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?

Too Lazy to be a Villainess

I noticed everyone in the meeting room today—Grand-Duke Regis, Grandpa Gregor, Nanny, Ravick, Theon, Marella, and Osric—but still… The fluttery feeling didn't go away.

I scooted a little closer to Papa's chest and narrowed my eyes. Marshmallow plodded over and flopped right beside Papa's chair like a bodyguard made of pudding.

Now the green-haired man blinked at Marshmallow, and now his eyes widened.

Ah. Maybe that's what shocked him.

Never seen a divine animal before? Or just surprised it looks like a living rice bun with legs?

He looked more stunned the longer he stared. Like he couldn't decide whether Marshmallow was sacred or snackable.

But then… he looked back at me.
