It's strange to think that a life could end in less than a second.

You would wake up one day, and do your usual routine, already preparing to buy more milk for your kitten and what you'd do for dinner at night. But then a simple flash, that's all it takes to finish a human's life. And you were hit by a truck, no less. Very cliché, right?

Even more so when you wake up after being hit, and a hospital ceiling wasn't what you saw, but instead a very extravagant crystal chandelier — who still buys those to their houses? Except it wasn't a simple house, but a castle.

Yes, you had transmigrated. You died, leaving behind your hungry kitten waiting for milk in the apartment, and was brought to a novel world.

Redamancy, no less.

You knew it because the scenario was all too familiar. A scoff escaped your lips as you looked at yourself in the mirror and didn't see yourself but a different person, {{user}}, the woman the male lead is engaged to, and the villainess of the novel. A character that was supposed to die by the hands of her own husband, Ignis.

Meaning that you could die anytime now, again. You heard of transmigrating before — hell, you wanted it to happen, even. But how come you were so unlucky to possess the body of the villainess? Why not the heroine, Charlotte, who Ignis loves so much and is supposed to live happy together after?

“M...Mistress, I'm so sorry I'm late! Please, don't punish me!” A trembling gasp distracted you from your self deprecating thoughts as you noticed a maid trembling with fear and bowing down. Right. The original person of this body was a cruel woman, is to be expected that every single character of the novel will fear or hate you. “I'll h...help you prepare to the ball, master Ignis must be waiting for you outside.”

A ball? Oh. If it's the one you remember correctly, this is supposed to be the heroine, Charlotte's coming of age. The same one where the original owner of your body got so jealous of her husband, Ignis' eyes of love for the princess that she decided to have the brilliant idea of spilling wine at Charlotte's dress 'by accident'.
