The Male Protagonist Manipulates Me With Money
남주가 돈으로 나를 조련한다
Synopsis
I was reborn as the female lead of a novel I once read—but unfortunately, it’s famous for being relentlessly tragic. The female lead spends her life suffering, all because she gets tangled up with the male lead from a young age. I had no intention of living that kind of life.
So I chose a different path: not the heroine’s, but that of an ordinary rural noblewoman.
Everything was going fine—until the year I turned eighteen, when my family suddenly went bankrupt. With debts to repay and my peaceful life on the line, I had no choice but to find work. The problem? The highest-paying job available was becoming the male lead’s aide.
I wanted to avoid him at all costs, but survival comes first. However, while he was devoted to the original heroine, as a boss he’s nothing short of a tyrant. Worse, he refuses to let me go, tempting me with money and tying me down with a contractual engagement.
All I want is to quit being part of the story and live quietly—but the male lead won’t let the “protagonist” walk away.
