I Want to Become the Villain Duke’s Family

I was reincarnated into a book. And not just as anyone—I have the same rare illness as the female lead, and a life that’s running out. In the original story, the villain gets the cure for the heroine, but… I die before the story even begins! So Lowena decides to snap the villain out of his broken, shell-of-a-man state and bring forward the timing so he’ll obtain the cure sooner. “Hello, Duke. I’m from the Townsend Orphanage. My name is Lowena Whitfield, and I’m ten years old.” “…What?” “If you make me part of your family, I’ll run to the entrance to greet you whenever you come home.” “What is this—” “And, well… this is something I’m only offering because I’ve really worked up the courage.” “What now?” “I’ll even give you a goodnight kiss before you go to sleep.” I decided to become the villain’s family.
