The Male Lead Proposed to Me

When Ciel opens her eyes, she finds herself trapped within the pages of a novel as its notorious villainess. In the original story, this character relentlessly torments her adopted sister, Clara—the tale's beloved heroine—until her cruelty ultimately leads to a grim execution. Desperate to escape this tragic fate, Ciel resolves to rewrite her destiny by becoming the most devoted and affectionate sister imaginable, dedicating herself entirely to ensuring Clara’s happiness. However, her earnest efforts to mend their relationship inadvertently send the narrative spiraling in an unexpected direction. By showering Clara with kindness, Ciel alters the very fabric of the plot. To her absolute astonishment, these changes culminate in Prince Alex, the story’s male lead, offering his hand in marriage not to Clara, but to her. Now standing at a bewildering crossroads, Ciel must navigate a storyline that has completely deviated from the script she once knew. Accepting the prince’s proposal might secure the peaceful future she so desperately craves, or it could plunge her into even more daunting challenges than before. As the rewritten tale unfolds, Ciel is left to wonder whether this unforeseen romance will grant her the happy ending she seeks or merely set the stage for a new struggle.
