Synopsis
It was truly just a coincidence.
I ended up face-to-face with the original story’s final hidden mastermind—whose identity had not yet been revealed.
“Who’s there?”
“Crap…”
Ivan Pell Erzet, the Crown Prince of the Empire, praised by everyone as an angel and known in the original novel as the second male lead.
The moment our eyes met, with him completely drenched in blood, I turned around and ran without looking back.
‘The second male lead is actually the final villain? What kind of trainwreck novel is this?!’
Since I was just an extra living in a remote corner of the empire, I figured there was no way he’d know my name.
But then…
“Miss, you’ve received a marriage proposal!”
“Oh dear, someone must have sent it to the wrong person again.”
“It’s from the Imperial Palace.”
“…What?”
Out of nowhere, a marriage proposal arrived—from him.
“You’re the first person to learn my true identity and still be alive. Congratulations.”
“…Ah, thank you.”
“You don’t seem very happy.”
At that moment, Ivan’s emerald-green eyes curved into a narrow smile, just like they had on that blood-soaked day.
“I-I’m just so honored that I was momentarily speechless…”
“I thought so.”
The legendary saintly ruler? An angel? Yeah, right.
This man is the devil himself!
I only planned to give him what he wanted so I could survive and then make my escape, but…
“You’re surprisingly talented at running away. It makes me want to lock you up.”
“You said you liked me… Was that a lie?”
“Rine… please don’t hate me…”
…The hidden mastermind has become completely obsessed with me.
What am I supposed to do now?
