Villainess Is A Marionette

I did nothing with my entire life. Literally nothing. Then I died — not saving a cat from a tree heroically, not even struck by Truck-kun — but of a heart attack caused by a BL manga confession scene. Pitiful? Perhaps. When I begged for a second chance, the gods listened. Or at least, they jeered at me. Instead of returning as a mighty sorcerer or a spoiled heiress, I found myself as a young woman with awful vision in some obscure nobleman's manor house. My eyesight is so poor I can hardly recognize faces. I trip, blink, and consistently confuse people with chairs (and vice versa). But here's the kicker: I've been reborn as the young stepmother of a future villainess — a child who will grow up to be the "evil empress" in a bestselling romance novel that I used to detest. And so, with only my half-working eyes, shreds of memory, and sheer obstinacy, I'm going to do something — anything — other than waste this life. Whether that is steering my evil stepdaughter, making it through treacherous noble schemes, or just learning how to walk straight without crashing into a wall. I've got my chance now. And this time, I won't let it slide through my fuzzy fingers.

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>Daily updates 3 chapters, 4 chapters during weekends ( ˶°ㅁ°) !!

Seira thought her life was already over. As a wife bound to a man who knew how to twist love into control, she spent years giving up pieces of herself, her freedom, and her dreams. She didn’t fall apart overnight. It happened over the years... years of making herself smaller, quieter, more convenient. Years of handing over bits of herself to someone who only knew how to take. He didn’t want a partner. He wanted control. And she let him have it. Her time, her choices, her energy, and even control over when she should speak. She thought it was easier than bracing for another argument, another cold shoulder, another quiet punishment. She learned to make herself small. To not take up space. To silence the parts of her that once laughed too loud or dreamed too big. But then came the tragedy. It broke her. Then it broke her open. And that’s when it happened. Death came for her. But so did something else. A second chance. Not in the world she knew, but in another one entirely... one with magic, kingdoms, and rules she didn’t understand. A place where her name wasn’t hers anymore. Where fate had already written her as the villainess. She is Valerie Goldstein now. A name she didn’t recognize at first, until she realized where she was.... "Hearts of Alora." a romance fantasy novel she had barely skimmed once out of boredom. Valerie was the villainess. The cold, sharp-tongued noblewoman who made life hell for the gentle heroine. She was never meant to win. And the heroine? She looked exactly like Alona. Seira hadn’t seen Alona in years... not since everything fell apart. But here she was again, blonde and saintly and adored by all, playing the role of the chosen one. And Seira? She was the one the world hated on sight. The role she was given didn’t fit, but the system kept nudging her toward cruelty. Orders popped up like warnings: Ruin this. Humiliate that. Break their heart. But she couldn’t. Wouldn’t. She chose not to follow the script. And strangely, it made the world around her shift. The people who were supposed to hate her started to linger and speak to her. Watch her like they saw something different... something not written into the story. She wasn’t trying to win them over. She was just trying to survive. To figure out who she was outside of what the world told her to be. And then the system dropped something new. A line of text that made her stomach drop. Another person has entered this world. Identity: Unknown. Role: One of the nine love interests. Warning: Possible threat. Possible identity match: Maximilian Cortez. Her ex-husband. The man who’d broken her. The man who might now be one of the love interests in this cursed story. But if she’d already lived through one life pretending to be something she wasn’t… maybe this time, she could rewrite everything.

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.

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]

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?’

> Genre: Fantasy, Comedy, Yuri (slow-burn) I was just trying to finish a good book... not get reincarnated into it. After binge-reading a twenty-four-volume fantasy epic without sleep, I died and woke up as Celia Averna—a spoiled noble girl and third-rate villainess who gets kicked out of the story before the real plot begins. She was meant to be a footnote. A joke. But this Celia has one advantage: she’s read the entire novel. Now armed with meta knowledge, sarcasm, and no plot armor whatsoever, I’m rewriting fate one step at a time. Surviving a magical academy, avoiding doom flags, and possibly—accidentally—stealing the heroine’s spotlight? Bring it on. After all, who says a background villainess can’t be the main character?

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?!

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!

#NoCP === English Original Title: "The Crazy Uncle-Master Went on a Killing Spree, and the Whole Sect Was Burned to Death!"

The male lead who personally crushed her bones and ashes. And the sect that raised her? Complicit in her family's massacre. Reborn with the knowledge of her past life, the Three Lives Mirror warns her: "To survive, you must whitewash your image and beg for the protagonists' favor." Song Wanníng smiles. Whitewash?

The Heavenly Dao favors the protagonists with blatant, unfair luck, but Song Wanníng? She doesn't need luck. She has wrath. And this time, she'll make sure everyone burns with her.

"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?
