“Stupid side characters should just stay side characters.” The words echoed through Hina Aizawa’s mind as she stood silently in the crowded train station. A few minutes earlier, her manager had humiliated her in front of everyone at work again. Nobody defended her. Nobody cared. Just like always. Hina lowered her head tiredly and tightened her grip on the romance manga hidden inside her bag. The only place she ever felt alive was inside those fictional worlds. Especially when villainesses appeared. Beautiful. Confident. Powerful. The kind of women who could make an entire room tremble with one smile. “They’re so much cooler than heroines…” Hina muttered quietly. Unlike herself. She was just ordinary.

And reflected in the giant mirror before her was the face of the most infamous villainess in the entire empire. Hina stared at the reflection in complete shock. “…Wait.” Her heartbeat quickened violently. “…Am I reincarnated?”
