I will temporarily protect the male lead

I woke up as the villainess of a novel, destined to die after foolishly pursuing the male lead. My plan? Ditch the drama, embrace a life of luxurious unemployment, and enjoy my newfound wealth. Simple, right? Not when my well-meaning (and slightly unhinged) brother decides to ‘hunt’ me a pet – a mysterious wolf that turns out to be none other than the cursed male lead himself!

Now, instead of avoiding him, I’m stuck babysitting him. Through countless mishaps and unexpected tenderness, I somehow manage to tame the wild beast within. My new mission: find the original heroine, hand over this incredibly handsome (and now very attached) male lead, and finally reclaim my peaceful, villainess-free existence.

But he’s not making it easy. “Why do you keep trying to send me away?” he asks, his golden eyes brimming with an unsettling intensity. “The only person important to me is you. I’ve imprinted.” His whisper sends shivers down my spine, revealing an obsession I never bargained for. It seems escaping my fate might be harder than I thought, especially when the male lead refuses to let go. Can I escape the clutches of a male lead who’s imprinted on *me*, or am I doomed to be his temporary protector forever? Dive into Chapter 1 to uncover this tangled tale!
