S-Class Villainess Keeps the Wrong Crown

Jaeryeon opened her eyes to the smell of dust, ink, and her own old death. The villainess route in the otome game she once played snapped back into place in her head, complete with the heroine, the capture targets, the doom flags, and the academy rankings that decided who rose and who was erased. She had already died once here, which made every smile around her look like a blade waiting to move. The worst part sat in a locked locker drawer: a competition result printed wrong six years ago, the lie that built careers nobody could now return. Jaeryeon decides to use that lie, not fix it, and her cold plan starts pulling dangerous people closer.
