I was born with it.
The golden blood that can revive the dead.... more>>

Living deprived of freedom, yet holding onto the hope of someday seeing the sea, I spent each day.

Until I met the boy dying alone in the forest.

"You're not one of my people. Who are you?"
"S-Se...secret."

From that intertwined fate, waves began to ripple through my quiet daily life, much like a still lake.

"Outside is dangerous, Seri. Always be careful! Why is this simple request so difficult for you?"

Little by little,

"I am a liar, little miss."

Little by little,

"Of course. From the moment you became mine, I belong to you."

Little by little.

Until finally, everything surrounding me reversed, swallowed mercilessly by that enormous wave.

"Hush."

The girl who didn't want to become an adult and the boy who had to become one,

"Ru, no, Your Highness, I want to propose a contractual engagement."
"Go on, say it once more."

Finally embracing the tangled destiny, they became adults. <<less

[///]

I’ve become an extra in the novel as the friend that triggered the line, ‘My friend’s dead!.”

I fled from the original plot and got a job at the castle where the castle lord’s a shut-in. Everyday was peaceful until I discovered the lord returning late one night covered with blood.

“Whoops, looks like I’ve been caught.”

Eek! I thought the job was an easy gig, but it turned out to be the lair of the villain who went batsh*t crazy for the female protagonist and caused a bloody massacre!

[///]

I tried to escape to survive, but failed. I’ve no choice but to care for him in hopes that he might become slightly less batsh*t crazy…

“I have a fiancé.”

“It’s fine. You won’t have one starting from tomorrow.”

“What? Why?”

“He’s going to die later.”

What the hell were you saying, you lunatic!

“For now, we’ll just hold hands and sleep.”

He roughly pulled off his cravat while saying the most unbelievable things.

“If you want, I’ll go slower.”

“I don’t want anything.”

“Well, we’ll see. I’ll tempt you, so hang in there.”

“I don–…!”

However, he deftly unbuttoned the rest of his shirt and his urgent breath that landed on my nape felt hot.

Why was this man behaving like this towards me instead of the heroine? Please save me. It seemed the villain had mistaken me for someone else! <<less

I, possessed the body of Marianne who lived with the three villainous brothers! On top of that these vicious three brothers were the reason for the demise of the original owner of this body in the novel!

‘Everything felt ominous around these three notorious Brothers’

“You piece of shit, did you just glared at me?”

“I will kill everything that catches my eye.”

I was surrounded by threats all the time. I won’t be like those brothers.

‘So what if someone hits me? I shall just take one hit and be done with it. I will never fight back or threaten others!’

However I was fortunate about one thing. It was after six years that the original story will start. I had a lot of time in my hand to plan and prevent my demise.

“… First of all, I have to get along with these crazy people!”

Yes, now was my chance. If I can rehabilitate them and prevent them from taking a dark path, my future will also change.

‘I can save myself from danger! I can save my life!’

Liriette's voice trembled as she asked.

All of the male leads have gone missing.... more>>

She didn't think it had anything to do with her, an extra NPC.

Until she found their faces trapped in her paintings.

If she stays silent, she'll be accused of being a witch for imprisoning them and playing games with them, and she'll be executed.

Doing what she can to save them, she walks into the painting.......

"I never once thought of you as a friend."

"I was...... looking forward to seeing you again."

"I wanted to make you my wife."

"Honey, didn't you miss me?"

As the memories of a past that didn't exist before returned, she became horribly entangled with the male leads.

Why are they all doing this to me?

Just then, a white square window flashed before Pandora's eyes.

▶ Do you want to open Pandora's jar?

Maybe she...... opened something she shouldn't have.

"Good morning, Miss Pandora."

The story of Pandora, who is loved by five men, and Pandora herself, with her strong scent of paint.

“Let’s break up.”

“…What are you saying?”

“The Duke doesn’t like me either, so I don’t want this marriage.”

I didn’t want to get caught up in the original story so I asked the male lead’s father for a divorce. Except…

“Once we got engaged, you became mine. I won’t break off this marriage.” The man who was supposed to despise me refuses.

“Are you sure you can’t be Ruth's mom? Is it because you don’t like Ruth?” Even the original male lead cried and begged me to be his mother.

Why the hell is everyone acting like this? <<less

Rodelia, the "Flower of the Thebes Empire," was the perfect empress and loving wife. ... more>>

No, that was what she thought.

That was, until the woman showed up.

"You told me you loved me. Was it all a lie?”

“...... It wasn't a lie. It's just that my heart is small.”

Rodelia collapsed at the Emperor's words that he no longer loved her.

Then a mysterious man, Cerdian, approached her, offering a helping hand.

“Your help is not needed. Grand Duke Eisen.”

“As I said, you will choose me in the end.”

Unable to trust Cerdian, Rodelia rejected him, but found herself teetering in the face of an increasingly harsh fate .......

"There's nothing to be afraid of."

"......."

“Didn’t you come to me with your own two feet?”

Rodelia herself knew this.
As long as she held Cerdian's hand first, she wouldn’t be able to run away from him.

“Do you think I can let you go?”

‘Can I really trust him?’ <<less

"So, are there any signs of pregnancy?"

"Ah, I-I'm sorry."

"You're useless. What luck do you think won you the position of the duke's wife?"

I couldn't say a word.

