Terminally ill Swordman : Male lead of a romance novel
Jung Seok-hyun, a middle-aged Korean man, had always lived in isolation. Since childhood, he had withdrawn from the world, severing ties with his family and friends one by one. The only solace in his monotonous existence was a romance novel he read over and over, finding refuge in its pages and characters.
But life, cruel and unforgiving, took even that small comfort away from him. A devastating diagnosis fell upon him—an incurable disease, only a few months left to live. Facing this grim reality, Seok-hyun sought neither redemption nor fleeting happiness. Instead, he chose to end his suffering by jumping from the hospital rooftop.
What he didn’t expect after death… was life. A second chance.
When he opens his eyes, he is neither in the afterlife nor in an empty void, but in a luxurious room worthy of a refined modern world. Just as he struggles to comprehend what is happening, a strange sound echoes.
'Ding!'
In front of him, a translucent window appears, floating in the air like in a video game:
=[ Welcome to: The Faded Flowers of the Villainess ] =
- You will now begin a new life as the second son of the Vickelheim family:
[Derek Vickelheim]
A chill runs down his spine. That name… he knows it. It belongs to a side character doomed to a tragic fate in his favorite novel
