**Introduction**
Tullia was beautiful.
Her personality was completely corrupt.
This means she was evil.
A model of villainy in that wherever she walked, all that awaited her was bloody drowning.
If there's something less common about Tulia Fraser, it's that she's not a villain from a novel, but from a game. This is the only thing…
I never expected that something else would be added now.
Why on earth did I wake up as a gorgeous piece of trash.
* * *
My original name was Han Ina.
Han Ina's life can be summed up in just one line.
Ruined lives.
My already troubled life began to really unravel after my mother and stepfather died one by one.
I never expected that my older brothers, who shared no blood with me but were legally related to me as siblings, would make such a strange suggestion.
“Arranged meeting. I was twenty-two at the time.”
It has not even been six months since we held their funeral.
Only son of a business partner, etc. I didn't even hear those words.
What's the point if his parents have money?
He was 17 years older than me, and already had a record of two divorces.
My older brothers, who had forced this type of marriage on me once they had destroyed the inherited family business, were disgusted.
When I asked them to marry him themselves if that was the right match, I got slapped.
When I suggested that they arrange a meeting with the older sister because she was a better age match for her, I was kicked out of the house.
Fortunately, I was able to find a decent studio apartment right away, and while I was living on my own and balancing a part-time job, studying, and preparing for a job search, one day.
I played that game as usual.
Why did that young woman give bread to the handsome man?
Abbreviated to.
It was an amazing game that became hugely popular as soon as it was released, and even after several years, it remains firmly at the top of the store's rankings.
– The young half-blood enters as a potential daughter-in-law to the Grand Duke's house. Improve your stats to gain the trust of family and male leaders! Strength and love me!
Don't they say classic is the best?
This game, which combines character development and romance, has a solid and established fan base thanks to its gorgeous graphics, diverse plot hooks, and large size.
It was also a game I'd been playing on and off for several years.
“If I had some money, I would buy all of these endings and watch them right away.”
As with any other game, the game allowed you to see the different endings easily and instantly if you spent money.
But for me, who was strapped for cash even on monthly rent, spending real money was just a luxury. I choose to spend my time playing the game.
Thanks to that, I ended up playing for a long time, but it wasn't particularly boring.
Since there were easily hundreds of illustrations prepared, it was a lot of fun to see the faces of the supporting characters.
Lately, I've been obsessed with the pink-haired villainess.
When she first appeared, I just thought she was like the other characters and her face was pretty and charming.
But the more I play the game, the more I realize that this girl is truly hopeless.
She was completely overwhelmed by her superiority, and tortured the protagonist, who was born illegitimate, in various ways. Her methods were extremely ferocious and vile.
Whenever the Grand Duke Grandfather cared for the heroine and trusted her like his granddaughter, or whenever the male leaders loved the heroine, she would always appear to torture or try to kill her.
“How many deaths are expected for this girl?”
I've been playing the game for many years already, but this was the first time I'd seen a drawing of her dying with a sword through her chest.
Execution by guillotine, drinking from a poisoned chalice, being pushed off a cliff, being hit by a cart and death.
I thought she already died a lot with these things.
As I got closer to the villain's face, which had a particularly psychotic expression.
-Game over
“What?”
Why did the game suddenly appear?
Even though I didn't launch anything, when the game suddenly stopped and the [Game Over] message appeared, I panicked and grabbed my phone properly.
But the phone didn't move at all. The phone, which completely stopped responding while displaying the words “Game Over,” was as eerie as a movie prop.
“Thank God I will be taking time off tomorrow from my part-time job...”
I thought I should go to the repair center as soon as I woke up, and I slept as usual, but….
I did not see the sun the next day.
Somehow, after they found out about my studio apartment, Big Sister and Big Brother came in the middle of the night and forcefully put me in their car.
Ina. The CEO's son saw your Instagram account. He says he likes you very much.
Either persuasion.
“He said you look so pure, different from girls these days?”
Or persuade.
How selfish you are! What would we do if all the company's deals were lost because of you?
Or a threat.
It was a night of heavy rain, and the inside of the car was not a quiet place due to the screaming from the fighting.
“…!”
My last memories were the body of the car sliding on the wet road, my body tilted, and the screams of my older brothers and sisters as they desperately gripped the steering wheel.
And then everything went completely black.
How much time has passed?
