Summary
Imagine waking up as Countess Edina, the most infamous villainess in a novel – the one destined to assassinate the male lead, steal his heart, and sell it to a rival kingdom. That’s my terrifying reality. My only goal? To avoid the male lead at all costs and somehow undo the monstrous deeds of my predecessor.
But fate, it seems, has a cruel sense of humor. One blood-soaked night, I stumble upon him, gravely injured and abandoned. Despite my desperate attempts to walk away, his dire state pulls at something within me. ‘Just this once,’ I tell myself, ‘I’ll help him, then vanish.’
Except ‘just this once’ turns into a recurring nightmare. Now, the male lead, who once looked at me with pure contempt, is confessing his undying love. He remembers every poison, every assassin I sent, yet declares, ‘I still love the Countess.’ He even admits, ‘Doesn’t this make me seem like I’m crazy? But that’s okay. Because I am a crazy bastard.’
My carefully constructed plan to survive is crumbling, replaced by a bewildering, dangerous attraction. Can I navigate this twisted romance with a man who should be my enemy, or will his obsessive love – and my own unexpected feelings – lead us both to ruin? Dive into chapter 1 to see how this villainess handles her princely predicament!
