After an untimely death, I woke up in the world of my favorite otome game...only to realize I'd been reborn as the villainess, the character destined for ruin. Great. At first, I thought I was the heroine, who wouldn't want to be the star of their own story? But reality hit hard when I discovered my true role: the scheming noblewoman meant to be defeated. Determined to avoid my doom, I resolved to change my fate... until I noticed something weird. The male lead? Ignored. The heroine? Smitten. The female rivals? Obsessed. Now, instead of fighting for survival, I'm drowning in attention from women who should hate me. And the worst part? I'M STRAIGHT. "I'M STRAIGHT! WHAT THE FU-" I screamed at the so-called "god" floating above me, lazily flipping through a manga. She smirked, golden eyes glinting as she sipped her lemon tea. "Darling, you might be straight as a road... but even roads have curves~" I gritted my teeth, my face burning. "For the first time in my life, I hate you, God!" "Oh, come on," she purred, the room suddenly turning icy. "Where's the fun in a boring reverse harem? This way, it's a surprise." ...I should've read the fine print before reincarnating.

There lived a handsome prince engaged to the most beautiful woman in the world. Despite her beauty, she failed to capture the prince's heart. Instead, the prince fell for a rather average woman who also captured the heart of the cold, Second Prince. Blinded by jealousy, the beautiful woman was eventually killed by the Second Prince. The lesson of this story emphasizes that looks aren't everything, and what really matters is the 'true beauty' inside a person's heart. Yeon-Woo is a middle aged woman in her late 30s. After she passes away from a plane incident with her loving husband, she wakes up as Celine, the beautiful woman who is fated to die. As Yeon-Woo rewrites her story, she learns how to heal and love again. DISCLAIMER: although the story is mine, the art was not done by me!

Betrayal once took everything from her. So this time... she'll take everything back. ~ In her past life, Catherine Rosenberg was once the pride of the Western Empire---the Duke's cherished daughter, a woman blessed with ethereal beauty with unmatched swordsmanship, and magic that shimmered like the stars themselves. Bound in marriage to the Emperor, she was meant to live a life of power and luxury. But love was never part of their story. Blinded by misunderstanding and pride, Catherine despised the very man she was tied to---and fought relentlessly to be free from him. Until he died. Murdered by the one person she trusted. The gentle Second Prince... or so she believed. It's already too late when Catherine uncovered the truth. It's already too late, when she realized the Emperor she hated was never her enemy. Framed for treason, stripped of everything she held dear, she could only watch as her world burned-her family executed, her name dragged through the mud, and her own life ending beneath the cold blade of betrayal. With her final breath, she made a wish... A desperate plea for a second chance. And fate answered. Reborn to the past, Catherine is no longer the naive noblewoman who was easily deceived. This time, she knows the faces behind the masks, the lies hidden beneath honeyed words, and the blood that will soon stain the empire. This time, she will not hate the wrong man. This time, she will protect him. The Emperor will live. The traitors will fall. And the game of power? She will not be a pawn. She will be the Queen. Second chances are dangerous. Because this time, a new life begins. . . 📌 Started: 08/12/25 📌 Ended: 📌 Status: Current on hiatus (On-going)
