Villains Are Destined to Die
You think you know your favorite otome game inside and out, but what if you woke up *inside* it, as the despised villainess Penelope Eckhart, doomed to die? One moment, you’re just a devoted gamer, obsessed with the thrilling romance of "Daughter of the Duke’s House." The next, you're living Penelope's tragic reality, stuck in "Hard Mode" where every male lead – from her cold-hearted "brothers," Derrick and Reynold, to the terrifying Crown Prince Callisto, the loyal slave Eclise, and the enigmatic magician Winter – sees you as nothing but a nuisance, if not a target. Every single choice, every interaction, is a perilous gamble with a "death ending" lurking around every corner, be it by a royal sword or an unsuspecting fork. Penelope’s only desire is to survive this cruel game, to desperately raise those dreaded affection meters, or find some elusive "reset button" before her time runs out. But with a world actively conspiring against her, can her wits and insider knowledge truly rewrite her tragic fate? Or is this villainess, no matter how hard she fights, truly destined to die?
