Who would dare hire a chubby girl in the modeling industry? Someone who doesn't meet society's so-called standards of being sexy or pretty.
Chloe Dawn Alcantara is a renowned fashion designer, admired for her elegant and stunning creations made for petite girls. But behind her success lies a secret-no one knows the face behind the brand, as she hides her true identity under the pen name 'CD'. Once, she dreamed of walking the runway herself. But that dream shattered the day her own mother-a former supermodel-looked at her and saw only shame. She called her names: fat, ugly, unworthy.
Now, Chloe stays hidden, pouring her soul into her work, convinced the world would never accept the girl behind the designs.
But everything shifts when she crosses paths with Rafael Dean Villanueva-one of the city's most sought-after bachelors and the powerful CEO of Villanueva Construction, Inc. Through his assistant, he reaches out to Mirra Atelier, Chloe's fashion house, with a request to design a gown for his sister's grand debut.
Will Chloe dare to step out of the shadows and into the spotlight she once dreamed of? Or will she retreat deeper into the shadows she's lived in for so long?

Objection, Your Honor! I'm the Villainess?!
I used to be the undefeated queen of the courtroom-Alexis Reyes, the baddest, sassiest, most feared lawyer sa buong Pilipinas. Walang kaso na hindi ko napanalunan. Until... BAM! I woke up sa isang romantic harem novel. And guess what? Ako yung kontrabida. Oo, ako si Celestine Alcantara-heiress ng Alcantara Medical Empire, mayaman, glam, at certified mean girl. Kalaban ko? Yung so-called mabait at pure-hearted female lead, si Liana Cruz. She's the adoptive daughter of the CEO ng rival hospital chain. Pero teka, bakit ako ang mas relateable? Bakit parang ako yung pinagtutulungan ng universe? To make things worse, and by worse I mean juicy... I'm surrounded by four walking red flags: - A cold but dangerously hot CEO na may hidden soft side. - A smug hotshot lawyer na parang version ko sa OG world. - A charming doctor na mas makinis pa sa baby oil. - At isang sexy celebrity chef na laging may pa-sweet na pagkain... and kilig. They're all supposedly in love with Liana. Pero bakit parang ako ang binibigyan ng screen time ngayon? Plot twist ba 'to o character development? Now I have two choices: follow the script and face my "tragic" ending... or rewrite the story, make them fall for me, and prove na kahit villainess ako, I slay-with or without a gavel. This is not your typical love story. This is my cross-examination with fate. Game ka na ba, Your Honor?
