The shocking news spread that Lady Setina Belbourne, an unknown man's child, had given birth, causing a stir in society. It was the work of her jealous younger sister and stepmother who wanted to take away her fiancé. General Axion Castawyn, the commander-in-chief of the imperial army, proposed to marry Setina, who had been jilted.

"I need a child, but using a real one would be pitiful, so a fictional one would be perfect."

He is the ruler of people, who with his mere presence, captures people's attention and even scares away beasts. Axion Castawyn smiled quietly like darkness. Setina decided to marry him for revenge, but the chillingly cold duke seemed strange.

"So from now on, we should be passionate lovers. A couple so in love that a baby could be conceived before we even enter the wedding hall."

Isn't it too intimate for a contractual marriage?

"My wife belongs to me. She has always been mine. I have no intention of forgiving those who have insulted my wife."

Are you more aggressive than me in seeking revenge? Is this really okay? <<less

“Vicious Female Supporting Character in a Vintage Romance Novel featuring Domineering CEO Awakens + After Awakening, Female Supporting Character is Still Vicious + Everyone Ends up in the Crematorium”... more>>

… …

Amidst the clamor of the crowd, which sounded like a pot boiling over, various familiar voices gave Gou An a splitting headache. She lifted her hand, intending to cover her ears.

However, at the forefront of the crowd, there was always someone who remained silent.

The tall, immaculately dressed man looked down on everyone like a god, with icy eyes that could freeze one to the bone.

He didn’t seem to notice Gou An’s wrists, which were red and raw from being handcuffed, but instead raised his chin in her direction and spoke calmly and indifferently to the police behind him: “What are you waiting for? Take her away.”

… …

One night, after a week of sleepless nights following the loss of her beloved cat, Gou An suddenly realized that she might be the supporting character in a domineering CEO romance novel.

As the darling daughter of Gou Yu, the wealthy hotel industry magnate in Jiangcheng, and with a marriage alliance with the He family, Miss Gou was the most dazzling figure in Jiangcheng’s high society.

However, instead of enjoying her privileged life, she bullied and oppressed the female lead, Lu Wan, who lived in the lower city.

– She impersonated the female lead and became the fake White Moonlight who had saved the second male lead.

– She bullied the female lead, who was working temporarily at a banquet, and poured red wine over her head.

– She stole the female lead’s position as the top scorer in the exam and the opportunity to give the freshman welcome speech just for fun.

– She made the female lead wear a swim ring and stay in the pool for half an hour during winter.

– She snatched the female lead’s part-time job for fun.

– She coveted the female lead’s ambiguous relationship with a potential young male love interest.

– She threw a tantrum.

– She treated people like dirt.

… …

Gou An had done or was planning to do everything on the list.

The powerful young uncle, her cold and distant fiancé, her brother who treated her like an enemy, her loyal bodyguard who pretended to be faithful, they would all become the foundation for the female lead’s success.

… …

Gou An looked up at the clock. It was now 8:30 in the evening.

In fifteen minutes, her fiancé He Ran, who had just found out that she was the fake White Moonlight who saved his life, would knock on her door and hand her a freshly written and still warm agreement to break off their engagement.

At this point, the most powerful support behind her, other than her parents, would have collapsed.

Gou An: “…”

Oh my god, somebody save me.

***

Author’s Notes:

As an awakened supporting character, Gou An accidentally obtained a system that allowed her to see her favorability level with the male leads and other key characters.

– Useless trivia: HE. The original plot line for the male lead and the original female lead (the current supporting actress) did not involve any accidents (note the order).

– Everyone ends up in the crematorium, but the extent of their cremation varies.

– The old school romance genre is the original plot line, meaning that it is full of melodrama and absurdity. Therefore, the logic and settings are also absurd, and unreasonable and exaggerated plot twists should not be taken literally. Comments that are too extreme or intended to start a fight will be deleted.

– The author’s hidden spirit has flown away, please don’t take it too seriously.

– The author’s side project (skiing, riding motorcycles, occasionally updating small extras to prove that they are still alive): Rabbit Ji must have long ears. <<less

Everything was sailing smoothly for Dyngir, when a life-changing event occurred:... more>>

"Dyngir Maxwell! I hereby declare your engagement to Selena void!!"

Dyngir believed the relationship with his fiancee to be idyllic, but she was actually having an affair with crown prince Sullivan. The moronic prince even dared slander the good name of the Maxwell house…

If this is your game, then I'm going to play too. You picked a fight with the wrong person!

The series of events starting from the cancellation of an engagement eventually turned into a historic event that would shake the kingdom to its core and involve the neighboring countries too!! A heroic tale of scum versus scum, starting from a cancelled engagement! <<less

“A useless thing like you has no value in our family. Take this money and leave immediately!”... more>>

“Yes! Goodbye!”

