PASEJC 25

Synopsis

One day, I suddenly became the only daughter of a tyrant emperor and a villainous empress in a grimdark novel.

I thought that once the original story ended, I would be able to return to reality, so I lived quietly and obediently the whole time…

“Then why am I still inside the novel?!”

If I can’t go back even after the original story is over, then I refuse to keep playing the role of a meek princess.

“I’ll live however I want. Just in case, I even prepared a mansion!
Now I’ll enjoy a peaceful countryside life.”

However, my freedom was short-lived. Due to an accident, the mansion burned down, and I nearly died.

I was saved at the last moment by a man who suddenly appeared, but—

“If you hadn’t saved me, I really would have died. I won’t forget this kindness.
If you want repayment, please tell me. I’ll do anything you ask.”

“There’s no need for repayment. You’re my fiancée.”

A fiancée?!
With a man I’ve never seen before?!

And not just anyone—he’s the sole heir of a ducal family that holds the greatest wealth and power in the empire?!

I don’t want to get tangled up with nobles anymore. I just want to live quietly. This engagement is invalid—I’m breaking it off immediately!

“If you fall in love with me, then we’ll break the engagement.”

“What?”

“If you end up liking me, we’ll annul the engagement.”

“That’s the condition?”

But the condition he proposes for breaking the engagement is completely absurd.

As if that weren’t enough, the culprit behind the fire at my mansion and the assassin trying to kill me turns out to be—

“I just want to stop being a princess and live comfortably.
So why do things keep getting so complicated?!”
