The Male Lead isn't Following the Script!
Adeline didn't expect she would transmigrate into the trashy novel she read years ago. The plot was so cliched that she couldn't bring herself to finish it. Years later, she found that very book on her bed, the page was open to the villainess' execution and before she knew it she found herself in the very novel she hated. The evil villainess who couldn't stand her two childhood friends become completely enamoured by the female lead, she decided to take care of the matter herself and thus became the public enemy. She now became the villainess of the story! "I do not accept this!" Adeline yelled at the top of her lungs. "I will change the plot." The Crown Prince she rejected won't leave her alone. The cold Northern Duke clung to her and wouldn't let go. The Arch Mage wants to abandon his duties and serve as her personal knight, and the Head Priest is obsessed with her! The Male leads she wished to avoid won't leave her alone! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Obsessive male lead- check. Funny but strong female lead- check. Amazing family- check. Annoying Goddess- also check.
A Hero
Adeline knew that he must have swallowed some water unconsciously. Though she was exhausted from pulling him out of the lake, she mustered up all her strength and pushed him on his side hoping he wouldn't choke on the swallowed water.
What happened next really surprised her, her hand that had been supporting his back was stained red with blood. Adeline was worried that he got hurt somehow in the lake and tried to examine the wound when she discovered the whip marks engraved on his skin. There were a few scars that showed that this wasn't the first time it happened.
Unknowingly she reached out to touch the wounds. Cassian immediately flinched in response to the pain. She instantly drew back her hands.
