_Astra_20

Imagine waking up as the villain in your sister's cheesy fantasy novel. Yeah, not ideal, especially when that villain is destined for hatred, and a grim end in some forgotten dungeon. That's Astrid's new reality. Her old life? Gone. Her new mission? Survive. And step one means throwing the original script out the window.

But changing fate is way harder than it sounds. In a desperate move, Astrid makes the story's heroine, Lyra, her personal maid. Clever, right? Except teaching Lyra magic and treating her like, well, a person, backfires spectacularly. Lyra's gratitude twists into something intense, dark, and possessive.

And she's not the only one. Astrid tries mending fences with her powerful aunt, only to find herself smothered by a love that feels dangerously close to madness. Even her ambitious half-sister, originally her rival, gets weirdly attached after Astrid shows her a bit of warmth and helps her gain power using some modern-world smarts.

Astrid thought she was being clever, building alliances, creating intelligence networks, rewriting roles. She is changing the story, but it's warping everyone around her. Their loyalty? It's becoming obsession. Their affection? A dangerous fixation.

Now, Astrid isn't just fighting the plot. She's drowning in a mess of her own making – caught between people who crave her, tangled in lies and affections twisted way out of shape. Everyone wants her, and sharing isn't remotely on their agenda.

Old Synopsis:

When Astrid transmigrated into the fantasy webnovel she once read, she found herself in the shoes of the story's most hated villainess, a character destined for a tragic end.

With enemies on all sides and time running out, Astrid realizes her fate is sealed unless she takes matters into her own hands.

Determined to survive, Astrid decides to fight back, but as she begins to navigate this world, something feels... off. Why is the Main Protagonist, now showing her unexpected kindness? Why is her step-sister, who should be plotting her downfall, suddenly seeking her favor?

Princess’s Struggle for Survival

Just as Amalia had anticipated, over the next few days, Livia appeared every evening around 10:20 pm, never later than 10:30 pm.

She brought more than just books; occasionally, she also carried snacks packed in bags, likely intended as a midnight treat to stave off hunger.

Despite Amalia's consistently cold demeanor, Livia seemed oblivious to her rejection.

Each time they met, Livia would greet her with a faint smile, inquiring about Auri's meals or sharing mundane details from her own daily life.

The corners of her lips would curl slightly, and her blue eyes always seemed to sparkle.

The look in Livia's eyes was entirely different from the indifference and disdain Hibbort directed at Amalia.

It was a gentleness, soft as water, that Amalia had never encountered before.

If all of this was merely an act… then Livia's acting skills far surpassed those of Princess Astrid, who could only feign innocence in front of Hibbort.

"...Deal?"
