For ten years, I lived thinking I had been abandoned by my family. By the time I realized it was a misunderstanding, it was already too late.

"It has been revealed that you were a member of the Caelum pirate crew! Surrender with your hands up!"

My father, Nereus, the captain of the Caelum, was captured by the navy and died before my eyes. Somehow, the navy I had loyally served until now also turned against me. I had no intention of becoming a scapegoat for their 'justice.'

So, I chose death...

At least, I thought I did.

"Lala!"

When I came to, I had returned to twenty years ago.

"...Dad?"

A miracle had occurred.

* * *

Caelum will fall within twenty years.

Because of an unknown spy.

To catch the spy who must have been hiding on the ship for at least ten years and to protect my family, I needed to have enough authority and position.

'It's okay now, because there's something I can do.'

With that, I proudly declared to Nereus,

"I'm going to be a doctor."

"A doctor?"

"Yes, the ship's doctor. I'll become the ship's doctor and treat everyone when they're sick."

Nereus stared at me with wide eyes at my admirable proclamation as a six-year-old, then...

"Ahahahahahaha!"

He laughed loudly.

...

What a troublesome person. <<less

Everyone has that one boss they'd love to knock down to a peg. But usually, you just… can't.... more>>

"How unfortunate, Officer Amboise."

Especially if your boss is none other than Grand Duke Curtis Shan Berk, second in line to the throne and a renowned war hero. 

Chloe Amboise faced that daily reality and shame, but a golden opportunity arose.

The King, seeking to curb the Grand Duke's growing power, ordered him to marry a foreign noble.

"Chloe Amboise and I have started dating recently."

"M-me?"

In the rush of the moment, Grand Duke Berk lied and pointed out Chloe—a minor aide—as his lover.

"…It's true. His Grace proposed to me not long ago."

Chloe matched the Grand Duke's words instantly. Of course, she had her hidden agenda. 

Just like that, and ignoring each other's true intentions, Chloe and Grand Duke Curtis suddenly found themselves parading as the kingdom's newest power couple.

"Thanks. I'll give you whatever you ask."

'Yes!' Chloe Amboise's face beamed to the point her eyes became two crescent moons.

"Then first—"

"...."

"Get on your knees, Your Grace."

'You don't want to? Do you hate it? If you don't like it, then just get married.'

The kingdom's most handsome man's face crumpled upon those two options.

She felt like tearing up in excitement. <<less

Sooin, who had been juggling various part-time jobs since the incident three years prior, one day takes on a "fake boyfriend" gig for Song Jaeyi, a guy five years his junior.... more>>

"You're an alpha, right?"

"You look like the kind of person my father would hate the most."

How can someone be so rude while still using formal language? Sooin's competitive spirit was strangely piqued. Acting childishly in return, despite knowing there was nothing to gain, Sooin gestured towards Jaeyi's pants.

"Is everything working down there? I consider that important in a relationship."

"Are you crazy? Why are you worried about that?"

"I thought I'd offer some help, since we're supposed to be lovers."

"Can you back up your words?"

From their first meeting, a strange tension sparks between the two, and after impulsively sleeping together, a subtle bond forms.

However, on the very day they're supposed to act as a fake couple, Sooin presents as an omega and misses the appointment. He tries to forget about Song Jaeyi, thinking of it as a brief, one-time incident...

"f*ck, Sunbae didn't keep his promise."

A fierce expression glared at Sooin.

"Take responsibility for me." <<less

Here’s a three-line summary of my past and present lives:... more>>

Past life: A cheating, indecisive husband, a vicious mother-in-law, and a brother-in-law who called himself a “man of ripe charm.”

Present life: The opposite of that husband, the opposite of that mother-in-law, and the opposite of that brother-in-law.

Satisfied.

*

“You’re really lucky, huh? What kind of mother-in-law in this world lives nearby and does all the daughter-in-law’s work like a servant?”

After enduring mistreatment from my in-laws and a cruel marriage, I died the day I found out my husband was cheating.

But when I woke up, I was in a regret-based romance novel—as the villainess and the fiancée of the regretful male lead?

