Gendai Shakai de Otome Game no Akuyaku Reijou wo Suru no wa Chotto Taihen

In the turbulent aftermath of Japan’s collapsed economic bubble, a struggling career woman finds her life cut short by the crushing weight of the financial crisis. However, death is not the end. She awakens in a new body as Keikain Runa, the designated villainess of an otome game set against a strikingly familiar modern backdrop. Yet, the fantasy of living inside a romance game quickly fades when she realizes that her new family is teetering on the brink of ruin, battered by the very same economic recession that defined her previous existence. Armed with the hard-earned knowledge and foresight from her past life, Runa refuses to let history repeat itself. Rather than playing the role of a doomed antagonist in a romantic storyline, she redirects all her efforts toward rescuing her household from impending bankruptcy. Her true battle is not against a heroine or a prince, but against the relentless tide of an era determined to drag her down. By leveraging her understanding of the shifting financial landscape, Runa sets out to defy fate, protect her loved ones, and conquer the cruel currents of time that once brought her nothing but misery.
