Twice Born Empress

Aristia La Monique is raised from childhood to become the future empress of the Castina Empire, destined to stand beside Crown Prince Rublis according to an ancient prophecy. For years, she dedicates herself to the role, believing that loyalty and devotion will eventually earn his affection. But everything changes when a mysterious girl named Janet suddenly appears in the palace. Claiming to be from another world, Janet is soon revealed to be the true subject of the prophecy. The court quickly shifts its allegiance, and Aristia is stripped of her position and reduced to a mere imperial consort. Despite the humiliation, Aristia continues to serve the empire faithfully, taking on the responsibilities Janet cannot handle and hoping that her efforts will one day be recognized. Instead, she is treated with indifference and suspicion. Her marriage to Rublis leads to a life lived in misery until, at last, she is accused of treason and executed. However, at the moment of her death, Aristia awakens years in the past in her childhood home, with full memory of the life that destroyed her. Given a second chance, she resolves to change her fate and refuse the role that once defined her entire existence.
