Cross-Dressing Villainess Cecilia Sylvie, Vol. 1 (light novel)

Reincarnated as a villainess in an otome game, Cecilia realizes that as the heroine’s
rival, she’ll die no matter what route she takes. Convinced that she can avoid her death
flag by masquerading as a man, she crossdresses and assumes a new identity. In the
process, however, she ends up replacing her brother-in-law as the knight charged with
protecting the heroine! And now the prince who should be condemning her to death
wants to hang around her all the time...?! Cecilia will do whatever it takes to achieve a
peaceful and carefree life, but if her guise ever slips it’s Game Over!
