“I can’t believe I’ve become the supporting villainess from the manga I used to love! I absolutely refuse poisoning and downfall! In my previous life,I was a corporate slave, but I was born into a wealthy family this time, so I’ll spend lots of money and definitely make myself happy.”

Rosa tightly grips a hand mirror in her right hand and strikes a triumphant pose with her left.

“Young lady, please go to sleep quickly.”

Helena sends a pitying glance to Rosa, whose eyes oddly glint.

“Helena, even though I’ve slept too much and am not sleepy anymore…”

“That wasn’t sleep; you were in a state of unconsciousness. The young lady needs rest now. Besides, both the master and the madam are worried about you.”

Thus, they were overly doting parents, exclaiming, “We’re glad you’re alive. We love you, Rosa,” upon seeing their daughter with a mark on her forehead.

Being loved by parents is such a joy. Rosa isn’t sure about her past life because she only remembers dying from overwork as a corporate slave.

Thus, Helena takes the mirror from Rosa without any explanation and puts her to sleep.

◇

“Young lady, His Lordship is here for a checkup.”

Helena’s voice reaches Rosa in a half-dreamy state.

Perhaps because she remembered her past life, Rosa was excited last night. She slept deeply around dawn and woke up in the afternoon.

Rosa is currently receiving treatment for the horse-kicked wound from Ethan Griffiths, also known as His Lordship.

The Ethan in front of her is incredibly handsome. His almond-shaped eyes are beautiful, as if emeralds were set in them, and he has silky silver hair. Although he had few appearances in the manga, he was Rosa’s favorite character.

Ethan is the country’s top healer and also a royal prince. As the child of a concubine, he was seventh in line for the throne. However, Ethan’s excellence was recognized, and he now holds the fertile Griffiths duchy.

As a currently unmarried man, he is the envy of noble young ladies.

However, Rosa is too preoccupied with her thoughts to be interested in such an extraordinarily handsome man. She wonders how she can survive and what she should do to save herself.

In the story, Rosa ended up engaged to Alex due to the large wound from the horse.

If she recalls correctly, Rosa and the Croitzer family were pushed to take responsibility.

She just remembered these crucial details a while ago.

If things continue like this, she will be engaged to Alex and poisoned half a year before the wedding.

It’s not a joke.

Even though she’s the villainess, she was born into a rich and powerful aristocratic family in this life, not as a corporate slave.

She wants to enjoy the life of a noble young lady to the fullest.

(Using this status and wealth to carve out a meaningful life for myself! Instead of working myself to death for a company, I’ll live a fulfilling life just for myself.)

So Rosa reaffirms her determination not to be poisoned.

◇

The treatment is over, and Ethan has left the room. Rosa and Helena remain.

“Hey, Helena, I’m thinking of giving up on becoming Prince Alex’s fiancée.”

She doesn’t want to be engaged to Alex, who now sees her as annoying.

“Is that true? You’ve been pursuing him so relentlessly!”

Helena exclaimed with wide eyes, surprised.

Rosa puts her hand on her forehead, which hurts.

“I just don’t want to be resented.”

“Young lady, what happened? You never cared about such things until now.”

Helena trembles as if in shock.

With her reaction, Rosa can imagine how persistently she had been chasing after Alex until now.

Come to think of it, she was always making excuses to go to the royal palace and look for Alex.

In her past life, that would be considered stalking. Well, it’s even worse with the wealth and power she has now.

Unfortunately, Rosa isn’t a cool villainess; she’s a cunning and insidious one.

But being a villainess, she does have a good appearance. Rather, everything about her, including her personality, is too wicked.

She feels a bit depressed, but if she gives up now, her dream of using her father’s money to lead a luxurious life will be crushed.

Although she has already enjoyed a luxurious life enough, the time spent stalking Alex and having tea with her entourage seems longer.

Basically, Rosa loves being praised and lifted up by others.

(Am I such a blessed villainess? Rather than being cunning, am I just stupid? Definitely stupid, right?)

She recalls her past with a sense of weariness.

“Helena, I’m going to be different from now on. I’ll change.”

“Yes, you were remarkably calm in front of His Lordship today.”

Helena nods in admiration.

At that moment, Rosa realizes

She had been sending flirtatious glances to Ethan as well.

(Oh no, how dreadful. I was such a terrible woman! To think every man in the world believes they’re in love with me! Well, I am undeniably beautiful. But I have no cuteness at all.)

Rosa shudders at her revived dark history in this life.

“Oh, what should I do! I can’t face the outside world; it’s too embarrassing!”

She beats the pillow vigorously, and Helena rushes to calm down the now emotionally unstable Rosa.

“What? Young lady, what on earth happened!”

Until her past memories returned, she hadn’t noticed at all that she was disliked by Alex. But now, she understands clearly.

And in the manga, Alex has already met Ellen, and the two are drawn to each other.

(I was hated by Prince Alex. And Ethan, my favorite character, hated me too.)

Rosa remembers receiving cold glares from both of them.

“It’s painful, Helena. Too painful.”

Helena tries her best to comfort the emotionally unstable Rosa.
