Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master! Novel

Thea Shaw, after thirty years of diligent work as a Great National Master in the Women's Respect Country, is forced to travel back in time. Before her first journey, she was Thea Sutton, a young woman raised in the countryside for twenty years, unaware that a fake heiress had usurped her place in the elite Sutton Family. Her return to her birth family reveals indifferent parents, condescending relatives, and a polite but superior replacement. Initially seething with indignation, thirty years in a female-dominant society has tempered Thea's fighting spirit; she decides to merely get by. The Suttons are shocked when their long-lost daughter, instead of claiming her status, champions feudalism. The Great National Master, who controls national destiny through fortune-telling and persuasion, becomes a sensation. Clients marvel at Thea Shaw’s accurate predictions but are instructed to dress formally for appointments. Landon Ford, the heir to the powerful Ford Family, known for his volatile temper, encounters Thea. She, with an ethereal aura, politely advises him to button his collar, emphasizing the importance of reputation. Landon, captivated, declares that he now has no reputation and she must take responsibility. Thea laments the lack of virtue in today's youth.