She became the incompetent villainess who commits wrongdoings in order to earn the love of her fiance, the male lead.

Her reputation was already at rock bottom and the main characters, who can’t live without each other, are having an affair.

“Getting kicked out and receiving money is good enough!”

So after she was kicked out, she set up a stationery store in front of a school. She reminisces of snacks, beer candy, and even bubbles! Just you wait, kids!

But… somehow her young customers are a little weird?

“I’ll find you a handsome and modest man, and not someone who has an affair like my brother!”

“Ha, then what about my brother, the crown prince?”

“…the tower master is the best.”

The great magic swordsman, the next crown prince, the villainous tower master, and finally, the hidden villain.

The stationery store, which she thought would be peaceful, left her with no rest.

Before the wedding, her fiancé had an affair.... more>>

So she got a new fiancé to break up…

But there is a little problem.

[You said he was a killer?]

[There’s a rumor that he’s a wreck.]

[Some people fainted because they were scared during the conversation.]

Lilia stared at her new fiancé, who was carrying all kinds of bad rumors.

Karhan, holding a little puppy in his arms, lowered his eyes as if he were about to be scolded.

“Lilia…. I took this puppy because it was raining outside.”

…..Is this engagement okay?

***

She was walking to the Orgel store she bought last time. Lilia was surprised to see the incredibly long line.

“What……?”

Something new came out?

Was it not that, or was the product released by a limited sale?

Lilia walked slowly along the line like salmon against the river.

It turned out that the origin of the string was Lilia’s Orgel shop.

‘How long ago was it so quiet?’

Embarrassed, Lilia looked around and grabbed a man and asked, “Can you tell me why everyone is in line?”

Then the young man kindly explained.

“This time, a popular actor placed a ring in a music box and proposed a marriage. After the rumors, the music box became a necessity for the proposal.”

Unbelievable.

She hit the jackpot again. <<less

Heroine: He turned into the devil to save me?

“Why, you won’t listen to my explanation? Being wronged by you is like a sword piercing my heart, it’s so cold and painful.”

Heroine: What, he was wronged?

The heroine cried her heart out: No-!!!

Luo Qi learned that her fiancé was cheating emotionally before receiving their marriage certificate, so she broke up with him decisively and called off the wedding.... more>>

Her now ex-fiancé was a rising star in the capital venture circle. In the eyes of her relatives, it’s impossible for her to find another man with better conditions than her ex-fiancé at her age. Even her fiancé felt the same way.

That night, Jiang Shenghe, the big boss of the Yuanwei group, suddenly asked her, “Luo Qi, do you want to try with me?”

Luo Qi looked at Jiang Shenghe in astonishment, tongue-tied.

The third son of the Jiang family stood at the top of the elite circle. She was completely different from him, and his so-called trying was nothing more than a whim to play tricks with her. She can’t afford it.

Luo Qi was thinking of finding a reason to reject him. Jiang Shenghe looked at her, and said again: “It’s not a whim, I’ve had you in my thoughts for seven years.”

This year was the seventh year she has been in his heart.

Luo Qi didn’t expect that when she was twenty-nine years old, she went crazy once, hiding the truth from everyone, and obtained a flash marriage certificate with her boss. He said: “The person you want to marry may not be me, but the person I want to marry has always been you . <<less

Originally, she was destined to die entangled in his rampage. To survive, she should have avoided getting involved with him, but on the other hand, she also wanted to prevent his tragedy.

She only wanted to teach him that he was not the only one cursed, but what he learned from her was not just that.

“It’s hot and silent. I wonder what the teacher looks like?”

She read the longing contained in his fingers. And just like all the other female leads, Carol failed to train him.

“…You’ve got the wrong person.”

“Got it wrong?”

The breath digging into her earlobe was hot.

“Remembering the moment I touched the teacher’s cheek, I thought about it every night.”

The voice, soaked in heat and cracked, bound her.

Today, I am a substitute for your fiancee. Tomorrow, I’ll become your sister-in-law!... more>>

Mu Mingtang is the substitute of the male lead’s first love. After she lost her family, she was adopted by the Jiang family and eventually became engaged to the male lead, the Prince of Jin.

Understanding very well that she was only a substitute, she removed her claws and fangs and turned herself into an imitation of the Prince of Jin’s first love. She couldn’t speak or laugh as she wished, she was prepared to live in the shadow of another woman for her entire life… until one day, the real Miss Jiang returned.

The real Miss Jiang was reborn. When she learned that she was the male lead’s first love, she immediately returned to fight for her engagement and identity.

