Peeking outside to check, I almost screamed. The man I thought had left long ago was still there, looking up at me. As our eyes met, he stretched his lips into a smile.

Quickly sitting down to hide, I heard a brief laugh.

‘My heart nearly stopped. What’s with that man?’

Was he watching in case I tried to escape again? No one else was there to see him just pretend to work!

“Damn. Unnecessarily loyal.”

I sighed heavily and sprawled out on the bed. Since our eyes met, he would likely stay put for a while. I decided to wait and try escaping again at dawn.

But instead of escaping, I found myself sitting obediently in a carriage heading to the royal city. I had tried to escape several times, but each time, I ended up meeting the man’s eyes.

‘He even took up a spot near my window.’

I was terrified to see the man lounging on a tree branch, watching me. His teasing face asking, “Aren’t you going to sleep?” was so annoying.

‘Why is he so persistently bothering me?’

Eventually, I spent the night awake and had to get into the carriage under my family’s farewell.

Upon arriving in the capital, I turned to look for the man who had tormented me all night, while the Countess was instructing me to ask Floria for living expenses. However, I couldn’t find him among the servants.

‘He must be catching up on sleep somewhere after staying awake all night.’

Thinking back, it was rude for him to stand outside a lady’s bedroom window, no matter the reason for surveillance. I resolved to confront him about his unreasonable behavior when we met.

But throughout the journey to the capital, I never saw the man again.

The capital of the Hilik Kingdom, Lehose, was a planned city where classical beauty and modern architectural styles blended harmoniously. Famous for its beauty, attracting tourists from abroad, nothing about the splendid streets caught my eye now.

‘So this is the tiger’s den I have to enter.’
I watched with a heavy heart as the bridge connecting the royal city and the castle over the moat was lowered. Despite wishing the whole way to arrive as late as possible, the carriage was mercilessly fast.

I hadn’t refrained from trying to escape. But the servants were annoyingly sharp and as unnecessarily loyal as that man, leaving no opportunity for escape. That’s how I ended up walking down the corridor of the Second Prince’s palace, where Cinderella was staying.

I pondered endlessly about why she had summoned me to the castle, contrary to the original story, but no answer emerged. From the point the story diverged from the original, there was nothing I could predict. All I could hope for was that it wouldn’t be the worst-case scenario.

‘Damn it.’

Standing in front of the parlor where Cinderella awaited, I suddenly thought of that man. It was almost because of him that I was here, standing like this. His annoying face, grinning as he lay on the tree branch and I peeked out, came to mind, and I involuntarily clenched my fist.

‘Just wait till I see you again.’

If I die because of Cinderella, I’ll haunt him as a ghost and curse him!

I had been grinding my teeth at the man all the way to the capital, but now I took a deep breath to calm myself. My immediate concern was how to deal with Floria inside.

‘Surely I won’t be attacked by pigeons as soon as the door opens?’

Though I thought it unlikely since I was called here, I couldn’t shake off the uneasy feeling.

‘Should I just prostrate as soon as I enter? At least my eyes won’t be pecked out.’

Numerous scenarios of encountering Floria flashed rapidly through my mind in the short time.

Not one of them was positive, which made me feel even more uneasy. The servant, unaware of my turmoil, opened the door without hesitation as soon as permission was granted.

Cinderella, standing amidst the sunlight pouring in from a large window, slowly turned towards me.

When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did

“How dare you!”

“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?

“I will never accept that.”

“I will never let you return to him.”

“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”

“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”

“I will never let you escape me!”

This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!

At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.

Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.

The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.

Synopsis:
