I was executed for treason. When I opened my eyes again, somehow, I was thirty years in the future inside the body of one of my own descendants.... more>>

What’s left of the family? A mountain of debt. (Negative 833 billion won, to be exact.)

The only things crawling around are bugs and leeches.

The money and businesses I built up in my last life? Gone. Completely wiped out. Like Dorma** and Do**mamuda. Goddamn it!

*

All I wanted was to pay off the debt and become a rich, lazy bum. But then—

“What do I have to do to make it happen? I don’t want to be a contract dad but a full-time one.”

Why is the contract dad acting like this?

“I like Eve. I’m happy when I’m with Eve. Leon wants to live with Eve forever.”

“I promised Grandpa I’d protect you forever.”

Why are the siblings I’m not even blood-related to saying stuff like this?

“You were mine from the very beginning.”

“I tried everything to get it all back. Possession, reincarnation, necromancy, whatever it took to bring you back.”

Why are all these past-life ties tangled up around me like this?!

I just want to take back what’s mine and live in luxury like a rich, carefree slacker!

Tonight, once again, he yearned for her purification.... more>>

It had been an unhappy life.

Despite possessing the power of purification, Irene was deemed the lowest rank, never having received anyone’s love or acceptance in her short life. Even in her final moments, she died alone and lonely, yet strangely, she found herself back in the past.

And not just any past but right before meeting her husband, Michael, the man she had ruined.

‘This is the first mistake I must correct in this life. That is…not getting involved with Michael.’

*

However, Michael seems peculiar.

"I... I need you. Please purify me."

He asked for purification first.
A paladin, this holy man, comes to me every night.

"Irene. My pair. My wife. Tonight, I want to be cleansed by you. Long and slow."

You were definitely a paladin in a previous life who wouldn't even lay a finger on me, right? <<less

Yeon Dana, who possessed the body of ‘Danae Windsor,’ knows that the only way to return to her original world is through the dimensional gate. ... more>>

However, she gave up on returning because her loved ones cried and clung to her just before the gate that opened once every 100 years.

* * *
Three years later, All those who held onto Dana have changed.

“I have no intention of breaking our engagement. But I do plan to marry her as well.” Her fiancé, shamelessly committing adultery,

“It was just a joke, you know? I didn’t think you’d actually not go back.” Her younger brother confessed he held onto her as a prank.

“Did someone tie you up and prevent you from leaving?” Her cousin mocked her irresponsibly.

“The dimensional gate has closed. Dana, you can’t leave now! So, adapt quietly to this world!”

But Dana knows. She knows how to end this possession and return. Briefly saddened by the betrayal of her love, Dana burns with rage, preparing for revenge and escape.

These b*stards deceived me.

Really. This time, she wanted to live a good life.

You guys touched the wrong person.

She decides to return to her original world. At the moment, they believe Dana will stay by their side forever. <<less

My younger brother died.... more>>

And it happened inside the prestigious private school that I struggled so hard to get him into.

As I was crying in despair in front of his grave,

A strange man who claimed to be the student council president appeared and made an unbelievable offer.

"Would you like to go back one year if you could?"

He seemed like a swindler, but faced with sudden despair, I had no other choice.

I grasped at this rotten lifeline and hastily made a deal with him.

And surprisingly, I really did go back one year in time.

Without wasting time, I immediately transferred to that problematic private school. To protect my younger brother who was still alive.

But this school, the atmosphere is not right.

Ghosts and spirits appear all over the school, and 'ghost stories' occur.

Somehow, my brother seems to be connected to these strange phenomena.

Will I, Melody Hastings, be able to safely solve the ghost story, protect my younger brother, and get out of this school? <<less

The sweet life of being the Empire’s beloved youngest princess? I had to say goodbye to that—at least for now.... more>>

As part of the royal coming-of-age ceremony, I’m required to live for a year as someone else.

And just my luck, I pulled one of the worst roles possible: a low-ranking knight.

I was assigned to a knight order full of misfits with neither skill nor backing. Then, out of nowhere, my brother’s handsome friend Elias showed up as the new captain.

“I’m not supposed to let anyone find out who I really am… but what do I do if someone here already knows me?”

Q: Is that even allowed?

A: Sure~ As long as you don’t get caught.

I manage to keep my identity hidden and settle into knight life. But things get complicated when Elias keeps getting involved with the troublemaker “Chloe,” not knowing she’s actually his first love, Princess Violetta.

A racing heart. Cheeks that keep turning red.

There’s no mistaking it.

This is love.

My very first love.

“I lost my mother because of the boyfriend I devoted six years of my life to.”... more>>

For six long years, Haeyoung supported her boyfriend Seongjun, who was aimlessly chasing his dream of becoming an actor.

But as time passed, the kind and gentle man she knew began to change.

Then, due to Seongjun’s carelessness, Haeyoung’s mother gets into a critical accident.

While her mother is fighting for her life, Haeyoung finds Seongjun laughing it up with his female friend Minji, and confronts him.

“You think I skipped out on your mom on purpose? If she was that precious, you should’ve stuck to her side. Why are you blaming me?”

Rather than apologize, Seongjun coldly ends their relationship.

Soon after the breakup, Seongjun and Minji, almost like they’d planned it, appear together on a dating reality show called Love & Friendship.

They use Haeyoung as gossip fodder to stir up drama, becoming the center of attention and eventually gaining massive popularity.

Having lost her time, her mother, and her love, Haeyoung hits rock bottom.

Until she suddenly finds herself back in time, right before the accident.

“Mom, don’t come! Just stay put!”

Seizing this second chance, Haeyoung saves her mother and vows revenge on Seongjun and Minji.

She hatches a plan to sneak onto the same reality show and steal the spotlight they once basked in.

The only hitch? The show’s concept requires a friend pair, which means she needs a male best friend.

Not just any guy, but a charming, handsome one.

Then, she remembers the mysterious man she had run into on the day she saved her mother.

She makes a reckless proposal, half-joking, but to her surprise, Yoonhyuk accepts on the spot.

“Do you not have any friends better-looking than me?”

“I don’t. Ever heard of self-awareness? Looks like yours is broken.”

“Well, maybe I’m someone from your past. A childhood friend, perhaps? Someone who once saved your life. Try to remember.”

At the time, Haeyoung had no idea.

That he spoke like someone who had known her for a long time.

That the man she had staked her entire savings on… was actually a fourth-generation chaebol.

And so, Haeyoung and Yoonhyuk come face-to-face with Seongjun and Minji on Love & Friendship. <<less

It’s the era of Transmigration.... more>>

I wanted to possess a body of a rich young lady in a Rofan childcare novel, and live while receiving lots of love.

No. 1 to be avoided!

No. 1 in frustrating the reader!

I possessed someone inside an infinite return novel called: Return Until the World is Saved.

Forget being a young lady from a prominent family, I will soon be ruined because the survival difficulty of the original work is S-Class.

I became an extra. Ailette, the young daughter of a servant in the Count’s manor.

We are poor, but it’s a happy life between a kind brother and a good father.

I’ve got a best friend I’ve never made before because I was always busy.

Even the gods of the Transmigration Management Bureau are openly fond of me.

I’m living a life full of confidence.

On top of that, I accidentally bought the ‘After-Life Insurance’ full package just before my death.

I leveled up with the high-speed growth buff, and diligently destroyed the original plot.

Thanks to plenty of special privileges, I came to give satisfaction for all the frustrated readers of the original work.

“You wiped your face with your dirty hands.”

“…….”

“Don’t be surprised. It’s because I have an obligation to be kind.”

And then, there’s the protagonist who is still nothing more than a handsome push over, Thesilid.

I want my first kiss to be with you, Oppa. ... more>>

For the first time in my life, I feel a desire for a man. Taking off that chaste suit, stripping off the knit that so blatantly reveals his decadent chest...

"Ha. I'm going crazy."

"Who said anything about doing anything else? I just want to bury my face in your chest and sleep."

At first, because of the painting. Then, to secure my right to sleep. Next, because I liked the scent that stirred my distant memories.

Jiwoon needed this man. But now, she feels like she would die without him.

'How can I make this man mine?'

Thump. As the mattress bounced with the weight of both of them, her heart began to ride the waves. His black eyes stared at her intensely. Without avoiding his gaze, Jiwoon opened her lips.

"Put me to sleep."

In her clear eyes, there was an unwavering determination. <<less

“Ahaha! You’re a Princess and you act so proud, but look at you. Valdina was destroyed, and your brother was torn into pieces by demonic beasts. Because a s*upid like you!”

My brother died, and my country was destroyed. Even the children born from the embryo died at the hands of their father.

The moment I took the poison, realizing that all of this was a plan by my uncle’s family and my husband.

“I’m back… Again…”

I returned to the past 13 years ago. With my experience as a Kingmaker who established my husband as an Emperor in a fierce battle for the throne, and with memories of everything that will happen in the future, I was shocked and realized.

God has granted my last request.

“Claudio.”

All the glory given to my uncle will lose its luster.

“Jason.”

The glorious crown my husband desired would be taken away.

“I’m back.”

The prophecy that returned once in a lifetime shined in a gloomy light.

She was killed again.... more>>

Then she opened her eyes as a fallen noble, Eureia Craycia.

Normally, one would be confused in a moment like this, but…she was familiar with this situation, with this world.

Because she had once lived here and been mu*dered by unidentified wizards.

“I don’t want to die again!”

Eureia, who knew this world and was a hard-working adaptable person, wanted to regain her top position at the Merchant Guild, which was once hers, and get rid of her debts.

Seven years ago, she, the head of the Cheshire business suddenly disappeared, and her men now once again gathered at Eureia’s side.

“You look a lot like someone I know.”

“You seemed to be able to see through me just like her.”

“I feel uneasy. I’m afraid the master will like him more than me.”

Eureia, surrounded by obsessive men, approached the shocking truth that killed her seven years ago. <<less

“You must survive on your own in this mansion.”

… Or so she thought, but no!

“Bunny… is totally doomed…”

But Bunny, being a brilliant genius, was fine.

Because she had the ‘Genius Secret Diary’ that told her everything!

‘Dear, if you get adopted, you must find a guardian.’

“Handsome sir, will you take care of Bunny? Special discount if you adopt now!”

Following the diary’s advice, she found a guardian.

‘If you don’t know what to do, always open the secret diary.’

“On May 18th, 887 Imperial Year, an outbreak will occur in the southern Lubia territory?”

The diary also provided advanced information!

“My daughter is so adorably wiggly, isn’t she?”

“I feel like I wouldn’t mind being eaten by Bunny…”

“I’m Bunny’s eldest brother. Got it? Eld-est-bro-ther.”

Thus, Bunny conquered the duke’s house like that!

However, Bunny had another tremendous secret!

‘She’s so adorable. Why on earth is she positioned as a villainess?’

‘You should never expect love. Humans are all pushovers! Stick a straw in and suck them dry!’

‘… When you become a great adult, you’ll understand everything.’

Will Bunny be able to become a great adult as predicted by the Genius Secret Diary?!

"The Emperor contracting a romantic relationship with the heroine and then falling in love is something only high society would gossip about."

For a minor official in the imperial palace who couldn't even become an extra, whether I have to work overtime tomorrow is more important. Still, living diligently like a good citizen seemed to reward me with a handsome boyfriend...

Sasha, the sixth imperial princess, is preparing a coup against her tyrannical father.

She encounters Regen, the prince of an enemy nation—and her first love—who has been taken captive. She offers him an undeniable contract:

In exchange for restoring his power, he must pledge loyalty as her knight.

And together, they must survive the brutal Imperial Succession Contest—a deadly game orchestrated by a mad emperor who seeks to kill his own daughters.

---

"You saved my life, Sasha. How should I repay you?"

"No repayment is necessary."

"Why not?"

Just live. Stay by my side. That alone is enough of a battle.

But she couldn’t reveal her still-burning love.

So instead, she told a lie—hiding behind the memory of one of the sixty-seven brothers who had perished.

"Because... you resemble my dead brother."

---

"Shall I undress you?"

Come to think of it, this made sense.

If I am to take responsibility, I should do this with my own hands.

"…Ha, Sasha."

Regen let out a long breath—whether a sigh or a groan, she couldn't tell.

He watched her in silence before suddenly lifting her crystal glass from the table and pressing it to his lips.

A murmur laced with curiosity brushed against her ears.

"It really is non-alcoholic."

