In My Next Life I'll Win the Heart of the Male Lead
There's nothing wrong with Adelaide's life. There's nothing wrong with being cheated on. After all, half of marriages end in divorce and most end from infidelity. There's nothing wrong with getting addicted to an otome game. After all, everybody has something they're obsessed with. There's nothing wrong with reincarnating as the villainess instead of the heroine. After all, the villainess is richer and more powerful. There's nothing wrong with the villainess chasing after one of the love interests. After all, it's not like he's the canon route. There's nothing wrong with Ophelia's life.

I gaze out over the horizon. The golden hues of sunset streak over the hills beyond us, lighting them in a fiery glow.
It's been two months.
It's been two months I've been free of him.
It's been two months since I've heard his voice.
Since I've seen his stupid smile.
It's been two months of thinking of every single moment.
Every choice I made.
Every mistake that lead to the moment when he vanished into nothing.
It's been two months of regretting.
Two months of longing.
I'm a damn fool.
It's a simple fact that I keep returning to.
It's the only logical conclusion I can reach.
I'm a blasted, wretched, stupid, naive, hopeful, foolish idiot.
I shouldn't-
I close my eyes and turn my gaze to the ground, covering my face with a gloved hand.
I have work to do.
And instead of doing that, I'm sitting out here and watching the sunset.
Why the hell-...
