I'm the Soldier's Ex-Girlfriend

I was once the soldier’s former lover, dreaming of a peaceful existence until fate threw me into the role of Maize—the stereotypical heroine of a poorly written romance novel. To my surprise, the protagonist’s life was far from simple. Everywhere she turned, women relentlessly pursued her love interest, the story’s dashing male lead. Instead of enjoying a fairytale romance, Maize found herself trapped in an exhausting cycle of peril and rescue missions, always relying on her boyfriend to save the day. The constant drama drained her, proving that being the main character wasn’t as glamorous as the books made it seem. She longed for a break from the chaos, but the plot demanded endless trials. The so-called “perfect love story” felt more like a tiresome chore than a dream come true. Maize questioned whether she truly wanted this role or if she’d been better off in her previous, quieter life. The pressure of expectations weighed heavily on her, making her wonder if happiness was even possible in such a twisted narrative.
