Beloved by the Male Lead’s Nephew - Volume V #998054

Charlize Lienta is on trial.

After the explosion at the temple, the empire is more than willing to make her the villainess. A public trial could destroy her reputation, hand her enemies exactly what they want, and leave her with nowhere left to turn.

The real danger, however, doesn’t come from Duke Linix alone, nor from the emperor’s growing boldness. It wears a benevolent smile, speaks in blessings, and commands the faith of the empire.

When the Pope himself steps into the conflict, Charlize uncovers a conspiracy far greater than the charge against her: a crystal orb that reveals one’s deepest desire, a sacred grove tied to holy blood and dark magic, and a hidden plan to overthrow the empire itself.

Charlize answers the only way she knows how: with ruthless resolve, dangerous alliances, truth-compelling potions, divine power, and a willingness to strike first when no one else will.

Can one reborn villainess outmaneuver a man who cloaks rebellion in the name of God?
