I never expected this to happen to me in all my life. I believed it only happened in fairy tales or in novels. The thing is, this is my reality. I woke up first thing in the morning and found a Greek God laying in my bed. The sun shining through the windows looked magical. The reflection in the mirror was the most surprising thing of all.

There stood a beautiful tall Korean long haired goddess. Her eyes were a bit devious... devious isn't the correct word. I'd say her eyes were those of a seductress... Her eyes remind me of a dangerous, but elegantly beautiful panther. Her lips were plump and sexy. I touched the mirror and made weird motions in front of it to verify if this is really me.

I wonder who she could be? Why am I in her body? I searched around to look for clues. I found a phone on top of the dresser. Once my fingers touched the screen, the phone lit up and scanned my face. It verified that I was the owner. Once the screen opened up, a message popped up.

The message was from a person named Yongju Unni (sister in korean). I don't know anyone named Saeryung. I opened the message to read the contents. It read: 'SEOYOUNG! You're very late! Today's your first day. How could you do this to me? You promised you wouldn't be late! If you aren't here in 10 minutes, I'm disowning you!'

I had no clue what she was talking about, but she called me Seoyoung. I'm in a different person's body, but her name is the same. I scrolled up to see what other messages were sent between Yongju and me. The messages talked about an audition to a tv series. Apparently Seoyoung is an aspiring actress and she auditioned for a tv series called 'Roses are Dangerous'.

Where have I heard that name from? At that moment, I remembered the novel I was reading last night. I read a novel called 'The Film Empress and the Tyrant CEO'. I was furious with the ending because the female lead chose the male lead and not the villain.

The villain's name is Han Yu-Jun. He wasn't portrayed as a villain at the beginning of the novel. He had a shy personality and he secretly admires the female lead, Yoon Dambi. It was to be expected that Dambi would end up with the male lead, Kang Hyeonu. Every fan of this novel roots for Hyeonu and Dambi, but I was different. I liked the villain, Han Yu-Jun better.

I didn't like that he was married to a woman with the same name as me. Her name was Lee Seo-young. Not much was mentioned about her other than the fact that Yu-Jun divorced her. They never interacted in the first place. She did show up in one scene at the beginning when Dambi became the female lead in the Tv series, 'Roses are Dangerous'.

Seo-young in the novel aspires to be the next film empress and she's extremely jealous of Dambi. She wanted to become the female lead, but the director chose Dambi instead. They gave her the antagonist role. The original Seo-young is the typical side-character disposable villainess in novels. Seo-young tries to outwit Dambi, but fails in the end. Her acting skills are far below Dambi's. She is humiliated and becomes the laughing stock of the entire entertainment industry.

Everything from then on goes downhill for Seo-young. She gets divorced with Yu-Jun when he steps out of the limelight and leaves the entertainment industry. She moves overseas and never appears throughout the rest of the novel. If I've become the wife of the villain, Han Yu-Jun, then I think I hit the jackpot. The male god in my bed happens to be the villain I've been shipping! I also get money out of the divorce. I could easily live a good life once I'm divorced.

It's inevitable that he'll end up falling for the female lead. If I were him, I would fall for her too. She's beautiful, smart and funny. Who wouldn't fall in love with a female lead? I guess the only option I have is to let him fall in love with her and get divorced. It's sad that I won't see that handsome face anymore, but that's okay.

I'll just get divorced and move overseas like the original. She probably made a ton of money from the divorce and retired early. Isn't it everyone's dream to make a ton of money and move overseas to retire? I'd be happy to live that life. All I need to do is be on the villain's good side and don't cause any problems for the female and male leads. This'll be easy.

That's what I thought until my eyes caught the male god's beautiful eyes. Yu-Jun looked at me in disgust and said, "Why are you here? Did you sneak into my room at night to sleep with me again? How many times do I have to tell you that this marriage isn't for love?" Looks like I'm stuck in a rather sticky situation. The old Seo-young left me with this huge mess. How am I supposed to figure this out?

It seems that Seoyoung the villain's ex-wife is actually in love with him. She snuck into his room and I woke up in her body. It's obvious that Yu-Jun doesn't love her. He probably never even had a normal conversation with the original owner of this body.

What should I say to make this situation not so awkward? It's not like I was the one that decided to sneak into his bed at night. I just got into this body, okay? It would be strange if I said it like that. I cleared my throat loudly to get his attention, "My bad..." I scratched the back of my neck nervously. No wonder people say he's a villain... He's seriously mad. The aura around him was like death itself and the glare was like daggers.

