I Got Reincarnated as the Villainess
The Wrong Story
Juliette Warner
God, this is trash
She clicked the screenshot. Up, scrolling through the ending
Betrayal. Execution. And the heroine?
Dumb as rocks.
Juliette Warner
(Muttering) Why does the villainess always have to die stupidly?
Beautiful, cruel, doomed.
Juliette Warner
(Rolling her eyes) If I were her, I’d burn the whole palace down first
Breath.
Sharp pain.
Softness.
Roses. Velvet. The faint hum of something unfamiliar.
？？？
(Barely breathing) No. No—
Door opens. A maid in crisp linen, eyes wide.
Maid Lily
(Relieved) Lady Elara!
Maid Lily
Thank heavens—you're awake!
？？？
(Whispers) You've got to be kidding me
Maid Lily
Should I fetch the physician?
Lord Adrian will want to see you before the announcement—
？？？
(Eyes snapping to the maid) No
The male lead. The liar. The coward.
The maid hesitated, then fled.
Alone, she pressed her palms flat on the desk, staring at the inkpot.
？？？
(To herself) I'm in the book
She sat. Reached for parchment.
Wrote the words in harsh, uneven strokes:
Framed. Betrayed.
Executed by Chapter 20.
A headache throbbed behind her eyes. And with it—flickers.
— A child’s voice: “Mother, look! I did it!” — Hands pushing her aside: “Stay out of the way, Elara.” — Laughter, cold, sharp, cruel.
Elara Quinn (Fl/Nl Villainess)
(Whispers) She wasn't always the villain...
A soft smile curled on her lips.
Elara Quinn (Fl/Nl Villainess)
Good
Elara Quinn (Fl/Nl Villainess)
Because neither am I
The Map of Enemies
Paper. Ink. Blood in her mouth from biting the inside of her cheek too hard.
She needed a map. Not of places—of people.
Elara Quinn (Fl/Nl Villainess)
(Writing, whispering) Power. Money. Secrets
The empire wasn’t held together by laws or kings. It was held together by whispers in dark rooms.
She dipped the quill again and started drawing it out:
THE EMPEROR → Sick. Frail. Half-dead already.
THE CREST FAMILY (Adrian’s line):
Old money. Military control. Trying to grab the throne before the old man chokes on his next breath.
Elara Quinn (Fl/Nl Villainess)
(Soft laugh) Of course Adrian wants to be king
Elara Quinn (Fl/Nl Villainess)
Daddy's boy with blood on his hands
THE MERCER FAMILY (Selene’s):
Small. Weak. But ambitious.
Selene wasn’t marrying Adrian for love.
She was buying power with her smile.
THE QUINNS (her family):
Rich. Ruthless. Politically dangerous.
Her father had made enemies by the dozens.
They were going to use her like a coin in someone else’s hand.
Finally—at the edge of the paper—
Bastard-born. Leading The Black Guard. A rumor. A threat. A scapegoat for every noble family’s sins.
Elara Quinn (Fl/Nl Villainess)
(Softly) And me?
She drew one word around her own name:
Not if she broke the wheel before they crushed her beneath it.
Maid Lily
Lord Adrian will be here soon
Maid Lily
For the engagement announcement
Death sentence in a pretty dress.
Elara Quinn (Fl/Nl Villainess)
(Folding the map) Let him come
Her smile didn't reach her eyes
Elara Quinn (Fl/Nl Villainess)
It’s always better when the snakes come close enough to see their eyes
The Engagement Announcement
Velvet curtains. Gold trim. Everything about the Crest estate screamed perfect nobility.
Announcer
(Formal) Lady Elara Quinn... and His Highness, Prince Adrian Crest
The crowd parted like waves around a sinking ship.
Whispers slid past her skin like knives.
“That’s her…”
“Didn’t she poison someone last season?”
“Poor Adrian, forced into this mess—”
She stepped forward anyway, chin high, blue eyes steady.
Gold hair. Sharp jaw. Smile like a politician’s promise.
Adrian Crest (Fl Fiance/Nl Ml)
(Flat) Lady Quinn
Elara Quinn (Fl/Nl Villainess)
(sweet smile, sharp teeth underneath) Your Highness
Next to him—Selene Mercer.
Pastel dress. Honey curls. Eyes like soft spring rain.
Selene Mercer (Fl Bff/Nl Fl)
(All sugar) I'm so happy for you both
Elara Quinn (Fl/Nl Villainess)
(Soft) That's very sweet of you
Elara Quinn (Fl/Nl Villainess)
Truly
Adrian Crest (Fl Fiance/Nl Ml)
(through gritted teeth): Play your part, Elara
Elara Quinn (Fl/Nl Villainess)
(turning slightly): I always play my part. The question is, do you?
The Lord Chancellor stepped forward, raising a scroll.
Chancellor
By order of His Imperial Majesty, it is decreed—
Elara didn’t hear the rest. She was watching Selene.
Watching the way Selene’s fingers curled in her skirts when Adrian glanced at her.
Jealousy wasn’t a color Selene wore well.
A flicker of movement. Far across the room.
A man leaning against a pillar, dressed in black, watching her like a secret.
He lifted his glass in a mock toast.
Elara Quinn (Fl/Nl Villainess)
(whispers, smiling): Let’s begin, then
