12 O’Clock Marionette

Having been thrice possessed by her deity, Pebula, the protagonist finds herself in her third blonde-haired body, Siora Velvet, a twenty-year-old orphan with no assets and facing eviction in three days. This situation is dire, worse than her previous attempts. As the sole priestess of Pebula, she once received a book foretelling destruction by the villain Cruello White Desert. Pebula’s revelation was to "Reform the villain!" and thus, the protagonist was sent into the body of the villain's childhood fiancée. Her first two attempts failed: first by dying from poisoning intended for Cruello, and second by possessing a maid and being too passive. Now, in Siora's body, with no prior connection to Cruello, she must establish one. However, only one year remains before Cruello destroys the world, and her previous failures have seemingly hardened him into a wicked villain. Like Cinderella, Siora seeks to save Cruello and escape her predestined role. Can she achieve redemption and break free from her fate?
