Akuyaku Reijō desu ga Kōryaku Taishō no Yōsu ga Ijō Sugiru

As the formidable villainess of an otome game, our protagonist knows her role: to obstruct the hero's path and ultimately face a grim end. Yet, when she awakens within this familiar world, the game's male leads—the very characters she's meant to antagonize—begin to behave in ways that are anything but predictable, even for her. Their intense, almost obsessive, interest in her throws the entire narrative off course. Now, instead of navigating a predetermined route to her downfall, she finds herself entangled in a web of unexpected affections and unsettling devotion. With the established plot crumbling around her, she must desperately try to understand these bizarre shifts in allegiance and somehow escape a fate that seems determined to find her, no matter how much the rules change.
