“Please, can’t you trust me just once?”... more>>

When I pleaded, my husband didn’t listen to me. I understood him. After all, I was the daughter of his family’s enemy. Our marriage must have felt like a curse to him.

Even when I was sent to the enemy’s camp instead of his childhood friend, I tried to understand him. And then I realized: once love ends, there’s no need to understand him anymore.

The first love ended, leaving scars from the whip.

The hopes ended.

The painfully foolish time of hurting alone ended too.

Though I hadn’t expected that his coldness would end with it.

“Iella. I know this is far too late to say.”

When my husband knelt before me, I realized why he could be so cold.

“Please, just once, grant me the chance to make amends.”

When you don’t love someone anymore, no matter how miserable they become, it doesn’t matter.

When I realized not even a spark of love remained—

“Iella, let’s go back home.”

The brother who had treated me as an enemy came looking for me.

“Your brother is waiting for you.”

With the words that a family who treated me worse than strangers was waiting for me.

But I was already so tired. <<less

While desperately scheming to graduate, Yul found someone who caught her eye.

“Can I… stay by your side for a while?”

She instinctively reached out to Kang Yoonjo, the subject of ominous rumors, sensing that being near him was the safest place to be.

“They scare you, but I don’t?”

She remembers the sharp gleam in his drowsy eyes, even the mockery dripping from his rough, gravelly voice.

“If you want it that badly, stay. Stay by my side.”

Perhaps he understood her desperate struggle, because he granted her a chance. But the moment she realized it was a mistake, she ran—before she understood just how persistent and unrelenting he could be.

“Long time no see, huh?”

Kang Yoonjo reappeared, standing in a place that didn’t suit him—right where she had desperately wanted to be.

Thus began the long, tangled, and relentless saga between them. <<less

“Please, become Atalante Blanc.”... more>>

Being proposed by the man she was supposed to kill, in a nutshell, it s**ked.

Atalante went against her foster father’s last words to be a good child, and became the boss of the underground organisation.

She received a request from the Emperor to assassinate the tyrant, Grand Duke Lionel Blanc.

Of course, there was also a suggestion to bewitch him.

‘As long as I finish this, I can wash my hands off from the underground.’

After assassinating the Grand Duke, she dreamt of halting all villainous acts and living peacefully with her group’s members, but what was this?

“What’s your name?”

As the Grand Duke asked for his assassin’s name, he was blushing. His eyes, definitely… they were ones of someone that had fallen in love.

Love potion. Because of that absurd drug, Atalante had stolen the heart that she wanted to cease.

As Atalante was half-forcibly ascended to Grand Duchess’s position, she made a resolution.

Since the situation was like that, she’ll reap a substantial profit before divorcing him, just like the part of a villain. However…

“I don’t have any intention of letting go of someone that’s mine.”

“What?”

“In this world, I only have one person, and that is my wife, you.”

It seems that it would be a little difficult to actualize her resolution. <<less

Melissa, an omega and an illegitimate child of the Rosewood County.

Her only family and the only one who was ever on her side—her mother—had passed away.

“…This is not the Count’s funeral hall.”

“I couldn’t be certain because your pheromones were too light, but it’s true. You’re an omega.”

At that point in her life, Melissa was about to become the wife of an old marquis. It was a sacrifice she had to make for the sake of her family.

However, Ian appeared in front of her and gave one final choice that she could make.

“The contract’s main stipulation is very simple. Give birth to an alpha who will become the household’s successor.”

The contract marriage that began as such was like a sweet, sweet melody.

Knowing that one’s life was about to be devoured, but nonetheless addicted to that sweetness—unable to escape. <<less

On the day of extinction, she saved the world and was burned to death.... more>>

When she woke up again, she had returned to her childhood just before she was chosen to be the saint.

“I’m sorry. I’ll die when the time comes, so I’ll live happily, my own way this time.”

The paladin who committed su*cide following the saint,

The priest who defiled his hands for the saint,

The tyrant who went crazy because of the saint and started a war.

This time, she will break off her relationships with them and live as an ordinary person, not a saint.

But why…

“You look so pathetic that it’s impossible to let it slide.”

Why are they surrounding me, not the current saint? <<less

An engagement formed through a promise between our grandfathers. After ten years, I finally decided to bring this relationship to an end.... more>>

But then.

“Marriage, you say?”

“Calling off the engagement?”

The fiancé who hadn’t shown even the slightest bit of interest in me all this time is suddenly talking about marriage.

What kind of nonsense is marriage supposed to be? Right now, all I’m thinking about is going to see my new love—Han Haeyoon, the leader of the Korean idol group VENUS.

Just in time, an opportunity has come up: if I can gather the fee for dimensional travel, I can go to Korea.

To earn the money, I snuck into the Imperial Palace under a false identity—and of all people, I got completely caught by Crown Prince Kairus.

“If I can help you break off your engagement, will you help me too?”

