Synopsis

An ordinary office worker suddenly finds herself inhabiting Belinda, a villainous side character in a hardcore raising-simulation game — a woman fated to abuse the protagonist and die a wretched death. Abusing anyone is obviously out of the question, so she resolves to spoil the young hero rotten instead. The only problem is a glitchy system that hijacks her words and translates every warm intention into Belinda's signature cruel tongue. Strangely, though, the sharp-edged persona starts to feel like a natural fit. Armed with Belinda's wealth, status, and beauty — plus the advantage of knowing the game's mechanics — she bulldozes through one crisis after another. The results are unexpected: the powerful sponsors who once orchestrated Belinda's death are suddenly vying for her favor, a duke's household is proposing a contract marriage, and the people around her are falling for her one by one. It turns out she may have had a talent for magnificent villainy all along.
