Kronenträger: My Life as a Deputy Duchess to Save the Protagonist
What should you do when one minute, you’re a broke-almost-unemployed financial consultant making a quick buck in your uncle's confectionery shop, and the next you’re a rich but sickly princess destined to perish in a fantasy otome game?
“I refuse to die even before I meet my favourite protagonist! Mark my words, the last laugh will be mine!"
An ordinary young woman was once living a broken life of a freshly graduated accountancy student begging to pass her licensure exams. When she wasn't working and helping in the store, she had one guilty pleasure; obsessively playing the otome game, “PERSONA: The Mysteries of Love”—a fantasy-based game with a sprinkle of mystery and thriller.
She played it everyday, not missing a single route there is and even tossing a penny or two to get the events done religiously. That was until the developers announced the unbelievable discontinuation of the game. The shock was enough to lead to her demise...after being hit by a stupid lightning strike while reading the terrible news in the middle of crossing the streets at night.
And thus, her new life began...as Licht Tyrese Elsworth?! The rich but sickly princess who was also known as the PERSONA's protagonist's dead boss? She wasn't even destined to be alive even before the start of the game! Scratch that, the only reason the game ever started is because of her own death!
The newly reborn Licht is sure her life has ended before it even began. But, no! She refused to succumb to her inevitable fate, and so, Licht used her knowledge of the game to become a great duchess—well, deputy duchess while her 'brother' was absent—so that she could stop whoever tried to kill Licht in the game by gaining a lot of influence and power over the empire!
On the other hand, some random but handsome florist named Albedo just won't leave her alone, insisting what he believed to be an undeniable fact. "I'll tell you the truth: this world, the skies above, you and me and everything around us is but a piece of fiction."
Now, who is he and why can't Licht remember his character from the otome game?!
