thats not what my will said manhwa

“That’s Not What My Will Said” is a Korean manhwa adaptation of the novel My Will Did Not Mean This , following a reincarnated villainess trying to dodge her doomed fate while tangled in a dark, obsessive romance.

What the manhwa is about

The story centers on Vivian Eleanora , who wakes up as a “dying villainess” already engaged to Aslan , a feared cursed prince bound by a beast‑like curse. Her only goal is to escape the tragic ending she remembers from the original novel, but the more she tries to stay out of the plot, the deeper she gets pulled into it—and the more Aslan misreads her attempts at self‑preservation as affection.

Core themes and vibe

  • Survival vs. romance : Vivian is trying to live, not fall in love, but Aslan becomes increasingly obsessed with keeping her alive and close, creating a tense push‑and‑pull.
  • Miscommunication and “will” : The title comes from a will Vivian writes intending to cut ties and live a quiet life, but others (especially Aslan) interpret it as proof of attachment, twisting her words into a romantic obligation.
  • Dark fantasy / cursed prince : Aslan is feared across the continent because of his curse, and their relationship sits at the intersection of political danger, bodily horror, and emotional manipulation.

Latest news and where it’s trending

  • The manhwa is officially licensed on Tappytoon , where it updates weekly and has already racked up hundreds of thousands of views.
  • It’s also being discussed in villainess‑genre communities and YouTube recap channels, with some recaps covering roughly the first 40+ chapters as of early 2026.
