My wicked mother brought a girl one day.... more>>

She was the Duke’s hidden daughter, Loretta, the heroine of [Duke’s Four Children].

I am Melody, the villainess who was punished with my mother for harassing her.

I don’t want to die like that, so I have to treat her well now.

I fed Loretta, put her to sleep, and played with her.

And then her response was…?

“I hope Melody marries Loretta!”

The endless barrage of affection led me to join her back to the duke and she said, “I’ll stick close to Ms. Melody.”

Have you met someone who is a ‘Fool for Melody’ more than her?

Why am I being loved when I’ve only been kind enough to make myself live peacefully….! <<less

"He warned me not to touch you till his dying breath. Isn't it amusing? I believed it was a forced marriage."... more>>

The trampled heir to the throne, Yvon Calvester. When Esmeralda saw her husband's severed head tumbling on the floor, she understood everything.

It wasn't our relationship that went wrong; it was my life decision to choose the wrong Emperor.

"What if I were your Master? Will you be my schemer at that time?"

That's why, if she had another life, she'd toss everything away. She wouldn't be his wife this time, but rather his strategist.

But why do you keep forgetting?

"This isn't our first kiss."

"Viceroy…?"

"If you're going to refuse, do it now."

Will I end up following the same path again, am I?

He wrapped his arms around Esmeralda's neck and pulled her closer.

"I certainly gave you a chance."

–So you can't run away. The scarlet eyes filled with desire seemed to say so. <<less

Beatty, a weak squirrel shapeshifter who was born into a lion family.... more>>

Because of that, I lived my life being abused at my aunt’s house in the Capital.

When I told my only friend and fiancé, the Second Prince, that I would leave to achieve my dream,

‘Ritter, you bastard…!’

I died on his fangs.

I opened my eyes again to my childhood, the time before I got myself involved with the Second Prince.

At times like this, what do you need? Speed.

I immediately withdrew my body only and ran away to the territory of my biological father, the Lion Duke.

Though I won’t be welcomed, if I possess this one great secret that will only be discovered in the future, I won’t get kicked ou—

“Welcome, Young Miss!”

“OMG! When did you grow up like this…?”

“Young Miss is walking with those two cute feet!”

… Huh? Why am I welcomed like this?

No way, is that my statue? <<less

“Everything that sparkles is mine.”... more>>

It’s been 10 years since I took on the role of Gemma, a jewel-stealing thief in a game with extreme difficulty.

Today, I was doing the stealing that the system told me to do to avoid a bad ending…

“Gotcha.”

“Huh?”

I was caught by Inspector Raven Hunt, the investigator who was persistently pursuing me.

[Enter the bad ending route.]

‘System! Give me one more chance!’

However, it was not the system that gave me a chance to live, but the enemy.

“You choose. Prison or marriage?”

* * *

My fake marriage to the man who arrested me…

“We’re divorcing as soon as we get that damn ruby back.”

“I’m already looking forward to that day.”

We are just together to find the missing ruby…

“Our child. The responsibility is mine and yours together. So don’t think about running away again.”

The man who seemed to be disgusted by the idea of having fur on him raised my cat with me.

“The only jewel I want is my wife Gemma.”

He began to say things that made my heart flutter.

“Raven, if you do this, I will report you.”

“Marriage registration.”

I… Maybe I didn’t steal the jewels I was told to steal, but I stole this man’s heart? <<less

The Crown Prince was cursed to swap bodies with the woman he spent a night with, and due circumstance, I became the daughter of the Duke whose whole family was exterminated because they failed to produce a cure for the said curse. ... more>>

To lift the curse, I seduced the indifferent prince and spent a night with him.

After ridding him of the curse and giving him the cure, I stopped paying attention to him…

"Princess, it seems you left me because you weren't satisfied that night."

"...."

"Let's do it again. I'll satisfy you this time."

And to make things worse, the curse that should have been lifted and should have been a closed chapter… was not. Now our bodies would sporadically swap without any warning?

There was only one way to return to our bodies and that was to desire the other’s body. But—

“Your Highness, why did you rush all the way here?”

“You said you didn’t like being rained on.”

“I am telling you that it was a lie I told to seduce you.”

The man, who had suddenly changed, covered me with his jacket and whispered, “I would hate myself if I let you get rained on.” <<less

She possessed the woman who was married to the devil.... more>>

You play the role of obsessing over a villain husband.

