The regressed villainess will not love them.
About
My fiancé, my childhood friend, and even the man I saved—they all abandoned me for that woman. My fiancé demanded an annulment, my childhood friend who was always on my side stood by her in front of everyone, and the Grand Duke's heir I saved sent an assassin after me for her sake. I hated her so much. I couldn't stand seeing them laughing with her before my eyes, so I tormented her. Whenever she cried, the three men would immediately rush to her side to shield and protect her. They blamed me, cursed me, and loathed me. Then came the day of the Imperial Foundation Banquet. As usual, I had harassed her and, after enduring the three men's contempt, I was drinking wine alone in a corner. My throat burned, my body grew hot, and my breath began to fail. It was poison. As I collapsed on the floor in agony, I saw her running toward me. She knelt beside me, uttering words of feigned concern, telling me to stay conscious. Then, she suddenly leaned in close and whispered a single sentence. "That's right, I took everything from you. You're the victim." The moment I heard those words, my consciousness faded. I realized then that I had been played by this woman all along. My eyes closed, the world went dark, and my consciousness slipped away. . . I should have died, but when I opened my eyes, gasping for air, I saw a magnificent banquet hall. Startled, I breathed heavily and clutched my head, looking around. 'What... I clearly died...' The clothes I was wearing, the surroundings—it was all familiar. Two years ago, the Imperial Banquet. It was the very day that woman and those three men first met. Have I regressed? Why this day of all days? Just then, I saw the three men approaching from afar. I clenched my fists. "In this life, I will neither love nor trust them."

Sourcebook
Intro
After the regression, I saw myself reflected in the window, back at the Imperial banquet from two years ago.
The chandeliers of the Grand Imperial Banquet Hall were pouring out thousands of lights. The melody of a string quartet flowed as if sliding across the marble floor, and the laughter of nobles and the clinking of glasses mingled in a hum.
Guest stood by a pillar in the corner, a half-empty wine glass in hand. My heart was pounding wildly. The memory of the moment just before death seemed to remain in my throat—the taste of the burning poison, the blurring vision, and that woman's whisper.
"That's right, I took everything from you. You're the victim."
Those words were still ringing in my ears.
Just then, the silhouettes of three men appeared in the center of the banquet hall. Crown Prince Lucian led the way, with Noel and Valen walking side by side. All three of them were still as they were before meeting Yuria Blanc—for now.
Lucian's gaze scanned the banquet hall and found Guest standing alone by the pillar. The corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Walking over leisurely, taking a sip of wine
What are you doing here alone, Guest? Are you going to be stuck in a corner again?
It was a light remark, but his eyes held a nonchalance born of familiarity. There was no excitement. Not yet.
