Live as a Villainess

Imagine waking up as the villainess destined for an early grave, only to find yourself trapped in a relentless death loop. That’s the nightmare ordinary office worker Da-jeong Kim faces when she suddenly possesses the body of Christine Rosalind, a character fated to die at the novel’s outset. Though Da-jeong’s arrival initially averts Christine’s demise, death is merely delayed. Each time she perishes, she’s cruelly yanked back to the beginning of her life, forced to relive her tragic fate.

A chilling voice offers a singular, brutal solution: “Become a villain, and you shall live.” But how can an average woman embody true wickedness, especially when the world itself seems to be unraveling around her, demanding villainy for survival? As Da-jeong grapples with her new, painful existence and the ominous warning that “the world is collapsing, twisting characters,” unexpected figures emerge. There’s Raymon Myers, the original story’s male lead, inexplicably drawn to Christine; Diane Schneider, a formidable witch not found in the original plot; and Cordelian Parker, the novel’s original author and female lead, now possessed by an unknown entity. Each approaches Da-jeong with their own hidden agendas, further complicating her desperate fight for survival. Can Da-jeong transform into the villain she needs to be, or is she doomed to an endless cycle of death? Discover her fate in Chapter 1!
