Rei, a former samurai lieutenant is reincarnated into the body of an 8 year old, who happens to be the main villainess in a romance novel for foreign girls. A villainess destined to be executed by her fiancé the crown prince for cruelty towards the heroine of the novel. To avoid being executed she must to make allies among her enemies, get out of the heroine's way, and untangle herself from the poisonous intrigue of court the best she can in the role of a future courtier. However, the vaguely described backdrop said nothing about the conflicts building beyond the heroine's understanding, or that women weren't allowed on the battlefield. I am honestly left speechless. I am very touched and honored by all the attention, by all the sweet, beautiful and fun comments I've received over the last month, it's been truly amazing. To those who already enjoy it, I hope you will continue to do so. To those who decide to pick it up, I hope you have as much fun with it as I did!

Takemichi saw a gun and came to a decision. Mikey saw a dead body and cried. The universe decided it was enough and brought the past to watch their future. Slight MaiTake. Temporary major character death. Cross-posted on ao3 and ffnet. Please don't repost or translate into other languages. (This is my first try at writing TR fanfiction, so characters are bound to be OOC. This is pure self-indulgent fanfic (no SI-OC don't worry), so all the tropes are what I like in the fandom and want to read essentially. Also trigger warnings for death and suicide. Not beta-read.) (I have always wanted to write a "characters react story". And this idea took place. I am first and foremost a reader, a writer next; so the quality is not as good. If you find any mistakes please comment. Helpful critics are always welcome, flames are not allowed. Also, I may abandon this project if my attention diverts... so enjoy while it lasts lmao. And I hate Kisaki so he ain't included.) #110 in timetravel : April '22 #16 in reacting : August '22 #7 in watching : May '22

Falling into the fiery hell she created must've been the perfect way for her to die. The other woman would then become the heroine that saved the town's people from the mad queen that burnt half of the population down and the duke would become the hero that protected the heroine. They would then be wed and have little children. They would live happily in the new world that they would create after vanquishing the evil queen. They would then lead the people unto a prosperous era of peace. Just... Where?... Where did I go wrong? When I am reborn, will you please give me a simple life?
