Romantasy meets power fantasy! An astute villainess orchestrates sweet revenge. For fans of May I Ask for One Final Thing?
Unloved and resentful, Remilia spends her childhood growing into the quintessential evil villainess of an RPG otome game. That is, until her body is taken over by a reincarnating RPG player and Remilia fan named Emi! In the back of Emi’s mind, Remilia receives from her respect and affection that she had never experienced, and contrary to her own expectations, she begins to enjoy simply watching her life continue with Emi at the wheel.
However, another reincarnating player soon emerges to shatter this life’s course. Despite thinking she had built a trusting relationship with her fiancé, childhood friend, and even her adopted brother, Emi is accused of attempted homicide and betrayed, with no ally left to turn to.
Despairing, Emi loses consciousness and, in her place, the original villainess Remilia, who had been silently watching over Emi from within, reawakens. “I will never forgive you all.” Remilia vows revenge against those who fractured Emi’s compassion.
The ruthless and spectacular revenge tale of the malicious villainess begins!
