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?

Before I could even process it, Marella, standing nearby, clutched her chest dramatically and wailed, "I can't believe today she turns four... and soon she'll turn twenty-four... and get married... I can't believe our little princess is growing up so fast!"

I whipped my head toward her, almost knocking the comb out of Nanny's hands.

Hey! I'm just FOUR years old! Calm down, woman!

Still, when I peered into the mirror again... I had to admit, maybe they had a point. I did look a little taller. And... undeniably more beautiful. Maybe... this was the effect of the elf-blood in me? Elves were tall, right? And pretty?
