"Ah, pain!"
My body feels heavy.
It hurts so much!
My head is spinning and spinning. I'm sweating bullets.
What's happening to me? Am I dying?
I don't want this…
...
...
Boom!
Xu Yuying jolted awake, sitting up in bed. She looked at her hands, her feet, her body.
She was fine—but something felt different.
"My breasts… Are they bigger?" Xu Yuying grabbed her chest with both hands, and without thinking, gave them a squeeze.
Once. Twice. Three squeezes.
"They are bigger..." Xu Yuying raised an eyebrow, confusion written all over her face.
She scanned the room around her. It wasn't luxurious—on the contrary, it was the exact opposite.
It was in terrible shape. Everything was a mess, the walls were scratched up as if someone had been hitting them.
Xu Yuying was even more confused. This wasn't her room. She didn't recognize this place at all.
"Ah!" Xu Yuying clutched her head. A sharp pain struck her suddenly, like someone was bashing her skull with a hammer—mercilessly.
She groaned, gritting her teeth to keep from screaming. And then, something flooded her mind: memories.
After a few minutes, the pain faded—but something even worse took its place.
"No... It can't be." Xu Yuying jumped out of bed as fast as she could, desperately searching the room for a mirror.
When her eyes landed on one in the corner, she rushed over and pulled off the thin cloth draped over it—and what she saw horrified her.
"Lunaria Velhart..." Standing in front of the mirror was a stunning beauty. Her porcelain-white skin contrasted with her long, jet-black hair, cascading like a waterfall down to her waist. Her crimson eyes, cold and sharp, looked as if they could devour you.
Xu Yuying backed away from the mirror and began pacing in circles, panicked.
Why did she have this woman's face? The thought overwhelmed her as she walked in a frenzy.
Lunaria Velhart. The villainess of the otome game she had been playing before she fainted. Lunaria was the antagonist in the game "The Villainess's Kiss." And what was her role?
To be madly in love with the heroine. Lunaria had an obsessive love for the game's heroine: Selene de Valemont.
Lunaria was the daughter of a traitorous duke who, once exposed, had all his wealth stripped from him, leaving his family in ruins.
Even so, Lunaria was accepted into the Morenti Magic Academy thanks to her incredible magical talent.
She enrolled hoping to turn her life around, but as the daughter of a traitor, everyone treated her with scorn. They didn't bully her outright—Lunaria wasn't weak—but that didn't stop them from stealing her books or doing other cruel things.
She endured it all alone, until she met the heroine. Selene didn't care that Lunaria was the daughter of a traitor—she knew she had nothing to do with it. She accepted her, treated her like no one else ever had, and eventually...
Lunaria fell in love with her.
Selene, who had no romantic interest in women, had no choice but to make things clear. A clarification Lunaria didn't take well.
She lost her mind. Kidnapped her. And that was how the game ended.
"I can't be in this psycho's body!" Xu Yuying stomped her foot in frustration. She hated Lunaria!
She had even written several negative reviews about how the story had unfolded.
"Wait…" Was she now stuck in one of those clichés where the author sends you into the game after you criticize it?
"This is all my fault!" Xu Yuying buried her face in her hands, holding back the urge to scream.
Not only had this happened against her will—she had been sent into the worst possible character in the entire game.
Xu Yuying wished she could go back in time and delete that review. It's not like she hated the idea of being inside a game world—not like she was all that attached to her previous life—but...
She didn't want to be in this game!
Xu Yuying walked back to the bed and laid down. In situations like this, one must keep a cool head, she thought.
She played with her fingers. They were slim... but covered in calluses.
She looked over her body until her eyes landed on her wrists. Xu Yuying couldn't help but sigh and feel... pity, maybe.
Lunaria had self-inflicted scars. It wasn't a surprise—her character profile had mentioned that she would do it as a way to cope with the deep loneliness she felt, especially after her family was torn apart.
Xu Yuying raised her hand.
"Looks like I have no choice but to live this life now..." Xu Yuying had made up her mind. She would live as Lunaria Velhart—but she wouldn't be her.
"I'll avoid the heroine at all costs!" Xu Yuying smirked—or at least she thought she did, as Lunaria's face remained completely expressionless.
Just as Xu Yuying was about to fall asleep after making her decision, the last thing she expected happened…
A cliché.
