Are there any otome games with a misunderstood villainess MC?

I feel like I see this trope all the time in manhwa/manga, but I rarely come across it in otome games. I'm looking for an MC who is seen as a villainess or genuinely disliked by the LIs because they believe she's a bad person, when in reality she isn't.

I'd especially love something where the misunderstanding actually plays a big part in the story, rather than just being there for comedy. I'm looking for a heroine with a strong personality, good character development, and a story that takes the whole villainess premise seriously.

Basically, I want that "everyone thinks she's evil, but she's actually not" experience LOL. Any otome recommendations that fit this?
 
That's not really a thing in actual otome games... It's literally just a bunch of authors copying each other because they've never played an actual otome game.

You might get lucky and find something like that on itch.io, but not on any commercial Japanese or Chinese game.

Virtually none. Even if there are characters similar to a misunderstood villainess, they aren't the female lead—they're actual villainesses.

Characters whose appearance resembles that of a villainess might be positioned as the female lead's best friend.
 
I really hope there's an otome game where we start out playing as the heroine. After unlocking all the LIs' good endings, we unlock the villainess as the new heroine with a brand-new set of LIs lol. Two heroines!

Now that the villainess has regressed, she's trying to change things in her own route. Maybe this plot is already so overused that it's hard to make one stand out. BUT I WANT ONE!

Even if tempest maybe? The femal lead can be seen as if she is a villainess by some other LIs in some routes
 
ooooh i'd give anything for an otome game where you play as the villainess 🗣️

but ig it's too much to ask for one where she's actually mean at the start, not just misunderstod, and then she begins to change/go through a redemption arc

Cinderella Phenomenon?
Lucette is the only character I could think of. At least, I feel like her archetype is more than just a tsundere.
