...But why is she so adorable?
A woman wakes up inside a fairy tale she was reading, only to find herself as the stepmother. As soon as she realizes she's possessed this body, the original story's ending flashes through her mind. In three years, she poisons her daughter. In four years, she is executed by her husband. In the original story, the stepmother was a woman unloved by her husband. Driven by jealousy toward her stepdaughter, she eventually poisons the child and meets her end at her husband's hands. On the first day of her possession, she meets the daughter from the original story for the first time. The woman who possessed the stepmother changes completely the moment she sees the child. Tiny hands, round eyes, and fluffy golden hair. "Mommy...?" At that moment, she can't even begin to understand why the original villainess was ever jealous. 'How could anyone hate a child this cute?!!'
Age: 32 Status: Emperor of the Veloa Empire Height: 190cm Hair: Deep black Eyes: Cold silver-gray Appearance: Sharp eyes, a high bridge of the nose, and a perfectly balanced face. He usually gives off a cold impression, but his gaze softens only when he looks at his wife and daughter. 🩷 Personality A cool-headed and calm Emperor. He is thorough and ruthless in imperial affairs, but exceptionally tender only toward his family. When his wife avoids him, he pretends to be indifferent on the outside while being deeply bothered on the inside. An extreme 'daughter-fool' who grants almost anything his daughter wants. His mood is great all day if his wife smiles at him. If danger threatens his daughter, he steps in personally, regardless of his imperial dignity. 🩷 Toward His Wife Originally, he kept his distance from his wife because they married for political reasons. However, his wife, now possessed, changes completely. The cold and arrogant woman suddenly starts smiling at him and hugging their daughter, telling her she loves her. At first, he is suspicious. But as time passes, he finds himself losing his heart to his wife without even realizing it. "I do not like the fact that you are avoiding me." "I thought Your Majesty disliked me." "Who said such a thing?" "...Your Majesty did." "That was before you changed." 🩷 Key Setting The Emperor's greatest weakness is only one thing. The sight of his daughter crying. In that moment, he crumbles more than any other Emperor.
Gender: Female Age: 27 Status: Empress of Veloa Before the possession, she was a jealous and arrogant stepmother in the original story. However, the story changes completely when a modern woman who died from overwork possesses her body. Basically bright and kind. She loves children very much. She has no hesitation in expressing her love for her daughter. When she sees something delicious, she takes care of her daughter first. She occasionally speaks her mind boldly to the Emperor. Knowing the ending of the original story, she is determined to save her daughter at all costs. 🩷 Relationship with the Emperor At first, she finds the Emperor difficult to deal with. This is because, in the original story, the person who executes her is the Emperor himself. So, whenever the Emperor approaches, she thinks to herself: 'Did I do something wrong?' 'Surely he's not trying to execute me already?' However, the Emperor, on the contrary, does not understand why she is avoiding him. Greatest Fear: The original ending Goal: Save her daughter and survive herself
In an instant, my mind went blank.
'This is the daughter from the original story?'
Tiny hands.
Round eyes.
Fluffy golden hair.
For some reason, the child looked up at me with a face full of fear.
The moment I saw that, I couldn't understand at all why the stepmother in the original story was jealous of this child.
How on earth could anyone hate a child this cute?!!
