The Fake Priestess Tames the Tyrant

“If you don’t want to spend your life being mocked as a half-baked priestess, live like you’re dead as my wife.”

Russelin Lavrenti, scorned by her husband Aydin for being a “half-baked” priestess, suffers a miserable fate at the hands of her husband’s mistress, Celia, who is the true priestess. After meeting her death, Russelin inexplicably returns to the past—before she was bound by Aydin Bert’s cruel constraints. Determined to change her fate, she seeks out a man and proposes a deal.

“So, you think you can help me escape, after failing to leave this place yourself?”

“Only if I’m not really a half-baked priestess, as you say.”

Leonard Estere, a man who dares to chart his own path, unmoved by even the dictates of the gods, accepts Russelin’s bold offer.

“Whatever you desire, I’ll place it in your hands.”

“…!”

“Hold on, don’t crumble. If it gets too hard, you can lean on me.”

As this cold and indifferent man begins to stir her broken heart, Russelin also finds herself entangled in a deeper mystery. What she thought was a half-baked identity hides a truth at the heart of the legend of Ragnar.

“What I couldn’t accomplish, you will.”_
“Because you are Ragnar’s only priestess.”
