I'm the one who's been possessed by this novel.... more>>

'I need an utterly shameless fiancée.'

As cliché as it gets, I became the Duke's fiancée... No, I interviewed to become one.
Am I out of my mind? Who interviews to become a fiancée?

* * *

The best output that the Baron family can produce.
I became the contracted fiancée of the Duke Etica, who holds the empire's strongest power and wealth.

If I endure by the side of a man nicknamed the tr*sh Duke for just two years, I'll receive a fortune that is more than enough, even if written across several generations.

"Don't forget. The moment the Duke likes me, you will become my dog."
"You, of all people, should not forget. The moment you show any hostility towards me, even a little, the promised property documents will turn into scraps."

...Thanks to this jerk, it's not easy.

***

Jeffrey Etica was convinced.
This life is entirely his own, and no one else can interfere.
He believed that he wouldn't even let anyone grab the hem of his clothes, let alone a leash.
But why do all decisions keep wavering, and why does he feel this way?

"You won, my Aurora."
"..."
"Now I'm a dog on a leash, forced to lick your feet, my dear."

But does everyone know that? How one of their kind deals with another.
To deal with the tr*sh Duke, the fiancée also needs to be formidable.

"Really? Then bark. Like a dog." <<less

Evelyn Revelbrit is the last descendant of the evil family that brought the Empire to the brink of destruction. A pariah to the people and the number one person on the annual list of those who need to be wiped from the face of the earth, her life is tortured and miserable. But now she has a golden opportunity to change her life.... more>>

"What? The Erelheim estate with the title of Grand Count is up for bid?!"

Evelyn is determined, 'I will take it. I'll take it... even if it kills me!'

But there are certain qualifications for bidding. First, you must come from a family with a title of marquis or higher, or second, you must have been granted judicial power by the Holy See, or third, you must have been honored by the Imperial Family. It's including your family and spouse.

"Then the solution is simple. I will hire a physically fit, unmarried man who meets the above conditions to be my contract husband!"

Could the most despised person in the Empire be able to hire such a husband? Of course not. So I'm offering you the highest salary in the industry, and I'll give you the most generous benefits ever. Once I win the bid, I will grant you a clean divorce and make sure you get your alimony!

At this rate, one or two talented people will apply, right? Our company welcomes talented people with open arms!

But Evelyn was mistaken.
...there are too many applicants. <<less

In an attempt to escape from the Baron family, Diana, the illegitimate child of Baron Laffin, married Erno Larson Penrill, known as a monster that devours his brides.... more>>

Nevertheless, in her husband’s eyes, she would leave him anyway. She was a deceiver, constantly weaving clumsy lies; she was a mere figure in name only.

“Just stay as you are now, wife.”

“Don’t do anything unnecessary; don’t dare to covet my love. Just exist as a mere figure in name.”

Diana needed a place to belong and a name for her to exist alone, away from the Baron family.

She couldn’t bear to let go, even though she knew she was nothing more than a convenient scarecrow and would be rejected by everyone.

However, the moment she obediently let go of her greed to merely exist as her husband wished,

“Please stay as you are,”

“Just as now. Stay like this.”

Erno’s regrets began.

On the night Diana escaped with a child in her womb, Erno made a vow:

The end of this misunderstanding will not be regret, but a reunion. <<less

Grace unknowingly nibbled on her lower lip.
Is he attacking suddenly with his beauty?

"Still, I can’t accept it."

Please, can't you just leave me alone? <<less

Blue eyes, resembling the still spring waters of the deep mountains, stared back at Balt.

"If there's anything I can do to repay you with a woman's body… I'll do it."
"Anything?"

Filled only with confusion and instinctual desire, Balt embraces Claire, a widow and a mother of three.

But that night, he realises that he is her first man.

"Why did you lie to me? Explain yourself immediately."
"Just leave me alone. Because there isn’t anything I want."
"What are you actually afraid of?"

The east wind, carrying the cold air of Atlas, blew through Genevu as spring arrived.

"Am I unable to make you the Marchioness? Or perhaps, I’ll actually make it happen?"

