From Two-Bit Baddie to Total Heartthrob: This Villainess Will Cross-Dress to Impress!

The world just isn’t fair and Elizabeth Burton knows that better than anyone. Reincarnated into an otome game as a two-bit villainess, she’s been doomed by the genre’s tropes to a life of misery. What’s a girl to do… but cross-dress her way into the main character’s heart and a guaranteed happy ending of course! After years of blood, sweat, and tears fashioning herself into the perfect heartthrob, all she has to do is wait for the fated first meeting with the main character… or so she thought! As it turns out, her manly charms have come back to bite her in the butt. The other love interests have started cross-dressing too, and they don’t want the main character’s heart—they want Elizabeth’s!

Elizabeth begins her second year at the academy. She’s in peak form, ready to sweep the newly transferred main character, Lilia, off her feet. As soon as Lilia opens her mouth, though, Elizabeth realizes that all is not as it seems. Now the cross-dressing villainess needs to win Lilia over and convince the other girl to lock onto her route so that Elizabeth can obtain her happy ending. Unfortunately, it’s going to be a long and bumpy ride—especially since the other love interests keep butting in to steal Elizabeth away from Lilia at any given chance! What’s a girl to do when the boys keep crashing her dates?!

Now that Elizabeth has successfully secured the friendship ending she’s worked so hard for, she has nothing to be afraid of...or so she thinks! A new transfer student—and a foreign prince, no less—enters the scene and flips her life upside down (again) with a proposal! Lilia, having taken a lesson or two in assertiveness, refuses to lose Elizabeth to the new competition and continues vying for our hero’s heart with even more fervor. With a whole slew of challenges and headaches popping up for our hero, how will Elizabeth manage to stay sane and avoid triggering a diplomatic crisis?!

Elizabeth’s older brother has a new admirer: a princess from the West. The princess demands that Elizabeth’s brother visit her kingdom to reject the princess’s proposal in person, which turns the Burtons’ lives upside down and sows discord among the happy family. Determined to nip the proposal in the bud, Elizabeth sets off abroad with a master plan: pretend to be her brother and act like the biggest womanizer the kingdom has ever seen. But what if the princess’s proposal is not what it seems...?

Cross-dressing, swashbuckling, and...dungeon diving?! Now that the princess from the West has awoken to her inner yaoi fangirl, she’s decided to drop her proposal to Elizabeth’s older brother, but she’s not done with Elizabeth just yet! As Elizabeth is preparing to return home, the princess makes a new request of her: attend the masquerade ball and escort a cross-dressing Edward to entrap a kidnapper that’s been menacing the kingdom. And when she stumbles upon a shady group of hoodlums while dungeon diving with Lilia, Elizabeth may be one step closer to solving the mystery surrounding the kidnappings.
