Ten Ways to Get Dumped by a Tyrant

Scarlett Arman is far from an ordinary noblewoman. Though she holds the prestigious title of the emperor’s fiancée, her true distinction lies in a much stranger reality: she has recently been reincarnated as a character within the pages of a fantasy novel. Armed with the foreknowledge of the story’s tragic trajectory, Scarlett understands all too well that her engagement to Emperor Charleon Kalior is destined to end in her own gruesome demise at his hands. Refusing to accept this grim conclusion, Scarlett devises a bold survival strategy. She resolves to provoke the tyrannical ruler into breaking off their betrothal himself, thereby severing the ties that bind her to a fatal destiny. Her plan seems straightforward enough—she simply needs to become someone he can no longer tolerate. However, executing this scheme proves far more complicated than anticipated. Rather than growing disgusted or enraged by her deliberate provocations, Charleon inexplicably begins seeking out her company. The harder Scarlett tries to push him away, the more the emperor insists on spending time by her side, leaving her trapped in a dangerous game where her carefully calculated efforts to be dumped only seem to draw the tyrant closer.
