One day, a villainess came to the nursery school.... more>>

“Anyway, these kids are just unbearable!”
“Does it even make sense to have a child at this age?”
“What’s so great about constantly chasing after tired little ones all day long…”

Setting aside the dislike for kids…

Since she arrived, for some reason, the kids seem to have started gaining weight.

“It’s all because of the contract, isn’t it?”

She says so…

…as she feeds them homemade snacks. <<less

If one must strive to be loved, then I will give up such trivial pursuit.... more>>

I will no longer try to kill myself.

* * *

Kalia Estelle, the cursed daughter of a count, had spent her entire life trying to be loved.

She had done everything to prove that she was different from her mad father, who killed their people and burned their land.

But all she achieved was the accusation of being the “devil’s daughter.”

The day before she came of age, Kalia made up her mind.

She would no longer seek cheap affection.

She wouldn’t sacrifice her soul for a fleeting love.

And if there was a next life, she wouldn’t seek love again.

As her consciousness faded and her breathing became labored, she suddenly found herself transported back five years to the past.

* * *

“I love you.”

I hesitated and backed away as Claude approached me.

But my back was against the wall, and before I knew it, he was standing right in front of me.

“Kalia.”

He peered through the small gap between his fingers that covered his face, carefully watching my reaction.

Despite his disheveled appearance, he was radiant at the moment.

He kneeled down and gently took my trembling right hand, making me feel as if this had all been a dream.

His lips touched the back of my dry hand.

“Just as you showed me the light and opened a new life for me, I want to do the same for you.”

Beneath his long, thick lashes, his eyes were filled with an unfamiliar emotion.

“You know why I live. Kalia, please let me love you.” <<less

I've transmigrated into my favorite romance novel, which I've read hundreds of times while waiting for its completion.... more>>

Wouldn't it be wonderful if I transmigrated as a noble lady living a comfortable life? Unfortunately, I've transmigrated as the villainess who tormented the heroine mercilessly, ending up dying a horrible death as a fake saint candidate.

So, unlike the original story, I quickly resign as the saint candidate and leave the temple. I then set up a home for a fortune-teller who can predict fate accurately, thanks to my memory of the author's typos. My reputation soars as I impressively predict the future, which was initially just a means to survive.

As a result, the temple that once ignored me, the first prince embroiled in the Throne of Blood War, and the next Ma-topju (the highest-ranking official) consumed by unprecedented narcissism all begin to obsess over me.

To escape the most dangerous part where I'm killed off in the original work, the temple, I must enter into a contract marriage. But who should I marry to make it work?

After much deliberation, embarking on a contract marriage proves to be anything but easy.

How does one navigate a wise married life? <<less

She became an insignificant villainess who was used for cider. She did her best to play the role so that the original story was not twisted.... more>>

“You are nothing to me, Fresa.”

The male lead despises her.

“Why do you hate me so much? Because I’m an insignificant maid?” the original heroine resented her.

“You are the disgrace of the family.”

‘Yes, yes. Everybody’s doing great. Keep hating me. Go on!’

And finally, on the day the original story had its ending, she decided to die. With a false poison, of course. She left her family and tried to live in a secluded countryside by cultivating a herb garden, but she saved the life of a man who had moved into a neighbor’s house. However this man, was the Grand Duke who killed and saved many people with a smile?

“So you saw my naked body . . .”

The subtlety intensified.

“Let’s take it all off this time, shall we? Then it will be easier to look at it.”

The Grand Duke was overly assertive. Moreover, the original male lead, who should enjoy a happy newlywed with the original heroine, has also arrived.

“You’re the one I really love, Fresa.”

Fresa said, almost hitting Rowan in the head with the homie he was holding.

“No, did you just hit your head?”

Even family members who ignored and persecuted her as a disgrace pleaded.

“Come back, Fresa. Everybody’s waiting for you.”

‘Yes, no way I’m going back.’ <<less

I've been reincarnated as the younger sister of the male lead in the brutal sad ending novel, 'The Saintess of the Dawn.'... more>>

The picture-perfect, affectionate older brother, the Crown Prince.
I did everything to protect my brother... but just before the happy ending, he was mu*dered.
And that was by the so-called kind heroine and the gentle sub-male lead!

Furthermore, shamelessly, the two of them accused me of being the mu*derer,
And before I knew it, I had become a notorious villainess, committing crazy deeds out of jealousy between my brother and the supposed heroine.

***

"Give me the princess."

Instead of facing execution, I was sold off to Felosite, the villainous Archduke in the original story, to marry. Infamous for his cruelty, he was the mastermind behind the sad ending that wiped out the protagonists and brought ruin to the Empire.

