The Male Lead Trains Me with Money

I was reborn and possessed the heroine of a novel I had read before. But this work is a notoriously miserable story where the heroine gets ground down, again and again and again. I refused to live that kind of life. A protagonist’s life? It’s only fun when it belongs to someone else, not me. Especially since the biggest reason the heroine ends up suffering is getting involved with the male lead in childhood……! What was love worth, to give up all affection for the male lead and step into every thorny path, choosing a life with only the last three chapters and a few side stories of happiness? So I worked hard and decided not to live the heroine’s life, but the ordinary life of a rural noble. But then…… At eighteen, the year I was supposed to have my debutante ball, our house suddenly went bankrupt. Why? I couldn’t just sit there helplessly in this absurd situation! I had to pay off the family debts and also live my peaceful, happy life. But the highest-paying job I could get happened to be working as the male lead’s assistant. I really didn’t want to get involved, but one has to make a living, so I endured it and became his assistant. And yet, even though he had been so devoted to the heroine…… As a boss, he was a complete exploiter?! Once I pay off all my debts, I’m going straight back to the countryside to live a life of contented leisure. But this male lead. “Triple the allowance, and everything that involves holding you is yours.” Not only does he try to tempt me with money. “No, you’re my fiancée.” Even though the engagement was only contractual, he has no intention of letting me go. I really want to quit being the protagonist!
