Hello, this is a TOTCF story that I am picking up for a friend, @Trinitypurple. Please enjoy!
You were transmigrated into your favorite novel, Trash of the Count's Family. Worse yet, you're not a powerful hero or a cunning villain-you're M/n, an orphan trying to survive alongside your little sister Chloe. At first, it seems like you're just another bystander in a world of magic and conspiracies, but soon you realize there's far more to your new life than meets the eye.
Your memories remain intact, and adjusting to this new world is as chaotic as expected. Back in your first life, you were a high school or college student juggling Tae Kwon Do, violin practice, and an insatiable love for novels-especially TOTCF, which you practically devoured. These skills now serve as lifelines. But your knowledge of the story makes you cautious-one wrong move, and you might find yourself swept into the chaos you're desperately trying to avoid.
Yet, something feels off. Strange memories and unexplainable sensations surface at the edges of your mind, like echoes of a past that isn't yours. Your strength and resilience seem to go beyond what should be possible, and a fiery energy you can't quite control stirs within you, revealing itself in moments of danger. You dismiss it as an oddity-at least, until others begin to notice too.
As the truth about yourself begins to unravel, you're left with more questions than answers. Who-or what-are you? And why does it feel like your presence here is rewriting the story itself?
In a world where danger lurks behind every corner and your knowledge of the future might be as much a curse as a blessing, the choices you make will determine whether you remain a mere bystander or become something far greater.
Remember, this is a MALE READER story. MxM will be present.

Have you ever had one of those terrible yet annoyingly pivotal moments? You know, that monumental fragment of time that flips everything you have ever known. That plot twist second that completely takes you by surprise. The one just before the storm hits and everything goes to hell. Yes? Because you see, that moment happens to be my whole damn life.
It wasn't always like this though. I used to have a pretty mundane existence, happy to just get good grades and be around my friends. God I wish I could get that simplicity back, I'd never complain it was boring again. But I know I'm not going to ever get back my old life because well... I died. (Kinda)
But I woke up.
And I was thrilled, beyond grateful I wasn't dead. But then I realized that there was one minor detail that had changed about my reality.
I was given the chance to live but it turns out I woke up as the villainess in an otome game my friend used to be obsessed with - Kingdom of freaking Hearts (I added the freaking in there for effect, it's just Kingdom of Hearts)
Where, for the record, the villainess only has two possible endings
1) execution and 2) getting exiled. So Fate was like, "Don't worry, I'll save you. Here's a chance to live" and then was like "psyche, screw you. You're still going to die but I'll let you suffer a little first."
So now, if only to annoy Fate by proving it wrong, I am determined to survive. I can and I will if I play by these simple rules:
1) Befriend Heroin
2) Avoid Aryn Edwards at All Costs as well as other capture targets
And 3) Be the top student at the academy and become an invaluable asset to my Kingdom so I become indispensable, thus unkillable.
I'm determined, stubborn, persistent and I will live passed 16. Fate made a big mistake setting me up to die. Since it threw this plot twist at me, I figure I'll return the favor. I'll be the biggest plot twist Fate never saw coming...
