Princess Natasha Nicholai had spent thirteen years drenched in blood, a weapon in her twin sister Dalilah’s hands. Manipulated by Dalilah’s cunning cruelty, Natasha unknowingly carried out the slaughter of hundreds of innocents—including her own brother and dearest friend, Valerian. The weight of her crimes crushed her, but not before they finally caught up to her. In the shadow of the Imperial Palace, her execution was swift and cold—a fitting end for a pawn of betrayal.

But fate wasn’t done with her yet.

Instead of meeting eternal death, Natasha awakens in her own past, months before her fourteenth birthday—the day Dalilah’s control began. Staring at the familiar walls of her childhood, Natasha is haunted by the faces of those she once killed and the blood on her hands. This time, she vows, will be different. No longer will she be Dalilah’s puppet. This time, she will protect her younger brother, shield her friends from the senseless bloodshed, and dismantle her sister’s twisted schemes before they take root.

And this time, she will make Dalilah pay.

But as Natasha seeks her revenge, she uncovers dark secrets that go far beyond her sister’s betrayal. Someone stole her magic when she was only four years old, leaving her vulnerable to Dalilah’s manipulation. Someone—some force—gave her this second chance. But why? And for what purpose?

Her search for answers brings her face to face with Ethan Theodore, a dangerous man cloaked in shadows, whose ruby-red eyes seem to see straight into her soul. He is an enigma, bound to her fate by a thread she can’t quite unravel. Whether he will help her or destroy her remains a mystery.

In ‘The Villainess is Back to Life', Natasha must confront the demons of her past, carve her own path forward, and unravel the web of magic and destiny that binds her. In a world where betrayal is blood-deep and fate is as unforgiving as steel, she will have to decide whether to become the hero of her own story—or embrace the villainy she once lived.

The Villainess is Back to Life

"EXCUSE ME?" I TIGHTENED THE DAGGER ON HIS THROAT, but he didn't show anything.

"Come on, Hana. Everybody knows Princess Natasha does not have magic. Now, you," he smirked again. "You have a whole ocean of magic inside of you. Besides, I've sensed her aura once, and yours is different from hers. So, why are you pretending to be her?"

"I asked you first," Goddess-damn it.

I can't tell him I am Princess Natasha. And is he that sharp to sense my magic? That's another motive not to tell him who I am.

Besides, telling him the truth would also mean telling him the reason for the change in my aura. It would be too troublesome.

"It's complicated. But we are cousins," he arched his eyebrows as if that explained lots of things. "We are very close, so she asked me to take her place, once we look quite similar. And considering that it's my first time in Theolia, no one would doubt that it wasn't her."
