The Villainess Lives Again — Chapter 42

Talk about a chapter that dropped a bombshell! Readers of The Villainess Lives Again Chapter 42 are mostly united in their collective shock over one major reveal: Cedric's age! Many thought our handsome Duke was in his early twenties, so finding out he's 27 and carries a surprising 9-year age gap with Tia left everyone like 🤯. Some readers are a bit thrown, while others are totally fine with it, citing Tia’s mental age from regression or simply finding their dynamic too cute to care. 🥰

But the true star of reader indignation is the new antagonist, Aubrey! She’s instantly labeled everything from a "scheming bitch" to "Cinderella's step sister," sparking a unified cry of "back off!" from the fandom. Despite her dramatic entrance, readers are confident our clever Tia will easily handle this "simple girl." After all, declaring war against a star strategist like Tia is just asking for trouble! 👋
