The Villainess

In a universe not unlike our own, the turn of the millennium brought with it the sudden appearance of super-powered humans. As time passed, nearly all of humanity had some form of Talent, in what came to be known as the Heroic Era. And where there were heroes, there were villains. Amongst the most feared villains (but really she identifies as an anti-villain), one stood above all. Not for her Talents, for she had none, but for her science. Khalida Zaquot, AKA The Engineer. Her mastery of super-science kept her leagues above the villains and heroes of Knight City... until the day she died, slain by the ultimate protectors of the status quo, Crusader and Destiny. But death was not the end for The Engineer. Reborn as the daughter of the duo that killed her, Khalida, now named Aislin, has to navigate life as the daughter of the world's mightiest if she's to get her revenge, restore her bad name, and finally conquer the world. And with her new powers, she might just be able to... If she can survive her overprotective (and overly powerful) twin sister, celebrity status, new parents, hormones, and hero school.

When the Genius Omega crosses part with the Supreme Alpha. Revenge becomes hers. . For a month, Eve has been seeking for a divorce from her mate who she’d been marrried to—the man she found out she was pregant for. They were after her life and regardless of the fact she was his mate, she couldn’t live. She knew too much about them. Her life was going to come to an end when her very ex-husband, her mate, tricked her into a job—a work that was finally going to cost her life. But all that changes when she sought protection fom a man, a lone alpha—strongest, wealthiest, that even the leader of the pack was below him. But if there was anything else this man was, it was…Frightening in a way she never imagined. Oh, but Malakai Salvatore was still just a man after all. He had secrets. And his secrets was something Eve never saw coming. Perharps…he wasn’t exactly the protection she needed. Because if anyone found out what he had hidden, Malakai Salvatore wouldn’t die alone. She had been implicated and bounded to him.

Everyone knew Ceres as the villain in her half-sister Ciena’s love story with Ryzel. She did everything to sabotage their relationship...so much so that on their wedding day, where she was supposed to be the maid of honor, she arrived wearing her dream wedding gown, a dress far more extravagant than the bride’s. Spoiled by their father, the wealthiest man in the country, neither the bride nor groom could do anything but endure the humiliation. The ceremony was filled with whispers, but Ceres only smiled, completely unbothered that she was ruining the most important day of her sister’s life. However, as they stepped outside the church, waiting for their cars to arrive, chaos erupted. A truck, its brakes failing, was heading straight for the crowd. People scattered in panic, desperate to escape. Ceres should have been safe. But amid the chaos, she noticed a small girl crying in the truck’s direct path...one that no one else seemed to see. Without hesitation, she ran, pulling the child to safety. She thought she had enough time to escape, but her long gown got caught on something. She couldn’t move. The truck hit her, crushing her under its weight. Even as she lay dying, she wasn’t thinking of herself. Her fading gaze searched the crowd until she saw the child safe in someone’s arms. A weak smile formed on her lips. And then...darkness. Ceres had done too many terrible things in her life. Surely, hell awaited her. But when she opened her eyes again, she was in a different world. She had been reborn as the young widow Empress of a crumbling kingdom...a woman who shared her name and face. But unlike her previous life of luxury, she now ruled over a dying empire on the brink of ruin. What did a spoiled brat like her know about leading a struggling nation? She had spent her past life wasting money, tormenting servants, and looking down on others. Now, she was forced to survive in a world where power, deception, and war reigned supreme. Would she rise as a true Empress, or would she fall just as she did before?

