Though I Am an Inept Villainess
Though I Am an Inept Villainess: Tale of the Butterfly-Rat Body Swap in the Maiden Court is a Japanese light novel series written by Satsuki Nakamura and illustrated by Kana Yuki. The series originated on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in July 2020 before it was acquired by Ichijinsha. A manga adaptation, illustrated by Ei Ohitsuji, has been serialized in Monthly Comic Zero Sum since December 2020. Set in a fictional kingdom based on Imperial China, the story follows a beloved but physically frail imperial consort candidate whose body is forcefully swapped with that of her widely despised, jealous rival. Instead of despairing over the situation, she is thrilled to finally possess a healthy, robust body and uses her unbreakable spirit to navigate the dangerous political conspiracies brewing within the palace. An anime television series adaptation produced by Doga Kobo aired from July to September 2026, with a second cours scheduled to premiere in January 2027.
