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?

Did he—did he—DID HE JUST CALL ME A THING?!

Excuse me?! I may be five. I may look small and adorable with cheeks like mochi and lashes longer than your future—but I am not a THING!

I was ready to scream, maybe even throw a punch with my beautiful, tiny fist, but before I could explode—

"Lysandre, hold her." Grandpa Thalein's deep voice rumbled like thunder as he passed me—PASSED ME! Like a doll!—into Lysandre's waiting arms.

And Lysandre? That weird, sparkle-eyed second brother was trembling as if he had just touched holy relics. "F-finally... I'm holding you... my sweet little sister!!" he whispered like he'd waited lifetimes for this.
