Summary:

⚠️discontinued⚠️

‘Sincerely, and Forevermore, Yours’ is the latest otome game to hit the market. With 5 capture targets-- and another one incoming--, Ryu Gunwoo, a civil servant-hopeful who runs a review blog for otome games, found himself with increasing curiosity as he is begged to play by his adoring followers. Succumbing to peer pressure, and his hand being forced when gifted the game, he decides he might as well enjoy himself. But, when he wakes up after an all-nighter of playing, he finds himself in an unfamiliar body… the body of the female protagonist! Weirdly enough, he seems to be another person other than Ryu Gunwoo thanks to the fourth wall… some stranger named Park Moondae? A double transmigration, seriously? … And, to make matters worse, he has a single year to select a single capture target before he dies! With a permanent migraine, our otome-blogger must find one and only one to love… and to love him.

Notes:

Hello everyone!! This is my first time properly writing a fanfic and committing to it. Have mercy on me from here on out... I'm trying so hard to impress everyone because all of you guys write so well here. Also sorry that this is criminally short :,D Every chapter past this will be longer you only have to deal with this one time lol

Chapter 1: [Prologue] The Beginning of the End

I don’t know what happened. I have no idea where to begin. 

 

I blame peer pressure. Anyone but myself. I am a victim. 

 

I should have never started that damn blog. 

 

It was meant to be a pastime. Something to do to occupy myself between job hunting and civil service exam attempts. It wasn’t ever meant to be serious. I didn’t even accept money for paid reviews. I don’t know why I found myself mindlessly playing and then nit-picking visual novels. Then finding it in me to publish full length thoughts and reviews. I also don’t know why people loved it so much. All I know is that it is their fault I’m here, not mine. I am a victim. 

 

My head was throbbing before I fell asleep. I had my laptop open. I paused the game to write part of a review and I fell asleep. I should have woken up with key prints on my cheek and bad breath from the alcohol. Neck and back hurting from sleeping at a desk and wishing I didn’t have to work when I woke up.

 

How the hell did I get here? 

 

Instead of waking up aching and regretting every choice I’ve ever made, I woke up in a carriage. My hands were folded on my lap, my head against the window. My back didn’t hurt, I didn’t reek of alcohol. 

 

The weirdest part? I was in a dress.

 

I need this to be known: I am a man. I am not a man with a tendency to cross-dress. I have no idea how I got here. But I know where I am, and who I will have to be until I figure out what to do from here.

 

I am in the body of the protagonist from ‘ Sincerely, and Forevermore, Yours ’, a cheesy otome I hardly played, and I will surely hate every second of it.
