PORTOFINO

To uphold her father's wishes, Seizel Aramis lived an honest and virtuous life, only to be betrayed by those she trusted, conned by crooks, sent to jail, and executed. But the moment she dies, Seizel wakes up in the past, right before her misfortunes began. This time, Seizel decides to live life differently by becoming the greatest swindler in the empire! Armed with a newfound goal and the determination to fulfill it, can Seizel succeed in going from noblewoman to con-woman?

The symbol of beauty and money, Tatiana Cartien, the most eligible bachelorette of the Freya Empire. The despair of being betrayed by her trusted fiance lasted only a moment, as who could’ve known a bigger shock would happen. “I’ll only endure for a few days, getting discovered in an idiotic manners of all ways.” To think that my family, who I believed was on my side, knew my fiance’s nature. Tatiana threatened to never get married, and her mother, who once coddled her, abandoned her. “If you say you don’t want to then I guess you should leave this house.” “...” “Of course, you should leave behind everything I’ve given to you.” The time she has left is one week. If she can’t find someone worth marrying, she’ll be kicked out onto the streets with nothing. Just when she thought, “is this the end”, one person came to mind! Kainel Towncent, an illegitimate child who had once been treated with contempt, who then rose from mercenary to the hailed war hero of Freya in 3 years. A road with a dead end, there’s nothing left to lose. In order to survive in this grim world, grabbing the hand of the devil is enough. “Tatiana Cartien. No matter what anyone says from now on, you’re the lady of Towncent. If you come to me with an offer of marriage first, then you need to take responsibility until the end.”

I! Wanna! Go back! Under the guidance of her obstinate father, Seizel had been living as ‘the most perfect lady in the world’ until her demise as an unexpected murderer. That very day when her miserable ten-year-long imprisonment was about to end with her beheading, her second life commenced. I’m just not gonna give a f*ck! I’ll screw them over before they screw me over! I’ll chew them up and spit them out before they can leech off me! No more Ms. Nice Girl. Now, Seizel decided to live however she wants! While she was at it, she planned to become the greatest con artist who swindles the empire itself, and picked up some former cellmates to get the second act of her life going… Why does it seem like the world’s gonna end when I’ve just made up my mind! “……Open your eyes, you fine lad. I need to get my money’s worth.” For a world that’s easier to exploit! As a final, bite-the-bullet act of charity, she took in and patched up ‘The Empire’s Last Guardian’ Duke Leviaus, saving him from the brink of death. Now, all he has to do is bring glory to the empire…… Wow. What kind of a sucker is this? “About who saved me, I cannot remember anything.” The person who saved him is me, yet I’m about to be done dirty by randos, hell no. Thus, unintentionally gaining the title of duchess, Seizel kickstarts her ‘getting her money’s worth’ project. “As long as you pay the promised fees on time, I will act as the perfect duchess for a year.” “That would not be necessary. Everything in this house belongs to Your Ladyship anyway.” But this man was a sucker of another level that was never before seen or heard. Courteous, pushy, clingy, “W-what are you doing here, Your Grace?” “It’s our first night together, my lady.” …and lecherous.
