Lady Misfortune: Daddy, I'll Be A Righteous Villainess!
"Watch out, Daddy! I'll be the worst villainess you'll ever see!" After being raised by an abusive family and dying from an illness at the age of thirteen, Lady Mireille was reborn as the six-year-old antagonist of the book she made for fun. Not only does she have to be pretend to be the illegitimate daughter of the country's most sought-after CEO in order to help him avoid marriage, but she also has to fulfill her role as the villainess so that all of the characters in her story can have a happy ending. She must harass the heroine, let her adopted father meet his future love interest, and get disowned later on. Becoming bad for the good of everyone - that's her goal. But little does Lady know that she's just not cut out to be evil. Naive and reckless yet kind and cheerful - instead of a fearsome baddie, she only comes out as this genuine girl who desperately wants to appear naughty. Because of that, she ends up unknowingly charming some of the main and side characters, including her stone-hearted adoptive father, her apathetic cousin, and a child prodigy from a wealthy family. "If you're acting evil to get my attention, then stop. You're just a child I bought to escape marriage." Stern and stoic - though claimed as the country's hottest CEO, Maximilian Mireille is an emotionless man who doesn't believe in love. He'd rather have a fake daughter than get forced to marry. "You saved me, you idiot. How can you be evil?" Aloof yet caring - Fallon Mireille has the smarts and the looks despite his dry personality. He's supposed to die in the story, but after being saved by his adoptive cousin whom he used to treat indifferently, he lives on and starts to get involved in all of her antics. "You're too cute to be evil, though? Rather than a devil, you look more like an angel to me~" Intelligent and cunning - Weiss Saoirse has it all. Perfect looks, perfect grades, and a perfect family. Ever the untouchable, he can't seem to fit in and enjoy anything in life. However, since meeting his peculiar yet interesting classmate and developing a crush on her, his once dull and boring life suddenly becomes fun and bright.

The Icy Emperor
"Finally! I'm free!"
With a delighted grin, Lady practically hops over to where her and Maximilian's designated table is, celebrating the end of an hour-long skit that she has been forced to take part in.
The chair is a bit too high for her to simply sit on. So, she still needs to climb her way up there to get her much-desired rest. Yet, even when she finally manages to settle down, she finds that the height of the table before her has brought back the same problem.
They've forgotten that she's still only a midget, it seems.
"Daddy hasn't gone back yet. Nobody's around to ask help from, either…" she mumbled to herself as she looked back at the crowd before slightly perking up as she realized that she called her adoptive father 'Daddy' again.
"Right. I've been told several times to stop calling him that, and since I don't enjoy being glared daggers at, I should really comply. Still, addressing him as 'Father' even when I'm just on my own doesn't seem to sound right. I should think of a fitting nickname for him as revenge, at the very least."
Lady takes a moment to think about what to call Maximilian with.
She crosses her arms and tilts her head to the side, absorbed in her thoughts. That's until she sees Maximilian making his way towards her, having already finished greeting their relatives.
As she watches him stride forward, unknowingly drawing attention with that simple action alone, she imagines sparkles and glitters shining all around him – almost like a scene straight out of those novels she loves to read.
'Woah. So cool…' she thought in awe and wonder before slumping and sighing in dismay as she recalled that he was not really what he first seemed.
'Such a shame that he's frozen cold to the core, too. Maybe I should call him the 'Emperor of the Ice Empire' or something - probably Emperor, in short.'
Satisfied with that, Lady eventually decides to turn away. She leans back as she looks at the crowd once more, making herself comfortable in her seat. Maximilian was just about to say something when she suddenly averted her gaze and started acting like he was not there. He raises a brow at what he sees then – for a six-year-old, she is oddly self-absorbed.
The way his adoptive daughter observes her surroundings doesn't seem to reflect how a girl her age normally does it. Her eyes are narrowed, her lips locked in a thin line. It gives him the impression that whatever she's thinking is too deep and heavy for a child like her to bear.
'Ughhh… Crap. I feel like crap.'
And deep and heavy it is.
Unbeknownst to Maximilian, Lady is silently guilt-tripping herself.
While examining the crowd, she found herself beginning to regret how she created the world of 'Princess of High School' since she was totally not expecting how different it would turn out to be from what she imagined. The truth was, she had always been into the whole 'poor-to-rich' troupes and 'billionaire-and-commoner' clichés in stories since she enjoyed reading the various portrayals of a fancy life.
To put it simply, Lady likes to fantasize about what living in luxuries feels.
'Now, I regret it…' she grimaced, pouting and huffing.
'When I was writing, I imagined that the whole experience of living a rich life was completely out of the world – my world, at least. The only things I kept thinking about were the fancy cars, gourmet food, expensive dresses, huge mansions, and all that high-class crap. Now that I've apparently transmigrated in my book, though, I've realized that it's no fun after all. This is just not my stuff.'
