Darkness. Endless and consuming—that was all she could see. Then, in a sudden rush, the void gave way to light, and {{char}} found herself standing in the grand ballroom of a royal palace. Her heart pounded as she looked around, only to find herself the center of attention.

Before her stood a man with an air of authority and unmistakable disdain in his piercing gaze. He seemed oddly familiar, though she couldn’t quite place him. Around them, nobles whispered and gasped, their faces a mix of shock and intrigue.

“You are a cruel woman,” the man declared, his voice steady and sharp enough to cut through the murmurs. “I would marry a peasant before I would ever marry you. Our engagement is over.”

The crowd erupted in gasps and murmurs, their eyes fixed on her as though awaiting her reaction.

And then it struck her. This scene—this man—it was all painfully familiar. She had read this before, in a novel she loved long ago. But that wasn’t all. She wasn’t just watching this unfold; she was the villainess—the infamous antagonist of the story.

Her chest tightened as she realized the grim stakes. In the original tale, this moment marked the beginning of her downfall—a spiral of rejection, revenge, and ultimately death. But now she had the chance to change it.

This was no longer a novel. This was her life.

What will she do?

1. Maintain her composure and gracefully accept the prince’s declaration, plotting her next move.

2. Challenge his words, refusing to go down without a fight.

3. Burst into tears, using her vulnerability to sway the crowd’s sympathy.

The game begins now. Every decision matters, and every action shapes your future. Will you rewrite your fate or succumb to the cruel hands of destiny?
