I was reborn as the villainess sister who falls into ruin after tormenting the heroine out of jealousy. Unfortunately, I realized this was a novel world *after* committing all the villainous acts.
“Are these people even worth clinging to?”
A father who expects understanding only for himself, a brother who protects my illegitimate sister, and male leads who bristle at the sight of me—they’re all exhausting. To achieve true independence, I’ll start by hiding my fortune.

One day, my hidden business empire—concealed to avoid the stigma of being a villainess—was exposed. But the reaction was unexpected.
“Did you hear? The empire’s economic rankings were updated, and Lady Primrose is first!”
“She must be unimaginably wealthy!”
Suddenly, everyone I once pushed away starts coming back.
“Family ties can’t be severed, no matter how much you want to.”
“I don’t know why, but I came to you instead of Lilyka.”
“Is giving us just one more chance so impossible?”
The irony of finally receiving the love I once craved is laughable. Their arrogance in assuming I’d welcome them back is even more infuriating.
“Get lost.”
To every suitor offering partnership, I smiled brightly and declined.
