This anthology collects multiple short stories where characters who have been labeled “villainess” in various otome-game or fantasy plots refuse to sit back and accept their doom-flag fate. Instead, they flip their scripts by clever, bold, or outright outrageous tactics to seize agency, reverse their fortunes, and often make those who wronged them pay—sometimes with a side-serving of poetic justice.
Pairing: Kageyama x Hinata KageHina have been dating for a while, but Kageyama seems unsatisfied. He feels like he's *losing* in their relationship and goes to strange lengths to get the upper hand.
*"From now on, you are my temporary fiancée."* Emilia, the daughter of a poor viscount's family, is shy when it comes to romance and works hard at her side job of embroidery. Suddenly, a blind date comes her way. Her prospective groom is a beastman nobleman, a count. And a black rabbit at that?! She thought he'd be the cute type from the sound of it, but it turns out he's actually a beastman gentleman who's a top-class martial artist and herbivorous animal... Overwhelmed by his momentum, Emilia is marked with a "marriage proposal mark" and becomes his temporary fiancée...?! (Source: Ichijinsha, translated)
