On the way to confront my husband, who was having an affair with his mistress, I got into a car accident. When I opened my eyes, I was inside a romance fantasy novel.
But of all people, I ended up possessing Claire—the villainous side character who obsessed over Grand Duke Adrian and ended up getting killed by him?
“Untie that boy right now. Take him to my bedroom.”
“My lady! Where on earth are you taking that filthy slave?”
“Be quiet, maid. My life is on the line here!”
Still, there was hope.
In the original story, Claire branded her own name onto Adrian’s face and burned to death in agony. Thankfully, Adrian’s face was still unscarred.
So if I treat him well from now on, maybe I can escape the fate of a doomed villainess…
But—
“Don’t you dare take a single step away. Claire, from now on, you’re mine.”
After living quietly as a harmless side character, I tried to secretly run away on the day the heroine was supposed to appear.
Yet two years later, Adrian, now the Grand Duke, came looking for me.
…Wait. Didn’t I escape the original story?!
