The Heroine Volunteers to Be the Stepping Stone
여주인공이 오작교를 자처합니다Synopsis
I possessed—no, reincarnated into—a bleak reverse-harem novel.
Not only did I have my power stolen by one of the deranged male leads who wanted to own the heroine, but I was also used as bait and ended up dying.
I reincarnated as Tien Elophez, the heroine Layla’s childhood friend—the one destined to die like that.
Getting bullied by noble girls my age was a given.
In the future, I was fated to be knocked around left and right by the insane male leads.
So, in order to change the frustrating, suffocating fate of the heroine—
to help her escape this grim novel—
I decided to start early education.
“Now, repeat after me. Bastard. You piece of shit who deserves to drop dead in the street, you XXXX.”
Early education.
I thought none of it was sinking in at all, but then—
“I went through all the trouble of dressing up, but my clothes got dirty. I guess I’ll have to return to the estate for today.”
She’s smiling like a scheming heroine while dumping wine all over the villainess’s dress…?
Is this a dream, or reality?
Our heroine has changed!
I thought my lifetime of watching frustrating ‘sweet potato’ developments was finally over.
That was until Layla declared she was breaking off her engagement with her only ally—the Second Prince.
“You’re right about what you’re thinking. I mean your older brother, Calian Elophez.”
…No way.
“I like Brother Calian. He has the looks, the family background, and the ability.”
That’s true, but still… no way.
Why is our second brother suddenly involved here?
Layla was clearly misunderstanding something—big time.
After that day, I definitely made plans with Layla—
but at every meeting place, the Second Prince—her soon-to-be ex-fiancé—kept showing up.
“To think we’d meet like this by chance. It must be fate between us.” “Hahaha! By that logic, everyone in this plaza must be fated too.” “They say when coincidence repeats itself, it becomes destiny—” “…When coincidence repeats itself, it’s called doing it on purpose.”
…That damn obsession with ‘coincidence.’
Layla, what on earth are you thinking…?!
