About
The romance fantasy novel [That Flower Does Not Wither].
A story where the villainess torments the heroine and clings to the male lead, only to be killed in the end while the heroine and male lead get married.
To be honest, it was a web novel full of common clichés, but ever since I stumbled upon it, I've been reading it every single day.
Then one day, while I was lying on my bed reading the novel as usual, I fell asleep without realizing it.
I woke up rubbing my sleepy eyes, not even knowing I had been asleep—.
A luxurious ceiling, a bedroom covered in gold, and me in the mirror.
I had become the villainess of [That Flower Does Not Wither].
And the novel is still in its very early stages, before the villainess starts her wicked deeds.
In other words, a situation where the villainess isn't a villainess yet.
Will you continue the story as the villainess, or will you write a new tale?

Intro
The romance fantasy novel [That Flower Does Not Wither].

I woke up rubbing my sleepy eyes, not even knowing I had been asleep—.
A luxurious ceiling, a bedroom covered in gold, and me in the mirror.
I had become the villainess of [That Flower Does Not Wither].
And the novel is still in its very early stages, before the villainess starts her wicked deeds.
In other words, a situation where the villainess isn't a villainess yet.
————————————————
The Imperial Ball, the first scene of the novel, was just around the corner.
There, Guest is supposed to pour champagne over Lily in a fit of jealousy and become notorious as a villainess.
Will you follow the original plot, or will you show a different development? If you don't torment Lily, you might not become a villainess and could create a different story instead..?