He said if I just held his hand, he’d help me completely end my stagnant engagement. I accepted his offer without hesitation.

I wanted to quickly save up and head to Korea. But this man—his ability to worm his way into someone’s heart is no joke.

“I don’t want to lose someone precious ever again.”

Now Kairus, who’s become so deeply entangled with me that I can’t easily shake him off, keeps shaking my firm resolve to leave.

“Isabella. Please, just give me one more chance.”

Even Icanuel, with a face stained with belated regret and pain, is trying to hold onto me.

No, seriously, what’s wrong with everyone? I said I’m going to see my favorite idol! <<less

Anastasia, who has lived her entire life as a modest and exemplary princess.... more>>

On her wedding day, she witnesses the shocking affair between her husband and a maid.

Despite this, as a fallen princess, she pushes through with the marriage to support her impoverished family, and ends up living under the same roof with her husband, mother-in-law, and the maid.

Just as she forces herself to accept her situation, she suddenly contracts an illness that shrinks her body to the size of a thumb.

Struggling with this unpredictable shrinking illness, her married life becomes even more miserable. Then one day, three years later, her first love appears.

“Milady really went and married a b*stard, huh.”

Once a poor servant, he returns as a tycoon who surpasses even her husband… <<less

Why—... more>>

“Aren’t you going to tell me I’m pretty today?”

How did he go from a pure and reserved man to a bold, straightforward seducer?!

***

“Pretend to be the young lady and maintain the engagement for just three months.”

I got thrown into an R-rated reverse harem novel and possessed a side character, only to watch the female lead die right in front of me. To make matters worse, her family demanded that a commoner like me impersonate a noble lady.

I was ready to refuse without a second thought, but—

“Once the contract is completed, you’ll be paid five million Mint in full.”

It was enough money to live comfortably for the rest of my life. My debt-ridden commoner’s body reacted faster than my mind.

…Deal!

***

It was supposed to be just a small whim. I thought I’d help my pitiful fiancé open his eyes a little before I left.

But why on earth—

“Aren’t you going to tell me I’m pretty today?”

The reserved, innocent man I knew had turned into a bold, straightforward seducer!

“Your Highness, you’re not supposed to be like this!”

“I’m trying to make you fall in love with me, Cynthia.”

The violet eyes that had always been hidden beneath his eyelids now gleamed darkly.

“So hurry up and fall for me, Cynthia.” <<less

The two still have no children.

“You are under pressure every day to have an heir. My wife must have gone out and met another b*stard, yes?”

“You are misunderstood. Prince.”

“Stop it! Tehez.”

Disdainful eyes.

I mean, we were never good enough, right? Wasn’t it a relationship that burned to ashes?

Liberata Bernadette, possessed as the villain of the novel ‘Leonie in the Blues’.

The evil woman’s possession is not enough, so she even returns when she dies.

As usual, she was executed on the gallows, and it is already the twentieth time to go back to the day Leonie, the main character, and the Archduke first met!

But is this life different?

I was just drunk with the mindset of being what I was supposed to be.

Why is the Grand Duke lying next to me?

Grand Duke of Mouton, Gerlac Cygnus.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let you die.”

New characters that did not exist until the last life also appeared.

Handsome brother’s friend, Adrian Watford.

“It seems like just yesterday when Libe said she would marry me, and she used to swear.”

It had been a year since I possessed this body, and I finally discovered the identity of the original character.... more>>

But… I was revealed to be Evelyn, a handmaid who would help the runaway of the future imperial princess, Caesar.

My only way to survive was to control Prince Caesar’s rampage and raise him to the throne.

“I have to find Your Highness’s guide. Contacting a guide will allow you to awaken your abilities without going into a rampage.”

In an attempt to survive a little longer, I set out to find his guide… only to discover that I was the one and only guide?

Moreover,

“I have no reason to dislike Your Majesty.”

“Then that’s good, isn’t it?”

“…Huhh?”

“If you don’t dislike it, then it’s good.”

As I was gradually preparing to leave the palace, the newly crowned Emperor looked at me with sparkling eyes.

He held both of my hands tightly, as if he had no intention of letting go.

I had only awakened him, so why was he following me around like a drenched puppy?

And why wasn’t the rampage stopping?

***

“It’s about time for me to vomit blood, isn’t it?”

“Why would you say I’m going to vomit blood in front of me? Why?”

Unbeknownst to him, I was eavesdropping when Caesar gazed lazily and whispered.

“I need to go on a rampage… so that Evelyn won’t leave me.”

At that moment, the door I had been waiting for opened, and our eyes met.

His sky-blue irises were stained with bewilderment. <<less

The male lead, who was called madman due to his severe insomnia, was destined to be saved by the female lead, the saint.

Since this had nothing to do with me, I was just planning to live by publishing a book.

But, the male lead suddenly appeared before me.

Of all things, holding the book that I had published with him as the subject.

