He pretended to be a powerful tycoon but lost his job and was drowned by the second male lead. And Aurora?

After her family’s powerful corporation collapsed, Isabelle Munro was left with nothing and no one. She hadn’t spoken to her sister Charlotte in years. Then the announcement was made, stating that Charlotte Munro was dead. Her orphaned twins were being sent to Isabelle, along with one final instruction: “You must marry Reign Kraus to understand who killed me. I love you… -Charlotte.” Reign was their family’s enemy. So cold, calculated, and impossible to read. He gave no explanation, simply agreed to the marriage without hesitation. Isabelle didn’t know why she was the one marrying him, or what her sister had been trying to protect. To her surprise, the twins spoke to each other freely when they thought no one could understand. But Isabelle could hear them. And the things they said didn’t make sense. Not yet… One thing became clear: Charlotte's death wasn't accidental. Her killer was free, and Reign Kraus had something to do with it.

[Good news]: She transmigrated into the well-known Phantom of the Opera [Bad news]: It was the horror movie version! After waking up, Bo Li discovered that she had transmigrated to the 19th century. In the 19th century, smog was severe, tuberculosis was prevalent, and sanitary conditions were bleak. It was possible to step into a pile of manure at any moment. To make matters worse, she had transmigrated into a crossdressing circus worker. This was an era where short-haired, pants-wearing women would be harshly judged, so no one doubted her gender. They just thought she was an overly pretty boy. However, as time went on, she would grow taller, and her feminine features would become more obvious. The circus was a mixed crowd. If she didn't leave before adulthood, her crossdressing would be exposed sooner or later. Before leaving, she convinced an abused teenager in the circus to leave with her. She planned on opening a haunted house with him. Author's Note: Bo Li is mentally 6 years older than Eric, but they're physically the same age. Eric is a SERIAL KILLER and extremely possessive of Bo Li. Bo Li will be a little afraid of Erik at the beginning, but she will soon enjoy his behavior. After all, If the male lead's every action doesn't poke at the heroine kinks, then what's the point? One-sentence summary: The male lead is even more yandere than in the original 'Phantom of the Opera'. My Other Works: The Imperial Concubine is the Most Favored in the Harem.
