I'll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History

A gentle, virtuous heroine may be the ideal figure in an otome game, but one Japanese woman finds her far less interesting than the ruthless villainess, Alicia Williams. She admires Alicia’s sharp tongue, unshakable resolve, and disciplined nature, while the game’s heroine strikes her as insincere-someone who plays with Prince Duke Seeker’s feelings but offers little substance. If given the chance, she’d choose to become Alicia in a heartbeat-and fate grants that wish. Seven-year-old Alicia awakens with memories of her past life, now knowing every twist and turn the future holds. With no time for fear, she sets her sights on outsmarting the heroine and avoiding her doomed fate. To do so, she’ll need relentless effort, mastery of her noble family’s forbidden magic, and the will to carve her name as history’s most formidable villainess.