But why would he want me as his bride?!

A plaything for torture?
A means to form an alliance with the imperial family?
A sacrifice for dark magic?

Or...

"Feel comfortable, Lucian... that's what you can call me."
"Yes?"
"I'll give you everything you want. Just tell me what you desire."

The sight of my husband acting shyly in front of me and showering me with gifts was unbelievably awkward.

That wasn't all.

"Our precious niece! Let's go building shopping together!"
"Dear sister! I brought the delicious strawberry cake you mentioned! Let's eat it together!"
"We don't need that distant grandson! We'd rather have our adorable granddaughter-in-law play with this old man!"

The intimidating villainous in-laws who I thought were, turn out to adore only me, sidelining their own son?!

Um... Excuse me, aren't you villains? Why on earth are you doing this to me?" <<less

In a desperate attempt to save the world, the male protagonist loses his comrades one by one, eventually succumbing to destruction in a bleak fantasy novel.... more>>

I found myself transmigrated into this story as the villainous princess, known for her excessively innocent mind. Obsessed with the male protagonist, I cause chaos and eventually die during a monster attack, tarnishing the reputation of the knight order the protagonist belongs to.

‘Wow, these knights are more like a bunch of mercenaries than a noble order!”

I exclaimed in disbelief, surveying the disheveled knights before me.

“Gentlemen, did you sign a proper employment contract? What about overtime pay? Compensation in case of accidents? Medical support for mental stress and physical injuries?”

“Um… why are you asking this all of a sudden, Princess?”

The male protagonist inquired with a suspicious look.

Well, I can understand why he’s wary of me considering my past obsession, but…

“You should call me ‘Administrative Officer’, not ‘Princess’.”

“Ah, but that’s…”

“Cassia Astrid, I am hereby assigned as the Administrative Officer to the Azure Dawn Knight Order, effective today.”

I flashed a grin at the stunned male protagonist.

“And you can rest assured that I will no longer be obsessed with you.”

The protagonist’s beauty? My obsession? A sweet and bloody romance?

What good are those when the world is on the brink of destruction!

“If you keep this up, I might accidentally send a letter of complaint to His Majesty the Emperor about this matter.”

I caused a scene in the commander’s office, acting like a typical villainess.

“Hey, do you expect our men to wash your socks too? Don’t you have hands? Huh!”

I also confronted the absurd barracks culture.

“Don’t be discouraged, gentlemen. It’s not your fault.”

I diligently looked after the future saviors whose mental state was in tatters.

“Long live the Administrative Officer!”

“You are the goddess who will save our knight order!”

“Our. Bright. Light. Cas.si.a!”

…Why have our knights turned into my fan club?

And…

“Our Administrative Officer will never leave us. Do you understand?”

I was born as a collateral descendant of the Great Namgung Clan and lived my entire life as one of the clan’s warriors.... more>>

My life came to an end the year I turned forty-five, when the Demonic Cult’s rampage sparked the War Between Righteousness and Evil.

But when I opened my eyes, I found myself as the child of an unfamiliar-looking Semu?

“So, you’re begging me to let you use the training grounds again?”

“Yes. Now that I am already five years old, it will be too late if I do not start practicing the sword.”

“Why do you want to learn the sword?”

“I will become a sword master.”

“A sword… ahem. I see… So, our son wishes to become a sword master.”

“Though it might seem like a distant dream at the moment, once my body develops and I am able to control my range, I will be able to use sword aura, at the very least. Please grant me permission.”

“Will you explain to me what… range means, son?”

“It means extending the range of the sword’s attack in relation to one’s opponent as one’s arms and legs grow longer.”

“I see… It seems that our son will easily be able to use sword energy once he grows a little bigger…”

“Yes.”

Just as pine caterpillars eat pine needles and silkworms eat mulberry leaves, a martial artist must wield the sword.

Even in my new world, I resolved to master the sword and become a force of the unrestrained realm—a Grand Sword Master.

“You’re enrolled in Professor Casablanca’s liberal arts world history class, right? I heard the content is the same as last year’s.”

“Yes, that is correct…”

“I put a lot of effort into my notes, so you can just use these.”

Good looks, good lineage, and a gentle temperament.

This child, who’s impeccable in every way, keeps following me around.

Offering notes, lending study rooms, and even buying me food.

His intentions seem dubious.

Could this be a ploy to curry favour with me, the next greatest swordsman under the heavens, in anticipation of becoming the emperor?

But isn’t he acting a little too…,

Echiel, the Grand Wizard Emperor of the Western Empire, who had protected me from threats since I was young, spoke seriously.

“You are my world, princess.”

And he swears that he is willing to sacrifice his life.

“Life? Why?”

