The Villainess with a Heroine Harem

*Character illustrations in the auxiliary chapter.* Born and raised as a nameless shadow guard for his kingdom’s crown prince, his life’s purpose was to be used and discarded at the whims of his liege. And his meaningless life ended when the gaze of a princess lingered on him for too long. The crown prince had him beheaded without a second thought, as if throwing out trash. Transmigrating into the body of a baby girl, the nameless shadow finally had a name, a family, and a place to call her own. Throwing away his past, the shadow guard was now called ‘Emilia’, and walked on a new path to seek fulfillment. It was not meant to be, however, as the girl whom she had loved with all her heart and soul ended up mercilessly plunging a dagger through Emilia's love-struck heart at the highest point in her life. The crowd clamored at the ‘deserved death of the villainess’, and at that moment, the shadow could only wonder… why? Why am I always the one to dedicate myself fully to someone, only to be thrown away like trash in the end? And thus, as her soul floated away while cursing in resentment, ‘Emilia’ vowed to herself that in her next life she shall never be the one to fully dedicate herself. Whatever she likes shall be held in her palm, and shall never escape! The moment the vow was made, a self-proclaimed villainess system proposed to partner with her, to explore and conquer the worlds through their anchors—the heroes and heroines. And by cultivating this energy, she shall one day go back. Back to the world she was born as ‘Emilia’ in, and face the so-called heroine once more. The second time they meet, Emilia won’t be the one drowning in regret! ... Current cover was drawn by Scal2let, and commissioned by The Shadow King of Hearts (I love it so much, it's amazing, ahhh!!!

Acquired 'Subordinates'

Although they did introduce themselves under his orders, even Amos could tell how reluctant they were in their hearts.

It was no wonder, since eight of the ten were from class S, and had a much better impression of Emilia than they did of Amos. In fact, to say that they put Emilia on a pedestal wouldn't be far from the truth.

As for what they thought of Amos… their image of him would have been somewhat neutral or slightly negative before today. But now that he had forcibly put them under his thumb so arrogantly, that slight aversion might already have shifted to hatred and disgust.

Of course, just because they hated him didn't mean they could consider going against his will. None of them these eight were an only child. They knew very well the consequences of being too stubborn would be to be shipped off overseas, forever having nothing to do with their family inheritance, except for a pittance of pocket money.
