Alternate Title

王子の本命は悪役令嬢

Synopsis

One day, an office worker is reincarnated into her favorite otome game, Falling Stars★Astrolabe of Love. There’s only one problem: she’s been reincarnated as the game’s villainess, Diana! And on top of that, her favorite character, Prince Sirius, who is supposed to be with the game’s heroine, suddenly seems into her! In order to avoid the game’s bad ending in which the kingdom is destroyed, she’s got to do something to get the prince to hate her, so she decides to try and seduce him. But to her surprise, he actually seems turned on by it! Is it possible that the prince really wants to be with a bag girl instead?
