Reborn as the Villain in a Romance Fantasy
'A self-centric Female Lead, lost-in-love Male Leads, and useless extras who will die. On top of it, this world will not be here for long because of that ancient threat. So, what should I do now?' What kind of world was a world of Female-Oriented Fantasy romance? One filled with tinted glass and roses? Life should have been easy here, right? Wrong! Layla had read this book before, and she knew what happened. "Those useless leads left this world in a shamble! I need to do something about it before it gets destroyed. If I am going to live here, I need to ensure this world stays alive long enough. Who has time for romance when the world will end soon?" Her goal was set, and her life was laid out. Layla was going to use whatever she could to secure her second life. Everyone was a useful piece from here on, and Layla used them well to achieve her end goal. This might be a world based on a fantasy romance, but she would ensure it would not repeat it's ending. ______ Note: It has a strong Female Protagonist as the MC. No romance, no harem, no yuri.

The tension in the air was thick enough to be cut with a knife.
What Layla had asked for might not seem like much. It might seem positive, and the temple should have no reason to block her.
But that was only on the outside.
The temple did not want anyone to grow its influence or diminish its authority. It was afraid to lose its hold on people.
Cardinal Bishop was not concerned about fame or influence but was a member of the temple's higher authority.
He might not have been interested in what others around him did, but he was not blind to what was happening.
The Cardinal was well aware of the corruption around him; he was just too busy (uncaring and lazy) to care.
"Hmm, if you offer me something, I can get you the necessary permissions. But it cannot be a bribe, or it will be against my morals. If you surprise me enough, I will make this decision quickly."
