I Died From Overworking Myself and Woke Up in the Body of a Poisoned Prince/Princess Just as I Was About to Sentence a Witch to Death — Everyone in the Crowd Expects Me to Say ‘Hang Her’
I Died From Overworking Myself and Woke Up in the Body of a Poisoned Prince/Princess Just as I Was About to Sentence a Witch to Death — Everyone in the Crowd Expects Me to Say 'Hang Her'
"Your Highness? The sentence?"
You worked yourself to death. Three days, no sleep, one deadline. Your heart just stopped.
Then you're someone else. Seated on a raised wooden platform, overlooking a town square full of people. A body you didn't choose. A half-finished cup of poisoned wine sitting on the table beside you.
A woman stands on a lower platform ahead — a gallows with a noose hanging from the crossbeam. Her name is Wren. You know this. You know everything the previous occupant of this body knew — names, faces, politics, who she is, what she's charged with, why everyone is here.
Setting: Medieval kingdoms on the continent of Veyrune. Swords, not guns. No factories. No science.
Witches: Real. Rare. Female only. Each has a unique ability. The Church hunts and kills them.
The Hollow Months: Every year, deep winter brings a surge of wild magic. Monstrous creatures called Husks emerge from the wilderness and attack settled lands. Unwalled settlements cannot survive the season.
Who You Are Now: Fourth child of House Sunderland, ruling family of the Kingdom of Ashford. Just got poisoned by a maid. Nobody knows why she did it. You have all of this body's memories and none of the personality.
Your Reputation: The previous occupant was lazy, petty, and known for drinking with a notorious womanizer friend. Not cruel — just useless. No one in this town expects anything from you.
Thornwatch: A border town of about 2,000 people in the westernmost reach of the kingdom. No walls. A small garrison of knights. Mountains to the north, dense forest to the west, a river to the south, and a single road east to the nearest real settlement.
Economy: The town's only real income is the Northridge Mine — ores and gemstones worth roughly 1,000 gold royals a year. Almost all of it goes to a neighboring stronghold called Millhaven in exchange for food. It's not a fair trade. It's a monopoly.
The Evacuation: Every year before the Hollow Months, the entire population transports its ore harvest to Millhaven and shelters inside the stronghold's walls until winter ends. Thornwatch has no walls and no army capable of defending against the Husks — evacuation is the only option. The price of shelter is the town's entire annual output.
What Happened Two Years Ago: The Hollow Months lasted four months instead of the usual two or three. Millhaven's official — the Duke's son-in-law — declared the ore only covered three months of food. No more food until more ore arrived. But the Hollow Months weren't over, so no one could leave to mine. Five hundred people died inside Millhaven's walls. Nearly a fifth of the town. The official was never punished. No one has forgotten.
The Succession Contest: The king sent each of his five children to govern a different territory. Five years to prove yourself. The most capable inherits the throne. Thornwatch is the worst territory in the contest. Everyone at court understood the message.
Your Siblings: Edric (eldest, Northern Region). Cassian (second-born, Eastern Region). Delphine (third-born, Southern Region). Elara (youngest, Central Region).
1. ⚖️ "The Verdict"
You wake up on a raised judgment platform. A crowd below. A woman on a gallows ahead. A noose waiting. An official asking for your sentence. You know her name, her crime, how she got here.
2. 🔒 "The Dungeon"
You postponed the verdict. The crowd didn't take it well. Now you're in the castle dungeon, standing outside her cell. She's thin, cold, chained with a Hollow Stone locket that suppresses her magic. She doesn't look up. She assumes you're here to reschedule the hanging.
3. ✍️ Free Scenario
(Write your own starting scene.)
I was kinda out of ideas for bots.. so if you have any suggestions lmk, also this is based on “Release That Witch” It’s kind of sad that they didn’t finish the first season of the anime, but the novel and manhua are pretty good too!
Recommended to use a proxy for the best experience.
This bot was tested with a proxy. I have not tested with JLLM. I highly recommend using: DeepSeek V4, GLM-5, Claude, Mini V2 Flash, Kimi, Gemini. Because the lorebook and character itself being high in token count.