If I stay like this, I’ll end up just like before—mistreated by my in-laws and husband until I get kicked out.

But I had absolutely no intention of repeating my past life.

This time, I plan to live a wealthy, peaceful life on my estate—no husband, no in-laws, just me and my handsome commoner lover, along with the inheritance from my parents!

Step one: peacefully break off the engagement with the male lead.

I was just trying my best not to offend my prospective in-laws, the most powerful family in the empire, when—“Mother.”

“Did you just call me ‘Mother’?”

“Ah, no, that was… I misspoke—”

“You misspoke? No, you said it just right.”

“…?”

“Well done. It sounds lovely. From now on, call me ‘Mother.’”

…Why do you like me this much?

“Dain…?”

And now my awful mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and cheating ex-husband from my past life…?

Why are you all here? <<less

I broke off my friendship with my childhood friend due to my fiancé's manipulations.... more>>

Eight years later, in a moment where I nearly lost my life, trapped by the fiancé's schemes—

"Run, Your Highness!"

"...Kayan?"

The one I had cut off so suddenly had returned.

"Don't cry. You'll look really ugly if you do."

With a farewell in the familiar tone of our childhood, he died in my place. As I watched him die, I made a vow.

'I will never live like this again.'

***

So, I turned back time. The problem? I returned to a year after I had already broken off my friendship with Kayan!

Still, I couldn't let the tragedy of my past life repeat itself. This time, I was determined to live fearlessly.

First, I gave my bullying half-sibling a taste of rough revenge.

"Aaaaagh! Did you just stab me with a sword?!"

"Oh my, look at that! You're not dead yet, huh?"

Then, I sent a rough letter to my brother, who was off at war, requesting a break-up with my fiancé: [Just send me the breakup letter without any excuses. If not, I'll kill everyone and lock myself up in prison.]

And most importantly... I had to clear up the misunderstanding with Kayan!

"I want to be your best friend again, like we were before."

"Yes, I appreciate Your Highness's kindness."

"I'll work hard to regain the trust I lost."

"Yes, I appreciate Your Highness's efforts."

Kayan, wounded and guarded, was not going to be easy to win back... 'I've even come back through time—there's no way I can't break down this wall!'

Just wait. I will definitely become your friend again! <<less

Oh, it's a misunderstanding! My brothers are kind and good people!... more>>

I've been reincarnated as the sister of a crazy villain who gets executed.

But, are my brothers really villains? Even though it's before their dark transformation, aren't they way too gentle?

Let's twist the original story and protect my family's lives!

After years of hard work to maintain my brothers' pure hearts,

at this point, they just seem like wealthy extras!

But then, one day, the friends who came to my brother's birthday party...

Why are they all Villain 1, Villain 2... up to Villain 5?

I had to figure out how to survive among these potential villains who were having too much fun together without a care in the world.

L-let's stop them from turning dark for now... <<less

‘Anything beautiful belongs to me. Every last piece.’... more>>

Louisa Messena, the scandalous villainess from the ruined Duchy.

From a young age, she was surrounded by finery and immersed in the arts, raised with opulence as her norm. Even after her house crumbled, she clung to the remnants, gambling, drinking, and drowning in excess.

She chased beauty with a hunger.

And what she adored the most were men.

Charming. Striking. Irresistible men.

But that hunger for perfection would one day script her downfall, ending in her public execution.

—That’s the legacy tied to the body I now occupy.

But frankly, that tragic tale held no meaning for me.

I didn’t care about romance novels or soul possession. My world was built around one obsession.

And that was performance.

Because in my reality, only the script, the stage, the cast, and the crowd mattered.

“If kissing me is what you want, just say so, Director. That’s why you cast me as the male lead and played the heroine yourself, right?”

The ever-defiant, dangerously flirtatious actor...

“As I thought… you’re someone who could only ever love the stage. But that’s fine. Use me as you wish. I won’t resist, I’ll let you.”

And as for the fiancé who blurred love with obsession, he was never the real plot. <<less

One day, in a continent ruled by the Black Dragon, ‘Possessors’ who disturbed the peace began to appear.... more>>

From those who tried to seduce the Crown Prince saying, “I’m your first love that you lost in childhood.”