“I’ll be on your side!”

She decided to be nice to her husband, who has been living in the same house as her for a long time.

But one day when I became an adult and was about to get divorced…..

A bad night has left me with a shabby child.

So I tried to leave before I got caught.

“That Richard? Something’s wrong with–”

“I don’t want to let you go, so die in my arms, Elisha.”

She could not shake him off when she tried to cry and beg with her beautiful face.

“Where are you going to run away with my child?”

You even came after me with such cold eyes?

I don’t think I will be able to run away.

What do I do now? <<less

Isabella, who died after being exploited by the Duke of Lodgemund family, her husband’s family, and losing all her properties.
The moment she returned to her childhood like a miracle and chose her husband,... more>>

“This girl, she wants to become a member of the long-cherished Duke of Barmuth family.”

She decided that she’d rather be the daughter-in-law of the famous mad dog.

***

‘SInce they’re a family that judges crime, I will be safe. But in order to be protected,’

I have to capture the bloody father-in-law without mercy first!
But… Wasn’t I a ‘daughter-in-law’?”

“Oh my gosh! Thanks to Little Madam, all the fog stones that contain their power have been destroyed!”

Won’t I help my father-in-law fix the bomb blueprints?

“Isabella, you, too, are now a member of the Gottfried Knights.”

Even joining the Knights that capture the Dark Magician?

“I will protect you. Marriage is like that.”

My fiancé, who is still young, is suspiciously admirable, but in the midst of the insidious plots are thriving, the situation that I have to protect…

Ah, I don't know anymore. I'm going to solve the problem first.
Let's defeat it righteously! <<less

Theresia Oblene, eight years old.... more>>

As her dead mother’s things which she left were taken hostage, she was threatened by her wicked biological father and was made to go to be adopted by the Ghost Duke family.

“But he surely only told me to go to be adopted, right. He didn’t tell me not to get a dissolution of adoption, did he?”

Now that it has become like this, I’ll leave my name as the fastest child to get a dissolution of adoption in the history of the Empire.

***

An heir’s duty? What’s that? Is it something to be eaten?

It was my plan to become a lout and be kicked out on purpose.

Until I met the Ghost Duke who got cursed.

[Let me do this kind of thing as a parent, Terry.]
[I will become the Miss’ wooden horse!]
[Thank you, Miss!]
The Duke is too kind, and the employees are too sweet.

If so… change of plan!

I decided to raise the Duke Family which is going doom, and buy the whole Viscount family.

Shouldn’t I use the ability to see ghosts at times like this?

But…

[Hey, you. If you keep pretending not to know…]
[I will tell the ghosts of the mansion that you can see ghosts.]
My ability got caught by some teddy bear that was possessed by a ghost.

Will… I be able to survive here safely? <<less

“The Blessing of Heaven”, “A Prodigal Genius”, “Edenberg’s Dog”... more>>

To win the love of her adopted parents, Elena dedicated her skills to the Edenberg name. If anything posed to harm the family, Elena would even kill the people she loved. At the end, Elena’s “family” chose to sacrifice her. No longer having the will to live, Elena’s dying wish was to destroy the Edenberg family name. Time reset and Elena now has a chance to do just that with the help of the mysterious Emperor who heard her wish. <<less

God gave me one more chance and finally came back after four hundred years. ... more>>

As soon as I realized I returned, I decided that ‘no one should have pride.’

My goal was to destroy the country. So, I grew up with a genius prince who lived in hiding before returning.
He took up the empire for me and I left him for him to achieve his goal.

‘I came to pick you up Charlize Ronan.’ Dylan, who became a perfect tyrant after a few years, found me after searching all over the continent.

‘Why did you flee and run away?’ <<less

It had been a year since I possessed this body, and I finally discovered the identity of the original character.
But… I was revealed to be Evelyn, a handmaid who would help the runaway of the future imperial princess, Caesar.
My only way to survive was to control Prince Caesar's rampage and raise him to the throne.... more>>

"I have to find Your Highness's guide. Contacting a guide will allow you to awaken your abilities without going into a rampage."

In an attempt to survive a little longer, I set out to find his guide... only to discover that I was the one and only guide?
Moreover,

"I have no reason to dislike Your Majesty."
"Then that's good, isn't it?"
"...Huhh?"
"If you don't dislike it, then it's good."

