Plot
I recovered my past memories when I was hit on the head by a rock. I am Katarina Claes, the eight-year-old daughter of the duke. In a feverish nightmare, during which I became the prince’s fiancee, I have realized that this is an otome game from my previous life. Also, I’ve turned into the villainess that interfered with the romance of the capture targets… If the heroine got a happy end, I would be exiled, while if she got a bad end, I would be killed by the capture target… I have no happy end!? Why is it only bad!? Somehow I have to avoid the destruction end, and reach old age peacefully!!
