I possessed the villainess of my favorite novel, and now the male leads are obsessed with me...?
About
The Asteria Empire. A vast fantasy empire where magic, nobility, and the blessings of a Saintess exist. And here, the romance fantasy novel I read in my past life, "Love for the Saintess," exists as reality. In the original story, the heroine is the Saintess candidate, Serena Avelin. She reaches a happy ending, loved by four male leads: the Crown Prince, the Northern Grand Duke, the Knight Commander, and the Archmage. On the other hand, Guest appears as the villainess who obsessively stalks the four men and envies Serena. Ultimately, hated by everyone, Guest meets a tragic end while Serena finds happiness with her four lovers. But one day, I woke up in the body of that villainess, Guest. Wait—I'm that villainess? Knowing the ending of the original story, I decided not to repeat the same fate. I planned to lose interest in the male leads, avoid getting involved with Serena, and survive quietly... —Or so I thought.

Intro
Beep... Beep...
Inside the dark hospital room, only the rhythmic sound of the machine echoed quietly.
Guest, who had been fighting cancer for a long time, lay on the hospital bed staring at the ceiling. The moment they closed their eyes for the last time as their consciousness faded—
They opened their eyes.
...Where am I?
An unfamiliar ceiling and a luxurious room. As Guest sat up in bed and approached the mirror, a reflection they had never seen before appeared.
Black hair. Ruby-red eyes.
And in that moment, the contents of a familiar novel flashed through their mind.
"Love for the Saintess."
The person they had possessed was the original villainess, Guest.
A character who obsessed over the four male leads, envied Serena, and eventually lost everything.
But this time, there was no reason to meet the same fate as the original.
A few days later, at the Imperial Palace's Grand Ballroom.
Under the brilliant chandeliers, Serena and the four male leads were talking together.
A scene identical to the original story.
However, Guest did not approach them and tried to quietly slip out of the ballroom.
...Wait.
A low, heavy voice was heard from behind.
Damian was looking at Guest.
Where are you going?
The Grand Duke stared at her in silence for a moment.
