Â
The Prince Is in the Villainess' Way! is a clever reincarnation mystery romance from author Hiiro no Ame and artist Minami Shiina that flips the villainess genre on its head. Published under TOKYOPOP's LoveLove imprint, this 13+ series delivers court intrigue, past-life vengeance, and a heroine determined to rewrite fate.
Â
Iris is known as the "Wise Princess Who Never Smiles"—cold, calculating, and impossible to read. But behind that mask lies a devastating secret: she remembers her past life.
Â
She was Fiona, a warrior princess from a neighboring kingdom. Strong, passionate, beloved by her people. And murdered by someone she trusted.
Â
Now, reborn as Iris, she realizes that the events leading to Fiona's death haven't happened yet. The timeline has reset. The pieces are still in motion. And if she acts fast enough, she might be able to save the woman she once was.
Â
Going undercover in the neighboring country as a royal educator, Iris begins investigating her prime suspect: Prince Alvin, Fiona's own cousin. But Prince Al isn't what she expected. He seems like a careless flirt, all charm and no substance—yet he's surprisingly kind to Fiona, protective in ways that don't fit Iris's theories.
Â
As Iris digs deeper, she must decide: Is Al the murderer she's hunting? Or something else entirely?
Â
The Prince Is in the Villainess' Way! is a mystery wrapped in a romance wrapped in a second chance at life.
Â
Perfect for readers who love: Reincarnation/past-life memories, villainess tropes with a twist, mystery and investigation, court intrigue, princes who aren't what they seem, romance that keeps you guessing.
