Synopsis

What happens when you're a genius who's good at everything, but and it gets you absolutely nothing? Nothing surprises Crown Prince Cecil and every day bleeds into the next. Then he meets his fiancée, Bertia, who announces with complete sincerity that she's the villainess of an otome game and it's her sacred duty to ruin his life. She's been reincarnated into this fantasy world and she's got a plan: sabotage her own engagement, torment the heroine, and follow the script to her doom. The problem is she's terrible at being evil. Her schemes keep backfiring in ways that are genuinely funny, and Cecil, for the first time in his life, has no idea what's going to happen next. The whole thing is told from Cecil's perspective, which is what makes it click. You're watching this absurdly competent guy slowly become fascinated by someone who's essentially roleplaying as a villain with the menace of a golden retriever. It's a comedy-romance adapted from a light novel, coming in 2026 from Ashi Productions. The villainess angle gets a real twist here since it's not Bertia's story, it's Cecil watching her and falling for her while she's too busy being "evil" to notice. If you liked the dynamic in I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss or the comedic energy of I'm in Love with the Villainess, this one's playing in the same space but from the other side of the equation.
