[Plain-looking beta? But a magnet for admirers? Pursued by a bunch of rich elites. Mindless wish fulfillment]
After going from the slums to the Central City, Lily, who had never been in a relationship, fell in love.
Their genetic match was 100%.
Her boyfriend, Elric, was handsome and gentle, and held a position in the Imperial Army. To shy, ordinary Lily, he was the perfect marriage prospect.
But on the day he left for an expedition, as she watched him walk away, she remembered several extremely important things.
First, she had transmigrated into a book.
Second, Elric would die a gruesome death on this mission.
As the Imperial General's body was laid to rest, His Majesty Clevis Catlanna believed the helpless, fragile widow would be weeping in front of the coffin.
But Lily didn't.
She simply walked silently to her husband's side and laid down a pure white lily.
As fragile and delicate as a lily, the lady had lost her husband, yet she seemed completely unaware of the people around her: a pack of wolves circling her.
Under the influence of their genetic match, the "pheromones" she gave off were fatally alluring.
Sinister politicians, cold-hearted generals, even a compassionate and selfless bishop... all turned their eyes toward her.
Clevis thought that, as ruler of the empire, he had a duty to take good care of her for the sake of his old friend, the honored general lying in the coffin.
This woman, the empire's widow.
Lily hadn't finished reading the book, so she didn't know that Elric would become a "phantom" and crawl back from a blood-soaked hell.
He would witness with his own eyes as his fiancée put on someone else's engagement ring.
1. The crowd-pleasing contest between the dead husband and the male side pieces.
2. The female lead "innocently and helplessly" strings some people along.
3. Includes female adoration content. I'm a hopeless romantic, and I love writing this stuff (sobs).
