“How dare someone like you confess love to me?”
The arrogant male protagonist who spoke those words was later stabbed to death by a supporting character who had unrequited feelings for him.
This was the tragic romance novel ‘The Duke’s Secret Seduction’.
And now, Evelyn has found herself reincarnated as its villainous supporting character—fated to become a murderer. Determined to escape her doomed fate, she sets her sights on a peaceful second life…
“That’s it! I’ll reform the ill-tempered male protagonist, set him up with the heroine, and safely step away from the story.”
Fortunately, Evelyn meets the male protagonist when he is just eight years old.
Rashid Egenhart, heir to the empire’s most powerful ducal family. A descendant of dragons, he is as breathtakingly beautiful as he is insufferably arrogant.
“Be a little nicer to me!”
The brat who shamelessly demands affection grows into a man renowned as the Jewel of the Empire—a dangerously handsome adult exuding raw masculinity.
Now, Evelyn is simply waiting for the novel’s heroine to appear, fall in love with Rashid, and let her exit the story unscathed.
But…
“Am I imagining it, or have you been treating me coldly lately?”
“Call me Rashid, not ‘Your Grace.’ We’re childhood friends, aren’t we?”
“I will never allow you to marry another man.”
Unexpectedly, the male protagonist, Duke Rashid Egenhart, begins to obsess over Evelyn.
“Didn’t I tell you? I intend to seduce you—with both my face and my body.”
And he’s being very, very obvious about it.
