The Male Lead Won't Let Me Be!

Upon waking up, I suddenly realized that I had been reborn into the pages of a novel that I had previously devoured. But there was a problem: I was destined to become the villain's betrothed, and I was uncertain if I could alter my predetermined path. I knew exactly what I desired in a life partner - a tall, wealthy, and handsome man with a high social status who aged gracefully. However, before I could even commence searching for such a person, I ended up saving the life of the young male lead, which disrupted my plans for a comfortable existence. "I apologize, Ariel, but I can't help but gaze at him. He is the most alluring man I have ever laid my eyes on," the protagonist bragged, taking me by surprise. "Did I honestly express such a sentiment?" I stammered. Promptly recognizing his error, he withdrew his marriage proposal, causing me to feel flustered and begging for him to remain.
