Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

One day, as usual, Annabelle remembered the memories of her previous life.

It was revealed that she has been reincarnated as the second most popular character in a novel.

She also did all kinds of bad things to the male lead, and in the end, she is the person who will end up in prison!

‘In the end, I’ll get caught. It’s crazy!’

Anabelle begins to save Ian from danger by intercepting the conspiracies that were laid out one by one to prevent her impending doom.

But in the process, she caught the attention of some unexpected people…

“Oh my, that’s the spirit of chivalry our family pursues! I like that a lot!”

Ian’s mother’s eyes began to sparkle at her.

“Would you like to be my partner to the opera?”

After saving Ian, the prince keeps flirting…

“Ian, I’ve decided to quit being your rival and live a new life.”

“A new life?”

“To stop paying attention to a man like you who’s always up and down, marry a man with no character, and live a normal life.”

“Who’s the opponent? And why am I up and down?”

The male lead, Ian, keeps obsessing over me for some reason.

“Why do you not talk harshly to me these days…? Do it again.”

Everyone just seems to be a little weird!

I think this one is a light plotted novel. Well written, refreshing, cute and fun to read. Not to the point that got me super obsessed with the novel though, maybe because it was a light plotted kinda story, but overall I enjoy my time reading this novel! Recommended~

It was really good. I've seen this story a long time ago but ignored it because I thought it'll be cliché. But I was wrong. The FL doesn't remember her past life the moment she was born, instead she already made mistakes and only remembered it when she's 22. The ML, though annoyed by the FL's attitude before didn't do anything hateful before the FL remembered her past life.

Anyway, the author's creativity especially about the three origins of black magic is commendable. I didn't even know the last 2 stories... more>> where the 2 origins of black magic are based from.

Also, is it weird that my favorite character is not the FL, ML 2nd ML or the villain but the supporting character— His Majesty the Emporer. I mean, he's just too cute when he's being a swordmanship fanatic lol. Especially the time when he reenacted the time where Annabelle dealt with the assassins. He even made the sound effects himself HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Lastly, the only regret I have is not being able to know who's Robert partner. Ah. No, I'm not very interested in that actually. It just that I already imagined a scenario where Annabelle and Ian's daughter wanted to became the imperial knight commander and Robert's son, became friends with her.

Anyway, 10/10. I'm actually hesitating for that rating since I thought that compare to the previous stories I've read with the same genre and theme, it's pretty simple but I appreciate the simplicity. Though simple, it's not really bad or mediocre. No major misunderstandings, it's funny and the characters are cute and humorous. <<less

I loved it so much, Ian is so sweet and it was a good read. I wished we got more of them as a couple in the extras but it's satisfying
