The Trials and Tribulations of My Next Life as a Noblewoman

Karen is reborn in another world, but she’s entirely ordinary—no powers, no special skills, and no grand mission to accomplish. Fortunately, life is easy as a rich noble. Karen lives the good life until her mother completely forgets everything about her. When it’s discovered that Karen is actually the child of an affair, she’s banished from the family and forced to live on her own as a fourteen-year-old commoner! However, two years later, her family presents her with a chance to rejoin the ranks of the nobility under one condition: she must marry either the elderly, widowed margrave who lives on the frontier, or the dashing soldier who’s seemingly destined for greatness. Which will she choose?

Having settled into her new life as Margravine of Conrad, Karen’s world is turned upside down when a foreign nation launches an attack on the domain. With the vast majority of Conrad’s residents dead, leaving the nation of Falkrum reeling at this turn of events, Karen’s position is suddenly very precarious. How will she navigate the military intrigue, the mysterious Reinald, and those scheming to take what’s left of Conrad as their own?

The king of Falkrum is dead, and in a matter of days, his nation finds itself under imperial rule. Behind the seizure is Reinald, who beat his sister Wilhelmina to the punch, asserting himself as a new competitor for heir to the emperor himself. With the situation at home now unpredictable, and rumors spreading about her chosen allegiances, Karen and the Conrad family’s survivors move to the imperial capital to build a new base of operations. But intriguing mysteries of the past wait for them at the border...
