“The Forsaken Villainess Became a Zombie.”

Synopsis

When I opened my eyes, I found myself inside a zombie apocalypse novel.

And not just anywhere—I had transmigrated into the exact moment before I was about to be bitten by a zombie.

“Wait, hold on!”

Sure, I’m the villainess who was annoying and caused everyone trouble…

But don’t leave me behind!

No matter how desperately I begged, the protagonists only disappeared farther into the distance.

And then…

Crunch!

Just five minutes after transmigrating, I was bitten by a zombie.

“How are you still alive, Penelope?”

Everyone was stunned when I returned unharmed.

The heroine, Lilia, ran over and threw her arms around me.

“My lady! You’re alive!”

As she hugged me in relief, the sweet scent of her body filled my nose, and my mouth kept falling open.

I felt like I could sink my teeth into her right then and there…

After all, they were the ones who abandoned me.

So biting just one of them should be fine, right?

The sugary scent clouded my mind, but seeing the Grand Duke point his sword at me in wary suspicion forced me to regain my senses and suppress my instincts.

That’s right.

If I could just hold out a little longer, a cure would eventually be developed.

I couldn’t afford to die here.

So I stayed by the protagonists’ side, desperately hiding the fact that I had become a zombie while struggling to keep my hunger under control…

“Your Highness, I’m really fine.”

“There’s no way you are. Look at how badly you’re hurt.”

No matter how many times I insisted I was fine, they refused to leave me alone.

“I’ll do it. Just stay where you are.”

“Next time, I’ll be the one to save you, my lady.”

“Please… don’t ever tell me to leave you behind again. The thought of something happening to you drives me insane.”

Somehow…

The protagonists had gotten the completely wrong idea about me.
