"Luck and gifts you will have it all.
Everything you desire and put your mind on.
But that one craving, you will never own.
As fate and the gods will collude to derail your goal."

Lyrica was ecstatic when she found out that after finishing a reverse harem royal romance novel, she woke up in the body of her favorite character who shares the same name as her! Even more so when she met face to face with her adored (bias) character--the attractive General Calais Parcell!

However, soon, she finds out that every human in the new world hates her even without a valid reason! Not one, not even her own parents and siblings!

Being loved and well-liked by everyone in her previous life, watch her struggle in this new world where everyone hates and wants to kill her!


Snippets:
“You should be ashamed of yourself, Calais! Have you ever... Have you ever taken a look inside of you and wondered what kind of person you are?!”

“No, Lyrica. I can see how you look at me, and I know that I am not that bad after all.”

"But all I see is a charming mask! And no matter how beguiling that lovely mask looks, once you take that off, inside, you are still what you are, someone hollow and empty, with no principles other than what other people project on you!"

The Hundred Years Villainess

I continue the melody, my voice steady despite the lump forming in my throat. Soldiers from both sides are staring at us — at me, a fallen noble cradling the head of a dead warlock in her lap and singing a lullaby to the King of Monsters who has become her lover.

"Forgive and forget," I sing as I stroke Gavin's hair. "This fate we detest. From cradle to grave, our lives are a test."

Eliana approaches us slowly. Her face is drawn and pale. She kneels beside me, and despite myself, her presence is comforting, a familiar tether in a world that's spinning out of control. Maybe because she is the Heroine of this story, whereas I am the Villainess.

Calais watches from afar, his face unreadable, but his eyes reflect worry. Is he afraid I will hurt Eliana when she is this defenseless and close?

"Lyrica," Eliana's voice is filled with an apology. "I'm sorry. I wasn't able to arrive earlier."
