Trapped as the Villainess
Clarice Torres has known pain all her life-her mother died giving birth to her, her father passed away when she was just fourteen, and the only family she had left was a drunk, gambling-addicted brother who never stopped taking money from her.
Tired of her empty, exhausting life, Clarice found escape in books. One night, she discovered a strange little bookstore hidden in an alley she'd never noticed before. Inside, an old man lent her a novel titled "The Flower of Santa Lucia".
She loved the story. She adored Maria Kristina Batumbakal, the kind heroine. And she hated Klarissa Dimagiba-the cruel villainess who made Maria's life miserable.
Three days later, just as she planned to return the book, her brother showed up again. Angry. Demanding money. A fight broke out. Clarice fell-and everything went dark.
When she woke up, the world was different.
The year was 1950.
She wasn't in her apartment anymore.
She was inside the book she had just finished reading.
And she wasn't Maria.
She was Klarissa-the villainess she hated the most.
Now trapped in the story, Clarice must rewrite a fate that was never hers... before it swallows her whole.
