I Crossed the Line Without Knowing It Was the Male Lead - Chapter 1

My longtime dream was to become a world-class fashion designer.

Growing up as a designer through many experiences, I decided to launch my own brand. It was the day I would finally held a fashion show with my name on it.

But just before I can show everyone the result of my hard labor, I died from overworking.

The moment I was born again, I burst out tears of resentment. Still, it didn’t took me a long time to adapt to my new life.

Perhaps God felt sorry, since this new life is a very favorable environment for me.

‘Luciana, the only daughter of the historical ‘Eustis Family’, is my mother.’

‘And Gerard, the golden youngest of ‘Brentio’, the Empire’s best military family… Is no other than my father!’

In short, our family has both wealth and force.

It is said that when Luciana and Gerard first met, the newspapers in the Empire were buzzing. That’s not surprising since my mother was beautiful enough to dominate the social world within the Empire.

There were countless men who dashed to court my mother. The first prince, the second prince, several sons of different noble families, as well as princes from foreign countries!!

Yet among them, it was my father, Gerard, who was chosen by my mother.

My father, who fell in love with my mother at first sight, actively courted her like an innocent muscular man.

More than a thousand of paper flowers, a scarf made of fabric that can only be obtained once in a century, and a letter that you won’t be able to finish reading because of its length…

My father was a great person who not only built a milestone during war, but also wrote a new history of proposal. However, looking at this through the public’s point of view, my mother’s choice was rather surprising.

Living his life with a crude sword in his hand, my father was a respected figure, but he’s definitely not popular among women. Most people don’t even know his face since he rarely attend social parties even during his childhood. That’s why he’s rumored to be a blood-loving ‘war maniac’ with a terrifying scar on his face.

When my mother chose my father, countless men who were not chosen was dumbfounded.

‘I lost to him?’

It is said that an article, more likely comparable to a thesis, was written regarding on how my father was chosen…

At that time, my mother dismissed all their doubts with her words.

“He’s beautiful when he smiles. If I’m going to say it myself, he got a killer smile.”

Those words raised suspicions that perhaps, my father sent a letter to my mother with a smile, but actually threatening my her to accept the proposal. But the rumor ended soon.

It was when my father attended a party holding my mother’s hand. It was a masquerade ball hosted by the Imperial family that my father, who don’t usually enjoy socializing, attended for my mother.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on my father, who became the center of topic.

The moment he took off his mask, everyone was finally convinced of my mother’s choice. Probably because… my father is a natural beauty with a killer smile, like what my mother says.

I still vividly remember when I spit out the milk I drank the first time I saw my father’s smile.

Is this what people mean by shining?

When I met my father, I thought he was the male lead. So I was shocked when I found out that he wasn’t.

Then, how handsome is the male lead? Well, I didn’t really want to know.

After all, there’s no way that I, who don’t even have a single line in the novel, would meet the male lead. I’m wondering how handsome he is, but…

There’s nothing good by being entangled with the poor male lead, who will suffer from obsession, exhaustion, and confinement alone.

There’s nothing I can’t do with what I possess now.

Wealth, power, and daughter-fool parents…

Having inherited superior genes, I was also unquestionably beautiful. How excited I was to find my mother’s distinct facial features and my father’s black hair and golden eyes. I’m so pretty in this life, that I feel like dancing.

But that happiness didn’t last long.
