I’m a fake bride.... more>>

Diello Argenta’s name engraved on my back indicated that I was his soulmate… but I was a fake.
One day, I possessed the unscrupulous villainess’ body inside an adult novel.

Is there any way I could survive?

…Contract marriage!

I’ll be his wife and act the part to protect his purity until the real one appears. So when the Duke of Argenta awakens his power, he will destroy my villainous family.
While becoming a fake couple with the innocent Diello Argenta, acting sweet day and night…

“If your soulmate appears, it’s time to end the contract.”

Hearing that, Diello, the Duke of Argenta, gave me a long look.

“When a Ferro dies, a new Ferro will be assigned.”

As he grabbed the tip of my chin, the distance between us shortened.

“…I’ll kill them until it’s you.”

What’s with him?

Out of nowhere, he started obsessing over me. Wasn’t he supposed to be a pure and sweet guy?! <<less

“Do you remember, Luize? The moment you interfere with my private life, this marriage is over. You’re the one who accepted that condition.”... more>>

It was about three years of their marriage. One day, when she was tired of her husband, who was constantly cheating on her, her husband told her to bring in a lover.

As he said, she visited the most famous gigolo in the back alley to get him as her lover.

“So, are you going to accept it?

“Yes. Gladly.”

Once removed from his mask, the gigolo has a familiar face.

Why is the Grand Duke here?

* * *

“So, have you thought about it carefully?”

“Yes. As expected, I think it’s right for us to divorce.”

“Even so, it’s only last for a moment. Just wait a moment. I will come and get you back.”

“There’s no need for that.”

“Huh?”

At that moment, the door opened.

“Lady Luize, I came to pick you up.”

Edward whispered in Luize’s ear and looked at Reiad. The moment the two people’s eyes met, Edward curled up the corner of his mouth.

“Take care, Reiad.” <<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…]

The young duke took the contract from her hand.

“So, where should I stamp the seal?”

* * *

“You said you’d divorce me within 10 years.”

The grown-up villain leaned in, hovering his head before he kissed her tenderly over her crown.

“Now that we’re adults, we should sign another contract.” <<less

I am the developer of the reverse harem game , which is about to be released.
One day, when I suddenly lost consciousness and woke up, I possessed the villainous princess [Therese] of the game I made.
I can’t even.... more>>

[Let's start the broadcast.]

What do you mean by a broadcast? This is a setup that isn’t in the game.
A rainbow-haired man in a bright red suit appeared in front of me in the middle of the confusion.

"I'm Ozworld, a channel manager. If you compare it to the world you lived in, it's like a broadcast PD. However, the target is not humans, but the Constellations."

Tak!
A quest popped up when the channel manager fl**ked his finger.

[Quest: See the true ending in hard mode]
*Compensation: End of Broadcast
*Failure: Death

The condition of the true ending is to be connected with one of the four male protagonists.
But Theresa, who I possessed, is the villainess with the worst compatibility with all the male characters and dozens of death routes where she died in their hands!

"I hope you will become a BJ of a big channel."

Will I be able to safely end the broadcast and run away from this game? <<less

I am Kokubu Kento, an eighth grader. While I was sleeping in class, the whole grade was summoned to a different world. According to the... more>> princess who summoned us, we weren’t summoned as heroes. Instead, we were meant to be replacements for dead soldiers. As we were being checked for magic, I got a useless rating, and I was about to get exiled but was given a last chance… I have a bad feeling about it… I wonder if I can go back… a cheat that awakens in desperate situations? The evilest skeletons are my guards? I’m in a different country after leaving the forest? A life without cheats in the world where I was abandoned started. Dungeon? Still haven’t gotten permission. Today I will be working the whole day at the warehouse to carry sweet potatoes, getting 350 helt daily. The guild debt and the living money are… Well, I live in a restaurant so the food is delicious. <<less

I was reincarnated into the world of a novel I’d only read the free chapters.... more>>

Thankfully, the blood flowing in the body of the person I’d possessed was blue.

“The prominence of our family comes from the blessing bestowed upon us by the royal family throughout the generations.”

Maybe this is the price to pay for that. But I got a father who seems overly loyal to the Emperor. And because of that, I was forced to become a Civil Servant.

While everyone else enjoys romance, I’m just spending my days as a Civil Servant. <<less

Lowly shepherdess. Illegitimate daughter. Disgraceful duchess.
Although she had married her beloved Duke Izar, Freesia lived as though she was trapped at the bottom of a bleak, hapless abyss.
Her family took complete advantage of her, and the people of the duchy hated her for being a stain on the household’s honor.... more>>

And then there was her husband, Izar.
Even after she had suffered a miscarriage, he remained cold.