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? Gentleness and love are the last things one could expect from her. "Hahaha..." Again, a hollow laugh escaped my lips as the realization dawned on me. That I have been... Reincarnated As The Villainess's Son... =============================== [Discord link:- https://discord.gg/5Vgw4JCrBW]

Betrayed. Starved. Left to die alone in a world that chewed up the weak and spat them out. Gu Qingran trusted the wrong people, loved the wrong man, and paid the ultimate price. But fate? Fate gave her a second chance. Reborn 30 days before the apocalypse, she refuses to be the naive fool she once was. This time, there are no attachments, no kindness—only power. With the Omni-Alchemist System, she can create weapons deadlier than an arsenal, fortresses stronger than steel, and medicines that could cure or kill with a single drop. While the world slept, she stockpiled. While they wasted time..she built an empire. When the world burned, she rose from the ashes—untouchable, unstoppable and unchallenged. Let the apocalypse come. Let them beg for mercy. Because in this life, Gu Qingran is no one’s prey. She is the storm. Character Art done by Punzygracy> [40 chapters updates 1st April]

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.

After a shocking reincarnation, our hero opens her eyes to a new (and messy) world the last thing she remembers is reading Lady Viper’s Vow, a dark fantasy novel about a cruel, misunderstood villainess and her path of doom. But when our protagonist finds herself reborn right in the heart of an attack, she's moments away from a second, way-too-soon death. Just as she's about to face the end, a mysterious “system” pops up with a single mission: Level Up or Die Trying. It’s bossy, snarky, and her new best friend. As she levels up into a borderline-cheater powerhouse, she discovers her fate isn't to be a hero, a princess, or even a sorceress, but to protect the one person no one ever expected her to side with: the villainess herself.

The very woman who stole all the love interests and died trying! "Forget the male leads, I have to make the heroines forgive me!"

Divya wakes up in a cliché cultivation novel—only she’s not the badass heroine. Nope, she’s Xiaopang, the doomed side character meant to die for plot development. With zero cultivation skills, a killer headache, and a demon leopard on her heels, Divya’s got one goal: survive. Who needs divine talent when you’ve got sarcasm, sheer stubbornness, and a deep grudge against translated novels? Time to rewrite fate—because dying to make someone else look good? Yeah, not happening.

After getting hit by the truck, Luke was reincarnated as a target character in a reverse harem game. He was supposed to throw away his fiancée—the Villainess—and mindlessly follow the Protagonist. A side character he was destined to be, however, even if Luke accepts his fate as a side character, he cannot let the Villainess meet with the same dead end. ----------- Additional tags: No yaoi, no yuri, no NTR.

Reina Suzuki was an overworked office worker—until she died and woke up as Lavinia Devereux, the infamous villainess princess of the Elarion Empire. She knows how this story ends: she’ll drink poison and die. A painless, easy death. So why bother changing fate? Villainy, revenge, redemption—sounds like way too much work. She decides to do absolutely nothing and let the story play out. But her terrifying father, Emperor Cassius Devereux, won’t ignore her like he’s supposed to. He watches her, questions her, and—worst of all—starts acting like he actually cares. Lavinia just wanted a quiet villainess retirement… so why does everything keep changing?

The ordinary world is not what it seems. Many strange events unfold in the background but go unnoticed by the masses or are covered up. A supernatural world exists along with the natural world which can only be seen by those called Balancers. Spirits and Evil Spirits exist along with Balancers who possess unique powers to see and fight them. Among the many ordinary humans, a girl undergoes a lot of suffering and experiences a prophetic vision. It grants her knowledge of the hidden world and of some future events. The girl loses almost everything she has and then takes the steps needed to become a Balance Breaker. Her past identity has to be abandoned for the sake of survival so she renamed herself Ash. Ash gains the powers of a Skin-Walker and begins living in such a world taking on the appearances of others, experiencing their lives and living under the mask of another person.

Waking up as Seraphina Voss—the most hated villainess in the novel I read—was not how I planned to start my morning. Last I checked, I was alive, unemployed, and definitely not engaged to the cold, brooding Duke Killian Aldridge. But here I am, in a world of magic, curses, and suspiciously good-looking men, stuck in the body of a woman doomed to die in the most spectacularly humiliating way possible. Well, not on my watch. No more evil plots, no more throwing wine in people’s faces (okay, maybe just once), and absolutely no trying to sabotage the heroine. My only goal? Avoid getting executed. Simple, right? Wrong. For some reason, Duke Killian Aldridge—my so-called fiancé who was supposed to hate me—is suddenly watching my every move like I’m the most interesting thing in the kingdom. The heroine is acting weirdly friendly. And my magic? Yeah, it just tried to set someone’s hair on fire. I was supposed to be rewriting my fate… so why does it feel like the story is going off-script?

