Second Female Leads' Playbook

Synopsis
In every story, there is a male lead, a female lead and a second male lead. But what about the second female lead?
Be it the unloved queen of a cold and distant king, the plain bodyguard of the forgotten prince, the evil stepsister of the well-loved genius, the servant who died protecting her lady or the defeated villainess. No one cares about their stories.
This is the playbook of all forgotten second female leads.
Volume IV: The Villainess who was defeated by the Gods (completed)
'In every story, there is a villain who has been defeated. What happens to the defeated villain?'
After Lorelei's plot to overthrow the gods failed, she was stripped of her power and voice. She became a mermaid bound to a lake, with her enemy (the god) keeping guard of her.
This is a story between a defeated villainess and her enemy.
Volume III: The evil stepsister who has lived through FIVE lives (completed)
'Please let me rest in peace!'
Odette was once an heiress who had it all, be it money, status or fiance. When her perfect stepsister appeared, she realized she was just a villain in this story.
Odette, being the evil stepsister, was of course killed off halfway through the story. When she opened her eyes again she was reborn, but no matter what she did, she died in the end.
Having experienced burning on a stake, the guillotine, hanging and stabbing to death, all she wanted now was to die normally after a normal life.
Volume II: Body guard of a forgotten prince (completed)
"You're just my tool. Know your place."
It's her duty to follow her master's command. Even at the risk of injuring herself or losing her mind.
It's his right to use her cold-heartedly. Even discarding her when she had become useless.
She was a bird trapped inside a gilded cage, slowly losing her mind in the process.
Volume I: Rebirth of the unloved, forgotten Queen (completed)
"Let's break off our engagement. I don't want to be Queen anymore. You don't like me anyway."
At twenty, Liana died as she watched her country burned to ashes.
When she opened her eyes, she was sixteen again. The first thing she planned to do was breaking off her engagement with Prince Sebastian.
This is her story as a reborn queen.

I started reading this book under a different name at a different site. I'm glad its been reedited and put up here. Sรฉbastien was so devoted , I mean there's nothing like dying together to show who is really for you. Also can't wait for the second and third half. Ariana was such a capable women. I loved how strong she was. I wonder how the ending will be changed if at all for the second book? I hope that the third book is as good as the first and second ones. Love the re-edits.
I love this story. Both the stories so far are beautifully written. This novel has the sort of nostalgic charm of a fairytale. I don't know how to explain it, but it was just wonderful to read. I highly recommend giving it a read!
Ok so I binge read this novel and I'm caught up...and wanting more ^^*. So the novel's world is big and each arc is loosely tied by the environment but I look forward to the characters showing up in each others' storylines. I like the plot so far and the fact that the pace is rather fast. As the novel develops, I'm sure some of my questions will get answered. I can wait in the meantime to see what's next. Thanks Author!
To be honest, the FL not your typical come back reincarnation aka you thought she will be strong but then sheโs actually not. Itโs just that, she confuse with her own heart especially with how her fiance or husband after she come back~ itโs a nice novel and now curious how it will unfold
Well written, endearing characters, very interesting plot. The characters are human, flawed and without exaggeration. Impossible not to get involved in the stories, hoping for a happy ending.
I really enjoyed reading this sofar, Liana and Sebastien were amazing. Odette and Yves were fun to read about, I enjoyed their interaction with each other. Keep up the good work.
i don't give this book enough love. the originality,the plot and the characters. this book is my comfort read! do give this a shot. my most fave is vol 2 and vol 3. i totally adore Arina. keep up the good job author-san
I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by this work. If you like bittersweet romance, this is for you ! The stories all have their own charm and the author has a brilliant way to express the MCs' emotions. The cliches/tropes/classics here are cleverly used. The only drawback I'd have to point out (and mind you, this is only my preference) is that the three MCs we follow are always dependant of the MLs. Let me explain : while I did love the three FLs, all of them were dependant on the strength/powers of the ML to survive/live. And don't get me wrong, I may have a weak spot for strong/OP FLs, but I also love some resilient, thoughtful but a bit passive type of FLs on the side. What I mean is that none of the FLs portrayed here were weak or terrible, they actually were very well fleshed out, but I would love to follow a strong/OP villainess who, for once, would be the one using her abilities to make the story advance, instead of having to depend on the ML's ones. BUT! This is a very minor drawback, and I'm a nitpicky B. so overall, a very good writing, loveable characters and good plotlines ! (On the other hand, if the author were to see this among the sea of reviews, I'd love for the next book to follow a mysterious or strong second FL who would be the one making the ML going crazy/asking himself questions <3) Anyways, keep up the good work !
I loved the way author wrote this story- especially the narrative style. It is definitely different from the revenge stories appears on webnovel. The novel has a good plot and it looks promising. The author is successful in depicting the emotions portrayed by the characters. Even the background world build up looks superb. I am looking forward for reading more. Keep up the good work author, I am rooting for you ๐
The stories are great. I find the characters engaging and developed. The plot is not too long and not too short with suitable developments. The writing very good. I think it conveyed the characters emotions very well. Especially with Lorelei and the God of Order.
I love love love your stories. I've followed you here from the other website that carried your writings. Thank you so much for all of the wonderful stories! They really helped when the first pandemic hit and everything just went to a slow stop. I'm not much of an angst fan but volume 2 (The enforcer and the tyrant of a boss) is really my favourite. I continue to follow along the newer stories hoping I could get a "closure" that there's a happy ending for her somehow. You don't know how HAPPY I was when she left! Uh! The feeling! Hahaha Thank you!