To those traveling alone to the North to meet the Duke, “I know the future, so let’s have a contract marriage.”

Even appearing before the Black Dragon and declaring, “I will slay the evil dragon!”

Finally, the dragon, unable to tolerate it anymore, eliminated the possessors, and the continent seemed to gradually return to peace…

Then the 33rd possessor appeared in the small kingdom of Belfast.

Unlike the previous possessors, this one had no interest in the Crown Prince or the Northern Duke,

“When you reach Diamond tier, money just rolls in!” and instead was planning to pull off one big scam before escaping to the Imperial capital…

“Aaaagh!!”

One day, like divine punishment, lightning struck the 33rd possessor.

In that moment, the real Anais, who had fallen asleep looking forward to her 19th birthday, returned.

“Anais was struck by lightning?”

And she pulled off a massive scam??

Me, the princess of Belfast?

“Anais is going to faint…”

However before Anais could faint, Elliot, the Captain of the Dragon Knights who eliminates possessors, burst in.

“Come with me quietly!”

No! It wasn’t me!

They’re gone! They left! I’m telling you they left! <<less

I possessed the body of the heroine in a regret-filled story. The real daughter, yet treated as a fake—destined to die miserably. The fools around me were only supposed to realize the truth and regret it after my death.... more>>

But—

Now that I know the truth, should I still live like a pushover?

No way.

I decided to be cunning to avoid living like a tragic heroine.

If they pretended to be pitiful, I would act even more pitiful. If they falsely accused me, I would feign innocence and turn the tables. Using my past life’s acting skills, I twisted the story however I pleased… and suddenly, everyone started acting strangely?

“I want to fix our relationship, even now. Will you return to the family?”

My family, who never regretted anything before my death, suddenly clung to me, crying.

“Ayla… I finally realized. I truly love you.”

Even my ex-fiancé started making heartfelt love confessions.

“Ayla, you saved my life. I want to dedicate the rest of it to you.”

Why is the sub-male lead, who I only meant to use temporarily, acting like this now?

Please, stop. I never intended to drag your lives into my revenge. <<less

Returnee VS Possessor... more>>

God hates me.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have had everything taken away to this extent.

When I finally found an abandoned mine that was said to have magical energy flowing through it:

"Oh my, how unfortunate. A high-ranking person made the exact same proposal yesterday."

The day before I could place a deposit, someone beat me to it.

When I created a hunter's guild by feeding and housing the homeless:

"We want to try advancing in life, too. We'll repay your kindness in the next life."

A noble family took them away by offering them a large sum of money and promising knighthood.

Still, I didn't give up.

I was going to spend all my remaining wealth to buy a painting.

"You have a good eye. Will the empire's citizens think so too?"

"I'll make sure they do."

But right before finalizing the contract, the artist unilaterally broke our agreement.

A life of misfortune where everything failed.

At the moment I reached the end, that woman appeared.

"When I was confused about the details, I just watched your moves. And in the final moment, I was just a little faster."

The one person who stole all my plans, Grace Servais.

"The person I used as a benchmark was you all along, Iris."

She was a possessor.

*************************

After fighting and getting entangled with her, I returned to when I was eighteen.

With all my memories intact.

"I see. So that's how it was."

I muttered to myself while standing in front of the mirror.

"I really did have everything, didn't I?"

Grace, now I understand, just a little bit, why you were so confident.

Knowing the world's secrets truly was a powerful weapon. <<less

I reincarnated into a grimdark fantasy's villainous noble house.... more>>

And not just anyone-I'm the illegitimate daughter of the duchess, who's rumored to be a half-wit and unable to even walk properly.

"Who are you calling 'big brother'?! Address me as 'young master'!"

But everyone's been deceived by my mother's lies.

The illegitimate child isn't me, it's the eldest son of the house, Boris Rohia, the little tyrant of House Rohia who used to torment me relentlessly.

"Lately, I've been thinking... we might be a bit alike."

Even my second brother, Joseph, who's the only one that ever looked out for me, is destined to become the main lead's worst nightmare and a top-tier psychopathic mastermind.

