(Male MC). MXMXF love triangle -both bl and straight pairing.
Elliot Grant is a quiet, bookish man who spends his nights escaping into the pages of his favorite fantasy-romance novel.

One fateful night, Elliot is mysteriously transported into the story, waking up as a side character: Elias, the prince’s loyal and somewhat overlooked confidant. At first, Elliot is thrilled. He decides to stay true to the story’s plot, determined to play his part without interfering in Aedric and Selene’s fateful romance. He uses his knowledge of the book to subtly ensure their bond grows as written.

But things take an unexpected turn when Elliot’s actions create unintended ripple effects.  Elliot tries to step back, unwilling to disrupt the couple’s destiny, but the growing tension between the three becomes undeniable. 

In a world where bonds are forged by battle and trust, the three must navigate their intertwined feelings while facing looming threats: assassins, a brewing rebellion, and a dark sorcerer bent on controlling the Shattered Crown.

As Elliot’s presence continues to reshape the story, he’s forced to question the very nature of fate. Is he here to witness the love between Aedric and Selene? Or is he meant to be part of it?

I'm possessing the Second Male Lead of a Romance Novel

The grand dining hall of Viscount Dustin's estate was lavishly decorated, with golden chandeliers casting a warm glow over the table adorned with a feast fit for royalty.

The Viscount welcomed Prince Aedric, Lady Selene, Elias, and their small retinue of servants with the kind of practiced hospitality one would expect from a noble well-versed in courtly manners.

His smile never faltered, his words were smooth, and his demeanor radiated charm.

"I am truly honored to host you, Your Highness, Lady Selene, and Priest Elias," the Viscount said, raising his glass in a toast. "I have long admired the wisdom and strength of the imperial family. Your presence here elevates my humble home."

Prince Aedric nodded in acknowledgment, though his expression remained impassive. Selene smiled politely but offered no words. Elias, seated slightly apart from the royal pair, observed the Viscount closely. Something about the man's overly polished demeanor felt... off.
