A Fairy Tales for the Villains Novel

In this story, the protagonist unexpectedly finds herself reincarnated as a minor character in a reverse harem novel. Despite her humble peasant background, her family enjoys relative prosperity because her mother works as a nanny for a noble household. However, fate has cast her in a dark role: she is destined to become the final antagonist, a snake queen whose actions will threaten the entire empire. When her mother dies in autumn, the empire simultaneously descends into turmoil. The nobleman employing her mother takes drastic action, confining the protagonist alongside the Duke's children in a hidden section of the mansion. With no details about these 700 days of captivity recorded in the original novel, she must rely on her own resourcefulness to survive. Together with her young companions—fellow villains in their shared predicament—she navigates this uncertain imprisonment and fights for survival.
