I reincarnated and became a villainess with no solution.
By the time I realized my past life, the male lead’s ‘Name’ had already manifested on my body, making the engagement a certainty. Moreover, the relationship between the male lead and the female lead had progressed as far as it could go.
If things continued this way, the future of starving to death in a prison, just like in the original story, might be awaiting me.
’I have no choice. I’ll just have to maintain a good relationship with the male lead, like my predecessors who were transmigrated into a villainess.’
…I once thought that, but then…
“The successor will be the child born to Stella.”
What should I do when the male lead I meet right after realizing my reincarnation says something like this?
“Raimund. I’m asking this because I truly don’t understand, but surely you’re not talking about the successor to our house, the House of Martyre?”
“Hmph. Evgenia Martyre. Please stop acting so foolish.”
Ah, so he isn’t!
“This marriage is happening because you want it. For your pathetic love.”
“So, shouldn’t my love be respected as well?”
Right, he was not! If this is the case, the only path left is to somehow break off the engagement.
However, because of this damned ‘Name’, I couldn’t find a way out at all. The very last remaining, single method was…
”…They said erasing the Name shortens your lifespan by three years per character.”
If I erase his full name, Raimund Larsen, 39 years will fly away. This means becoming terminally ill at the age of 19.
”But, my Name gets erased anyway if I follow the original story, right? I can just think of it as erasing it in advance.”
Being imprisoned in a dungeon and sickly dying within a week vs. living happily as a terminally ill lady of a wealthy ducal house before passing away.
”Unless I have a death wish, I’d naturally choose the latter. Good, my goal from now on is to become terminally ill!”
