In My Next Life I'll Win the Heart of the Male Lead
There's nothing wrong with Adelaide's life. There's nothing wrong with being cheated on. After all, half of marriages end in divorce and most end from infidelity. There's nothing wrong with getting addicted to an otome game. After all, everybody has something they're obsessed with. There's nothing wrong with reincarnating as the villainess instead of the heroine. After all, the villainess is richer and more powerful. There's nothing wrong with the villainess chasing after one of the love interests. After all, it's not like he's the canon route. There's nothing wrong with Ophelia's life.

Valentine and Roland rush forward to meet him, but he deflects their initial attacks with ease. He knocks Valentine onto his back easily, superior skill shining brightly.
I snap out of my shock, finally, and launch forward to fight alongside my mentor.
Lucas tries to grab my wrist but I rip it out of his grasp as I move. "Stay back! Take care of Cyril and Celeste!"
