"Transmigrating into a cannon fodder villain from her favourite novel, Cecil Lan, our heroine decides to change her entire fate.

Her only goal was to prevent her precious protagonist from meeting the miserable ending, and to help him live happily ever after with the main female lead. 

It was all going well until...the protagonist falls in love with Cecil Lan instead, including all of his other fifty soul fragments scattered throughout the world."

Second Lead Syndrome

Earlier, Cecil was too immersed in her own thoughts, not noticing that Rugi was following behind her all along. Seeing the offered handkerchief and the handsome sea green-haired man, who bore a resemblance to Xue, she blinked in shock, a stray tear slipping down her face. 


It was a black handkerchief with the insignia that was sewn in white. 


She recalled seeing the insignia scattered around the brothel. However, Cecil also saw the same insignia surrounding Haru's crew wherever they went.  


It was the insignia of the organization Kiba was leading to thwart Ephert's goals. 


"What should I take your silence response as?" Rugi smiled, tilting his head. "If you would like me to dry your tears, I'll gladly do so." 


"Ah, I--" Cecil sniffled, taking the handkerchief from his hand. "It's alright, I can do it myself, thank you."
