"I will become the Empress. After cutting off your head."... more>>

I lived to become the perfect Empress. I never doubted my future.

Until the day I found out my fiancé was seeing another woman.

"Actually, this is a world inside a book. I came from another world."

Her identity was that of a villainess from another world.

A vicious villainess who boldly declared she would take everything from Aristie.

To stand against her, I had to become, literally, a mad dog.

"Is there no problem in establishing a marriage if the spouse has unusual s*xual preferences?"

"What on earth are you saying?"

"His Majesty the Emperor is homosexual!"

At the revelation that burst out during the sacred national marriage, screams echoed everywhere.

It was a moment when an unprecedented marriage scandal in the history of the empire was recorded like a blemish.

***

"No matter how many times, how many years I approached you, you never shared your emotions!"

"Until I finally gave up, you always showed a soulless appearance as the future Empress...!"

Approached? When? Emotions? That was just because I was your fiancée.

The person you chose wasn't me...

"I was always sincere!"

"Your Majesty..."

"Even after giving up! I was convinced that you were the only one who could be my Empress!"

Khalid lowered his hand, remembering the times when he struggled to kill his love.

When his hidden eyes were revealed, Aristie's heart dropped.

Khalid's golden eyes, exploding with emotion for the first time in his life, were burning so hot they seemed about to melt and flow. <<less

My funeral has begun.... more>>

“How can she not shed tears when her twin sister died?”

“I heard she’s an idiot, so the rumors must be true.”

“I heard she has an inferiority complex. Who knows, maybe she is happy inside.”

I died of poison. And overnight I became Mergen’s burden, Irene.

You said you wanted to live like me? No, Irene. You shouldn’t live like that.

***

“You’re not going anywhere without my permission, Noona.”

Since when did Abel, who treated Irene like a bug, start calling me Noona?

“Keep your promise. Our deal isn’t over yet.”

My ex-fiancé, with whom I had a strictly business relationship, started treating Irene like the old me.

“I don’t care what it is. I’m a vulgar mongrel, unlike you, so I can digest whatever I swallow.”

Why does the Grand Duke, whom I thought was the enemy, do this?

The attitudes of the three men are puzzling. It is said that there are no permanent enemies or allies, but has there ever been a time when things were so unclear as now? <<less

She has lived for over ten years as the childhood friend of someone she has unrequited love for.... more>>

“Judith, there is nothing in the world more precious to me than you.”

He whispers kindly with a smile, but their relationship is just that of cherished friends, nothing more.

Asel Fedelian is a cruel person.

Even if not everyone thinks so, Judith evaluates Asel as such.

Because he doesn't have a cruel heart, he is even more cruel.

She was tired of hoping alone and getting hurt alone.

So Judith decided to cut off Asel.

***

As a means to push Asel away, she got engaged to another man.

"I'm getting engaged to you, but that doesn't mean I cherish you as my fiancée."

An engagement without love, which was exactly what she wanted.

But even though it was clearly like that—

“What would you do if I said I like you?”

Why does Chase keep approaching her?

“I want to be by your side.”

Moreover, why is Asel trying to shake her now? <<less

The story revolves around Irene, a candidate for saintliness, who grows up amidst severe ab*se and discrimination, leaving her spirit and body worn out.... more>>

Suddenly, she’s unfairly accused of attempting to assassinate another saint candidate.

Knowing she’ll never become a saint anyway, Irene decides to jump off the tower, determined to end her suffering.

“This life of nothing but pain, I will end it now.”

But then comes a shocking divine intervention from the sky.

「The next Saint shall be Irene.」

Yet, Irene’s body is already plummeting from the tower…

…This cannot happen! <<less

After 7 years, I returned from the world of romance fantasy novels to reality. Just when I thought I’d finally come back to a peaceful normal life…... more>>

[Breaking News: An area around △△ Station has collapsed due to Esper Y’s rampage. The government has announced they will provide appropriate compensation…]

Looking at my completely destroyed house, I realized something: this world was actually an urban fantasy.

***

I started a small business to make ends meet. First, I learned that running a flower shop wasn’t my calling. Apparently, neither was running a rice ball shop—a Gate burst open right where it stood. Oh, and somewhere in between, I lost two more rented studios to Yeon Woojin. With my last remaining pennies scraped together, I opened a café. And it became a huge success.

***

“May I have your name for the loyalty card?”

“I’m Woo-”

When our eyes met, the man blushed slightly as he began to speak. At that exact moment, a booming voice blared from the television.

[Fellow citizens!! Our nation’s pride, the ‘Messiah’ Guild, has achieved a world record for the fastest A-rank high-level Gate clearing!!]

The overly excited reporter was announcing news about the Messiah Guild, led by Yeon Woojin, the highest-ranking Esper. In an instant, all the cluttered thoughts in my head were wiped clean, replaced by pure black rage.

My sworn enemy. The one who had forced me into a nomadic lifestyle. Grinding my teeth, I silently cursed.

“That bastard Yeon Woojin… Just wait till I get my hands on you.”

“…”

“Oh, I’m so sorry! So what did you say your name was? I heard Woo…”

“Woo. Joo Wooyae,” the man answered, his face turning pale. <<less

Forget the romance. Just take me home!... more>>

Kim Yi-Young was an average student studying for the civil servant exam in South Korea. After four and a half years of hard work and her singular pastime of reading one novel, she finally passed. But then, on the day she went out to celebrate, she died in a car accident and reincarnated into the modern fantasy hunter novel she had been reading.

