Description
“I didn’t cheat on you with your fiancé; it was fate, do you understand?” The heroine eloped with my fiancé. On the day of our engagement. After a moment of disbelief, the male lead came to me. “The lady I picked out for the contract marriage ran off with her friend’s fiancé.” “Goodness, there’s a lady just like me.” “So I’m thinking of proposing a contract marriage to that friend.” The eyes beneath the bushy eyebrows gleamed sharply. “Will you marry me, milady?” … It seems to be me. ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ Since my fiancé ran away anyway, there wasn’t much choice; I entered the wedding hall with the male lead. I agreed to the contract with the intention of running away if necessary. “I’ll try to make you a precious person to everyone.” His fingertips, which descended to my earlobe, lightly brushed my tiny earring. Shivers ran down my spine. “The earring suits you very well.” The earring had a purple gem that matched his eye color. Something seems wrong with this contract marriage after all.

My Thoughts on Instead of the Heroine, I Married the Male Lead
"Instead of the Heroine, I Married the Male Lead" promised a fun twist on the typical fantasy romance, and for the most part, it delivered. The premise alone – sidestepping the chosen one to snag the male lead myself – was enough to pique my interest, and I dove in hoping for a clever and engaging story.
First Impressions
Initially, I was hooked. The protagonist is intelligent and logical, a refreshing change from some of the more passive or naive female leads I've encountered. The male lead, while initially described as somewhat dull, turned out to be a surprisingly interesting character, capable and forward-thinking. The European-inspired setting added a nice layer of atmosphere, and the comedic undertones kept things light even when the drama ramped up.
What Works Well
The romance itself is well-developed, and I enjoyed watching the relationship between the main characters unfold. It felt earned, not rushed, which is always a plus in my book. I also appreciated the satisfying revenge served to the antagonists. Seeing the heroine's machinations exposed and her belief that the world owes her something challenged was particularly enjoyable. The author did a good job of making her schemes transparent to everyone but herself, creating a delicious sense of anticipation as her plans crumbled.
Areas of Concern
However, I did find myself stumbling a bit towards the end. There was a shift in focus that felt somewhat jarring.

Overall, I'd recommend it with a slight word of caution.
