Read manhwa Villains Are Destined to Die online in English. Also known as Death Is the Only Ending for the Villainess and Agyeogui Ending-eun Jugeumppun. After a grueling session playing the hard mode of a popular dating simulation game, an ordinary university student wakes up inside the virtual world. However, she has not taken the role of the beloved protagonist. Instead, she finds herself trapped in the body of Penelope Eckhart, the despised adopted daughter of a powerful ducal family and the ultimate villainess of the storyline.

In this brutal reality, the stakes are completely unforgiving. Almost every dialogue choice and interaction Penelope makes leads straight to a gruesome execution. Stripped of any plot armor, she is surrounded by hostile stepbrothers, a bloodthirsty crown prince, and suspicious allies whose affection meters currently sit in the negatives. To secure her survival before the true heroine arrives, Penelope must carefully manipulate the erratic male leads and untangle a complex web of royal politics, all while suppressing her own desperation. One single mistake means an immediate game over.

This series may appeal to readers who enjoy otome isekai, psychological romance, and high-stakes survival stories.
