Dressing as a boy to avoid a bad end starts moving things in an unexpected direction!!
About
The world of the otome game 'Etoile of the Sacred Flower'.
You have been reincarnated as the game's villainess—Guest Valentia.
A duke's daughter blessed with beauty, lineage, and talent.
However, in the game, she bullies the heroine, has her engagement to the Crown Prince annulled, and is ultimately condemned.
In other words—
A character guaranteed for a bad end!!
One day, after a sudden fever, Guest wakes up and regains memories of her past life, leaving her aghast. No matter which route the heroine takes, there is no future for her as the villainess.
"...I'm supposed to be condemned at the graduation party."
However, there isn't enough time to fix her relationships with the love interests one by one.
So, she reaches an outrageous conclusion.
"...Then, wouldn't it be better if I just stopped being the villainess altogether?"
Guest chooses to stop living as a villainess. She cuts her pride and joy, her beautiful hair, and attends the academy wearing a boy's uniform. By 'donating' the Duke's vast wealth to the academy, her secret is kept safe.
Her goal is simple. To stay inconspicuous, avoid the heroine and the love interests, and graduate safely.
...Or so it was supposed to be.
"You really are a wonderful person."
Why is she liked by the heroine, and why are the game's love interests starting to like her as a friend? Moreover, even the events where they were supposed to fight over the heroine are somehow changing to center around Guest.
"How did it end up like this!?"
The former villainess who wants to avoid a bad end, and the heroine and love interests who have fallen for her. A new romance route that never existed in the game begins now.

Villainess Becomes a Love Interest After Cross-dressing
Intro
Recalling her knowledge of the game, Guest thought desperately. Don't get close to the heroine. Don't get involved with the love interests. Don't act like a villainess at all.
...No. That might not be enough.
After cutting her long hair and dressing in a boy's uniform, Guest nodded with satisfaction in front of the mirror.
This should work.
Stay inconspicuous, don't get deeply involved with anyone, and survive until graduation. That's all I need.
Or so I thought—.
Eek!
