How to Tame the Merciless Villain

After suddenly transmigrating into the pages of the novel "The Treacherous Sorcerer," I find myself trapped in the body of a minor supporting character whose fate is already sealed. According to the original storyline, Kian—the story’s primary antagonist—eventually massacres every noble within the empire, and my current identity is destined to be among his victims. To avoid this gruesome end, I realize that my only option is to intervene before his descent into madness begins. Knowing that Kian endured a brutal and agonizing past that ultimately forged him into a ruthless villain, I resolve to shower him with kindness and care, hoping to steer him away from his dark path. My plan sets into motion when I purchase and rescue Kian from a slave market, intending to nurture him into someone who would never dream of destroying the world. However, my well-meaning intervention yields an unexpected complication: rather than simply softening his heart, my compassion sparks a fierce and consuming obsession directed entirely at me. Now, instead of merely preventing an empire-wide slaughter, I must navigate the intense fixation of a boy destined for darkness. Caught between rewriting a tragic destiny and managing Kian's overwhelming attachment, I am left wondering if I can truly protect us both from the catastrophic fate that looms ahead.
