A Cozy Bed of Ruin
By @john1208
Corelia Montavi’s first life ended in the cold agony of a lonely childbirth, while her husband Cervan was busy celebrating with his mistress. Reborn on the dreary afternoon of her grandfather’s funeral - the very day her marital nightmare began - Corelia decides she’s far too tired to plot a loud, violent vengeance. A true lazy genius, she realizes the most efficient path to absolute ruin requires outsourcing. Wrapping her brilliant mind in a cozy, unbothered facade, Corelia approaches Roccano Di'Veltro, Cervan’s terrifying and untouchable superior at the consortium. With a sweet smile and a meticulously gathered stack of Cervan’s embezzlement files, she leaks everything to the police through Roccano's influence. What begins as a transactional leak blossoms into a heartwarming sanctuary, as the ruthless boss proves surprisingly soft for the sleepy heiress and fiercely protective of her younger brother, Tavio. Corelia effortlessly orchestrates the exposure of the mistress's fake pregnancy at a glittering family banquet, but as her enemies crumble, an unsettling truth surfaces. Her childhood mentor, the warm and maternal Madama Celli, was the mastermind pulling Cervan's strings all along. Can Corelia summon the energy to outsmart the woman who raised her, or will her newfound happiness be stolen away?
