For some reason, I find myself trapped in a game. The problem is, it’s a horror game without a hint of romance. Along with the protagonist and his friends, who are trapped in a castle sealed by vampires, “I” am destined to be crushed and killed.... more>>

Escaping from this castle is impossible by ordinary means.

Leaving together peacefully is also impossible.

So, I made up my mind.

†††††

▶ Marianne and Lars have fled somewhere. Everyone is frightened. What should I do?

1. Escape alone.

2. Chase after Marianne and Lars.

3. Stay put.

†††††

I decide to sneak away alone.

But even then, the protagonist comes after me.

“I was worried. It’s dangerous to wander alone, so let’s go together.”

The hand that holds me captive is firm and cold.

Wherever the protagonist goes, vampires always chase after us.

Because this bastard, who pretended to be so good-hearted, was actually the true villain.

The true master of this castle, who lured people in to feed the sealed vampires.

“I’m right here beside you. Don’t worry.”

…Someone, please save me! <<less

Will I transmigrate if I binge-read web novels for a year? ... more>>

Yes, I will. It just happened right now! But, main character or villain, being a supporting character would also be a good thing.

She became a supporting maid for an unnamed supporting extra, and a maidservant working under the direct maid of the Princess Rose Thorns.

“…I memorized until the end of the novel, but I can’t do anything?”

Having no idea herself, she was humming ‘I want to be the Queen’s doormat’ one day while mopping.

“Would you like to stay by my side and have you sing and dance? Wouldn’t that be better than a doormat?”

… Somehow, I became the Princess’ play for amus**ent?

“Alright, let’s do our best to help the Princess! I will save her when the unlucky Princess Trillinia harasses the Princess, and let her walk on the flowery path. No need to worry about the other Princes, you can just push them away. Let’s just help the Second Prince and not die!”

It has been a long time since I felt the will to live.

“It would be nice if I could meet my favorite character, the Fifth Prince. Hehe.”

Until the day when she won’t have to succumb to the trifling possession matters and be with her favorite Fifth Prince!

Haon’s trivial journey begins. <<less

In the year I turned 13, my adoptive father brought home the most beautiful and unfortunate monster in the world.

***

‘No, Billie. I don’t know how to live without you.’

An ecstatically soft voice pierced my ears.

Despite the gentle tone, my legs couldn't move as if I was caught in a trap, so I couldn't run away any further.

‘You promised that you would love me even if I break down. You said it's okay even if I become a mess.’

The man who had gone completely crazy hugged my waist affectionately.

“Even if I have to start over from scratch, everything is fine as long as I have you, Billy.”

Helios smoothly lifted my chin and whispered.

'So if you leave me, I'll start everything from the beginning. How about that? The choice is yours.'

What kind of choice is that?

… Those words did not come out until the end.

The beautifully crazy guy's eyes were sparkling in an unusual way. <<less

The youngest princess of the mermaid kingdom who had lived all her life under her father’s excessive protection.... more>>

Viviane’s natural habitat were these underwater depths, yet somehow, it felt as if she was going to drown.

The day of her mating period, she secretly climbed to the water’s surface,

And she fell in love with the most radiant male on the land.

Vivi, desperately wanting to reach him, made a dangerous deal with the witch…

“If you become pregnant with that male’s offspring once the red moon rises, you will be able to transform into one of them—a human.”

She thought she could reach the radiant male with her temporary legs.

Until one day, she saw traces of stuffed mermaids in the mansion’s most suspicious room.

Right then, she realized that she had been caught in a trap. <<less

The Tezen ducal family, wielding the utmost power, and O’Hara County, possessing all the wealth in the world—their union could not have been more perfect than this.... more>>

Except there was no burning love.

“Evangeline O’Hara is a prepared duchess. It would be troublesome to find another woman now, and there is no guarantee that she would do as well as Evangeline.”

For Dekarno, there was no Duchess better than her.

So, if it was only about bankruptcy, he could bear with it.

However, she couldn’t.

