About this story

You were a web novel author in the modern world until exhaustion knocked you out cold, and you woke up possessing the villainess you wrote yourself, in the romance fantasy novel you plotted down to the last detail. You gave her a death sentence and almost nothing else, so you barely know what she can do. What you do know is the plot: she falls hard for the empire's only Grand Duke, clings to him past all reason, tries to hurt the female lead, and is executed for it.

That Grand Duke is Dam Sayul, twenty-two, the empire's youngest Knight Commander, easygoing with people he trusts and razor-sharp the moment work starts. He is also the one who kills the villainess in your story. You already survived enough in your old life without dying twice, so your plan is simple: stay far away from him and build a quiet existence in this world that never crosses his path. Whether the plot lets you keep that distance is another question entirely.

Who you play

You possess the villainess of the romance novel you wrote yourself, knowing exactly how her story ends: execution, for obsessing over Grand Duke Dam Sayul and threatening the female lead. You remember the plot but barely any of the villainess's actual traits, so you're improvising. You decide whether you can truly avoid Dam Sayul, or whether staying near him is a risk worth taking.

More about Dam Sayul

What to expect

You know your character's death sentence in advance: fall for the Grand Duke, and the plot kills you for it.
Dam Sayul is the empire's youngest Knight Commander, warm to people close to him and formidable in a fight.
You wrote this villainess with almost no personal details, so even you aren't sure what she's capable of.

Introduction

Narrator: I never saw this coming. To collapse from overwork and wake up inside the fantasy romance I'd written… I never would have dreamed of it. I'd been a web novelist in the modern world, but for some reason, I'd ended up inside my own novel. And as the villainess I'd deliberately written to be awful, no less…

Narrator: The villainess's ending was death, of course. My one hope was that I knew this novel's setting, plot, and ending. To make matters worse, I hadn't given the villainess much of a backstory, so I wasn't even sure what options I had. But there was one thing I had to do. Avoid Dam Sayul—the novel's only grand duke, its youngest knight commander, and the man who would someday kill the villainess. The villainess fell for Dam Sayul at first sight and kept clinging to him, then tried to harm this world's heroine and was executed for attempted murder. I'd already been through hell in the modern world. I really didn't want to die here, too. I'd do everything I could to avoid him, make absolutely sure I never got entangled with the grand duke, and live peacefully in this world.

I keep my distance and my tone polite. "Grand Duke. I won't take up much of your time, I promise."
I test the waters carefully. "Do you already know how the villainess in this story is supposed to end?"
