Summary
In the original novel, she was the villainess, but she avoided all the death flags properly by faking her own death.
She saved even the poor child who was destined to die, sacrificed herself to ensure the protagonists’ lives would be smoothâĻ
And thus, she hid and waited for her own happy ending.
Finally feeling happy for a moment at the news of the original protagonists’ marriage, she returned after hearing about her mother’s passing…
âĻBut why is everything all messed up?
No, more importantly, why was she in confinement?!
The original male lead, who was her childhood friend and fiancÊ, spoke.
“If I had known you’d fall for such a simple trick like a death notice, I would have done it sooner.”
The male lead, who she thought had married someone else, laughed at her with utterly crazed eyes.
Why was he like this now? He wasn’t like this before.
“Youâve got nowhere to run now.”
What’s going on here!

I hope we get more backstory and world-building later on but for now Iâm happy to just jump into things đĨ°
Anotherdumbbish
I wonder if he even got marriedâĻ đ
Given, Iâm not sure how youâd fake a marriage on that large of a scale, but I wouldnât put it past him since he faked her momâs death đ
YourUsualStalker
This seems interesting! I’d like to see her reaction when her plans go awry đ
YourUsualStalker

Skunkette
She is so dense, Lucian totally sold her out!đ¤Ŗ Shane’s going to make her suffer now, not too much I hope đ¤ Thanks for the chapter

I know right, How cruel! They should have told her.

They'd probably just turn a blind eye to it because it's an effective method to keep Adeline trapped. The mom has been crying once a day to keep guilt tripping her into staying, there's almost nothing they won't do to make her stay. Adeline is surrounded by psychopaths.
Dark Queen
She's indeed surrounded by psychopaths. And you know, what bothers me the most. Her family wasn't close when before she ran away and now they are acting like some manipulative toxic ex.
nckojita
adeline is CLEARLY an unreliable narrator esp bc she states she barely remembers the years before she faked her death & was wrong about everything she thought would happen that motivated her to do that. sis is straight up delusional idk why the hell you would trust her pov when she started planning to fake her death from the age of nine over some dreams we r clearly supposed to think thatâs a batshit crazy thing to do lol

Would also like to add that, while what she did is terrible from other's perspectives… She's someone with long term nightmare induced sleep of death, which is also part future vision powers, which also seems intended to terrify her with said 'visions' whenever she tries to tell anyone about it.
When something is half true and half false, do you dare gamble with life and death?
'Some dreams', did you read like properly-she predicted Lucian being the underworld king, Loyld's location by picking him up and sheltering him, and then, proven the saintess's awakening by death as mentioned by all these dreams. Then there's her dreams providing her visions of things she didn't even know in her past life. These are all facts provided through dreams and past life.
Unreliable narrator is true, but MC's suffering is pretty much an objective fact at this point. It doesnt make what she did 'less bad', but she isn't delusional the way you're saying she is. Dark circles under her eyes and looking better then she did before, clearly those constant nightmares about death tortured her mentality to the point that everything felt more a blur to her. Lack of sleep is terrible.
The sole consoling thought is that at least she had 5 years of proper sleep… If her nightmares start again, she can't even tell her closest for fear of the dreams coming true. If you need a more concrete reason for 'come on the dreams are b******t', the most unrealistic thing has already happened-she has half her future knowledge from a past life about the world she was in, in the form of a novel. How she adjusted to that reality breaking news is also a factor.

Also sleep deprivation is a torture and brainwashing tactic in real life. People
can be more susceptible to brainwashing if they are not allowed to sleep. Itâs a tactic that cults use, and is also a torture tactic to make ppl compliant.

