  • One moment, Roxanne was a blunt, pragmatic college student. The next, she awakened inside the body of Roxanne von Duccat, the empire's most hated traitor, standing on a public scaffold with exactly five minutes left to live. As the citizens cheer for her death, she realizes a terrifying truth: the four most powerful and dangerous men in the kingdom are all watching from the front row, completely determined to see her head on a spike. To Alistair, the unyielding Sword Commander; Julian, the righteous Crown Prince; Ethan, the icy High Priest; and Malakai, the lethal Shadow Overlord, her execution is long overdue. Just as the axe begins to fall, a legendary ancient artifact awakens in her mind: The Great Heroine Salvation System. It should be her ultimate survival cheat code. Instead, it is an absolute, unmitigated bimbo. Hopelessly optimistic and thoroughly delusional, the System views every literal death threat as "extreme tsundere affection" and insists that her executioners are actually her destined love interests. Because its commands are absolute, refusing them brings painful penalties, leaving Roxanne with no choice but to obey its increasingly ridiculous "Heroine Quests." To stay alive, she is forced to trip dramatically into the Crown Prince’s arms, pout playfully at assassins, and bake love cakes for the men actively plotting her demise. Armed with modern common sense, a deadpan expression, and sheer, unadulterated shamelessness, Roxanne weaponizes these absurd romantic misunderstandings to completely derail her enemies' plans. Yet, as her forced antics accidentally turn her deadliest executioners into fiercely protective allies, she uncovers a dark, world-ending conspiracy that the original villainess was framed for. Trapped between an imperial mystery, four dangerously complicated men, and the single dumbest legendary artifact ever created, Roxanne has to balance navigating high-stakes politics, clearing her name, and preventing her airheaded System from accidentally killing her in the name of true love.
