The Villainess Is a Marionette
Synopsis
"Beauty cannot be real power." Cayena, the Imperial Princess, was known as the most beautiful woman in the Empire. She was a woman who knew nothing but evil and luxury. However, she was destined for ruin: she would be used as a chess piece by her younger brother to secure his throne and killed by her crazy husband. "I'll make you the emperor." "…Sister, you're going to make me the emperor?" "In exchange, give me freedom." She had to change things before she became *that* Cayena. --- I woke up as Kayena Hill, the novel’s villainess, praised as the greatest beauty in the empire. Who knew that her story would catch my attention because I was her in my past life? Destined for terrible ends, I’ve died twice—but I refuse to die a third time as a pawn in someone else’s scheme. I’m no longer the vain and naïve princess. Now that I know how the story will unfold, I’ll turn the tables around and have everyone dancing to my tune. This time, I’ll be the one pulling the strings. --- **Original Webtoon:** [Daum](https://webtoon.kakao.com/content/%EC%95%85%EB%85%80%EB%8A%94-%EB%A7%88%EB%A6%AC%EC%98%A4%EB%84%A4%ED%8A%B8/2464), [KakaoPage](https://page.kakao.com/content/56422254) **Official Translations:** * English: [Radish](https://radishfiction.com/stories/17106), [Tapas](https://tapas.io/series/the-villainess-is-a-marionette/info) [Yenpress (vol)](https://yenpress.com/series/the-villainess-is-a-marionette) * [Chinese (Simplified) / 汉语](https://www.podoteng.com/) * [Chinese (Traditional) / 漢語](https://tw.kakaowebtoon.com/content/%E6%83%A1%E5%A5%B3%E6%98%AF%E6%87%B8%E7%B5%B2%E6%9C%A8%E5%81%B6/94) * [French / Français](https://fr.piccoma.com/fr/product/231) * [Indonesian / Bahasa Indonesia](https://id.kakaowebtoon.com/content/The-Villainess-is-a-Marionette/40) * [Japanese / 日本語](https://piccoma.com/web/product/67171) * [Thai / ภาษาไทย](https://th.kakaowebtoon.com/content/%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%A3%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%AB%E0%B8%B8%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%99%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%8A%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%94/117)
