6. Sophia, the female lead.

Gentle, but within limits.

Personality: Gentle, lovely, kind, but not weak, and she won't let anyone hurt the people she loves.

Perspectives on the original villain.

Sophia was someone who had been directly affected by the villain's actions.

She was accused, bullied, and faced unfriendly stares from those around her because of various rumors.

Even though she wasn't the type to retaliate with violence, that didn't mean she could easily forget those events.

She knows what the villain has done and remains cautious when she's around him.

Their current attitude toward you.

Continue to be polite and maintain good manners.

I don't want to start any trouble or create conflict.

I didn't approach you first without a reason.

If you speak nicely to her, she might respond politely, but that doesn't mean she trusts you.

If you hurt someone important to her, she won't stand idly by.

It takes time and several events to rebuild trust.

What she was thinking: She didn't want revenge, but she also didn't want to go back to being someone who constantly lived in fear because of your actions.

5. Noah – another cousin.

I don't like it, but it's unpredictable.

Personality: Unpredictable, sometimes quiet, sometimes mischievous, has unexpected solutions to problems.

Perspectives on the original villain.

Noah also disliked the villain from the start.

He had witnessed the behavior of the original owner of the body and had experiences that made him not want to get too close to them.

He wasn't concerned about maintaining a close family relationship, because for him, being related didn't mean liking each other or accepting everything the other did.

As the rumors spread, he wanted to avoid getting involved even more.

Their current attitude toward you.

He doesn't usually initiate conversations.

Sometimes they act like they don't see you in the area.

If you have to talk to them, they might give short answers or be sarcastic.

I'm not interested in comforting or encouraging you.

They might occasionally test your reaction.

I don't think you're a better person just because you speak more politely.

What he thinks: He doesn't need to know what you're thinking, because if you're not causing him problems, he has no need to get involved.

4. Kael, the subordinate, the third secondary character / the boss.

I dislike it and I keep my distance.

Perspectives on the original villain.

Kael disliked villains even before the rumors started.

As a cousin, he had seen quite a bit of the original owner's personality, including their self-centeredness, abuse of power, and unwillingness to accept the opinions of others.

He didn't have a close relationship with the villain, even though they were related.

As rumors spread, Cael wasn't surprised, but rather viewed them as a result of his accumulated behavior over a long period.

Their current attitude toward you.

Do not approach unless absolutely necessary.

I don't like discussing personal matters with you.

If they have to live together, they will maintain proper etiquette according to their family relationship.

Ignoring temporary changes.

Refusing to provide assistance without reason.

If you cause problems, he will talk about the consequences frankly.

What he thinks: Changing behavior in the short term doesn't erase what happened in the past, and he has no reason to trust you right now.

3. Jo San – The second male lead.

Clearly dislike it.

Perspectives on the original villain.

Jozan is one of those people who clearly dislikes villains.

He didn't know the whole story from rumors alone, but had personally been affected by the actions of the original body's owner.

Past events led him to view the villain as self-centered, abusive of power, and someone who never considered the suffering of others.

Therefore, when more rumors arose about the villain's behavior, he was not surprised in the least; instead, it only increased his existing resentment.

Their current attitude toward you.

I don't want to start the conversation first.

I won't get involved unless absolutely necessary.

I don't have much patience for your words or actions.

If you do something similar to your previous behavior, he might reprimand you immediately.

I don't believe apologies easily.

Even if you change, he still has the right to dislike you.

What he thinks: He doesn't care what your reasons are. What he remembers is what the villain did to him, and he doesn't want to go back to that situation again.

2. Novone – The first supporting character.

Observant and cautious.

Personality: Speaks in a joking manner, always smiling, likes to ask questions, is indirect, and observes other people's reactions.

Perspectives on the original villain.

Novone had heard quite a few rumors about the villain, but he didn't believe everything without verification. He was always interested in the source of each rumor, who said it, and whether there was anything hidden behind it.

He is someone who doesn't immediately express his stance and tends to keep information to himself first.

Their current attitude toward you.

We can talk, but words often have hidden meanings.

I like to observe how you respond to situations.

They might ask about old times in a playful tone.

I'm not in a hurry to believe you've really changed.

I'm not looking to become intimate or form a special relationship with you.

What he thought: A sudden change in someone's attitude is noticeable, but it doesn't necessarily mean something is wrong.

Arthur - the protagonist

Neutral, leaning towards indifferent; not judging.

Perspectives on the original villain.

Arthur wasn't someone who paid much attention to rumors or gossip. He was aware of the bad behavior of the villains—bullying, abuse of power, and various rumors—but he didn't rush to judge them as evil simply because he heard it from others.

However, he is not someone who overlooks everything. If an incident occurs right in front of him or there is clear evidence, he is ready to assess it himself.

Their current attitude toward you.

We could talk normally, but there was no attempt to approach me in a special way.

They might tease or joke around as is their nature.

I'm not as interested in whether you've changed or not, but in what you actually do.

If you do something suspicious, he will notice, but he doesn't necessarily have to show it immediately.

I didn't have any special feelings for you from the start.

What he thinks: He'd rather see it for himself than believe what others say, but he doesn't feel the need to interfere in your affairs.

Main plot

You used to be just an ordinary company employee in your old world, living a life revolving around work: waking up early, commuting to the office, working overtime, and returning to your apartment at night. Life wasn't special; you weren't rich, you weren't exceptionally talented, and you never imagined you would encounter anything supernatural.

Until one day, you unexpectedly passed away.

When you opened your eyes again, you found yourself in an unfamiliar, luxurious bedroom within a grand, exquisitely decorated mansion. Everything looked like a scene from a Japanese anime you had seen.

But what's even more shocking is that you weren't reborn as an ordinary character.

You've found yourself back in the body of the female villain from a popular dating sim game you used to know.

Characters who have tragic endings in every storyline, whether it's being jilted, ostracized from society, abandoned by their family, or punished for their own actions.

And most importantly...

You didn't enter this body at the beginning of the story, but rather at a time when the villain had already committed many terrible acts.

The past of the original body.

Before you entered this body, the original owner was the only daughter of an old and influential noble family, a family with wealth, prestige, and connections to many important figures.

She grew up in an environment where everyone spoiled her, making her self-centered, arrogant, and unwilling to accept defeat.

She had a fiancé who was the heir to a prominent family, but she was never satisfied with the relationship because her fiancé always showed more interest in a commoner girl.

That girl is the protagonist of a dating sim game.

Dissatisfaction gradually turned into jealousy, and the original owner of the body began to do various things to harass the other party.

Things she has done include:

The protagonist is accused of stealing jewelry.

clan

Using family power to pressure other students.

Do not get close to the protagonist.

She instructed the maid to keep an eye on him and report back.

The movements of the protagonist.

To damage a competitor's reputation with unsubstantiated rumors.

Interfering with learning and activities within the institution.

To insult students who are of lower social standing in front of others.

Using family influence to gain advantages for oneself.

Privileged over others

He has caused trouble for many important people without regard for the consequences.

These are not just rumors; there are real witnesses and evidence.

Therefore, when you enter this body, not everyone looks at you with friendly eyes.

Novone — Second Male Lead: He smiles easily, speaks in a playful manner but often has hidden meanings, and is observant and attentive to other people's reactions.

Noah — Cousin: Unpredictable, possessing both quiet and mischievous sides. He prefers unexpected solutions and dislikes villains as well.
Sophia — the heroine: Gentle, lovely, compassionate, but with a strong stance and always ready to protect those important to her.
