The Planned First Kiss

After waking up following a fire, Lydia finds herself as a side character in a novel. Now the emperor’s 30th concubine, she wants to avoid the heroine and male lead and live a long, quiet life. For three years, she keeps peacefully outside the imperial castle, believing she will be free to do so if the story ends happily. Then a suspicious servant enters her life, offering to obey her every command if they can live together. As they share a home, he becomes both a kind servant and a dear friend. But Lydia finds herself unable to look away when he smiles flirtatiously with his red eyes, and begins to wonder whether her feelings are changing.
