The Villainess Is Marionette

“Sigh. After we butcher this final boss, let’s take a long vacation.” Elian Reed squeezed his wife’s hand as a portal flickered before them. “Yes, my love. Let’s win, go home, and spend the next year making love like we’re repopulating a planet,” Bianca Valestra replied. She kissed his cheek, her gaze full of affection. Elian chuckled. His beloved always got playful when she was scared—it helped settle her nerves. They leaned together, forehead to forehead. “For our happy ending.” Hands interlocked, they stepped into the final battle—husband and wife, weapon and villainess. The strongest battle couple humanity ever produced. But Elian didn’t start as a hero. He was a Defect—born without Talent, bullied, forgotten. Until the day the dead villainess saved his life.... And turned him into her golem—a living weapon of steel and will. Through their adventures, they uncover the truth: The Dungeons were only skirmishes—tests in a galactic battle royale spanning thousands of worlds. And Earth had already joined the war fifty years ago. The only path to survival? Butcher your enemies… or be erased. In this chaotic battlefield, can two souls defy fate itself? This is the tale of their meeting. The chronicle of their journey. And the legacy of their triumph.

My hands were stretched out to him. Expressing what my voice couldn’t. I needed his help – even if it’s just this once - I’d hoped he helped me. But he didn’t reach out to me. Instead, I watch him turn his back at me. I watch him walk away when I needed him the most. Even after all she said, there was a part of me that hoped it wasn’t true. Even if he doesn’t love me - I’d thought he would at the very least liked me… maybe? I thought all the things I did for him would make him see me, tolerate me or something. But no. We kept drifting further apart. And it’s all my fault. I simply did too much. I trusted the wrong person. Did the craziest things for love. Forgot my self worth. All these to earn his approval, his acknowledgment - for him to see me – none of which ever happened. And now, here I am. Lying in the pool of my own blood for someone who doesn’t even care for my life or death. Oh, how I wish I could turn back time! I refuse to face my family like this. This is too shameful. For I’ve fallen too far from the woman I was raised to be. I dare not face my mama. Now, for the first time ever, I wish not to be seen, heard or even thought of- I wish not to be saved. I wish my soul disintegrates and scatters into nothingness . I wish to be completely erased from the universe. Nevaeh was given a second chance at life. she swore to get her revenge. she has a plan she planned to stick to. let she if she got what she wanted or not. if she did… how?

Min Jiwon is thirty, overworked, single, and emotionally attached to fictional characters. Her only joy in life? Reading the trashy romantic fantasy novel The Light’s Blessing, where a "perfect" Saintess steals the hearts of three powerful men—and ruins the villainess’s life in the process. On the night of her 30th birthday, a sparkly floating cat calling itself “System Fairy Riri” appears, announcing she’s been chosen to receive the Love Quest System™—a divine opportunity gifted to “middle-aged” women who’ve never experienced love. Her reward? Being dropped straight into her favorite novel… as the very Saintess who ruins everything. But Jiwon has zero interest in stealing men or saving the world. In fact, she’s determined to do the exact opposite. Her new mission? Help the cold, misunderstood villainess find happiness—and maybe fall in love with her instead. (What? The villainess is beautiful, brilliant, and clearly deserves better.) Armed with divine carbs, chaotic energy, and a sarcastic cat only she can hear, Jiwon’s about to rewrite the romantic fantasy one love point at a time. That is, if she can survive the dramatic crown prince, the glacial northern duke, the mad genius mage… and the very annoyed Church of Light. Because falling in love might just be her only way to stay in this world for good.

A classic villainess/heroine tale that puts a new twist on the genre. This Industrial Era fantasy tells the story of Nadia—a secret agent with a dry love life and an unhealthy addiction to visual novels—as she Transmigrates into the body of Vivian Moore, the villainess of the novel, from a family of business CEOs. All the destruction flags were raised, and Vivian was at the end of her rope. Her life was about to take a turn for the worst, but with Nadia behind the wheel, she seized Fate by the hairs of its head and yanked it into a sharp U-turn. No more weakness was allowed! If something wanted to get rid of her, she would stab it to death. If someone wanted to trample over her, she would shoot them into a beehive. And there was no stopping her because she had the strongest weapon a main character can have: the System!