“Since we both made a mistake.”

“That’s absurd. I’m the one who got devoured, but you’re the only one making the decision.”

“Let’s date.”

“Oppa, are you in your right mind? Wh-why would we date?”

“If you’re seeing any guys, break up with all of them. Block them, whether they’re just partners or whatever.”

Yusom quickly made a calculation in her head. For now, she should buy some time by pretending to accept his proposal. The plan is to be as careful as possible until he gets tired of it and suggests breaking up.

“…Alright. I’ll do as you say, Oppa.”

As Yusom reluctantly answered, a faint smile of satisfaction brushed across Eungeon’s lips.

No! Our sister’s happy life must be protected by this brave dog!

But it’s not easy to get close to her.

“I hate meeting people—it’s tiring. Soon, I’m going to close the doors of the mansion.”

I quickly raised my short little hands,

and drew the biggest circle I could manage.

“I’m this strong!”

So please, Sister… can’t you be friends with me again?

I felt a little down because I couldn’t reveal my identity as Sister’s puppy or get closer to her.

But I’m a former brave puppy, and now a clever little schemer!

“…Third, I want you to play ball with me. Fourth, I want you to swim with me. Fifth, I want you to give me lots of sweet potatoes. Sixth, I want you to make sweet potato cakes with me in the kitchen. And seventh, I want you to let me eat the chocolate you never let me eat before…”

“You pulled off one great deed and now you’re trying to squeeze everything out of me…?”

“Yes!”

“You’re… an ambitious brat.”

“My Coco, you and I are going to be together for a hundred years, okay? Promise.”

“…I’m not saying this because I like you or anything, but… when you’re over twenty, uh, l-let’s get engaged. Not because I like you or anything! Don’t get the wrong idea!”

There were various modifiers for the villainess Odette Lina von Albrecht, who appeared in the 19+ corrupted reverse harem game.

A deceiver who deceived the Empire by pretending to be a purifier when she was not. A witch who committed evil deeds that were too evil to even speak of and toyed with the four male protagonists who were transcendent.

However, there was something that the players who played the game and the male protagonists who hated and pursued Odette didn't know.

"You are nothing more than a toy in our house. Since your master has decided to abandon you, you should die happily."

All of Odette's terrible evil deeds were not based on her will. However, that fact was never revealed. Because Odette, who was falsely accused, eventually met her death at the hands of the male protagonists.

It was definitely going to end like that.

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!

'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."

Laniakea, the royal princess scorned for her weak elemental power.... more>>

She always dreamed of escaping the contempt directed at her.

One day, a marriage proposal arrived from the Empire.

The suitor? Hyperion, the First Imperial Prince, with no political base or support to his name.

Laniakea willingly accepted the proposal.

She didn’t care who her husband would be, as long as she could leave her homeland.

*

Before the wedding, Laniakea saw the marriage contract presented to her.

[ The couple shall engage in interc**rse __ time(s) every __ for the purpose of producing an heir. ]

Fortunately, that clause remained incomplete, and the marriage proceeded as it was.

As expected, her husband only dined with her a few times a year and didn’t even stay in the Imperial Palace, returning to the borderlands instead.

For three years, this continued.

She thought she could quietly live out her days until another prince ascended to the throne, at which point she could leave the palace for good…

*

“The Second, Third, and Fourth Princes have all passed away!”

While everyone was reeling in shock, Hyperion returned to the Imperial Palace, swiftly brought order to the chaos, and ascended to the throne.

What the newly crowned Emperor needed now was a strong Empress to solidify imperial authority.

‘So, he’ll divorce me and remarry someone from a powerful family.’

That’s what she assumed…

“You summoned me…?”

“Yes. Because there’s something I must ask of you.”

With a resolute expression as if he’d made up his mind, Hyperion spoke seriously, causing Laniakea to swallow nervously.

‘The moment has finally come.’

“I know what you want. Don’t worry. I’m willing to comply with Your Majesty’s wishes.”

“…Is that so?”

She had no doubt that they were both thinking the same thing.

“Let’s sign the divorce agreement right away.”

“Let’s have a child right away—son or daughter, it doesn’t matter.”

It was then that Laniakea realized.

Her husband had something entirely different in mind. <<less
