Though I May Be a Villainess, I'll Show You I Can Obtain Happiness! - Vol. 12 Ch. 3 - The Villainess Is the Secret Fiancee of the Ice Prince

[KnightModern]

wait, absent character? who's that?

 

[Psychronia]

Kinda toxic, Wilkes. But also, relatable reaction to discovering their plot. You didn't like them to begin with, but now you have an opportunity.

So...did our "villainess" get told about the plot or not? Since she didn't lift a finger to save her bestie, but also complained about losing her friend.

 

[Madologist]

Interesting art style, especially when things got intense. Not exactly the most original plot, but it was a fun read nonetheless. It is nice when the characters actually dish out punishment and justice immediately, when they are in a position to do so, instead of dragging and muddying things for 20-40 chapters for no reason except bloat.

I think, maybe it's just me pondering too deeply, but to me it feels like that this isn't the first time something like this happened. Not exactly like this, but some kind of incident of other lower aristocrats approaching her to make use of her and then her fiancé taking care of things ruthlessly, though behind the scenes instead of openly like this. FMC might actually be much more insightful and been very aware of what her "friend" was up to, but was willing to avoid facing the truth to keep some kind of friendship active.

Would be refreshing to read some aristocrat story, where the MC is very aware that good chunk of her "friends" are just using her, but likewise she is using them to "fill her empty life" and whenever they would step out of line, she'd quickly deal with them, truly earning her the title of "villainess". Maybe bit too sociopathic, but then again a villainess version of the business card scene would be glorious.

 

[Bloddrake]

She's not technically even a villainess!

Isn't that the case for many of these?

 

[Angelnickl]

Thanks for the TLs, ah Yandere love interest who enjoys ruining those who hurt MC. Not to bad, but I kind of wished the girl was at least a genuine friend character...MC deserved to have someone like that who wasn't schemeing.

 

[golestar]

Finally! I think this is the first 8.5 i've read in a long time. I don't like how the female is, once again, a white lotus bitch but i'll get what i can. Judging by the fact that both knew about the scheme and are rather ruthless, it's a tamer "Flowery path of evil" with less modern day knowledge and more pretty people

 

[PartyBabies]

satisfying af

 

[XenoAshura]

No. They're childhood friends just like the FL and her crazy yandere stalker dude fiance. And are supposed to be engaged/betrothed. That's why the FL is so concerned about him hitting on her: he's supposed to be engaged to her friend.

oh ok, must have missed that...

 

[klooqy]

I'm so tired of male leads who have no interest in people other than the female leads and spout possessive nonsense like 'you don't need anyone else but me', that's textbook isolation and manipulation
I know it's just fiction and a common romance trope but it's just so overplayed

 

[Justking14]

More tame than how it built itself up but was a nice direction none the less

Well the ML did drug them with a strong aphrodisiac and then locked them in a cell together. socially, I imagine there’s some consequences to that so their reputations are gonna be even more ruined. Also, feels a bit like rape but in a roundabout way

So did she know the whole time and just wanted someone to talk to or what? She said "another" like this was a regular occurrence for her.

He also said “you should thank me this time” so I’m guessing he’s scared off a lot of her friends and guys who wanted to date her over the years

As for whether or not she knew, I think she had her suspicious (especially when the girl straight up told her to marry her fiancé) but didn’t realize how bad it was til ml overheard them plotting and filled her in.

 

[Saon]

I thought this was an anthology about villainess becoming happy? So why then Monica is having a bad end still.

 

[HaikenEdge]

The art is pretty, but it feels like the writer doesn't understand the assignment.

The FMC isn't a villainess. Like, at all. If anything, the "friend" would qualify as the villainess.

 

[Bananimal]

So the villainess contributed nothing towards advancing the plot, her yandere boyfriend saves the day, and the opening pages with the compelling friendship was all a lie...

The evil heroine had amazing expressions, though

 

[Polt54321]

I was... very disappointed because at first it seemed like it was going to be clueless "heroine" role best friend with said friend's fiance being the only true-villian.

I feel like that would have been a fresher spin

 

[vhr2121]

Good! GOOD! I really liked this one! Finally!

 

[chemy1347]

Tbh I found this one disappointing. The ending returns to the pre-story start 'status quo'. There's no character development, and no one learned/experienced sth new (ohno, bitchman is caught alone with his fiancee before marriage, that's weaksauce punishment).

I've seen this concept work in longer (western) novels but they have time to flesh out characters,unlike a oneshot.

Still, thanks the TL, we wouldnt get to read this otherwise

 

[Mishkabee]

personally i would have made it so that the love potion made the brother and sister fall in love making them social disgrace and kicked out of their house.

They’re fiancés, not related

 

[3turtlesinacoat]

Thanks for the chapter!
Im gonne be honest, i start to tire of the male love interest being much more more fitting for the villainess title than the supposed villainess themself. If you cant make the mc ruthless and evil, atleast make the love interest female so we have a proper villainess.

 

[BigSaltDeluxe]

Feels all too common that the ML is a sadist who’s happier that he gets to hurt those that threaten what’s “his” than he is angry that someone’s going to hurt his love interest.

I know that it’s a bit of a meme that chicks dig that type of possessive crazy in stories, but I really can’t see why.

Give me liberty!
Give me death!
Give me a meathead ML!

Yeah would love to see that as well, despite logically making her more sympathic, because of bias, people blame HER the bias being since she's higher nobility, it's painted as though she is the one playing around with the lives of lower nobility like easy targets when it's them bringing their bad ends on themselves (as you said, she let them freely take advantage of her till they bit her hand, but since that detail is usually private, it comes off as HER exploiting the "discarded friend" even though if one's inquisitive enough, they'd have noticed the truth of it, hell the one discarded gets off abit lucky if one thinks on it more as its "the villainess" taking the hit REP wise)
