Tears began to stream down Ye-an's cheeks like rain.
"Damn it. I knew this would happen...!"
The novel she had been eagerly awaiting for six months, counting down the days until the next upload, had finally come to an end.
And it ended in the way she least wanted.
Of course, in a genre novel, it's only natural for the ending to be a happy one for the protagonist!
Ye-an clenched her fists, trembling, as she resisted the urge to throw her phone.
'Goddamn it!'
36-month installment plan.
With 24 months of servitude still left, she had to endure.
"If I were born with a silver spoon, I could have lobbied the author to save my favorite character. Sob, sob..."
The protagonist of this novel is a saint.
It's a story about a commoner girl who suddenly awakens as a saint and turns her life around. The plot is simple.
As the title suggests, it's about being loved.
The saint didn't achieve anything on her own; she just accepted everything the male leads offered her.
And it ended with her being with the emperor.
It was truly a life of pure bliss.
But...
"My favorite character isn't the female lead!"
That's right!
Since the saint is the protagonist, she would naturally end up with the emperor!
"But why does my favorite character have to die, Author?!"
Of course, my favorite character had a death flag planted.
She tried to kill the saint, who was by the emperor's side, because she found her annoying, and in the end, she even rebelled, threatening to kill the saint if she couldn't have the emperor.
I know it was inevitable for her to meet a tragic end, but...
Ye-an bit her lip.
"Sob, sob, save my favorite character..."
The arrogant and haughty Liz.
Liz, who used water magic to seductively take out those who defied her.
Liz was different from the female lead, who got everything easily due to her innate luck.
She was desperate and fierce in everything she did.
Liz's determination to fight for what she wanted made her pitiful and endearing, and I couldn't help but fall for her.
"Even at the end, you stayed true to yourself, but Liz, why do you have to die like this..."
...Who said love is beautiful?
Love is desire.
Endlessly exploiting and subjugating to possess.
That's what she learned and lived by.
Liz looked out the window at the emperor's army and drank the poison without hesitation.
Even though her life didn't start as she wished, she wanted to end it on her own terms.
A lump rose in her throat.
But as always, she straightened her back gracefully.
"Though I couldn't have you, I have no regrets because I did my best."
Feeling her strength drain from her body, she smiled faintly.
However, if I had known how to love like you, would the ending have been different?
With this meaningless hypothesis, her consciousness sank into endless darkness...
I'll throw away the emperor who doesn't love me and find a well-behaved, obedient man to live happily ever after!
No, I can't.
I have to ask the author to write a sequel with Liz as the protagonist.
Our Liz.
She said she had no regrets, but she's clearly regretting.
Ye-an opened the Twitter app to send a message to the author.
But at that moment.
Screech!
The sound of asphalt being scraped, and her vision flipped.
Eh?
Why can't I see the sky...
Her head fell limply, and she saw blood flowing like a snake.
A fallen motorcycle came into her blurred vision.
Did my dedication move even the heavens?
But I didn't think they would send me to my favorite character's side like this...
With that thought, she lost consciousness.
I thought I was going to die...
Where am I?
