The Duke's Strange Daughter

After falling off the staircase, Elaine McBerryl arrived at the gates of heaven and rested in peace..... or so she thought. Who would have known that once she opens her eyes, not only she maintained a healthy body, she apparently had the shape of the 12-years-old Elaine Ruby, one of the leading villainess of an otome game* she played when she was younger?

It should have been a happy event for Elaine to be reincarnated. However, the in-game villain Elaine Ruby is a girl who is fated to die inside the game. This villainess character never lives until the end if the main character gets her [happy end].

"If I got reborn, why must I have the same fate as before? The world is really unfair" Elaine said with a long sigh, accepts her unfortunate fate, and resolved to live a lazy life until death.

After all, what else can you expect from an ex-25-years-old-office-lady Elaine McBerryl who had already experienced death once?

Trying to find a way back to her old world?
"You're kidding me? I died. Also, I don't want to find a new job.."

Practicing magic?
"As long as it is not a lot of work, then I'll do it."

Getting rid of the main character?
"Society interactions are too much work for me."

Stopping her death flags** from happening?
"I don't know. Maybe? If I feel like it?"

Finding a lover?
"It's okay. I don't think I need a lover. I just want to spend my days staring at those gem-like-faces hunks."

This is a story of a woman-reincarnated-girl who wants to live a comfortable and simple life but always get herself into danger and unwanted situations.
