_Astra_20

Imagine waking up as the villain in your sister's cheesy fantasy novel. Yeah, not ideal, especially when that villain is destined for hatred, and a grim end in some forgotten dungeon. That's Astrid's new reality. Her old life? Gone. Her new mission? Survive. And step one means throwing the original script out the window.

But changing fate is way harder than it sounds. In a desperate move, Astrid makes the story's heroine, Lyra, her personal maid. Clever, right? Except teaching Lyra magic and treating her like, well, a person, backfires spectacularly. Lyra's gratitude twists into something intense, dark, and possessive.

And she's not the only one. Astrid tries mending fences with her powerful aunt, only to find herself smothered by a love that feels dangerously close to madness. Even her ambitious half-sister, originally her rival, gets weirdly attached after Astrid shows her a bit of warmth and helps her gain power using some modern-world smarts.

Astrid thought she was being clever, building alliances, creating intelligence networks, rewriting roles. She is changing the story, but it's warping everyone around her. Their loyalty? It's becoming obsession. Their affection? A dangerous fixation.

Now, Astrid isn't just fighting the plot. She's drowning in a mess of her own making – caught between people who crave her, tangled in lies and affections twisted way out of shape. Everyone wants her, and sharing isn't remotely on their agenda.

Determined to survive, Astrid decides to fight back, but as she begins to navigate this world, something feels... off. Why is the Main Protagonist, now showing her unexpected kindness? Why is her step-sister, who should be plotting her downfall, suddenly seeking her favor?

Princess’s Struggle for Survival

In the imperial capital of the Valeria Empire, a beautiful girl with silver hair and red eyes sat at her desk.

Her arms were obliquely supported, the back of her hand gently propping up her cheek, while her slender, well-proportioned legs, clad in black silk, were naturally close together.

Her eyes were intently focused on the parchment book in front of her.

Three days had passed since the underground dungeon fight, and after a brief vacation, Astrid had returned to her never-ending study of magic.

She had now begun to systematically study the magic circle that Charlotte had mentioned before.

Although her mental power reserves were still only at the level of a low level Apprentice—barely enough to release an intermediate-level ice spell, the one with the highest affinity for her, she knew that continuing to focus on Low level spells would not bring her any significant improvement.

Instead, it would only waste her energy.