At the beginning of the imminent doom, Lu Mi, who had crossed to a different world, was thrown directly into the abyss rift with hellish difficulty, with only a blank book in his hand——... more>>

[The Book of Solomon’s Keys]

[As long as the target voluntarily writes their name on this book, you can gain knowledge and abilities from the other party]

Looking at the monsters that filled the abyss, Lu Mi slowly revealed an apologetic and polite smile.

After a frenzy of upgrades, Lu Mi was finally able to leave the abyss and return to the outside world.

****

In the year 2277 of the new calendar, countless pitch black cracks appeared in various places, and monsters of all sizes poured out from the abyss behind the cracks.

As a result, the entire world entered an era of tyranny, and countless extraordinary beings emerged, causing the world to fall into madness.

Among the top tier monsters, there is a group that is particularly different – they are all looking for the owner of a book.

[He conquered us in the abyss, and we offered him all our names so that he could summon us at any time and use our abilities, knowledge, and power]

[But then he suddenly disappeared – We need to find him! We should find him! We will definitely find him]

[There is only one throne in the sky, and he is the only person qualified to compete for that position! We are his most loyal supporters]

At this time, Lu Mi was being interviewed for his new job at the newly established Extraordinary Guild——

Interviewer: “What is your opinion on the ‘Dominator of the Four Pillars’ and’ Lord of the Future Abyss’ mentioned by those monsters?

Lu Mi：“……？”

Who is that?

After all the trouble, I finally returned to a comfortable life. My pursuit for the rest of my life is to slack at work and have three insurances and one fund. Who is adding drama to me again! <<less

The male lead, the crown prince who hated everything and everyone, confessed to me.

“I don’t want to go back.”

Ludwig’s blue eyes, which used to be as dry as a desert, wavered like the blue sea.

I want you to stay with me. Don’t go.

Isabel, who had lost her parents, was being pampered by her brothers. She heard that her brother’s friend, Evan, whom she had a crush on for a long time, was getting married.... more>>

Not wanting to let him go, Isabel declared that Evan had been rude to her and needed to be apologized with a kiss…

“Are you done?… I’m ready.”
“Ready for an apology?”
“…Yes”

Isabel answered shyly. She gracefully tilted her head, causing her waist-length, wispy blonde hair to fall forward and cover her immaculate chest.

Evan frowned. He rose from his seat and moved toward her.

“Wh-what? What are you doing?”

As he finally sat down next to her, Isabel became nervous. It was her first time being this close to a man.

“Quiet, I’m going to apologize.”

Isabel then squeezed her eyes shut, anticipating a passionate apology. Her innocent heart fluttered at the thought of being kissed by her longtime crush. <<less

“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

“Artea is my niece.”
“She's also my niece.”... more>>

It is 100% correct to say that you should not have double in-laws. I was just trying to raise my niece.

“Bellona, Marry me.”
"What?"
“Isn’t this the best way for both of us to raise Artea?”

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

“My uncle loved my aunt so much that he asked her to marry him.”
“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

Hestia, the daughter of a fallen nobleman who relies on the Carlton family as her sponsor, is eagerly anticipating the day when she can cast aside everything that is binding her and run away. She thought the time had finally come.... more>>

“Hestia.”

No! Don’t kneel! Don’t propose! And don’t take out that ring box!

“As you might have guessed, I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”

Expected? Sure, I did. But this wasn’t the way. Weren’t we just friends? Didn’t we agree to be friends?

“Will-“

Hestia closed her eyes tightly. As he continued, she could easily anticipate what he was going to say. Will you be my bride? Will you be the mistress of my family? Will you give birth to my heir? It might be one of these three, but you don’t do these with a friend, right?

“No, I won’t marry you!”

“-you become the mage of my territory?”

…What? Hestia slowly opened her eyes and faced his signature foxlike smile.

“Of course, I’m fine with marriage too.”

Her face turned slightly red. Whether it was because she was ashamed of her mistake or because of his answer, she wasn’t sure.

