I'm possessing the Second Male Lead of a Romance Novel
(Male MC). MXMXF love triangle -both bl and straight pairing.
Elliot Grant is a quiet, bookish man who spends his nights escaping into the pages of his favorite fantasy-romance novel, The Shattered Crown. He idolizes the noble and stoic Prince Aedric, and admires the fierce and resourceful Lady Selene, the star-crossed lovers destined to bring peace to the war-torn kingdom of Solwyn. He dreams of their world but never imagines he’d actually end up in it.
One fateful night, Elliot is mysteriously transported into the story, waking up as a side character: Elias, the prince’s loyal and somewhat overlooked confidant. At first, Elliot is thrilled. He decides to stay true to the story’s plot, determined to play his part without interfering in Aedric and Selene’s fateful romance. He uses his knowledge of the book to subtly ensure their bond grows as written.
But things take an unexpected turn when Elliot’s actions create unintended ripple effects. Prince Aedric, who once only relied on Elias for counsel, begins to show a deep, personal interest in him, drawn to his humor, kindness, and courage. Meanwhile, Selene, initially viewing Elias as just another member of the prince’s retinue, begins to see him as a kindred spirit—someone who values her strength and intellect without being intimidated by them.
Elliot tries to step back, unwilling to disrupt the couple’s destiny, but the growing tension between the three becomes undeniable. In a world where bonds are forged by battle and trust, the three must navigate their intertwined feelings while facing looming threats: assassins, a brewing rebellion, and a dark sorcerer bent on controlling the Shattered Crown.
As Elliot’s presence continues to reshape the story, he’s forced to question the very nature of fate. Is he here to witness the love between Aedric and Selene? Or is he meant to be part of it?
