The Villainess Who Stole the Paladin's First

Reborn into the body of Elenia Arpine, a villainess destined to perish from her obsessive jealousy toward the saint, I find myself trapped in a disastrous timeline. My awakening occurs on the worst possible morning: the day after Elenia seduced Laurent, the saint’s most devoted paladin, and spent the night with him. Desperate to avoid the tragic fate awaiting this character, I immediately insist that nothing truly transpired between us. However, Laurent refuses to let the matter rest so easily. Instead of dismissing the encounter, he earnestly demands that I take responsibility for claiming his virginity. What begins as an awkward attempt to rewrite my doomed future quickly spirals into something far more unexpected. Laurent is not merely seeking an apology; he is determined to bind our fates together. Taking matters into his own hands, he approaches the emperor directly to negotiate, formally requesting me by name. The loyal knight who should have belonged solely to the saint's cause now declares that I, Elenia Arpine, am the only thing he desires. Caught between avoiding my original demise and navigating the intense devotion of a man I was never supposed to entangle with, my new life takes a dramatic and unforeseen turn.