“But, your dream is my dream. So, Hestia,”

Instead of a ring, he held out a standard mage contract and a fountain pen. In front of her was something she had neither seen nor received before.

“Please, become my territory’s mage.”

Her life had not been a happy one so far. When she was at the edge, where she just wanted to let go of everything, he reached out his hand to her.

“Let’s go to Rosehill together.”

She signed the contract and, as a mage, she followed him, the lord…

The contract with the lord was a trap! <<less

Abstinent Doctor x Stunning Star

1. Qin Yi, a rising starlet in the entertainment industry, had been on set for nearly a year when an unexpected accident occurred during the final scene of a film, causing panic among the entire crew.

However, Qin Yi remained calm and composed, impressing even the experienced seasoned director with her unwavering composure.

Inside the bright emergency room of the hospital, the doctor’s face was hidden behind a mask. With a pair of gold-framed glasses resting on his prominent nose, he possessed a naturally appealing appearance. As he inquired about the patient’s condition, Qin Yi, rarely flustered, found herself at a loss for words.

Doctor: “How did you get injured?”

“Slipped and fell immediately!” her manager replied on her behalf.

Shen Xiaoning, with his indifferent gaze, focused on Qin Yi’s face and asked, “Do you need this to be kept confidential?”

Qin Yi: “???”

“If not, I’ll take care of the signature for your family in the consent. Your pants have been cut, so lie down on the bed.”

Qin Yi: “…” His tone was purely professional.

The manager realized belatedly, “Could this be the enigmatic husband you’ve only met twice?”

Qin Yi: “…I’ve actually seen him three times now.”

Qin Yi entered the entertainment industry to pursue someone, but since she failed to capture his heart, she was open to marrying anyone. However, later on, she discovered that what fate had in store for her was the right choice.

Jiang Jue, a top-tier singer, had planned to confess his love to the woman who had pursued him for many years during his concert. However, when the director switched the screens, Qin Yi and another man unexpectedly appeared. From that moment on, news of the hidden marriage of this rising star dominated the headlines.
….

2. Shen Xiaoning agreed to this marriage solely for the sake of an exchange of conditions, allowing him to pursue a career in medicine. Even without the white coat, he could still mingle in the second-generation circle, surrounded by luxury and extravagance.

Among his group of close friends, who knew he had a conditional marriage for freedom, were all waiting for the moment when he would rebel again and file for divorce.

However, they never expected that in their lifetime, they would witness the once unruly Shen Xiaoning, who had originally planned a prenuptial agreement and calculated the date of divorce, transform into a little puppy by Qin Yi’s side.

Qin Yi: “… The scheduled date has arrived. Are we getting a divorce?”

Shen Xiaoning pulled her closer, saying, “Let’s talk.”

Qin Yi: “You… can talk, but can you not be so affectionate…” <<less

There is a common trope in old-fashioned romance novels—where the female lead must have a rough life, be beautiful in appearance, suffer from being forcibly taken by a wealthy man, and run away after being pregnant...... more>>

One morning, Jiang Rao wakes up to find herself unfortunately transmigrated into the novel "The CEO's Beloved", which was once extremely popular. She became the substitute bride who was abused both physically and emotionally by the male lead, and had desperately wanted to escape his clutches. However, the original female lead was delicate and weak, and the greater her heart was, the less action she took!

Before the transmigration, the original female lead said, "Even if you can have my body, you can never have my heart!"
After transmigrating, Jiang Rao smiled indifferently like a Buddha, "With money to spend and a villa to live in, I don't need to worry about anything or wander around aimlessly. I don't plan to run away anymore. It's too tiring and terrifying to follow the original plot. I'll just wait to die and be reincarnated early."

She thought that by deviating from the original plot, the real fiancée would return to take her place perfectly after the one-year contract ends.
One night, she heard a low murmur in her ear, "My sweetheart..."
Jiang Rao, "???" <<less

One day, memories of my past life returned.... more>>

Rather than being angry at my fate of eventually becoming a criminal and dying because of my jealousy towards my rival—the sub-male lead—I was frustrated, knowing I would never be able to defeat him due to the novel features.

