Transmigrated into an otome game as the aunt of its designated villainess, I committed myself to one goal: steer my niece away from the tragic fate embedded in her character arc. Yet the moment I embraced this role, reality began to shatter in impossible ways. The heroine's destined love interests abandoned their assigned positions to pursue me relentlessly. The protagonist herself clung to me, insisting I was the most precious person in her world. And my niece, the villainess orchestrating everyone's suffering—she became possessive, accusing, unyielding. "You made a promise to protect me," she demanded, eyes blazing with betrayal. "So why are you betraying me now?" I only wanted to guide her toward a better future. I only sought to spare her from catastrophe. So why has this bewildering world warped every good intention I possessed into something I no longer recognize?