As I was gradually preparing to leave the palace, the newly crowned Emperor looked at me with sparkling eyes.
He held both of my hands tightly, as if he had no intention of letting go.

I had only awakened him, so why was he following me around like a drenched puppy?
And why wasn't the rampage stopping?

***

"It's about time for me to vomit blood, isn't it?"
"Why would you say I'm going to vomit blood in front of me? Why?"

Unbeknownst to him, I was eavesdropping when Caesar gazed lazily and whispered.

"I need to go on a rampage... so that Evelyn won't leave me."

At that moment, the door I had been waiting for opened, and our eyes met.
His sky-blue irises were stained with bewilderment. <<less

I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.... more>>

“Sister, what is ‘that’?”

“That’ is your friend. Didn’t you say you wanted a friend?”

One day, my sister brought home a man.

The fact that she brought home a man alone is shocking but what’s more shocking is that this man… is someone who has lost his memories after being chased by the Imperial Palace. This man is someone who was a child during the day but a man at night.

The man is none other than the cursed magician ‘Lennox Iberich.’

“I think I should continue getting hurt.”

“Why?”

“Then, Amy will continue to be by my side.”

Why is this man dangerous?

Even though during the day, he’s a lovely and cute puppy,

“You like my naked body, huh?”

“Wait a minute, can’t you say it properly? It’s a misunderstanding!”

“Why is it a misunderstanding? Didn’t you touch my body? You didn’t even give me any clothes.”

“That is true but the reason why I didn’t…”

“So you do like me naked.”

“No, I said no!”

At night, he’s a wild and dangerous wolf. <<less

I helped the warriors who couldn’t reach the dragon, and we became true companions beyond life and death.... more>>

So I believed.

But it was my own delusion.

It was impossible for me to join in that place of honor where everyone cheered. As a commoner, I couldn’t stand among the group of warriors composed only of those of noble origins.

As such, I left the capital city by myself, and the dragon I thought was asleep, awakened once more.

* * *

“Cornelia.”

A man’s shining, cream-colored eyes looked at me pathetically.

“Please come back, we’re comrades.”

Behind him, the group nodded at his words. Everyone clung to and depended on me.

Those who had climbed to the highest position were on their knees in front of me, the one in the lowest position.

My gaze reached the man at the back who was gnawing his lips. The man said nothing. He was just staring at me with a pathetic expression on his face.

Looking at them, I smiled brightly.

Except for one person, their faces brightened in an instant.

“Mmh, I’m not going back.”

I shut the door roughly on the Empire’s heroes. <<less

“ Your curse, I’ll solve it. In exchange, please accept me as a bloody traction.”... more>>

From the information of the original story she learns the reason of her mother’s death. Lobelia realizes her own situation, deprived from her everything and driven her into becoming a villain, decides to take revenge.

She escapes out of the hands of an uncle who wants to control and tries to get back her share.

She went to Duke Ferrado, who is known to be dangerous, and made her suggestion

“I know a better way. I’ve been thinking about a contract relationship. How’s it?”

The man comes up with an unexpected reverse proposal. Lobelia shakes off the money line of her uncle with his support.

In front of her, the heroine of the original story and the daughter of the enemy appears as her rival.

“Sister, why in the world did you change like this?”

Will Lobelia be able to complete her revenge?

She said, “When it’s all over, I still want to be with you.”

And can she have a happy ending with the man she woos? <<less

Luciel is a [Crystal Fairy]. ... more>>

Someone who can create jewelry when she feels strong emotions.

She died after being exploited and returned to the past!

'This time, I will never live like that.’

In order to avoid the worst future possible, she even proposed a contract marriage to the Empire's top villain family.

But something became weird. The start of this relationship was definitely temporary.

"How about becoming my daughter instead of a daughter-in-law?"
"I always wish I had a granddaughter, this is just perfect."
"When I grow up, I will marry my sister-in-law."

How come they are doing this to me when they were said to be villians?
Besides...

"Whether it's a jewel or a flower, it doesn't matter to me what you make."

The reaper of Bellstein.

The man who was in ruins in her past life said so with a fresh smile on his young face.

"If you get out of my sight, I'll chase you to the end, Luciel." <<less

A wicked woman who is feared by her husband and her son.... more>>

A mother-in-law who is abandoned by her family after tormenting the female lead.

