The Empress Who Became the Underworld Boss
암흑가 수장이 된 황후Synopsis
The moment Melina drank the poisoned wine handed to her by her husband, she realized the truth.
He had long had a mistress.
Even the family she trusted had betrayed her.
She had lived her entire life obediently, desperate not to be abandoned—
only to discover she was an empress loved by no one.
And then—
When she opened her eyes after crossing death,
she had become Berta Monmouth, the head of the underworld organization, Temno.
“Now it’s my turn to repay everything.”
But to bring down the emperor,
she must join hands with Grand Duke Caster, who was long ago pushed out of the line of succession.
“You’ve come to make a deal with me? The great head of Temno herself?”
“To be precise, I’ve come to propose marriage.”
The Grand Duke, who has been threatened nightly by assassins sent from the imperial palace, reacts exactly as Melina expects—with suspicion.
To him, she presents an offer he cannot refuse…
Having returned from death as the leader of the underworld,
will Melina succeed in her revenge?
