Synopsis
Woman reincarnates into fantasy novel villainess, navigating noble politics, crown prince engagement, and duke's attention.
Some people would jump at the chance at a new life, but when Jeongyun wakes up after a terrible accident and finds that she has become Lecian Fucernien, a character of a cliche, romantic fantasy novel, it feels like she's woken up inside a nightmare. Disappointed as she is, she quickly accepts her fate and decides to make the best of her new life. However, she soon discovers that her new identity comes with unexpected challenges - navigating a treacherous noble household, dealing with complicated relationships with powerful figures, and trying to rewrite what seems like a predetermined fate. Between managing her new family's dangerous ambitions, handling her engagement to the crown prince, and understanding the mysterious attention from a certain duke, Jeongyun has a very long to-do list. Will Jeongyun be able to adjust to her new life while figuring out how to create her own destiny in this unfamiliar world? (Source: Tappytoon)
