I Pretended To Be Dead And Escaped, But The Male lead Became Strange

I reincarnated as Raylee, the villainess who used to torment the female lead, only to be killed by the male lead in a tragic way.

I tried everything I could to get closer to the male lead in order to survive…

“The people I keep by my side fall into only two categories: those stronger than me, or those who obey my orders.”

But when I actually met the male lead in reality, he was far ruder than in the original story.

He constantly belittled me, humiliating me every time he defeated me in a fight.

“Impressive. You’re truly useless.”

My confidence shattered completely, and I resolved to leave.

I did just enough to keep up with the male lead and female lead for a while, then…

On one of our joint missions, I handed over crucial evidence about the villains—
and then faked my death in an “accident.”

‘I’m free!’

That was five years ago.

Since then, a lot has changed.

A statue bearing my name was erected in the public square.

“If it weren’t for you, the western continent would’ve been destroyed long ago!”

The female lead rose to become the Queen of Mercenaries.

“This is nothing compared to the sacrifice you made, Lady Lyle.”

And the male lead? He became a fugitive?

“They say he used forbidden magic… to bring Raylee Volks back to life.”

But that didn’t matter to me anymore.

I simply wanted to go on with my life as if nothing had happened.

Until I met the male lead again—his memory completely gone.

“May I… call you My Lady?”

…Excuse me?