Exactly she has so much reason to justify her actions, and this is her own life, she must be allowed to do whatever she wants with her life. She aimed for survival. Her life was on the line. Actually the people around her are acting like she's a desirable abject and not a person e.x. her family know the reason she escaped was Shane yet they are handing her over to him. Sorry? It doesn't matter to you how much of a crazy person he is and the fact that your daughter hates him? Shouldn't you protect her? Ain't her your family? Why are you dismissing her feelings? And why are you only thinking of not letting her go instead of asking and finding out what's the root of the problem?
nckojita
i mean.. she literally faked her death and started distancing herself from everyone from the age of nine in order to do so for no actual reason, if anything ADELINE is the psychopath here. they r behaving normally in response to a full on crazy person lol just cos sheâs the FL doesnt mean sheâs justified in her actions. what she did was straight up evil esp bc SHE WAS CLEARLY WRONG! nothing she thought would happen that she used to motivate what she did actually happened
plus the only reason shane is like that is bc, again, she FAKED HER DEATH IN HIS ARMS LIKE A NUTCASE iâm just shocked no oneâs given her a reality check yet that this is p much entirely her fault and she needs to fix it
Dark Queen
Indeed
nckojita
honestly as they should she kind of deserves it, i hope they all make her suffer for a while lol
nckojita
idek if i can call them unhinged bc i rly do think she deserves all this đ theyâre basically just making her fix the problems she caused lol
Lucy
But the mum crying at least once a day on purpose to trigger her guilt is kinda crazy bahhaa
nckojita
sure but tbh she kind of deserved it i would do worse đ sheâs lucky her mom didnt fistfight her or smth lmao my mother has never raised a hand to me in my life but best believe if i faked my death for such a stupid reason she would beat my a*s so bad iâd wish that death real đŠ
Lucy
HAHAHA Relatable
Wangfie
Filling up on those red flags. đ¤¤
Dark Queen
How endearing.
Yumi
Itâs nice to see a story with the aftermath of that scenario, this Iâm still curious, did he marry or not? Heâs not even replying properly for us to know
I love lollipop
I haven't continued the story cause I wanted more chapters to get updated but I'm still curious about this
minki
We are holding out breaths, half scared, half excited to read what comes next.
Saitama
This is weirdđ¤. My are there spelling mistake in my comment?
Villainess No.121
Cause she's not a smart kid and 'should rely on herself till the end' kinda cliche.
ksjdhgfdhjwk
saying she deserves it is too harsh becux u also have to understand from her point of view too, the point the story was trying to make that she considers these ppl as characters and that she thinks the ml wants to marry her out of spite from being deceived. i keep seeing you in the comments bashing the fl while justifying others as if they are angels who could harm no good, the double standards are crazy
heru.rin
Agreed! She's plague with nightmares of her future deaths and she barely have sleep. Its like she's receiving divine death treats that she's not allowed to tell anyone. She's mentally beat up and I can't blame her for prioritizing herself especially seeing now that her connection with everyone she left behind is superficial. Her connection with her fiancee is limited in childhood, she's distance with her family, her friends are fake, the saintess is unreliable. The only one she connect with is Lloyd and she took her sooo… I don't think she deserve this for choosing her own survival too
nckojita
hot take but transmigration protagonists considering the people around them as just 2D characters is objectively a bad thing and makes them a kinda shitty person. normal ppl don't consider those theyâve spend decades growing up with as npcs with no free will or emotions, even if youâve entered this bizarre situation not eventually realizing they are also people and having empathy for them is crazy. what the fl did was, objectively, an incredibly cruel thing to do to the people who care about her no matter what kind of nightmares she was having. the author wrote her like sheâs a straight up psychopath and also completely brainless with no common sense tbh bc a person w the ability to think even a little bit would at least be like wow it seems like i was wrong letâs course correct after being brought back and seeing the plot has totally unravelled. itâs incredibly baffling and honestly just poor writing to draw out useless drama
itâs not a âdouble standardâ to expect that the lead who isnt supposed to be the unhinged yandere of an unhinged yandere romance novel have motivations that dont make them look like they have a personality disorder and dont give af about anyone around them. thats called having basic criticism and expecting the author to deliver what they promised lol
Wangfie
Same!
Chunelle C. Espanol
Same… I'll give him what I think is the world…
Chunelle C. Espanol
Yeah… Lack of sleep is a b*tch…
ken
Cause the world will kill her, she's tried before and her dreams show her being killed each time she tries to tell them
YÃĻrin
Lucian rlly said f*ck this > v â
Sekstifire
Yeah she's really reveling in thinking she knows everything huh.
Sekstifire
Also does she really want them to tell her family that she let them think she was dead for five years…
renrenigot
Lol
renrenigot
They're in it for the show maybe. At this point they're all accomplices đ
