“…There’s someone else I love.” Lucian, who has fallen for the saint transferred from another world, coldly tells this to his fiancée, Carolina. In that moment, Carolina realizes she has been reborn as the villainess from an otome game she played in her previous life. If that’s true, then this world should have a “sequel,” right? Thinking of the game’s continuation, she smiles brightly and says, “Understood. Let’s break off the engagement!” In the sequel, a hero from another world appears and falls in love with the villainesses whose fiancés were stolen in the first game—that is, girls like Carolina. Resolutely giving up on Lucian, Carolina waits for the sequel of the game to begin, believing that this time she will finally find happiness. Meanwhile, Lucian is shaken as the game’s “scripted compulsion” over him starts to weaken. (Why am I only now starting to care about Carolina more than the saint…?) Original Webtoon
