The Deep Affection of a Villainess

In a certain village, there lived a beautiful woman named Reiko. She attracted the love of many men due to her appearance, but deep in her heart, a cold passion was hidden. Reiko flaunted her beauty by toying with the men of the village, treating their hearts like mere toys. However, what she truly sought was someone who would love her from the bottom of their heart.

On the other hand, there was also an unattractive woman named Sakko in the village. Although Sakko was not blessed with beauty, she possessed a rich heart and deep affection. She always offered kindness to those around her and reached out to those in need. Her presence was reminiscent of a mother watching over the village. However, Sakko's deep affection sometimes gave rise to jealousy.

One day, Reiko set her sights on the man that Sakko loved, Kenji. Reiko devised various schemes to captivate him, and gradually, Kenji found himself drawn to her. However, Sakko saw through Reiko's ploys and fought desperately to protect Kenji. No matter how much love she poured into Kenji, she felt deep down that she could not compete with Reiko's glamour.

In the end, Kenji succumbed to Reiko's charm and left Sakko. Reiko achieved victory, but at that moment, she was plagued by a sense of unfulfillment. She realized that something was missing from the beauty and love she had acquired. Knowing the significance of Sakko's deep affection, Reiko gradually felt jealousy arise within her own heart. Eventually, Reiko understood that the "deep affection of a villainess" had become a chain binding her. It was only belatedly that she realized true love does not remain on the surface.
