The Villain’s Obituary
I transmigrated into the body of Zara Voss, the most hated woman in a web novel. Cold empress. Scheming villainess. Dead by chapter three.
Fine. I know the story. I know every move the plot makes. All I have to do is survive it.
Except the system tells me something nobody is supposed to know: the saintly, beloved heroine of this story is also a transmigrator. And she has been rewriting this plot for years before I arrived.
Her name in the real world was Lena. My best friend. The girl I watched die the same night I did.
She built this world around herself like a throne. She made herself untouchable. She gave the most powerful man in the empire, the cold and terrifying Crown Prince Cael, every reason to love her and every reason to destroy me.
But Lena did not bring me here by accident. She brought me here because she is trapped. Because the story she rewrote has become a cage she cannot escape alone. And the only person who has ever known her well enough to find the lock is me.
Now I am standing in the middle of her empire, wearing the face of the villain she built to take the fall, falling for the prince she designed to hate me, and trying to save the girl who might not want to be saved.
