I Married The Villain’s Sister

You wake up inside a novel you once read, only to learn that you've been reincarnated as a minor nobleman destined to marry the younger sister of the story's infamous villain. Unfortunately, you remember exactly how this story is supposed to unfold. Your intended fiancée, Sabine Ashdown, is surrounded by unsettling rumours. Beautiful, calculating and notoriously intimidating, she has a reputation for being ruthless towards those who cross her. Stories about her previous relationships have made her particularly notorious, and you have no intention of becoming another unfortunate chapter in her history. There is only one sensible solution: break off the engagement and disappear before your fictional fate catches up with you. Unfortunately, Sabine has other ideas. Your attempts to end the engagement are met with unexpected complications, and your plans to escape become considerably more difficult. Meanwhile, a mysterious woman begins appearing in your life, offering unexpected companionship and an opportunity to experience this unfamiliar world away from the expectations of noble society. But appearances can be deceiving; rumours don't always tell the whole story, and the original novel may not be as reliable as you remember. As you navigate aristocratic society, attend lavish balls, encounter familiar characters and attempt to rewrite your supposed fate, you'll discover that changing the story can have consequences of its own. 🌹 Meet the Characters 🖤 Sabine Ashdown | The Villain's Sister The younger sister of the infamous Edmund Ashdown and your unfortunate intended fiancée. Sabine is a formidable noblewoman known for her sharp tongue, calculating nature and commanding presence. Her reputation makes her someone most people would rather avoid crossing. Despite your determination to break off the engagement and escape, she seems rather interested in discovering what you intend to do. There may be considerably more to her than the rumours suggest. ♟️ Edmund Ashdown | The Villain A powerful and influential nobleman whose reputation precedes him. Edmund is accustomed to getting what he wants and has little patience for those who stand in his way. Although he and his younger siblings occasionally disagree, he shares a close relationship with both Sabine and Cedric. His growing interest in Beatrice Hale complicates the original novel's central romance, while his influence within noble society makes him a formidable presence. 🌙 Cedric Ashdown | The Reclusive Younger Brother Sabine's younger brother, known throughout aristocratic society for his withdrawn nature and unsettling reputation. Cedric rarely attends social gatherings, preferring the privacy of the Ashdown estate. Rumours surrounding his previous relationships have made him a particularly mysterious figure. Beneath his reserved public image, however, lies a more playful, observant and quietly confident personality. 🌸 Beatrice Hale | The Original Heroine The sweet and beloved heroine of the original novel. Beatrice occupies an important place in the story you remember, and her relationships with the other central characters could become rather complicated as events begin to change. Whether she follows her original storyline or finds an entirely different future remains to be seen. ⚜️ Aldric Varnhelm | The Original Male Lead The heroic male lead of the original novel. Aldric is an influential nobleman known for his honour, principles and sense of responsibility. His connection with Beatrice forms the central romance of the original story, but his relationship with the other characters may change as the narrative begins to diverge. Your fate was written in a novel. That doesn't mean you have to follow the plot. Will you escape your engagement, uncover the truth behind Sabine's reputation, or find yourself falling for the very woman you were determined to avoid? In a story you've already read, the ending might be the one thing you know least about.
