I Don't Want to Be Empress! - Ch. 1

Yeah... I can already see the "Going NOT according to plan" flag appearing. Either the emperor falls in love with her, and the heroin appears and ends up being this massive Toth.
Or some other trope will come along... I mean... the list of tropes for these kinds of series are loooooong.
 
Pretty typical start so far-- doesn't seem to have any unique twist to set it apart but isn't bad in any way either.

I honestly wish "and his majesty was only gentle with heroin" was an actual part of the story and not a typo, that'd at least set this up as unique.
 
What could possibly go wrong when the MC decides not to fall in love...right...a crap ton of people always ends up falling for her (and in these stories, the isekai heroine is always self-centered).
 
Here we go again... I keep telling myself I won't read these, and yet, here I am. Oh boy. I have no willpower :)
 
Why even get married in the first place? being the queen? thats not going to get you a peaceful life and you already know the fated woman will show up so whats the point. with her family, smarts , and looks she could literally do anything else for a peaceful life
 
I think our lead's reasoning is a bit flawed. It seems like she already comes from a noble house, unless she's a poor noble which hasn't been stated, couldn't she live a comfortable life with her family? Her father doesn't seem to be pushing the marriage so its not like she's under compulsion either. Moreover, even if marrying the king gives her wealth and luxury that comes at the cost of having to deal with politics and essentially signing up for no romance for life. I mean we all know someone will fall for her, but from her perspective she's marrying a guy who says he won't love her and who she believes will get a lover shortly and I doubt she has the same freedom to pick another man lest she want to be executed. This seems like rather short sighted reasoning.
 
if you know what will happen and plan to do absolutely fucking nothing to stop it then why even play into it? just dump him and marry some other noble, there's no reason for you to willingly be a cuckqueen not to mention you want a calm stable life but it sure as shit won't be as long as you're engaged to the emperor and another woman is going to take your mans heart...

this plot is so retarded
 
Mnn, several spelling errors snuck in, though. Like "he" that should be "she," "heroin" should be heroine, "myselfl," that sort of thing. Pronoun confusion such as their instead of her, stray commas...
Still, nice artwork, interest to see what places this one as different to the other villainess stories. It will need to work had to surpass "Survive as the Hero's Wife." ;)
 
This... remind me of the Abandoned Empress, is it just me? Since people are talking about Survive as the Hero’s Wife and such...
 
That premise is exactly like Abandoned Empress, except that this feels like it's going to be a lot brighter or a story haha.
Looking forward to the next chapter so I can see in what direction this one is going in!
 
Oh look, another "reincarnated as a book villainess wanting to live in peace" story.

*Smashes Follow Button*
 
- Want a quiet and stable life
- Willingly ascend to a precarious position of power
- ???? why girl why ????
 
so who wants to see a version of this set up where she(the mc) runs off with the heroine instead of the heroine being a prick and the emperor falling for the mc or blindly falling for the heroine?

think it will end up like that? is there a version like that?
how many chapters do you think it will take to realize the villainous and the heroine swapped roles "somehow"?
 
i hope u fix the cover, cuz it's really vertically stretched out.
