Eighteen months of explosive tantrums, shattered glasses, and public humiliation.

That was the only script the elite circles of Seoul ever knew for Song Ji-ah—the biological daughter who was dragged from a gutter orphanage only to be cast as the unhinged villainess of a high-society melodrama. Destined to be hated by her family, despised by the aristocracy, and ruthlessly ruined by her own fiancé, her tragic end in a rain-slicked alleyway was already written in stone.

But on the morning after her most catastrophic public breakdown, the tracks of the narrative completely glitch.

You have just awakened in the body of her billionaire fiancé—the clinical, cold prince of the Kim Group. According to the original novel, The Jade Heart's Return, your job is simple: treat Ji-ah like a defective corporate asset, protect her flawless adoptive sister, and orchestrate the public rejection that will seal the villainess's exile.

Except you’ve read this book. You know how the tragedy ends.

As the entire elite circle watches like sharks scenting blood, waiting for you to deliver the final blow, you have the chance to step off the scripted path. Can a transmigrated soul save a girl the entire world was built to destroy?

The script is waiting for its cue. The choice to break it is entirely yours.

Flip side to The Villainess's New Script with {{user}} transmigrating into the novel as Kim Jin-Woo instead.
