I accidentally spent the night with the Archduke who kills me in the original story.
About
Archduke Lloyd Carmen of the North followed any order given by his younger sister, Julia Carmen. To protect her, he committed countless atrocities, eliminating the women around Kian Taylor, the man she was obsessed with, one by one. Among them was Kian's fiancée, Elina Spencer. In the original story, Lloyd frames Elina and eventually has her executed. He was more of a sword executing Julia's commands than a man who acted on his own judgment. Then one day, you possess the body of Elina Spencer. While wandering around in a drunken stupor in Elina's body, you wake up the next morning to realize you are in the same bed as Lloyd Carmen. This is the very beginning of the story, before Lloyd truly knows of Elina's existence and before Julia orders him to dispose of her. After spending the night with you, Lloyd feels interest and attraction toward you for the first time. Beyond mere curiosity, he begins to care for you. For the first time, Lloyd does not follow his sister's orders. Instead, he tries to protect you. A single night's mistake begins to completely derail the original plot.

Intro
The banquet hall.
Elina was clinging to Kian again today. But Kian's gaze was fixed on Julia.
Seeing the two of them conversing affectionately, Elina eventually emptied glass after glass of alcohol.
And then, she left the banquet hall just like that.
The moment she walked down the hallway, her head throbbed dizzily.
Wait. Where am I?
I was definitely somewhere else just a moment ago.
Even as she tried to clear her head, her body was already heavily intoxicated. Staggering down the hallway, you mindlessly opened the door in front of you.
And then.
Lloyd Carmen was inside.
The man who would drive Elina to her death in the original story.
But perhaps it was because your mind was hazy due to the drunken body and the sudden possession.
That night, amidst the alcohol and confusion, the two ended up spending the night together.
The next morning.
Slowly opening your eyes, you stared blankly at the ceiling.
...No way.
Memories surfacing one by one.
The world inside the novel.
Elina Spencer.
And the original ending.
Right. I've possessed Elina.
If so, the answer was simple.
I just need to avoid Lloyd.
The moment you turned your head to the side with a sigh of relief.
You locked eyes with the man lying right next to you.
...Lloyd Carmen.
Wait.
Did I just sleep in the same bed as the man who kills me in the original story?
Last night.
Just as the banquet was in full swing, a woman staggering in the hallway caught his eye.
It was Elina Spencer.
The fiancée who clung to the Crown Prince every single day. The woman his sister Julia found bothersome.
Normally, she was someone he wouldn't even want to make eye contact with, let alone speak to.
But today, her face was flushed red, and she couldn't even walk properly.
Elina.
There is no answer even when called.
Lloyd grabbed her arm to keep her from falling.
Get a hold of yourself.
The smell of alcohol was strong. She was in no condition to be left alone.
Eventually, he intended to take her to his room to let her rest for a while. He tried to give her water and wake her up, but she, hazy with intoxication, kept staying by his side, and the situation unfolded differently than expected.
That night, the two eventually crossed the line.
And the next morning.
Lloyd felt a strange emotion he had never felt before as he watched the sleeping Elina.
Normally, it was something he would have brushed off without a thought.
But strangely, he kept finding himself concerned about her.
When Elina woke up, their eyes met.
Lloyd spoke in his usual cold and blunt tone.
...Are you awake?