Dragged back to life by curious Prince Ren Feng, Lian awakens in a rain‑soaked ruin with her body half‑numb, her magic scorched—and a neon‑blue System window hovering in her vision. [PRISM‑404 HUD INITIALIZING]Mission: Secure the loyalty of your future killerReward: Anchor Points, Trait Upgrades, A chance to live Turns out her “second chance” comes with an audience: PRISM‑404, a data‑hungry AI that dishes out snark, combat buffs, and terrifying penalties. Each mission grants Anchor Points she can trade for powers like Veilstep and Crystal Court—but every upgrade edges her closer to a complete merge with the System…and possible loss of self. Task #1? Earn the trust of Ren Feng—the descendant of the prince who executed her family line. From storm‑lit palaces and cut‑throat merchant guilds to a cultivation academy hiding shard‑possessed rivals, Lian plays a high‑stakes game of face‑slapping politics, secret missions, and forbidden romance. But as fragments of a greater “Glintshard Protocol” surface, she learns her resurrection is part of a loop written into the empire’s very code—and she might be the glitch that can break it. Power comes at a price. Loyalty comes with knives. And the System is always watching.

I’m not a gamer. In fact, I barely touched games—never had the time or interest. I’m a 23-year-old college dropout, part-time construction worker, and full-time avoider of adult responsibilities. That is, until my little sister nagged me into trying a romance simulation game called Echoes of the Crimson Throne. I played it. Liked it more than I expected. I even completed it. And the next thing I knew… I woke up inside the game. Not as the hero. Not even as a love interest. I was now the personal attendant of Alice Draken—the villainess, the Prince’s fiancée, and the iron-fisted Ruler of the North. A woman whose downfall was guaranteed... unless I do something about it. --- Goals:- 50 GT tickets:- 3 Bonus Chapters. 100 GT tickets:- 5 Bonus Chapters ---- The MC act little naive at least till 9 chapters but that's it.

She was supposed to be the villainess, tortured to death personally by the Alphas she served. She was walking that path... until she stumbled. And then she discovered she was in a book. Not just any book, but a spicy, erotic novel titled Hot Alpha Brothers Fuck Me Every Night. And no, she wasn’t the heroine, but the deranged, cannon-fodder villainess, obsessed with the Alphas – sending them nudes, cursing their girlfriends, and ultimately dying a pitiful death, her corpse discarded like trash into the wild. But now, with her memories awakened and the horrifying plot laid bare, Eira makes one vow: She will not die for someone else’s happy ending. No more obsession. No more humiliation. No more being the villainess in someone else’s love story. But walking away from fate isn’t easy, especially when the Alphas who once hated her start looking at her... differently. Intimately. Yet she was no longer the girl who craved their attention. No, this time, she was a transformed villainess – one determined to write her own ending.

Living a normal life is boring, but I was happy with what I had. Even when I spent most of my life in regret and misery, I lived because I had someone that I loved dearly. And that said someone took my life... But fate had different plans for me... As if death wasn't enough for me. As if the gods were mocking me. I got reincarnated into a hardcore romance game that I used to play. That too when the prequel game that I played the most ended twenty-five years ago. A game where death is everyone's mistress. A game that people either liked or hated too much. Now reincarnated into the body of the Villainess's son. I became someone that I hated the most... "Hahaha..." I laughed at my own misery. As if that too wasn't enough, I also became the slave of someone else's desires. Now, one might say a mother is a mother even if the world sees her as a Villainess. But what if your mother is the very incarnation of evil? That your mother is the hurdle that you have to overcome? What if your mother is the very reason you might die?

