Let Me Kidnap the Male Lead!

The crash of her carriage should have been the end—but for Vivian, it was only the beginning of a far more terrible awakening. She remembered everything: her past life, this world, and her fate as a minor villainess in the novel *The Bloody Flower*. In the original story, she was destined to kidnap the male lead, only to be killed for her trouble. Yet now that she lives that role, she discovers a cruel twist: if she does not abduct him and deliver him safely to the female lead, a demonic apocalypse will devour the realm. The task seems straightforward—until she realizes the novel described the male lead with a single, maddeningly vague word: *handsome*. In a world overflowing with breathtaking men, that clue is worse than useless. Thirty separate kidnapping attempts later, Vivian has accumulated not a single captive prince, but a growing collection of smitten admirers—each one a wrong target who thoroughly enjoyed the luxurious accommodations and doting treatment of their "hostage experience." Her reputation as the most bafflingly incompetent kidnapper in the kingdom spreads far and wide, while the demon's clock ticks ever closer to zero. Desperate and exhausted, Vivian finds herself wishing for just one clear sign, one unmistakable face among the sea of pretty smiles, to point her toward the man who holds the world's salvation—and her own survival—in his hands.
