The Transmigrated Villainess Doesn't Want the Crown Princess's Position
Book One: Twelve Ladies Enter the Palace
Temperance Astrid wakes up inside the body of an infamous villainess just as twelve noble ladies enter the imperial palace to compete for the position of Crown Princess.
The problem?
She doesn't want the crown.
Between dawn etiquette, endless examinations, impossible court rules, and a lifetime trapped behind palace walls, she'd rather fail every test and go home. But every attempt to eliminate herself only makes her appear more admirable... especially to the dangerously observant Crown Prince Cyrdorian Fireforge.
As mysterious accidents turn into deadly attacks, Temperance finds herself repeatedly rescued by the very prince she's trying to avoid. With hidden enemies plotting in the shadows and only four candidates destined to remain, escaping the selection may prove far more dangerous than winning it.
