I got caught up in a rampaging Gate and possessed the body of the terminally ill villainess from a novel—Duchess Ariel.

In this world, mages and awakeners are sworn enemies.
And I happened to be the leader of the mages.

I tried to run away from the male lead—the emperor—my mortal enemy, out of fear.
But then the system blocked me.

[Choose a branching path without revealing your identity.]

Fine. I’ll survive. I’ll escape this insane story without anyone finding out I’m a Guide, and live well on my own!

I was planning to live quietly and without presence…
But then—

“If you toy with someone, you need to take responsibility.”
After a single night of “Guiding,” the male lead and Imprint Candidate #1, the emperor, became obsessed with me.

“Sweetheart, you smell so good. Can you do it again?”
Then there’s Serwin—an absurdly handsome man who doesn’t even exist in the original story. With a mysterious smile, he flirts constantly and becomes Imprint Candidate #2.

“I gave everything to you, My Lady!”
A sickly beautiful mage who keeps following me around ends up as Imprint Candidate #3.

“I’ll protect you.”
The emperor’s knight, who used to charge at me like an enemy, now declares he’ll protect me—Candidate #4.

“I want to know more about you.”
Then a knowledge-hungry, diligent, and upright cardinal shows up as the final Candidate #5.

And to top it all off, there are system quests:

• <Stop the mastermind trying to open the Gate and throw the world into chaos>

• <Prevent the rampage of the world’s strongest, the Emperor, and obtain the role of ???? >

Argh, what do you want me to do?!
My goal was just to retire and live peacefully as a duchess!
