I’m a Rabbit Bequeathed to the Rival Male Lead

“Hello, Rowan. I’m Lily, the rabbit bequeathed to you.”

For rabbitkin owned by the nobility, their role was to be a companion, a playmate, a confidante, or even a lover. Lily, a rabbitkin owned by the Cavalli family, had just been bequeathed to Rowan Cavalli. He was a promising young general, decorated despite his youth, the sole heir to the Cavalli Marquisate. A handsome young man, known for his aloofness and icy demeanor. And the rival character from the novel ‘The Chronicle of Carne’.

It had been ten years since Lily realized she’d been reborn into the world of her favorite novel. She had a debt to repay to Rowan, and a mission to prevent the tragic future that awaited him and her homeland. But he was a young general, constantly on the battlefield. The only way for the delicate Lily to get close to him was to be bequeathed to him.

“Do as you please. Don’t expect a warm welcome.”

And so, she arrived on the battlefield, beginning an uneasy cohabitation with Rowan, who regarded her as a nuisance…

“Want to do it again?”

“What a pointless question.”

“Did you enjoy it? Would you like to do it again sometime?”

Rowan didn’t even blink at Lily’s teasing, playful smile.

“It’s mutually beneficial.”

“But Rowan, you don’t like me, do you? You used to say you hated meaningless flings with women.”

“That was before I’d been with a woman. A foolish resolution made by a half-formed man.”

He nonchalantly contradicted his previous words as if flipping his hand. Just as casually as if he’d never spoken harshly to her during her sweet seductions, he lifted Lily’s chin with a single finger.

“Do you dislike it?”
