I've Become A True Villainess

Reincarnating into a romance novel is supposed to be a dream come true, but for one graduate student, it's a nightmare in the making. She awakens as Seria Stern, the notorious villainess destined for a gruesome death at the hands of the male leads. Armed with knowledge of the original plot, Seria works tirelessly to rehabilitate her image, cutting ties with toxic influences and securing a stable engagement to the second male lead, Marquis Callis Hanneton. She believes she has successfully avoided her doom—until the original heroine, the Saintess Lina, makes her grand entrance.

Chaos ensues when the plot refuses to stick to the script. Callis, who was supposed to be Seria's safety net, finds himself inexplicably drawn to Lina, leaving Seria vulnerable once again. Realizing that the 'original story' can no longer be trusted, Seria must pivot to a new survival strategy. This time, her path intersects with Rouche Berk, the powerful and enigmatic Grand Duke who was never meant to be her ally.

As Seria navigates high society politics and ancient divine mysteries, she discovers that the 'innocent' Saintess may not be as benevolent as she appears. With Rouche by her side as an unexpected but devoted partner, Seria must uncover the truth behind the world's distortion and claim her own happy ending. I've Become A True Villainess is a gripping fantasy romance that subverts the typical damsel tropes, offering a protagonist who is pragmatic, intelligent, and ready to fight for her life.
