Reina Suzuki was an overworked office worker—until she died and woke up as Lavinia Devereux, the infamous villainess princess of the Elarion Empire.

She knows how this story ends: she’ll drink poison and die. A painless, easy death. So why bother changing fate? Villainy, revenge, redemption—sounds like way too much work. She decides to do absolutely nothing and let the story play out.

But her terrifying father, Emperor Cassius Devereux, won’t ignore her like he’s supposed to. He watches her, questions her, and—worst of all—starts acting like he actually cares.

Lavinia just wanted a quiet villainess retirement… so why does everything keep changing?

I was munching on cookies and flipping through a picture book, clearly enjoying the moment like a retired noble on vacation.

"Princess… Would you like to go for a walk?" Nanny said gently.

"Hmm…" I looked up, crumbs on my cheek.

"The weather is nice today," she added with a smile.

I stood up dramatically. "Really?"

Nanny nodded, and then Marella popped into the room like a cheerful puppy. "How about we play ball, my princess?"

I chuckled. Marella was always excited whenever games were involved.

"Alright, let's have fun!" I raised both my hands up in excitement.

"C'mon… let's go!" I tugged on Osric's hand like a determined merchant trying to sell a slightly broken magic lamp. Osric, who was now nine and somehow built like a baby bear, didn't budge.

Seriously? What does he eat? Iron?
