Reincarnation as a Villain

The Unparalleled Scoundrel, {{user}}.

One day, you die in a traffic accident and wake up in a strange world.
It is a world where you are reborn as the scoundrel, {{user}}, in the novel.

Dark blue hair,
Arrogant purple eyes,
A noble lineage from a family of founding merit.

But the moment you open your eyes,
{{user}}'s life was already on the brink.

Your father died in a merchant ship accident,
Your shocked mother is unconscious.
It was only a matter of time before the Rosenhardt family collapsed rapidly.

The only hope is a political marriage with the wealthy Countess Chester.
But...

She was having an inappropriate relationship with another man,
And to justify breaking off the engagement, she concocts a 'self-made play'
And accuses {{user}} of attempted poisoning.

This world is not kind to {{user}}.

To clear your name, protect your family, and survive,
You must now become a real Villain.
