Summary
My life took an unexpected turn when I died and reincarnated into my favorite novel. I became Iena, a supporting character and an actress – a profession often looked down upon in the Empire. My new reality quickly involved ‘disciplining’ a few persistent pests, which, apparently, earned me quite the reputation. So much so that the Crown Prince himself approached me with an utterly baffling proposal.
‘I hear there’s no man who doesn’t fall from just one of your gestures,’ he stated, completely misunderstanding the fear my presence usually inspired. ‘Make the Duke fall for you, by any means necessary.’ Excuse me, Your Highness? I think you’ve got the wrong person! The Duke is *the* male lead, destined for the heroine, not some side character like me!
I reluctantly agreed, planning to simply play along until the real female lead arrived. But things have gone wildly off script. The Duke, far from being a temporary distraction, is now looking at me with an intensity I never anticipated. ‘Iena,’ he declared, ‘I wish to hold you.’ Is this for real? Has the male lead truly fallen for the supporting character he was never meant to notice? Unravel this tangled romance and read Chapter 1 now!
