The day I finally tried to save my mom from my trash of a father, I got into an accident and woke up inside a novel.

"Wait, I've read this book before."



A romance fantasy novel where the leads are a cheating couple.

"Dia, my daughter...!"

"...Mom."

I was reborn as the daughter of the woman who dies after being branded a villainess—the male lead's lawful wife. Seeing my own mother in her, I blurted out the words I never got to say to my real mom before I died.

"Divorce Dad, Mom."

"..."

After making a deal with a devil, we left the male lead's mansion and sought protection from my mother's maiden family, the Duchy of Winston. However, I still lacked the power to defy the original plot. So, I began searching for a pushover... I mean, a new stepdad who could be our strength.

The perfect candidate was the future Emperor, destined to become a tyrant. In the original story, he returns from the battlefield after my mother's execution and goes on a mad rampage as a magnificent tyrant. As they say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. But this future tyrant is acting a bit suspicious.

I stared intently at the future tyrant, who had been excessively kind to me for a while now, and asked:

"Your Highness, you like my mom, don't you?"

"Cough, hack, cough..."

"..."

Gotcha.

***

"I will become your own personal sword, Princess."

"..."

I looked down at the boy with beast-like yellow eyes and let a smirk play on my lips.

Everything is ready now. I'm not afraid of the original plot anymore.

This time, for sure, I'm going to be happy here with my mom.
