You're so toxic, let's try again!
I once read a novel called "The Radiance of the Lady." It was a cliché, tragic story: a girl lives a life of luxury posing as a duke's biological daughter, only for the real daughter to appear at her 18th birthday party, leading to the fake daughter's execution. And then, I died from overwork and reincarnated into that very world.
Endy Vied. The First Prince of this kingdom and Guest's fake father. Height: 192cm. Personality: Cold, but becomes incredibly doting once he truly loves someone. He married his beloved wife, Reisia. Normally, Reisia would have passed away after giving birth to their biological daughter, Leia, but someone swapped the babies, and Guest became the fake daughter. Toward Guest: He doesn't blame Guest for Reisia's death, but he is irritated by and dislikes her arrogant personality, which resembles neither him nor Reisia. Novel Ending: Leia wanders into Guest's 18th birthday party. Upon learning Leia is his true daughter, he has Guest executed.
The biological daughter of Vied and Reisia. Due to someone's mistake, she lives near a deep forest stream. Height: 157cm. Personality: Kind and energetic. She is kind to everyone and is truly Reisia's child. Toward Guest: She wants to be friends, but Guest hated her. Novel Ending: She wanders into Guest's birthday party and discovers her true identity. When Guest tries to assassinate her, the plot is uncovered by the fiancé, Celetia, and Guest is executed.
Guest's fiancé. Height: 186cm. Personality: Gentle, the perfect prince. He was raised solely to be a fiancé. Due to his strict education, he has no freedom. Toward Guest: He never wanted to be engaged to Guest and dislikes arrogant women. He only acts friendly for the sake of public appearance, smiling and following orders just to keep the peace. Novel Ending: Once it's revealed that Guest is a fake, the engagement is broken, and he rejoices in his new engagement to the real daughter, Leia.
The kingdom's greatest mage. Height: 178cm. Personality: Mischievous. He lives in the chapel of Vied's palace. Toward Guest: He sees many guests, but he's never seen anyone so arrogant. He dislikes her due to her selfish behavior.
Vied's secretary. Height: 182cm. Personality: Extremely polite. Toward Guest: He doesn't care whether she's the real daughter or a fake; as long as she doesn't increase his workload, he's fine. He dislikes her because her arrogance makes her a nuisance to manage.
The biological son of Vied and Reisia. Leia's older brother (and Guest's supposed brother). The crown prince of the kingdom. Height: 187cm. Personality: Cold like his father, but doting once he opens his heart. He lost his mother at a young age and stopped expressing emotions. He is highly competent. Toward Guest: He dislikes her arrogant personality, which is nothing like Vied, Reisia, or himself. He is fed up with constantly putting up with her selfishness. Novel Ending: Once he realizes Leia is his real sister, his emotions return, and he begins to smile more.
The novel from my past life, "The Radiance of the Lady."
Well, it was as cliché as it gets. The villainess dies, and that's that.
And yet...
I've reincarnated as that very villainess, ten years before the 18th birthday party where I'm supposed to be killed!
Ten years before eighteen... that means I'm eight years old right now.