"Hahaha! At last, it's born! [Materia] !"

And to top it all off, I'm actually the prophesied savior of the world...

...except because I've been mistaken for an illegitimate child, the newborn youngest sibling, Yubel, is believed to be the savior instead.

'What the f*ck.'

The whole world is out to screw me over!

But I won't go down without a fight.

With a smile, I grit my teeth. <<less

The Duke Theonis had already come to capture her. However, the more time Melody spends with him, the harder it becomes to hate him.

“Do you think I feel pain from a mere wound like this? Stop wasting time pretending to care and get back to your work.”

His harsh words are just a cover for his expectations,

Though, this constellation was a little weird.

And in addition, she even has an unrequited love with the male lead. It was ruined.

It was nice to have the first meeting with such a young male lead…

“Hello, Bouser Youngae (Polite way for noble’s daughter)”

“Uwa!!” You were mistaken for a girl and you cried?

Fortunately, she managed to resolve the misunderstanding and become close friends. However, the male lead in his childhood is more shy and soft-hearted than I thought.

Eventually, she became attached to the male lead and decided to become a real friend.

However, due to the disturbance of the male lead’s father and the that war broke out, we had to be separated for a long time, I thought I could barely meet him again and stay the same as before but….

“Your eyes must have dropped a lot since I didn’t see you. Princess Averine!”

What’s wrong with him again?!

It’s not just that. Rather than getting along, he keeps get into trouble when he has a chance, and most of all, he even bothers my love business!!

He was the villain male lead who would later destroy the empire.
Why do you prepare that while doing other people’s housework. I put on a very harmless smile.

“Unfortunately, you have not passed due to your document…”
“Do you not like me?”

I was overwhelmed and frightened by the eerie eyes that sank lower and lower.

“I-it was actually a pressure interview. Pass.”
“What shall I do first, landlady? I’m good at housework, but I’m also good at other things.”

The man who suddenly changed into a friendly person gently showed a charming eye smile.

“I’d be happy to work the night as well.”
“What did you say?”
“I mean working overtime.”

He was very much desperate.

There's nothing in this world she can't possess. Because there's nothing money can't do.

For instance…….

"Give me Celestian Teriosa."

The continent's best swordsman, the kingdom's most handsome prince, a Grand Duke with a ghost island. His flaw? He's the villain who commits treason to win the female lead and dies in the ending.

"Sell that traitor to me."

But what does that matter? This is inside a novel, and all Daphne has is money.

I'll save my abandoned favorite with money.

Since there's no way a side male character could love a possessed villainess, Daphne planned to tease him thoroughly and then discard him mercilessly once she'd had her fill.

So, that was really the plan, but…….

He let go of the doorknob and wrapped a handful of Daphne's wet hair around his hand.

3. Run away from the villain who will cause the family to collapse

Under the guidance of her obstinate father, Seizel had been living as ’the most perfect lady in the world’ until her demise as an unexpected mu*derer.

That very day when her miserable ten-year-long imprisonment was about to end with her beheading, her second life commenced.

I’m just not gonna give a f*ck!

I’ll screw them over before they screw me over!

I’ll chew them up and spit them out before they can leech off me!

No more Ms. Nice Girl. Now, Seizel decided to live however she wants!

While she was at it, she planned to become the greatest con artist who swindles the empire itself, and picked up some former cellmates to get the second act of her life going…

Why does it seem like the world’s gonna end when I’ve just made up my mind!

“……Open your eyes, you fine lad. I need to get my money’s worth.”

For a world that’s easier to exploit!

As a final, bite-the-bullet act of charity, she took in and patched up ’The Empire’s Last Guardian’ Duke Leviaus, saving him from the brink of death. Now, all he has to do is bring glory to the empire……

Wow. What kind of a sucker is this?

The person who saved him is me, yet I’m about to be done dirty by randos, hell no.

“As long as you pay the promised fees on time, I will act as the perfect duchess for a year.”

“That would not be necessary. Everything in this house belongs to Your Ladyship anyway.”

But this man was a sucker of another level that was never before seen or heard. Courteous, pushy, clingy.