“Let’s put an end to this, now.”

“…Are you suggesting canceling the engagement?”

“Yes.”

Evangeline had given up everything she had brought so far and now walked away barehanded.

By relinquishing everything, she could let go of that man, too.

Even the feelings she had held alone.

“I liked you, Your Grace.”

“….”

“No way. Your Grace didn’t think I was only coveting the position of Duchess, did you?”

How could she leave so easily after claiming she liked him? Dekarno couldn’t understand, and his anger boiled inside.

The increasingly entangled events, the complicated thoughts—all of it traced back to that woman.

In the end, there was no choice but to put everything back in its place.

He set out to find Evangeline, who was desperately trying to stand on her own.

“You claim you’ll survive. It’s unbearable for a mere human like me to endure.” <<less

The chains that bound both arms tightly. During that time when a thirst and pain seemed to squeeze the heart. Gasping for breath in shallow breaths.... more>>

"It's like a living sacrifice,"

Her gaze met eyes resembling a brilliant dawn.

A man with a face and voice as if created by God approached and spoke.

"It's clearly a violation of imperial law."

The crimson moon eyes that seemed poised to devour her.

A distorted moonlight.

That gaze was etched like a scar into her. So much so, to an unforgettable degree.

However, ever since she met that man, someone keeps appearing in her dreams.

A strangely tender and longed-for figure.

* * *

A single blue butterfly, scattering light like a fantasy, whispered a tale from the distant memories.

‘Do you know, Ren? They say a person who sacrifices themselves for the world is called a hero.’

A voice as familiar as it was strange, resembling the depths of the night sea.

‘But wouldn't it be better to sacrifice the world itself, than sacrifice yourself for the sake of this insignificant world?’

The person who kissed her gently and cautiously with eyes full of sorrow, Radiating like the sun, the one who made her give her all.

As ephemeral and beautiful as a midsummer night's dream...

The intense, passionate, and sparkling moment vividly came to mind. <<less

I found myself reincarnated into a spin-off where my favorite character from the novel dies and her son becomes the male lead.... more>>

Of all things, I’ve possessed the villainess who dies a wicked death by execution, the fiancée of the male lead, Lyla Brilston! The only fortunate thing is that it’s still the male lead’s childhood.

“I refuse to die like this! First, I’ll crush my death flag and then try to save the life of my favorite character!”

By using information from the book, I managed to assist the Northern Alliance and befriended the male lead, who was as icy as a spear.

Unlike the original Lyla, I even gained special abilities and intended to peacefully indulge in fandom….. until suddenly, the male lead starts interfering with my fangirling?!

* * *

After the coming-of-age ceremony and meeting the female lead of the spin-off, it seems it’s my turn to step back, so I offered a divorce decree to Calix. His eyes grew cold at the sight of the divorce decree.

“Divorce? Who decided that?”

“We were engaged, remember?”

Calix ominously froze the divorce decree before burning it again. The divorce decree vanished like an illusion.

“So, you’re just going to leave me and go to someone else? You’d rather fawn over our mother? Go ahead. I have no intention of letting you go.”

The only thought that came to mind at the sight of Calix’s persistent gaze was one. It seemed that I had twisted the original story too much, causing the male lead to seem subtly insane. <<less

I found myself transmigrated into an explicit 19+ novel.... more>>

“If Chloe gets pregnant now, it’ll be troublesome.”

“…She might be pregnant though.”

“But didn’t the examination results say otherwise?”

“We can’t always exclude the possibility of ‘what if,’ can we?”

Throughout the overheard conversation, my heart felt like it would burst from my chest. I had a gut feeling.

Dante’s next response would tear me to shreds.

“…We have to kill her.”

That man is the secondary male lead of this novel and my husband.

I decided to leave for my own sake. <<less

One sunny and beautiful day.... more>>

Nicole decided to end her husband’s life.

A husband who dragged and forced her to become his wife, and locked her up.

A husband who has put her whole family in misery.

But she didn’t know then.

