When she loses consciousness, she sees a prophetic dream of her future execution as a great criminal. However, at the same time, Lucille regains memories of her past life—as Lilybell, the world's most beloved cat—and decides to enjoy her engagement life with Felix, the cursed marquis who has closed off his heart. "According to my prophetic dream, Felix's destined heroine will appear? Hehe, isn't that wonderful?" With her naturally super-positive personality and abilities inherited from her past owners—a great witch, a century-old alchemist, a hero, and others—she gradually begins to save those around her. The secrets of her past owners are eventually revealed. And what is the true nature of the curse Felix carries...? Reading this will surely make you feel more positive too. A heartwarming romantic comedy about a former villainess navigating her (temporary) engagement life!! Original Web Novel: [Shousetsuka ni Narou](https://ncode.syosetu.com/n0729hx/)
