    The female lead transmigrates into a Korean drama as a short-lived extra, and immediately falls for a handsome man who comes knocking on her door 🤦. 💥The female lead is incredibly clear-headed and intelligent! Someone wants her dead because of the male lead? Compared to her life, a handsome man is nothing! She runs away on the spot. Running away while pregnant is just an accident; the unfortunate male lead goes crazy chasing after her. 🌹🌹🌹The plot is fast-paced and doesn't drag at all!!! 😊The following are basically my list of amazing books! I've recommended them too!
