Originally from another world, Danielle is a noblewoman of the Velvedelle Empire. Ever since she read the book based on the world she now lives in, her attention was stolen not by the female lead, or the male lead, or even the villainess or last boss, but by the second-male lead.
So ever since she awakened with memories of her previous life, she decided to give her everything to the man she thought deserved to shine.
However, when her heart sways into the pit of despair, how does Danielle - whose initial role was as the novel's only villainess - respond?
------------------------------------
As the beautiful couple said their vows, many eyes momentarily flittered towards me. It's only normal, I have been long known as Marquis Blades besotted fan.
A bit overexagerated, really. All they are doing is having fun at my expense. In truth, no one knows exactly how much pain I'm going through watching my childhood friend - the man I've supported all the way, the man I've loved even before I was born in this world - wed another.

Why The Hell is Fate Trying to Kill Me?
Can I twist my own fate? Can I avoid my own death? I woke up with no memories, only to discover I am Aurelia Aurelius-the "Villainess" of a story destined for a brutal execution. My plan was simple: defy the book. I saved orphans from the streets to change the future. But I learnt the hard way that Fate isn't just a script; it is a living force that bites back. My interference didn't save them-it triggered a "retaliation" that burnt another orphan's future to ash. Now, the Goddess has awakened. As I try to navigate this broken narrative, I realise something is wrong. The book describes the Crown Prince in perfect detail. It describes the villainess-me-down to my last sin. But the Heroine? She has no name. She has no face. The book never says who she is, only what she does. Trapped between a Royal Family that fears me and a destiny that wants me dead, I must survive long enough to answer one question: Who is the Main Character?
