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.
Won't Run Away
To resurrect her, he needed a perfect vessel, one capable of withstanding the process without disintegrating. Adeline was that vessel.
He kept thinking about how Annora ruined his plans in his past life. It was her wasn't she? She gave him another chance. Because of her, he came back to the past. Why did she do this? A chase, a push and pull.
Why not give and come to him? She clearly cared about him. As much as he tried to understand her, he couldn't. Why give him hope and cruelly take it away?! She needed to be held responsible.
Adeline's body's unique resonance with holy energy made her the key to his plans. But he couldn't simply take her soul- not yet. She was still young, her body unprepared for the ritual.
He needed her closer, under his influence, and if that meant destabilizing empires and kingdoms to claim her, so be it.
