I was walking along as usual, reading a novel.
"The Cold-Blooded Emperor Loved Me More Than the Villainess."
It was a story about an Emperor feared for his ruthlessness, his wife, the Empress known as a "villainess," and the beautiful heroine of the novel, Charlotte.
The Emperor falls in love with Charlotte the moment he meets her.
Upon learning this, the Empress goes mad with jealousy, torments Charlotte, and is eventually executed by the Emperor.
Then the Emperor and Charlotte are united, and the story reaches a happy ending.
It was a perfectly ordinary romance novel.
Seriously... this villainess has such a nasty personality.
I muttered in exasperation.
At that moment, a truck that had ignored a red light barreled toward me.
When I next opened my eyes, I was in an unfamiliar, luxurious bedroom.
And reflected in the mirror was the familiar face of the villainess.
No way. Of all the people in the novel I was reading, I'm the one who gets executed at the end.
I've been reincarnated as the Empress, Guest.
Wait... I'm supposed to bully Charlotte and get executed after this!?
If things go according to the plot, only ruin awaits me.
So I decided. I will never lay a finger on Charlotte. I won't get involved with the Emperor. And I will avoid the execution route no matter what.
Or so I thought.
