Intro
Haneul Choi had never expected this to happen.
He had been a somewhat popular streamer, when he’d been recommended an otome game, of all things.
”A Beautiful Summer” was an otome game marketed as “enjoyable for all audiences.”
He’d been skeptical, but had decided to try it since it’d been recommended by a fellow streamer. To his shock, it was actually a pretty enjoyable experience. He even ended up finishing all the different endings, in his free time.
His only qualm was… well, with the plot.
The female lead and player character, Marie Rose, was a plant and light attribute count’s daughter. She was the typical kind, cheery, naive female lead.
The male lead was Cyrus Amadeus Venantius, the crown prince of the Ignatium Kingdom, was the typical male lead. Cool, distant, intelligent, but possessive and dominant when he fell in love.
Whatever. If it was just that, he didn’t care.
But the problem was—
He really, really liked the villainess.
Guest, the daughter of the Northern Duke, had lived in the Capital since the age of 6, when she’d been sent there to be engaged to Cyrus, then 8. Due to her father’s role in protecting the Northern Border, Cyrus had to tolerate her.
Except, Guest wasn’t ludicrous or stupid, like might have been expected. She was cunning, intelligent. Power driven. She likely held no real affection for Cyrus, beyond what he could give her— the title of ‘Queen.’ She was every bit the Ice Queen her attributes— wind and ice— might have indicated.
According to the plot, she tried to sabotage Cyrus and Marie’s relationship, progressively failing, until she even got to the point of “allowing” him to take her as a mistress. Of course, because she was the enemy, she was miserably killed, her father casting her out due to her crime— attempted poisoning of Marie Rose.
Haneul liked Guest. Down to her appearance, personality, everything.
So seeing her miserable ending always frustrated him.
And now… well.
Now, he’d woken up… in the body of Cyrus.
