Synopsis
I possessed the body of a villainess destined to die — and after two years of struggling to survive, I finally made it.
I even managed to become friends with the main characters and defeat the final boss alongside them.
Just when I thought we’d reached our happy ending—
“The Demon’s curse pierces through you.”
Because of the final boss’s curse, everyone lost their memories of the last two years.
Now, everyone remembers me only as “the wicked Lady Laura.”
There’s only one way to break the curse:
“You’ll have to raise me well.”
To lift the curse, I must care for the saintess—who has turned back into a child—and perform good deeds in her place.
– The curse weakens.
– Someone’s partial memory returns.
As the people around me slowly began regaining fragments of their memories…
“You… weren’t actually a villainess, were you?”
“I don’t know why, but I feel like I’ve wronged you somehow.”
“Give me a chance—to get to know you again.”
Perhaps because of their unstable, incomplete memories, the story was turning into a regret-romance.
“I’m sorry, but I have to take care of Seraphina right now.”
When I refused their advances because the key to breaking the curse lay with the saintess, they all began to act… strangely.
“Surely the child needs a father. I’m socially respected, morally upright—why don’t I take that role?”
That was Angel, the saintess’s devoted knight.
“If I’ve done something shameless to you and forgotten it… then I’ll take responsibility—even now.”
That was Asel, my former fiancé, trying to stay by my side in the name of accountability.
“Whoever the real father is, if he’s abandoned the child like this, he must’ve killed his conscience—so why not kill him too?”
And that was the merchant lord—the saintess’s sponsor—raging and ready to eliminate the “potential fathers.”
‘Is this really happening?’
Just what on earth is wrong with this world?
