The Villainess Is A Marionette Novel

Born to a half-witch mother and an archmage father, she possessed an extraordinary amount of mana within her. However, fate was merciless. At the age of eight, her family was brutally murdered by unknown assailants, leaving her as the sole survivor. Overwhelmed with grief and rage, she vowed to avenge them. "Mom, Dad, Sister... I will avenge your deaths no matter what." Training relentlessly in both magic and swordsmanship, she soon discovered that she wielded one of the most powerful magical abilities in existence. Yet, despite her vast reserves of mana, the strain of using her power left her utterly exhausted. In order to survive, she became the youngest assassin in the Lavastian Empire, executing traitors under imperial orders in exchange for five gold pieces each week. Her life of blood and shadows took a sudden turn when Duke and Duchess Flowell, unable to bear children of their own, adopted her as their daughter. For four years, she found solace and happiness in her new family. But peace was fleeting. Her adoptive parents perished in a mysterious carriage accident, their bodies never found. The emperor ordered an investigation, and within weeks, the truth was revealed—bandits had killed them. Or so the reports claimed. With her grief reignited and suspicions running deep, she resumed her path of vengeance, becoming the infamous "Dark Killer" of the Cevallos Empire—a faceless assassin clad in a black mask and cloak, striking fear into the hearts of her enemies. As she hunted for the ones responsible for both her families' deaths, an unexpected complication arose—she became entangled in the affections of the empire's most powerful men. And then, when she encountered one of them, a flood of memories from another life surfaced. "As I thought... this world I live in is the fantasy romance novel I once read." In that past life, she had been nothing more than an extra character. Yet now, fate had rewritten her role. And in a world filled with intrigue, magic, and obsession, she was no longer just a side character—she was the villainess who would carve her own destiny.

When Lu Huang woke up as Lidia—the villainess of a cringe-worthy romance novel—she was determined not to let the story play out like the dumpster fire it was written to be. Nope. Dying at the hands of the Alpha King after being falsely accused, publicly humiliated, and manipulated into madness? Yeah, that’s not on her to-do list. Armed with a sharp tongue that could flay egos, the street smarts of a broke college grad, and the petty audacity of someone with nothing left to lose, Lidia decides she was ripping up the script. Holier-than-thou saintesses? Screw ’em. Self-righteous alphas? They can eat dirt. If this world insists on casting her as the villain, she’s going to own it—on her terms. One chaotic scheme at a time, Lidia’s ready to rewrite her fate—and if she has to break a few rules (and maybe some noses) to do it, so be it. Villainesses don’t play nice, and Lidia is just getting started.

Kim typed out a 3,000-word comment to express her joy over the demise of the villainous character, Marcella Pendragon. The ending was heartbreaking, as Marcella had constantly bullied the female protagonist, Sabrina Pendragon, the first daughter of the Pendragon family. All members of the Pendragon family shared a distinctive trait - white hair and blue eyes - whereas Marcella, with her red hair and red eyes, resembled her mother instead. This difference fueled her anger and resentment towards her family. As the story progressed, with the villain no longer present, the narrative approached its conclusion, and Sabrina was set to marry the Crown Prince. However, Kim's world was turned upside down when she woke up to find herself as a slave in the world of the novel she had been reading. To her horror, her master was none other than Marcella Pendragon. Kim had never been particularly invested in Marcella's character, despite her being described as a beautiful yet evil villain. However, when faced with the reality, Marcella's beauty seemed almost otherworldly. "Black hair, black eyes..." Marcella said in a cold tone, as individuals with such characteristics were often associated with being descendants of the devil's race, known for their black eyes and hair.

Naviah Mendoza is a brilliant and elegant secretary working in a business company. Though she presents herself with grace in front of her boss and VIP clients, she is feared by her officemates for her bossy, almost villainous demeanor.

In this new reality, she is inside the body of Via Shin, the infamous villainess of a drama-like world where power is everything. Here, wealth and social status dictate survival, and betrayal lurks behind every polite smile.

Or someone even closer, someone she never suspected? As she uncovers layers of deceit, she realizes that every move she makes could either bring her closer to the truth or seal her fate for good. In a world where trust is a weakness and power is the only shield, Naviah must become a true villainess, not just to survive, but to win. ••• Date Started: February 8, 2025 Date Finished: — Disclaimer/s: This is a work of fiction.
