I Stole the Male Lead's First Night

After a single drunken mistake, an ordinary woman finds herself reincarnated as Ripley, the daughter of a count and a mere background character in a novel. Embracing her unexpected new role as the story's female lead, she resolves to indulge in the wealth and luxury of aristocratic life that eluded her in her previous existence. Her last clear memory is drinking alone in a corner at a grand party, but she awakens the following morning in the male lead’s bed. The situation spirals out of control when he publicly declares that she must take responsibility for spending their first night together, instantly painting a target on her back from the story's obsessive villainess. Now caught between the most possessive man in the empire and a dangerous antagonist, Ripley knows exactly how grim the original female lead's fate can be. Desperate to escape his intense fixation, she employs every unrefined tactic imaginable—deliberately causing trouble, neglecting her hygiene, and acting as outrageously as possible to drive him away. Yet, despite her relentless efforts to repulse him, the male lead’s unwavering devotion only deepens, and his singular focus begins to shake the very foundation of the story she thought she knew.
