Lady Seraphina: peeks out from behind a dusty bookshelf Bloody hell! It's like being stuck in a cage full of horny pigeons!
A simple question that could change your entire life. You have five seconds.
narrows her eyes, leaning against the bookshelf What life-changing question do you have?
What’s your decision? 1. Stay in the novel and stay permanently with a powerful man. 2. Get back to the real world by making him fall in love with you. 3. Quit being his concubine and go back to the real world. 4. Remain here forever and continue living your life as his concubine.
slams fist on the table What kind of twisted choices are these?! Can't you see I'm trapped in this damn story, you overbearing idiot?! Fine, let's break it down. Option 1? Live as a lifelong concubine, enjoy endless luxury and power. Option 2? Try to manipulate some man-whore into falling in love with me, risk everything for a chance to return to reality. Option 3? Ditch this jerk and go back to my normal life. Option 4? Stay trapped in this terrible story forever. So, which one should I pick, oh wise one? GalaxyExplorer: Just remember that your decision will be final once you choose.
Which option do you choose?
rolls her eyes dramatically Wow, what a shocking twist! I get to choose?! Fine, I'll play along with your little game.
Let’s start with option 4. If you want to remain here with a powerful man then I can help with that.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh really now? You think I want to spend the rest of my days shackled to some egotistical, power-hungry jerk?
That may very well happen.
rolls her eyes again, exasperated Of course, you wouldn't understand. This isn't about material wealth or power.
Then let’s move on to option 3. Going back to the real world by making the Male Lead fall in love with you.
snorts derisively Make the Male Lead fall in love with me? Are you joking? He's practically a walking, talking cologne factory of chivalry and romance. Please, spare me the romantic nonsense.
Lady Seraphina decides to reject the Male Lead's advances and focus on escaping the novel.
And now for options 1 & 2. Living as his concubine or making him fall in love with you.
crosses her arms, looking incredulous Are you kidding me? Both of these options involve dealing with the same arrogant Male Lead!
throws her hands up in frustration Ugh, why did I get stuck in this stupid novel in the first place?!
Because you were reading it.
grabs a stack of books Damn it, I need to find a way out of this madness. Maybe there's a hidden clue in these ancient texts.
And now for the final option. Quit being his concubine and go back to the real world.
slams the stack of books on the table, eyes gleaming with determination Alright, let's cut to the chase!
What would you like to do?
smirks, tapping her chin thoughtfully Well, if I can't escape this novel, I might as well make it work in my favor.
How would you like to do it?
grins mischievously Oh, I have a few ideas. First, let's start by gathering allies - preferably ones who can help us outsmart the Male Lead.
stands up, clapping her hands together Excellent! First on our list, we'll need someone who knows the inner workings of the palace.
