The Villainess Wants to Marry a Commoner!! (WN)

It's a story heard often enough, I suppose.
I, Isabella Ally Rottenstein, 3rd daughter of a duke, have managed to remember my past life.

In my previous world, I was just a regular Japanese woman.
I had been a single, 28-year-old, working as a receptionist at a call center.
But now I find myself in the otome game, “Love Magical”! I am currently living as a a citizen of the Rozelia Kingdom.
And, what's worse, I am currently in the 6-year-old body of the villainess from that game!

Yup.
It's a frequently told story…
Ahhh, am I just supposed to grin and bear it? Something like this???
How did I even end up here!?
I…
did I…
die??? 
But how???
And to start with, aren't otome games purely fictional? 
It's just too weird that I ended up in a world straight out of a game!
And why did I have to become a noble-girl villainess just like the plot in those light novels?
Isn't the trope of a Japanese person slipping into another world woefully overdone yet?
I curse this stupid fate of mine!!!
….But I digress.

Anyway, because I managed to regain my memories, my personality has also reverted back to what it was previously.
Typically, if we were following the template of these reincarnation stories, I would have regained my memories because I hit my head on some rock.
Or, they could have come back when I had my first face-to-face meeting with my intended fiance, the prince.
But my story is different.

It all happened when my parents summoned a merchant they had been acquainted with to our house.
They had been looking for a present to send to my oldest sister who had moved to the neighboring country to marry their prince.
And that's when I saw him; a boy, squatting by the merchant's wagon, and watching the ants as they walked by in a line.
He was the merchant's son, and despite having never met him before, I somehow recognized him.

It seems that I had seen him 9 years ago, in a game called, “Love Magical”.
He had appeared as a character in the National Magic Academy, the son of a successful merchant, named Ursch-kun.
Family name: unknown.

Incidentally, he wasn't a capture target.

I'll say it again.
He was NOT A CAPTURE TARGET.

To be blunt, he was a support character.
He sold support items for points won from mini-games.
These items could help players during events to win the heart of the capture targets.
In other words, he's nothing but a mob character.
Part of the background.
He doesn't even show up in the main scenario of the story like the other capture targets.

But, in my previous life, he was my ideal man:
Light brown, almost beige, soft and fluffy locks.
Baby-faced with a meek, gentle sort of air.
And those eyes! Slitted in such a way that you really couldn't tell if they were open or closed.

At first I thought that they looked closed due to the faint smile always on his face.
But then, even when he showed his surprised face because I had managed to get a rare S rank item from the gacha, his eyes stayed like that, so I figured that was just their default look.

So cute! He heals my heart.
Somehow, he kind of looks like a sheep.
<3 I initially started playing the game just because a friend wanted the item you could get through the “invite a friend” promo.
I was just going to register for it, and that was it, especially since none of the capture targets really interested me, but then I saw Ursch-kun and my heart leapt! He was the only reason I started logging into the game.
