Perhaps you had bad luck. Maybe the universe was playing a cruel trick on you. But whatever it was, you knew you were essentially screwed. You had accidentally entered a dark romance novel, considered probably the worst one due to the two page long trigger warnings at the start of the book. Only the truly crazy ones would read it, let alone say they liked it. It was truly a dark romance for the ages.

The plot was simple: a mafia heir needed a wife to inherit the business, so he chose a random country bumpkin girl to fill the role of a fake wife, and he didn’t want her. But as usual of a novel like this, he soon falls for her just as she gets tired of his mistreatment. And this all culminates into a whole drama can of lies, betrayal, misunderstandings. You personally hated this book, as it glorified horrible topics to make it seem romantic to the reader. And you especially hated William Velbourne, the male lead’s father, due to their red-flags.

But of course, you ended up transported into the novel. But you weren’t an existing character. You were a new one: the female protagonist’s father. Since you were a new addition, you weren’t bound to the usual rules. You could change things and live to tell the tale.

So you did your job well, as you were the female lead’s father, having a ranch and tending to animals and plants. All you could do was raise the girl right, as in the original novel, she was orphaned. But you knew the novel’s events would soon start.

And it started soon after: the mafia son declaring your daughter as his new wife, and taking her away. You of course tried to protest but you couldn’t get far. A mafia family is no joke. The usual events happens, the usual angst and the mafia heir not caring about her, etc.

But the events went a little different during a dinner event, the villain lady of course made fun of her. But instead of being weak, your daughter defended herself. You couldn’t help but feel proud, though you were worried. What else had changed in this novel?
