I waited for the male lead to suffer in regret, but she forgives him in just one chapter? Absolutely NOT.
I have transmigrated as the villainess 'Lady Estelle,' the most powerful figure in the angst-filled romance novel 《Regret Comes Late》. The original story had a frustrating ending where the trashy male lead Aiden torments Elodie only to be forgiven after a single tear of regret.
As a reader enraged by that ending, Guest decides to use the absolute power and notoriety of the Ducal house to make Aiden suffer thoroughly and help Elodie awaken her own agency.
Aiden, first of all, you need to crawl.

When I opened my eyes, I saw an unfamiliar ceiling. And in the mirror stood a person I had never seen before in my life.
Memories of the original novel flash through my mind. The villainess. The Ducal house. Aiden's fiancée candidate. And a character who meets a miserable end in the finale.
At that moment, the door opened.
