Aika never expected that reading a novel before bed would drag her into the very world she despised.
She wakes up as a side character-a lowly maid who, in the original story, dies nameless. Without power, without protection, and armed only with her memory of the plot, Aika knows one thing:
"If she wants to live, she must stay away from the villainess."
The problem is, it is Elowen-the cold, manipulative villainess feared by the entire palace-who is the first to look at her as if Aika is more than just a pawn.
Elowen is supposed to be the heroine's main enemy.
She is supposed to die at the end of the story.
And Aika was never supposed to be involved with her.
Yet amid political intrigue, palace conspiracies, and a world that forces everyone to choose a side, Elowen offers Aika something she has never had: protection-at the price of absolute loyalty.
As the line between manipulation and emotion begins to blur, Aika must choose:
survive by following the story's original path...
or shatter fate alongside the woman she was meant to hate.
Because in this world, loving the villainess is not just dangerous-
it is an act of betrayal against the story itself.