I asked, blinking my ice-blue eyes.

“… … “If you die, I die too.”

“die? really?”

“huh.”

‘Because I’m that important of a white tiger?’

As I stared at him, my beautiful eyes were curved like a bow. As Echiel affectionately stroked my head, my whole body tingled and my heart pounded.

“So, don’t leave my side. never.”

Unlike his soft voice, his eyes were persistent, like a chain that bound my body. I swallowed my saliva at the not-bad feeling of restraint.

“Echiel.”

“Yes, Juicy"

“Tell me what I should do.”

The lips kissing the back of his hand were so hot that I was speechless. I, a vicious white tiger, felt like I was being tamed by the hands of Echiel, a mere human. Well, that could happen. <<less

Moreover, he seems to have a clear understanding of my ideal type, right?

“You… d*mn it, what the hell is this?”

“As you can see, my flesh has the power to arouse beastmen.”

“Swear to God right here that you won’t meet another man while you are my mistress.”

“A, alright.”

“No, that’s not right.”

Hadeon grinned as he handed Elysia the veil he was holding.

“Make a formal oath to God. Before my eyes. We just happened to be in a church, after all.”

“M, make an oath?”

The sound of the old pews creaking echoed in the church.

“I, Elysia Pearlman.”

“…I, Elysia Pearlman…”

“Take the man whom God has paired me with, Hadeon Lark, as my unlawful paramour from this day forth.”

“Take the man God has paired… What?”

Before Elysia could protest, a low and powerful voice rang through the empty chapel.

“I, Elysia Pearlman, take the man whom God has paired me with, Hadeon Lark, as my unlawful paramour from this day forth, to unconditionally weep regardless of his mood, in sickness and in health, for richer and for poorer, till death does us apart, and still belong to him even in death, to which I swear before God.” <<less

"What do you mean...?"

"If you want to have me, you have to give yourself too."

I possessed a character in a modern fantasy novel. 

The final mastermind who pretends to be a supporting character and then backstabs the protagonist.

The problem is that I possessed the character before reading the full story.

If it's revealed that I'm not the original owner of this body, I'll be massacred by the family.

I have no choice but to impersonate the mastermind.

But as of today, the mastermind who dreamed of destroying the world is retiring. You guys figure out the brains.

I just want to be a brainless idiot.

I tried to turn over a new leaf like that, but the protagonist keeps looking at me with strange eyes.

What? Is he picking a fight?

[Preview]

"...Why are you doing this? We're meeting for the first time."

"I'm expressing that we should get close since we're getting to know each other for the first time."

"So you suddenly sat next to me...?" 

"You're a bit s*upid. You don't know how to understand words properly."

"...You're not trying to fight but actually want to get close?"

"I'm sorry. I'm a bit clumsy with human relationships."

Wow, I'm about to explode. This guy isn't sorry at all, what bullsh*t is he spouting?!

'You don't even want to get close in the first place!'

I know that just by looking in his eyes! What the hell is he scheming...?!

While I couldn't answer properly because I was going crazy, Logan stepped in to back me up.

"Lord Cassice has no intention of getting close to you. So please go away."

The problem was that because Ryuseong lowered the level of conversation by suddenly talking about getting close or whatnot, no matter what was said, it felt like kindergarteners declaring "I'm not friends with you anymore! Let's end our friendship!"

After setting the stage to make any conversation seem ridiculous, Ryuseong was growling at Logan like a tiger.

"Are you Cassice's nanny? Know your place before butting in."

"...Are you prepared to take responsibility for that verbal abuse?"

Wow. No matter what, it becomes a shitty situation, so I felt strangely calm instead. Then I realized how to escape from the ridiculous farce led by Ryuseong.   

Right, you bastard. Let's go meet the family head.

"Logan, stop. Come here."

"Lord Cassice..."

Logan obediently listened to me. It means he held back his anger when he was about to shout with a red face and stood at attention behind me. I tapped the back of his hand a couple times, then rested my elbow on my crossed knees and placed my chin on my palm. 

In that state, I narrowed my eyes looking up at Ryuseong.

She had done so much to prevent Diane’s misery. Now she can’t stand by and watch her fall into the devil’s maw.

“Don’t worry, Diane.”

“I’ll take care of everything.”

She will. Even if it means she herself marries him instead.

“What on earth would you do that for?”

“I have a heart that won’t let me turn away from a poor person.”

It wasn’t just for Diane. Diane, the protagonist, Nathan, the love of her life, and Lyle and his younger brother. Everyone in “Moon Shadow” was unhappy, each for their own reasons.

“I promise, I’ll be your wife for a year, but I’ll do my best while I’m at it.”
