The Timid Frontier Lady Won't Give Up on Revenge

Sophia Ariel lived in an impoverished frontier territory and, even upon turning 20, had never been given the opportunity to make her social debut. When a sudden proposal arrives from her aunt—a member of the empire's foremost ducal family—offering to sponsor her debut in high society, Sophia is suspicious but ultimately accepts.

However, nothing in this world is truly free. On the day of her debutante ball, Sophia is forced to pay an unexpected and heavy price. Swept up against her will in a fierce struggle for imperial power, she approaches Robert Uranus, an illegitimate prince of the empire who shares her unfortunate circumstances, with a strategic proposition. This is the revenge story of Sophia: poor and timid on the outside, yet incredibly clever and composed within.
