'When people discovered they transmigrated into villains or born into villainy households in books, they either stray away from the family only to mess up or actively curry favor to powerful people. Why can't they just chill and accept it?' This is what Gina always thought when reading online novels on the internet.
Well, it's also what she's been thinking when she discovers herself to transmigrate in action, fantasy, historical, and sci-fi mash-up novel she's been reading. Not us a heroine nor the novel's saintess (which sometimes happen) but as a full-time villainess.
But did Gina care? Of course, but she's not fretting or something, instead, she's quite eager. Nothing is more exciting than seeing a fantasy-action-sci-fi book being acted up with real people, doesn't it?
The novel Gina has been reading(and was currently in) was a noir one, titled 'The Angel of the Black Street'. With such an unassuming title, people often mistake it as a romance book, but they're wrong. Gina planned to drop it if it wasn't interesting, but who would have known that she was so hooked that she read it without stopping until the other day?
The body Gina was possessing is one of the main villains of the 'Upheaval' arc of the novel, Gina Varsel, belonging to the Neutral Duchy of Varsel. It just happened that this is Gina's favorite villainess. Unfortunately, Gina Varsel died in the novel while blinding one eye of the main male lead and killing one of the side male lead. (Which is cool in Gina's opinion.)

'The Angel of the Black Street' is a story centered around the female lead, Angela Kaylan, daughter of Duke Kaylan and belonging to the Kaylan Duchy.
The story started when Angela, who was checking out the five other duchies to see how they are operated, visited the Varsel's Duchy last. Fueled by curiosity and the warning of her parents, Angela decided to dig deeper at the Varsel's Duchy. (Which is just the protagonist being nosy, in Gina's opinion.)
Angela visited the most troublesome and most dangerous city in the Varsel's Duchy, the Black Street City, in which Gina Varsel is the 'operator'.
The Gina Varsel at that time was nothing short of a murderous psychopath. Among the Varsel family members, she was operating the most problematic city with an iron hand.
Angela and Gina met in an illegal human auction. Angela, knowing the faces of the six duchy's members, (stupidly) confronted Gina's action on how she operated. She berated on morality and compassion, which irritated Gina Varsel to no end.
Gina Varsel then decided to kidnap Angela Kaylan and show what the real world is like in the city. She showed how dark can a human's heart be in the female lead's face. The reason why she's one of the readers' favorite villainess is that she warped the heroine's principle of kindness and compassion.
When Gina Varsel almost succeeded in making Angela her beloved 'ally', the group of the male lead and the side male leads disrupted her plans. The male lead met the female lead in a magi-arms smuggle and rescued her as per her brother's request. Gina Varsel, enraged that her beloved toy was snatched, decided that it was time for a hunt.
It was then the start of the 'Upheaval' arc. Like any villainess in a story, Gina Varsel was defeated, but not without a sacrifice on the protagonists' side. Gina Varsel took down the third male lead of the story and blinded the left eye of the male lead by manifesting a mana needle. The action on that arc was so good that the readers requested for Gina Varsel to live and haunt the protagonists again, Unfortunately, the author denied that wish, and Gina Varsel died at the hands of Angela, the one who she brainwashed.

"Miss, you're ready." The maid backed down and bowed.
"Thank you, Rosalina."
Gina snapped out of her reverie and stared at 'her' new reflection in the silver mirror. Bluish-purple feline-like eyes, curly purple, and pink hair. Porcelain white skin, red lips, and high nose bridge. Such a fluffy-looking child was actually a future psychopath.
'Gina Varsel. I am now Gina Varsel. This is kind of fun.'
A smile crept into Gina's red lips, 'Being a villainess? No worries, for I know how to act like one.'
