‘I possessed the female lead who runs away after becoming pregnant with the male lead's child. I know the original story, so there’s nothing to misunderstand!” So, I decided not to run away and instead seduce the male lead... “Quite a convincing act." My pretense of being the tragic original female lead was immediately seen through. “It seems my wife isn’t in the condition for a boat ride.” My desperate attempt at skinship to earn the female lead’s buff was brutally ignored. “Am I truly doomed?” After a moment of despair and grueling effort, I improved my relationship with the male lead and confessed about the pregnancy. But then. “The child.” With the same hand that had gently caressed Dahlia's belly, he softly cupped her cheek. “This way, I’ll have no choice but to kill you myself.” The warmth of his hand on her cheek felt chilling. “Don’t you agree, my wife?” …I should’ve just run away. It seems I’m totally screwed. ................................................................. Disclaimer: All rights to the original content belong to their respective creators.

This reimagining of the classic Snow White fairytale dares to delve beyond the surface of the familiar narrative. It’s a story that seeks to empower the heroine, not just as a beautiful princess, but as a formidable warrior and a burgeoning sorceress. The Snow White you will encounter within these pages is not a passive damsel in distress, but an active participant in her own destiny, a master of her own fate. The familiar elements of the tale are here, the evil Queen, the poisoned apple, even the magic mirror – but twisted, reshaped, and re-envisioned through a lens of political intrigue, magical prowess, and a fierce determination to conquer the darkness that surrounds her. Forget the gentle princess; this is a story of rebellion, a story of strength, a story of a young woman who defies the expectations placed upon her and rises to seize her rightful power. The magic system within these pages is intricately woven, reflecting a world of both wonder and danger, a world where the lines between good and evil blur and the fight for survival is always one step away. Prepare yourself for a journey filled with thrilling action sequences, cunning political maneuvers, and a romance that burns as bright as the magic itself. This is Snow White, redefined.
