IF VILLAINESS & VILLAIN MET & FELL IN LOVE NOVEL SC (2025)

Despite her noble status, Brigitte contracts with the weakest type of spirit--and on that very same day, the prince publicly breaks off their engagement. No one shows much sympathy towards the once haughty young lady--except for the duke's son, Yuri, who attends the same magic academy. Yuri is feared for his incredible abilities and icy personality, but with him on her side, her fortunes might have changed...

Brigitte's life was finally turning around as she started getting closer to Yuri, but that all changes when Joseph offers to reinstate their engagement. Brigitte isn't eager to go back to him, but her relationship with Yuri is getting complicated. Not only that, but it seems her no-name spirit might be something else entirely...!

Upon discovering that her contracted spirit was the legendary Phoenix, Brigitte's father has finally invited her back to the main house. As the capital buzzes with anticipation for a major festival, Brigitte herself is feeling conflicted-but no matter what happens, she knows Yuri will stay by her side.

As the graduation exam approaches, Brigitte's library visits, wagers with Yuri, and school days are coming to an end. The exams prove to be tougher than expected, but Brigitte is ready to show off everything she's learned and how much she's grown. All that hard work leads Brigitte to reflect on her childhood as well. What sort of feeling was it that Yuri wanted to convey to Brigitte?

After passing her graduation exam and hearing Yuri’s confession of love, Brigitte should have had everything she wanted, but it was not to be. The new leaders at the Central Shrine are intent on bringing in her and her phoenix Peep for their own agenda, and she was forced to flee into the night with Tonari. But her friends have every intention of helping her and bringing her back, none more so than Yuri—and together, they can overcome anything.
