The One Within the Villainess/悪役令嬢の中の人, by Makiburo & Shiraume Nazuna (isekai manga, 2021-)

[lb_lee]

"What happened to the girl whose body this was...? I wonder if she's okay..."

Blurb: Neglected by her family, Remilia is destined to become the villainess of her world, but when a young woman from our world, Emi, is suddenly reincarnated into her body, suddenly Remilia is cherished and sheltered for the first time. For 11 years, Emi builds a life for Remilia's happiness, but when the treacherous court turns on softhearted Emi, it's Remilia's turn to build a life for her... and make all those jerks sorry!

Why is it worth your time?: Iron-fisted Remilia is a glory to watch in action. Lacking morals herself, she nevertheless embarks on a campaign to revolutionize the world around her for the better, from protecting the oppressed to farm reform to murdering corrupt gods, all for the sake of Emi, whose own moral code is extremely strict and who Remilia loves above all else. All of this is to bring about the downfall of those who wronged her, BY BUILDING A WORD SO GOOD THEY CAN'T SUCCEED IN IT. Give it a shot!
