When the Female Lead Went Off-Script, the Main Male Lead Became the Tyrant's Empress - Chapter 10.1
Meanwhile, Clary was deeply bewildered.
The moment she received the baptismal blessing in the temple, something resembling a translucent window appeared before her eyes in an unfamiliar space.
‘Hey, is this that thing? The status window that most protagonists in regression, transmigration, and reincarnation stories see?’
The blue status window displayed her condition—or rather, the female lead’s character settings—in neat white letters.
〈 Character 〉
Character: Clary Lurie (18)
Role: Female Lead
Traits: Good-natured, kind, bookworm, animal lover, intellectual, sensitive to stimuli
Status Debuffs: Gaslighting, depression, self-loathing
※ A Good Samaritan born beneath the Star of Misfortune.
As long as she occupies the role of the female lead, virtue will always be repaid with misfortune, while flourishing vice will mock even death.
“Hey! Fuck! Hey!”
The author was undoubtedly an unhinged lunatic.
Instead of following the virtue of rewarding good and punishing evil, the author had shamelessly created a setting that rewarded evil and punished good.
“No wonder her life was so fucking twisted.”
Whether Clary was seething with resentment or not, the contents of the status window changed in an instant.
[ YES / YES ]
“What kind of choice only has ‘YES’?”
It was extremely suspicious and dubious, but there was only one option. She didn’t know what it was, but if she wanted to proceed, she had no choice but to press it.
Clary pressed the YES button like a new member of a pyramid scheme who had been forced to buy an expensive germanium bracelet in order to reach Blue Diamond rank.
〈 Character 〉
Character: Clary Lurie (18) / Nam Eunjeong (24)
Role: Female Lead
Traits: Extroverted, opportunistic
Status Debuffs: None
※ A human whom the Star of Misfortune is beginning to watch.
As long as she occupies the role of the female lead, virtue will always be repaid with misfortune, while flourishing vice will mock even death.
……This was what overwriting meant? And what did it mean that the Star of Misfortune intended to watch her?
While she stood there dumbfounded by the out-of-nowhere setting, the contents of the status window changed once again.

“Fuck, what an amazing mess of a status window.”
The important keywords weren’t even categorized, and everything was mixed together. It looked difficult to find anything before she could even choose what to keep or remove, so why was there a time limit?!
And why was it only thirty seconds?!
Clary frantically darted her eyes around to read as much as possible.
First, she tried to delete ‘#DarkAngst,’ the root of all evil, from the keywords.
A red pop-up window appeared and blocked the screen.
“What setting conflict?”
Nearly in tears from panic, Clary repeatedly pressed the option to delete the #DarkAngst keyword.
The Setting Conflict Error alert appeared every time.
After furiously tapping the window for some time, she finally realized it.
She couldn’t delete the keyword because of the female lead’s settings.
Then wouldn’t changing the female lead solve it?
Unfortunately, Clary had neither the time nor the presence of mind to examine the female lead candidates.
She blindly pressed delete on the female lead and tried deleting the #DarkAngst keyword again.
With one second remaining, the keyword disappeared cleanly without an error window.
At the same moment, the status window suddenly went…
“Blue screen!”
“Gaaah!”
Clary’s eyes flew open as she roared, and the priest who had been helping her rise from the water let out a short scream and collapsed onto the floor.
Whether the elderly priest clutched his chest and gasped or not, Clary stood like a wooden totem, dripping water as she furiously worked her brain.
That worked, right?
Something seemed a little strange at the end, but the keyword was deleted, right?
It had to be. It definitely had to be.
Farewell, dark angst!
The female lead is escaping!
People began murmuring at the sudden commotion.
That was when it happened.
It had only lasted for an instant, but Haster had unmistakably felt it.
The world flickered.
Countless strange gazes pierced through his very existence, so chilling that he couldn’t move.
It felt as though he were overwhelmed by the awe and fear inspired by some unknown higher being.
