ch11

ch8.3 MC gains bad rep, married off to nobleman who seems to have a sweetheart living in the same house, despises her due to her bad rep, asks her to stay away from the lady who is invalid. MC is abandoned and neglected even by maids. She travels to her husband's territory and uncovers embezzling scheme, deals with corrupt servant, yet when report to husband he gets angry at her instead. ML seems to be Claude, childhood friend, poor 3rd son of a baron, he briefly appears after graduating college but is leaving again to travel the world. MC is secretly in love with him. thank god for spoilers she doesn't end up with him, real ML is someone else.

ch90 mc transmigrates into the body of the villainess aka the fiance of the crown prince. the crown prince however is a cheating scumbag but wouldn't break the engagement from mc - instead he lets out news that they will declare their marriage date during the spring ball. mc saves a beggar from the streets who turns out to be handsome werewolf (aka ml) who had his fangs and tongue removed and exiled from his clan, she uses her as a date for the ball, the prince meets the FL during the ball and falls for her course so he doesn't go through his plans of announcing his marriage with mc. in the meantime, ml ran way from the ball after seeing another werewolf, he gets into a fight with the 3rd male lead of the novel aka red hair werewolf - he ends up wounded in mc's garden. red hair werewolf ends up causing a ruckus at mc's house looking for ml, but beaten back by mc's assassin sniper brother (aka male lead no 2 in the novel), mc ends up losing her temper at both of them for destroying the manor and scaring the servants. red hair werewolf ends up making an appointment to meet her as per her instructions, but mc takes on ml as her butler hence declaring him under her protection. she also gets the magic sword that the prince was meant to get in the novel, and uses it to defeat the red hair werewolf. mc then travels to the territory of the female lead so that she can use her healing powers to cure mc (she got injured in the fight with the werewolf) and also to seek a cure for ML's mutism. She becomes friends with the FL and decides to protect her from the problematic male leads (crown prince who is a cheating scumbag, her own brother who is a creepy stalker, red hair werewolf who is an idiot lol, and green hair tycoon who is super yandere). FL actually has awareness that she is in a novel where she is forced to repeat the plot over and over again, trapped in this storyline despite trying to escape the clutches of the male leads - she is pleasantly surprised when MC seems to be able to change things, this rekindles hope in herself to escape the plot. MC manages to "wake" her brother up by turning him into a bunny during the hunting party and chasing him down, she uses this to enlighten him that constantly chasing someone to "protect" them without them asking for it is super scary. During the festival, she wins all the games against the crown prince, she then gives him the grand prize - a princess tiara - saying that out of everyone he is closest to a princess. he gets offended but she tells him off for being a womaniser without focusing on politics and his people, he thinks its acceptable to cheat because he is the prince, yet he wants the support of her family but doesn't take into account MC's feelings, his behaviour can easily make the alliance crumble, as the only reason why her family are supporting him rn is because of their engagement. crown prince also seemed to be slapped awake and changes his behaviour, apologising to the other ladies he had affairs with and also apologising to mc and seems to want to win her favour back. FL gets kidnapped by ML's twin brother aka leader of the werewolves, mc and her party rescues her, which is a deviation of the plot where redhair werewolf saves her. ML also awakens during this time to save mc (in the plot it was supposed to be red hair werewolf). mc stopped ml from killing his brother, but disciplins the brother and the red hair werewolf instead and pretends to carve a curse on their fangs using her magic sword to stop them from causing trouble. mc also plants a trap for green haired tycoon, she first releases news of a fake gold mine to confirm the existence of his spy when he steals the gold mine- but also to invoke his anger and wish to kill mc. she uses his attempted murder to put him behind bars and claim compensation. in the meantime, mc putting herself in danger and invoking ML's worry and anger finally pushes mc to be aware of her own feelings and she confess to ml and they end up together yay. now mc is worried about the climax of the novel where there will be a war with demons. MC convinces her dad that war in looming by pretending to have heard an oracle, this is vouched by her maid Yona who was the one most loved by god (aka the fav character of the author). The god (aka will of the author) tries to end the world by making the demon seal break early and then offers MC the chance to go to another world while this one restarts, however MC refused, in anger the god took mc's eyes. mc remembers in the novel where the person whose power/thing was stolen has to cut the breath of Balal (aka the monster the god is possessing) in order to defeat it and gain back the thing they lost, mc with ml's help cuts the breath and gains her eyesight back, the FL seals the demons away and help heal the people. mc becomes famous overnight as the Lion Lady.
