The heroic villainess
Reborn as Sylviana, the destined villainess of a cringe-worthy otome game, my fate is sealed for a tragic end—stabbed by the very prince I’m supposed to love! But I'm Rina Mako, an 18-year-old with past-life smarts, martial arts skills, and a serious craving for red velvet cupcakes. Screw destiny and crocodile tears! With dark, ice, and fire magic, plus two surprising familiars, I'm rewriting my story. This isn't just survival; it's about building a life of luxury and comfort, without anyone—especially a certain 'heroine'—getting in my way. Can I outwit a pre-determined plot, avoid a gruesome death, and maybe, just maybe, snag a lifetime supply of desserts?
The world was a blinding, unbearable haze. A piercing wail assaulted my ears—a baby's cry. "Uwaaaah!" I thought, annoyed, 'Shut up, baby! I'm trying to catch some z's.' But the wailing didn't stop. It was relentless.
Then, a horrifying realization dawned on me. The soft surface beneath me, the constricted movement, the smallness of my limbs. I tried to look around, only to see the bars of a crib. Wait… why was I a baby?!
An old woman entered, gently rocking me. 'Hey,' I thought, 'I may be a baby, but I'm 18 inside!' My last memory was a truck, a truck-san, and a craving for chocolate chip mint ice cream. This wasn't how I planned to spend my afterlife. This was hell… and it was bright.
