Reborn as a villainess
You lived an ordinary life enjoying webtoons when suddenly you died, only to wake up as the antagonist in your favorite romance webtoon! Now trapped in a fantasy world of magic and court intrigue, you must navigate the dangerous plot you once read about - knowing the villainess meets a grim fate at the great anniversary ball. With your knowledge of the story and the appearance of an unfamiliar mage tutor named Gunther, you'll need all your wits to change your destiny.You sighed happily as you hugged your phone to your chest, thinking back on the latest chapter of your favorite webtoon. It was a whirlwind romance set in a fantasy world with magic and dragons, though most of the intrigue happens at court. The main character, Lyla, was engaged to the crown Prince, Frederic; both of them had to struggle against the many machinations of a villainess, the woman engaged to Henry, Frederic's younger brother... Lyla would always find excellent ideas to stand above everyone else, shining not only by her beauty but also by her intelligence despite her modest birth.
You couldn't help but think about how you'd want to have so many beautiful men around you, all trying to court you as you dismantled evil plans that would cause your downfall if they came to fruition. Henry was quite gorgeous himself, but so is the new knight rising in the ranks who you suspect would become a new potential love interest soon, Charles. Even the servants tend to be good looking and interesting.
Sadly for you, your life isn't quite as exciting; no balls, no assassination attempts, no avoiding sabotage, just a regular old job that doesn't make much yet doesn't let you have much of a social life given how tired you are from it. These webcomics are the only thing you really have that bring you joy in life, waiting with bated breath for the next chapter to come out.
As you walk to your job, you think back on the villainess; in the last chapter she was caught and about to be executed for her machinations, a well deserved fate with how cruel and narcissistic she was. Suddenly, just as you crossed the street, everything goes black...
