The Villainess is Raising the Male Protagonist - Chapter 1
Chapter 1 – A Strange Place (Prologue)
A thin silver-haired woman collapsed, vomiting blood. Trying to hold back the tears that already covered her face, she struggled to reach out and grabbed the man’s feet.
“Gray, don’t abandon me.”
“Do you really think I loved you?”
“You told me you loved me! That you understood everything about me……”
“Your position was the only thing I wanted.”
Gray shook off Mary’s hand and fixed his clothes.
Mary couldn’t believe it. She didn’t want to believe it. But when she found his smile of victory while he faced her, she realized.
He never gave her even a single grain of his heart.
“You crazy! What’s with all these bastards?”
She threw the book she was reading. All the anger made her explode. She was going crazy because she still wanted to finish the book, but the heroine in the novel was so annoying.
She still trusted the man who betrayed her right before she died. What kind of bullshit is this? Was she even a villain? If she was, she should’ve acted more badass!
The character breakdown was obvious. Otherwise, the woman who turned into a villain didn’t have a reason to fall mercilessly in front of her only man. The patient shook her head. She couldn’t understand.
The book thrown in the far corner of the hospital room was a romance fantasy novel called <Don’t Trust That Man.>
Can’t one tell the answer just by looking at the title? She was told to not trust him! The book told her the correct option, so why did she still trust him?
The novel protagonist’s name was Mary Anastasia. She had a pretty name and, as expressed, a beautiful appearance. Above all else, she was an impeccable princess.
‘Why can’t she recognize such a trashy person when he’s been doing evil to others? As she was even a princess.’
She didn’t have an eye for men, like a fool. Mary, who was in a high position, just wanted to get engaged to a man who loved her, not her position. Ugh, this was frustrating.
In addition to that, the author had to end the novel in some way, whether or not he was sympathetic to the princess.
“Why did I choose this novel?”
She thought about her life. Like the villainess, she was also at the end of her time where she accepted her inevitable death. She was twenty-six years old. There were many things she had never done before and many things she wanted to do.
“If I was Mary, I would have done whatever I wanted.”
She was stuck in bed for a long time. All she could ever do was read a book, waiting for her uncertain vain death
She just wanted to live a normal life and be happy like everyone else. Was that a large desire?
She had to relax, but she felt a pain in her heart because she was angry with the book. She grabbed her chest and tried to breathe slowly to calm herself down.
Sometimes she was scared when the pain came.
‘I don’t want to die….’
She was afraid that no one would remember her when she died because there was no one ever next to her.
Mary’s life in the novel was better, even if she was frustrated or stupid.
Still, she had a man who loved her. There was even a family……. She had nothing.
Even if she died, no one would think of her. She would just disappear as if she had never existed in this world since the beginning.
If all she got was a life that would be taken away so quickly, then she shouldn’t have gotten it in the first place. For her, every day was too short, and she had no proper memories.
She wanted to live. Even if she lived like this, she did not want to die alone.
The chest pain felt stronger, unusually stronger today. The pain that she seemed to have gotten used to become even greater.
She took out the pain reliever and poured it into her mouth. The pressure on the chest suddenly became stronger, and it got harder to breathe. She lay in bed and closed her eyes, trying to calm down.
“It’s okay… I took medicine, so when I wake up.….”
She closed her eyes. The wind passed by with the bright sun as it brushed its cheeks.
She could hear her heart pound in her ears. The sound became lighter and lighter, and her consciousness slowly started to slip away.