She didn’t expect all that to be an irrevocable mistake.

***

In her first life, he taught her hate.

In her second life, he taught her the pain of an unrequited love.

In her first life, she was his only wife.

In her second life, she became his most loyal confidant.

In her first life, she aided and abetted his pain, she ended his life.

In her second life, now she’s trying to save him.

I entered a fairytale world. I wasn’t really surprised. Let’s try pretending to be from this world now. However, there was one thing I overlooked. Fairy tales are also novels!... more>>

I entered the fairy tale ‘Cinderella’. But fortunately or unfortunately, there are so many unknown stories.

The stepmother and the sisters are kind, the prince is the crown prince and there are so many scandals.

Well, that was fine. Because he was a villain, it was better than the terrifying ending.

“I can’t stand it!”

The problem is that the female lead is a young girl trying to marry the prince, in fact, I, who possessed the female lead’s older sister, am sick and tired of hearing her complaining!

I’ll figure it out somehow and enjoy a happy life!

…That’s what I thought.

“…..Is that a lip mark on your collar?”

“Lady Hizna! Are you strangling me?”

“The marriage proposal has arrived. Sasha.”

I just wanted to stop my younger sister, but why do things keep getting so messed up!? <<less

I reincarnated as the Grand Duke’s fake daughter.... more>>

“Live as though you’re a dead rat. If you dare tarnish the family name, I’ll tear you apart.”

In place of the real daughter, the fake that had been adopted turned out to be a troublemaker.
Though even if I use my own hands to ruin the family’s reputation, it was already a mess in the first place.

Let’s not worry about it. It’s a household that would fall to ruin in eight years anyway, so I plan to just save up a whole lot for my escape fund. But then…

“You’re the bad one, but why do I keep feeling like this?”
“Do not tarnish the family name, that’s what I said. But who told you to be so disgracefully hurt like this?”
“The owner of the name Ophelia—it’s you. Without a doubt.”

Why are you all doing this to me when it’s time for me to leave?
Besides that, wasn’t it with the real daughter that you all wanted to grow old with for like a hundred years?

‘Why… Is the luck that I have in my later years so terrible?’

* * *

“My eyes, they’re unpleasant. Because they’re black…”

With a blank expression, I looked down at the villainous mastermind, who was still young at this moment.

“Unpleasant?”

Those dark eyes, with a radiant brilliance,
Like a flowing river,
So far ahead and so invigorating that they could feed the entire nation.
No matter how ragged he looked and regardless of how much of a beggar he seemed, they could not be hidden.

‘The eyes of an emperor.’

And more than that… It's no joke how amazing his luck will be in his later years.
To the extent that I wouldn’t mind betting my entire life on him. <<less

The youngest Princess of the Grand Duchess family, the villain of the novel…... more>>

…..Live under the guise, she fell in love with her fiancé, the world’s most handsome man.

“Prince, I love you!”

“I was only engaged to repay the favor. I won’t fall for you, young lady.”

But even if she devoted everything, there was no law that everything would unconditionally work.

She learned it and turned away.

However.

“Oh, let’s break the engagement!”

“I love you. I realized too late.”

You know, when people give you a chance, you have to seize it.

If you don’t want to hang on and cry like this Prince. <<less

I fell into the ultimate noir* BL novel.... more>>

I was also the obsessive maniac and villainess who fell in love with the boss of The Hundred Thousand and brutally died during the main characters’ first meeting!

I thought I’d change the love between the two, which originally ended with the death of my bias due to schemes, into a happy ending,

“Join me. To hell.”

What? I’ve been kidnapped by my favorite character.

‘You’re my bias.’

‘But this is too much.’

To survive a life-turning event that is similar to the novel, I tried to seduce my bias a little. Just to the point where he would be sad to kill me.

“Why do you like me so much?”

Yet something wasn’t right.

“Try running away Princess, if you can.”

“I’m blind about you right now, and I’m going crazy.”

The male lead’s boyfriend began to cling to me.