"To be born to parents like us—happiness would forever elude that child."

At Freesia’s funeral, he had shed not a single tear.
But Freesia wished for one last thing.

Please, cry for me.
Shed even a single tear.
Dearly, I hope that your feelings might change.

Even if it means living for just one more year, that’s fine.
Once that time has passed, then.
Come and cry at my funeral.

*

For the first time, Freesia dared to glare at this man.
The dreadful document in her hand fell to the ground.

"How could you do something so cruel to me, to treat me worse than an animal!"

She was mistaken.
She thought, finally, this man held affection for her. That he trusted her.
That, perhaps... it could even be love.
But it was nothing like that. He deceived her.

"You ruined my life."

There were only five months left before her demise. <<less

As part of the imperial family, every move by Chu Yuan in this game of chess is made with apprehension, fearing that with a moment of inattentiveness, the whole match will be lost in a single move.... more>>

Ascending to the throne at eighteen, not half a year passes before civil strife erupts in Yun Nan. Though the thoughts of the old guard at the imperial court are not exactly identical, they are all waiting to see how the new emperor will put an end to this.

Unexpectedly, before this side could make a move, a few thousand miles away, the King of Xi Nan, Duan Bai Yue, had already personally commanded troops to attack in all directions; not half a year had passed when peace was restored.

Sparse moonlight shines into the palace; Chu Yuan stamped the wax seal himself, and had a secret letter sent urgently to Yun Nan 800 miles away — this time, what must we(1) give in exchange?

Brush marks passed through the back of the paper; it almost can be seen, when writing this line, how angry the young emperor was.

Duan Bai Yue spread out a piece of paper unhurriedly, replying with only one word.

You.

Note (1): Chu Yuan is using the royal ‘we’ here.

The world is like a chessboard.... more>>

“I do not want to be treated as a chess piece by the players!”

Defeat in this chess is tantamount to the destruction of my body and I’ll thoroughly disappear! Victory in this chess and I’ll have a very long life!

With the help of an ancient Weiqi piece, Gu Hai arrived at the Divine Province Mainland!

Heavenly Dao is eternal, however life is limited, making heaven and earth pieces of a chessboard, then in the end transformed into a loess, vanishing like faded smoke and scattered clouds. Nevertheless people still jump out of the chessboard, and these people are already prepared for their death while playing chess against the heavens, and perhaps win eternal life for themselves?

I have no time to fall into darkness, though?... more>>

There is a manga called 【Beast Song】, it is set in a modern time where magic and supernatural powers are commonplace. The world is rampant with monsters called beasts, and the humans lived in this world, where their lives are always on the line.

"...Isn't this the older twin brother?"

One day, the young man, Izayoi Jin, realized something.

That he had reincarnated into the character from that manga who's destined to fall into darkness... <<less

"Your Highness, there’s something I’d really like for my birthday."... more>>

"What is it?"

"Will you promise to listen?"

Then the man blatantly laughed.

But who would point out his arrogance – a young Northern Duke who’s not even afraid of the Emperor? He could even get a throne if he wished for it.

But it was just a sweet lover’s birthday wish.

"Alright. I swear."

So, Juliet spoke lightly,

"Please break up with me. I don’t love you anymore."

A fiance just for show. A succession of meaningless nights.

Now is the time to end seven years of unrequited love. <<less

She possessed the woman who was married to the devil.... more>>

You play the role of obsessing over a villain husband.

“I’ll be on your side!”

She decided to be nice to her husband, who has been living in the same house as her for a long time.

But one day when I became an adult and was about to get divorced…..

A bad night has left me with a shabby child.

So I tried to leave before I got caught.

“That Richard? Something’s wrong with–”

“I don’t want to let you go, so die in my arms, Elisha.”

She could not shake him off when she tried to cry and beg with her beautiful face.

“Where are you going to run away with my child?”

You even came after me with such cold eyes?

I don’t think I will be able to run away.

What do I do now? <<less

The moment I was possessed by an R-19 tr*sh novel, I fell from the sky and into the arms of a mad villain, who was known as ‘The Wild Dragon of the West’ and ‘The Deranged Killer of the Desert.’ ​... more>>

Before I could even begin to understand the situation…​

“I’m your bride?”
”You fell from the sky, so you are my bride.”​

Why is this madman calling me his bride and hugging me so tightly?! Why does he keep muttering about the ‘prophecy’ being correct?​

Edwin Crawford received a prophecy that foretold he would only survive if he married a bride who fell from the sky. As a result, I was destined to live as his bride, ‘Angelina.’​

Furthermore…​

“I’m a Jueri?”

