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

Driel Stein, the Lord of Arhon. ... more>>

The unfortunate fact that he did not love his wife, Lune Hellid, was well-known to most.

“To all the gods I swear;

I will never love someone like you.

Rather than spending the rest of my life with you, I would rather die on the battlefield.”

Lune, having heard insults from her husband on the day of their wedding,

became the world’s most miserable wife, but she did not resent Driel.

Instead, she understood Driel.

“I’ve begged you countless times to not choose me as your husband.

Now that you’ve ruined me, how do you feel?”

It was because Lune Hellid had ruined Driel Stein’s life.

*

After three years, the husband who left for the battlefield like he was committing su*cide has returned.

To seek forgiveness for her mistakes, Lune decided to get a divorce immediately.

But her husband was acting strangely.

“I’m not going to divorce you even if I die. So you should also give up.”

Not only did he refuse the divorce, he even extended a helping hand to Lune.

“Lune. The Driel that whined that you ruined his life was reborn on the battlefield.”

What exactly happened to Driel at the northern battlefield?

“Lady Hellid, there are reanimated corpses attacking the village!”

Furthermore, as soon as the war in the north ended, a strange incident occurred in the territory.

Will they be able to overcome the crisis?

Will they be able to live in the present without dwelling on the regrets of the past? <<less

Ellie was a girl who couldn’t talk or even write well.... more>>

By chance, she begins listening to three people’s secrets.

The three start to develop an interest in Ellie who hearken to their words.

However, a couple of days later, Ellie disappears without leaving any traces.

With Ellie’s disappearance,

Hayden, who confessed that he has a crush on a man.

Lennon, who enjoys games involving riddles.

Lebrado, who has a secret fetish.

The three men start searching for her, yet no one comes to figure out where she had left.

Since they would only talk about their own stories and had no clue about hers.

Voiceless Ellie.

That was my name.

***(After the tables have turned)***

I began to speak again and by the favor of someone truly dear to me, I became an “Count”.

The commoner Ellie who once couldn’t talk, can now let out a voice as “Count Phever”.

And when the time came to reunite with the three people,

“……Ellie?”

The Ellie you know from the past is now gone.

“You’ve got the wrong person.”

Perfectly spoken, the words echoed throughout my body. <<less

I sacrificed my own life to save my husband, who was my first love.
I thought I could finally be free from this foolish love after I’ve died, but…... more>>

Why is it that when I opened my eyes again, I found myself in someone else’s body?
Even worse, I transmigrated into a novel?

And why is my ex-husband here, too?

He became the S-Class Esper who was obsessed with the female lead—enough that he would eventually commit treason against the Crown Prince, who was the true male lead.
More than anything else though, why did I suddenly manifest the abilities of a Guide?

…Ah, whatever. I died anyway, so that should be the same as a divorce, I guess.

* * *

“My wife, did you think that I wouldn’t recognize your guiding?”

Why do you remember me.
Why are you looking at me like that, not the female lead? With those eyes so full of obsession and madness.
You weren’t originally this kind of man.

He approached me at a languid pace, watching closely as I was at a loss for words.
His saunter was slow and elegant, as though he was a lion approaching his prey—even so, he could not hide his thirst and hunger. No, it’s not as if he was even trying to hide it.

As he finally arrived in front of me, he raised one hand and held my chin. With his thumb, unceremoniously, he rubbed my lower lip.
At the familiar action, I felt myself shudder. He had always been rather rough whenever he received my guiding.
His delighted expression was slightly distorted.

“Ha…”

The moment his skin touched mine—the moment I started guiding him—he let out a deep, drawn-out sigh. His hot, thick breath clung to my eyes and lips.

I felt a warm hand touch my back, and he soon pulled me close to him forcefully. With my body pressed entirely against his, I couldn’t hide my surprise as I glanced up at him.
Then, when he opened his previously closed lids, his blue eyes looked at me as though he’d been waiting.

With his lips so close to the tip of my nose, he turned his head obliquely as he crooned.

“I’ve been looking for you for such a long time, Honey.” <<less
