I Became the Antidote to the Tyrant in a Dark Fantasy

The protagonist reincarnates as Liona Daphne, a villainess in the dark erotic novel titled "Why Did That Lady Roll Through the Rose Garden?" She finds herself in the most dangerous position possible: lying in bed with the Emperor, Enoch Philip Diehart, at the very moment their night together is supposed to begin. The original Liona was a power-hungry villainess who met a tragic early death, but our protagonist knows she must escape to survive. However, the Emperor—notorious for his extreme mysophobia—has a different agenda: he demands that she touch him. The secret behind his condition is a terrifying curse; the ice embedded in his heart, caused by a childhood tragedy involving his mother, creates immense pain when he is touched. As a member of the Daphne family, who possess the power of fire, our protagonist is the only one capable of melting his frozen heart. Now, she must navigate not only his complex condition but also the schemes of those plotting to eliminate her.
