Czar

I've become the villainess older sister who, out of jealousy for the heroine, committed evil deeds and faced ruin. But I only realized this was a novel world after I'd already done all those bad things. 'Is it worth groveling to these people?' My father who only expects understanding and sympathy from me, my brother who only cares for my half-sister, and the male leads who are hostile towards me—I'm sick of them all. For complete independence, now is the time to... hide my money! "Did you hear? The Empire's economic journal just updated their list of the '10 people who control the Empire's economy'!" "And the number one is Lady Primrose!" "Oh my, so how rich is she?" One day, the business I'd been hiding due to my villainess image was revealed. But people's reactions were strange. "Family ties are something you can't cut off, no matter how much you hate it." "I don't know either. Why I came to you instead of Lilika." "Is it so hard to give me just one chance?" It was ridiculous that the love I had longed for only came after I had given up on it. And their belief that I would willingly take their hands was arrogant to the end. "Go away." To the men who asked to be partners, I replied with a bright smile.
