On one spring evening when I was eight years old, I, Erica, Duke of Aurelia’s daughter, realized something. Huh, I have reincarnated into a fantasy world, haven’t I? Moreover, it was the romance-fantasy girl game that had the reputation of being bloody, 『Liber Monstrorum ~Phantom Beasts and the Winter Princess~』 The face reflected in the mirror was that of the villainess character of that game. After repeatedly harassing many characters, including the heroine, she would die without exception, signaling the beginning of an event called the bizarre incident. She was a villain who deserved to get the consequences! —I absolutely don’t want a destiny like that, though? No, since I have remembered the memory of my previous life, I will make sure that kind of thing does not happen. In my previous life, I was harassed immensely by an irrationally angry yandere man who thought I was in love with him. My cause of death, too, was from being stabbed by another yandere man who I only had talked with a few times… Now that I have become the haughty villainess Erica, I shouldn’t encounter more misunderstandings like with the previous life’s yandere men anymore, right…? In that case, it will be fine as long as I deal with the death flags that I may have raised myself. All right! First of all, before the bizarre incident begins at the Magic Academy, I will strike down the death flags accordingly!! —Or so I thought, but it seems that I am about to die. Eeh, how did this happen—!?

Lady Francesca, on one fateful day, recalled that the world she lives in is in fact the world of an [otome game where the men of the underworld were the capture targets] and that she was a heroine of that world. But the problem was……… “……..I.!! even in my past life in Japan, was the [grandaughter of a yakuza boss]!?!” Her life was in danger everyday, and forget romance, even making normal friends was impossible in her past life. “If I were to reincarnate, I want to be part of normal family this time! Also I want to make friends!!” She was sure she had wished so, yet…….. “I will never abandon you even if you are a villain.” The moral code she had been raised in during her past life, was driving her actions even now. In this game’s main story, the main villain was her own fiancé, Leonardo. That villain was destined to bring chaos to Francesca’s daily life.

Francesca, while being doted on by her fiancé, she continued to aim for a “peaceful and normal life”. (*And fail at it) Note; Cover Image from the manga adaptation. #AkuMana
