Synopsis
What was the nickname given by people to a woman who does many evil and bad deeds?
A 'VILLAINESS'.
But what if the villainess was never a villainous person, to begin with?
What if she was a mere puppet controlled and manipulated by someone?
What if she lives her whole life in fear of the real villainess?
* * *
Villainous, powerful, beautiful yet cruel were the words people use to describe the Chairwoman and CEO of Yang Group, Nicole Yang.
At only 25 years old, she was the youngest and most powerful businesswoman in the country. She leads the Yang Group with an iron fist and her vicious methods. She was nicknamed the 'Iron Lady' and the 'Ice Queen.'
She was feared by her employees and even her competitors! With a famous politician stepmother and a fiancรฉ who was from a powerful family, no one dared to approach her.
But maybe that's what everyone assumed! In reality, she was controlled, manipulated and used by someone!
She was desperate to break free from the chains that bind her and tormented her each day! But no one saw her weakness or sufferings until he appeared in her life like a miracle...

Kind, handsome yet playful were what people labelled with Aston Kang, the famous top actor of the country.
An orphan who hides his insecurities beneath his carefree smile, he worked his way from the bottom to the top on his efforts.
Though he was only 27 years old, no one would understand the hardships of life more than him!
He loves to flirt around to hide his loneliness. Maybe that's why people often mistook him as a playboy.
He never treated any woman or relationship seriously until he met the so-called 'Villainess' who gave his once dull life a challenge to take on!

The author is outstanding in her work. Fleshed out characters and nicely written dialogues, as well as superb narration. This novel needs more readers as the story is nice! May your novel find success in the future!.......from review swap thread.
Really digging this story. Interesting protagonist who everyone perceives as a cold and ruthless tyrant is actually a kind and caring individual who just happens to be under the thumb of her evil step mother. It's a great set up for plenty of drama and interesting character development as the protagonist must learn to grow and tactically fight back against her oppressor. The writing is of high quality with only a few typos here and there and the prose flows nicely. A very enjoyable read, and one I look forward to following through to the end.
I think this story is definitely under rated. It's beautifully put together with a plethora of emotions reaching the readers through the carefully strung together words. The characters are dynamic and world-building is thorough, which makes it easier to dive in and forget everything else. I hope it reaches to great, new heights in the future. Good luck author!
Nice story , I love the concept of the manipulated FL and the well planned past of the characters . I like your synopsis too . Love your story , so far ! All the best !!! [img=recommend][img=recommend]
The cover is stunning. The plot has an interesting twist, a villain who is manipulated, hmm. It makes me want to understand more about the motives of the characters. This book deserves more reads and views. Good job, author.
This story has quite a unique plotline different from other romance stories. The situation of the female character got me thinking how she will escape her evil stepmother's grasp. Some chapters only needs some proofreading. Overall, the story is well-done and gave me a nice reading experience. Keep it up author!:)
Aye this is a good book! :D I like the concept of a manipulated villainess, I think it's quite fresh hehe! :D The start was great, and I like the characters a lot, because even though a lot of them are mean, they have personalities lol so it's still a plus for me The pacing is good, and the writing felt smooth hehe! Great work, author! <3

I also love how smooth the sailing of romance here. I really enjoy every development and keep me on my toes at every tragic backstories that are revealed. Overall this book is definitely a great read and addition to my collections! Greatly recommended to those who seek beautiful romance stories. I absolutely look forward for more updates!
