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

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

I can’t die like in the original story, pretending to be a fake daughter!

Day by day, striving to break free from the life of a spy, revealing the whereabouts of the real daughter, and being acknowledged as an ally in various ways.

Even choosing a foster father to avoid returning to the Pose Family.

And finally, the day when efforts bear fruit and an adoption application is received.

“Now, it’s time for a formal introduction.”

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 imperial family collapsed in one night. By Basilisk, the summoner of darkness; summoned by Fletta, the Cursed Princess.... more>>

"If there is a next life... Can I really be your sister?"

Would it have been different if I had approached you a little more?

It was the last time everyone regretted it, and like a miracle, time returned to six years ago. If this is the second chance given to us...

'Yes, I'll heal you. To prevent the awakening of the Basilisk's darkness.’

So I decided.

"I look forward to your kind cooperation, Grand Duke Darian. No, Kylia."

I decided to marry Fletta's maternal uncle, Grand Duke Kylia.

I thought there would be no problem because it was a one-year contract marriage.

"Honey, ah, try it."

"You have no idea how much I like you."

"I will continue to like you. I want to express my affection to my heart's content... Can't I?"

What’s wrong with this guy?

When I try to save Fletta, the Grand Duke comes along with me (?)

Aren’t you the Monster Grand Duke…? <<less

For the sake of survival, I kissed the protagonist and we became partners.
But I just can’t believe that the ‘kind’ protagonist in the original novel was all an act!... more>>

“If I kill you, this partner relationship will be broken.”
“You can’t do that. We’ll both die at the same time.”

We were tied together by a tightly shared fate.
Sharing the same wounds, the same pain, the same life and death.
Plus, we had to have physical contact for the symbiosis?

When I found out about his mask, he was cruel to me with no hesitation.
Unreasonable amounts of work, unreasonable demands…
Why can’t I be with another man?

“I’ve figured it out! How to break this partner relationship!”

Now that my life would be safe, all that’s left is to get away―

“I have no intentions of breaking it.”
“…pardon?”
“Just like you, I’m also curious.”

He held me in his arms and his gaze slowly descended to my lips.

“I’m curious about to what extent our pain will be shared.” <<less

“…What?”

This is going to be the best scene to overturn the worst.

Ethan, who has always neglected his wife, and Camille, who chose to have an affair out of thirst for affection. Now that I’ve changed my future and avoided being kicked out penniless, all that’s left is divorce. But my husband, who is supposed to welcome it,

“No divorce.”

I mean, we were never good enough, right? Wasn’t it a relationship that burned to ashes?

“Look me in the eye and tell me. Do you really have no heart?”

The sparks from the fire went in an unexpected direction.

「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

‘Every beautiful thing is all mine.’... more>>

Louisa Messena, the lout villainess of the fallen Duchy Kingdom.

A woman who had been exposed to many works of art and surrounded by luxury items ever since she was a child, and had lived with gambling, alcohol, and luxury even after having her household ruined.

She loved and hunted beautiful things.

What she had loved the most was men.

Handsome, and beautiful men.

Without knowing that that obsession about beauty, creates a future where she will be executed.

—That was the history of the body I possessed.

But for me, such a behind-the-scene story was an area out of my interest.

I don’t give a sh*t about Rofan, or possessing. My interest is solely one.

That is making a ‘play’.

Since in my world, there are only directions, actors, stages, and audiences.

“If you want to kiss me, tell me that, Master. That’s why you make me into a male actor and you stand as a female actor, right?”

The little bit dangerous and cheeky actor, and…

“As expected, turns out you… were a person who couldn’t love anything other than plays. Even so, it doesn’t matter. Please take advantage of me. Since I’ll let myself be well taken advantage of.”

The strange as much as being obsessed fiance wasn’t the important thing. <<less

A former villainess who died after frivolously messing up the love between the male and female lead, Lilith.

“So you’re telling me to create a scene while pretending to be your lover.”
“Exactly! If they get treated terribly they’ll live kind lives too. Like me!”

The villain is really good at his job. Now the only thing left is to take care of the stepmother and the baron and live kindly and quietly like a side character would. But I’ll give this man a hint since I’m grateful.
“Don’t ever start an unrequited love unless you want to mess up your life.”
“You think I’m going to love someone unrequitedly? I doubt it.”

He ignored the warning of a former villainess! I was about to tell him you can’t just decide easily like that, but he folded his eyes and said “Why would I need to love someone unrequitedly when I already have a lover?” <<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

Aiden Fitzroy, the illegitimate child of the former emperor bearing the scars of war, and Anje Glasster, forced into an unwanted marriage,

A farm surrounded by nature, a quaint rural village, and everything that doesn’t suit her taste. Among them, the worst is Aiden, who treats her like a pest.

“Just wait, I’ll deceive you and escape from this farm!”

But at some point, both his attitude and her feelings begin to change.

****

“So what you’re saying is that you didn’t think I was pretty before, but you do now?”

“Ah……No, even before.”

With an embarrassed voice, Aiden mumbled like he had a thorn in his throat, but eventually, he managed to finish his sentence; though he had to squeeze his words out.

“Even before, I thought you were beautiful.”

“………Sir, your ears are red.”

Everyone thought this marriage marked the downfall of Princess Glasster, but was that really true? Was she really falling? <<less

Twenty-one year old Libertisha. She needed money, so she was driven into the battlefield at an early age and was given the nicknames of the mu*derer, Knight of Blood, and the Emperor’s Hound. By imperial command, she found a marriage prospect overnight and the age of that prospect… is eight years old? ... more>>

“Hmph! Why do I have to marry you?”

The little husband was sensitive, wary, and his language was quite foul.

“If you listen to me well, I might be able to help you marry the person you like later on.”
“ … Really?”

He was unexpectedly cute too.

Then one day, Libertisha found herself trapped within an unknown barrier during a mission. When she finally broke free from the barrier… Ten years had passed.

She was still twenty-one, but her husband was now unrecognizable and no longer a naive child.

“After driving me crazy for having disappeared for ten years, you what? You ask for a divorce as soon as you get back? Are you kidding me?”
“Now that you’ve also gotten older, you should understand that for the sake of our goals–”
“What bullshit.”

Her husband, who was still foul-mouthed despite having grown older, grabbed her hand and said in a low voice.

“For the past ten years, you’ve been my only wife.” <<less

It had been a year since I possessed this body, and I finally discovered the identity of the original character.

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