When I opened my eyes again and ran to the mirror, I had no choice but to scream.
Sharp eyes that do not match the beauty of her face. That crazy villain who made dozens of illustrations of death.
Because Tulia Fraser has become like me!
** Chapter One **
So, I was reading a lot in internet novels about people dying and then having characters in the works, or going back in time.
“If you were going to do this, you could have given me the regression instead!”
I ground my teeth.
If that had happened, I would have dealt with my older sister and brothers' bullshit more firmly and intelligently.
No, I would have preferred to go back further and cry to my mother, and ask her if she could live with me instead of getting married again….
'Never mind.'
What is the benefit of this kind of thinking now?
What's important now is the reality in front of me.
If there is anything lucky, it is that all of Tulia's memories from her birth came to me naturally.
Thanks to that, even in this astonishing situation, I was able to comprehend the situation before long.
“I am fifteen years old now.”
I looked at the painting hanging next to the bed.
This painting was sent by the Marquis Fraser, Tullia's father, as her last birthday present.
Marquis Fraser, currently stationed on the border where the barbarians were, would send a small plaque every year on Tullia's birthday, which allowed me to know my exact age.
[Tulia Fraser's 15th birthday.]
The plaque contains only a careless inscription, without any words of congratulations or the common phrase “I love you.”
“Marquis Fraser despises Tullia after all.”
After the Marquis's wife died in an accident while eloping with her first love, Marquis Fraser left the castle and headed to the borders of the Empire.
As if fighting barbarians was the best, he had not shown his face to Tulia even once in several years.
The only gift the Marquis Fraser sent for Tullia's birthday every year was that cheap painting.
And what's more…
“He barely sends any money for child support, either.”
That's why Tullia grew up in such poverty before resorting to all kinds of evil deeds.
Her father is the Marquis Fraser, and her grandfather is none other than Grand Duke Fraser, the only Grand Duke of the Empire.
In other words, Tullia is the granddaughter of the Grand Duke.
Of course, you will not receive any affection. This is dedicated to Kuriko, the heroine of this game, not Tullia.
“It was necessary to see the good endings after all.”
There's a reason why hero boosts exist, right?
Due to temple politics, Kuriko enters as a potential daughter-in-law to the Grand Duke's house and easily wins the family's love depending on the choices made.
Even Grand Duke Fraser, who finds him difficult to deal with and scary for his children, becomes only kind and helpful towards Kuriko, treating her like a true granddaughter.
The only ones who continue to view Kuriko as illegitimate are several of the supporting minor characters and Tullia.
“In addition, Tullia was already famous in high society as a person with a corrupt character.”
Tullia, who could not leave alone what she could not have.
And Tullia, who had strong feelings of inferiority towards her beloved Kuriko.
“Crazy Tullia.”
No wait, now I'm Tulia, so I'm the crazy one...
Tullia constantly tortures Koriko and is subjected to punishment in various ways.
However, Tullia's ending, from the game's protagonist's point of view, was merely the defeat of the villain's leader.
Sometimes it was men who killed Tullia, other times it was people from the house of Grand Duke Fraser.
In some endings, Kuriko couldn't take it anymore and directly beheaded Tulia with an axe.
I personally think this ending was the most satisfying and refreshing.
Until the day came.
“Was it really necessary for them to kill her in such different ways...”
But there seems to be no law that says I have to die this way.
Considering how old and humble the bedroom furniture and fixtures were, it was as if I had been a resident before Tullia resorted to evil deeds.
If anything, that was lucky.
Tullia was a noble young lady down to her bones, so she couldn't bear this kind of life and became dark, but I'm different.
After my mother remarried, I took care of myself almost entirely on my own.
“I was a little embarrassed to be able to join that family and have a warm dinner together.”
Neither my mother nor my stepfather were petty people to make me feel unwelcome during meals.
But even when I made excuses about the study room or whatever and had dinner out of it seven times a week, they never minded.
Not once.
“…”
However, the store-bought cup noodles, triangle kimbap, and bagels were acceptable enough that they could be interchanged, even if they became boring.
“I studied hard back then and got into a good university as well.”
I've received a lot of compliments too.
That was enough, wasn't it?
Anyway, even if Tulia's living expenses are minimal, I can afford it!
* * *
“No, I can't stand this.”
The next day, early in the morning.
I clutched my head in despair.
