“Saint, you must marry me.”... more>>

Klaus Geshturn, God’s adversary who sought more than what was permitted to humans. He proposed to the fallen saint who had become useless, bringing about the decline of the religious order.

“Through this, our Antagon will shed the image of a heretic, and you, Saint, will be free.”

The moment Azniel, who had once rescued a wounded, emaciated boy with jet-black eyes and radiant blond hair a decade ago, saw him in the handsome man before her, there was no way she could resist taking his hand.

A prenuptial agreement filled only with favorable terms for her, a grand mansion, inexhaustible wealth in gold and treasures, and excessive generosity.

‘You will surely become free.’

Azniel believed the boy had returned to keep the long promise

“I asked my wife for nothing from the start.”

Until she faced the husband who never stood by her.

“You truly desire nothing… right?”

Everything the perfect husband offered tightened her throat and drained her dry.

And so, after exhausting her last purpose, Azniel left her husband without hesitation. There was nothing more for him to gain from this marriage, which had been her salvation in the mire.

But why?

“Even if I am repulsive, live by my side and disdain me.”

Why did he desperately seek her out?

“Please, don’t say that I was wrong….”

Kneeling at her feet and sobbing bitterly. <<less

Olivier Dampierre.
Ezon's most famous celebrity, he has it all: looks, money, and family.
A man who has never given his heart to anyone, until one day, he gets into a huge accident.... more>>

"Amélie Gagnier, marry me."

He proposed to a maid, Amélie Gagnier, at a social party at the Countess of Biché.

How did they fall in love?
Would the maid ever achieve the honour of being elevated to the rank of a duchess?

Everyone around them gossiped, but only the two of them knew.
That this whole situation was simply the result of a contractual relationship for their mutual benefit.
It must have been like that.

*

Olivier's lips curved into a slight smile as he watched Amélie.
His gaze met her calm green eyes. There was a subtle heat in those cool, forest-like eyes.

"Amelie, the more I see you, the more fascinating you become."

“...”

"When I first saw you, it was in a dark alley, and the second time, we met in the evening and stayed together until late at night. And now, here we are, spending the night together again."

Amélie quickly lowered her gaze. It felt strange. The nape of her neck grew increasingly warm.

"But it's strange."

"...What is it?"

"Even at night, you shine as bright as daytime."

A sweet, soft voice drifted into her ear. <<less

“I’d rather not marry than lower my eyes!”... more>>

Katya, the notorious villainess from the southern region, declares her opposition to marriage!

The Duke sets up an intense showdown with his daughter, who rejects every suitor that comes her way.

Caught in a crisis of being forced into marriage with the scoundrel Petrozsky, Katya decides to make her escape.

During her escape, she ends up spending an unexpected night with a man she encounters…

He turns out to be the tyrant Grand Duke Nikolai de Vasily.

“At the moment you stood in my way, I couldn’t breathe.”

“Well, then why don’t you visit the asylum, sir?”

“For someone like me, a madman, you need to be at least as crazy to control me.”

“Are you looking for… a bride or a caretaker?”

“With you, I think both are possible.”

In her attempt to avoid one madman, she becomes entangled with an even crazier one!

Is this a choice based on reality?

“If I ask for a divorce, you’ll kill me.”

“What do I have to gain by doing that?”

“I don’t know… A sense of conquest?”

“I’d like you to conquer me a little.”

“Obedient wife, doting mother, that sort of thing, I’ve had enough of that in this life.”

“I like you just the way you are. Does that answer your question?”

Don’t tame the tomboy.

She’s pretty enough the way she is. <<less

I’ve lived my life as everyone wanted me to, the perfect Young Miss. But I was only adopted to fill the vacancy of the real Duke’s daughter. When the real Miss returned, they all turned their backs on me.... more>>

“If I had known this was going to happen, I wouldn’t have let you in.”

I loved them dearly, but to them I was nothing but a substitute for a Young Miss.

“Should I tell you something before dying? Actually, I’m a fake too.”

The Young Miss, who seemed like an angel, was actually a fake. Just like their ‘false love’, which I believed in.

“Can I call you Big Sister from now on?”

I had no choice but to reply with a lie as well.

I swallowed the dry saliva down my throat reflexively at the red eyes looking down at me. I could see the man’s bare chest through his open shirt.

“When did you find out about what I’d dug up?”

“I’m quite sensitive about these things.”

Which means he knew from the start— the sound of me gulping was louder than expected, and I opened my eyes wide in shock.

“Enjoyed the show?”

“No, I didn’t see anything!”

“I already know that you were pretending to be asleep.” <<less

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a wooden box to be sold at auction as a s*ave.... more>>

It was good that the original male lead showed up like a comet and rescued me.

But this man is suddenly asking me to marry him out of nowhere.

“Become my wife and give me the most glamorous show in this empire. If I marry you, no one would dare to think of coming by my side anymore.”

“What about the pay?”

“I’ll give you 10 billion.”

What the F…c….k? Welcome, my dear customer!

