Summary
Daphne’s second chance at life came with a cruel twist: she was reborn as a minor villainess, destined for an early, tragic end. Determined to rewrite her fate, she meticulously plotted to secure her future, even going so far as to elevate the original story’s male lead to the throne. But her efforts were met with a devastating betrayal, sending her back to square one—or rather, back to the age of thirteen.
This time, Daphne isn’t playing nice. Her new mission? To bring the treacherous royals and that backstabbing male lead to their knees. To achieve this, she sets her sights on the most formidable, feared figure in the empire: the Archvillain. She’ll become his patron, his silent supporter, and together, they’ll dismantle the very foundations of power.
However, Daphne quickly discovers that supporting a villain is far more complicated—and endearing—than she ever imagined. Why is the Archvillain’s father suddenly so tearfully affectionate? Why are her new household staff showering her with bizarre, over-the-top gifts? And why, despite her past terror, does she find herself constantly teasing the very man she’s supposed to be manipulating? Just when she thinks she can slip away from this unexpectedly loving chaos, a chilling question reminds her: ‘Where do you think you’re going, Daphne?’ It seems escaping her new, villainous family might be harder than surviving her original fate. Dive into chapter 1 to see Daphne’s chaotic journey unfold!
