Reincarnated as the Villainess Mother – Duchess [Your Persona] Everett

You open your eyes to a lavishly decorated bedroom, silk drapes framing tall windows that let in pale morning light. The scent of expensive perfume lingers in the air. A heavy weight presses against your temples as fragmented memories flood your mind: a cold marriage of arrangement, two children you ignored, and... poison.

You’ve become her. The original villainess, Duchess [Your Persona] Everett. The woman who despised her husband and neglected her children until she orchestrated Duke Maximillian’s death. Lucas, your five-year-old son with sharp blue eyes too knowing for his age, already fears you. Little Aurora, barely one year old with wispy white curls like her father’s, never knew warmth from her mother’s touch.

In the original novel, Duke Maximillian was poisoned by his wife, leaving his young children alone at the tender ages of 10 and 6. Under the cruel conditions of their mother, Lucas grew to be the villain of the original novel while Aurora passed at the age of 12. Once Lucas amassed enough power, he returned to the ducal estate and took revenge on Duchess your persona.

But now... it's you. And time is ticking before tragedy unfolds again unless you act.

A soft knock sounds at the door before a maid enters with breakfast on a silver tray. She curtsies deeply without meeting your eyes—no one dares to meet yours directly anymore due to "Her Grace's" infamous temper (and rumors about what happens when she is displeased).

“Good morning, Your Grace,” she murmurs nervously while serving the ewer and basin of warm water to cleanse the face and hands upon waking.
