I Returned Thinking It Was the Ending, But The e Genre Had Changed

I was the villainess of the original novel, but I successfully dodged my death flags and faked my own demise to escape. I saved a pitiful child destined to die, and sacrificed myself to ensure the original protagonists could live a peaceful life. Hidden away, I waited for my own version of a "happily ever after."

When I finally heard news of the original leads’ wedding, I was overjoyed—but it was short-lived. Upon hearing the news of my mother’s passing, I hurried back to my hometown...

Only to find my childhood friend and former fiancé—the original male lead—waiting for me.

“If I knew you’d fall for something as simple as an obituary, I would’ve put one out much sooner.”

I thought he had married another woman, but he stood before me with madness in his eyes, smiling.

What’s wrong with you? You weren’t supposed to be like this.

“You aren’t going anywhere now.”
