I, The Villainess, Will Seduce All The Heroines Instead
Chapter 50: Heroine Rehabilitation Program

Chapter 50: Heroine Rehabilitation Program

***

I’ve already lost three regressions, and I’m not even halfway through this godforsaken novel!

Traditional novels always have a ridiculous word count.

Hopelessly Ever After, the story she was currently trapped in, was inspired by those long-winded classics - meaning it was wordy as hell, and each Chapter was basically a novella on its own.

Who even knew how many words she had left to suffer through?

The real plot hadn’t even started yet.

Evelyn hadn’t made any friends, and things wouldn’t truly kick off until Chapter four.

Right now, she was still stuck in Chapter three where the only thing happening was social politics and endless gossip.

If her hunch was correct, Chapter three would probably end when it became mandatory to establish one’s own faction or society.

In the novel, Evelyn had tried reaching out, testing the waters, but no one was receptive.

And, of course, the villainess was always there to make her life harder.

Three regressions. Three. And I’m barely past the prologue! How the hell am I supposed to last through EIGHT books?!

She needed to get stronger. She needed to get smarter.

She had underestimated just how brutal this world was.

If the original Verena had struggled this much, then how the hell was she supposed to make it through?

She lay sprawled on the bed, muffling a frustrated scream into her pillow before aggressively smacking it against her face.

Wait...

Why was she making this so complicated?

She could just befriend the heroines to speed up the process!

If they adored her, they’d naturally gravitate toward Evelyn, and boom! Problem solved.

...

Gross. She sounded like some sleazy playgirl.

Scratch that idea.

If anything, she’d just make Evelyn even more codependent on her, which was a disaster waiting to happen.

Plus, she still had to make them befriend Evelyn, not her.

...

Wait.

Wait.

Was the original Verena just a failed reverse harem protagonist?!

And now she was stuck in this mess, forced to clean it up while essentially rerouting the entire story, but with heroines instead of male leads.

The irony was almost poetic.

She didn’t even like harems! Hell, she couldn’t even stand love triangles!

The idea of juggling multiple romances at once made her skin crawl.

Again, how the hell was she supposed to pull this off?!

She had always been monogamous!

The idea of juggling multiple relationships had never even crossed her mind.

"Ugh, I can’t sleep..." she groaned, rolling onto her side on the couch.

She hadn’t gone home yet and ensured Evelyn fell into slumber comfortably.

Her thoughts were spiraling, and she knew exactly what she had to do.

When in doubt? Fall back on her HR skills.

As a Human Resource Manager, she was no stranger to developing employees, optimizing their performance, and keeping everything running smoothly.

Time to apply some corporate strategy to this ridiculous situation.

1. Training & Development? Yep. She could train these girls to stop simping for toxic men.

2. Performance Reviews? Absolutely. Time to assess their red flag awareness levels.

3. Mentorship & Coaching? More like teaching them how to have standards.

4. Team Building? Instead of competing for one useless love interest, they could become besties instead!

5. Psychological Support? Well, she was already handling breakdowns left and right. Might as well make it official.

This was just another high-stakes corporate project.

Except instead of employees, she had lovestruck heroines. And instead of a promotion, her reward was not dying.

"I’m not just saving these heroines," she realized. "I’m running a goddamn heroine rehabilitation program."

Right now, her employee in desperate need of a performance improvement plan was none other than Evelyn.

So, like the dedicated HR professional, she was, Verena spent the whole night drafting a plan.

And by "drafting," she meant stealing every piece of paper within reach and scribbling furiously like a woman possessed.

By the time morning arrived, Verena had collapsed on the bed next to Evelyn, her head resting on the mattress, drooling slightly on her masterpiece.

Evelyn groggily blinked awake. She turned her head, only to be face-to-face with Verena’s sleeping expression.

It would have been cute, if not for the mess of stolen papers littering the bed.

Then, as if triggered by some sixth sense, Verena’s eyes fluttered open.

"Oh, Evelyn!" she snapped upright like a machine booting up, shoving a very official-looking paper in Evelyn’s hands.

Evelyn, still half-asleep, blinked down at it. "Huh? What’s this?"

======

Evelyn’s Performance Improvement Plan Prepared By: HR Director Verena Aurelian

🔹 Employee Name: Evelyn (Hopelessly Timid Doormat)🔹 Key Areas for Improvement:

Reduce stuttering by 50% within the next two weeks.

Stop letting random people make decisions for you.

Improve assertiveness skills by initiating at least one (1) conversation per day instead of waiting for someone to talk first.

Cease apologizing for existing. You are allowed to take up space. No, really.

Learn to say "No" without looking like a terrified puppy.

🔹 Training & Development Plan:

Weekly self-respect check-ins (Verena asking, "Did you let anyone walk over you today?" If yes, immediate intervention).

Emergency "Doormat Recovery Program" (If you bow your head one more time, I will personally flick your forehead).

🔹 Goal Timeline: Immediate. We do not have the luxury of waiting.

"E-Eh?!" Evelyn blinked, utterly lost.

"And also," she continued nonchalantly, "I jotted down some self-help tips on leadership, habits, the art of seduction, and the laws of power..." She casually handed over a pile of papers.

She was only listing what came to mind, of course.

Back in her previous life, she’d used the genius method of passive studying to absorb the essentials from all the books she stocked up on.

And hey, let’s be real. She needs these.

Evelyn stood there, completely speechless.

"Trust me, it’s super fun and insightful—kind of like romance and fantasy novels!" she said, practically shoving the papers into Evelyn’s hands. "Anyway, gotta dash back to my dorm! See ya!"

"Wait—!"

But before Evelyn could say anything more, she was already gone, leaving nothing but a flurry of papers and confusion in her wake.
