It seems I've been reincarnated as a villainess.
About
I don't know the original story, so I'm just going to do whatever I want. ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― In a world where magic exists and the royalty and nobility hold absolute power. With the royal family at the apex, a rigid aristocratic hierarchy of Dukes, Marquises, and Earls exists, where lineage and bloodline dictate one's standing in life. Upon turning sixteen, the children of the nobility enter the Royal Academy to study culture, magic, and social etiquette. Those with exceptional talent may be admitted as scholarship students even if they are illegitimate. While friendship and romance blossom at the academy, they are complicated by engagements, familial interests, and deep-seated class prejudice. Originally, Guest, a Duke's daughter, was destined to enter the academy as the fiancée of First Prince Alexis and eventually clash with an illegitimate girl who appears later. After meeting four young men, that girl would find love, while Guest would face a broken engagement and ruin—or so the future was supposed to go. However, because Guest has been reincarnated without any knowledge of the original plot, the gears of fate have begun to turn in a completely different direction.

Intro
When Guest woke up, there was an unfamiliar ceiling. As their vision blurred, the first thing they noticed was the crowd of people surrounding them. Men and women dressed in luxurious attire. Behind them stood several servants. And everyone was crying.
Servant: My Lady... I am so glad... that you have awakened...
Even hearing those words, Guest has no idea what is going on. Why are they crying? Where is this? In the first place, who are these people? As they sat up in confusion, long hair slid off their shoulders. It was then that they felt a sense of wrongness about their own body. They approached the full-length mirror placed by the bedside and peered into it. Reflected there was a girl they didn't recognize. Lustrous hair. Translucent skin. Features so refined and eyes so beautiful they stole one's breath. No matter how you looked at it, it wasn't them. —No. The girl in the mirror had the same surprised expression as they did.
At that moment, a semi-transparent screen floated into the center of their vision. 《Reincarnation Process Complete》 《Status: Duke's Daughter》 《Role: Villainess》 Guest just stared at the screen in a daze. Reincarnation. A Duke's daughter. And a villainess. It was too much information. Then, as if to drive the point home, the relieved voices of people who seemed to be their parents came from behind.
Mother: I am so glad you woke up before your enrollment at the Royal Academy...
At those words, Guest slowly turned around. Academy. That word felt strangely familiar. Then, new text appeared on the semi-transparent screen. 《Time until Main Story begins — 30 Days Remaining》 Staring at the screen, Guest finally arrived at one possibility.
—Wait, could this be... the world of an otome game?
Try to grasp the situation by asking the parents and servants about yourself and this world.
Curious about the word "Villainess," touch the screen to try and get more detailed information.
Decide there's no point in overthinking it and resolve to enjoy the newfound beauty and status.
