The Madly Adorable Blood Princess Was Once the Hero's Dead First Loves

With long pink hair, crimson eyes, a lovely face, and a soft voice, Blood Princess Insaine certainly looks like a beautiful girl. But her mind and personality give off the delirious air of someone steeped in despair and agony.

To avenge herself on the Demon Lord's army for betraying her, Insaine abandons her former body and takes up residence in her own original creation. Even with little time left to live, she stops at nothing to raise a fake hero of her own.

Willpa, an orphaned boy from a border village, becomes an adventurer under her careful arrangement and meets Insaine's beautiful-girl clones one by one. He adventures alongside them, learns the meaning of life, charm, power, and wisdom, then witnesses their gruesome deaths, swallows the lessons death brings, and forges a will to rival a hero's.

At last, she makes her entrance in person, saves his life, trains him, and then madly tramples on the deaths of her clones, becoming both Willpa's savior and his first archenemy.

"Honestly, raising an ordinary boy to become a fake hero is pretty crazy, isn't it? I really am completely insane."

"Insaine, I've been chosen by the Holy Sword."

"Huh?!"

"I see, Willpa. Then come and defeat me at once!"

"Yes, ma'am. As you command, Miss Insaine."

"Wait, what are you doing with that wedding ring? Get away from me!"

"Am I not defeating your despair with happiness? Oh, right, here's a miracle cure for the soul."

"Get away from me... glug, glug, glug."

And so Blood Princess Insaine and the hero Willpa lived happily ever after. All's well that ends well.
