Episode 1

I stared blankly at them as I took my seat, noticing their obvious displeasure upon seeing me. But it didn't faze me. I don't give a damn about these people.

Now that I realized I've been reincarnated here and can't die because of the casualties, I planned on getting away from here and from them.

I have no intention of getting involved with them. I'll just wait until I grow old and die. I could also die from illness or an accident. Whatever.

I don't want to live in a place that would remind me of him. Of my greatest love that... fell down.

I heard a loud cough from an old man. I shifted my gaze to him, still unfazed. He stared at me intently.

“You, my ungrateful child. Thanks for making a scandal at the main palace, and now I have to deal with these issues,” he said with utmost sarcasm. I remained staring at him.

He smirked with annoyance and hissed right after. “I don’t know what’s wrong with you. You were never this silent and calm. Is this because you just discovered that your fiancé wants to break off your engagement?” he asked.

I sighed. Well, that's totally fine. It would make me happier. I still don't know who I am in this story, so I don't know how I will react.

But if what he's saying is true, it's a relief for me. I'll just live my life out here alone, until I die. No problem for me.

I still had no reaction, just staring at them. He was annoyed with me. I know. But I chose not to speak. He asked the guy beside him, who he just called, “Sean.”

“Check my daughter’s condition,” he ordered firmly. The man, who looked like a doctor, nodded before approaching me.

Sean. His name sounds familiar.

He placed his hand on my forehead. I just stared at them like nothing. Lifeless and uncaring.

Later on, he faked a scoff in his professional way as he told the old man about my condition. “The Madame is completely fine. There’s no need to worry about her physical health, but Duke Eléftheros, I suggest that we should check her... mental condition,” he almost whispered the last words.

I heard the old man's loud snort. I just stared at him as I watched him raise his brows at me with disgust. “You’re so pitiful. I told you that don’t let your love for that man, reign over you. Now, look where that got you,”

“I don’t want to have a daughter who has mental disorders. Fix yourself. Stop giving me more problems,” he said and left our table.

The doctor remained standing beside me. He hasn't said a word. I don't need his presence either. I stood up and was about to leave.

“As much as I hated you, I cannot leave you unchecked. I think this is your karma for hurting Innocence,” he said coldly. I didn't speak.

They’re just fictional characters, anyway. And as I heard him say those words, I just realized something about him.

So, he is Sean Riel Halves. The famous young doctor who has fallen in love with the female lead. But because he can’t have her, he ended himself hanging due to depression.

Huh. What a great way to die. If only I were in his place so I could die immediately.

I nodded at his words about my karma. I know. I think this really is my karma. Part of what he said... hurt me.

But, I shook my thoughts out. I must focus on my plan about getting away from them. So that my life here will end quietly but full of longing.

I left the place. I didn't look back at him and silently walked away. It was only a matter of time before I reached a field full of blossoming flowers.

I stopped. I was struck by the feeling of waterdrops above my head.

It was... raining. In a field full of flowers.

I was scared to admit that this scene... is familiar. So familiar that the flashed memories in my mind started to play like a recorded tape in a loop.

“Please take care of yourself,” Mikael said as he handed me his umbrella. I was fazed by the moment. I was dancing in the garden full of flowers under the rain. He saw me.

But, I fell in love at first sight. He was the same. We clicked. We fell in love with each other. We included ourselves in our future and plans.

“What is that?” I asked him. He chuckled a little. He turned to me before placing the book on the small table. “It might cringe you that your boyfriend is a fan of fantasy romance novels,” he laughed.

I immediately shook my head. I'm a fan of it too! “No, Mikael! I find it cute!” I said immediately. He nodded before kissing my forehead. “I’m a writer. I wrote a story with my favorite genre and it was inspired by you,” he said sweetly.

I was happy about it because I found it romantic. Imagine. A man putting you as the subject of his story. It's cute! So, when he published his work, I was the first one who read it.

I was the first to read it. I was the first to enjoy it, and I was the first to be his supporter.

His story became my favorite. I read it countless times.

Eventually, he proposed to me. We planned on marrying each other. I was at my happiest moment.

But then, things really must have to go on their own ways.

Because the day our wedding was supposed to be held, he... died. On the very day we were supposed to get married. It was a tragedy for me. I couldn't eat or sleep properly because I couldn't accept it.

I only lived right after because I was seeking my end. Two years later, I was shot dead in an ambush. I thought it was over.

But, no. I woke up in this place that would remind me greatly of him. The place where he built his imagination because of me.

I wobbled. I sat down in the mud and fell onto the cold ground.

I still don't know who I am here. But as soon as a man covered in black clothes approached me with an umbrella in his hands... I think I just got the answer.

Deja vú.

Halaya Xye Riguel was reincarnated as Malaya Eléftheros.

I am the... villainess.
