ECNV Chapter 18💜💜

Lilith, a former villainess who died after foolishly interfering with the love between the male and female leads, found herself reincarnated. They say evil deeds are always repaid—and Lilith was reborn as a side character in a novel, one who’s abused by her stepmother and married off to a worthless man. Determined to live kindly this time around, Lilith enlists the help of the worst villain to teach her stepmother and stepsisters a lesson. “So you're asking me to cause a scene while pretending to be your lover?” “Exactly! If they get treated terribly, maybe they’ll decide to live kindly too. Just like I did!” The villain proves to be very good at his role. Now, all that’s left is to deal with the stepmother and the baron, then live quietly and kindly—just like a true side character should. Out of gratitude, Lilith decides to give him a warning. “Never fall into unrequited love. It’ll ruin your life.” “You think I’d fall in love with someone who doesn’t love me back? I doubt it.” He completely ignored the warning of a former villainess! I was about to tell him love doesn’t work that way, but then he smiled with his eyes and said, “Why would I need to love someone unrequitedly… when I already have a lover?”
