The black Rose

Ruby Mackenzie had always been calm, quiet, and difficult to read. Her classmates in the real world often described her as sharp, observant, and oddly detached. She didn't cry at sad movies. She didn't squeal at cute things. She studied hard, walked alone, and mostly kept to herself.

But when she discovered the otome game Crimson Embrace, something strange happened.

She wasn't drawn to the charming princes, the dreamy love interests, or even the sweet, cheerful heroine. No, what captivated her was the villainess-the tragic noble girl named Ruby Mackenzie.

They shared the same name. The same long, wavy black hair. The same dark eyes. Even the same cold temperament. It was eerie, but Ruby brushed it off as coincidence. Still, she played the game obsessively. She wanted to know what would happen to the villainess-to herself.

But as the story unfolded, the villainess grew crueler, more desperate, pushed into schemes she never wanted. Her ending came swiftly: betrayal, heartbreak, and a brutal death, all while the world applauded her downfall.

Ruby quit the game. She couldn't take it. It felt too personal.

She thought it was over.

Until she woke up in a different world.

Not reincarnated into someone else. Not as a side character. But as herself-as the villainess. Not just someone who shared her face and name, but the same person.

Somehow, the world of Crimson Embrace wasn't just a game. It was her story. Her memories. Her fate. And the curse that ran through the veins of the Mackenzie Dukedom-the one that dulled emotions and chilled the heart-was real.

She was ten years old again. Alone. The daughter of the Second Duke in the Kingdom. Feared. Isolated. Burdened with an ancestral curse that made her cold and distant, even when she desperately wanted to feel.

She remembered everything. The real world. The game. The story that would kill her.

Not this time.

She began to prepare. To survive
