“I should have told you directly? I hate you.”
At 12, Charlotte Daphsine realized she had reincarnated as the villainess of a novel, the embodiment of all the villainous traits.
She struggled to change her fate but resigned herself to the unchanging original storyline. Then, unexpectedly, her husband begged for her love. Desperately, pitifully.
But Charlotte harshly rejected him.
“Why, why do you hate me?”
Even as tears streamed down his face, more beautiful than any woman’s, as he looked at her with pleading eyes,
“I hate your unruly long hair. I hate your more beautiful-than-a-woman face, your learning of magic instead of the sword, your constant presence at home, your affectionate personality. I hate everything about you.”
“If I were to fix all of that… Charlotte, could you love me?”
“No. Because it’s you, everything about you will still be detestable.”
She cut off the glimmer of hope he offered. After all, he was destined to be the male lead who would eventually bring the heroine to a happy ending.
But then…
Her husband, the very man she detested so much…
“Novem, he’s dead?”
He was.
***
Three years passed. For Charlotte, that time was a series of regrets.
As she shed tears while reading the letters he left behind,
“Is Novem alive?”
Suddenly, she finds herself back to before she married him. But her husband in front of her is strange.
“So because you’re a noble, you think you can wander around this crazy place?”
“You should stop your unpleasant behavior here, milady.”
He’s changed 180 degrees in both personality and appearance.
Is he just another Novem Aphros in a parallel world, or…
“Did you really think you could escape from me?”
Or is he really her husband?
