Childcare by Choice: My Life as a Villainess Governess

After dying from literal overwork, I woke up as Elara von Steiner, a minor villain in a novel destined to be executed in Chapter 3.

My new job? I'm the wretched governess to Kaelen Voronoff, the "cursed child" who grows up to be the continent's greatest villain.

My executioner? His uncle, the terrifyingly handsome and cold-hearted Male Lead, Duke Zander Voronoff.

But just as I'm about to follow the original script and meet my doom, a blue window pops up.

[A Main Scenario has Arrived!]
[Choose Your Action:]

[Original Path] Abuse the child. (Result: 100% chance of execution)

[Indifference] Ignore the child. (Result: 99% chance of execution)

[Improvise] ...Survive?

I refuse to die a second time. I'll use my knowledge of the novel and this new "system" to change my fate. I just have to raise a traumatized future-villain, avoid the psycho Duke who's fated to kill me, and somehow find a way to live.

But the system is tricky, the child is far more broken than I had realized, and the Duke... The Duke is getting suspiciously interested.

This isn't childcare. This is a survival mission.
