PRINCESS CONVENIENT PLOT DEVICES SC NOVEL (2025)

Stepping into the world of your favorite book might sound like a dream come true, but for Maki Tazawa, this very opportunity presents a unique challenge. A passionate lover of BL novels in her previous life, Maki now gets to spend her days as princess Octavia, and enjoy the company of her favorite fictional couple-her brother, the crown prince Sirius, and his lover Lord Sil. But two men can't produce an heir! As the story goes, in order to solve the problem of succession, princess Octavia agrees to a political marriage and offers up her own child to the throne. But this Octavia can't accept such an unfair fate! So what if she lives in a BL novel? Her OTP achieved true love and she's determined to do the same!

It's time for the junior ball and Princess Octavia is on the hunt for her potential lover! Nothing's ever simple for her, of course. Along the way, she has a run-in with her older brother's partner, Sil and she's still working out the kinks in her relationship with her bodyguard and escort for the ball, Klifford. All Octavia wants to do is find a piece of happiness in this life, not confront memories from the one she left behind!

After coming face-to-face with her most haunting memories and staining her bodyguard Klifford's uniform with tears and snot, Princess Octavia barely has time to collect herself before she's dragged into an anti-royalist plot! Even worse, her brother's lover Sil, who she accompanied to the ball, has gone missing. She'll have to trust her masked potential (fake) boyfriend Rust-a notorious opponent of the crown-to guide them to where Sil is, but what will they find when they reach him?

The night of the junior ball ended with a well-earned victory, and the sun rose on a princess...under house-arrest?! Prince Sirius has Octavia on lockdown for endangering herself and Klifford detained on suspicions of orchestrating Sil's carriage accident. It is Octavia's turn to defend her guard, but can she prove his innocence in time? Danger is around the corner-the antiroyalists aren't done with her yet!

Princess Octavia and Prince Sirius set off on their official survey of the castle town. All the while, they brace for an attack by anti-royalists. In truth, Octavia is doing everything she can think of to create an opportunity for them to strike! She hopes to prove Klifford's loyalty by his response to such threats. Rather than being a nuisance, Octavia's scheming might be exactly what they need. Her efforts reveal hidden agendas, family secrets, and lost memories-with all clues pointing to enemies among those closest to the royals.

The survey of the castle town ended in unexpected betrayal by Sirius' trusted subordinate, Hugh. Octavia didn't really know how to react to the incident, but she had her knight Clifford to console her. With a spring back in her step and the Hugh problem temporarily resolved...the day she introduces her lover to her family is right around the corner! All the candidates were failures, so if anyone is going to fill the role of her fake lover, she only has one option left...
