The Villainess Is a Marionette is a gorgeous “villainess reincarnation” romantasy manhwa following a once-foolish princess who was used as a pawn in her cruel brother’s schemes and left to die. After she wakes up in her third life, she’s now armed with the knowledge of how her dreadful future unfolds. In order to rewrite her story and win her freedom, she must learn to puppet the puppeteer—this time, she’ll be the one pulling the strings! 

The Villainess Is a Marionette is best known for its dazzling art and cunning female lead. The deliciously dangerous male leads will both charm and infuriate readers, enchanting them as our protagonist, Kayena, plays chess with the boys in order to survive. In a time when women are completely reliant on their family’s support, Kayena is more than just a pretty piece of art to look at—seen and not heard. She manipulates events with her knowledge of the future, but her story is constantly changing with the ripples of her choices. With beautiful yet sadistic characters, this historical fantasy is perfect for fans of Villains Are Destined to Die and The Villainess Turns the Hourglass.