Making all the excuses, I even read the book to prove my innocence.

“Don’t tell me you’re falling asleep… Huh?”

The male lead fell asleep.

* * *

“I’m not the one who saves you, Cain.”

“…That mouth.”

“You’ll meet a woman who’s much more benevolent and kinder than me, and she’ll save you…!”

“Shut up, Lia.”

The corners of his lips, which had been moving leisurely, twisted and rose.

“Okay, then let’s do this. The moment I leave this room, I’ll kill the woman you said is more benevolent and kinder than you.”

“…What, what did you say?”

“Bring as many people as you want.”

“….”

“Because there’s no one like you in this world.”

I was astonished to hear the male lead say that he would kill the heroine of the novel with his own mouth.

“You’ll be the one who will save me, Lia.”

Unfortunately, after getting engaged to the crown prince, I became the pitiful villainess noblewoman who meets a miserable end.

To survive, I decided to twist the original story.

First, I had to stop my duke father from going to ask for my engagement to the crown prince.

“I’ve fallen in love with the Northern Duke!”

But then...

“A marriage contract with the Northern Duke has arrived, my dear Liri!”

Just a few days later, my crazy father returned not with a crown prince engagement—but with a contract tying me to the Northern Duke.

And he even brought the real-life version of the Northern Duke with him.

Come on, Father…

***

The bigger problem is…

The original male lead, the Northern Duke, has started seducing me earnestly.

“Do you know how much your eyes stir my heart?”

With a sweet tone I’ve never heard and a gentle expression I’ve never seen, he’s clearly trying to charm me.

But afraid I couldn’t escape the original plot, I handed him a request to break off the engagement...

“If you have any regrets, you should have done it before you took advantage of me.”

Wait, why is there suddenly a confinement plotline that wasn’t in the original story?! <<less

This was what her husband said to Beloni after he was caught having an affair.

She had barely managed to save her family from ruin, but in the end, all she got in return was betrayal.

And that betrayal ended her life.

“If I get the chance… I’ll beat my husband first.”

Perhaps because of that thought, she returned to the wedding hall when she came to her senses.

Beloni swung her fist at her husband without hesitation

and went to see Grand Duke Shanur Reinhardt, known as the cursed beast.

“I know a way to lift the curse. I need your help for that.”

“What kind of help do you need?”

“c*astity.”

Shanur blinked quietly at those words.

A short silence flowed, and then Beloni exclaimed, “Ah!” as if she had realized something.

To use her healing abilities, she needed deep physical contact with him...

But the duke refuses, saying sx is only allowed between married couples.

"I'm just curious, is it really only possible between married couples?"

At those words, the duke's face turns pale.

Irene regards him as an incompetent man and returns to the temple after completing her mission.

Though she thought she had successfully completed her mission, there seems to have been a misunderstanding.

Just as Irene faces the crisis of being imprisoned in the tower, the duke suddenly appears and proposes,

Irene becomes the duke's wife and leaves the temple.

"It's only halfway in now. Shall we stop here?"

She thought he was a dying, incompetent man, but his lower half proved her spectacularly wrong.

“…It’s… it’s just a coincidence, Vivi.”

Meeting him in a quiet café in a southern rural village far from the capital,

The coincidence was too much.

“Why do you keep running away? Have I… have I done something wrong?”

He was always someone who observed propriety, no matter the situation.

Even when things were urgent, he never acted rashly…

When she hung her head deeply low, Costance nervously bit his lips.

"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..."

With nothing but a single cruel letter declaring that everything had been a lie, Emeline’s first love disappeared. Now, he has returned—upon hearing the news of her engagement.

***

It all began with rivalry between families. That man, Zenon Trancium, was a delinquent aristocrat who never failed to scratch at her pride. One summer day, when they were both young and naive…

“Have you ever kissed anyone?” Oh, right, you’re so high and mighty that you would freak out if someone even touched you, wouldn’t you?”

“I’ve done it too. Want me to show you?”

What started as a battle of pride from his taunts quickly turned into first love. But before long, Emeline realized it had all been a game to him, and she erased him from her life—or at least, she tried to.

“It’s been a while, Lady Delzeier.”

Until the moment he appeared again, right after hearing of her engagement.

“Do you hate me so much you’d die? Funny, it doesn’t feel like the truth to me.”

Despite being the one who abandoned her, he now stood before her with the look of someone who had been left behind. Her first love was intruding upon Emeline’s life once more—this time, not to offer love, but to ruin her engagement.

“Lady Delzeier, we may still be rivals tied by our families, but let me make one thing clear.”

We’re no longer the naive children of that summer. <<less

“Don’t misunderstand. I’m not suggesting an affair.”

Although your husband’s already dead anyway.

Cassius murmured cruelly as he approached her.

“Are you pretending not to know, or do you really not know?”

I-young tilted his head, as if he was the one who didn’t understand.
