Summary
Anna Tanaka’s life was a series of obedient choices, until a sudden traffic accident brought it to an abrupt end. Given a second chance, she eagerly chose to reincarnate as the villainess from her favorite novel, hoping to finally live life on her own terms. But fate, it seems, has a cruel sense of humor. Instead of the cunning antagonist, Anna awakens as Aurelia, the story’s destined heroine! Now, trapped in the role she desperately wanted to avoid, Aurelia faces a terrifying future: engagement to Prince Freed, which will inevitably lead to the original villainess, Beatrice, being executed—and Aurelia herself becoming a target. To survive, she must defy destiny and transform into a magnificent villainess, one so formidable that even the prince will despise her! The only problem? Aurelia’s inherent kindness makes villainy an impossible feat. Just as despair sets in, she encounters Lutz, a mysterious manners instructor rumored to be the legendary ‘Villainess Maker.’ Desperate, Aurelia offers herself as his apprentice, but what dark lessons await her, and can she truly escape the clutches of a fate that seems determined to make her the heroine… or something far more complicated? Discover Aurelia’s desperate struggle for survival in Chapter 1!
