The Otome Heroine's Fight for Survival - S01

Orphaned when a monster attacked her village, young Alicia spends three awful years in an orphanage before she finally runs away. But when she flees, Alicia has a violent run-in with an older woman set on killing her. During the struggle, she touches a strange crystal that fills her with a wealth of knowledge, turning her from an innocent child into a cool and calculating planner. Now knowing she was supposed to be the protagonist of an otome game, and disgusted by that supposed fate, Alicia decides to take control and become strong, by any means necessary. With her new knowledge, and some help from a stranger she meets in the woods, she learns to survive on her own in a world far too harsh and unforgiving for a girl her age. Ready or not, she is set on carving her own path.
