KAREN (花煉)

Villainess? No thanks—I'll take a quiet life instead. Leila Vivianne has just had a shocking realization: she’s not just a noble lady in a fantasy world—she’s the rival character in a tragic otome game! In every route but her brother’s, she dies, even though she never lays a finger on the heroine. Determined to survive, Leila hatches a clever plan: skip the drama, skip the school, and become the academy’s infirmary assistant instead. No more love triangles, no more duels over the prince, no more doomed fate… right? But fate isn’t so easy to dodge. When the game’s key characters keep wandering into her quiet new life, Leila finds herself tangled in romance, rivalry, and maybe—just maybe—rewriting the story entirely. A charming fantasy full of wit, heart, and unexpected second chances.