“Please, Yeonbyeol…”

“Don’t leave me alone…”

Too dangerous and dizzying, there’s no way to escape.

*Noir is, according to Google, “A genre of crime film or fiction characterized by cynicism, fatalism, and moral ambiguity.” <<less

Evelyn was a stranger and didn’t share a drop of blood with them.... more>>

There was no place for an impostor who acted as a replacement for the sake of the graceful main character.

‘If I’m meant to be kicked out and killed anyway, I choose to leave on my own two feet over experiencing a miserable death again!’

* * *

Evelyn spoke simply, attempting to disguise her dismay at the unexpected meeting.

“Young Master, it’s been a while.”

“…Young Master?”

“Addressing you as ‘Elder Brother’ might be–”

“I’m—”

It happened in a split second. Ethan approached her rapidly from a few feet away and stood nose-to-nose before her.

“That’s right. I’m not your elder brother.”

Burning emotions flared in his crystalline-clear eyes.

Evelyn winced when she noticed it.

“Even if we don’t see one another often, the fact that I’m your elder brother and you’re my sister will not change.”

He used to utter such things in a sweet voice, but everything changed, now that he knows they don’t have a single drop of blood in common. <<less

In this life, I was born with a gold spoon in my mouth. I thought my future would be bright.... more>>

As a matter of fact, I didn’t realize that the place I reincarnated into was a discontinued R-19 tragic BL novel that my friend wrote.

And of all things, I became the older twin sister of Lisandro, the crazy obsessive yandere male lead who horribly, brutally mu*dered the sickly prisoner Frey at the end of the novel.

If I didn’t remember this, I would have just jumped into the sunset, blissfully unaware…

***

“Noona.”

With a suitcase in one hand, I flinched and looked behind me. The mysteriously beautiful Frey came towards me with a bright smile on his lips.

In no time, he towered over me with his tall, lean body.

“Where are you going?”

“Um.”

“Where?”

Don’t ask.

I wanted to say this firmly, but I just wore a smile instead. Frey, who kept staring me, tried to grab my suitcase.

Taken aback, I held onto it tightly. In return, I heard a refreshing, clear laugh.

“Let me hold it for you.”

“No, I’m fine.”

“Why? Oh, I get it. You’re trying to escape. Am I getting in your way?”

The hand holding the suitcase flinched. As he looked at me with an eerie smile, he looked exceedingly dangerous the more he stared. There was ice glistening behind his golden irises.

“You thought I wouldn’t know.”

His large hand wrapped around mine and held the suitcase handle tightly.

“Just to avoid me and that bastard, you’re trying to run away.”

His harsh words didn’t match his aloof expression.

“It’ll spell trouble, Yuni. If you disappear from my sight.”

The gentle and feeble, sickly prisoner suddenly became an obsessive yandere himself. <<less

Sirens: a name derived from an ancient creature, used to describe those who could charm, lure, control, and heal others by singing.... more>>

Subjected to live the life of a siren, Aria had experienced, seen, and heard many horrific things. Broken beyond repair, Aria resigned herself to death, when suddenly…

The Grand Duke, Lloyd Cardence Valentine, arrived and whispered, “Should I kill everyone here?”

“If you need me, just call me. Your song will always reach me, wherever you are.”

In the end, Aria called the devil, bringing death to all those present, along with herself.

“Let’s fall down to hell together.”

And with that, Aria breathed her last and died… only to return to her 10-year-old self.

Now that she had a second chance at her life, Aria was determined to change her fate, as well as the cruel fate of her saviour, Grand Duke Valentine.

And so… Aria proposed to him with a marriage contract.

She sold her soul to the devil and vowed to protect him.

[Marry me.] Aria extended her hand and gave him the contract. [Let’s get divorced in 10 years…]

The young duke took the contract from her hand.

“So, where should I stamp the seal?”

* * *

“You said you’d divorce me within 10 years.”

The grown-up villain leaned in, hovering his head before he kissed her tenderly over her crown.

“Now that we’re adults, we should sign another contract.” <<less
