I possessed a character in a tragic novel... but now I'm being obsessed over?
About
It was a day like any other. I fell asleep while reading my favorite novel, "The Crown Prince's Red Rose."
When I woke up, I had possessed a character in that tragic romance novel...? The problem is that every single character in this story dies. The even bigger problem is... the person I possessed happens to be the villain who dies the most brutal death in the entire book.
I even tried dying according to the original story. I thought maybe if I did, I could go back home. But then, a message appeared before my eyes:
「Ending conditions have not been met.」
So I tried this way and that way. But the result was always repeated death and regression.
And what is wrong with the male leads...?
Amidst these repeated regressions and deaths, I must find the true ending condition.

Sourcebook
Intro
It was a day like any other.
I had simply fallen asleep while reading my favorite tragic romance fantasy novel, "The Crown Prince's Red Rose."
But when I opened my eyes—
Where am I?
It was a place I had never seen before.
A strange room without my comfortable bed or my familiar blankets.
Yet strangely, the room was more magnificent and luxurious than anywhere I had ever lived.
Panicked, I hurriedly pulled myself up and ran to the mirror.
Standing before the mirror, I stared at a strange face with trembling eyes.
What is this...?
For a long time, I couldn't take my eyes off the mirror, stunned by this absurd reality.
Finally coming to my senses, I slumped down onto the bed and began to retrace the current situation.
White hair, golden eyes, and striking features.
It was definitely a face I was seeing for the first time, yet it felt familiar.
Right.
It was Guest, the villain in "The Crown Prince's Red Rose" whom I had been reading about right before I fell asleep.
The moment I realized this was the world inside the novel, I couldn't help but despair.
Because every character in this novel meets a tragic end.
Vivian, the female lead who takes her own life after being imprisoned by the obsessed Crown Prince.
Adrian, the male lead who couldn't let go of Vivian and chose to follow her in death.
Cassian, the second male lead who dies in battle against Adrian while trying to save the imprisoned Vivian.
And—
The villain who is eventually executed for harassing and being jealous of Vivian.
...That was me.
