"Don’t die, Daphne. You were my only salvation."... more>>

The prince, whom I didn't even know, saved me and then died. In a kingdom destined to fall within a year's span, I pledged to repay the prince's kindness. However, the prince, rumored to be a dreadful monster, was determined to hide himself.

"What is this? Your Highness, why are you so handsome?"

"Stop it. Don't call me cute or adorable!"

However, the prince shrouded in tales of monstrosity revealed himself to be nothing but a bashful and cautious man. Excellent! I thought, determined to coax him and live together happily this time.

"The princess has been assassinated. It's time for the exiled prince to return to the throne."

Abruptly, after the demise of the heroine, the prince was to be crowned as the next ruler. As someone who had been by the prince's side all along, I was bound to become a pawn in the political game.

"Farewell, Your Highness. Be happy."

"Don't go, Daphne. You promised to stay by my side. Please..."

"I apologize."

In order to survive on my own, I had no choice but to escape the kingdom. However, contrary to my memory, the kingdom didn't fall within a year.

"Did you enjoy your time? Were you happy without me?"

Where did my adorable prince go? Instead, an overwhelming obsessive man stood before me, blocking my path. <<less

Three years have passed since Hayeon, who lost her parents in an accident, began living with Kang Tae-geon, her father’s close friend.... more>>

“Hayeon-ah, I got a call yesterday. My cousin is coming to Korea this weekend.”

His cousin was arriving in Korea before his upcoming wedding. An explanation followed that she had met him before, but she couldn’t remember at all. She brushed it off indifferently, but on the day of his arrival…

“Ah. You’ve grown so much.”

A dark shadow fell over her head, and a woody scent brushed the tip of her nose. For nineteen-year-old Hayeon, a feverish first love washed over her.

“Oppa. I like you. I’m declaring war on you.”

A ten-year age difference meant nothing to Hayeon. <<less

Yoo Raon, an ordinary art student and a Beta by nature, encounters a dangerous and menacing man one night while walking through a deserted alleyway.... more>>

“What should I do with someone so clueless, despite wanting to stay alive? Hmm?”

“It makes me want to save you, but also rip that mouth of yours right off.”

He had a beautiful face and a soft-spoken voice. Yet his strength, aimed at his prey, was unrelenting and merciless.

The man locked eyes with Raon but said nothing, leaving only a strange, beautiful smile as he disappeared. Relieved that she wasn’t harmed despite being a witness, her peace doesn’t last long.

“Hi. We meet again.”

“Oh, just wondering—you’re not going to pretend you don’t remember me, are you?”

The man begins appearing in Raon’s world, his gaze filled with amusement, as though he’d found a new toy to play with. Despite the unexpected entanglement, Raon doesn’t find it particularly difficult to deal with him.

“I thought this before, but your pheromones are pretty nice.”

However, when the man begins to show interest in Raon’s childhood friend—her first love and an Omega newly awakened—things take a very different turn. <<less

I got reincarnated into an adult-rated depraved romance story. To make matters worse, I was reborn as the daughter of an evil mage who captured and tortured the male lead—who is half human and half demon.. ... more>>

At this rate, I will die at the hands of the male lead, so I decided to help him escape before he awakens.

Successfully executing my plan, I thought I could part ways with him and live a peaceful life.

"Promise me we'll meet again. If you break it, you'll die. Both you and I."

Even though I knew it was a promise I couldn't keep, I still wagered my pinky finger and made the vow.

And seven years later.

Clyde, who I thought I would never see again, came back.

"If you wanted to deceive my eyes, you should have at least disguised yourself."

Clyde slowly brushed my cheek with the back of his hand. The area where our skin made contact felt like an electric jolt.

"For seven years, not a single day went by that I forgot your face. Don't ever think you can deceive me again." <<less

The daughter of a viscount, Eleanor Townsend lost her parents at a young age and had been receiving sponsorship from the Duke of Griffith. This sponsorship led to rumors that Eleanor must be the Duke’s illegitimate daughter.... more>>

Suddenly, the Duke declares that his heir, Daryl, must maintain a one-year marriage with Eleanor, or he won’t inherit the title. Daryl approaches Eleanor and proposes a contractual marriage for just one year.

“If you want to repay my father’s favor, you’ll have to accept my offer. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have to go through this absurdity.”

He was a cold and arrogant man.

Throughout their contract marriage, Daryl’s tongue had been like a poisoned blade, cutting through Eleanor.

“Don’t delude yourself into thinking you’re a real duchess. Live as if you were dead for a year. Don’t speak to me.”

She endured it, waiting only for the day when this marriage would end.

However, why is it that the one who never took her side, not even once, is now trying to hold onto her?

**.

“You’re the one who said it only needed to be a formality; you’re the one who asked me to marry you in the first place; you’re the one who brought me a contract stipulating a divorce after a year; you’re the one who coerced me into paying the favor the former duke had given me.”

“……Eleanor, back then, I was.”

“You told me not to delude myself into thinking I became a real duchess, and live like dead for a year. You practically treated me like I didn’t exist the entire time.”

“……”

“It was a lonely life, many, many times more lonely than the one I lived alone in Townsend Street, but I put up with it, because it was a promise, because I thought it was my way of making amends for the trouble I’d unwittingly caused you, and so I put up with it, because it was only a year, and I can’t put up with it any longer, and I don’t want to.”

The calm way she spoke to Daryl contained all the truth Eleanor had kept bottled up inside for a year.

“Now please leave.”

“……”

“If you don’t leave, I will.” <<less

I am a vampire, possessing the body of the villainess in the novel.... more>>

I want to live quietly so I can live peacefully.

When I saw the Duke of Esteban, I lost all my reason and bit his neck.

Duke of Esteban just so happens to be the greatest figure in the empire.

I didn’t have enough strength to fight the desire, so I slept with him…

I’m in trouble. Let’s erase his memory and run.

“Your Excellency asked me to convey a message ‘I let you have my neck and body, but you threw it all away and ran.’”

What are you saying?

Does he remember?

Later, there was a strange declaration of war after we met.

“Don’t avoid me and let’s continue to meet. Also, when you need blood, come find me.”

Duke, would you please stay away from me?

It’s hard to breathe because of your taste. <<less
