Plot

The main character wakes up in the body of a villainess who was supposed to die. She struggles for two years just to survive.

She manages to become friends with the main characters and helps defeat the final boss, thinking it’s finally a happy ending.

But then…

“You are struck by the demon’s curse.”

Because of the curse, everyone loses the last two years of their memories. Now, they only remember her as the evil villainess, Laura.

There’s only one way to fix things:

“You have to raise me well.”

To break the curse, she has to take care of a young girl (the saint) and do good deeds in her place.

– The curse weakens.
– Someone’s memories start to return.

Slowly, people begin to remember parts of the past.

As their memories return bit by bit, the story starts to shift into a regret-romance genre.

But she replies:

“Sorry, I have to take care of Seraphina right now.”

Since the key to breaking the curse is the saint (Seraphina), she turns down the others. But then they change their approach:

Her loyal knight, Angel, says:
“A child needs a father. I’m respected and morally upright. Let me be the dad.”
Her ex-fiancé, Asel, says:
“If I did something terrible to you and forgot… I’ll take responsibility now.”
The rich merchant (who supports the saint) tries to eliminate any rivals:
“Whoever the real father is, he clearly abandoned her. Let’s kill him.”

The main character is left wondering:

“Is this really happening?”

How is this world supposed to work like this?