Kim Eun-Ji is a college student with a passion for otome games, but one game in particular has always frustrated her: Saintess Chronicles. In the game, the villainess, Selene Ravencroft, is always sentenced to death, while the flawless Saintess Eri is glorified. Despite playing through all the possible routes, Eun-Ji can never change Selene's tragic fate. Her sympathy for the misunderstood villainess and her disdain for the seemingly perfect Eri grows with every playthrough. One morning, after finishing the game yet again and angrily complaining about its unfair ending, Eun-Ji realizes she’s late for class. In her rush, she’s tragically hit by a runaway truck and dies. She wakes up to find herself reincarnated inside the world of Saintess Chronicles—not as a random side character, but as the villainess, Selene Ravencroft, on the day of her gift awakening! Now, Eun-Ji now as Selene Ravencroft must try her best to survive at all costs but for some reason the plot keeps continuing despite her making changes.

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.

Beatrice Da Ville was meant to be the villainess. Arrogant, cruel, and doomed to die. But when a 21st-century woman wakes up in her body, she refuses to meet that fate. Avoiding execution should have been simple: keep her head down, stay out of trouble, and let the story run its course. But the world refuses to let her disappear. The nobles are always whispering about her, the royal family won’t leave her alone, and worst of all—the cold, calculating Crown Prince keeps watching her like he knows she’s up to something. But the deeper she gets entangled in the kingdom’s growing tensions, the more she realizes something terrifying. This story was never just about the heroine and villainess. And if she’s not careful, she won’t just die. She’ll play right into the ending that was always meant for her. If the script won’t let her live, then she’ll just have to rewrite it herself.

The famous German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel wakes up one day straight from the harsh and unforgiving desert front of North Africa to a noble girl's bedroom as the girl herself. Now how will things turn out for him or her?

I was Lady Valentina Avington, the beautiful, wicked, and narcissistic villainess of a novel. When I recalled memories of my past life, I decided I wanted everything the heroine had. Using my knowledge of the future, I became a fake saint, the successor to my house, the future queen, and won over the male leads. When the novel began, all I had to do was dispose of the female lead. Yet nothing was as it seemed, and before I knew it, my perfect facade fell to pieces. “You’re not who I thought you were.” “I despise you, Sister.” “It’s revolting to even look at you.” Call it ambition or greed, I would get what I wanted, by any means necessary. No matter the cost, I would definitely win. No need to like me, I have no excuses. Will you be cheering for my downfall, like the rest of them? *** Updates weekly.

Priest Alexander, how good is your printing? Princess Vivian said seductively with only a piece of white clothing that covered little to none of her sinful body. Alexander was shocked by the sight in front of him, looking at the woman who was one of the most beautiful, No! She’s the most beautiful woman in the Empire, but because she never made an attempt to dress up so nobody has ever seen her shine this brightly. Now looking at her with water dripping from her body like the sea pearl, her flamboyant red hair like that of burning fire, and her perfectly seductive body still wet and still carrying the freshness of a rose petals shower. Looking at the way she is wet from head to toe with the room filled with the scent of rose with water dripping from her body, gives a kind of allure that makes it hard for any man to resist her. She’s currently looking like a seductress, No!, She’s a seductress because she’s currently doing what is seductress does, seducing a priest. Vivian had an heart disease since the day she was born, since she was young, she spent most of her life lying on the hospital bed, denying her the joy of living like every other normal child. The only way for her to escape the reality that haunts her and the pain she goes through is by reading novels, watching movies, and following celebrity gossip on social media, but what becomes of Vivian when she suddenly dies from over-excitement and is transmigrated into a novel as her favorite character who was the villainess, and probably the most naïve and innocent villainess ever.

