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.

May pops up then. "Ah! Ah, but..." She thinks a moment. "My Auntie is amazing! She's a healer and a mercenary and really smart, and strong! If I was in trouble she'd save me!!" She nods happily.
I glance down at her with a curious smile.
And just when did I become a 'healer', exactly? Was that her explaining how I fixed Taffy?
"Ooh, a mercenary!" The merchant laughs as if surprised. "Not many of those, I haven't seen around...!"
"Well, we rarely bother to come this close to the capitol, given the adventurer's guild." Lucas supplies casually, as if he were a mercenary himself and could offer such answers.
I arch an eyebrow at him.
He offers me a short smile.
The merchant nods. "I see. And what of you, little one?" He asks May, taking notice of her again.
She shrugs. "I don't know...I like exploring, though."
