Everyone loved the "pure and perfect" heroine-except me. I was just a reader who got sick of watching the tragic villainess twin be humiliated, heartbroken, and killed for daring to want love. So, I tossed the book in the trash... and woke up as her. With a sassy system, twisted fate, and a burning grudge, I'm done playing the role of the jealous loser. Now? The villain chases after me like a man starved. The male lead can't stop falling in love. And the heroine? She's not so beloved anymore. I'll rewrite this story-and this time, the villainess gets everything. Watch out, world. I'm not here to survive. I'm here SLAY

the general without a war, and the villainess without a crown, vanished from the story. But the story was wrong. Because it wasn't the prince and the heroine who would rise. It was the ones left behind

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. That was what they whispered about me. My mother was a dancer who seduced an Emperor to survive. I was the ignored princess who seduced a Prince to steal a throne. I thought I was the heroine of a romance novel. I thought if I smiled enough, schemed enough, and loved him enough, I would get my happily ever after. I was wrong. My sister was the beloved Cinderella. The Crown Prince was her Prince Charming. And I? I was just the wicked stepsister who got in the way. My reward for stealing the male lead was a hellish marriage, a cold bed, and a lonely death. Now, I have returned to the beginning. I'm done chasing fairytales. I'm done trying to be someone I'm not. This time, I won't go to the ball. I won't wear the glass slipper. I will just fade into the background and disappear. Or so I thought. "Careful, Your Highness." On the balcony where I tried to hide from the world, a hand caught me. It wasn't a Prince. It was a Knight I had never noticed before. I wanted to retire from this fairytale, but it seems the story isn't done with me yet

𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗜𝗦 𝗠𝗬 𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗬!! ✦━━━━━━༺༻━━━━━━✦ ➥ 𝑰𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉: She's your average villainess who has done all sorts of crazy things. Yes Cecilia or well the previous owner of her body had done all of those things. So technically it wasn't her... Cecilia Wolken regained her memories of her previous life after she tried to jump out of the window to end it all. The very moment she woke up, she tried to jump out of the window again. "Just let me die already" Unlike your average reincarnated person, Cecilia doesn't want to live so she tries to welcome the bad ending with open arms. And so she tries to, well die. To her dismay those annoying people just won't leave her alone. "What the hell are you up to this time?" Everyone was suspicious of just what she might be scheming. Accused of just being an attention seeker at first, people around her begin to realize her sudden personality change... "If I go, " she whispered against his mouth, almost brushing his lips, "I will haunt you. I will tear at the edges of your sleep. I will be the voice in your head that tells you nothing compares. I will ruin you for anyone who tries." Evander's hands slid around her waist, pulling her flush against him now, not pleading anymore. "You already have," he breathed. "You are not allowed to die without me," the duke said, his voice steady in a way it hadn't been before. "And I am not allowed to live without you." ♔ ───────── ♔ 𝑯𝑰𝑮𝑯𝑬𝑺𝑻 𝑹𝑨𝑵𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮𝑺 (so far): ♔ ───────── ♔ #1 in fl #1 in deathwish #1 in living #1 in poison #2 in antagonist
