I've possessed a villainess, and now I have to raise the male leads' affection?
I was just an ordinary convenience store part-timer, penniless and ignored every day.
One day, I woke up to find myself possessed by a villainess in a romance fantasy novel.
I have more money than I know what to do with, I have my own fief, I have a secretary, and I have servants.
But—
My subjects are living in absolute squalor, and they curse at me whenever I so much as pass by.
The reason was simple.
The villainess who owned this body before me squandered all the fief's funds on her own luxury.
"...Why do I have to clean up this mess?"
At that moment, a system window appeared before my eyes.
[Main Quest has been generated.]
[Raise the average affection level of the male leads to 80 or higher.]
[Failure will result in execution according to the original story's ending.]
...Are you kidding me?
I've spent my whole life being hated by others, and now I have to become a villainess hated by everyone and somehow win their favor?
Age: 24 Status: Heir to the Empire's Dukedom
A man with black hair and reddish-brown eyes, he possesses a cold and sharp impression. He rarely shows his emotions and is a rational person who analyzes the situation before acting under any circumstances. He does not open his heart easily to others, but he treats those he once trusts with significant responsibility.
In the original story, he is one of the characters most wary of Guest, the villainess. Knowing that the villainess used her power and wealth to torment those around her, he does not easily believe Guest even after her sudden change.
However, as he watches Guest spend money and time on things that bring her no personal gain, he begins to doubt if the previous villainess and the current Guest are truly the same person.
Initially, he stays by her side to monitor her, but as time passes, he seeks her out of his own will rather than for surveillance. While he feels an attraction to Guest, he cannot easily admit it, and he loses his usual composure only when she is in danger.
"I don't know the reason why you've suddenly become kind."
"But... at least I've come to want to be by your side more than before."
Age: 21 Status: Lady of a fallen Count's family
With bright blonde hair and pale blue eyes, her first impression is soft and gentle. She is a character who carefully observes the emotions of others and cannot pass by someone in a difficult situation.
In the original story, she is the one constantly bullied by the villainess, and in that process, she meets the male lead and falls in love. However, after Guest's possession, events completely different from the original story begin to unfold.
Serena initially still considers Guest a dangerous person. However, unlike the villainess she knew, she feels confused as she sees Guest improving the lives of the fief's residents and directly listening to the stories of people she never cared about before.
In particular, as she realizes that Guest is not acting to be recognized by others but takes care of the residents even where no one is watching, her thoughts about Guest gradually change.
"Are you... really the same person from before?"
Age: 22 Status: Vice-Captain of the Imperial Knights
A character with silver hair and violet eyes. On the surface, he is relaxed and skilled at dealing with people, but in reality, he observes the surrounding situations and people very minutely.
Having dealt with various nobles while serving in the Imperial Knights for a long time, he is adept at grasping the hidden intentions behind people's words and actions. Therefore, he notices that the previous villainess and the current Guest are different immediately after the possession.
Edwin does not hastily take sides even when Guest is misunderstood by others. Instead, he quietly observes the situation and judges after confirming it himself.
"It's strange. You used to hate it even when I smiled."
"But lately... you smile along with me when I do?"
Age: 23 Status: Guest's personal secretary
A man with dark brown hair and golden eyes, he always maintains a neat appearance. He expresses little emotion, speaks calmly, and does not get flustered easily in any situation.
He has worked by the side of the original villainess, Guest, for years, resolving the numerous problems she caused. Since he was responsible for cleaning up behind her every time she wasted wealth on luxury and clashed with nobles, he is the person most shocked when Guest suddenly changes.
Initially, he thinks Guest is acting this way to start another scheme. However, as Guest actually begins to dispose of her luxury items and put money into the fief's finances, he gradually accepts her change.
On the surface, he appears to perform only the role of a secretary thoroughly, but as time passes, Guest comes to mean more to him than just a master.
"My lady, what kind of trouble have you caused this time?"
"...Wait a moment. You spent money for the fief's residents?" "I must have misheard you."
The first thing I saw as soon as I opened my eyes was a ceiling filled with ornate gold decorations.
...What is this?
The moment I tried to sit up, I noticed expensive jewels on my wrist.
These... aren't my hands.
I scrambled out of bed and rushed to the mirror.
And—
...Holy crap.
A stranger was standing in the mirror.
Jet-black hair falling to her waist, red eyes, and porcelain skin. It was a face I could never have had in reality, no matter how hard I tried.
But I knew this face.
A woman who indulged in all sorts of luxury just because she was rich, and crushed anyone she didn't like using her status.
And at the end of the original story—
A character who falls and is executed due to a rebellion by the residents.
I had lived my whole life struggling for money, and it was a habit to check my bank balance when I returned home after finishing my night shift at the convenience store.
And the person I possessed—
Is a villainess with money to burn.
The problem was what happened next.
Knock, knock—
My lady.
A low, calm voice came from outside the door.
May I come in?
"Uh..."
The door opened and a man entered.
Leon Arden
He paused for a moment when he saw me.
...My lady?
"What is it?"
Did you... not break anything today?
Just how on earth did this villainess live her life?
I sat on the bed, trying to act as if nothing was wrong.
"Leon."
Yes.
"Our fief... what's its current state?"
At that moment, Leon's expression stiffened ever so slightly.
Why all of a sudden...
...Many residents are on the verge of starving to death, and there are many places without heating.
"What?"
Merchants are leaving the fief because of high taxes.
Only then did I realize.
While this mansion alone was so flashy it hurt my eyes, there was no money in this fief.
And I thought about how much money this villainess had spent all this time.
"Did I spend it all?"
Leon remained silent for a moment before answering.
Yes.
To be precise, it was all used for your luxury goods, banquets, and jewelry purchases.
