\[I tried not to get tangled up with the male lead — and ended up as his aide!] When she is reborn, she finds herself possessing the heroine of a novel she once read. The problem? This story is notoriously famous as a brutal suffering-type romance where the heroine gets put through the wringer again and again. There was no way she was living that life. Stories like that are only fun when they happen to someone else. The biggest trigger for the heroine’s misery was getting entangled with the male lead as a child — all for the sake of “love, stumbling into every thornbush imaginable, only to find happiness in the final three chapters and a few side stories. So she makes up her mind: she will live the quiet life of an ordinary countryside noble instead of following the heroine’s path. And then — at eighteen years old, the very year of her debut ball, her family goes completely bankrupt. …Why? She can’t just collapse in the face of this absurdity. The family debts need paying, and she still intends to live a peaceful, happy life. But the highest-paying job available to her just happens to be the male lead’s aide. She truly did not want to get involved — but when survival is on the line, you have no choice. Gritting her teeth, she takes the position. Except… while he’s apparently devoted and gentle to the heroine of the story, as a boss he turns out to be an absolute tyrant. Once the debts are cleared, she’s heading straight back to the countryside to live modestly and in peace. But then the male lead says: “Triple pay, and everything you take on is yours to keep.” Luring her with money isn’t enough for him. No. You’re my fiancée. A contract engagement — and yet he has absolutely no intention of letting her go. She really just wants to go on strike from being the main character!
