The Villainess Starting Over and the Strange Cold-Hearted Duke summary: At her family home, Duchess Dilit has always been abused and treated as nothing more than a shadow of her stepsister. Even after marrying into a ducal house, she remains isolated. In the end she is used by the emperor’s nephew Izekius, branded a notorious villainess, and burned at the stake. “I want to do it over.” That single wish is granted, and she miraculously returns to the past. Dilit vows to take her revenge. But when she meets her husband Ashil again, he is nothing like the man she remembers. This time around, he has turned into an overprotective, doting husband who studies books on “how to treat your wife” with desperate intensity!? She wants revenge… yet her husband’s oddly misplaced kindness keeps throwing her off balance.