I left the academy vowing to start over and never associate with him again, and yet…

‘How can this be? Not only do I work in the same space as him, but I’m his subordinate?! If that wasn’t bad enough, now I’m involved in a love scandal with him?!’

I started looking for a prospective partner to quell the rumors, but…

“He has the fame of being quite a womanizer.”

Taken aback, I looked at the background check he handed me. It wasn’t just once or twice. He had been investigating all of my potential partners.

‘I mean, why are you doing this for me?’

* * *

“Don’t act sweet.”

“Did I do that?”

“You even talk differently!”

‘And—!’ I quickly pointed to the hand holding mine.

“This! Don’t do things like this.”

“If this is acting sweet... then I probably am doing it,” Ashed said, subtly rubbing my hand.

“Shaterian, you should start getting used to me being like this. I’ll do it often—maybe every time—being sweet to you.” <<less

Lu Xici has been in the industry for many years and has a well-known “secret” – she got married at a young age.

She always wears a plain ring on her left ring finger, and whenever asked, she would shyly smile.

Anyone who sees this smile would think that the two of them are deeply in love, and she is very happy. Only she knows how forced that smile is.

Lu Xici originally thought that Jun Youyue didn’t like her.

With a written contract, they have been married for three years, and the total number of words they have spoken to each other does not exceed ten.

Jun Youyue also has a highly publicized scandal partner.

It wasn’t until Lu Xici accidentally saw Jun Youyue’s photo album that she discovered it was full of pictures of herself.

Jun Youyue also has a “secret”.

She has been in a secret marriage for many years, and her wife is her lovely little green plum*.

*elder sister

Who could resist falling in love with that? Well, Jun Youyue couldn’t.

She always thought that her married life was harmonious and their feelings for each other were good.

Until one day, Lu Xici suddenly handed her a divorce agreement without any warning.

Jun Youyue was dumbfounded.

How can you chase your wife if your mouth is too s*upid? Waiting online, very urgent.

Small scene:

In the travel variety show “Honeymoon Again,” the director gave Jun and Lu a few mission cards with questions from netizens.

Question 1: How does Ms. Jun view the rumors about the original state of their relationship?

Jun Youyue innocently: I think our relationship has always been good, right?

Lu Xici snorted: It has indeed always been good.

It was she, as the person involved, who had a blackout after drinking and didn’t know what happened before.

Question 2: Is it true that Actress Lu pursued Ms. Jun for over five years?

Jun Youyue grabbed the microphone: I pursued her.

Question 3: How often do you two…?

Lu Xici: Is it appropriate to ask this??

Jun Youyue: You should ask how many times per day.

Question 4: Do you want children?

Jun Youyue: ?

Lu Xici: This is getting more and more unscrupulous! Director!

She was the youngest daughter of a villainous family and had possessed the body of the villainess of the original novel.... more>>

However…

“Once again, you’ve spent money extravagantly. Well done.”

“Daughter, shall we go shopping with Daddy? I bought another boutique just for you yesterday.”

“Here’s the key to the safe. If you need more, just let me know.”

“Evelyn, I had a top made just for you, so I can give you the very best!”

All I did was spend money, but the villainous family treated me very well.

With a family like that, who cares if I’m a villain or not?

I had thought about cutting ties with the original story because I didn’t want to trigger a love affair for the main characters or get entangled in death flags.

But then…

“The Princess forgot about me, it’s unbelievable.”

“Does the Princess treat love like a joke?”

Whenever I tried to distance myself, the main couple grabbed me.

It couldn’t be helped; the mad are the best at dealing with the mad.

As a last resort, I bought the craziest character in the original story, the sub-male lead and the leader of the underworld.

“Now, 200 gold. Play the role of my fiancé and try to drive them away.”

“That’s easy enough. Agreed.”

And just in case, I added another purse to the offer.

“…I’ll add another condition for 300 gold.”

“What is it?”

“Don’t fall for me.”

With a mischievous grin, Raphael laughed and said,

“Of all people, the Princess should not fall for me!” <<less
