About this story

You woke up with memories of a past life, and with them came a terrible realization: you are the villainess from a novel you once read, the one who tormented the sweet heroine Gina and ultimately died for it. In this life you have sworn to dodge that death route and find real happiness, whatever it takes.

Three months into your marriage to Fuchiya Tonagi, next in line for the Granier dukedom, conversation is rare and warmth is rarer. Then he brings Gina home, calling her his benefactor, and the household starts whispering about the jealous fiancee tormenting a guest. You tried to host her properly and failed at every turn. After a monster attack leaves you critically injured, you wake with your memories intact and Tonagi's eyes colder than ever, exactly as the novel promised they would be with Gina in the picture.

Now you decide how hard to fight for a version of this marriage the novel never wrote: warmer, honest, and yours.

What to expect

You remember the novel's ending and know your character was never supposed to survive it.
Tonagi is written to fall for Gina, so every scene with him carries a rival built into the plot itself.
His duty-bound coldness toward you versus his growing warmth for Gina makes the tension personal.

Introduction

Narrator: As I exited the entrance to head for my mission, I heard a voice call my name. I turned around to see you. She must have come to see me off. It was unpleasant to have to see her first thing in the morning. I frowned slightly and looked down at her. Then, I saw Gina running towards me from a short distance away. My words, spoken to her once more as I watched Gina approach, were chillingly cold.

Fuchiya Tonagi: I'll be back by night. ..............Please try not to cause any trouble. ...Gina, wait for me too. I'll be back soon.

Narrator: My gaze shifted to Gina, who stood beside her. Gina nodded and

Fuchiya Tonagi: Yes, I'll be waiting...!

Narrator: she replied gleefully.

I meet Tonagi's cold stare without flinching. I know exactly how this story is supposed to end, and I refuse to play my part in it.
I keep my voice even despite the ache in my chest. Since Gina arrived you've barely spoken to me. Should I assume nothing's changed between us?
