Synopsis
Shushu reincarnates as a novel side character, becomes a swordswoman and mage to escape bankruptcy and arranged marriage.
Ever since Shuryna "Shushu" West started dreaming of her past life, she resolved to change her fate. In the dark romance novel she had read as Han Yeahn, Shushu was a side character, approached by the obsessive love interests only so they could get closer to the heroine, Hestia "Hess" Flauid. To save her family from bankruptcy and avoid an arranged marriage, when it is time to enroll at the academy at the age of 13, Shushu chooses the most profitable but unusual profession for a girl—swordsmanship. As a side hustle, Shushu works under the pseudonym "Schneeballen" as a crafty mage. Her many interests lead her to cross paths with the male leads, but no matter how much they follow her—undoubtedly to have her play Cupid—Shushu is determined not to play matchmaker and focus on her own happiness instead.
