A Livid Lady's Guide to Getting Even: How I Crushed My Homeland with My Mighty Grimoires (Manga)

Elizabeth Leiston, the daughter of Haldoria’s powerful prime minister, is the picture of a refined noble lady and the perfect future queen. But when her fiancé publicly humiliates her, calls off their engagement, and starts spreading nasty rumors about her, Elizabeth reaches her breaking point. Why should her only friend be her loyal maid, and why should she continue to serve a country that doesn’t respect her? Elizabeth concludes she won't stand it any longer and will bring down the kingdom, even if it's the last thing she does! As such, she uses her quick wit and, more importantly, her seven magic grimoires to embark on a quest for revenge. And let her tell you, there will be hell to pay!

After Elizabeth escapes from the Kingdom of Haldoria, she poses as Ellie Leis and settles nicely into the Lebrick Viscounty. The growth of her business inspires her to expand her powerbase to execute her revenge. She sets out for the imperial capital alongside her trusted confidant Mireille and new apprentice Lunoa, only to realize she’ll need more staff she can trust. As Traitre grows larger by the day, she must also secure a stable production base to source material. But what happens when the war threatens that very production base? Elizabeth may need to trade her quill for a blade sooner than expected...