Ann, a corporate slave in the modern life, suddenly couldn't resist her body's drowsiness and fell asleep after working non-stop for... who-knows-how-long. Her sleep wasn't a good one as she was overly worried she wouldn't be able to finish her work. When she finally woke up, she was greatly shocked. An unknown room, an unknown man with his icy expression, and moreover, the man addressed her as "Arlea", and not "Ann". And then she finally realized. She somehow ended up in the body of "Arlea"-a villainess in the fantasy/romance novel she had read in the past, when she still had free time to relax. To make things worse, she remembered that in the next one year, she-Arlea-was fated to die. 'In such a situation, what should I do?' 'Let's think seriously of a way to overturn the situation?' 'But hold on, what if I can't change the scenario? Why bother?' Having lived her days in the modern life as a serious and restrained woman who became a corporate slave to her death, Ann finally decided... to spend her additional 365 days to live freely as she likes! ------- Note: - Just like my other book, I'm posting this novel mainly in my site (convallariaslibrary.com). - If you'd like to support this book and gain access to advanced chapter(s), you can go to: patreon.com/ConvallariasLibrary, for one-time donation go to: https://ko-fi.com/A1864CG3 - Join my Discord server and discuss this series with other readers: discord.gg/ty5tZEz

On the night of her 23rd birthday, Isla Tang is swept into the dark, icy depths of the ocean during a storm on a luxury cruise.

For some reason I reincarnated as a character that never existed and my mother is the crazy villainess from the novel. The main leads and my mothers family sent her to a mental hospital that did experiments on her.

A woman, doomed to live the life of a fantasy romance novels villainess again and again. Decides that this life she will simply be lazy, allow the story to drag her where it may However, the other main characters are acting rather strange this time around. They simply will not leave her to laze about in peace. This is my first book, and also incredibly self indulgent. Created mostly for my own enjoyment. Featuring: an mc who gives no fucks, obsessive male leads, and gratuitous use of fantasy tropes. What more can a gall ask for. (There is no weird sibling stuff, and there is very little of the miscommunication trope. Mostly because I personally dislike that sort of thing.)

The world was destroyed. Just like the last two times, he failed to protect anything—not his master, not this world. Yuri had already regressed twice, yet the result remained the same. His master died by his hands once more. This time, he thought it was truly the end. No more extra lifelines. But he was wrong. [Ding!] A familiar blue holographic screen appeared before him—just like before. The moment he saw it, he realized. [Please make your choice.] [Choice 1] Return to the past and save the world. Reward: Third chance. (2/3) [Choice 2] Accept destruction. Reward: Rest. No matter what he chose, this would be the last. But Yuri had already decided. This time, he swore to protect his master—his Young Lady. [You have chosen Option 1.] [You seize the final chance.] [The second round has ended.] [The third life begins.] [All opportunities have been exhausted.] [Further regression is impossible.] And so, the Final Game of Life begins.

**2025 WSA Participant** She was meant to fade into the background—until she rewrote the ending. Delphia Vosswell was supposed to be a forgotten side character in someone else’s happily-ever-after. Cast aside by her fiancé, ridiculed by the court, and labeled a villainess, her future was meant to be one of quiet disgrace. But when a woman from another world awakens in Delphia’s body, everything changes. Armed with sharp intellect and a will of steel, she refuses to be a footnote in someone else’s story. With wit, charm, and careful strategy, the new Delphia begins to reclaim her name—and reshape the world around her. Yet as she carves a new path for herself, one man complicates everything. Archmage Zypher Thorne—clever, unreadable, and unexpectedly kind—sees through the masks she wears. What begins as a wary alliance deepens into something far more dangerous: a bond she hadn’t planned for, and a tenderness that threatens to unravel her carefully guarded heart. But love was never part of her plan… and neither were the forces working against her from the shadows. In a world of secrets, masks, and manipulation, Delphia must decide what she’s truly willing to risk—not just for power, but for something far more fragile: trust.
