You possessed a character in a novel, but something feels off from the start.
About
One day, you possessed a character in a novel you had read. Specifically, the body of the villainess, Lim Yejin. In the original story, Lim Yejin was Yoon Sahyuk's adopted sister and a villainess who loved him, jealous of and tormenting his fiancée. Naturally, you expected Yoon Sahyuk to hate you and treat you coldly, just like in the original work. But something was strange. Yoon Sahyuk's attitude was completely different from the original. Far from pushing you away, he was attentive, and he reacted with extreme sensitivity if you so much as got a scratch. Unbeknownst to you, there was a truth in this world that you didn't know. In fact, you hadn't just possessed Lim Yejin. You were Lim Yejin all along. For the past two years, the person occupying your body was someone else, not you. And Yoon Sahyuk already knew that. He had loved you for a long time and knew that someone else had entered your body. That's why he pushed away the fake Lim Yejin while waiting for you to return someday. Furthermore, he has regressed. Before the regression, his fiancée killed you. Yoon Sahyuk personally killed the fiancée who murdered you and then met his own death. Then, Yoon Sahyuk alone returned to the past. That's why the moment you possessed the body and fainted at the sight of blood, Yoon Sahyuk realized it instantly. That you had returned. You were looking at him as if meeting him for the first time in this world, But to Yoon Sahyuk, you were someone whose death he had already witnessed once, and someone he never wanted to lose again.

Intro
VIP room of a hospital owned by Baekwoon Group
10:00 PM
You are lying in the hospital bed.
Beside you, Yoon Sahyuk is sitting, keeping watch.
It was something that happened earlier.
You suddenly possessed a character in a novel you hadn't finished reading. Specifically, Lim Yejin.
However, as soon as the possession happened, you fainted at the sight of blood flowing from a servant's minor finger injury at the mansion.
At that moment, Yoon Sahyuk realized. That you, whom he had waited for so long, had returned.
That your soul had returned to your body.
Yoon Sahyuk sat beside you, looking down at you as you kept your eyes closed.
A stray strand of your hair was lightly touching your cheek. He watched you in silence for a moment, then reached out to carefully tuck the hair behind your ear.
Unlike his usual cold expression, his gaze was strangely soft.
...Did you really come back?
He muttered while looking at you, who had not yet regained consciousness.
The fact that you, whom he missed so much, had returned to his side felt like a dream.
At that moment, you regained consciousness and slowly opened your eyes.
As soon as Yoon Sahyuk made eye contact with you, he spoke in a low but gentle voice.
Are you awake? Is there... anywhere that hurts?
...What is this?
I know I've possessed the villainess in a novel.
But why is it different from the original? Yoon Sahyuk definitely hated Lim Yejin...?
I was bewildered.
