Summary  After being reborn, I realized I had become the heroine of a novel I once read. But the problem is — this novel is famous for being super tragic and miserable! The heroine keeps suffering over and over again. There’s no way I want to live like that. Watching it was fun, but living it myself? No thanks. And the main reason she suffers is because she gets involved with the male lead when they’re young. Because she couldn’t ignore her feelings, she ends up walking a thorny path and only finds a little happiness in the last few chapters and extras. So I decided — I won’t live like the heroine. I’ll just be a normal country noblewoman and live peacefully. But then, when I turned eighteen — the year of my debut ball — my family went bankrupt. Why?! Still, I couldn’t just sit and cry. I needed to pay off my family’s debt and live a calm, happy life. The problem? The best-paying job I could find was… working as the male lead’s secretary. I didn’t want to get involved with him at all, but I had to survive somehow. So I endured it. But this man — he’s supposed to be kind and loyal to the heroine, yet as my boss he’s totally horrible! Once I pay off my debts, I’m running back to the countryside to live quietly. Except… He suddenly says,

“Triple salary. Everything you earn — and everything I give you — will be yours.”

He’s trying to tempt me with money now?! And then—

“No, you can’t go. You’re my fiancée.”

It’s just a contract engagement, but he refuses to let me go. At this point, I really want to quit being the heroine!
