A Livid Lady's Guide to Getting Even: How I Crushed My Homeland with My Mighty Grimoires is a Japanese anime television series scheduled to premiere in July 2026. The story is a fantasy revenge thriller that follows Elizabeth Leiston, the daughter of the powerful prime minister of the Kingdom of Haldoria. As the crown prince's fiancée, she was considered the picture of a perfect noble lady and the future queen. Her seemingly charmed life takes a dramatic turn when the prince publicly humiliates her, breaks off their engagement, and has her thrown into prison on false charges.

While imprisoned, Elizabeth is consumed by rage over the betrayal by the kingdom she served loyally. With the encouragement of her loyal maid, Mireille Katarina, she decides to abandon her former life and vows to bring down Haldoria. Elizabeth escapes across the border and reinvents herself under the alias Ellie Leis. She possesses the Seven Grimoires, powerful magical tomes that grant her significant abilities. Using her intelligence and these grimoires, she establishes a new life in the neighboring Yutear Empire, where she builds a trading company and begins to amass influence, wealth, and military might with the singular goal of crushing her homeland and everyone who wronged her.

The main character is Elizabeth Leiston, also known as Ellie Leis, a sharp and ruthless strategist who is entirely focused on her quest for payback and has no interest in romance or marriage after her betrayal. She is voiced by Saori Onishi. Her most trusted companion is her maid, Mireille Katarina, whose loyalty never wavers. In the Yutear Empire, Elizabeth is aided by Lucas Lebrick, an ambassador who helps her gain asylum and financial backing for her ventures. The cast also includes Tida, a nun with a violent streak and a sacred scythe, and Lunoa Carlton, a young girl who becomes Elizabeth’s apprentice. The primary antagonists include Prince Friede, Elizabeth's incompetent ex-fiancé, and Sylvia Lockit, the noblewoman who captured his interest and led to Elizabeth's downfall. A notable part of Elizabeth's story is her adoption of Alice, an artificially created spirit with fire affinities, whom she treats as her daughter.

The story is set in a fantasy world, beginning in the Kingdom of Haldoria, a realm that Elizabeth once helped manage from the shadows. After her escape, the action shifts primarily to the Yutear Empire, a rival nation where she is granted asylum and uses its free market as a staging ground for her economic warfare. Key narrative arcs include Elizabeth's initial fall from grace and imprisonment, her escape and the formation of her new identity, and her systematic campaign to ruin Haldoria. This includes thwarting a border conflict instigated by Prince Friede and dismantling his allies. Another significant arc involves Elizabeth's efforts to gain a Special License from the Empire's Merchants' Guild Council to extend her influence, as well as her unexpected journey into motherhood after she adopts the spirit child, Alice, from inside a fire drake's corpse.
