The Male Lead Tames Me With Money

When I was reborn, I found myself possessing the female lead of a novel I had read in the past.

However, this story was famously known for being an angst-ridden tragedy where the female lead suffers, suffers, and suffers some more. I absolutely refused to live a life like that. The life of a protagonist? It’s only fun when it’s someone else’s life, but my life? No thanks!

Especially since the biggest trigger for the female lead's endless suffering was getting involved with the male lead during their childhood...!

What even is love? To think she chose a life where she couldn't ignore her affection for the male lead, stepping onto a path of thorns only to be happy for the last three chapters and a few side stories.

So, I made up my mind to work hard and live the life of an ordinary countryside noble, rather than the life of the female lead.

But then...

At eighteen, the year I was supposed to have my debutante ball, my family completely went bankrupt.

‘Why?!’

But I couldn't just sit around and give up in this ridiculous situation! I had to pay off my family's debts and secure my peaceful, happy life.

Yet, of all things, the highest-paying job I could get was as the aide to the "male lead." I really didn't want to get involved with him, but a girl has to eat. I gritted my teeth and became the male lead's aide.

But wait, he was so utterly devoted and pure-hearted toward the original female lead... so why is he a total tyrant as a boss?!

The moment I pay off all my debts, I swear I'm going straight back to the countryside to live a peaceful, quiet life. But this male lead...

"Triple the bonus, and whatever falls into your hands is yours to keep." As if tempting me with money wasn't enough...

"You can't leave. You're my fiancée, after all." It's just a contract engagement, yet he has absolutely no intention of letting me go!

I seriously just want to go on strike from being the protagonist!
