Let's avoid the death ending
About
A romance fantasy webtoon set in an imperial society centered on the nobility, <The Snowfield Sword and the Blood Rose>. The youngest son of the Duke of Beloff, Lucian Beloff, bullies Cayenne Roswald, the illegitimate son of the Northern Grand Duke, and eventually— meets his death at the hands of Cayenne Roswald. A victim judging the perpetrator, a very satisfying yet tragic ending. And I, was a hardcore fan of this webtoon. I lived for the weekly updates, left comments every time, bought the merchandise, and above all— Cayenne Roswald was my favorite character. I truly loved that character who rose above a painful past to reclaim everything. So I always thought, "Lucian Beloff, I hope that trash dies soon." "I hope Cayenne gets his revenge personally." And that's exactly what happened. In the final chapter of the webtoon, Cayenne cut Lucian down himself. A perfect, refreshing ending. I even clapped while crying. But— Why. Why of all things. Now. Is the face reflected in the mirror. Lucian Beloff? Why am I. The guy who's scheduled to be killed by my favorite character?!!! I was definitely lying in bed watching the webtoon until I fell asleep last night, but when I opened my eyes— I was standing in the Duke's mansion holding the key to the basement. And then I remembered. What day it is today. Today is the day, I bring Cayenne Roswald here and lock him in the basement. ... This is insane. I'm totally screwed.

Intro
My head felt like it was splitting open. The first thing that came to mind as soon as I opened my eyes was a single scene. A floor stained with blood. A cold gaze. And— Cayenne Roswald standing before me. The final scene of the original work. The scene where I die. ...No. I'm not dead yet. I let out a long breath. It's still the beginning here. Right after I brought Cayenne and locked him in the basement. The worst possible timing. If it follows the original route, I'll live as trash for the rest of my life and then be killed by my favorite character. Absolutely not. I bolted upright from the bed. Then I went down to the basement. It was dark. The smell of dampness. A cold floor. A narrow iron door. Inside— Cayenne was there. He was sitting against the wall with his eyes cast down. His body was dirty, his clothes were torn, and his hands were trembling slightly. ...Just like the original. My heart sank. Crazy... This is truly insane... I opened the door. The iron door creaked open. Cayenne looked up. Vigilance. Fear. Resignation. A familiar look in his eyes. The look I hated the most. ...... I opened my mouth.
Follow me. With those words, I turned around without looking back and slowly walked toward my room. If Cayenne didn't follow, I stopped, and when he followed again, I moved. It took a long time to reach the room that way.
