[Work Intention]

 

<Don’t Look for the Gone Villainess> began with the thought of how sweet it would be if even one person were absolutely on my side in a situation where everyone in the world became my enemy.

This story is about Seisha, who is afraid of the world because of malicious rumors spread by her family, and Dian, her absolute ally.

At the same time, Dian himself is also saved by Seisha, the only pure and clean thing in his land dominated by those who are different from the outside.

In a modern society where the internet is developed, malicious and provocative rumors spread easily but explanations don’t. Many readers have suffered from unfair rumors or have seen people around them suffering.

There have been many moments where people around me thought badly of me because of rumors, and my heart felt stuffy and tight because the truth didn’t spread.

I hope this work will be a small consolation to others who have experienced the same thing.

 

 

[Work Points]

 

1. Harley Quinn: A work with Harley Quinn-like sexual tension.

2. Two-Way Narrative: a long-loved and steady subject matter.

3. Slightly Worn Cliché: Normally, the male character suffers from bad rumors and the female character is normal. There are many settings in which a character is persecuted by their family, but in this case it was changed from the male character to the female. This new point will appeal to readers.

4. A unique worldview:The work reflects a unique world rather than a general court romance.

The main subject is that four families are fighting for power in Dian’s homeland, which he calls the ‘Garden’, and each family deals with a different poison. Each family has a different specialized poison, which will provide new vitality for readers who are flooded with similar works.

“My lady….”

 

The Grand Duke of Cartea smiled softly and placed his fingers on her collarbone. His fingers slid down her arm and stopped on the back of her hand.

 

The Duke raised her hand and gave it a brief kiss.

 

“I know you enjoy doing it in front of others, My Lady. But just once, please play with me,” he whispered seductively.

 

Here, with me. Okay?

 

The kindest man in the empire, the best groom in the empire, keeps approaching her.

 

“There is no way to get away from me.”

“I can’t let you go.”

 

In a strongly seductive manner.

 

 

…. Aren’t you a sweet guy?

[Summary]

 

[Beginning] Suffering from abuse, malicious rumors, and her mother’s plot to make her half-brother Theyod head of the family, Seisha escapes her family and sets up a treatment clinic in an unfamiliar rural village. Meanwhile, Idian participats in the Grand Duchy’s succession trials and is threatened by the other three families but is found just before his death by Seisha. Seisha saves Idian with her healing powers, and Idian wonders how he was cured from the Theare family’s deadly poison.

 

Idian watched Seisha to try and figure out the secret of how he was treated, but found himself constantly attracted to her eyes, reminiscent of the crimson petals of the tree his mother had cherished during her life. Wanting to keep an eye on her, Idian ends up staying in the village longer than he planned. In that time, he fell in love with Seisha’s pure laughter that reminded him so much of his mother, who had been deceived and killed by her enemies.

 

Seisha is wary of whether Idian, who is clearly an aristocrat, knows who she is, but is relieved to find out that he is an aristocrat of another country. Idian asks Seisha why she treats people for such cheap prices, and she tells him of her difficult past, claiming she likes being somewhere where the people need her. She revealed it all because she thought she would never see him again.

 

When Seisha is taken back to the Lidain family, Idian returns to the Grand Duchy of Cartea. Determined to see her again, he then goes to visit her. After being taken back to the mansion Seisha longed for Idian. When she attends a salon, Idian attends the same one in order to find her and the two reunite.

 

 

[Conflict] Seisha is happy to find out that he was just as eager for their reunion as she was, but after finding out that he is the Grand Duke of Cartea, the most eligible bachelor in the empire, she pushes him away fearing that the terrible rumors surrounding her would hurt his reputation. But Idian was only more attracted to her, and whispered seductive words to her during the banquet.

 

Surprised, Seisha leaves in a hurry. However, Idian follows her to the Lidain mansion and actively seduces her, confessing and telling her that she can become Grand Duchess. Shaken by the temptation, Seisha decides to follow him and become the Grand Duchess.

 

However, not only are the other three families hostile towards Lodika, but the Lodika people themselves are not welcoming towards outsiders. In the meantime, Seisha saves a member of Lodika from dying with her healing powers and the Lodika people realize that she is the decisive weapon and shield who can be used to take down the four families once and for all. However, Idian realizes that using her power drains Seisha’s vitality and urges her not to use it, knowing he cannot return to the life he had before her.

 

Meanwhile, Idian succeeds as Grand Duke and celebrates a grand wedding with Seisha, and the two spend their first night together. After the first night, Idian is drawn to Seisha day and night like crazy. He tries to hide his affection for her from outsiders, but eventually another family finds out and tries to take her life.

 

On the other hand Seisha, who had been afraid to face her violent half-brother Theyod, was supported by the Lodikans and able to confront him. Meanwhile, the other three families continue to attack Lodika. Idian refuses to let Seisha use her power and attacks them with his own strength.

 

[Climax] When the war with the three families ignites, Seisha convinces Idian to let her protect the Lodika family with her healing power and stabilize the ‘Garden’. Idian initially opposes, but eventually declares war on the families according to Seisha’s decision.

Theare tries to poison Myuon and then threaten Lodika with the antidote and is destroyed by a counterattack. Shaiti, who had been trying to appease Seisha, join forces with Henia to try and check Lodika. Henia and Shaiti then join forces with the black sorcerer Lidain family to summon a poisonous monster, but Lodika manages to defeat it and gains the recipes for the antidotes to each family’s poison. 

 

 

[End] In the end, all families except for Lodika, including the Lidain family, are ruined. In the war against black magic, Seisha’s parents and half-brother Theyod are all killed, leaving the Lidain estate to her. In the end, the three families and the Lidains were defeated and the ‘Garden’ was united under the Lodika family. Such a happy ending.

 

 

[Epilogue] The unified landscape of the garden and the appearance of Seisha and Dian. A friendly affair in which the people of Cartea, who lived in a world full of poison, go on a trip to visit the peaceful Countess Lidain. The story ends with the news of Seisha’s pregnancy.
