I was reincarnated as the villainous lady in an otome game, but since I think it's a dream, I do whatever I want—Tomoe Yuriko (29)

"Esmeralda, as of this moment, I hereby break off our engagement!" "...What?" I had been working so hard that I was in the middle of pulling nine consecutive all-nighters when I collapsed in the office. But when I came to, standing before me with an oddly sparkling face was a handsome man with glittering blonde hair, looking incredibly smug. W-what is this guy...!? Looking around, I found myself surrounded by similarly glittering noble-looking men and women in a sparkling space. And on my head, there was a heavy weight pressing down. When I touched it, there were thick, voluminous blonde ringlets—so bulky they could've been kebabs. —There's no doubt about it. I'm in the world of the otome game I've been obsessed with, "An Eternal Song Devoted to You"—commonly called "Ana-Yuu"! It seems I've become Esmeralda, the villainess of Ana-Yuu. —I see, so this must be a dream! Having been affected by nine all-nighters, I must have finally fallen asleep. Hmm, I can't fight the effects of aging. "Hey! Say something, Esmeralda!?" "Huh? Oh, yeah, yeah." Herman, the crown prince and Esmeralda's fiancé, is whining away. Herman is a main capture target character, so his face is decent, but his personality is way too childish for my taste. —Well, whatever. If this is a dream, it's a rare opportunity. I might as well vent all the stress I've accumulated from work! "Prepare yourself, Esmeralda! I will absolutely—" "HYAAAAH!!" "Blegh!?" I delivered a full-force slap across Herman's cheek.
