    Summary

    No.

    She never wants to be the main character. She had read enough novels and stories to know what that meant. Tragedy, challenges, endless turmoil.

    The main character never got an easy life.

    And she didn’t ask for any of this. She didn’t ask to wake up in this strange world, in someone else’s life.

    “I’m stealing someone’s life, Vinter!” Elara’s fists tightened. The tears were falling now—angry, frightened, helpless tears. “What if she’s out there suffering because I’ve taken her place? What if I’m the reason the kingdom is unraveling? The monsters, the war, Reynold being sent to the border—it all began after I arrived. Can’t you see that?”

    She was spiraling, her voice rising with every word, trembling with guilt and desperation. Vinter stepped closer, gently, like approaching a wounded animal that might bolt.

    “No, Elara. This world is not a fucking novel anymore. It’s fucking real. Just because the novel only surrounded Penelope and her love story doesn’t mean everyone else is living a happy normal life. Monsters are all over the place. Children are starving. Soldiers have to fight. It always works like that. And nothing is caused by a damn presence.”

    Summary

    Cale Henituse died a hero—peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, finally ready to embrace the slacker life. So waking up on a freezing sidewalk in Seoul as starving teen Cha Roksoo, with a crying little sister and no mother in sight? Yeah. He’s pissed.

    This isn’t Earth 1. Or Earth 2. And it’s definitely not the afterlife. It’s just hell. Again.

    Things get worse when he realizes his sister is Cha Siyeon, the real-world counterpart of Penelope Eckhart, the doomed villainess from the game “Daughter of the Duke: Love Project!”—a game she played right before they both got sucked in. Now? They're trapped inside it. Siyeon as Penelope. Cale as her unplanned, unwanted older brother. Thanks, God of Death. Sincerely, go die.

    The plot doesn’t know he exists. The goddamn Ekhart family is watching them like hawks. And now there’s a pest named Vinter clinging to his sister, and a bastard crown prince breathing down his neck.

    But Cale’s got goals: protect his sister, scam his way through nobility, and maybe—finally—kill a god.
    Mostly though?

    He just wants his damn slacker life back.

    (slacker-life-chan please don't leave me!)

    Summary

    Caught between Derrick and Eckles, Penelope dies.

    Then, she breathes again.

    With her newfound knowledge of what's to come, and a little more insight on the male protagonists, she starts over from the beginning. This time, she's intent on getting out of this game, once and for all. If that means she has to tame the crazy Prince, or befriend her brothers, she will.

     

    AKA How would the story have changed if Penelope didn't immediately cross off everyone's names at the beginning?