I was willing to defeat all of his fans and enjoy the rest of my life as a crazy bit*h in this area-

“I can’t think of my life without you anymore.”

Somehow I won’t be able to keep the male lead who will likely be taken from me.

Will the wicked acts of a villainess bring money, power, honor, or even love? <<less

“Brigid Grimbursty, you’re fired!”... more>>

Mrs. Kat, Brigid’s employer’s wife, yelled, handing her a letter and a small box. Brigid got axed from her tutoring job over adultery accusations.

(There’s proof of s*xual harassment, so let’s seek penalties and charge the wrongdoer!)

Brigid exited the place, bubbling with excitement.

In reality, Brigid is a reincarnated soul. In her past life, she was an overworked elementary school teacher who died in her thirties. She reincarnated as the fallen lady (mob) from a web novel she used to read.

Her favorite character in the novel is a villain from an orphanage. Raised without love, she eventually meets her end at the hands of the story’s main character.

She vows, “I’ll protect Oshi’s life! I won’t let him become a villain!” She struggles to adopt Oshi, but realizes that she can’t do so if she remains unmarried. To secure Oshi’s future, she uses her money and otaku collectibles to support the orphanage.

Brigid loses her tutoring job due to adultery accusations, but the “Impossible Marquis, who never falls in love,” suggests a fake marriage to become his preferred adoptive parent. With no reason to decline, Brigid eagerly agrees to the ruse.

As time passes, she falls in love with him and is even cherished by the Ironclad Marquis, who once insisted he couldn’t love her as a wife.

This is a story that blends childcare and fantasy, using the knowledge of otakus and teachers in a tale of love and family. <<less

After Marriage—... more>>

On Valentine’s Day, Han Jingnian asked, ‘How do you want to spend today?’

Xia Wan’an, nestled under the covers and drowsy, replied, ‘Sleeping.’

On Christmas Day, Han Jingnian asked, ‘How do you want to spend today?’

Xia Wan’an, hugging a pillow absentmindedly, answered, ‘Sleeping.’

On their wedding anniversary, Han Jingnian held a cup of water and asked, ‘How do you want to spend today?’

Xia Wan’an, curled up in bed, lazily opened her eyes and cautiously stared at the water that could potentially splash onto the bed. After contemplating for three seconds, she replied, ‘Being with you… together.’ <<less

Johannes Noavik, who is chasing the first-class bounty of the temple, ‘Blue Ruby’, suddenly got a proposal one day.

“You can have what you want by us sitting next to each other. You can use it even if you don’t trust it.”

“… I’m sorry, but I think I heard it wrong.”

“Actually, if you give birth to my bloodline, you will be freed from your hidden prison and live in peace.”

Diana Pursler La Monte Heimüller.

A princess from the Duchy of Batemann, who appears to be on the run, staying in a convent on the Brecht estate after two marriages and bereavement. She was curious about the Archduke’s eyes.

A woman with misfortune, doesn’t she seem like a good fit for me, who is called a monster? The Archduke’s suggestion flashed into Diana’s mind along with the scandals that followed him.

Leopold Kaiser van Brecht.

Archduke Brecht, the owner of the prosperous West, the Grand Duchy of Lichtal. An undefeated commander who is brave enough to be known by everyone’s name. However, he is a man with a vicious character who weak people fear just by making eye contact. And a man with two or three g**itals. They said that there were plenty of women who entered this man’s bedroom and ended up dying or going mad.

In summary, Archduke Brecht is a pe*vert in bed. But for Diana, returning to the Duchy of Bateman was more tragic. She proudly told the Archduke that he would give him a fertile castle if he divorced after giving birth to an heir. <<less

Just as she received notice of her divorce, she learned about her husband's remarriage.

His new wife was none other than Tilda's stepmother.

"You know, Tilda, I'm remarrying Winston Nockilla," said Aclaire with an innocent expression on her face.

"He said I'm much better than a rigid woman like you. He wanted to divorce so much that I barely stopped him in the past."

That day, Tilda realized.

Aclaire had taken away not only her husband but also her family, honor, and everyone she loved.

Thus, she prayed to the goddess, vowing to dirty her hands.

"I will plunge you into the pits of the void with my own two hands."

━━━━━ ∙ʚ(✧)ɞ∙ ━━━━━

A collaborator for such perilous revenge appeared.

Kales Moyne.

He was a devout priest respected in the empire, yet he was an inscrutable man who always looked at her with a lecherous gaze.

"Even though I'm struggling under those cold eyes, I think it wouldn't be so bad to fall into the abyss if I'm with you."

His words flowed like a chant, but a hint of madness seemed to emanate from him.

With one corner of his mouth raised, Kales asked,

"Do I seem crazy to you?" <<less

The end of my story, which I thought was a happy ending, was ruined.... more>>

“Let’s get divorce, us.”

My husband, who fell in love with a woman other than me, trampled on me miserably.

In front of me who crumbled and chose death,
A devil with sparkling purple eyes, Duke Perial appeared.

