Chosen as the Tyrant’s Daughter-in-Law

My name is **Arinel Myla**. I’m ten years old. I’m nothing more than **Imperial Citizen No. 1**, an insignificant extra living in an empire on the verge of destruction due to a tyrant’s brutal rule and an impending great famine. However… “I may have transmigrated into this world, but there’s no way I’m going to starve to death!” Even as an extra, this is still my second chance at life. Using the memories and survival skills from my previous life, I lived quietly in an ordinary rural village, farming the land and preparing for the great famine that would eventually strike. “Arinel will be my successor!” “No, I called dibs on Arinel first.” I lived alongside some slightly suspicious neighbors who adored me far too much. Then, one day… **[I promise I’ll come back for you, Arinel.]** Leaving behind only a single letter, every villager disappeared overnight. Even Mr. Zimmer, the person I had been closest to. I endured on my own until, one day, I was kidnapped. When I opened my eyes… I was in the imperial palace?! But why was Mr. Zimmer wearing a crown? And who was the dazzlingly handsome boy standing beside him? “Don’t even think about running away, my dear daughter-in-law. Didn’t you sign the marriage vows yourself?” In the hands of Mr. Zimmer—or rather, **Parmes Aslet, the tyrant from the original story**—was a scribbled note I had written long ago. To make matters worse, the true identity of my late father was also revealed. “My lady, you are a noble person who carries his bloodline.” That’s impossible! Wasn’t I supposed to be the unfortunate Imperial Citizen No. 1, someone who didn’t even qualify as an extra?!
