A woman reborn, Crown Princess Luxeria is derided as a doll, beautiful and docile. But that's merely the mask she wears. Powerful magic courses through her veins--magic that can corrupt hearts, erase memories, and pluck one's innermost thoughts from the air. After years of being confined to a tower, she is finally set free...only to become embroiled in a grand conspiracy that kicks off with her parents' murder. Thrust onto a tragic stage of love and betrayal, she will play her part to perfection.

Iris Almeria, the daughter of a powerful duke, is arrested and forced to her knees in front of her fiancée. Her betrothed, Prince Edward, is rejecting her for another woman! As Iris's life flashes before her eyes, she suddenly realizes she knows exactly what's coming next--because she has been reincarnated into her favorite otome game as its villainess. Quick thinking saves her from exile, but Iris can't rest yet. If she wants to survive this world that sees her as wicked, she'll have to change the world itself.

Once little more than a doll on a shelf, Luxeria has ascended the throne and begun her quest for revenge. Armed with incredible magic, past-life memories, and the five Sacred Swords, she cleaves away the corrupted roots of the state. Her investigation into the depths of her enemies' sins reveals a disturbing truth: a shocking number of magical children have gone missing from the city. But to what end? When our bloodthirsty queen uncovers the true horrors wrought by those in power, heads are bound to roll!

When Iris was expelled from the royal academy, she was banished from high society. Two years later, she may be the beloved acting governor of Armelia and president of a flourishing company, but she dares not consort with the rest of the nobility. Now she's received an invitation to the annual Foundation Day celebration--an invitation from the royal family no less, who she cannot afford to refuse. Thrust into the fray of society politics, Iris must rapidly learn to stand her ground, lest she lose everything she's worked so hard to build.

Duchess Merellis Armelia, mother of Iris Armelia, is the Flower of High Society, a gorgeous woman known for her unmatched skills on the social battlefield. Now begins the untold tale of her girlhood, during which she wielded not her charms, but her blade.

A noble's daughter is expected to marry for political reasons, and Merellis is no exception. Her father orders her to abandon the sword and arranges a marriage with the prime minister's eldest son. Merellis knows there's only so much she can do with her blade, so she begins to wonder how else she can protect those dearest to her. She steels herself and goes to meet her new fiance...and is shocked at who shows up! Can Merellis use her natural fighting instincts to survive on the battlefield of high society?

Merellis is turning heads among the members of high society, but the threat of war looms overhead as political relations between Tasmeria and Rimmel start to crumble. At the same time, serious accusations have been brought up against House Anderson—Merellis's own family! If General Anderson falls from public favor, a war would be inevitable. Merellis sees just one way to avoid this: it's time to disguise herself as a soldier and step onto the battlefield to secure victory.

The war Iris always feared has finally come. No longer content to send spies to spread discontent in Tasmeria, Tweil descends with their army. Iris must rush back to her duchy to defend her people and rally the other territories to her cause.

Having rescued her people in the eastern territories and thwarted another plot to undermine Armelia, Iris throws herself back into the work of governing her duchy. It's only through work that she can make herself forget her growing feelings for Dean, but she can't avoid thoughts of marriage forever. A foreign prince has come to the duchy seeking an alliance--and Iris's hand to cement the deal. If Iris gives herself to the prince, she secures Armelia's future...and gives up her heart forever.