That was me.

So I brought my young daughter-in-law who was abused and raised her.

The only goal is to make the female lead take my side!

If I succeed, can I avoid the cruel ending of the novel?

… That’s what I thought.

“Mother, the weather is good. Could you please take a walk with me?”
“Mother, I baked cookies myself. Try a bite.”
“Mother, mother….”

My young daughter-in-law always follows me around, leaving behind the boy who will become her future husband?

“Mom, I like Lily, but I like you better.”

My son, who was scared of me, whispered with a shy face.

“Madam, how long are we going to use separate rooms?”

My husband, who was always cold, looked at me with honey dripping eyes.

……Why is everyone acting towards me in such a way all of a sudden? <<less

I was the youngest princess in the Imperial family. The powerless imperial family was engulfed in the flames of rebellion, and as an extra in the family, I was the first to be abandoned. As such, I lived not as the imperial princess Stella, but as the commoner Ethel for ten years. That was, until I came back to the imperial family that abandoned me.... more>>

“I need a replacement.”

So said my sister, the first princess of the empire.

“To be a substitute for my missing sister.”

“A tempting proposition, Your Highness. But I don’t want to.”

“Is there nothing you cherish…?”

A clear threat holding my family hostage. And so I returned to the imperial family as “my own substitute”, laughing at them for not recognizing me.

***

There is one perfect ending to this skit. I won’t forgive them. They strove to win the heart of the princess who had awakened her powers, but finally she abandoned them. With that ending, I will be happy. <<less

Princess Clara fell in love with the abducted male protagonist. The Young king of Verona, her older brother was the one who kidnapped him from the Neraha Empire.... more>>

The princess was a side-supporting character in the book Adriana, who helped the protagonist, Prince Daniel escape.

‘I would not live like that.’

So I decided to talk to my older brother who appeared to be scary, with dark circles under his eyes. I tried…

“You dare to touch my younger sister without fear, take your pick, imprisonment, exile, or execution. If you can’t choose, I’ll choose for you.”

‘??? That’s your fiancé!’

‘Why are you suddenly like this!’

“I don’t want to go back, Princess Clara is here.”

Why is the protagonist also like this? You’re supposed to return to your empire and become Emperor! <<less

I was reincarnated as a villain in a novel.... more>>

Jealous of the female lead, I committed all kinds of evil deeds only to be executed in the end.

In order to escape from my fate, I decided to stay away from the male lead.

However...

"I think you're pregnant..."

No way. What the hell is going on!

What do you mean pregnant, that isn't even in the original story?

To protect my child and my life, I ran away from the male lead, the father of my child.

Then seven years later,

"Who told you to run away as you please?"

I didn't expect the male lead to follow me to the end of the continent. <<less

While toiling away at Altwood Duchy, I worked myself to death and actually died.... more>>

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in the past, and I was determined to seek revenge for my overworked demise.

During my time as the steward, I swore to ruin the arrogant Duke’s territory and make him pay for his misdeeds!

Wasting the budget in all the wrong places and entrusting the fields to an infamous layabout, attempting to sabotage the crops…

“Isn’t this an enormous harvest like never before?”

“Thank you. The steward saved us!”

Strangely, everything seems to be going well!

I even managed to get back at the Duke himself this time.

“You’ve laid a hand on me, so you must take responsibility. I need you, Nelly.”

Such an unexpected twist? No, I still need to seek revenge.

Duke, please just go down without a fuss! <<less

She rescued the male lead from a fantasy novel and his sister, who were abused by their uncle, and helped him grew up as an Archwizard to save the world.... more>>

“Can I call you Mom? J-just once…”

She thought in the warmth of the children who called her their mother. No matter what happens, she’ll protect these children.

* * *

She met a man who was completely different from the nobility she had seen so far in the Southern Tors, where she had escaped safely and settled down.

He respects people regardless of their status and thinks of others before himself. And, having dreams that he will never achieve.

“Someday, Tors will be strong and rich enough that no one has to worry about their livelihood and their lives. I can’t rest until that day comes.”

She thought that would be enough if she and the children could live happily ever after.

But why? She wanted to reach out to the high sky that this man was looking at.

“Your Grace.”

Even if it’s only a few years.

