Chapter 1
Something is strange.
That was the conclusion that Thisbe came to after much deliberation when she realized that this was the world in the book and that she was a wicked woman who was jealous of the heroine and was destined to die after committing all kinds of evil deeds.
The basis for that conclusion is none other than the newspaper in Thisbe’s hand.
Thisbe’s gaze turned to the newspaper in her hand. In a daily newspaper that compiled the gossip of nobles, the news of someone’s death was written with a headline like this.
[Marquis Manette dies instantly in carriage accident… … Was it an accident or a murder?]
This is already the seventh death this week.
In other words, it means that we have been hearing news of death one by one for almost a week.
‘Was it Officer Chernyl yesterday?’
There was a slipping accident on Monday, a falling horse on Tuesday, an intact cruise ship sinking on Wednesday, and a poisoning incident at a tea party on Thursday.
Since then, every Friday, Saturday, and even Sunday, there have been sincere news of death.
Although the victims were all different people, they had something in common.
That he mocked Thisbe.
So, if things were to go as planned, he would die at the hands of Thisbe.
But rather, that’s why it’s strange.
I didn’t do it this time.

Romance fantasy novel, <The Flower that Tamed the Monster>.
A book about a female protagonist who has the ability to communicate with mutant creatures, commonly known as monsters, that cannot coexist with any other life form, saving the empire from danger and winning love.
Of course, as with any novel, there are obstacles and difficulties here. This is because the villainess, who deceived the empire by claiming that she possesses the power that the heroine possesses, loses everything and holds a grudge against her due to the emergence of the heroine.
However, as in any other novel, the villainess dies. After all attempts to get back what was taken from her heroine failed, she ended up taking the extreme measure of trying to kill her heroine.
The result is obvious, but the heroine wins.
The villainess is executed, and the heroine moves toward a happy ending. Just like any other novel.
And the name of that evil woman is Thisbe Luisa Callista.
So the conclusion is.
‘It means I was reincarnated as the villainess in the book.’
Of course, Thisbe did not know from the beginning that the place where she was reincarnated was in the book. No, to be precise, I should say that he did not know from the beginning that he was reincarnated.
I was hit by a car on my way home, and when I opened my eyes, I found myself in a cradle, not a hospital.
Fortunately, I was not at the level of a newborn, so I could see properly and hear sounds properly, but there are probably only a few people who would be able to immediately realize, ‘Oh, I’ve been reincarnated.’
Even if it’s like this to even realize that you’ve been reincarnated, how can you know right away that it’s in a book?
How many books have you read in your life?
Nothing comes to mind just with the name Thisbe.
So Thisbe was quite calm even after learning that she had been reincarnated as a child. After all, the only task given to a child lying in the cradle is to eat well, sleep well, and grow up well.
Moreover, even considering that the child’s view was the room where the child was lying, the fact that it was very luxurious made me think that he had been born into a fairly wealthy family.
And that was the second reason she was able to be carefree.
However, Thisbe soon realized that something was strange.
“Is this child Thisbe?”
“Yes, Your Excellency.”
“You look a lot like your mother. “I wish I could be like my father.”
“When he was alive, he didn’t like you very much.”
“It did. It’s also a son… … . I keep thinking about leaving behind a granddaughter. “It’s ugly.”
There were many maids who took care of Thisbe, but there was only one person who was their master and who was presumed to be Thisbe’s family.
A white-haired grandfather who looks quite old.
Listening to the conversation, it seemed that Thisbe’s parents died in an accident shortly after giving birth to Thisbe.
It was nice to be born into a rich family, but to lose my parents.
It was certainly shocking, but that wasn’t what Thisbe felt was strange.
“But didn’t you and your wife leave the oracle child behind?”
Yeah, this part.
“For you were born to save the Empire and bring glory to all, so Callista’s name will shine forever. “I’m sure you and your wife will be happy.”
