Beatrice had been living as the daughter of a duke, engaged to the prince of the kingdom... but all that changed after she witnessed him in bed with another woman. However, this was exactly what Lady Beatrice needed. She had wanted to break off this engagement for the longest time. She could use this to seek an audience with the king to do exactly that... except the prince seems to have beaten her to it and set things up to appear as though she is the one who has committed adultery.

I am “Villainess Belita” from a romance fantasy novel. I’ve possessed the body of a character destined for a gruesome death—one who stalks the male lead, torments the female lead, and meets a tragic end. If I want to survive, there’s only one solution: call off the engagement with the male lead before the novel begins and leave this city. After meticulous planning, I succeeded in ending the engagement and secured a diamond mine as alimony. …I thought I was finally safe— But then came the shocking news that the male and female leads had broken up. The male lead, who used to despise me, confesses his love, the female lead looks up to me like a savior, and the man who was originally destined to kill me is now flirting with me. Even a character who didn’t exist in the original story says he’ll risk his life for me. But even though the original story has turned into such a mess… what’s with this unfairness where only the events driving me to my death are still unfolding as planned? In this chaotic mess of the original story, will I… be able to survive? (Source: KakaoPage, translated)
