She wrote down these things when she was young.

Just if she had to search for a particular memory, she simply had to read them.

“Where is it? It was pink.”

Yernia opened her desk drawer and rummaged through her thick diary.

She had a habit of keeping a diary.

At first, she just started to jot down the memories she had recalled from her previous life, but later, she realized that she liked writing in her diary, so she wrote in it and kept it consistent.

Thanks to that, Yernia had to dig through the pile of notebooks, and it took her a while to find the diary she needed.

The corners were crumpled, and the ink on the pages had faded over the years.

The papers had turned over without stopping.

Finally, she paused when she stumbled into something she wanted to see.

Moving forward, Yernia turned one page more and took a closer look at it.

“I found it.”

Yernia had written down what was supposed to happen in her future.

Her green eyes skimmed the words.

Finally, she found the memory she had written down in a hurry which explains her messy handwriting.

Eight-year-old Yernia.

Why did she have to write the story development like this?

Yernia blamed herself for it, and she began to decode her writing as if she possessed a unique password that she only knew.

“Look. I’m not Cassian’s fated guide. Then, was Cassian’s guide turned out to be made for him?”

She couldn’t remember clearly.

Sadly, eight-year-old Yernia did not write such information.

However, considering that there should be a fated guide to an Esper in this world, the original heroine, Herena, must have been Cassian’s.

She gasped.

“Cassian and Herena will meet soon.”

Yernoa, who was reading the words on her diary one after another, paused.

Her life has been so peaceful that she completely forgot about the original novel.

It didn’t say precisely when they would meet, but one year should have been left before this forced marriage.

Within a year, Herena and Cassian would meet.

In ‘The Esper’s Arrogant Love,’ she thought she wouldn’t die in the future and be eliminated from the novel if she didn’t dare bother Herena, who entered the scene like this new shiny thing.

So she had lived without thinking about the consequences.

But it was a bit surprising that the novel’s main characters would meet soon.

Herena was a member of the royal family from another foreign county that had collapsed.

Sold to a nobleman, she became an enslaved person in his mansion and had tried to escape from there multiple times.

With her persistence, she finally succeeded.

Herena, who ran and ran as far as she could without even wearing proper footwear except for a single shoe, meets Cassian by being hit on his carriage.

To be exact, she almost got hit.

“Sir, save me. Please save me.”

Cassian tried to pick Herena up, usher her into his carriage and bring her to the hospital, but Herena had asked for his protection instead.

“Please, don’t take me to the hospital. Take me away from here and hide me.”

Maybe because he saw the desperation in  Herena’s eyes or perhaps because she is the female protagonist, or perhaps, Cassian’s weak heart, he listened to Herena, which would lead her to stay in the Lecardo mansion.

She stands out so naturally compared to Yernia.

“Why are you so interested in that enslaved person? Cassian, you must throw her out of your house immediately!”

“What does it matter to you?”

The ‘past Cassian’ and the ‘present Cassian’ were two different people.

“Yernia” herself was a different person, so it would make sense that he would also treat her differently.

In the original novel, he was a little colder and more ruthless.

“This entire thing is so unpleasant that it makes me ill. Why is she staying in your mansion when she wasn’t even your guide?”

“What’s wrong with you?”

“I’m… I was the one who was supposed to marry you, Cassian!”

“Why would I marry you?  Everything you say makes no sense at all.”

“What nonsense? You’re an Esper, and I’m a guide. Of course, it made sense.”

Yernia broke down at the risk of Herena’s incompetence.

Herena, who couldn’t become Cassian’s guide, was just an ordinary human being who wasn’t capable of anything.

Meanwhile, Cassian was sick and tired of Yernia’s jealousy.

Her forceful and stubborn personality also added to his growing hate for his childhood friend.

She didn’t care about his feelings at all.

The two were childhood friends, but they didn’t get along well in her previous life.

Meanwhile, Herena had appeared as a guide in the original novel.

Guides were so valuable that an enslaved person who turned out to be a guide would have made an exemption and raised their status.

As a guide, there was nothing that Herena, who was no longer enslaved at the time, could do to separate herself from Cassian.

Burning in her jealousy, Yernia torments Herena even more.

In the end, Cassian couldn’t watch the atrocities of his childhood friend with his eyes wide open that he snapped Yernia’s slender neck and lived happily ever after with Herena.

Herena was Cassian’s destiny.

It was Herena’s right, the original female protagonist, for her name to appear in Cassian’s chest instead of Yernia, the supporting character of the true villain.

But why did her name appear instead?

Yernia became more confused the more she read into her diary.

She wondered if she missed anything, but Yernia had landed a supporting role in the novel as a villainess as far as she could remember.

This doesn’t make sense at all.

“Yena, does this shock you?”

Yena was unexpectedly surprised at the approaching voice, and she immediately hid her diary inside her drawer.

She looked over her shoulder and saw Seria standing there, leaning against the door frame with her arms folded.

Yernia swallowed hard.

“What?”

“What do you mean? Your face paled the instant you knew you were the guide dedicated to Cassian. You ran away from him and escaped to your room.”

“Oh, that. Right. I was too shocked. I can’t believe it.”

For a moment, Yernia thought Seria her diary.

If Seria figured out whoever wrote this diary’s identity, she would run to Cassian right away and tell him about it.

She would show Cassian her diary and announce, “Yena wrote a novel about you!”

Just imagining it sent chills down her spine.
