“Do as I say if you value your mother’s life.”... more>>

Erica was the nanny’s daughter and was forced to get married in place of the lady she served. Even the groom-to-be was the prince of the evil Archleiff Dukedom.

‘What if I am hated there, too?’

I’m dead meat if I get caught!

Even if it was frightening, Erica was prepared to put up with all forms of prejudice, mistreatment, and bullying in order to see the day when she would be reunited with her mother. But contrary to her expectation, the life of a fake bride turned out to be sweet, after all…?

“I take back what I said that you should live here like a mouse. Do whatever you want. Do as you like to your heart’s content.”

Erica tries hard not to forget that this marriage was bound to end someday, but it wasn’t easy at all. “Didn’t we agree to divorce once I become an adult?”

“That’s right. And at that time, I didn’t give you an answer.”

Unlike his gentle smile, her husband’s eyes flickered like a wildfire.

“Erica, if you ever have any place to go, shouldn’t it only be next to me?”

Will Erica be able to live the modest life she had always wanted without ever being discovered as a fake bride? <<less

Yan Yan has become the cannon fodder in the novel.... more>>

Young Master Cannon Fodder was lost when he was a child, and when he was found he was covered with scent of red dust (1), his lazy look provoked annoyance. So it didn’t take long for the cannon fodder to be sent to marriage by his family. The marriage partner is the protagonist of the book.

After the marriage, the cannon fodder not only failed to curb it, but became more able to do it. He pestered the protagonist all day acting coquettish, and finally the protagonist gave the cannon fodder a huge sum of money and drove the person out of the house.

After seeing the “end” of the cannon fodder, Yan Yan’s eyes lit up. Behave in a spoiled manner? He is best at it. It is guaranteed that the protagonist will not be able to bear it within three months, and he will be driven out with a huge sum of money.

Because of a favor owed by his father, Ji Juechuan, who has already achieved something at a young age, had to marry the young master of the Yan family who doesn’t love his mother or father.

On the first day of cohabitation before marriage, Ji Juechuan sat on the side of the bed and looked at his mobile phone. His face became even more ugly when he thought that he would be sleeping in a bed with the perfume-scented person. He will make it clear as soon as he arrives, and let the man pay attention to his behavior.

The bathroom door opened, and a soft and refreshing ball rolled into his arms. The young man with wet hair raised his face and smiled sweetly: “Husband, can I sleep with you tonight?”

Ji Juechuan looked at the person in his arms for a long time, and his Adam’s apple moved slightly.

“Yes.”

Later, Yan Yan received a huge sum of money from Ji Juechuan. It was just that the ticket he had prepared was torn to pieces. The man’s hot hands pressed against his waist, his tone dangerous.

“Yanyan, our wedding hasn’t been held yet, where do you want to go?”

Yan Yan:? That’s not what it says in the book!

*Mr Ji at the beginning: #Who is his wife? Anyway, it’s not my wife#

Later: #Do you have a wife yourself? Why do you covet my wife all day? #

*sā jiāo in the title means to act like a spoiled child/ to act coquettishly

“From the moment I took a breath and opened my eyes, I wondered where I was. But then, I was clear on what world I was in after hearing a familiar name.... more>>

I was reborn as the villainess, Frisia Atreille, from a novel I read before I died, called “I’ll Leave it to You.”

To escape from my fate in the novel's plot, I initiated my contract marriage with him three years ago.

A month before our contract marriage breaks off, Aslei was cursed.

“I can endure it. If it becomes unmanageable, I’ll call the magician……!”

“It’s alright.”

After sleeping with him, I felt dejected and melancholy and avoided him. But eventually, Aslei boldly approached me and made a startling admission:

“Frisia. It is my fault and due to my insensibility that I did not confess before we slept together last night.”

Do you really like me? Isn’t that impossible?

After his confession, my heart pounds for no reason, but I can’t believe him because I know the storyline.

‘If Aslei gets better and I remain as the Duchess…….’

Can I do that?

I feared some horrifying conspiracy would unfold, and I would be discarded. <<less

“I’ll fix your dress according to your taste this instant!”

“My request.”

“O-Of course! As per your request, there’s only one piece available in the whole Empire.”

People around me listen to me well even if I just frown and sit still. Since I don’t have to live in difficulty, I decided to just comfortably live on as a villainess.

“Father. Is it necessary for you to solve formulas in this slow and inefficient way?”

I thought it would be good to be a rich villainess, so I used all my knowledge.

“Why don’t you give me the honor of escorting the Princess?”

