After she’d threatened the male lead’s father into marriage, I possessed the villainess Evelia. In the original, she was kicked out after bullying the young male lead.... more>>

“Let’s break up.”

“…What are you saying?”

“The Duke doesn’t like me either, so I don’t want this marriage.”

I didn’t want to get caught up in the original story so I asked the male lead’s father for a divorce. Except…

“Once we got engaged, you became mine. I won’t break off this marriage.” The man who was supposed to despise me refuses.

“Are you sure you can’t be Ruth's mom? Is it because you don’t like Ruth?” Even the original male lead cried and begged me to be his mother.

Why the hell is everyone acting like this? <<less

I was born with it.
The golden blood that can revive the dead.... more>>

Living deprived of freedom, yet holding onto the hope of someday seeing the sea, I spent each day.

Until I met the boy dying alone in the forest.

"You're not one of my people. Who are you?"
"S-Se...secret."

From that intertwined fate, waves began to ripple through my quiet daily life, much like a still lake.

"Outside is dangerous, Seri. Always be careful! Why is this simple request so difficult for you?"

Little by little,

"I am a liar, little miss."

Little by little,

"Of course. From the moment you became mine, I belong to you."

Little by little.

Until finally, everything surrounding me reversed, swallowed mercilessly by that enormous wave.

"Hush."

The girl who didn't want to become an adult and the boy who had to become one,

"Ru, no, Your Highness, I want to propose a contractual engagement."
"Go on, say it once more."

Finally embracing the tangled destiny, they became adults. <<less

“Of course! I’ll have to keep savoring the taste until I die. Do you want one?”

She was reincarnated in a novel as Luana, the abandoned princess.

And her death was already decided.

She just wanted to let people know about her cooking talent, but she was misunderstood as a witch because of her cheese jerky!

The General of the conquering army, Duke Legion, who had lost his sense of taste, took her to the Empire for her extraordinary jerkies and to break the curse that had come down from generation to generation.

“It is delicious, isn’t it?”

“Prepare the same for the dinner.”

She was happy to be able to cook and eat as much as delicious food as she wanted…

But now, she also wanted to look after Legion.

‘Eat three meals a day, and make sure to make dessert. I’m sure he will be able to gain some weight…!’

–

The Duke took the jerky from the princess. On the surface, it was no different from any beef jerky.

But when he took a bite of it, it felt like a new world had opened up.

The jerky, made by the princess, felt more tender than the others as he gently crushed it with his teeth.

The taste of condensed meat smudged his tongue as he chewed on. It was just as she said.

He could feel the savory taste of the spicy meat, and at the end of the day, he wanted to have more.

The desire that he had, faded for a while.

“I didn’t really want anything, but now I think I do.” <<less
