My life ended abruptly, only to restart as the infamous villainess in a romance novel—a character obsessed with the male lead, stalking him relentlessly before meeting a grim fate for attempting to murder the heroine. Determined to escape this doomed path, I fled the capital, seeking solace in the countryside. But my peaceful retreat was short-lived when my father summoned me back, revealing shocking news: the crown prince, presumed dead for seven years, was actually alive. Worse yet, he was the nephew of the very man I was trying to avoid—the male lead, who was now searching for him.
I had no intention of getting tangled in this mess, but fate had other plans. On my journey back, I stumbled upon a ragged child begging in the streets and, against my better judgment, took him in. To my horror, he turned out to be the missing prince, clinging to me with unwavering devotion. In the original story, the heroine was meant to find him, paving the way for her encounter with the male lead. Now, with the plot unraveling, my carefully laid plans for a quiet life are crumbling.
Reborn as Charlize Lienta, the deranged stalker of Archduke Calix Elluiden, I had hoped to vanish from his world forever. Yet here I am, entangled in his affairs once more, holding the key to his lost nephew’s return. With my notorious reputation, will I be able to hand over the boy without awakening the archduke’s suspicions? Or will my past sins doom me all over again?