​To make matters worse, I’m a descendant of a race of fairies, who were hunted down and killed by the royal family. If I wanted to survive the royal family, I must join hands with Edwin.​

Starting today, I will live my life ‘according to the will of the villain!’​ <<less

“My Euseniel.”... more>>

Tess, who became an adult, called my name in a soft tone. He smiled, narrowing his eyes, and covered my cheeks with his large hands.

There were many things I wanted to say when I met my childhood friend, but in the end it was a s*upid question.

***

The Crown Prince’s only friend, me, Euseniel Hardland.

One day, our family is expelled from the capital for having had a bad influence on the Crown Prince.

Reunited after 14 years, he was very different.

“Why… Why did you change so much?”

Tess tilted his head, and his black hair, which was previously blonde, flew down.

“It’s your taste.”

Red lips drew arcs as if seducing me, and the dark blue eyes slowly loosened.

“Because I like you, my Euseniel.” <<less

After possessing the game's villain, my goal was solely one thing -... more>>

To escape from this cursed game world.

I failed on the first run.

But I resolved once more to escape this world...

"I missed you, Kyle."

Yet the heroines who once loathed me began to plead for my affection. <<less

It all happened so abruptly. After finally grasping my situation, I found myself in an entirely different world. Looking around, I noticed others in the same predicament… Could this possibly be one of those Hero developments?... more>>

Was there a tyrannical Demon Lord needing extermination, or would I be tossed into the maelstrom of war? Whatever it was, I was afraid. I never wanted to be a Hero. I don’t want to harm another…… Ignore the nonsense I was spouting; there was nothing to fret over.

The Demon Lord was slain a thousand years ago, and 800 years had passed since the last war. The nobles didn’t treat us summoned like tr*sh; instead, we were kindly cared for. The Demons have been on good terms with Humans for some time now. Dangers, such as monsters, were being taken care of by the Guild and the Order of Knights. What’s more surprising is the fact that I wasn’t even a hero! Instead, I was unintentionally summoned!

It also turns out that this world was a world in which the three races, the Spirit World’s Magical Races, the Celestial World’s Divine Races, and the Mortal World’s Human Races, are kind neighbors. Here, everyone lives a peaceful and fulfilling life.

In summary, this other world was――at peace.

What’s my plan for the future? For my limited stay here, I will live this world to its fullest; going on a cultural exchange, sightseeing, then, after experiencing the festival that is only held once every ten years, …… I shall safely return home.

However, despite my lust for a peaceful last year before returning, this planet’s heavyweights have begun amassing around me, and…… <<less

Disturbed by this transformation, her parents sent her to a distant relative's territory, which happened to be a land belonging to a combat-focused ethnic group living near a forest infested with magical creatures – it was a village of brawny folks.

She spent ten years there, becoming a respectable member of this warrior society. Around that time, she was told to return to the capital city. 

While she wished to continue her peaceful life in the village, she couldn't because it would inconvenience the grateful Count's family. Life can indeed be quite unpredictable. <<less

When I woke up, I found myself inside a spaceship.... more>>

I guess you guys think I’m talking nonsense here, but I also have absolutely no clue about what exactly happened to me.

I was really close to completely losing it, but fortunately, I managed to notice that this place was really similar to the world featured in a game I was playing recently.

Am I dreaming? Nope, it’s no dream. Maybe I actually got sent to a different world or something?

But didn’t those things usually involve getting sent to a magical world with elves, dwarves, dragons and whatnot?

In any case, I don’t know what caused this, but I guess I’ll just have to suck it up and live properly in this world from now on.

It’ll be okay. I got my trusty spaceship so I can probably make some money. It’ll work out! It has to!

This is the story of a man abruptly thrown into space along with his private spaceship. He runs around with it and saves damsels in distress along the way, flirts with said damsels, earns money as a merc-for-hire and uses his gaming knowledge to work his way into living freely and easily. <<less

"Did you sleep well, wife?"
"How long are you going to try to intimidate me?"
I'm so upset that I can't hold it in.

The Grand Duke who tried to kill me is a little weird?
I just want to get out of this boring novel!
A special survival story of a woman who is not special.

"You should be careful. I wonder what’s wrong, but she’s very angry.”
"W, what are you talking about?”
"Oh, you didn't know. The daughter, who died unfairly because of madam, is aiming for madam."
At my cold words, the laughter of the ladies, who had mocked me and laughed, stopped.
"Oh, was this a secret?”
I smiled as if I didn't know anything.
In a cheerful manner. <<less
