One moment, the air was thick with the copper tang of blood and the roar of a collapsing empire. Princess Aradhyanshi had stood her ground, twin daggers flashing, until the cold bite of steel pierced her back-a traitor's gift. She had welcomed the darkness, expecting the silence of the ancestors. Instead, she woke up gasping for air, her lungs burning not with smoke, but with the frigid water of the modern world. The transition was a blur of neon lights and sterile hospital walls. She was no longer a commander of legions- she was Aaradhya Rathore, a girl whose life had been as quiet as a whisper until she "drowned." Aradhyanshi adapted with a warrior's precision. She learned to navigate the "glass bricks" they called phones and the strange, fast-moving carriages of the city. Some memories of her past life began to fray at the edges-but her instincts remained razor-sharp. She convinced herself this was a gift. A second chance to live without a blade at her throat. That delusion shattered on her first day at the elite Oberoi University. Vikramaditya...or ..Vikrant Oberoi? Her breath hitched, her pulse hammering a war drum against her ribs. She had traveled through time and death to escape her fate, only to find her greatest enemy waiting for her in the one place she thought she was safe. He didn't look away. His gaze locked onto hers, dark and unreadable, as if he had been counting the days until she arrived.

"The whole world overlooked me... until the villain looked only at me."People fell in love with the hero. I always cried for the villain. Not because he was kind. Not because he was good. But because no matter how cruel he was to the world... He loved only one person with his whole heart. Everyone called him a monster. A psychopath. A black flag. But all I could see was someone who desperately wanted to be loved. Maybe that's why I envied the heroine. Because she threw away the kind of love I had spent my entire life praying for. As for me... I was never anyone's favorite. Never anyone's first choice. The forgotten middle child . The friend people only tolerated because of someone else. The son who could never make his parents proud. The brother who was always compared to his siblings. No matter how hard I smiled... No one ever noticed the tears hidden behind it. So I escaped into novels. Then one impossible wish changed everything. "If only someone would choose me... just once." When I opened my eyes again... I had become the villain's forgotten fiancé. The one history erased before the heroine ever appeared. This time... I won't run from the villain. If the world wants the hero.. . Then I'll choose the villain. After all... Only the villain ever chose me.

In her past life, Sheng Xiaoyang was the discarded biological daughter of the wealthy Sheng family. Eager to please her cold parents and three cruel brothers, she endured their neglect while they showered the sweet, manipulative adopted sister, Gu Ruoruo, with love. Xiaoyang's desperation for affection eventually led to her tragic, lonely death. Now, she is back. Reborn into her eighteen-year-old self on the very day she was brought back to the Sheng mansion, Xiaoyang is no longer looking for love. She is completely numb. While her family ignores her and her brothers plot petty pranks, Xiaoyang quietly opens her laptop at night. Armed with five years of future knowledge, she begins building a shadow empire that will eventually control the city's economy. They thought she was a penniless, useless country girl. They told her she would beg on her knees if they kicked her out. But when the Sheng family faces total bankruptcy, they go to beg the city's mysterious, untouchable billionaire mogul for a lifeline-only to find Xiaoyang sitting in the CEO's chair. "You want a bailout? Security, throw these strangers out."

In her previous life, she trusted the wrong people, treated foes like friends, cut all ties with her family, and abandoned the one man who loved her more than anyone in this world, all for a cheap, poor, sorry excuse of a man whom she mistakenly took as a treasure. What was the result? She lost her inheritance, her family, got cheated on by that man with her best friend, and finally died a miserable death at the hands of her then fiance with her best friend. At the last moments of her life, she saw the only man who loved her, a man she had grown to hate, rush to her like a madman. She heard him scream in agony as her body lay lifeless in his arms, her mind reeling from the last moments of her life. Maybe the heavens took pity on her, or her unwillingness was just too great to resist that she found herself back to the day it all started, back to when she was eighteen. This time, though, she wouldn't make the same mistakes, nor would she allow herself to die so unjustly. This time, she would make them pay. The pain she felt in the previous life, they'd feel it a million times more. On top of that, she was determined to cling to a certain big boss and shower him with all the affection he deserved.
