I possessed the male lead’s first love. A villainess who, after being cast aside by him, torments the heroine and ultimately meets a miserable end.

Just two more months.

If I could endure for only two more months, the male lead would turn his attention to the heroine, and I would be discarded like yesterday’s news.

So I decided not to mess with the original storyline and just go along with things, such as accepting the male lead’s affections until he grew tired of me and fell for the heroine instead.

Of course, I had plans to use (?) him a little too…

“Ariel, please…”

…Only to get caught up with the dangerously irresistible male lead in a way I hadn’t anticipated.

Time passed, and finally, the two months were up.

Just as in the original story, once Hestia, the heroine, returned from her studies abroad, she was supposed to be officially named the male lead’s one and only empress.

So there I was, busy preparing for my impending freedom, when a bolt from the blue struck me.

“Ariel Winstor Roimann, the imperial consort, shall be crowned Empress. And from this day forth, I will not marry anyone but the Empress.”
