Falling for the Second Male Lead
Episode 1
Silvia Prescott, an ordinary office worker, sat in her apartment reading the final chapter of her favourite web novel, "The Romance of the Royals". It was close to midnight, yet she couldn't help but want a happy ending for her favourite female lead...
After moving out of her parents' house, she'd been feeling quite lonely, so she developed a hobby of escapism through reading.
Silvia Prescott
That's it!?
Silvia Prescott
That's the end... I-
Silvia Prescott
CURSE YOU AUTHOR, I HOPE YOU HAVE A BAD DAY!
Silvia Prescott
Just how could you bear to give this beautiful female lead a bad ending 😢😫
Silvia Prescott
She loved him so much... yet he took advantage of that and took over her kingdom? WHAT BULLSHÌT
Silvia Prescott
Oh... A phone call.
Silvia Prescott
*On call* Hello?
？？？
*On call* Hey honey, why're you still up? Isn't it late over there?
Silvia lives in another part of the country, so her and her family have a time difference.
Silvia Prescott
*On call* Yeah, I was just about to sleep, mom.
？？？
*On call* Alright, then I won't keep you long.
Silvia Prescott
*On call* It's fine, mom. It seems like you finally have the time to talk to me. 🙂
Silvia Prescott
*On call* Mom, are you... going to visit me soon? It's been so long since I last saw you.
？？？
*On call* No, honey. You know I'm always busy with work. I don't get a single day off!
？？？
*On call* Why don't you visit, honey?
Silvia Prescott
*On call* I visited three months ago... I don't think I can get another day off until next year.
？？？
*On call* It's alright, honey. We can always just call like this
Silvia Prescott
*On call* But-
？？？
*On call* Oh honey, I have to go. I've a work call. Byee! Love you.
Silvia Prescott
*On call* Bye, mom. Lo- *call cuts*-ve... you.
Silvia Prescott
*Sigh* If only I could escape this world, forget reality...
Silvia Prescott
Hmm... Maybe if I go into this novel's world... I could not only give the female lead a happy ending...but also be happier myself.
Silvia Prescott
Hah! Who am I kidding...
Well, you know what they say... be careful what you wish for
Silvia Prescott
Whatever, I'll post a bad review tomorrow morning. I can't believe I wasted my precious time on this stupid novel. 500 chapters! Leading to this ending! I could have been sleeping 😔
Author 🤪
Thank you for reading 😊
Episode 2
My surroundings... they're very lavish, unlike my cramped, lame apartment. It smells like lavenders, how wonderful. If I'm kidnapped, then my kidnapper must be rich.
？？？
Um, these aren't even my hands 😰
Lydia
Your Highness, may I come in?
The unknown lady runs to the first mirror she can spot. She sees...
Eleanor Blythe (FL)
Holy sh*t. Who is that? Is that me... She's copying my actions. No wait, she is me 😨
Eleanor Blythe (FL)
AH, C-Come in
Lydia
Your Highness. *bows* These are the clothes I've prepared for you today. Your luggage is already loaded on the carriage, as you ordered. We will be leaving for the Royal Academy at noon. Do you need anything else?
Eleanor Blythe (FL)
(Wait, Royal Academy...) Um, no… Ah, wait, this-is this the Kingdom of Eldoria? Am I Eleanor Langston, Princess of Eldoria?
Lydia
*stunned* Yes, your Highness. Might I ask, are you alright?
Eleanor Blythe (FL)
Haha... no, I mean, yes, I'm alright. I- I was just quizzing you 🙂
Eleanor Blythe (FL)
You can leave me for now.
Lydia
Alright, I'll be right outside if you need me. *bows and leaves*
Eleanor Blythe (FL)
Unbelievable, I'm the female lead of my, once, favourite novel.
System initializing... 3... 2... 1
Eleanor Blythe (FL)
Hmm, what's that sound?
System IV
Hello, I am your system. I will help you accomplish your goal: giving the female lead a happy ending. You will be given a set of tasks to accomplish your goal.
Eleanor Blythe (FL)
AHHH- WHAT THE FÙCK
Eleanor Blythe (FL)
You're a... fox?? And since when was it my goal to give the female lead a happy-
Eleanor Blythe (FL)
Never mind, I did say that 😶
System IV
I am System IV, not a fox.
Eleanor Blythe (FL)
(You look like a fox, though.) Hah, whatever, help me leave this world. I want to go back home!
System IV
You must accomplish your goal to return to your world.
Eleanor Blythe (FL)
*Sigh* Is there no way for me to go back home before that?
System IV
Your first task is: Attend Royal Academy.
Author 🤪
Thank you for reading. 😊
Author 🤪
What do you think will happen at the Royal Academy? 🤭
Episode 3
Eleanor Blythe (FL)
That damn fox. Telling me my task and running off without saying anything else about how to get back home. How annoying.
Well, now that I'm here, I have to make things better for my dearest female lead.
Eleanor Blythe (FL)
Father...
Caesar Langston (Father of FL)
I'm going to miss you 🥹
Caesar Langston (Father of FL)
Are you sure you don't want to be homeschooled? The best comfort is always at home, baby princess.
Eleanor Blythe (FL)
Yes, Father, I'll be fine. You don't have to worry. I'll be back for the winter holidays!
Lydia
Your Majesty, Your Highness *bow*
Lydia
The carriage is ready.
Caesar Langston (Father of FL)
Come back soon, honey. Your mother and I will be waiting.
Eleanor Blythe (FL)
Alright, Father. It's unfortunate that Mother couldn't make it to see me off. Tell her my well wishes. Goodbye!
Caesar Langston (Father of FL)
You can always come back home if you don't like it there, princess. Goodbye!
The maid and I get in the carriage. Then we set off for the Royal Academy.
Eleanor Blythe (FL)
(What a comfortable dress, perfect for the ride)
Eleanor Blythe (FL)
Hey, what was your name again?
Lydia
*confused* (How could her Highness forget my name, we grew up together) Your Highness, my name is Lydia. I have been your maid since the age of 8.
Eleanor Blythe (FL)
Ah, of course! Quizzing you again 😄
Lydia
(Her Highness must be really stressed about going to the Royal Academy 😟)
Lydia
Don't worry, Your Highness, I will help you no matter what! I definitely will not let you suffer at the Academy on your own. 😊
Eleanor Blythe (FL)
Haha... yeah, thanks. I appreciate it. 😅
It seemed like we were traveling for ages. I can't wait to sleep on a nice comfy bed.
Lydia
Your Highness, we will be resting at an inn ahead since it's dark.
Eleanor Blythe (FL)
Finally, I thought I would die from sitting 😵💫
Lydia
*Sigh* Your Highness, mind your words, please.
We enter the inn. It seems a bit gloomy for my tastes, but it'll do for one night. The coach man got us a room.
Eleanor Blythe (FL)
There's definitely something off about this inn. Don't you think so, Lydia?

While our female lead does seem a bit dumb, she might be onto something 😏
