The Villainess Is Reborn: Her Late Husband Has a Split Personality!

Two powerful leads, redemption, a self-interested heroine vs. an older daddy-type male lead; second male lead is a mad puppy.

Heroine:

I've seen through the hypocrisy of love. It's only sensible to tie people together with self-interest.

I've always loved only myself. I weigh the pros and cons of everything, always put my own safety first, and feel neither shame nor regret about it.

Knowing how deeply he loves me, I take advantage of his devotion to scheme and do as I please, certain he'll never leave.

But in our mutual-death ending, I was the only one left alive, with my own son gone from my side.

People only realize what they had after it's gone.

Fifteen years of torment wore away my pride, and I even began to regret it a little. Perhaps there could have been a better ending.

Main personality:

I know what she's plotting each step of the way as she approaches me.

She's always loved only herself. Whenever she weighs her options, she'll always put her own safety first.

Everyone says she's cold and selfish, but I can't bring myself to blame her.

If the temptations of the outside world make her waver, that's not her fault.

I don't want to be a heaven looming over her, holding her back and forcing her to look up to me, depend on me, and obey me.

I only want to be the ground that supports her.

No matter what trouble she causes or how many choices she makes that invite criticism, I'll always be there beneath her feet when she comes back.

Yet she even schemed against me.

Second personality:

I refuse to be fertile soil that always gives way, letting her trample my feelings and leave whenever it suits her.

I want to be the cage that confines her, cutting off every escape and crushing her pride.

I'll leave her nowhere else to turn. In this life, I'll be her only support, the only person she looks at.

Yet she'd rather die than bow her head.
