I, a Professional Villainess, Take Cash

My name is Ayesha. After inexplicably ascending to heaven in my previous life, I began reincarnating again and again in the otome games I'd played, taking on the role of a proper villainess.

At first, I refused. But then the System told me that every time I successfully played the villainess, I'd receive a hefty reward.

I was sold.

After a long, long time, I finally reincarnated into the last otome game I'd played.

Once I successfully ended my engagement to the crown prince, I got the completion bonus and became a billionaire.

That very night, I grabbed my battered magic wand, put on my mage's robe, and left the royal capital, successfully changing careers to become the mage I'd always dreamed of being.

But for some reason, people across the continent started hunting me down, including, but not limited to:

The crown prince I'd broken off my engagement with, an elf prince with a maxed-out talent for snark, and a cold Archangel who unconditionally protected the heroine, among others.

When I was at the end of my rope, I ran into the blond, blue-eyed crown prince again.

After racking my brains for ages without remembering his name, I could only ask him how much money he'd given me when we broke off our engagement.

He looked at me with a complicated expression, his face pained. For a while, I thought he was mourning the money he'd lost.

“Five million.” He finally forced out the number, his heart aching.

I suddenly understood. Then I remembered his name and earnestly took his hand:

“Of all the crown princes I've met, you're the stingiest when it comes to paying off an engagement.”

The crown prince shattered.
