The Villainess Wants to Make Money, Not a Match
2025
Why choose royalty when you could shape your own destiny? Meet Renee de la Croix, a girl bestowed with remarkable beauty and born into opulence, yet flawed by arrogance. She once harbored affections for the illustrious Duke Montfort and bullied any woman who dared approach him, only to find herself on the receiving end of his icy contempt. Tragically, her life takes a turn for the worse when her father loses their fortune to gambling. Renee falls ill and dies, filled with regret for her past actions. But as if touched by a benevolent fairy's wand, Renee awakens in her eleven-year-old body, gifted with a precious opportunity to start anew. Driven by unyielding resolve, she vows to weave a fortune vast enough to shield her family from the impending storm of ruin. How might she spin this miraculous tale of financial victory? By allying with a talented wizard's apprentice and crafting magical cosmetics—a market she knows like the back of her hand. In a society unprepared for a noblewoman’s transformation into a pragmatic entrepreneur, Renee faces daunting challenges. Intriguingly, Montfort seems drawn to this new, resolute Renee, but she keeps him at bay, unwilling to relive the heartache of unrequited love. Amidst the whirlwind of fate and fortune, will she be able to stay true to her path? Join Renee on her magical journey of transformation, where despair blossoms into hope, and where second chances exist for those daring enough to reach for them.
