She became Iola, a girl who appeared halfway through the book. The world of the novel, centered around the saintly heroine and her romantic lead, was not meant for her. Still, she thought that becoming a character in a story might bring her happiness—just like the protagonist of a novel would. \n\nBut everyone hurled hatred at her. They despised her. They called her Iola, the wicked woman who tormented the heroine—a false saint. But the truth was different. Iola herself was the true saint. \n\nBlessed by the divine, she returns to the very beginning. This time, she no longer needs her family, those who hate her, the title of Saint, or even the fiancé she once loved. She will walk a different path than before. \n\n*\"Even if this world tries to turn me into a villainess, I don’t care. I will survive and I will find happiness!\"* \n\n(Source: KakaoPage, translated)","published":{"start_date":"2023-10-29","end_date":"2025-02-02","start_date_is_estimated":false,"end_date_is_estimated":false},"status":"completed","is_licensed":false,"content_rating":"safe","type":"manhwa","original_language":"ko","rating":65.6333333333333,"popularity":{"global":{"current":30261,"history":{"1d":30180,"1w":30487,"1mo":29640,"3mo":28152,"6mo":59159,"1y":42276}},"type":{"current":7043,"history":{"1d":7022,"1w":7062,"1mo":6776,"3mo":6132,"6mo":7952,"1y":6175}}},"publishers":[{"name":"Daum","type":"Original","note":null},{"name":"Kakao","type":"Original","note":null},{"name":"Noen Comics","type":"Original","note":null}],"last_updated_at":"2026-09-27T00:14:47.133Z","source":{"anilist":{"id":191254,"rating":6,"rating_normalized":60},"anime_planet":{"id":"secret-love-affair-between-a-former-saint-and-a-dark-hero","rating":3.7,"rating_normalized":74},"anime_news_network":{"id":null,"rating":null,"rating_normalized":null},"kitsu":{"id":null,"rating":null,"rating_normalized":null},"manga_updates":{"id":"61q30nj","rating":6.29,"rating_normalized":63},"my_anime_list":{"id":186700,"rating":null,"rating_normalized":null},"shikimori":{"id":186700,"rating":null,"rating_normalized":null}},"rating_count":27,"final_volume":null,"total_chapters":65,"titles":[{"language":"ko","traits":["native"],"title":"전직 성녀와 흑막의 비밀 연애","is_primary":true},{"language":"en","traits":[],"title":"Secret Love Affair Between a Former Saint and a Dark Hero","is_primary":true},{"language":"ko-Latn","traits":["native"],"title":"Jeonjik Seongnyeowa Heungmagui Bimil Yeonae","is_primary":true},{"language":"ru","traits":[],"title":"Тайный роман между бывшей святой и злодеем","is_primary":true},{"language":"ja","traits":[],"title":"元聖女と黒幕公爵の秘密恋愛","is_primary":true}],"cover":{"raw":"https://images.mangabaka.dev/c/c/c/2/7/d/0/e/c2c4/4c86/bd04/9d1c3815d338","x150":"https://cdn.mangabaka.dev/imgproxy/plain/x150@1/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWFnZXMubWFuZ2FiYWthLmRldi9jL2MvYy8yLzcvZC8wL2UvYzJjNC80Yzg2L2JkMDQvOWQxYzM4MTVkMzM4","x250":"https://cdn.mangabaka.dev/imgproxy/plain/x250@1/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWFnZXMubWFuZ2FiYWthLmRldi9jL2MvYy8yLzcvZC8wL2UvYzJjNC80Yzg2L2JkMDQvOWQxYzM4MTVkMzM4","x350":"https://cdn.mangabaka.dev/imgproxy/plain/x350@1/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWFnZXMubWFuZ2FiYWthLmRldi9jL2MvYy8yLzcvZC8wL2UvYzJjNC80Yzg2L2JkMDQvOWQxYzM4MTVkMzM4","blurhash":"|KM7ipRi4mIqo}%gT0-;t7K2M|jExuXTj[IpaxayNfxt-;x]%MR-fkIooJJ;ROjXa$t6WAxZRjoMIoM{xvoIs;xuxat6V@IrjrWBWBt6t6oJe:oeM{of-;M{V@WXM{s:M|-;ogf5RkRPNGt7t6W=%MoMkWbFadWBkCWBWV","width":720,"height":1030},"anime":{"exists":false,"start":null,"end":null}}}
