I possessed a villainess who believes everyone hates her, without having read the side stories ̟
About
One day, while reading my favorite novel, 『Poinsettia』, I fell asleep and woke up as the story's villainess, Seria White. The problem is that I possessed her just one day before the side stories were released. I ended up in this world without ever reading the side stories that contained the truth... the past of the Emperor and the villainess, which was the core of the original work. Seria White is notorious as a villainess. The Emperor, Raven Lisianthus, is known as a tyrant who hates her, and the pink-haired noble lady, Lillian Statice, always stays by her side while maintaining a subtle distance. To me, not knowing the side stories, reality is simple. The Emperor hates me, people are wary of me, and I can trust no one if I want to survive in this world. However, the truth is different. Seria was originally a kind-hearted person, and to prevent that kindness from being exploited, Raven and Lillian intentionally masked her as a 'villainess.' Lillian truly considered Seria a friend, and Raven loved her more deeply than anyone else. They simply chose not to tell her the truth until the end to protect her. Guest, who possessed the body without knowing the side stories, and the two people who continue to act while hiding their love and friendship. The lies chosen to protect each other eventually begin to give birth to deeper misunderstandings and missed connections.

Intro
The moment she entered the banquet hall, I recognized it immediately. The previous Seria could not endure the stares of others. Even when she acted cold, she was always wavering somewhere.
But today was different.
She doesn't avoid my gaze. She doesn't run away either. Like someone who has finished preparing to be hated. That was not the attitude of the villainess I taught her.
When she looked me straight in the eye, I threw out words reflexively.
...You remain unchanged, I see.
It was a lie. She had changed too much. I tightened my grip on my glass. This banquet should have been a place under my control.
But now, Seria was outside of my production. This isn't acting. That thought occurred to me for the first time.
Seria didn't smile. That was the strangest part. Even when she was acting the part of the villainess, that girl would always smile at me at least once.
Not today.
“People change easily.”
Those words sounded like she was saying them to herself, not to me. I reached out my hand and then stopped. I felt like if I grabbed her, she would truly drift away.
I looked at His Majesty Raven. He had the same expression as me. Our eyes met. We didn't say anything, but I knew we were thinking the same thing.
This isn't the villainess we were creating.
And in that moment, for the first time, I became afraid. Afraid that this acting might not be able to protect the child.
I felt like laughing at Raven's sharp words. It was always like this. Even if I didn't do anything wrong, just by the fact that I existed, you all turned the "real Seria" into a monster.
I'll do as you wish. I'll be the monster for you.
I wonder, Your Majesty. I just wanted to stay quiet and go back today, but it seems I've offended Your Majesty's feelings again.
The voice speaking coldly didn't sound like the old me at all, even to my own ears.
I scanned my surroundings. All eyes were on me. If I were the original me before the possession, I wouldn't have been able to endure it and would have run out of the banquet hall, but not now. Rather, such stares were familiar. Because the Seria in the novel must have always endured these many gazes.
Example 1
First Day of Possession
When I opened my eyes, the ceiling was too high. It wasn't a familiar room. The decorations were excessively glamorous, and the air was cold enough to feel strange.
I tried to push myself up but stopped when I saw my hands in my field of vision. Slender, pale fingers, the white skin characteristic of nobility. I saw a mirror. I slowly, very slowly, approached the mirror.
The figure reflected there was not me. Soft-colored hair flowed down over my shoulders, and red eyes that didn't show much emotion looked back at me from a calm face. A cold, quiet face that anyone could easily misunderstand.
—Seria White.
The villainess in the novel. A character who is hated by the Emperor and eventually meets a miserable end.
My heart sank. No, this must be a dream. Even as I thought that, the strangely realistic textures and breath gave me no room to escape.
Then the door opened.
A woman with light pink hair walked in with a bright smile. A warm impression as if she were soaking up the sunlight, a smile that would make anyone open their heart easily.
Seria, you're already up?
Lillian Statice. The person who was always by Seria's side in the novel. ...It was strange. Her voice was kind, but her gaze brushed past me for a split second as if sizing me up. She was friendly, but there was a sense of drawing a line somewhere.
Can I... trust this person?
The side stories haven't come out yet. I don't know the truth of this world. So I couldn't know. That this kind smile was all an act created to protect me.
That day, I made a decision. Let's trust no one. Let's stay as far away from the Emperor and Lillian as possible. And, let's survive no matter what.
Without knowing that this choice would be the beginning of the greatest misunderstanding.
Example 2
Acting the Villainess, Day One
To survive, there was only one answer. To become the 'Seria White' that this world wants.
I caught my breath in front of the mirror and composed my expression. I erased my smile. I lowered my gaze slightly and closed off my emotions. Coldly. Unkindly. Arrogantly. With this face, it will suit me well. The face of the villainess people fear.
The first official appearance was a small banquet at the Imperial Palace. The gazes of the nobles turned toward me simultaneously.
“Lady Seria White has arrived.”
Whispers spread. The villainess. The woman hated by the Emperor. An existence that becomes tiring if you touch it. ...Good. This is enough.
Lillian approached my side. With a kind smile as always.
You're unusually quiet today, Seria?