I have had enough of dealing with my father, so why did an unexpected character suddenly appear? What if this person disrupts my plan? <<less

Although Luo Qingci knew her name resembled that of a protagonist from ancient stories, she never expected to find herself transmigrated into a cultivation novel one day. ... more>>

What made her even more exasperated was that she didn't transmigrate as the female lead, but rather the female lead's cannon fodder master.

This cultivation novel is a typical, strong female lead type story, except the female lead isn't human; she's a dragon. Under the conflict between the humans and dragons, the female lead was tortured by humans in all sort of manners, scummed by the male lead, before turning into a super OP villainous character that destroys the cultivation realm.

As for the female lead's master, Huaizhu-jun, who left behind a single egg after massacring the female lead's family right at the very beginning of the story, then later on uses various methods to torment her naive disciple, ends up with her spiritual roots destroyed, her bones ripped out, and dies without a single body part intact.

When Luo Qingci transmigrated over and found the floor soaked in blood, alongside a pitch-black, extremely ugly egg-shaped object, she immediately turned stone-faced. Is there still time for her to cook this egg now?

Female lead much later: Shizun, aren't you the dragon slaying fiend? How did you overlook me?

Luo Qingci: Your egg was too ugly.

Female lead: Shizun, this humiliated look of yours, I love it a lot.

Luo Qingci: That's too pe*verted.

Female lead: Shizun, I like you. Did you ever like me, even if a little bit?

Luo Qingci: I'm not dumb.

Female lead: ......

Biased and secretly dark disciple vs cold on the outside, hot on the inside shizun.

Alternatively: "When does shizun expose herself" or "Unveiling shizun's secrets with me and shizun". <<less

"Sell yourself to me, Princess. I will buy you for a very high price."... more>>

Sell herself?

Adeline's lips quivered. She couldn’t overlook such insulting words.

"How impudent! Is buying and selling people a norm in this kingdom?"
"Pardon me for being impolite.. When the Duke of Rocher has already put the Princess up for sale, it sounds naive coming from you."

Adeline, a noble Princess descended from two royal bloodlines, and Alexio, a half noble Duke with a commoner mother —a match that seemed impossible.

The whole nation is excited about the marriage of the century that has shaken the kingdom. But little do they know.
That their marriage was riddled with secret deals and contracts.

"I'll give you plenty of time to think about it. It's only natural to go through various verification processes for such a significant transaction..."
"I'll do it."
"...Yes?"
"I agree. To this marriage."

Why did two people who seemed totally mismatched end up joining forces? The real reason behind their marriage, kept under wraps, remained a mystery to everyone. <<less

The worst thing that Shui Ruoshan thinks he ever did?... more>>

– He wrote the story of “The Strongest King in History”.

The unluckiest thing that happened to him?

– He transmigrated into the novel he wrote.

The most depressing thing that happened to him?

– His current character doesn’t exist in the original story.

The most frustrating thing that happened to him?

– His current progress completely overturned the original plot.

Other than that, the most unreasonable thing is that he is actually being sheltered by the villain BOSS.

The YY, the level-ups and the ‘cool text‘ in the story that he wrote, why the hell did it suddenly change ‘flavor’?

It must be because his way of transmigration was not quite right!

He wants a redo!!!

– YY is OP-ness of MC

Upon hearing the news that he had a lover, Agatha finally decided to put an end to their relationship.

“Let’s talk. I have something to say.”

“I told you to relay any messages through the butler. Whatever it is.”

But despite his continued indifference, Agatha decided to leave silently,

leaving behind only the divorce papers.

As Cain looked at the documents on the desk, he paused.

A sudden divorce notification in what he thought was a smooth marriage.

“What is this… Where is Agatha now?”

Cain held the divorce agreement and searched for her in her room, but Agatha Kristin had already disappeared.

Feeling the blood draining from his entire body, he clenched his teeth.

“First, let’s get divorced.”

I tried to start a new life by dumping my husband, who has been treating me like tr*sh, and my family who treated me like dirt.

But.

“Leaving? You will leave me?”

My husband who doesn’t believe me.

“I’m telling you in advance… Just in case… You won’t die and this won’t be our last kiss.”

Satisfied with her non-lonely death, she closed her eyes.

When Iona woke up again, she realized that she had returned to the past and her husband was again chosen to be her partner.

Though her past wasn’t good, one thing she also didn’t want to change was her husband, the only success in her life. If so, she should at least turn this marriage into a ‘successful marriage’, she decided.

Shi Yunnan was sent out of the country by his parents since he was young, and lived like an unloved child, but he still played around wantonly and relied on his appearance to make trouble~... more>>

As a result, he was deceived by his elders into returning home and was informed that he was about to marry the young master of the Luo family.

