The Villain’S Daughter-In-Law Is Inherently Powerful [EN]: Chapter 2

But no one heard my desperate cries. *Tta-heu-heuk.*

One year later. After being a tree and then left to wither and die, I had possessed so many things that I felt seasick.

Water striders, pet jellyfish, canaries in glass greenhouses, and so on…….

I kept possessing things after death, but I never became human, not even once. Nor did I live long.

‘It was a fair and cold possession without any perks…….’

After much hardship and tribulation, it was my seventh possession.

When I finally became a beast-person, I felt like I could dance wildly with elation.

The problem was that I was in a *clink, clink* state.

I was currently trapped in a large cage.

“He-yu.”

I sighed deeply and looked down at my tiny paws. They were white and fluffy, looking just like honey taffy. I wondered if they would taste good if I nibbled on them……?

It’s no secret that I actually put them in my mouth because I was so hungry.

After that, I swished my abundant tail.

Wow, how adorable.

With two round ears and a plump butt, I was a white ferret no matter how you looked at it. A baby ferret, at that!

Of course, I was a bit grimy now because I was covered in ashes… My reflection in the opposite mirror was quite cute.

‘Okay. It’s great that I finally became a beast-person. It’s good, okay? But…….’

Why did it have to be just an extra?!

Sniffling, I glared at the shabby ceiling.

‘Honestly, shouldn’t I have been born as a young lady from a good family by now?!’

Oh, my fate.

I hit the bars of the cage with my small fist, but then I quietly withdrew it because it hurt.

Okay, let’s stay calm. Getting angry will only make me hungrier, so I’ll only be hurting myself.

‘……But I’m angry!’

That’s because this white ferret beast-person I possessed was really a nobody.

When you possess someone, you receive their memories.

But after excitedly rummaging through the memories, I could only let out a hollow laugh.

‘I can play the villainess well too! Or even someone suitable for the main character! I’m a prepared, experienced newbie possessor!’

Why a chimney sweep?

*Kukung.*

Falling into a state of despair, I tore at my hair.

This 『Fallen Saintess and the Beasts of Madness』 that I keep possessing into was a habanero pepper-flavored novel boasting a Scoville index of 350,000 SHU [Scoville Heat Units, a measurement of spiciness].

The female protagonist is Raheen, a washed-up teen drama star who always remained a supporting character in Korea.

One day, she gets into a plane accident and crosses dimensions due to a god’s mistake.

Knowing that she can’t go back and greatly shocked, Raheen is promised three wishes by the god.

‘And Raheen uses her first wish to become the ‘Saintess’ of this world.’

In fact, she had read many romance fantasy novels, so she knew what the easiest job to survive in was when she transmigrated to another dimension.

‘How clever.’

Having become a Saintess, Raheen learns that there are plenty of men to her liking in this beast-person world, and she soon adapts rather than trying to return. She had a crazy adaptability that rivaled Robinson Crusoe.

Enjoying unparalleled popularity and a reverse harem among the many people who liked her, Raheen becomes the most popular star in the Holy Empire.

But one day, growing bored with that, Raheen falls into forbidden love at a meeting place with the Magic Empire…….

The world’s first black magician and Master of the Magic Tower, who even has the nickname of the Devil’s Contractor.

A person who defies the natural order!

She falls in love at first sight as soon as she meets Kiraxus Driblane.

However, her love is not easy. Kiraxus’s sister, Ariadne, the young mistress of the family, not only interferes with Raheen in everything but also provokes her every time.

Wounded but sincere, Raheen tries to convey her love and confesses on the last night of the meeting.

Then Kiraxus tells her to bring the ‘Dice,’ a sacred object of the Order, and Raheen brings the Dice to prove her love.

But all of that was just a scheme by Kiraxus to obtain the Dice.

As soon as Kiraxus obtains the Dice, he says that he has already taken a vow of chastity when he entered the Magic Tower and cannot accept her feelings!

Afterward, the priests realize that the Dice is gone and chase after them, and Raheen, exhausted by a heart that does not return her devotion, tells Kiraxus that she will turn the world into winter if he does not love her.

‘And here, the villain, Kiraxus……!’

Tells her to do it.

‘Or rather, he said he wouldn’t humor her whims whether she did it or not.’

Greatly shocked, Raheen makes her second wish at that moment: to truly leave only winter and eliminate all seasons.

