I Bought the Land, Not a Man

Reincarnated into the pages of a novel she once read, Eliana has no interest in enduring the exhausting trials of a fictional heroine. Instead, she chooses a far more comfortable path: serving as the loyal maid to the story’s actual protagonist, Eslyn Arnele. Armed with intimate knowledge of the narrative’s future events, Eliana quietly leverages her position to invest in land, aiming to build a lucrative life as a well-compensated background character rather than risking her safety in the spotlight. However, her shrewd real estate ventures inadvertently draw the attention of Sortain Bisto, the novel’s primary antagonist destined to plunder Eslyn’s family fortune. Intrigued by the clever maid, Sortain begins taking an unwelcome interest in her affairs. Completely unimpressed by his advances, Eliana remains steadfastly focused on her twin goals: safeguarding her mistress from impending ruin and amassing her own property empire. Yet, as the villain grows increasingly determined to insert himself into her plans, Eliana must navigate a dangerous game to ensure that his interference does not destroy the wealthy, peaceful future she is working so hard to secure.
