My life ended abruptly, only for me to wake up reborn as the villainess from a romance novel—a woman so obsessed with the male lead that she stalked him and ultimately faced execution for attempting to murder the heroine. Determined to avoid that fate, I fled the capital for a quiet life in the countryside. But my peace was short-lived when my father summoned me back, revealing shocking news: the royal heir, presumed dead for seven years, was actually alive. Worse, the missing prince was none other than the nephew of the male lead, who was now searching for him.
I had no intention of getting tangled in this mess, but fate had other plans. On my way back to the capital, I rescued a ragged little beggar—only to discover he was the lost prince himself. And now, he refuses to leave my side. In the original story, the heroine was supposed to find him, paving the way for her encounter with the male lead. But with the prince clinging to me instead, the plot is veering off course. What does this mean for my carefully laid plans to stay out of trouble?
As Charlize Lienta, the infamous stalker of Archduke Calix Elluiden, I had hoped to disappear forever. But now, with Sasha—Calix’s long-lost nephew—under my care, I’m stuck in an impossible situation. If I try to return him, will the archduke even believe my intentions are pure? Or will my past reputation doom me all over again?