‘No, excuse me. I only have to look at the sky to pluck a star. That's how I attained this position.'

***

A husband who doesn't like touching me in the least.

But he's still pitiful so let's at least make him healthy by feeding him nutritious food, getting him to exercise, and I'll personally test any doubtful food first. Once he recovers from my extensive efforts, I'll sign an annulment paper and flee, but...

"You agreed to a contract to bear me an heir. But to think you would go back on your words..."

Although he's in good health now, my "former" husband has become a bit too healthy.

"You're healthy now!"

"The duties of marriage are sacred. I will collect my dues."

"Wait. Wait! But we're divorced? We're no longer husband and wife..."

He smirked then took a piece of paper from his breast pocket and tossed it to me.

"We aren't divorced yet." <<less

A few years ago, my ex-boyfriend, who I broke up with after our one-night stand, came to visit me as a duke. He said he regretted abandoning me.... more>>

What are you talking about? What’s there to regret when we’ve split up with ease?

Also, I think he even misunderstood my sister’s daughter for ours.

“I had no idea. I didn’t know you were raising our child alone.”

What is this situation?

Just then, my niece, who hid herself behind my back, stuck her tongue out at him.

“I hate you, you’re a bad guy who abandoned us. Go away!”

He staggered in a shocked manner.

No, he didn’t abandon you.

And I’m not your mother! <<less

One day, I found myself reincarnated as the friend of the female lead who is destined to die.... more>>

Thinking that I should tell the female lead everything, in the end, I decided to keep silent so as to not mess up the future.

I became frustrated and ended up entering the forbidden forest to ‘secretly’ curse the male lead.

“The male lead is a son of a b*tch!”

However, not expecting anyone to hear it, for some reason, rumors have begun to spread that the male lead, Duke Vishwaltz, was a gay.

Moreover, now he’s even going so far as to launch a full scale investigation to find the source of the false rumor…?

“…I can’t help but to notice your voice.”

Anyhow, I’m afraid my life is screwed. <<less

After loving his beautiful and cold wife, all that was left to Idren was her dead body.... more>>

“I hate you now too.”

Idren realized something when he came face to face with Ophelia from the past.

No matter how many times he fell into the deep abyss, it was his destiny to return to her.

***

He was a quiet husband. Knows how to keep the line and does not make unreasonable demands.

A man she wouldn't be sorry to turn her back on at any time.

To Ophelia, Idren was just that.

“I love you…”

She didn't know she would say something like this to him.

Kissing the other person's cheek, which was stained with tears and wounds, Ophelia thought.
Have you ever felt this sad and heartbroken?

“I love you. I should have told you sooner.”

To the man who threw the embers into the cold sea, she hoped these words were not too late. <<less

“My daughter said her dad was the best in the world,” Dad, who had the scent of blood, said.

“Mariette, you are my salvation and my God. Because you have saved my life.”

The crown prince thought she was a crybaby fairy.

“I will follow you until the end of my life. Queen of the Witches.”

Even the witches who used to live in secret.

“Where are you looking? Don’t look at him and just pet me.”

I thought this wolf had become extinct, but I picked it up by accident.

Not only my dad, but everyone’s affection for me is too much.

What if I get sick? <<less

“Well, for the treatment…”
“Yes, it’s for the treatment.”
“This is the treatment?”

After many ups and downs, the emperor’s lackadaisical mindset and indolent lifestyle were returned to normal. Also, is it just me or are the emperor’s eyes getting hotter and hotter?

“Rena, why does my heart pound when I see you?”
“You have arrhythmia.”

Why is he suddenly doing this? He didn’t do this before, but he kept lovingly whispering, telling me to stay with him.

She enticed the successor to the Duke of Lisianthus.... more>>

He sneakily grabbed my hand.

I sighed and twisted my hand out of his grip. “We can’t do this as friends.”

“Are you ashamed of holding my hand even once, Leen?”

No matter how much I think about what Carsion said, with his face showing ‘I barely held one hand’, it doesn’t seem that way.

“I can do more with you, Leen.”

Those words seemed to ring in my head, but the blue pupils were headed in a different direction – you can’t even look me in the eye. I mean, it’s not convincing to say those kind of words with such a shy face, you punk.

The Duchess took something out from the purse in her arms.

“Do you need money? Then take this money and break up with Carsion; take it without hard feelings.”

I stared silently into the thick pockets that the Duchess gave. Then I tapped my chin and gave her a serious look. “We’re not dating, we’re friends. Do you want me to cut off my friendship with Carsion from today?”

Will the Duchess get up from her seat, trembling and slap my face? Or are you going to spray water on me?

“Pass!”

“Ye-yes?” My face slowly blushed with embarrassment.

What’s with her unexpected reaction?! <<less

So she tried her best to help the male lead and female lead to meet. Finally, when she tried to leave after fulfilling her responsibility, the male lead became dark.

At Kallen’s words, El turned toward him.

‘Surely I didn’t just say something he can’t understand, right? It’s just one line… No, it can’t be… ‘

As she shook her head, looking at Kallen with wide eyes, he furrowed his brow slightly.

“I didn’t quite understand that passage you just said.”

“Where? I just read, ‘How happy it would be if I could breathe in the same space as Duke Kallen,’ just one line, right?”

“Right there. Breathing in the same space, what’s that supposed to mean? Isn’t breathing something we always do?”

El was momentarily at a loss for words.
