‘I became a part of a novel story.’

To be more precise, I died and woke up only to become a vicious villain from a novel.

‘Come to think of it, it’s already been two weeks.’

Two weeks have passed since I woke up in this body.

Before entering the banquet hall, I paused for a moment and glanced at the window next to me.

My image was reflected on the white frosted glass window.

Blue eyes like sapphire. A straight nose and red lips. Red blonde hair tied in a half ponytail.

A gorgeous pale green silk dress that stretches into the floor.

It is the appearance of ‘Princess Eve’  who seems to have popped out of a novel.

It may be an understatement to say that I came out of a novel.

Because I was definitely inside a novel.

As I passed by the entrance and walked down the hallway leading to the banquet hall.

As soon as the door opened, a bright light poured out.

At the same time, someone’s bewildered voice was heard.

“Oh my God, it’s the princess!”

At that one word, everyone’s eyes turned to me.

I took each step without a care.

As soon as I entered the spacious banquet hall, the buzzing sound disappeared at once.

Even the softly flowing music disappeared without a trace.

Everyone stopped like a still image and looked at me.

‘So this is what it feels like to be a top star.’

In fact, rather than being a top star, what I received were tensed gaze as If they’re looking at a crazy terrorist or a dangerous explosive.

‘Well, that’s understandable.’

Because the violent and ruthless ‘Princess Eve’ has always caused a huge stir in the social circles of the capital.

In particular, the past month has been the worst.

It was at the level of cuteness that Princess Eve cried and caused a huge disturbance in the presence of the Emperor, saying that she would like to marry her unrequited love, the Grand Duke.

After she rebuked the ministers to prepare for marriage, and beat the court ladies who continuously looked and adored the Grand Duke. 

The Grand Duke still continues to refuse the marriage. Princess Eve would then destroy everything in the room and even threaten a hunger strike. 

Literally, the owner of her body did things that a normal human being can’t do for a month.

‘It was kind of funny when I read it in the novel.’

But the problem is that I have become the ruthless Princess Eve.

A one-dimensional villain with a stupid and bad personality.

Eve was an unfortunate villain who was killed in vain and left alone until she died in the middle of the story plot.

‘… … Even if it’s just a dream, it’s an extraordinary nightmare that will remain in my memory for the rest of my life.”

Unfortunately this was not a dream.

Even if I pinched myself multiple times until my skin swelled up, I’m still inside Eve’s body.

No matter how many times I tried to sleep and woke up, I still remained in this strange world.

So I accepted the reality. A really horrifying reality.

“We greet you, Your Highness……”

The people who came to their senses later faltered and bowed their heads.

The sound of the music that had been cut off barely continues.

I walked towards the center of the ballroom, ignoring people’s greetings.

To be precise, I walked towards the man in the center.

Gorgeous chandeliers poured dazzling light on the smooth marble floor.

Beneath the bright lights, a tall young man was seen shining brighter than ever.

Black hair like the night sky and mysterious purple eyes. A feature that draws straight and beautiful lines like a statue.

It’s such a perfect face that even I can’t draw it even if I tried to.

I’ve seen that face a few times already, but every time I see him, I’m always amazed.

‘I can’t believe that someone could have a face like him.’

The most handsome person that I’ve ever seen in my life.

This man is Terrence.

The Grand Duke of the Albion Empire and the sub-male lead of this novel.

And he was also the fiance of Princess Eve, whom I currently possess.

‘He was Eve’s unrequited love, after she fell for him at first sight.’

But the Grand Duke hated Eve.

He looked at me as if he was looking at a very disgusting bug.

Just as the rumors said, the Grand Duke did not use any violence because Eve was a woman, but it would be differ if she was a man, she would have been killed by him even if she’s the Emperor’s child.

In the sudden silence, the Grand Duke turned to me.

“Gasp.”

I heard people holding their breath.

Tension began to creep over the heavy silence.

‘Well that’s understandable.’

Since in the original story, whenever the Grand Duke and Princess Eve meet, a dramatic scene always takes place.

Most of the time, the Grand Duke would get angry and push Eve away, after that she would cry endlessly and cause a disturbance as she destroyed the surroundings.

Of course, it made the boring party much more interesting.

But today will be a little different.

I stopped at the center of the dance floor, as I faced the Grand Duke.

“Here you are, I’ve been looking all over for you Grand Duke.” 

Of course, I didn’t forget to smile affectionately, as if full of anticipation.

There was a heavy silence around him that made it impossible to breathe.

Everyone was looking at the Grand Duke with their eyes shining with expectation.

I’m pretty sure that they’re already imagining what would happen.

On how desperate Eve will cling to the Grand Duke, and how fiercely he would tear her away from him.

“Princess.”

