A spoiled heiress, a cold marriage of convenience, and the handsome servant caught in the middle. That’s the setup of *Serena*, a historical drama manhwa set in the fictional 19th-century capital of Wellenberg. Serena Serenity is the impulsive heir to the Serenity Hotel, a crumbling property her family is desperate to save. To secure its future, her grandmother forces her into a business marriage with Eiser, a stern and powerful outsider she immediately despises. Feeling trapped, Serena rebels by openly parading Frederick, a devoted and handsome servant who caters to her every whim, right under her husband's nose.

This webtoon is for readers who love messy, flawed protagonists and drama that builds slowly. The early chapters are notorious for a main character who is genuinely hard to like, but for fans of character-driven stories where no one is a clear hero, watching her stumble is the whole point. It’s not lighthearted—the tone is heavy, the stakes are psychological, and the central conflict isn't a sword fight but a battle of wills. If you’re looking for a quick, feel-good romance where everyone is perfect, this isn’t it. But if you want a dramatic, slow-burn historical about a family business on the line and an unhinged love triangle, it delivers a unique flavor you won't find in your average *isekai* story.
