Synopsis:
“You’re being tormented? In that case, let me be the one to adore you!!”
I reincarnated as Cynthia, a wicked noblewoman from a dating sim, and now the heroine is trying to steal my fiancé. If she wants him, I’m happy to cut ties and find someone new! Oh my, perhaps the yandere character named Siraiya (the third son of a duke), who’s known for being an evil nobleman himself, would be a better match? Yes, he’s exactly what I’m looking for!
“You’re the one I want to marry!”
Will the villainess’s love save the villainous nobleman? Find out in this reverse Cinderella tale!
Breaking Up Was the Plan, the Duke Falling For the Villainess Was Not!
Story: Kotoko
Illustrations: Ataka
The first volume will be available digitally worldwide on December 31, 2025, and will also be available in paperback at a later date.
Synopsis:
The plan was simple: play the foil, get dumped, live happily ever after. Now? The duke is head over heels for me, the world’s on the brink of war — and I’m going to die.
I was reincarnated into the pages of my favorite romance novel. Not as the bright, beloved heroine, but as the cruel, grasping villainess, a mere stepping stone in the story. My only job is to dump the “Cold-Hearted Duke” so he can meet his true love. Fail, and war breaks out. I die. Nobody gets their happily ever after.
Easy, right?
Except playing a vindictive noblewoman when I’d been an ordinary woman in my past life is harder than it looks. Because if that’s the case, why—at the end of it all—is the duke holding me close, murmuring into my ear, “Grace… I will never, ever let you go”?!
