I Didn’t Mean to Seduce the Male Lead

After unexpectedly inhabiting the body of Baroness Eleanor Marice, a young widow with only a brief mention in the original tale, I’ve managed to build a reputable name in high society through sheer effort. When presented with a tempting proposal—to discreetly guide the male lead, Rian, in matters of romance and ensure his destined bond with the imperial princess—I saw a chance to secure my future. Confidently arriving at his estate with the intention of a brief visit, I was completely unprepared for his sudden confession. Instead of the simple encounter I’d planned, I found myself entangled in an unexpected and scandalous turn of events, forever altering my carefully crafted life in the empire.
