📖 Story Overview: A Villainess Possessed, A Heroine Betrayed

The protagonist, Emi Kobayashi, is an ordinary girl who loves otome games. One day, she wakes up inside her favorite game Maiden of the Stars and the Savior Knight, having become Remilia, the game’s infamous villainess noblewoman.

To avoid both the world’s destruction and her own downfall, Emi works hard to alter Remilia’s fate. Despite her efforts, she is framed by the game’s heroine—also a reincarnated soul known as the Maiden of the Stars—for plotting murder and has her engagement cruelly broken off.

The emotional trauma causes Emi to collapse… and from within, Remilia’s original self, who had quietly observed all along, awakens. Fueled by a desire to protect the kind-hearted Emi, Remilia vows to exact revenge on the prince and the deceitful heroine who betrayed her.
