Death Is the Only Ending for the Villainess (2024)

“You, who has always been useless all your life, can now be useful for once.”

Ludis, an illegitimate child of the Emperor, was always abused by her own father due to her lameness and uselessness. She was offered to an ancient god so as to save their Empire that was currently in crisis. In the midst of offering herself, a man approaches her.

‘Who would have thought that I’d die in this way…’

“What’s your wish?”

Hair as dark as the night sky and eyes as bright as the stars. Ludis found it harder and harder to breathe being next to him.

“I don’t know what to wish for.”

“Tell me anything you want. I’ve waited for five thousand years just to give you what you want.”

The princess, Ludis, who became a sacrifice for the Empire, is now in a contract with the ancient god, Lavane.

We all hate the greedy villains hell-bent on sabotage. Enter Carnelia Easter, the awful secondary villainess of the romance I’m reading, who trapped the prince in marriage at the behest of the evil empress.

I didn’t shed a tear when her head’s lopped off, but now I’m Carnelia! I gotta play this smart and convince him to divorce me instead! Still, between the prince, the empress, the heroine, the second prince, my terrible health… this story’s getting unpredictable. Will I survive after all?

“Please, Hilise. Please die in place of Gabrielle.”

My always dignified brother begged me to die in place of our stepsister, whom we don’t even share a drop of blood with.

“For the first and last time, I ask you this.”

I’ve always been miserable, and there is no exception this time. It was the seventh time that I was betrayed and killed, and finally I was completely free of lingering feelings.

“I’m glad that you’re a scumbag until the end.”

I won’t be swayed by love anymore. Now it is my turn to abandon them first.

“I witnessed a murder scene of a villain.

To make matters worse, he caught me.

I think I hear the sound of death beckoning.

He approaches me, his hand in his coat.

I wonder what he’s reaching for.

A knife? A gun? I guess it doesn’t matter. There’s only one thing I can think of now.

“I’m going to die.”

I wasn’t expecting what he pulled out of his coat.

“Will you marry me?”

“What?”

Computer science major Chu Sangwoo is the epitome of an inflexible and strict rule-abiding person. While working on a liberal arts group project with freeloaders who don’t put in any effort, Sangwoo reasonably decides to remove their names from the final presentation.

But he didn’t imagine how involved he would become with the person whose study-abroad plans were messed up because of that project. The involved person: the campus star who everyone knows, Department of Design’s Jang Jaeyoung. He has everything from skills, looks, family background and good relationships except for 1 big problem: Chu Sangwoo.
