Is it "the villainess lives twice"? Because that's what this story reminded me of. HighElf
I haven’t read that one but the main character, Iris, is morally grey but not quite much a villain. I would say that she follows the usual plot going from : being nice to being cautious and pushing people away in her next life… Thanks to you I know what to read today thank you so much (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
I remember there was another storyline like this one.
But the side dude had black hair. Maybe he wasn’t even the side dude.
But if you remember the name please let me know.
Or stories like this one thanks !