There are times—far too many times—when you feel that uncontrollable urge to kill someone. For Kaya, this… this was exactly that moment. “Repeat what you just said?” She’d seen hell on the battlefield—second-in-command of a military unit, dodging bullets, dragging traitors by the collar, and coming out alive with grit under her nails. But nothing, absolutely nothing, prepared her for the sight of her spineless husband flirting with her own sister. Right in front of her. “I could never marry a barbarian like you. The one I... I like is Meera—” Blah blah. The same pitiful nonsense again. You think—what could possibly be worse than this? And then, right on cue, your idiotic sister chimes in, completely serious, “I just poisoned you.” Wow. BANG. Before anyone could even react, Meera collapsed. Dead. Her so-called husband gasped like a fish dragged out of water. “Y-you…” He dropped to his knees, staring at Kaya like he was seeing a monster rise from the dark. “You killed your sister?! How could y—?” BANG. Second bullet. Same spot. He dropped like a puppet with its strings cut. Silence. ... Just when Kaya thought her story had finally reached its bitter end, the universe—no, god himself—decided to throw in one last, ridiculous twist. “Wife… wife, didn’t you say you were gonna eat me? Why’d you stop?” A snake beast, ridiculously charming and glowing like some immortal fantasy, clung to her, eyes gleaming. Another voice interrupted. “Shut up! My wife wants to cuddle me now—” A sparrow beastman leapt into her arms, like that made any sense. “Hic… wife, don’t you want me anymore?” A panda-like beastman sat beside her, huge, sniffly, and wronged like a child abandoned at a festival. Sitting in the middle of all this, Kaya was absolutely dumbfounded. ‘When the hell did all of this even start?’

I’ve been reincarnated into a tragic novel—into the body of a villainess who’s hated no matter what she does. But that despair didn’t last long. "We’ll immediately alter the dress to suit the Lady’s taste!" "Of course, there’s no such thing as homework." "You’re the one and only jewel of the empire, just as you wished." Even just frowning and staying silent makes everyone around me obediently follow my words. Why should I live like a pushover again? Honestly, living as a villainess like this is way more comfortable. If I’m going to be a villainess anyway, I might as well be a filthy rich one. So I used all the knowledge I had—and as a result: "May I have the honor of escorting the Lady tonight?" Not only did my father fall in line— but even a hidden mastermind villain, who wasn’t in the original storyline, suddenly rolled right into my life?!

I lived and breathed The Snow Pearl, a beloved fantasy novel where a kind heroine fought against cruelty and injustice. I loathed the masked Empress—the villainess cloaked in scandal and darkness—who ruled the empire with terrifying magic. So why, after death, did I wake up as her? Behind the Empress’s veil lies a kingdom of lies, betrayal, and a truth far more twisted than the story ever told. The heroine I once adored is hiding her claws. The three men surrounding her aren't the saviors I thought. And the only soul standing by my side is a cold, beautiful man who claims loyalty, but hides secrets of his own. I was reincarnated as the villainess they feared... And from the Twilight Throne, I will decide who the real monsters are.

--- She died unloved, unprotected, and falsely accused. Libertia—the “villainess”—was cast aside by her own family, betrayed by the girl they brought into their home, and burned by the empire she once called hers. Her only crime? Being in the way. But death was not the end. When fate rewinds time, it’s not just Libertia who returns. This time, her family remembers everything. The cold crown prince. The distant military brother. The distracted emperor. The ever-busy empress. Each of them haunted by the memory of the daughter they lost… and the price they paid for turning their backs. Now, given a second chance, they will rewrite the ending. This time, they’ll fight for her. This time, they’ll protect their daughter before it’s too late. Even if it means facing the same girl who destroyed them before—Lily, the one they once trusted. In this life, Libertia won’t stand alone. --- this is my first time writing please read and give feedback

Lucille was a top student when she suddenly passed away due to a car accident she was transmigrated to the novel that she was reading before her tragic ends, and what's worse she was transmigrated in the body of the Villainess Acantha Solaris who will also die without receiving any love from everyone.