With everyone’s anticipation, the Grand Duke came closer to me.

However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, instead of him shouting at me, he politely reached out to me.

Then he asked me with a pleasant look on his face, like a friendly fiance.

“If it’s alright with you, will you give me the honor of your first dance?”

The music, which had been flowing softly, was cut off within a strange dissonance.

Numerous gasps can be heard among the crowd.

There was also the faint sound of glass breaking from somewhere.

Even without looking around, I could feel the shock and amazement of the people around me vividly.

Either way, the Grand Duke held out his hand to me and gave me a faint smile.

It was only a faint smile, but he’s still beautiful face looked a hundred times better.

‘Wow….. He’s really handsome.’

I looked at his face full of adoration, but then I shook my head lightly and came to my senses.

Then I proudly raised the tip of my chin and placed my gloved hand elegantly on his hand.

“Of course. I will allow it.”

Then the Grand Duke led me to the center of the dance floor.

The smooth marble floor reflects under my shoes.

It’s a scene that I prepared in advance, but when I’m acting in front of a lot of people, I feel like my arms and legs are about to fall off.

Fortunately, no one came out on the dance floor while we were dancing.

The nobles who filled the ballroom continued to look at us with faces that seemed to have been struck by lightning.

The Grand Duke, who always thought of Eve as a disgusting bug, specifically asked the Princess to dance first.

‘They even look like a perfect couple as they danced together….!’

It was definitely a shocking view for all the viewers.

“Relax, Princess.”

Perhaps he felt the tension in my hands, the Grand Duke then whispered as he took one step closer to the steps.

“You look like you’re being dragged to the execution ground, not the dance floor.”

“If I step on your feet, I feel like I’m going to die.”

I meant it with all my heart, but the Grand Duke only smiled at my words.

The purple eyes that were praised for being like amethyst in the book are curved nicely.

A cold voice that didn’t match the sweet smile tickled my ear with a small laugh.

“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you.”

It’s okay to lie like that.

‘If you think I’m useless, I know that you’re going to kill me mercilessly.’

He pretends to be a perfect man within the public eye, but I know the true face of this man.

This man is a vicious man who secretly kills a lot of people and seizes power.

‘It’s because I remember the original plot of the novel’

Even his friendly smile seemed to give off a dangerous atmosphere.

It’s like the eyes of a predator smiling while playing with it’s prey.

I swallowed dry saliva as I looked at the Grand Duke beside me.

I don’t want to hold hands with this terrifying man, but for now there is nothing I can do about it.

Because this is the only way for me to live.

(Eve’s POV)

I entered this world exactly two weeks ago.

‘At first, I was so shocked that I almost passed out.’

In my previous life, I lived in Korea which is the real world.

My previous life was so hard. I lost my family at such a young age and lived through hardships.

I barely finished my studies after getting a student loan and earning my living expenses from my part-time job.   

After graduating from college, I happily returned home saying, ‘Yes, I can finally look for a decent job and live a comfortable life.’ but then I was hit by a car and died.

But it wasn’t the end.

When I opened my eyes, an unfamiliar world was unfolding in front of me.

The Albion Empire that dominates the continent.

A large palace where the Emperor lived. The splendid main palace and the princess’s bedroom.

It was the same as the contents of <Flower of Misery>,which I read several times before I died.

In other words, this was a romantic fantasy world where the cold Northern Grand Duke met a beautiful and kind saint.

Here, I became a 19-year-old princess with long red blonde hair, a person who always wore gorgeous dresses.

“Wait, who am I?”

I looked into the mirror for a long time with a blank expression on my face, after a while I asked the maid beside me.

The young maid, with sand-colored hair, answered with a terrified look on her face.

“You are the noble daughter of His Majesty the Emperor, Her Highness Princess Iveness.”

“Princess Ivenes…… Eve? Could it be that I am Eve from the novel that I’m reading before?”

In fact, even before I heard the name, there was a person who vaguely came to mind when I saw red-blonde hair.

Long red blonde hair and blue eyes.

Because it was such a boring description in the original novel that’s why I couldn’t forget it.

But I can’t help to ask that question….

“Ha? Yes, of course. You are Princess Eve.”

The maid immediately gave a confirmation to my question as if I would kill her if she didn’t, but then she carefully asked.

“Princess, don’t you remember?”

“…..”

I couldn’t answer her due to shock.

“I’m Eve…”

In the novel, Eve was a red-haired princess born from the Emperor and the Empress.

Like the Empress, she had a very beautiful appearance and was born with the power that was passed down from being pure blood of the Imperial family.

However, Eve has selfish, stupid, and violent personality enough to offset all of her advantages.

The most hated villain in the novel <Flower of Misery>.

And I became that ‘Eve’.