In order to please his first love, the Prince of Jin gave the substitute to the Prince of Qiyang, who had become a dying madman. She was just a low-quality fake, anyway. If she dared to anger his first love, he would turn her into a childless and powerless widow for the rest of her life.

Mu Mingtang, the target of their mockery, finally snapped: Okay, since you gave me to another man, I’ll make you bow and call me sister-in-law!

However, none of them expected the Prince of Qiyang, the God of War, to actually wake up!

Xie Xuanchen is the son of the late emperor. The whole world once trembled beneath his feet, but one day, for a reason unknown to even Xie Xuanchen himself, his nature suddenly changed. He became cruel and bloodthirsty, leaving his father with no choice but to pass the throne to his uncle.

Eventually, Xie Xuanchen was unable to resist the illness and fell into a coma.

When he woke up again, there was a beauty standing before his bed, looking at him in surprise. Then, for the sake of his domineering little princess, he revived his name as the God of War, reclaimed the throne, and united the world.

“I didn’t cheat on you with your fiancé; it was fate, do you understand?”... more>>

The heroine eloped with my fiancé.

On the day of our engagement.

After a moment of disbelief, the male lead came to me.

“The lady I picked out for the contract marriage ran off with her friend’s fiancé.”

“Goodness, there’s a lady just like me.”

“So I’m thinking of proposing a contract marriage to that friend.”

The eyes beneath the bushy eyebrows gleamed sharply.

“Will you marry me, milady?”

… It seems to be me.

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

Since my fiancé ran away anyway, there wasn’t much choice; I entered the wedding hall with the male lead.

I agreed to the contract with the intention of running away if necessary.

“I’ll try to make you a precious person to everyone.”

His fingertips, which descended to my earlobe, lightly brushed my tiny earring.

Shivers ran down my spine.

“The earring suits you very well.”

The earring had a purple gem that matched his eye color.

Something seems wrong with this contract marriage after all. <<less

【The Most Incompetent In This World】―it was the gift Kai Heineman received from the Divine Oracle when he was thirteen years old.... more>>

Due to that gift, his physical abilities plummeted. His growth rate became the lowest in the world. Yes, the gift was supposed to make him a target of everyone’s mockery and pity. However, this gift had something that no other gift had, limitless growth.

Moreover, by chains of unfortunate coincidence, Kai Heineman ended up being trapped in the worst, nightmarish dungeon. The dungeon disconnected him from the passage of time in the outside world. This allowed him to train for a really long time while just a moment passed in the outside world, without ageing even a single day.

This chain of misfortunate events led to the birth of the most powerful supreme being in the world.

This is the tale of the loner, whose common sense got so distorted after he spent too much time talking with his own sword that he brought out the subordinates he had subjugated in the dungeon to wreak havoc in the outside world. <<less

"My feelings will never change, Angelica. I'll bless both of you, so you can find happiness forever."... more>>

A confession from a secondary male lead that wasn't in the original novel. Rahil, who became emperor, vowed eternal love to the original female lead just before she went to the altar.

Now as the emperor, he needed to have an empress. But he wanted someone who wouldn’t torment his beloved Angelica. The perfect person for that role was Anais Ruol.

A woman who, despite her vow of eternity, dared to look down on the emperor with contempt. Indifferent to his love and clever enough not to hurt Angelica. A woman cold to love, cynical about it.

"There's no one else but you. Someone who can stay by my side without wavering, who can play the role of a wise empress..."
"Let's draft a contract. But before that... allow me just one slap."

For Angelica, for the nation, his feelings towards Anais leaned more towards denial. Yet, strangely, every time he was with her, Rahil felt an unfamiliar and unbelievable flutter in his heart.

"You can't... can't kiss me!"
"Why?"
"Because my first kiss will be with another man!"

On their wedding night, Rahil was both shocked and betrayed by Anais's explosive statement. But at the same time, he became even more determined.

"I'll make sure you, Anais, will be the first to kiss me." <<less

I reincarnated into a novel.... more>>

My role here has quite the extravagant modifiers.

Disgrace of the nine families. House Chantra’s sickly burden. Dreary poisonous witch. Completely hopeless degenerate…

“The family’s problem child? It’s really me?”

After realizing that I reincarnated, I was so confused because of the memory loss and sudden change in personality.

More than that, I’m also destined to die soon. See, this is a BL novel, and apparently I’m the fiancée of the main character.

And so began the attempt to beguile the world’s top predator who would save me, no questions asked.

“Oh my, are you alone now? My fiancé.”
“How greedy! Please, stop taking my heart with you—my heart!”

But what’s this. For some reason, the attempt at beguiling was working frighteningly well…?

“Just as you asked, I took care of everything. But why are you leaving. I did everything you told me to.”

What should I do?

I think I chose the wrong rope as a lifeline. <<less
