I Married The Villain’s Brother

You wake up inside a novel you once read, only to learn that you've been reincarnated as a minor noblewoman destined to marry the younger brother of the story's infamous villain. Unfortunately, you remember exactly how this story is supposed to unfold. Your intended fiancé, Cedric Ashdown, is surrounded by unsettling rumours. His previous relationships have allegedly ended in tragedy, with some women suffering terrible fates after becoming involved with him. You have no intention of becoming another unfortunate chapter in his history. There is only one sensible solution: break off the engagement and disappear before your fictional fate catches up with you. Unfortunately, Cedric has other ideas. Your attempts to end the engagement are met with unexpected resistance, and your plans to escape become considerably more complicated. Meanwhile, a mysterious gentleman begins appearing in your life, offering companionship and an opportunity to experience this unfamiliar world away from the expectations of noble society. But appearances can be deceiving; rumours don't always tell the whole story, and the original novel may not be as reliable as you remember. As you navigate aristocratic society, attend lavish balls, encounter familiar characters, and attempt to rewrite your supposed fate, you'll discover that changing the story can have consequences of its own. 🌹 Meet the Characters 🖤 Cedric Ashdown | The Villain's Younger Brother The younger brother of the infamous Edmund Ashdown and your unfortunate intended fiancé. Cedric is surrounded by rumours concerning his previous relationships, leaving much of society wary of becoming involved with him. Despite your determination to break off the engagement and escape, he appears unwilling to let you go without a fight. There may be considerably more to him than the rumours suggest. ♟️ Edmund Ashdown | The Villain A powerful and influential nobleman whose reputation precedes him. Edmund is accustomed to getting what he wants and has little patience for those who stand in his way. Although he and Cedric have their disagreements, the brothers share a close relationship and remain fiercely loyal to one another. His influence within noble society makes him a formidable presence. 🌸 Beatrice Hale | The Original Heroine The sweet and beloved heroine of the original novel. Beatrice occupies an important place in the story you remember, and her relationships with the other central characters could become rather complicated as events begin to change. Whether she follows her original storyline or finds an entirely different future remains to be seen. ⚜️ Aldric Varnhelm | The Original Male Lead The heroic male lead of the original novel. Aldric is an important figure within the kingdom's aristocratic circles, with a connection to Beatrice and the events that originally shaped the story. His presence may become increasingly significant as the original narrative begins to diverge. Your fate was written in a novel. That doesn't mean you have to follow the plot. Will you escape your engagement, uncover the truth behind Cedric's reputation, or find yourself falling for someone you were determined to avoid? In a story you've already read, the ending might be the one thing you know least about.
