I Tried to Twist the Original Story But Ended Up Seducing the Northern Duke

Reborn as the villainous Princess Lily in her favorite romance novel—a story she had memorized down to its final spinoff—she knows exactly how her tale ends: a tragic demise following her engagement to the crown prince. Desperate to rewrite her fate and avoid this doomed conclusion, she devises a plan to alter the original plot. However, her attempt to twist the narrative quickly spirals out of control when her eccentric father arrives not with the crown prince’s proposal, but with an unexpected engagement letter from the Northern Grand Duke. To make matters worse, the man standing before her is no mere stranger. The Northern Grand Duke is the original male protagonist of the very novel she sought to manipulate, and he has arrived fully prepared to claim her. Rather than keeping his distance, he reveals that he has harbored feelings for her for quite some time. Now trapped in a storyline far more unpredictable than the one she tried to escape, Lily faces an overwhelming new reality. The formidable duke is utterly determined to seduce her, confessing that her gaze alone leaves his heart in turmoil. In her effort to dodge one tragic ending, she may have inadvertently drawn the attention of the most dangerous man in the story.
