The Male Lead Trains Me with Money
남주가 돈으로 나를 조련한다
After being reborn, I found myself possessing the heroine of a novel I had read before. But this story was infamous for being an absolutely brutal tragedy where the heroine suffers, and suffers, and suffers again. And living that kind of life was the one thing I absolutely refused to do. A protagonist’s life? That’s only fun when it’s someone else’s life, not mine. Especially since the biggest reason the heroine ends up suffering is because she gets involved with the male lead in childhood…! What is love, even? Unable to turn away from her feelings for the male lead, she chooses a life of thorny hardship, only getting happy for the last three chapters and a few side stories. So I resolved to work hard and live not as the heroine, but as an ordinary countryside noblewoman. And then… At eighteen, the very year I was supposed to have my debutante ball, my family went completely bankrupt. Why? But I couldn’t just sit there in such a ridiculous situation! I had family debts to repay, and I still wanted to live my peaceful and happy life. Unfortunately, the highest-paying job I could possibly get was working as the male lead’s aide. I truly didn’t want to get entangled with him, but when it comes to survival, there’s no choice. So I endured it and became the male lead’s aide. But while he may have been utterly devoted to the heroine… As a boss, he’s a complete tyrant?! The moment I finish paying off the debt, I’m going straight back to the countryside to live a quiet and content life. But this male lead— “Triple the allowance. Everything placed in your arms is yours.” As if tempting me with money wasn’t enough— “No. You’re my fiancée.” Even though it’s only an engagement by contract, he has absolutely no intention of letting me go. I really want to quit being the protagonist!
