The Villainess with a Heroine Harem

*Character illustrations in the auxiliary chapter.* Born and raised as a nameless shadow guard for his kingdom’s crown prince, his life’s purpose was to be used and discarded at the whims of his liege. And his meaningless life ended when the gaze of a princess lingered on him for too long. The crown prince had him beheaded without a second thought, as if throwing out trash. Transmigrating into the body of a baby girl, the nameless shadow finally had a name, a family, and a place to call her own. Throwing away his past, the shadow guard was now called ‘Emilia’, and walked on a new path to seek fulfillment. It was not meant to be, however, as the girl whom she had loved with all her heart and soul ended up mercilessly plunging a dagger through Emilia's love-struck heart at the highest point in her life. The crowd clamored at the ‘deserved death of the villainess’, and at that moment, the shadow could only wonder… why? Why am I always the one to dedicate myself fully to someone, only to be thrown away like trash in the end? And thus, as her soul floated away while cursing in resentment, ‘Emilia’ vowed to herself that in her next life she shall never be the one to fully dedicate herself. Whatever she likes shall be held in her palm, and shall never escape! The moment the vow was made, a self-proclaimed villainess system proposed to partner with her, to explore and conquer the worlds through their anchors—the heroes and heroines. And by cultivating this energy, she shall one day go back. Back to the world she was born as ‘Emilia’ in, and face the so-called heroine once more. The second time they meet, Emilia won’t be the one drowning in regret! ... Current cover was drawn by Scal2let, and commissioned by The Shadow King of Hearts (I love it so much, it's amazing, ahhh!!!

Contrary to her manager's belief, Emilia wasn't really trying to make her life any harder. If anything, the crimson-haired girl felt that she was already being very considerate by not running off when she easily could have done so.

Unfortunately, it didn't seem like her manager appreciated it very much, and Emilia even had the feeling that the lady would have tried to twist her ears off had she not been expressly prohibited from 'punishing' her by Crystal in advance.

"If you want to win over people's hearts in Carmen, you cannot always be so willful!" The manager continued to chide her. "Miss Crystal might have faith in your appearance and ability, but let me tell you, just that is not enough for you to succeed!"

Of course, the lady couldn't deny that whether it was the cute factor or the general charm she radiated, little Emi was definitely top-tier, but she wasn't lying when she said that wasn't enough.
