Isekai where the MC wasn't the one who isekai'd

: isekai'd antagonist
: isekai'd LI
: isekai'd side character/extra
: isekai’d as the hero
: isekai’d as the villain
: isekai’d as a side character/extra
: not a story (isekai’d to a fantasy world but not an otoge, novel, etc.)
: spoiler
: recommended
: trigger warning

Jishou Akuyaku Reijou na Konyakusha no Kansatsu Kiroku

 9.6(165 voted)
Ongoing
Author(s): Shiki,Hasumi Natsume
Genre(s): Shoujo

Crown Prince Cecil was so brilliant that everything in life was easy to the point of boring him, until one day, his fiancée Bertia suddenly says, "Prince Cecil, I am a villainess!"

○ You may argue that Bertia is the MC, but there's more than one definition of MC. I'm adding this because in my reasoning for this list, the MC is the one we follow around and whose perspective we see the most of. And that is Cecil, in this case, not Bertia.

Okay, let’s explain.
Isekai’d as the ___ vs isekai’d ___
“Isekai’d as the” means that the person who was isekai’d was isekai’d in that role in the original work. Like, they were isekai’d as the heroine. Isekai’d ___ means that is there role in the actual story. Hope that makes sense.
