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.

The Duchess gently touched Adeline's shoulder, she showed her rare tender side before immediately firming up.
"This matter is mine to handle now," She declared. "Rest assured, no harm will come to you again."
Yes, the Duchess gave utmost importance to status and lineage. But seeing Dimitri's courage she was proved wrong, he was a true noble...
He gently guided Adeline toward the waiting carriage, glancing back at the Duchess with a look of gratitude.
Once Adeline was safely on her way, the Duchess turned her full attention to the mansion. Her knights had already stormed inside, and moments later, they emerged dragging the Duke out.
His once-proud figure was dishevelled, his clothes torn and bloodied from his earlier struggles. But it wasn't just his physical state that was unsettling... It was his demeanour, his behaviour.
