The Executed Villainess Claims the Empress’s Crown

The next queen, nearly executed for a crime she didn’t commit, crawls her way back from the depths of hell—the ultimate tale of revenge begins!   Westarea, a duke’s daughter, had dreamed of becoming a queen who was noble and beloved by all, diligently undergoing rigorous training since she was a child. However, her efforts were in vain; through a conspiracy, she was framed for the attempted assassination of the princess, her engagement to the crown prince was annulled, and she lost all her status and honor.   Then came the day of her execution. Forced to drink poison for a crime she was innocent of, she was supposed to perish in excruciating agony—or so she thought.   “If I cannot become a queen in this country, I will seize power in a larger one, and I will prove my innocence. That is my revenge.”   This is a revenge Cinderella story about Westarea, who was executed as a villainess, as she flees to the greatest empire on the continent to become its empress.
