Rei, a former samurai lieutenant is reincarnated into the body of an 8 year old, who happens to be the main villainess in a romance novel for foreign girls. A villainess destined to be executed by her fiancé the crown prince for cruelty towards the heroine of the novel. To avoid being executed she must to make allies among her enemies, get out of the heroine's way, and untangle herself from the poisonous intrigue of court the best she can in the role of a future courtier. However, the vaguely described backdrop said nothing about the conflicts building beyond the heroine's understanding, or that women weren't allowed on the battlefield. I am honestly left speechless. I am very touched and honored by all the attention, by all the sweet, beautiful and fun comments I've received over the last month, it's been truly amazing. To those who already enjoy it, I hope you will continue to do so. To those who decide to pick it up, I hope you have as much fun with it as I did!

She was just a tired grade school teacher in the modern world- unappreciated, overworked, and denied her promotion year after year. Her only escape was her favorite otome game... until a tragic accident with a banana peel ended her life. When she opened her eyes again, she wasn't in her small apartment anymore. She was in a luxurious mansion. In a child's body. The villainess of her favorite game. Born as the real daughter of a Marquis, she knew how her story was supposed to end: starvation, betrayal, poison, and death. Her stepmother and stepsister would steal everything from her, and her own father would let her die without a tear. But this time, she refuses to play the role of a doomed villainess. Armed with memories from her past life, loyal brothers at her side, and a sharp tongue sharpened by years of teaching, she'll rewrite fate itself. Yet the world of nobility is more dangerous than she imagined- scheming crown princes, false heroines, poisonous stepmothers, and a cold northern Duke whispered to be a beast. But what if the "beast" turns out to be the one man who sees her for who she truly is?

[WARNING: Some parts of the story contains suicide.] She was suicidal before coming into a new world. When she jumped from a tall building, the time suddenly stopped for a moment before she falls to the ground. She then heard a mellifluous voice of a being she could not see. "Child, are you sure to end your life?" She wasn't able to speak from confusion. She's feeling as if it's is dream. But it's real. The time stopped and for a moment, and she hesitated about dying. "If you fall from this building, you won't die but you will lose your ability to walk and write. And you will no longer able to use your voice." The voice spoke again like he knows what will really happen. And because of this, she was taken aback with the sudden revelation. "Who are you?" She asked because she is thinking if it was a diety or a God. "My child, I will give you a chance to live but not in this world. In that world, remember that you are powerful. And use that power to live your life as you want." After the short conversation with that unknown being, she woke up in an extremely fancy room. And she found out that she was living in a body of a manipulated villainess. That villainess was known as a 'puppet villainess' whose power is to sing. And she knows what exactly will happen in the future because she has once read that mysterious novel. So then, what is she going to do in this life?

Princess Serena felt she was doomed to live a dreary, protected existence in the palace that she was prepared to end. Even once she inherits the title of Queen, the kingdom of Eden would never cease to protect its flower. Her fear of living a dull life ate at her until her tempting first love, Caius, renters it. He vows to free her of her sorrows with a promise of magic, adventure, and passion. She thought he would bring her the excitement she had been looking for, but joining her deadly infatuation would wilt Eden's flower to the brink of agony. ------------------------------------------------------------------- When he turned his ear to me, I noticed that I could see the right side of his mouth. I've used it as a substitute for eye contact. When he smirked just now, I felt myself tremble. "There's a corpse of my creation at my feet Serena. What makes you think I'm devout to religion?" That explains his willingness to sin. "You're a virtuous woman for keeping to your vows, but I am by no means a virtuous man." His intent to court me is not pure. It's certainly from his heart, but his cause is not only for my love. There's something that he must prove to me now... Whether his will is enough to turn me against my virtues. With each passing day I'm growing more weary that it might be. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Cover art by Erika De Luca on ArtStation This story is the first of a series Word Count: 147,000 Please read the introduction for triggers!

Inure: (v.) To accustom to accept something undesirable, evil, or painful. An other worldly girl is reincarnated as Queen Estella de Royalis, the villainess of a novel that is killed by her own husband. Having no other choice, she strives to save herself from that fate. However, the novel she read is not the reality she believed. ______ I tried on another, a red one this time. I twirl in its large skirt. "This one matches your eyes," I say as I spin. "This one too." I stop, putting my hands on my hips. "Are you going to order all of them?" "If I want to, yes, I will." He doesn't budge. I sigh, sitting next to him. "You know that you don't have to do this. I can go buy my own dresses." "I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?" ______ Note: This is entirely my work. I want to see if I'm able to write something without a plot set up for me. I hope you like it!

𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗜𝗦 𝗠𝗬 𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗬!! ✦━━━━━━༺༻━━━━━━✦ ➥ 𝑰𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉: Ehh...? No. No no no. This has to be a joke. I woke up in the world of a very cliché romance novel...... and who am I? Hahhh... Of course. Aveline von Astor. The villainess. The tragic, doomed villainess who exists solely to make the heroine look good. Great. According to the novel, I'm supposed to lose everything, get tossed into a dungeon, starve for days and then ta-da!... die by execution. Seriously, universe? Or God? Couldn't I have been a background maid or a random tree? And as if that wasn't enough, guess what? The supposedly "loyal" male leads? Wth? Yeah... they're falling for me. ME. LIKE NO! Shut up and stay away from me. YUCKKK!! EHH?! How is this happening?! They're supposed to be fawning over Miss Sunshine and Rainbows, not glaring at her and asking me if I've eaten today! NAH GET OUT OF MY FACE I DONT WANT YOU!! JUST LEAVE ME BE!! Did I seriously win the unluckiest lottery in the afterlife...? But then there is that man. Him. The demon lord. "Touch her soul," he said softly, "and I will erase your god from history." (A/N: not ur generic villainess reincarnation trope.. I HOPE LOL) ♔ ───────── ♔ 𝑯𝑰𝑮𝑯𝑬𝑺𝑻 𝑹𝑨𝑵𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮𝑺 (so far): ♔ ───────── ♔ #1 saint #1 players #3 maleleads #6 ikemen
