Kissing the Villain
By @john1208
Vivienne LaRoux, once the infamous villainess of the popular otome game 'Astoria Academy,' jolts awake not in her lavish estate, but in a mundane college dorm. The twist? She's *actually* inside the game, and the beloved "hero" is a lurking psychopath. Armed with her perfect meta-knowledge – every hidden route, character stat, and plot trigger – Vivienne, now a walking walkthrough guide, knows the only way to avert a catastrophic ending is to make the game's cold, misunderstood "villain" fall for her. Navigating Astoria's enchanted ballrooms, treacherous dueling arenas, and clockwork plot events, Vivienne treats her life-or-death mission with dramatic flair and hilariously genre-savvy wit. Beneath her strategic brilliance and theatrical antics lies a surprisingly tender heart, determined to save herself and her unlikely target from a fate worse than a bad game ending.
