In every story, there is a male lead, a female lead and a second male lead. But what about the second female lead? 

Be it the unloved queen of a cold and distant king, the plain bodyguard of the forgotten prince, the evil stepsister of the well-loved genius, the servant who died protecting her lady or the defeated villainess. No one cares about their stories. 

This is the playbook of all forgotten second female leads. 

Volume IV: The Villainess who was defeated by the Gods (completed)
'In every story, there is a villain who has been defeated.  What happens to the defeated villain?'

After Lorelei's plot to overthrow the gods failed, she was stripped of her power and voice. She became a mermaid bound to a lake, with her enemy (the god) keeping guard of her. 
This is a story between a defeated villainess and her enemy.

Volume III: The evil stepsister who has lived through FIVE lives (completed)
'Please let me rest in peace!'

Odette was once an heiress who had it all, be it money, status or fiance. When her perfect stepsister appeared, she realized she was just a villain in this story. 
Odette, being the evil stepsister, was of course killed off halfway through the story. When she opened her eyes again she was reborn, but no matter what she did, she died in the end. 
Having experienced burning on a stake, the guillotine, hanging and stabbing to death, all she wanted now was to die normally after a normal life.


Volume II: Body guard of a forgotten prince (completed)
"You're just my tool. Know your place." 

It's her duty to follow her master's command. Even at the risk of injuring herself or losing her mind. 
It's his right to use her cold-heartedly. Even discarding her when she had become useless. 
She was a bird trapped inside a gilded cage, slowly losing her mind in the process.

Volume I: Rebirth of the unloved, forgotten Queen (completed)
"Let's break off our engagement. I don't want to be Queen anymore. You don't like me anyway."

At twenty, Liana died as she watched her country burned to ashes. 
When she opened her eyes, she was sixteen again. The first thing she planned to do was breaking off her engagement with Prince Sebastian. 
This is her story as a reborn queen.

Second Female Leads' Playbook

After replenishing my dwindling supply and munching a cookie Lord Valentine prepared for me, I resume my journey.

"Alright Dolphin, let's go and get Lord Valentine's fruit."

Dolphin squirts some water at me and returns to its job. It seems like even Dolphin has had enough with this realm too.

I am strutting along this muddy trek when I notice a shiny rock by the side of the road. I am not joking when I said shiny. It's shining brightly. Really brightly. To the point that no one can ignore it.
