I Quit Being The Male Lead’s Rival

Annabelle remembers her past life and realizes she has been reincarnated as a popular character in a novel—one destined to end up in prison after doing terrible things to the male lead, Ian. Determined to avoid that fate, she works to protect him from the conspiracies targeting him, one by one. Her efforts draw unexpected attention: Ian’s mother admires her chivalrous spirit, and a prince invites her to the opera. Annabelle tells Ian she is done being his rival and plans to live an ordinary life, even if that means marrying a man with no character. Yet Ian becomes strangely fixated on her new attitude, while the people around her seem just as peculiar.
