NO SMUT.

My name is Michelle, and I was murdered by the two people I trusted most—my fiance and my stepsister.
Sickly, powerless, and foolishly kind, I couldn’t even fight back as they took everything from me.
As I lay dying, regret was the only thing I had left. I thought of all the stories I once loved—tales where villainesses lived boldly, took what they wanted, and never begged for love that would only betray them.
For the first time, I wished I could be like them.
Then a voice answered.
[Congratulations, host. You’ve been chosen for the Villainess System.]
When I opened my eyes, I was no longer the girl who died.
I had transmigrated into the body of Seraphina Helene Valemont—a woman feared, powerful, and destined to fall—in a world of magic and nobility.
Armed with a mysterious system that rewards ruthlessness, punishes weakness, and pushes me toward becoming something far darker, I now stand among scheming nobles, manipulative royals, and enemies who hide behind perfect smiles.
But this time, things will be different.
Love? Trust? Mercy?
I already died for those once.
This time, I will be ruthless.
This time, I will survive.
And if this world insists on casting me as the villainess—
Then I will become the most unforgettable one it has ever seen.
After all… this is exactly what I wished for.

By the afternoon of the next day, the capital center was practically overflowing with people for the launch of the Arcanet Crystal. Elias and I arrived in the official royal carriage, its polished wood and gold royal crests shining under the clear sky.
