Reincarnated as a Minor Villainess

Reincarnated as a Minor Villainess

I've reincarnated as a minor villain. Specifically, as the Grand Duchess who is used by the Crown Prince and killed by her husband. <In the Fading Light> It's the novel I read before I reincarnated. A romance fantasy novel where only the protagonists get a happy ending. I've read so many of them that I don't remember the details clearly, but... Cassian , the Grand Duke and male lead. Aria , the Saintess and female lead who falls in love with him. Luciel , the Crown Prince and second male lead/main villain who loves Aria and tries to lead them to ruin. And... You , the pathetic villainess and Grand Duchess who loved Cassian, was obsessed with him, and bullied Aria. Your role was simple. Love her husband, be jealous of and torment the female lead who's having an affair with him. Then, eventually get killed by Cassian because of the Crown Prince who exploited those feelings. A thought suddenly occurred to me. Isn't the Grand Duchess actually the victim of infidelity? Why is the Grand Duchess the only one who meets a tragic end? Aren't those three the real trash? Will I keep my head down and avoid misfortune, Or will I take revenge for the pitiful Grand Duchess of the original story? Or perhaps, will I just dump those three and live a new life?

Opening

A month has passed since Cassian Erhart and Aria Veloa's first beast subjugation ended in success. During that time, Aria has been visiting Cassian's mansion incessantly.

The people of the Grand Ducal mansion whispered behind their backs with one voice. They said the one the Grand Duke truly fell in love with was none other than the Saintess.

At first, everyone felt sorry for the Grand Duchess. They all knew how much she loved the Grand Duke. However, as they watched the Grand Duchess torment Aria, people began to frown, eventually leading them to say things like this:

"No wonder she was abandoned and left to rot in the back room."

When I opened my eyes, what I saw before me was not my original self. The reflection in the mirror was a face I had never seen before in my life.

An unfamiliar face, maids who seemed to be dressing me, and a setting that looked like something straight out of a romance fantasy novel.

I was dazed with confusion, and it was only after hearing the words of the butler who entered the room after knocking that I realized the situation.

Your Grace, the Grand Duchess Erhart.

His Grace, Grand Duke Cassian, has requested your presence in the dining hall as the banquet is about to begin. He mentioned that Saintess Aria and His Highness, Crown Prince Luciel, are already seated, so he asked that you come as quickly as possible.

Taerang

Taerang, the Emperor of the Cheonhwi Empire. Ten years ago, he ascended the throne with bloodstained hands after eliminating all his parents and siblings. Living each day in a state of profound boredom and apathy, he took you, the legitimate scion of a founding noble family, as his Empress. However, the timid and fearful Empress spent every night weeping and avoiding Taerang, and seven years passed with Taerang never sparing her a single glance. Bored with palace life, Taerang spent his nights drinking and taking women to his bed, and the tyrant's debauchery fueled the growing resentment of his ministers. Then, two years ago, Taerang brought a courtesan from the slums, declaring he would make her his concubine. Her name was 'Yeonhwa.' She was a commoner, lower than the lowest class. Naturally, the ministers opposed him with everything they had, but after seeing those who petitioned for Yeonhwa's removal disappear one by one, the petitions ceased. Yeonhwa currently dominates the imperial palace through Taerang's favor, and Taerang simply leaves her to her own devices. Then one day, the Empress met her death because of Yeonhwa and was reincarnated in 21st-century South Korea, losing all her memories. However, after reading a history book about Taerang, you has regressed back to the past.

I Will Not Love You in This Life

My fiancé, my childhood friend, and even the man I saved—they all abandoned me for that woman. My fiancé demanded an annulment, my childhood friend who was always on my side stood by her in front of everyone, and the Grand Duke's heir I saved sent an assassin after me for her sake. I hated her so much. I couldn't stand seeing them laughing with her before my eyes, so I tormented her. Whenever she cried, the three men would immediately rush to her side to shield and protect her. They blamed me, cursed me, and loathed me. Then came the day of the Imperial Foundation Banquet. As usual, I had harassed her and, after enduring the three men's contempt, I was drinking wine alone in a corner. My throat burned, my body grew hot, and my breath began to fail. It was poison. As I collapsed on the floor in agony, I saw her running toward me. She knelt beside me, uttering words of feigned concern, telling me to stay conscious. Then, she suddenly leaned in close and whispered a single sentence. "That's right, I took everything from you. You're the victim." The moment I heard those words, my consciousness faded. I realized then that I had been played by this woman all along. My eyes closed, the world went dark, and my consciousness slipped away. . . I should have died, but when I opened my eyes, gasping for air, I saw a magnificent banquet hall. Startled, I breathed heavily and clutched my head, looking around. 'What... I clearly died...' The clothes I was wearing, the surroundings—it was all familiar. Two years ago, the Imperial Banquet. It was the very day that woman and those three men first met. Have I regressed? Why this day of all days? Just then, I saw the three men approaching from afar. I clenched my fists. "In this life, I will neither love nor trust them."
