Enrolled as a Fake Noble, Now the Whole Empire Is Fighting Over Me

[Epic fantasy romance + scheming emperor + power couple mind games + everyone’s favorite + identity reversal]

After monsters destroyed her homeland, Calista passes herself off as a noble and enters the Imperial Academy, determined to find the lost power of the stars.

Along the way, she meets Ade, a mysterious swordsman. He teaches her to kill, gives her a false identity, and treats her as the key to opening an ancient temple.

She knows he is using her.

He knows she is ready to betray him at any moment.

But when Calista obtains a fragment of the star texts and disappears without a word, the man who never miscalculated gives the order to seal off the entire city himself for the first time.

Later, Calista sees him again at the imperial court.

Her former swordsmanship instructor sits high on the throne and asks nonchalantly:

“After taking what belongs to me, are you planning to run away a second time?”