“I’ll help you.” <<less

A child born with the fate of the curse.
Three lives ended and the fourth life began.... more>>

In the first, she was beaten to death by strangers.
In the second, she died in a foreign land while running away with a weak body.
In the third, she lost her footing in the mountains and died.
In the fourth, she thought she would be loved…!

“You… You really left me behind! In the castle where the Dragon of Judgement lives!”

Fate came suddenly one day.

“What… Is this?”
“Master, this is a human baby.”
“So why is this here?”

Can I live a long, beloved life? <<less

The only real villainess in the novel brought in a man with a beautiful appearance and tamed him for life. He learned to beg her after forcing his fear to his limits, and he became into a beast from which he could never escape, even if she freed his leash. However, the beast falls in love with the woman who saved him and becomes the emperor, with his savior by his side, enslaving the villainess for all eternity.... more>>

I recall this scene where the male protagonist was being tamed. …What am I supposed to do?

First of all, let’s unwind the brainwashing little by little. Let’s pretend we’re sorry after that… Amen.

“I had a hard time searching for you.”

“What are you talking about… I don’t know. His Majesty the Emperor.”

“How could I ever forget this touch of yours?”

He then grabbed my wrist, grabbed my hand, placed it on his cheek, and stroked it down gradually.

Just like how Illyana, the villainess in the novel, always do as she praised him.

“I’m going to tame you as a beast that can’t do anything without me, just like what you did to me.”

The palm that had brushed his cheek so unintentionally reached his lips. He kissed the palm of my hand briefly, then slowly removed his hand. <<less

「A princess born in the Kingdom of Astria shall bring the end of the world.」... more>>

A prophecy foretold of a great danger that would befall, and thus she, born as a princess, must die to prevent it from coming to pass. Against all odds, she managed to hold onto life with the help of her parents’ opposition, growing up surrounded by their love and adoration, but….

Eventually, she became the very dark lord that had been prophesied.

“Please, kill me. Don’t let me destroy the world any longer…!”

A world engulfed in utter chaos. The world she laid to ruin. In her darkest moment, when all semblance of hope had vanished and she longed for release from her suffering, a sharp and frigid blade found its way into her chest. It was none other than the sword of Cassiel, the rightful heir to the holy kingdom.

Just as she thought it was all over….

“Sera, even if everyone in the world hates you, Daddy will give you a love greater than that.”

“My dear little sister. A world that hates you deserves to be destroyed.”

She went back in time to when she was ten years old, when her dear dad and brother were still alive! It was a second opportunity. While she dreamed of leading this life peacefully….

“I am Cassiel Rune Erdmann.”

There stood the hero of the century who killed the dark lord, Cassiel. He appeared and held out delicate flowers instead of a sharp blade.

“Princess Seraphina, please let me be your fiancé.” <<less

The Legendary Sword, Excalibur.... more>>

The one who draws that sword will become the Master of the continent.

I became a villainess in a mythological novel.

Morgana Le Fay, the villainess who was executed by the Hero after stealing the Legendary Sword and delivering it to the final Dark Villain.

'I will refrain from evil deeds. I'm a good person!'

So, I tried to escape from the Dark Villain, enjoy a peaceful life, and be wise in this world.

However, as I was checking if the sword was properly inserted into the rock, I stopped pulling it out.

"Why is the Legendary Sword so easily pulled out?! What about the Oracle?"

Of course, I tried to pass the Excalibur to the main character and run away, but the atmosphere became strange.

"Where were you planning to go with the Sword?"

"Well, I don't know. Going out to the lake ahead...?"

"Yes, beyond that lake is the land of Britain."

"I have no intention of handing you over to Arthur."

"Hey, there seems to be some misunderstanding."

"I’ll bring the continent into your hands, so don’t leave and stay by my side. Morgana."
The new king of Avalon will open the door to war.

"My dear Morgana. Forgive me for daring to desire the King of Britain. I will risk my life and honor to put you in the place you deserve."
Then the main character should be the Master of the Sword.

"I don't care if the other person is a woman. The marriage is already prepared. Come on, let's go to Britain and push my father away!"
The heroine, who's declared in the Oracle to marry the male protagonist, the Hero of this world.

—Once you pick it up, I'll go with you until you die. All right, here comes the Master of the continent!

Even this damn Excalibur!!

Why is everyone crazy? Excuse me, I don't need that continent! <<less
