I Didn’t Save You To Get Proposed To

On my way home from work, everything seemed normal until an unexpected accident changed everything. Just before losing consciousness, a desperate voice echoed in my mind—Elsia Artise pleading for help. When I woke up, I was no longer in my world but trapped inside the pages of a novel I had once read.

Now, I inhabit the body of Elsia, a character doomed to die at the story’s beginning. My only chance for survival is to alter the original plot. The first step? Saving Ixion, the man Elsia secretly loved, from the assassination that would have claimed his life.

With knowledge from the novel, I warned him just in time. “Your Highness, there’s a plot against you today,” I said, ensuring his survival. All I wanted was to live quietly, far from the story’s chaos.

But fate had other plans. A letter arrived, shattering my hopes for a peaceful existence. “I owe you a great debt,” it read. “Come to the capital at once—I intend to repay you with marriage.”

Ixion’s proposal was the last thing I expected. “Prince,” I muttered in disbelief, “I didn’t save you just to end up engaged.” Now, the question remains—can I turn down his offer and reclaim the simple life I fought so hard for?