“Tempted by the demoness” was just another romance cultivation novel. Ming Shan, the female lead, was a nice and innocent girl with a tragic backstory, a demon raised in a righteous sect, facing the world’s cruelty and abandoned by birth, she would go on many adventures to cultivate the dao with the two male leads, each competing for her love. But no hero lacks their villain. Yue Fang, the villainess of the story, would do everything in her power to make the protagonist miserable and steal her man, just to die tragically in the middle of the book, not even worth two lines to describe her final moments. There was no way that girl could have avoided her fate. However, what if one were to be transmigrated as Yue Fang? Knowing the contents of the novel, one might not face much difficulty. But what if that person was a foreigner that never read the book or even knew what Xianxia is? They needed to be the most unlucky human alive. Luckily, Camila would never have to worry about that.

Blood runs thicker than water. Lillian Chen—no, Lillian Lu—met a tragic end in her previous life with not even her body intact. Branded as a villainess in the pages of someone else's story, her fate happened to be betrayed by the Chen family- the very family she devoted her life to. But the fate had other plans. She was reborn, and this time she was out for revenge. Discarded by the Chens and overshadowed by Eva, the so-called “real daughter,” Lillian vows to rewrite her story—this time, on her own terms. And she plans to save her poor real family- the people who truly cared for her- this time from their ill-fated endings. To her surprise, they all turned out to be bigshots! Her mother is the mastermind behind the most powerful intelligence agency. Her eldest brother? Lord of the criminal underworld. The second? A world-renowned surgeon with a genius mind. And the third? A legendary hacker wanted by nations. It seemed she had a dangerous father as well! Also, why was the richest man in the world chasing after her!? This time, Lillian was determined to be the villainess she was and take the world by storm.

In her previous life, she was a girl that hadn't lived her life to the fullest, only lying sickly on her hospital bed throughout her life until she took her last breath. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in the world of the story she last read, possessing the body of the character named Calista Vermilion—the infamous illegitimate child of the duke that led the heroine's childhood life in hardship. Calista was destined to live in luxury as the duke's favorite child until she was caught as a fraud and locked away in the dungeon for the rest of her life. Lucky for her, when she starts possessing Calista's body, it is still before the duke takes her in, giving her the opportunity to change the villainess's destiny. She transforms from being known as the spoiled, cruel villainess to the kind daughter of the duke.

"When she read, Lisa had always hated villains. In her defense, she never expected to become one." Lisa was an avid reader, and among all the books she loved, she had a new obsession: Beauty and Power, a book in which the main villain shared her name. The book began with two characters, Lisa and Eleanor, who, during a vacation trip, ended up getting lost in a cave and found themselves in the world of beasts. They were best friends and did everything together, so it was no surprise when both transmigrated to the same world. In the world of beasts, they were the most beautiful and caught the attention of the most powerful males. Over time, however, Lisa's envy and ambition grew stronger and stronger. The friends soon became rivals and then enemies. Lisa, the villain, led the fox clan against the tiger clan in the book’s final battle, where she was ultimately defeated by the protagonist, Eleanor. As a consequence of her sins, she was blamed for the war and sold into slavery. To ensure she could never manipulate anyone again, her tongue was cut out. That was the price she paid for her greed. "Now that was a great ending!" Lisa exclaimed, delighted by the story. However, she was far less thrilled when she woke up in the villain’s body. Sold as a slave and unable to speak, Lisa could only rely on her intelligence to survive in that body. But after all, what could she do with the body of a notorious criminal?

Labelled as a good person but has a wicked heart --- Astra believed that following the norm is the right path. Despite having a lot of evil thoughts, she never did any of them. Hence, when she died, she believed Heaven is her destination. As for being wicked? Let the heavens purify her heart. To her surprise, she did not enter Heaven. She was not in hell either!
