I Plead the Villain's Innocence

One day, while living as a ruthless lawyer who cared about nothing but money, I suddenly found myself possessing the body of Elena Christie, a penniless extra in a romance fantasy novel. To escape the hell of poverty, which was even more terrifying than the fiery depths of hell itself, I decided to defend Grand Duke Benedict Rihart, the greatest villain in this world, who was on the verge of being sentenced to death for murder. “We are in a contractual relationship. Nothing more, nothing less. Don't expect anything else.” What a needlessly dramatic way to tell me there wouldn't be any special bonuses beyond the agreed-upon payment. Well, it doesn't matter anyway! It's just a contract marriage, and once I've made a fortune, I'll divorce him immediately! ...But why does everything keep getting so complicated?! “...I'm beginning to think Elena Christie has feelings for me.”
