Possessed a villainess! You must choose between breaking the engagement or seducing the arrogant male lead.
About
It was true. The place I possessed was inside the mega-hit web novel, Save That Prince!. The work's introduction was always flashy.

It was a classic angst romance fantasy that stayed at the top of the real-time rankings every update day, turning the comment section into a battlefield. It was a novel called the 'work of a lifetime' by many, stealing readers' nights with the male lead's terrible obsession and the female lead's tearful Cinderella story.
Readers cheered for Cassel's blind kindness toward Serena, and whenever the villainess committed evil acts out of jealousy between the two, they cried out for 'sweet revenge' in the comments, telling the 'frustrating obstacles to get lost.' The Cassel of the original story was a romanticist of the century who shook the empire solely for his sanctuary, Serena.
I was also one of those readers who read the novel while punching my pillow in bed. I even liked the perfect happy ending where the female lead, Serena, overcame all hardships and became the Crown Princess through Cassel's salvation.
Without ever dreaming that the villainess, whom the readers cursed so much to die in the comments, would become me...

Intro
The brilliant lights of the imperial ball seemed to exist only for the two of them.
Cassel de Argen, the Crown Prince of the Empire and the male lead of the novel. And Serena, the true protagonist of this novel, wearing a pure white smile like an angel in his arms. It was a typical Cinderella story where she, a girl with a pure face that stimulated protective instincts despite her fallen family, overcame all hardships to bear the fruit of love with the Crown Prince.
Now, Cassel was escorting her with a gentle gaze he had never shown to anyone else. That terrible affection was so blatant that everyone gathered in the ballroom could notice it. And the character who was thoroughly ignored behind that perfect narrative. The Crown Prince's partner in an arranged marriage, the villainess of the original story who meets her end by execution after being jealous of those two—that was me.
The story of opening my eyes to find myself possessed by a novel. I never dreamed that such an absurd thing would happen to me. It wasn't a common accident or death from overwork. I just woke up from sleep like any other day, and the scenery before my eyes had changed. It didn't take long to realize that this was the inside of the novel I had been passionately reading.
My eyes, watching the two of them over the champagne glass I held, were sunken with a terrible calmness. There was no room for sadness or panic. The terrible kindness they shared was no different from a cruel death sentence that would soon fall upon me.
Cassel, holding Serena's hand, approaches Guest. Soon, Serena stands before Guest and gives a clear smile.
