The Tragic Male Lead Chose the Wrong Partner

I don’t know the original story, but it seems I’ve possessed the fake bride in a romantic comedy. In case I was caught being a fake bride in the future, I’ve already come up with a solid plan to win over the male lead and everyone around him. “This marriage is just a business deal.” Sigh, so typical. You’ll end up as my doormat anyway, so what’s with the attitude? All I did was go around spreading endless positive energy and a sunny smile, like a proper romantic comedy heroine should be… So why does the male lead keep looking like he’s being tormented? “I don’t like you.” I just brushed off his coldness and thought of it as the usual denial phase before he falls for me. He gave me a look of resignation, as if he was looking at a wall that I couldn’t get over—but his ears were bright red. Even though he said no with his mouth, his body was honest. “…It’s not like I can lock you up, can I?” It seems like he’s starting to fall for me… But why does his obsession feel like something out of a dark angst novel? I had no idea the original story was actually an ‘emotionally destructive’ genre known for being dangerously toxic. Ah—whatever! I say it’s a rom-com!