“Will you sign a contract with me? I’ll give you anything you want, anything.”
“Who are you?”
“I’m the devil.”

Red lips smiling, he spit out a sweet whisper like the ‘devil’.

“Instead, I’m going to come over the window like this at every certain time to covet your night. That’s the condition of our contract.”

If I could trample the lives of those who made me this way
It’s nothing to sell all my body and soul to the devil.

I became a home tutor teaching the young half-siblings of the male lead.... more>>

The original plot is simple.

It’s a typical contract marriage story where the female lead threatens the duke to avoid an unwanted matchmaking.

The problem here is that the male lead’s weakness is his depraved behavior that led to the extermination of his entire family.

“Tell me, Miss Margaret. What is my intention that caught your attention?”

It’s unfair that I’m a reincarnated extra at best.

What an unfortunate choice of roles, having to give up my head when the lord of the manor takes control of the family.

I suppose running away could solve the problem, but…

“My lord, there is only one thing I want. Don’t kill Cecilia and Cedric.”

As a professional, I should save the children first.

—

“Miss Adriana has told me that she knows I killed my father. And that she will keep it quiet if I marry her.”

Then he asked, in an uneven voice.

“Miss Margaret, shall I go through with this marriage or not?”

“Do it. She will be the love of your life.”

Estella replied meekly.

It wasn’t the answer he’d hoped for, he realized, and his voice turned mu*derous.

“So you’re telling me I’m going to have to share a bed with a blackmailer?”

…It was a refreshing revelation, considering the original. <<less

Seria, a social outcast, has changed.
Seria Stern, the wicked woman who made everyone tremble with fear, was now calm.... more>>

In fact, she wasn’t just changed, she was a completely different person.

The moment she realized that she had possessed the body of the villain Seria, in a romance novel, she had a hunch about the future and decided to live low.

She would avoid kidnapping and harassing the original heroine, hence preventing her death by decapitation at the hands of Kalis, the second male lead.

In order to avoid that, she had to fix her bad relationship with Kalis and even healed his injured arm.

Thanks to that she got engaged with him, so it’s all worked out.
Finally, the original heroine returned, and her husband, Lesche, should be on good terms with her now.

“I've been waiting to escort her, so…”

Lesche asked, resolutely cutting off Kalis' words.

“Miss Seria, it would be better for you to choose. With whom would you want to go with?”

Something was strange.
The original, wasn't it perfectly fine? <<less

When I woke up, I couldn’t recall anything.... more>>

Apparently, I was the ‘Peerless Saint’, and although I had immense power, it was presently sealed. That barely mattered though…

“…My husband is too awesome…!?”

Before I lost my memory, I was a villain who had abused her power as the strongest saint to cause misdeeds. Oswald, a genius magician, said that we were married solely because he was the only one who could kill me. Thus, he was keeping an eye on me.

“Then, if I were to help you, would you date me, Oswald?”

“Hmm, if you truly could, I’ll hold your hand and we can go on a date—I get it, stay back, don’t hug me!!”

I could no longer use my divine power as the saint and everyone around me despised me. Above all, my newly-married husband loathed me…

I’m such a bad wife. For now, let’s keep the fact that I’ve lost my memory a secret.

As compensation for my past evil deeds, I’d like to help my beloved husband as much as possible.

…But I feel like I can still use divine power that should have been sealed for some reason? <<less

The moment she stops breathing, will she hear the devil's whisper?

The devil decided to bring Isabella back three years ago.

In return, he wants her to take the ‘Son of the Demon King’ out of the magic tower.

You told me to take him out. You didn't tell me to give him back?

Isabella offers a contract marriage to the 'Son of the Demon King' for the sake of survival.

"The Duke seems more concerned about his successor than his crazy son."

Kaiden said languidly, untangling the string that was tying up her shirt.

"Should I live up to your expectations from now on?"

Her straight collarbone and a long neckline were revealed through her untangled collar.

For a moment, a calm wave arose in her eyes.

"Do it, then."

"…what?"

"Let's do it."

Her heart rate was slowly speeding up because of the strange feeling of embarrassment or surprise.

"Be my husband instead." <<less

But the reality of a wacky romance world has even patched my family with K-patches.

"I thought I was reborn into a parenting story, but it turned out to be a flop..."

Those darned flop parenting story families.

They're trying to send me to a 40-year-old single father. As if I, who succeeded with my romance novel knowledge, would fall for that?

"Oh, forget about those flop families! Don't they know I won't be pushed around anymore?"

Armed with a secret weapon, I went to the duke who the flop family sees as their enemy.

"Oh heroines of contract marriage novels, lend me your strength!"

Using my experience as a romance novel reader, I proposed a contract marriage, and thankfully, it was well received... Wait, they're being a little too accommodating? Is this the green light?

---

A dry gaze, as if looking at something worthless.

Surely, what was reflected in the duke's crimson eyes was all there was.

"I can't take my eyes off you."

The corners of his mouth rose in a smile that had never been drawn before.

"My bride, will you give me your hand now?" <<less
