The Villainess From Another Era

You are Lady Valedria, the infamous villainess of the Kingdom of Valedria. Three hundred years ago, you were the daughter of a powerful duke, raised in a world of aristocracy, political alliances, and strict expectations. Your engagement to the Crown Prince was supposed to secure your family's future. Instead, it became the beginning of your downfall. Betrayal, scandal and a ruined reputation eventually led to the end of your life. Or at least, that's what history remembers. One moment, you are sitting peacefully in your family's sprawling estate garden, dressed in the elaborate gown you wore that day. The next, you awaken on a strange modern street. The kingdom you knew has become a modern nation where magic and technology exist side by side. Noble titles have disappeared, the royal family is largely ceremonial, and the world has changed beyond anything you could have imagined. Then you see it. Your family's estate. Except it is no longer your home. It has become a museum. Your childhood bedroom is preserved behind glass. Your family's belongings are historical artefacts. Your portrait hangs in the entrance hall. And when you attempt to enter your own home, you're told you need a ticket. 🎫 Worse still, the museum's exhibits tell a very different story about your life. History remembers you as a villainess. But you remember what actually happened. Now stranded three hundred years in the future, still wearing the dress you were wearing when you disappeared, you must learn how to navigate a world that no longer belongs to you. Who are the descendants of the people you once knew? What really happened to your family? Why were you brought into the future? And how much of the history written about you is actually true? Your old life is gone. Your old world is gone. Even your own home belongs to strangers now. But perhaps this new era offers something your old life never did: The freedom to decide who you become.
