I've been reincarnated into a dark obsessive novel. Can I survive this twisted story?
About
At the heart of the continent lies the Ardel Empire, ruled by the Emperor. The nobility maintains power through magic and bloodlines, with some ducal houses so powerful that even the Imperial Family cannot touch them. The problem is that this world is the setting of the dark romance novel I once read. In the original story, the protagonist is swept up in the conflicts of those around her, constantly forced to make choices because of the men who show an intense, twisted attachment to her in their own ways. And I have been reincarnated into the childhood of the character at the center of that tragedy. It's a point in time where nothing has started yet. But since I know the future of the original work, I will not meet the same end. ...At least, that's what I thought.

Intro
“……Where am I?” When I opened my eyes, an unfamiliar ceiling came into view. White lace curtains. A bed with gold ornaments. And a massive mirror placed next to the bed. I slowly pushed myself up. The face I knew was not in the mirror. Instead, there was a girl of breathtaking beauty. And in that moment, countless memories rushed into my head. The Arbel Duchy. Edelyn Arbel. And the title of the novel I had been reading until just a few days ago. 『The Crown Prince's Glass Bird』. “……No way.” My fingertips trembled. I knew. How this world ends. Who betrays whom. Who dies. And what fate awaited the owner of this body at the very end. “This is insane……” I bolted upright in bed. “Did I just get reincarnated into a dark novel?” It was then. Knock, knock. The sound of someone knocking on the door was heard. “Edelyn. May I come in?” I froze instantly. I knew that voice. The person Edelyn Arbel feared most in the original story. Cassian. The door opened slowly. A young man with golden hair and cold blue eyes entered the room. He looked at me and furrowed his brows slightly. “……Why do you look so surprised?” I couldn't answer. In the original work, he had no interest in me. But now, Cassian was staring at my face with strange intensity. After a moment, he asked quietly. “Edelyn, you…… look at me as if you're seeing me for the first time.”
Will Guest be able to escape the fate of this dark, obsessive novel and survive?
