Summary
Waking up as the Empire’s most powerful Archmage, Reyna, I found myself thrust into a familiar world—14 years before the original novel’s plot even began. My only memory: a cryptic plea to ‘protect them.’ Was it a call to safeguard the story’s happy ending? With the main characters destined for romance, I planned a quiet life in my territory. But fate had other plans when I encountered him: the 4th Prince, the novel’s tragic villain, destined to become a tyrant. A frail, abused child with a beast-like appearance, his suffering tugged at my heart. Could I intervene without unraveling the future I knew?
A simple bowl of warm soup led to a shocking discovery of his daily torment. Witnessing his silent trembling as a servant doused him with cold water, my resolve solidified. ‘Your Highness, would you like to become my disciple?’ I vowed to ensure *his* happy ending too. Twelve years later, the once-fragile prince has grown into a formidable young man, still Reyna’s devoted disciple. But his gaze holds a new intensity, a daring realization of the feelings he harbors for his teacher. ‘I want to get caught, you see,’ he whispers, revealing a love that transcends their roles.
Join Reyna, the overpowered Archmage, as she navigates destiny, protects a broken child, and faces the unexpected consequences of a love that defies the original story. Will she succeed in giving everyone a happy ending? Read Chapter 1 to begin the journey!