I snuck past him and quickly grabbed the woman's clothes piled up beside the bed. I was wearing a nightgown that was somewhat see-through. I quickly put the robe on and tied it in front. I smiled at him and said, "I won't bother you anymore." I tried to run away afterwards, but he grabbed the back of my bathrobe and pulled me towards him. I frowned and pouted at him, tears were about to fall out from my eyes. The villain is a lot scarier than I thought.

I liked him in the novel, but he doesn't act the same way he does in front of the female lead. He treats everyone else badly. I'm probably included in the 'treating bad' category. it seems it'll be hard for me to be on friendly terms with him. I'll have to try harder to get him to not hate me. I choked, "I won't run away. So can you let go?" He let go of my robe and demanded, "Explain to me why you're in my bedroom."

I tried to be honest, "I don't know how I got in your bedroom. I must've been drunk or something... I won't make the same mistake. I promise." I tried my absolute best to give him the poor puppy look. I hope he's not the type to seek revenge. I assume that nothing happened last night, especially since they are fated to divorce in the future.

He stared at me in suspicion. It was hard keeping the same expression on my face when his menacing expression was directed right at me. Although he was scary, he was still absolutely beautiful. I didn't like the way his eyebrows scrunched up together when he glares. I couldn't help myself. I reached out and cleared the scrunch between his eyebrows.

At that moment Yu-Jun looked down at me in complete utter shock. I avoided his surprised gaze by staring down at my fingers and muttered, "Don't frown. You look better when you smile." He must've heard my nonsense. His shoulders tensed up and he suddenly began coughing. He avoided looking into my eyes. If my eyes aren't playing tricks on me, is he blushing right now?

His ears grew red and I could tell he was flustered by my comment. The desire spread like fire in my heart. I wanted to tease him so badly. I wonder what his reaction would be like if I kept teasing him. At this moment, my mind wandered off to seeing him blush and act like a cute boy. Just thinking about it makes my nose bleed. I woke myself up from my imaginations when I thought of the opposite reaction. His disgusted glare still made him look handsome, but I don't want to be on the other side of that glare.

I wanted to tease him badly, but that wouldn't be a good idea. I think it's best if I let him know that I have no intention of forcing this marriage. When I cleared up everything on my own, I slowly gained the courage to be who I've always been. Before I became Seoyoung the ex-wife of the villain, I was Seoyoung the famous idol. I don't have much experience as an actress, but I've been in the spotlight. I'm the queen of cute expressions and signature heartwarming smiles. I haven't tried it with this face, but hopefully it works.

I sat next to Yu-Jun and showed him my signature smile, "I don't remember what happened last night, but I hope we can get along. I know this marriage isn't for love, but that doesn't mean we have to be miserable. It's not like I wanted to get married in the first place." That last sentence was a lie. It is my dream to be married to a guy like Yu-Jun. Who wouldn't like a handsome male god to be their husband?

He somehow caught onto my expression. I could tell he was growing suspicious by the way he stared at me like I was a villainess. I'm being portrayed as a crazy person plotting something to get what she wants. He confirmed my thoughts when he questioned me, "What are you plotting this time? I could see you plotting something from a mile away."

It seems that he's been disgusted with Seoyoung's one-sided pursuits. This seems to be more challenging than I thought. I stated, "I'm not plotting anything. I know it may seem hard to believe, but I don't want to stay married to someone that obviously doesn't have feelings for me. I don't have feelings for you in that way either."

He scoffed, "I hardly doubt that you don't have feelings for me." I probably would've agreed if I weren't stuck in this messy situation because of the original. This is harder than I thought. It's difficult trying to change how he thinks of the original. The original probably already humiliated herself in all sorts of ways to get Yu-Jun to love her.

I decided to let him know my intentions, "I know it's hard to believe, but trust me this once. If you want me to sign the divorce papers right now, I'll do that. I just wanted to be on friendlier terms with you. We don't have to be miserable while being a fake couple." I quoted the words 'fake couple' with my hands.

Yu-Jun probably didn't expect me to say that. He looked surprised by my change in personality. He probably thought that I'd beg to not get a divorce. He thought for a moment and said, "I'll take you up on that offer then. I can be friendly with you just as long as you sign the divorce papers and never step foot into my bedroom. We can go our separate ways once we are divorced."

Was the divorce happening this soon? I was a bit disappointed that it would end so soon, but at least I'll be able to live freely. I can go back to being a singer/superstar. While daydreaming about my future, Yu-Jun had other plans. He said, "We won't be able to divorce until Grandfather approves. We'll have to wait a bit until things are okay with him."

