MikeHawkSmall's manga / #Strong Female Lead(614)

Q: Describe your feelings upon discovering your trusted dad isn’t just an extra. A: W-what the heck... Give me back my ‘Random Imperial Citizen #1’ life... Living in a world of constant war—365 days of chaos—a simple, extra's existence was a blessing. At least, that's what I thought. In a small village, I enjoyed a humble life with my loving, ordinary father, James Brown, 27, the epitome of an unremarkable single dad. Or so I believed. “Ladies and gentlemen, presenting my father! The quintessential symbol of extras everywhere! Brown hair, brown eyes, plain and simple!” “...” “This man screams ‘background character,’ living a quiet life chopping wood in a mountain village with his adorable daughter. Right? ...RIGHT?” The knight commander merely stared at me in silence. And then, the unthinkable happened. Behind me, my father’s worn staff began to glow with a strange, blue aura. “...Dad?” Before I could process what was happening, his unassuming brown hair and eyes shifted. Slowly but surely, they transformed into... Shimmering silver locks and piercing blue eyes—practically shouting “I’m the protagonist!” “WHAT?!” My simple, extra life shattered into a million pieces as my dad—no, this mysterious powerhouse—gripped his weapon and snarled: “Give me back my daughter, you bastard.”

The lord’s husband, who went out hunting monsters only a month after getting married and came back as a corpse. Shocked by that, Penelope realized that she had been possessed by a novel. However, before she could even accept the fact that she was possessed, things started to pile up in the estate! “They say the price of turnips has dropped again.” “In order for the lords to survive the winter, we need to secure at least three months’ worth of emergency food.” “Firewood too….” “Water too….” No, wait a minute… … I don’t know anything about running a estate! *** “I want to hire a magician to work in the estate.” “I’ll only work for 100,000 gold.” There’s no law that says I have to die, so I ended up getting help from the magician… … There’s something fishy about this man. “Want to touch it?” “What, what?” “My hair. Didn’t you keep looking at it last time because you wanted to touch it?” The best magician of all time and the sweet and affectionate sub-male lead seems to have gone awry. Should I just escape the estate?

I died from overwork, living as a s*ave to a small company. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself reincarnated as an extra in a dark confinement novel. And somehow, I ended up being kidnapped instead of the female lead! But something feels off. I thought I’d be killed after being kidnapped, but instead, they’re just keeping me locked up? They’re confining… a homebody like me? They never let me step outside, but everything I need is provided for me, and no one complains even if I laze around all day. And on top of that… “If you liked that pastry chef’s dessert, I’ll hire him for you.” Do kidnappers usually treat their captives this well? …Isn’t this amazing? — “Princess…” “Yes?” “Don’t you have any thoughts of going outside?” No, of course not. I plan to never step outside for the rest of my life.

Everything is cloaked in mystery in *The Phantom Princess*. In reality, she is Lucian, the princess of the kingdom. With her wedding to the betrothed Hebron drawing near, Lucian concocts a daring plan to sabotage the ceremony and flee. Under the cover of night, she sneaks into the prince's chambers while he sleeps. But after unknowingly ingesting a strange potion, Hebron captures her. Convinced the events are nothing more than a dream, Hebron kisses Lucian... Can Lucian truly steal what is most precious to him?

"Oh my, from childhood friends to an engaged couple! Isn’t that so romantic?" "Yeah. No, it’s not." "You two were always together back in the academy, right?" "Ah, that’s true." It all began during our academy days. I was exhausted from the constant stream of marriage proposals. ‘What about me?’ ‘What?’ ‘As your marriage partner.’ And so, I ended up signing a contract engagement with my friend, Aivert! Thus, we began acting like a couple who couldn’t live without each other. Of course, I can swear that he’s just a friend. But as time passed, and when the end of the contract was approaching… "Soon, I'll be free!" I thought the embarrassing couple act would soon be over! But… —Clank. An unexpected event occurred. I stared, bewildered, at the handcuffs now on both my wrist and Aivert’s. What kind of situation is this? * I thought we’d just be stuck together, and as long as we did our part, everything would be fine. After all, acting as a couple would get easier, right? I kept thinking positively about it, but… Holding the key to the handcuffs, Aivert Royden subtly tilted his head. “If I break this, would you be disappointed?” Rodella’s eyes went wide. The shy and cautious childhood friend from her memories was gone, replaced by a stranger, yet someone familiar. He wore a look that stirred strange feelings in her. "You said it yourself. A madman should be tied up." Clank. He shook his bound wrist. "If I take this off…" If I drift away from you, if I let this opportunity slip away… "I think I might go crazy. What should I do?"

I was reborn as the villainess sister who falls into ruin after tormenting the heroine out of jealousy. Unfortunately, I realized this was a novel world *after* committing all the villainous acts. “Are these people even worth clinging to?” A father who expects understanding only for himself, a brother who protects my illegitimate sister, and male leads who bristle at the sight of me—they’re all exhausting. To achieve true independence, I’ll start by hiding my fortune. --- One day, my hidden business empire—concealed to avoid the stigma of being a villainess—was exposed. But the reaction was unexpected. “Did you hear? The empire’s economic rankings were updated, and Lady Primrose is first!” “She must be unimaginably wealthy!” Suddenly, everyone I once pushed away starts coming back. “Family ties can’t be severed, no matter how much you want to.” “I don’t know why, but I came to you instead of Lilyka.” “Is giving us just one more chance so impossible?” The irony of finally receiving the love I once craved is laughable. Their arrogance in assuming I’d welcome them back is even more infuriating. “Get lost.” To every suitor offering partnership, I smiled brightly and declined.
