A corporate lawyer trapped in a magical courtroom must defend a villainess using modern legal tactics against a justice system that runs on truth magic.

Synopsis

Clara Casewell is a sharp corporate lawyer who secretly devours trashy villainess novels. After securing a hard-won promotion over her smug rival Warren, her victory lap ends abruptly when her plane crashes—and she wakes up in a maid’s uniform, trapped in a world of magic and nobility. Worse, she’s bound to the infamous villainess Iris von Rhenia, and both stand accused of poisoning the kingdom’s beloved heroine. Arcadia’s courts run on truth magic, where the accused have no right to defense. Undeterred, Clara dives into the absurd, labyrinthine legal system, armed with modern wit and a growing suspicion that the brooding Duke of the North bears an uncanny resemblance to Warren. Between courtroom theatrics and aristocratic intrigue, she must outmaneuver biased judges, hidden conspiracies, and her own tangled feelings—because in this world, the law is a game, and losing means execution.