A "system" offers her a path back home. Determined to return and cuddle with her warm, adorable Maltese, Cerberus, Yi-Young grew her powers through dozens of regressions.

After making deals with the constellations from the novel and dying several times, she finally defeats the Tower Master, who rules the final floor of the Tower.

All that was left was going back home...

...Or so she thought!

[Due to an error, you will be reincarnated in a new series by the author instead of returning to your world!]

Screw that! All I wanted was my home, sweet home! Is it that hard?! I got rid of the Tower for you!

It's a romance-fantasy novel, at that! I never even cared for the "R" in romance, even in my last reincarnation! And this time, I didn't reincarnate as myself like before—I’m the "villainess"!

The dangers in this world don't scare me at all, but the forced romance in the quests is concerning.

Will I be able to go home...? <<less

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.

The male leads...... they’re trapped inside my painting! <<less

I found myself in the failed novel I wrote, in a position where I had to kill the villain and my favorite character, the Grand Duke.... more>>

I tried my best, thinking there was no choice if I wanted to survive……

“Slow. Too light and weak.”

Kaiel’s hands tightly gripped Delia’s wrists, which were holding the dagger.

“To stab properly, you should have aimed here. Again.”

It was another failure. He even blatantly gave me a chance, but my resolve to kill him crumbled like the wind.

“……Let me go.”

“No.”

Soon, his large hand gently pressed down on Delia’s back.
As a result, she collapsed helplessly onto his broad chest.
He pulled her completely into his embrace.
The more she struggled, the deeper she was pulled into him.

“Is today’s attempt over? Then sleep here.”
“……I want to go. Let me go.”
“It’s an order.”

He patted her back a couple of times as if to soothe her.
Along with a low whisper in her ear.

“Good night, Delia.”

He held her tightly, making it impossible to escape, rough yet infinitely warm.
……This is a big problem.

‘At this rate, I can’t kill you!’

The more my feelings grew, the less I could stay by his side.
So I ran away. To distance myself from him.

“Bring her back.”
“But Miss is already in the palace…….”
“Immediately……!”

What should I do with these feelings that have grown uncontrollably? <<less

Kirona has Tetra fever, a disease that causes her to endure five fevers and cause her death after the fifth. After her second episode, she decides to hide her identity as the princess and heads towards the East, where it is infested with monsters, to find ‘Nadaline’s Flower’.... more>>

In the middle of Nabimi Forest, the most dangerous part of the monster zone, Kirona rescues a mercenary from Basilisk. She wakes up, tied…

“Is it an Eastern tradition to hold a knife at the neck of the benefactor who saved your life?”

“Ah, you know. In the East, if you aren’t the killer, you are the killed.”

Kirona had taken a liking to Jade Eclipse, the youngest son of the Eclipse family, who was ruined by love. Because he seemed to do anything for money.

“How much debt do I have left?”

“If I release you, will you repay your debt?” Kirona asked, smiling at Jade.

​Never in his dreams did he imagine the Princess of the Empire would appear before his eyes.

“You’re in luck, kidnapper. Where else in the Empire can you find an employer like me?” <<less

Why Only Me, Why Only Me!!!... more>>

Everyone else, whether they're the main character, a supporting role, or even just an extra, manages to live their lives with ease, immersed in the story. But somehow, I ended up possessed by something bizarre.

[Currently, your attention level is 17%.]

[If you don't reach 100% within the remaining time, you will die.]

As an attention seeker who dies if they don't immediately achieve their attention level, I tried to set up some sweet flags for myself as a possessed character, only to find... a death flag.

Despite desperately trying to draw attention while swallowing my tears and snot...

"Tell me. How did you find out?"

The male lead is trying to kill me.

Ah, the fate of an attention seeker is to be killed in the most extreme way.

* * *

But something went wrong. It seems I drew attention in the worst possible way.

"We're not breaking up. I can't let you go."

The prince, for whom I had to jump around like a live fish to get any attention, is now clinging to me.

"My life belongs to you, Miss."

An assassin appears offering his life—something I neither want nor need.

"I'll marry you."

A seemingly normal man, but who seems far from normal on the inside, keeps making advances.

But amidst all this chaos, the most panic-inducing thing is this:

"Mae, look at what I brought!"

The female lead, Edith, smiled brightly with an unusually happy face.

"It's very fresh, as I just got it this morning!"

What madness. Does that even count as an apology?

The original male lead is dead. Leaving behind a death report for the female lead instead of a marriage report. <<less

The heroine, who had an incurable disease, needed the heart of a great witch to cure it.... more>>

For that reason, Mirania the great witch was forced to die at the hands of the male lead named Grecan in countless lives.

I've had enough of this kind of life.

It's already my tenth life.

Mirania decided she would make a different choice this time.

She decided to assist Grecan, who would be the head of the wolves in the future. Starting by raising him from a young cub.

Mirania, who tried to tame Grecan perfectly by instilling herself into his memory as a benefactor.

“Grrr…”

“Now, be a good boy, okay?”

I smiled while looking at the cheeky wolf cub who's showing its teeth.

No matter how broken a story was, there's always an end to it.

By taming this wolf that couldn't distinguish between the front and back, this life, I'm determined to live in peace.

By the way…

Did I tame him too well?

"My beloved Mirania, please give birth to my child."

What appeared in front of Mirania, who opened her eyes, was Grecan, oozing a male scent on the subject of destroying her world. <<less

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 Carson 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 kinds 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 Carson, 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 Carson 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

“You’re not going anywhere. I’ve decided I’m going to have you.”... more>>

I’ve became 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
