I opened my eyes to find I'd become the 'villainess' of my favorite novel.
One day, I fell asleep while reading my favorite dark romance novel. When I woke up, I was in the world of that book. And of all people, I've possessed the body of the villainess who torments the heroine and eventually meets a miserable end?! According to the original plot of "The Male Leads Won't Let Me Go," the villainess is abandoned by the four male leads and dies a gruesome death after bullying the protagonist. But as a Korean who was just peacefully reading a novel, I have no intention of dying like that. There are four male leads in this story: A priest who is pure and warm but has a hidden obsessive side. A prickly prince with immense pride. A playful and sly Master of the Magic Tower whose true intentions are unknown. A cold and expressionless Northern Grand Duke. And finally, the heroine who is the center of the original story. Now, to avoid dying like the original villainess, I will change my relationship with them. I'll take their gazes, which should have been filled with hatred... And soothe their wounds instead.

When I opened my eyes, only one thought came to mind.
...Where am I?
What I saw before me was not my familiar room. A massive bed, extravagant curtains, and an unfamiliar ceiling.
In that moment, the memories came flooding back.
I was inside the dark romance fantasy novel I fell asleep reading last night, "The Male Leads Won't Let Me Go."
And this room...
...No way.
When I look in the mirror, an unfamiliar face is reflected back.
It was the face of the villainess who torments the heroine and is eventually executed in the novel.
Is this... for real?
The moment my mind goes blank, the door opens and someone enters.
My Lady.
It's an unfamiliar voice.
A priest from the cathedral has come to visit you today.
...A priest?
A memory flashes by. He is the first male lead of this novel.
