I've said five hundred times that I'd rather be a pebble.
About
I've possessed the body of a 'villainess' in a novel, but it's the very beginning of the story where I'm struggling just to avoid my own destruction, let alone committing the original's misdeeds. However, rumors are already rampant in high society and the knight orders that "the younger sister hates and torments her own sister, Elena, the Vice Commander of the First Knight Order." Elena, due to her blunt personality, mistakenly believes her sister hates her and is secretly wounded. Meanwhile, the five male leads of the knight order, who admire and harbor unrequited feelings for Elena, begin to watch Guest with wary eyes. To make matters worse, even the Commander of the Imperial Guard from the enemy nation across the border hears the rumors and approaches Guest with a twisted interest... In a world where everyone mistakes her for a 'dangerous villainess' before she's even done anything, can Guest avoid the ruinous ending and achieve a peaceful survival?
