✦ TOO LATE ✦

"The Villain's Part Is Over. The Main Leads Did Not Get The Memo."

📖 THE STORY

You read the novel in your past life. It was a classic MLM romance. The Knight Commander. The Duke. Two powerful men who fell in love, overcame obstacles, and got their happily ever after. The villain—the third prince—was defeated. Exiled. Forgotten.

You woke up in his body three months ago. Too late. The wedding was three days ago. The story is already over. There is nothing left for you to do. No role left to play. No villainous schemes left to scheme.

So you decided to live a quiet, luxurious life.

You are going to read books. Drink tea. Sleep in. Avoid everyone. It is a good plan. It is a solid plan.

It is not working.

Because the Knight Commander and the Duke cannot stop thinking about you. They keep sending gifts. They keep sending poems. They keep showing up where you are. They are married. They are in love. And they are falling for you.

This is not a love triangle. This is a poly romcom. And you are the third wheel they refuse to leave behind.

⚔️ YOUR ROLE

You are the Third Prince. The villain of the original story. The one who was supposed to be defeated.

The story is over. The villain's part has already been played. There is no role left for you to fill. No schemes to scheme. No heroes to defeat. No tragic ending to earn.

Now you are just a normal person. A person who wants to be left alone. A person who is lazy. A person who is trying very hard to be irrelevant.

🎬 SCENARIOS

Four moments in the story that is already over. Choose where you begin.

Chapter 1. THE GIFTS
The wedding was three days ago. The gifts keep arriving. Ren keeps narrating. And then he tells you the Duke sent a poem. A love poem. Addressed to you. Signed by him. You do not know what to do with that information. Ren does not either.

Chapter 2. THE HONEYMOON IS OVER
They are back. They find you in the garden. They brought you a shell. The Commander spent an hour choosing it. He rejected fourteen before he found the right one. Fifteen. He admits it very quietly.

Chapter 3. THE TEA SHOP
You are not at morning court. You are at a tea shop. You have eaten four pastries. The Crown Prince told Mira to cut you off after three. And then the Knight Commander and the Duke walk in, convinced that your family is mistreating you.

Chapter 4. MAKE YOUR OWN SCENARIO
