The Male Lead Is the Final Villain, and I’m the Only One Who Knows

Synopsis

It was truly nothing more than a coincidence.

I happened to encounter the ultimate final villain of the original novel before his identity had even been revealed.

“You there. Who are you?”

“Oh, shit…”

The moment my eyes met those of Ivan Pell Erzet—the crown prince of the Empire, the original novel’s second male lead, and a man everyone praised as an angel—I turned around and ran without looking back.

‘The second male lead is the final villain? What kind of completely messed-up novel is this?!’

I figured there was nothing to worry about since there was no way he would know the name of some insignificant extra from the frontier.

But then…

“A marriage proposal has arrived for you, My Lady!”

“Oh, someone must have sent it to the wrong person again.”

“It came from the Imperial Palace.”

“What?”

Suddenly, a marriage proposal arrived from him.

“You’re the first young lady to remain alive even after learning my true identity. Congratulations.”

“…Ah, yes.”

“You don’t look very happy.”

For a moment, Ivan’s green eyes narrowed into a thin curve.

Just like they had that day, when everything had been drenched in red.

“I-I’m just so honored that I’m a little choked up…”

“I knew it.”

Forget being the future benevolent emperor and an angel.

This man is nothing but a devil!

I decided to quickly give him whatever he wanted so I could survive and then escape!

“You certainly have a talent for running away. It makes me want to lock you up.”

“You said you liked me… You were lying?”

“Rine, don’t hate me…”

…The final villain keeps becoming obsessed with me.

What am I supposed to do?
