‘It would be better to be reborn in the world of a novel.’... more>>

Was it wrong to make such a crazy wish when I was exhausted from overwork? I was truly reborn through the fantasy novel , which I had read before. An ordinary lady with a wonderful older sister, a cute younger brother, and a kind childhood friend wants only one thing.

If possible, I just wanted to see my favorite character in real life at least once.

“Marry me, Lady Devlanc.”

A duel between the crazy villain who has tormented the main character for over a thousand episodes. No, I sent a marriage application.

“If you don’t like it, push it away. “It’s okay if you kick me.” “Other than eating, there are other things I want to eat.”

The sight of my favorite character, who has become so infatuated with me, feels so unfamiliar to me.

“Didn’t you say you like me?”

I like him, I really like him, but I didn’t want to meet him like this. The turbulent newlywed life of Lady Freesia, who unexpectedly falls for the world. <<less

As I was living as a Duchess who was hated by everyone, I had been diagnosed to be terminally ill. So, I created a fake body and ran away. The funeral had gone well, and I was officially a dead person.... more>>

Then a strange rumor began to circulate.

Apparently, upon my death, my husband had gone mad.

***

Dehart whispered with his head down, “Can’t I ever call you Sebelia again?”

“No, you can’t.”

“Even if I kneel down like this?”

“Even if you give your life to me.” Sebelia bent forward slightly and whispered in his ear, “Dehart, I’m generous to people who know their place.”

His heart gave a jolt. He looked at Sebelia with trembling eyes.

In the past, it was her whom those words were spoken to.

[I’m generous to people who know their place.]

Those were Dehart’s first words to Sebelia. <<less

During the springtime of the year I turned nine years old, a father I didn’t even know existed suddenly showed up.... more>>

“Why are you here, Duke? It was comfortable when we didn’t see each other.”
“You’ve been comfortable all this time, so isn’t it time for you to be uncomfortable, Your Highness?”

Turns out, my mother was actually the daughter of a tyrant. And my father was the Duke who overthrew that tyrant.

“O, great and busy Duke of Chelsiers. Did you look for me just to make me feel uncomfortable?”
“Is it so strange for a husband to look for his wife?”
“Do we still have that relationship? Ah, I forgot. Well then, let’s get divorced.”

…Can anyone tell me what’s going on with these two??

“I wish I was there to hug you when you were younger.”

It was a low whisper filled with a mixture of soft, warm and sad feelings.
I hesitated a little before I confessed.

“I often made Mom upset before. If I met you earlier, you might’ve hated me.”

Dad burst into laughter at my words. Even though… I meant what I said.
After a long laugh, he looked at me with a hint of a sorrowful smile on his lips.

“If we had met earlier, you would’ve called me Dad more. That’s enough for me.” <<less

‘A cross-dressing duke in a BL novel who pretends to be an obsessive maniac.’... more>>

That was a perfect sentence to describe her.

* * *

Levin de Bervein was the lord of a prestigious duchy and a renowned swordmaster with outstanding looks. While seemingly perfect, he harbored a secret: he was actually a woman!

After falling into water unexpectedly, she met the eccentric princess.

“Sister, please become a fake obsessive maniac!”

Since they were inside this tragic BL novel, the princess wanted her to seduce the bottom male lead instead of the original story's obsessive maniac to prevent the world's destruction.

She followed the plan and seduced him, acting like an obsessive maniac.

However…

"Act like you love me. If you don't, I might just kill the person you love."

The bottom male lead, whom she manipulated and discarded, returned as the Emperor of a new empire.

"What do I need to do to have you? War? Massacre?"

The original 'Obsessive Maniac 1', the enemy empire's emperor, was truly insane.

"With just one kiss from you, I can dedicate everything I have. This heart, this empire."

The childhood friend whom she thought was innocent turned out to be the real 'Obsessive Maniac 2' from the original story.

For some reason, the obsessive maniacs from the story all come after her. <<less

I possessed as the male lead’s nanny. Eventually I will die at his hands.... more>>

I raised him with care and tried to avoid my own death, but this time, his father would kill me.

In times like this, the answer was to run away without looking back.

But why are they blocking my escape route?

“I want to live with Renee for a long, long time.”

“Edwin wants this, so as a father, I have to listen to him.”

Since when did you guys get along so well?

At my bewildered gaze, he walked slowly.

“I’ve been thinking of a way to live together for a long time… There is one thing that fits perfectly.”

My body became stiff as his hand subtly stroked my face.

He seemed satisfied with my terrified face and gave me a deep smile.

“That’s right. If you want something, you should say it in words. Instead of protesting like this.”

If I hang on now, it won’t be too late.

With a firm resolve, I closed my eyes tightly and shouted.

“Pl-please save me!”

“Yes. Let’s get married.”

Both he and I looked puzzled at the words with completely different atmospheres that came out at the same time. <<less

She was miserably abandoned by her co-workers and lover.... more>>

It was the emperor Herhan who saved Riela, who was brought to the execution place on behalf of her sins.

She owed so much to the emperor and gave so much, but that was all.
Riela didn't know he would dare to shake her world.

"I can’t hear you." she said.

"God always took away what I desperately wanted."

Until she found out that the emperor was a cursed man and…

"Riela Blinite, as a result of the verdict, she's a saintess with the qualities of a higher savior."

She realizes that she's the only saintess who can save him. <<less

Belladonna, the Magpie Duchess.... more>>

Having sacrificed everything to repay the Duke's favor for saving her, she was no longer as kind as before after her return.
ㅡㅡㅡ
She wanted recognition in everything related to the Duke, desiring to be embraced as part of his family. With one life to give, she had done her best for the Duke's house and had died doing so. So, she did everything she could.

"Good."
What needed to be unraveled would be unraveled, and what needed to be kept would be kept. Following the Duke's last wishes, she would protect the Duke's estate until Kaelan came of age.

And in three years, she would leave this place without any regrets.

So, my dear children.
For you, this should be good news.
You will no longer have the attention that you have always rejected.

ㅡㅡㅡ

"...Why aren't you scolding me?"
I smiled gently at the wicked child who asked me with a trembling voice.

"I already told you. Reina."
"..."
"I don't plan on scolding you."
"Why?"

I don't want to do anything that would relieve your burden, and I don't want to help you anymore.

"Just because."

I no longer want to help you.

ㅡㅡㅡ

"I want to be happy."
"Is that all?"
"I'm not sure. What makes people happy?"
"Family, delicious food, loved ones, and... things you want to have? You can be happy even with small things."
"What do you want then?"
"I... well. I just... want a pretty hairpin."

The child, momentarily distracted by a bright smile that didn't match the current situation, suddenly spoke with determination in her voice.

"A hairpin. I'll give you one."

And the long-forgotten connection from the distant past slowly approached like flowing water. <<less
