The kind and compassionate heroine of an otome game may be as flawless as she is admirable, but a certain young woman from Japan much prefers the villainess, Alicia Williams. She sees sense in Alicia's ruthless verbal abuse and values her discipline and fortitude. On the other hand, aside from always toying with Prince Duke Seeker's emotions, the commoner heroine seems to only spout lip service. Given the choice, the young woman would love to be reincarnated as Alicia—and her wish suddenly comes true! Seven-year-old Alicia awakens with the memories of her past life, now aware of all the future events, outcomes, and the world's secrets. She has no fear; to outsmart the heroine and avoid a bad ending, all Alicia needs is hard work, mastery of her noble family's dark magic, and the determination to become the greatest villainess in history.

One morning, when she was seven years old, Alicia Williams suddenly realized. "This world is the otome game I played in my previous life!" And when she realized that she was the villainous young lady she had always admired, she resolved to become the villain that history will remember!

The Villainess and Working Out

Alicia continues to work hard to become "the most evil woman in history." She travels to the magically isolated village of Roana, believing that not only knowledge but also practical experience is important. There, Alicia has an encounter that will greatly change her life...!

A Kiss with a Witch

Alicia is confused by the fact that Duke, who was supposed to be cold towards the villainess in the otome game, is interested in her, who is aiming to become "a villain that will go down in history." However, Alicia has no time to be distracted by love, so she secretly infiltrates the magic school.

The Villainess and Trespassing

Alicia's abilities are highly regarded and she is tasked with watching over Saint Liz. Having gained the status of the ultimate villain, "the Saint's Rival," Alicia is granted special admission to the magic school that Liz attends, but it turns out to be enemy territory.

When Monsters Attack, Unpreparedness Is the Greatest Enemy

Alicia is the center of attention as all students turn on her for "bullying" Liz Cather. At Roana, Rebecca reports to Alicia that there is a strong negative sentiment among the villagers towards outsiders. Rebecca does however acknowledge that the villagers are slowly warming up to the idea of turning their lives around. At home, Alicia's older brother, Henri, confides to her that he believes she was correct in her debate against Liz and he cannot understand why everyone around Liz automatically sides with her. After confiding, Henri hands her an invite to the King's tea party. At the tea party, Alicia undermines Liz's point of view until Liz manages to figure out a passable solution to a neighboring country's economic woes. Duke escorts Alicia out of the castle after the tea party and spends some time talking to her. On a carriage ride with Henri and Gill, Alicia realizes that Liz might be using magic to subtly brainwash people onto her side. However, before Alicia can investigate, she and Gill are ambushed and kidnapped.

The Villainess and The Villainess Test

Alicia wakes up after being kidnapped and realizes that she has been restrained, not just physically but a magic cancelling collar has also been placed on her. One of the kidnappers determines that Gill is worthless to ransom and considers killing him. After hearing this, Alicia in a fit of rage easily dispatches the kidnappers despite being tied up. One of the kidnappers flees and Alicia chases him down, right before she incapacitates him, Liz shows up and uses restraining magic on Alicia. Due to this, Alicia is almost killed by the kidnapper, however Duke intervenes in time to save her. Liz blames Alicia for acting in self defense, even when Alicia tells her she was about to be killed. Enraged at her, Duke tells Liz she is unfit to be called the saint and nearly freezes her. However, another student intervenes and calms the situation down. Afterwards, Duke takes Alicia to the infirmary and she later wakes up to him sleeping next to her. He helps Alicia put on her necklace and is about to kiss her, but they get interrupted by Gill. Alicia and her friends discuss the incident and narrow down the responsible party, while Gill resolves to become stronger to prevent harm from coming Alicia's way in the future. They also learn learn the king allowed the kidnapping to occur. The king did this to further train the saint by giving her a challenging mission, even though it risked the lives of Gill and Alicia. Later on due to the incident, Alicia's father orders Alicia to stop being Liz's watcher due to the danger it poses. Alicia refuses and promises that she will achieve level 90 magic if necessary in order to keep her role.
