I thought I’d finally beat the damn game.
After seventy-two straight hours of grinding through secret romance flags and dodging death scenes in the brutal fantasy dating sim "Celestial Hearts: Sword & Seduction", I blacked out in my chair—and woke up in the worst possible role:
Not the hero. Not even a side character.
Nope. I’m Lucien Eldegrande, the smug, overpowered prince and final boss villain doomed to die so the protagonist can get his happy ending with any of the five heroines.
But I know all the routes. Every twist. Every trap. Every hidden stat.
So here’s my plan: break the game.
I’ll romance the heroines first—charm them, protect them, and rewrite their destinies. No death flags. No betrayals. No tragic end.
Just one tiny problem…
Each heroine is secretly a legendary warrior, cursed goddess, or walking apocalypse in disguise—and they’re starting to notice that I’m not acting like the villain they remember.
If I play this wrong? I die horribly.
But if I win their hearts first?
The Final Boss just might become the true protagonist.
