Surviving in a Romance Fantasy Novel Novel

Seol Tae Pyeong transmigrates into an incomplete Eastern-style romance fantasy novel, unexpectedly becoming the younger brother of a female protagonist who exists nowhere in the source material. A third-rate warrior with a straightforward philosophy—earn generously while working sparingly—his aspirations demanded only comfort. The Princess Consort of Cheongdo Palace shattered his quiet plans, developing an all-consuming obsession with him. Trapped within an empire dominated by aristocratic conspiracies and ancient schemes, Seol learns survival exacts terrible prices. Orphaned and abandoned, haunted by absent parents, he carries the burden of a tragic past. His true abilities remain concealed, yet his strength multiplies with relentless intensity. Multiple love interests converge around him, each driven by obsessive devotion, creating spiraling misunderstandings and chaos. Royalty, polygamy, and hidden agendas weave through every interaction within Cheongdo Palace's storied walls. Carefree existence evaporates into myth as schemes proliferate endlessly. From mob protagonist to something far stronger, Seol navigates this harem of obsessive affections where the past haunts every choice, and survival—brutal, all-consuming survival—becomes the only truth that matters.