For that sin, Raheen is sealed, and the Holy Empire searches for a Saintess with the same power as Raheen. They thought they could restore the seasons if there was another Saintess.

‘But there couldn’t be two Saintesses.’

Because Raheen was created as a Saintess in the first place with her wish.

Nine years pass like that, and the world becomes very desolate.

The Holy Empire and the Magic Empire, which had always had a bad relationship, are now at war to obtain more water and food.

In that war, Ariadne, the villainess and young mistress of Driblane, dies, but before that, the villainess had already left behind three sons with different fathers.

‘Why are these sons important? That’s because… this novel isn’t just a mess.’

Then one day, surprisingly, spring returns for no reason, and the war stops.

After a long time, the Order, which needs the existence of a ‘Saintess’ again, releases Raheen from her seal.

But Raheen, freed from the seal, immediately makes her third wish……!

‘This was the crazy point.’

She wished to blend into the Driblane family as if she had always existed there.

Raheen, who had not felt the passage of time because she had been sealed, reunites with Kiraxus, the 19th head of the family, who had become a middle-aged man in the meantime. And among the grown-up sons of Ariadne. In other words, she once again experiences a dangerous, obsessive romance among the three heirs of Driblane.

But the problem was that there was already a 20th mistress of the house designated in Driblane according to tradition.

‘That is, the person who would choose one of the heirs to become the 20th head of the family and marry him.’

But that mistress is almost completely erased from existence after Raheen appears and dies alone, unhappily and forlorn.

In the end, the heirs of Driblane, who have fallen in love with Raheen, have a love rivalry, and Driblane is ruined. They try to kill each other and are deservedly destroyed.

Kiraxus, who had been watching all of that with disdain, enters the Magic Tower and never comes out…….

Raheen never gets the love she wanted in the end. A suffocating, bleak story where those who love Raheen cannot monopolize her!

A doomsday mess of a novel where none of the characters are happy, but the readers are happy!

……How to survive as a chimney sweep in a villainous family (10 points)

* * *

“Haa.”

I sighed as if the ground was sinking.

Just by the fact that I haven’t eaten anything for two days and have been trapped here, you can tell that I’m not treated well, not even by the maids.

Some maids relieved their stress by locking me up and tormenting me. The reason is that I’m not just an animal with white fur… but an albino.

‘Now that it’s my memory, I feel strangely emotional.’

Chimney sweeping was the dirtiest and most difficult job, where you transform into an animal and go into the long chimney where ashes are piled up to clean it.

Albinos are treated as oddities in this world, so the job of chimney sweep was a perfect fit for me: difficult, suffocating, and painful…….

But that’s not the end?

‘I didn’t need this useless and excessive information…….’

In fact… this character is… well…

Was a spy.

‘Crazy. What next.’

After possessing the body, I tried hard to deny the information I learned while receiving the memory transfer.

The Holy Empire and the Magic Empire have been repeating wars countless times, and now they are even sending children as spies… Yeah. That’s me. *Eungae.*

My role is to wander around under the pretext of cleaning chimneys and gather information, but no matter how I think about it, it doesn’t seem like I’ll live long.

‘……Ah, should I just die quickly and start over?’

After spending two sleepless nights imagining my miserable future, I came to a conclusion.

‘No. Let’s just bury my bones as a white ferret.’

If I keep waiting and hoping that a better possession will come, I might become a dung beetle.

At least the white ferret is cute. Looks are also a competitive edge.

‘And maybe… maybe I have a dad who’s looking for his lost daughter.’

Since I’m a beast-person, in a way?

Shouldn’t a child beast-person in a pitiful situation be given a chance to be happy at least once?

I felt like I could hear someone laughing at my hope, so I drooped my ferret whiskers gloomily.

‘Okay. Stop thinking and find a way out of here.’

About 48 hours after becoming a child of unknown age, the personality of the body’s original owner and ‘my’ ego merged, and now I’ve become a smart child.

Maybe that’s why I feel a little sad about things that wouldn’t have been so sad, and I feel greatly wronged about things that wouldn’t have been so unfair.

“*Keuheung*, *tta*, *ttaryeodu seao*……(P, please save me).”

Shivering from the cold, I hugged my white tail tightly.

“Ferret *ttaryo*……(Save the ferret).”
