I’m reincarnated into a tr*shy regret novel. My role is the villainess who secretly loves her husband, the male lead. The shallow wife whose only purpose is to hurt the female lead, a former s*ave.... more>>

“You’re not thinking straight, are you?”

I don’t want to be scorned by a cheating husband who says things like.

“I want a divorce.”

I decided to escape, and now I could start my own business, make a fortune, and live happily ever after.

But as I was living a comfortable life with my newly acquired wealth after the divorce, I heard news that my ex-husband abandoned the female lead.

Well, honestly, I guess it’s none of my business?

“Let’s get back together; it was my fault.”

No, what exactly is he doing?

***

There’s something off about the guy I picked up and used as a bodyguard. Is he really the second lead in this story?

“I heard about you. You said you were playing around with this guy and that guy.”

Well, those are the stories of the previous owner of this body, not mine…….

Well, no way. Is this the repertoire for going to the female lead after saying you were disappointed?

“Why? Are you disappointed and disgusted after hearing the rumors?”

However, he shook his head and rested his cheek on my palm.

“No. I’m just curious why you’re not playing with me….”

… … huh?

What is he talking about? <<less

I found myself transmigrated into a novel full of obsession and tragedy, but I didn’t care one bit. I was neither the heroine nor the villainess; I was just a passing noblewoman. I felt a bit of remorse for the heroine, who would rescue a child and suffer at the hands of the villain, but the male lead would save her in the end, anyway.... more>>

I had nothing to worry about in my life.

“This is insane! Are you crazy, Brother?!”

Until my lunatic older brother came to me and said, “I have a gift for you!” and brought THAT child!

“Doesn’t he resemble that stray cat you used to like when you were little?”

Whatever! Take him back right now!

* * *

‘It’s fine, as long as I don’t get caught…’

I pretended to help the villain, who was madly looking for his missing younger brother, while I secretly kept an eye on him.

I was determined not to hand the child over to a human who wanted to use his little brother as a pawn in war, but…

“Rayna, tell me.”

His grip on my ankle grew stronger.

“Why do you keep lying to me and hiding Calyx, my little brother?” <<less

"You're supposed to love me, it's our destiny...!... more>>

But why..."

Aveline and Kazel were destined lovers, brought together by the gods.

Therefore, Aveline loved Kazel.

And Kazel, too, had to love Aveline...

"Could it be that you love that woman?"

"And if I do?"

"...What?"

He defied his fate, and he fell in love with another woman.

Chlone, if only she could break that woman's delicate neck...

But Aveline couldn't lay a finger on her.

"It means the destined lovers in the prophecy are the Duke and Lady Chlone."

Even the fate that barely tied them together wasn't on her side.

"I wish I were the woman you loved."

"Are you still talking about that?"

Kazel cut her off, finding it tiresome.

The man's face, stripped even of obligatory kindness, turned as cold as a grim reaper.

"Okay. I guess I should stop dreaming in vain now.”

"What...?"

"I lost, Kazel."

Aveline forced a smile.

"I'll send you to her."

The stage, where God had been mocking the foolishness of humans, was completely drawn to a close.

Now was the time for her to exit. <<less
