"Bring me the woman who slept with me and ran away."... more>>

"Pardon?"

"Long blonde hair, blue eyes, about shoulder height to me. Hmm... what's your height?"

"...Pardon?"

"She's exactly your height, so what's your height?"

A cold sweat ran down Chloe's back in an instant.

Yes, of course.

Because I'm the woman who slept with the Duke and ran away.

Of course, the Duke thinks I'm a man.

Chloe Liden disguised as her deceased brother to save her mother abd took a job at the Duke of Wolfaz. On the last day of her leave, she spent a night with the Duke in her true form. She thought it was a meaningless one-night stand since the Duke didn't know she was a woman.

That’s what she thought...

"What is this smell?"

"Pardon?"

"It seems like this smell is coming from you. Come closer."

The Duke kept insisting that he could smell the scent of the woman he spent the night with on her.

His sense of smell was insanely accurate.

As if he were some kind of beast!

If her identity as a woman was discovered, she would have to repay a year's salary, which she already spent on her mother's medicine, along with a penalty fee. Chloe decided to run away before she got caught. And her plan was almost successful.

Until the Duke came to catch her! <<less

"I like you!"... more>>

I confessed to Rody, the woodcutter.

He's kind, gentle—and rich too!

"So, I was wondering… would you like to date me?"

I needed money to save my sister, so I confessed. But still, maybe it’s okay?

He likes me, I like him—everything should be fine.

“Hmm… but Miss Sella, you don’t even know my real name…”

...Huh? What’s he talking about?

“Rodiac Pastrique Günther. That’s my full name.”

“Rodiac Pastri… Wait… ‘Pastrique’? Oh no!”

Wait a second—Rody is actually that villain from the original story?!

No way! I worked so hard to avoid being killed by him!

And I just confessed… to the villain!

“What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly shaking like that?”

He asked, his red eyes glowing.

His red eyes, which once seemed sexy, now looked like blood.

“No, this... this isn’t right…”

“Not right? What do you mean?”

“Da-dating… I didn’t mean dating…”

“Not dating? Ohhh—I see. So, Miss Sella, you want to skip the dating and get straight to marriage?”

What the heck is he talking about?! Marriage?!

“I like that. I love the idea of marriage.”

With a bright, satisfied smile, the villain's smooth voice flowed from his lips. <<less

I somehow ended up possessing a supporting character from the novel I wrote. Of all characters, it had to be the one I killed off early in the story, who happened to be the obsession of the male lead. To avoid dying, I decided to reciprocate the male lead's love.... more>>

But the male lead... he keeps hiding his feelings for me. How long does he plan to keep it a secret? At this rate, it seems like I'll end up dying, just like in the original plot!

Because of this strange change in the male lead, I've decided to change my survival strategy. I plan to escape to the neighboring empire and seek refuge with the crown prince.

On the night I finally tried to escape from the male lead who was supposed to kill me,

"Where are you going? On this dark night?"

That's when the male lead's obsession with me began. <<less