This grandiose title, the child of the oracle, stimulated Thisbe’s side as she lay in her cradle.
Until then, Thisbe wondered, ‘Is it going to rain…? … .’ she thought, but it wasn’t long before she found out.
What fate has he faced now?
* * *
‘It was definitely a shock when I first found out.’
’ Thisbe thought, resting her chin.
The reason Thisbe learned of her situation was not because of the name given to her or because of the grandiose title of child of the oracle.
It was because of the one sentence that started “The Flower that Tamed the Monster”, or “Monster Flower” for short.
[This year, the girl who inherited Callista’s life will save the empire from danger.]
A prophecy sentence worthy of any other fantasy novel.
This prophecy, which also has the cliché setting of an oracle handed down in nearly 100 years, naturally drove out a girl despite everyone’s expectations.
This is Thisbe Luisa Callista the only princess of the Callist duchy.
It seemed to everyone that the prophecy was referring to Thisbe, so from birth, Thisbe was called the savior of the empire, the child of an oracle, or a saint, and had to bear everyone’s expectations.
It is described in only one sentence in the book, but when Thisbe experienced it herself, it was crazier than she could have imagined.
‘To a child, that’s tantamount to abuse.’
The name of the child of the oracle is merely a shackle.
The child of the oracle who would save the empire, the saintess of Callist, should not have been ordinary.
Thisbe had to play a genius.
I received all kinds of training to be considered outstanding in anything. She picked up a sword from the time she was a toddler, and while others were learning their native language, she learned the continent’s common language and two foreign noble languages.
Even Thisbe, who had memories of her previous life, could not help but feel breathless due to the murderous intensity of the class.
-You must become a great person in the future, Thisbe.
Because everyone has been telling her that she was given that fate.
So even saying that it was difficult for Thisbe was complaining too much. She was born as the protagonist of an oracle and defied all the expectations of others, so she had to be a better child than anyone else.
Her only family, her grandfather, Duke Callist, was strict, and all the employees treated Thisbe as an object of envy, so they could not even give her a corner to lean on.
This is how the Saint of Callist, known for her kind heart and gift of genius, was created.
But who knew?
The fact that the interpretation of the oracle, which I had taken for granted until now, was in fact wrong.
There was another girl besides Thisbe who inherited Callista’s blood.
Clearly, the oracle was not wrong. Clearly, the person who would save the empire from threats was born with Callist blood.
It’s just that the blood is a little lighter.
The heroine, Estelle, a true saint, was the daughter of a distant collateral family of Callist.
‘If I didn’t have memories of my past life, I might have gone crazy after finding out.’
They pushed me into a corner like that from a young age, saying that since I have to save the world, you have to be perfect, and in fact, there was a separate child of the true oracle.
In the book, when the real oracle’s child appears, Thisbe is even criticized as a liar and a wicked woman who deceived the empire.
‘I was abandoned by my family and pointed at wherever I went.’
Those who revered her as a saint and those who wanted her to be perfect took the lead in throwing stones at Thisbe.
Therefore, Thisbe could not help but hate the female protagonist, Estelle.
He took the position he had worked hard for his whole life and ruined himself simply because he was lucky and had a little bit of God’s favor.
But, that’s Thisbe in the book.
‘Not me.’
Fortunately, Thisbe knew all about this future.
When the contents of the oracle were thrust in front of me who had just started walking, Thisbe quickly realized the reality and thought.
Since she’s going to die anyway because she’s a villain, shouldn’t she just have to live a good life?
Isn’t there a saying that life is all about what you do?
Fortunately or unfortunately, Thisbe Luisa Callist was born into a very wealthy family, and her appearance was above average. She got to live this kind of life, but is there any need for her to die coveting the title of saint?
‘The intensity of the training was much higher than I expected, so I almost got kicked a few times.’
This was a success.
No, I thought so.
Until one Sunday afternoon, when he suddenly noticed that the extras who died by his own hands in the original were suddenly dying one after another.
