_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.

With enemies on all sides and time running out, Astrid realizes her fate is sealed unless she takes matters into her own hands.

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

Amalia harbored no goodwill toward the Valeria family.

She neither wanted to involve herself with them nor engage in deeper communication with Livia, even though the other party might be the only person she could attempt to converse with in years.

Livia also sensed Amalia's rejection, and her tone softened further.

"We will be neighbors from now on. Miss Amalia, feel free to come to me if you have any problem.."

Looking at the woman's fair and delicate face, and the noble aura radiating from her, Amalia suddenly thought of something.

Her eyes dimmed, and she spoke in a low voice.

"Thank you... I won't trouble you..."

"You should not... go near Auri..."

After saying this, Amalia turned around, leaving Livia with only the sight of her slender back.

Although she was deeply curious about Livia's identity and purpose, even if she asked, the other party had no reason or motivation to reveal the truth about her situation.

It seemed a certain princess was still somewhat curious about her...
