The Lazy Heiress and Her Possessive Calamity
By @john1208
I just wanted a quiet life of naps and theoretical spell-crafting. Instead, I woke up as Ovidia Halamar, the arrogant villainess of *The Ashen Crown*. My first order of business? Sabotaging my own betrothal gala to the Crown Prince. My second? Funneling my vast fortune into rare glacial lotuses and runic silks for Zesiro Velt. In the original plot, Zesiro is the ostracized, cursed prodigy destined to slaughter my entire family, including my sweet little brother, Nevin. Everyone at the academy thinks Zesiro's corrosive aura is a sign of inherent evil, but I know the heartbreaking truth: his body involuntarily absorbs and purifies the empire's blight, leaving him in constant agony. I thought if I simply healed his wounds, clothed him in warmth, and threw money at the problem, I could peacefully retire while he saves the world. But my relentless pampering has awakened something far darker than his curse. As he thrives under my care, the broken boy has transformed into a lethal shadow at my back. Why does the future tyrant glare with murderous intent at anyone who dares to make me smile?
