I Assert the Innocence of the Villain (ongoing)

In my previous life, I was a ruthless, money-grubbing lawyer. Now, I've transmigrated into the body of Elena Christie, a penniless extra in a romance novel. To avoid poverty, I've taken on the most high-stakes case imaginable: defending the story's ultimate villain, Duke Benedict Richard, from execution. My motivation is purely financial—half his fortune! But as I dig into the case, I find a web of lies, a real killer on the loose, and a Duke who is far more complicated than the 'villain' the world sees. For the sake of my payday, I'll prove him innocent even if I have to rewrite the story myself.
