She cried for a fictional man the world forgot.
Every night, curled around a book already memorized, she prayed for him—the second lead no one chose. The man who stayed when everyone else walked away. The one who smiled through abandonment, swallowed his pain, and clapped the loudest at the wedding that shattered him.
In Enchanted, he was never meant to win.
The male lead—arrogant, rich, untouchable—got everything.
The female lead—soft, kind, endlessly forgiving—proved her worth and got her forever.
And the second lead?
He stood by them. Protected them. Loved silently.
Then, on the night they married, he went home alone…
and ended his life.
He didn’t get a happy ending.
He got a fandom.
And she was its most broken member.
She mourned him like someone real.
Cursed the author.
Cursed the leads.
Cursed herself for loving a man who never existed.
Until she woke up.
Not in her world.
But in Enchanted.
And not as the heroine.
Not as a side character.
She woke up as the villain.
The woman destined to be hated.
The obstacle meant to be crushed.
The one who, in the original story, played a small but crucial role in pushing him closer to despair.
This time, she refuses to follow the script.
She doesn’t care if the male lead hates her.
She doesn’t care if the female lead misunderstands her.
She doesn’t care if the entire world turns against her.
Because this time—
She will stand by him.
She will see his pain.
She will choose him when no one else does.
And if the world insists on calling her a villain for it?
So be it.
She didn’t wake up to steal a love story.
She woke up to save a life.

Indian Version.

Called cold, heartless… but she feels too much


🌙 Second Male Lead (The One She Saves)


Always in the background, always present


👑 To complete the circle (optional but recommended)


Anaya Arora was born into the story as a villain.


Reyansh Oberoi was written to die for someone else's happiness.


She stands beside the man who was abandoned—


and dares the world to call her evil for it.


CHAPTER 1 — THE VILLAIN OPENS HER EYES


Silk sheets. Heavy curtains. The smell of expensive perfume and old money.


For a moment, she thought she had finally died—heart broken beyond repair, lungs still aching from nights spent crying for a man who never knew she existed.


A name whispered with fear and disgust.


"No," she whispered, voice hoarse. "No, no—"


She staggered out of bed, bare feet hitting cold marble, and rushed toward the mirror.


The woman staring back was breathtaking.


Sharp jaw. Dark eyes. Lips always set in arrogance.


The woman who, in the novel, ruined lives for amusement.


Her fingers trembled as they touched the glass.


"If this is a dream," she whispered, "don't wake me up."


Because the memories weren't just hers.


They belonged to this Anaya—the cruelty, the manipulation, the scenes she remembered reading with clenched fists.


She slid down against the mirror, breath coming apart.


The vows that were never meant for him.


Reyansh Oberoi was found dead the next morning.


"They leave you," she whispered to the empty room, voice darkening. "They always leave you."


Anaya rose slowly, spine straightening, eyes hardening.


"If the world needs a villain to save you," she murmured, "I'll become one."
