Chapter 2

This is a world of swords and magic, a thrilling and fully immersive fantasy.

It's the setting of the溺愛系 (drowning love) romantic novel that I was deeply engrossed in in my previous life.

The story follows a classic plot: a poor baron's daughter, Kukurika, enrolls in a prestigious academy for nobles and eventually becomes a princess, loved by a prince.

The charm of this novel lies in how cute the heroine, Kukurika, is. Her earnest efforts are so touching that they bring tears to your eyes. It's incredibly moving.

Despite her father being a drunkard, she works hard to learn a trade and support him... I can't count how many times I thought, "I'll support Kukurika!"

At the academy, Kukurika meets a princely character and, despite being toyed with, becomes intimate enough to receive a marriage proposal from the prince a year after graduation.

When I realized I had been reincarnated into this world after a tragic accident, I was so overwhelmed with emotion that I danced wildly.

That is, until I learned my name.

My name is Viara Emeri Marcus. I am the daughter of the Duke Marcus family, a beautiful woman with long, soft, pale blue hair.

To be honest, my hair shines like a gem, is lustrous, and beautiful. My eyes are silver, as beautiful as a star sapphire, and of course, they are not colored contacts.

I have large, clear eyes, a straight nose, and naturally red, moist lips. At 16, I have grown into a beauty that turns heads wherever I go.

As a rival character, I have a beauty cheat.

Her beauty is so perfect that you might think it's a CG, but since she's a character from a novel, it's only natural that she is beautiful.

However, her fate is a sad one. My role is that of the villainous lady. From a young age, I am set up as the fiancée of the first prince of this country and am deeply in love with him.

So far, everything has been going according to the novel's plot, except that I don't like the prince. As his fiancée, I am scheduled to enroll in the academy this year.

"There's no hope left."

I can't help but let out a sigh.

In the novel, Viara loses the prince to the heroine as soon as she enrolls in the academy. No matter how much she loves him, no matter how much she cries and clings to him, the prince's heart drifts away.

But the blame lies with her as well. It lies heavily with her.

Driven by jealousy, she bullied the heroine excessively. To sabotage the heroine's growing intimacy with the prince, she went too far.

It's one thing to spread rumors and ostracize her, but hiring men to assault her, poisoning her, and even pushing her off a balcony or a balcony with the intent to kill... Viara, couldn't you have found a better way? Attempted murder is just too much.

In the end, her evil deeds are exposed, and she is condemned. While the prince and the heroine have a happy ending, Viara is dragged before the people and executed by guillotine.

No, that's too cruel.

Do we really need such a brutal ending?

I want to question the author, to confront them.

Moreover, Viara is a complete sacrificial character. A rival, or rather, a model villainous lady!

Seeing the hopelessly bleak end ahead, I don't want to ride this train to hell.

I am determined to get off this train midway.

In the romantic novels and light novels of my previous life, there were many stories where even a villainous lady could find happiness.

It's okay.

Even a new villainous lady can be happy if she tries hard!

After regaining my memories, I dedicated myself to avoiding the death flag.