“What kind of feudalistic ideology is this? It’s outrageous!”

Shi Yunnan packed his luggage that night, planning to escape the next day, but when he fell asleep, he dreamed of a terrible scenario——

He dreamed that his life was just a supporting character in a book. Because he didn’t get along with the protagonist who transmigrated into the book, he eventually ended up in a situation of being forsaken by everyone.

All tragedies began with this willful escape from marriage.

After waking up, Shi Yunnan hadn’t had the time to let everything sink in when he was blocked at the door of his own house——

“Second young master Shi thinks that our Luo family is not worthy of you?”

The man in front of him had a heavenly face, his temperament was abstinent and outstanding. His whole body was wrapped in luxurious outfits. Even those long legs, which relied on wheelchairs, wildly shook second young master Shi’s aesthetic point.

Sigh, I’m a good boy who listens to his parents and matchmakers!

Shi Yunnan pretended to be reserved for three seconds, then nodded like a chicken pecking on rice, “Worthy, of course, you’re worthy! Is the wedding banquet ready? Husband~”

The man stared at his smiling face and answered subtly, “Let’s do it this evening.” <<less

Sirens: a name derived from an ancient creature, used to describe those who could charm, lure, control, and heal others by singing.... more>>

Subjected to live the life of a siren, Aria had experienced, seen, and heard many horrific things. Broken beyond repair, Aria resigned herself to death, when suddenly…

The Grand Duke, Lloyd Cardence Valentine, arrived and whispered, “Should I kill everyone here?”

“If you need me, just call me. Your song will always reach me, wherever you are.”

In the end, Aria called the devil, bringing death to all those present, along with herself.

“Let’s fall down to hell together.”

And with that, Aria breathed her last and died… only to return to her 10-year-old self.

Now that she had a second chance at her life, Aria was determined to change her fate, as well as the cruel fate of her saviour, Grand Duke Valentine.

And so… Aria proposed to him with a marriage contract.

She sold her soul to the devil and vowed to protect him.

[Marry me.] Aria extended her hand and gave him the contract. [Let’s get divorced in 10 years…]

“So, where should I stamp the seal?”

I transmigrated into a novel as the maid of a prince who was trapped inside a tower.... more>>

It was depressing enough to be locked up in that tower, but the situation that I found myself in as soon as I transmigrated was straight up whack.
The original owner of this body, Rosé, threatened the prince and forced him to kiss her!
To make matters worse, Rosé was completely obsessed with the prince, and while trying to monopolize him, she dies a futile death!
We’re right on track to [death via decapitation] as soon as the prince escapes the tower.

So instead, I offered to make a contract with the prince, aptly titled as ‘The Contract for the Life and Death of Rosé Artius’.
No skinship at all! As long as he guarantees that I’ll live until a ripe old age, I will devote my diligence and loyalty to the prince!
But somehow… the prince’s gaze was a bit dangerous. And inside the tower, we were totally alone.

“Rosé, let’s kiss.”

…How did it end up like this?!

* * *

The breath that lingered on my lips disappeared as the stranger moved away.
I stared at the man who kissed me just now.
Under those dark eyebrows were red eyes that were exceedingly cold.
I was instantly bewitched. I couldn’t look away, as if there was an irresistible force coveting my gaze. Because he’s so handsome.

“Rosé, how long do we have to do this?”

I shuddered as the sweet voice whispered next to my ear. Only then did I come to my senses.
I laughed awkwardly to fill the silence. Ahaha, I really don’t know…

“I-I think we can stop now.”

At my words, Albert grinned. It was the forced, soulless smile of a sales team member. Nonetheless, he was still breathtakingly beautiful.

“Then, can I see it now?”
“…Yes.”

He took the wand that I had been holding.
In the novel, the maid Rosé always asked for a kiss from Albert in exchange for letting him see the wand.
In short, at this very moment, I was digging my own grave.
…Damn it. <<less

Suddenly, the contract marriage with my ex-boyfriend began. No way!

“Aaaah, it’s romantic!”

But is it okay to lie to this extent? I did it?

“Wow, dancing with my aunt and uncle is pretty!”
“My aunt and uncle love each other so much, so they say I have to go out with them sometimes to go on dates!”

Thanks to my niece’s help, or rather, interference. Now I sleep in the same bed every day. Is this… right?

“Auntie can’t run away. If she does, my uncle will catch her.”
"Yes. I won’t let you go!”

It is clearly a contract marriage made with divorce in mind, but there is no way out. <<less