The novel had no backstory about Yu-Jun's grandfather. I had no clue how they ended up being married. Is it because of his family? I wanted to ask him, but it would be suspicious if Seoyoung didn't know anything about his grandfather. I said, "We can wait, but how long will that take?" He calculated how long it would take in his head and responded, "We'll probably have to wait till Grandfather's birthday banquet passes. It's in two weeks, so I think a month from now should be good."

I put my thumbs up, "Sounds good. One month and we can go our separate ways." He kept staring back at me like I was suspicious and there was something wrong with me. I guess that's a normal reaction especially since I did a 180 degree turn from being Seoyoung the ex-wife to being the friendly ex-wife.

I got up and prepared to head over to Seoyoung's bedroom when Yu-Jun abruptly stood in front of me. He asked, "Where are you going? Didn't you say you would sign the papers?" I frowned, "I will sign it, but let me change first." I pointed out my robe and messy hair. He stared at my messy hair in disgust and waved his hand at me as if shooing a fly.

So, this is what it feels like to be an extra in a novel... I turned around and left the room and noticed the room across from him. This must be the original's room. I stepped into the room to find out that the original wasn't a clean person. There were piles of clothing everywhere and it looked like a hurricane went through the room. I had a difficult time finding clean clothes.

I grabbed piles of the clothes and dumped all of it into the laundry basket that looked untouched. Looking at the piles of clothes, I could tell that the original was obsessed with designer clothes and purses. Looking at all the outfits, I could tell that the original liked to dress like the typical innocent sweet cute girl type. I used to dress the same way, but that was only because I didn't have the type of body to pull off wearing anything sexy.

As an idol, my company wanted me to spread the image of being a cute innocent girl. I listened to them and became famous, but in reality, I was jealous of girls that could wear sexy dresses and heels. I loved the elegantly beautiful, but sexy style. Now that I'm in this body, I'll dress the way I want. I can't understand why Seoyoung wanted to dress in the cute style when she was made to wear sexy dresses.

The only thing I could find in Seoyoung's closet was a black dress that perfectly showed off her curves. The dress seemed to be untouched. The tag was still on the dress. After putting on the dress, I fixed my hair into soft waves that fell over her shoulder. I applied the finishing touches on the makeup and she looked stunning. She looked elegant, but sexy.

I searched her dresser and found beautiful jewelry that looked extremely expensive. Seoyoung must be from a rich family. All her clothes were designer and the jewelry she owned looked to be billions of dollars. They were definitely not fake. I put on the shiniest long silver gold earrings and a necklace that shined even brighter. It was a bit flashy, but I wanted to pull off this new look.

When I walked out of the bedroom, Yu-Jun ran into me. He was stunned beyond words. He looked me up and down as if I was acting strange. Seoyoung must've never dressed like this before. Yu-Jun grunted, "Is this another one of your schemes?" I flipped my hair over my shoulder and smiled seductively, "Does a girl need to dress to impress a man? I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I dressed up for myself. No need to be suspicious of me. I just wanted to change up my style." I winked at him and showed off my outfit, "What do you think?"

He rolled his eyes at me and impatiently shoved papers into my face, "Can we sign the divorce papers?" He pointed at the papers in his hand. I didn't even bother reading the paper. I grabbed the pen from his hand and signed on the dotted line on both copies. I smiled at my beautiful signature from my previous life, "Done."

I put the paper down on the table and said, "Now that I'm done signing, I can go now, right? I have to be somewhere." He nodded and said, "Go ahead, but I want to ask you one thing before you leave." I wonder what he will ask me. I patiently waited for him to ask, but he took his time to think about it. He then stated, "Why didn't you read the divorce papers? You signed right away without looking."

I shrugged, "I trust you." He laughed at me, "You shouldn't trust me. Here's your copy." He handed me a copy of the divorce papers. He walked away and completely ignored my existence. I waved at him, but didn't get a response from him. He probably doesn't care about a side character like me. It's to be expected. I'll just have to try hard to be on everyone's good side. I won't end up so miserably if they are on friendly terms with me. I've dealt with a lot of people in the entertainment industry.

Suddenly, I felt suspicious of Yu-Jun's sentence, 'You shouldn't trust me'. I looked at the divorce papers in my hands and read the divorce agreement. My eyes were about to pop out of my skull at this moment. He wasn't going to give me a single penny after the divorce? Where's my dreams of traveling and retiring early? Tears began to form in my eyes thinking about my dreams flying away. I really didn't expect my idol, Yu-Jun would make me suffer like this.
