I Returned Thinking It Was the Ending, But the Genre Changed

A woman who escapes her fate as a doomed villainess returns home expecting a quiet life, only to find that the story has taken a darker turn. She fakes her death and helps the novel’s main couple reach their happy ending before disappearing from their lives. Years later, she comes back for her mother’s funeral and falls into a trap. Her former fiancé, the novel’s male lead, is waiting for her, though he was meant to be happily married to the heroine. He reveals that he fabricated the obituary to draw her out of hiding, and his obsessive gaze makes clear that he will not let her escape again.
