I'm 41 chapters in and all I see is a whiny and childish female lead. There's no development, no plan and certainly not even a hint of the scene that happened in the prologue. Not to mention, she's so f*cking rude to her servants who haven't even been shown to be bad. This is basically the POV of a typical two-faced heroine in a typical villainous reincarnation novel.

Since the og soul of the body was almost the same as her, treated like nobody and she can only accept scraps of other people and stay in the shadows. And who wouldn't be mad after you died from an accident just to apply for the super minor role that has a slim chance of her being accepted? And coincidentally, the movie she will apply to is the same novel she was transmigrated into. Then, there was suddenly a maid who was too cheerful and beside her, who at the moment was resentful of her fate.

Elseid is endgame. As for Salleos, it's a bit bittersweet. So bittersweet that a few ridi comments had grievances about him not being the ML 🤣 (rest seemed team Elseid tho). I'm kinda with them though, and I'll explain at the bottom of the spoiler. But yeah, I skimmed through and Salleos gives mega second ML-syndrome. Like god these lines...

Lillian, who was looking down at the petals, looked up at Salleos. Even from afar, his red hair and sensual face caught her eye. His lips, which had kissed her time and time again, and which had spouted sweet lies, whispered silently to her.

"I'll wait for you, always."

Until you need me again one day. And until the day I'm given a second chance.

Okay, no. I was originally going to insert just these lines but I'm giving you the full passage because I'm in shambles lol:

A hot, sweet whisper of the devil seemed to resonate in my ears. Lillian blinked, and the figure of Salleos slowly scattered amongst the fluttering petals. As if it were a drowsy dream on a spring day.

Lillian stared at the place where Salleos had disappeared. Elseid then asked, tilting his head.

"What's wrong? Is there something there?"

Lillian, who had been silent, grabbed the petals on the palm of her hand tightly. And looking up at Elseid, she smiled innocently.

"..... Nothing."

As she said, Lillian herself was a bit greedy. She chose Elseid, but she didn't want to let Salleos go. Once signed, Salleos was her devil. So he had to stay with her until she died.

'You never know what's ahead of you.'

Lillian loved Elseid. But she was somewhat skeptical about telling him all the facts. Starting with the story of signing a contract with the devil, coming from a different world, and not wanting to say anything about the original (story).

That was Lillian's honest feelings.

Good grief, so basically Salleos has to outlive and watch his contractor/beloved die? And choosing between Elseid and Salleos... Salleos knows her truth and she doesn't need to hide her true self. I probably missed something regarding Salleos that warrants him to wanting a "second chance" since I skimmed to the end, but agh harem books always get me like this lol
