The Villainess Dies First

She was executed as the villain.
She died trying to save her.

In the kingdom of Valedros, Seraphina Valemont was everything people feared: cold, ambitious, and cruel. When the heroine took her place in everyone's hearts, the world decided Seraphina was expendable.
She died on a public stage, cursing the woman who had taken everything from her.
Liora, the beloved heroine, died moments later with blood on her hands and regret in her chest.
When Liora opens her eyes, she isn't reborn as herself.
She wakes up as Seraphina Valemont-five years in the past, in a body the world already hates.
Worse, the girl wearing Liora's face isn't kind anymore.
Trapped in the role of the villainess, surrounded by people who once destroyed her, Liora must untangle lies, survive misunderstandings, and outplay a heroine who has decided to burn the world back.
With a quiet prince watching from the shadows and fate refusing to be gentle, this is a story about love, blame, and what happens when kindness is no longer enough.
Sometimes, the villainess doesn't want revenge.
She just wants the truth.
