I became the secretary of a tyrant in place of my clumsy brother to survive. ... more>>

But I have so much potential for it. I’m so darn good at my job. Because I served the tyrant so well, ‘everyone has a happy ending’.

Well then, shall I quit being a secretary and live a leisurely life now?

“Rosaline, tell me what you want?” he asked as he stepped down from his chair.

“I want to quit.”

His eyebrows twitched slightly.

“Do you want to die?”

Your Highness, you never hold on to people who want to leave, so why’re you being like this to me? <<less

She reincarnated in a 19th-century male-oriented fantasy novel. But there was no heroine in this nasty and brutal B-rated dramatic story.... more>>

It’s because he had killed everyone.

In this hopeless story devoid of any dreams, she was destined to be eaten alive by the protagonist. But before she could even meet them, her house was ruined.

Be devoured by the protagonist, or starve to death?

After much agonizing, she decided to sell herself.

The main character sealed the deal with a price of 5 billion Marcas.

It’s not such a bad deal for both the hero and her.

***

“How could a woman who sold herself in the slums be more important than the Emperor’s name?!”

The voice belonged to a young knight. The other knights hurried to restrain him, but the beans were already spilled. The captain of the knights apologized with a cold sweat.

“I apologize, Your Grace. I have nothing to say. This is all due to my incompetence.”

“No, it’s finished.”

Zahid drew his sword as he spoke gracefully.

While the knights were at their wits’ end, I approached Zahid. He glanced back at me, before turning back to the sword’s blade that shone in the moonlight. I reached out to him.

“Give me the sword.”

“I don’t want to. He insulted you.”

“No, that’s not it.”

I looked directly up at the knights that spoke such insulting words.

“I’ll stab you myself.” <<less

Q. Describe how you felt when your trusted Dad wasn’t an extra.... more>>

A. W, what… Give me back my role as ‘Passing Imperial Citizen 1’

During the war 365 days a year!

A crazy worldview where there is no day without worry!

It was a blessing to be born as an extra here.

“Princess~ Wake up~♡”

“Ah, my pretty daughter♡♡.”

Besides, living a simple life in a mountain village with a nice and sweet dad (James Brown, 27, Extra) is the best!

—and that’s what I thought.

“Look! The person who just appeared is my father! A symbol of commoner men, brown hair and brown eyes!”

“….”

“He’s just the Passing Imperial Citizen 1 even if you look at it, and he’s a 27-year-old unmarried father living in a mountain village with a young daughter and working hard to make a living.”

The Knight Commander only looked at me indifferently.

“—Excuse me, sir? Over there? Whoa!”

At that moment, The Knight Commander was startled and drew his sword. I looked back instinctively.

‘…Daddy?’

Blue energy was rising above my daddy’s wooden poker. I rubbed my eyes and watched it again.

‘W, what’s that?’

At the next moment. Daddy’s brown hair and brown eyes, which were symbols of Extra 1— gradually changed.

“Oh my.”

Anyone can see, ‘I’m the main character!’ with his dazzling silver hair and sparkling blue eyes!

‘E, excuse me? Isn’t he a 27-year-old unmarried father living in a mountain village with a young daughter—’

—James? Is this real?

“Give me my daughter, you bastard.” <<less

I want to die one day before you. I cannot live a single day without you.... more>>

Rufus, the eldest son of the Inferna Barony.

He had proposed to the princess in pursuit of wealth and honor…

Only to be sent to the battlefield due to the king’s anger.

“You won’t die.”

As Rufus was in despair, the saintess bestowed upon him a prophecy.

Three years later, the war came to an end.

Rufus, whom everyone had expected to die, survived and returned, now praised as the hero who had defeated the demon king.

People naturally thought he would marry the princess.

However, the person Rufus sought out first was someone entirely unexpected.

It was the saintess—the only one who had ever been on his side when no one else was.

She was none other than Sarubia, the princess’s maid.

“Why do you still remember my name?”

“It’s not that I remember. I couldn’t forget.”

Because she had already become a part of his life. <<less

Born as a penguin, I miraculously succeeded in humanizing.... more>>

The problem was that the magic tower lord who raised me hates demibeasts.

I ran away because I was afraid that my identity as a demibeast would be discovered…

Somehow, a self-proclaimed penguin lover discovered my identity.

The killer whale demibeast, Suradel.

He looked at me with a rough sweep of his hair. The glowing red eyes were darkening.

“Ha… Your crazy eyes, they’re the best.”

It’s not eyes, it’s just white fur.

“Can I touch your belly?”

Can you? When he said that he wanted to touch my precious belly, I got angry and pecked him with my beak…

Oddly enough, he had a somewhat overwhelmed expression on his face.

“Oh, my gosh. Did you just kiss me?”

…I think I got it wrong. I was caught by a madman, not a penguin lover.

—

The magic tower lord stared at Suradel with scorching eyes.

“Take it off, Suradel.”

In a tone similar to a command, Suradel’s eyes fluttered slightly.

“…I’m sorry, but my taste is a ferocious female penguin.”

—It’s not a human male like you.

At the small words he added, the magic tower lord’s eyes grew even harsher.

“So, are you hiding a runaway penguin in your clothes?”

Well. Had I known this was going to happen, I wouldn’t have asked Suradel to hide me. <<less

I became the villainess stepmother who is doomed to suffer greatly in the hands of the male lead, who will return as a tyrant due to his years of child abuse.... more>>

I can’t die like this. No, I was determined to survive.

However… Why does avoiding a gruesome fate seem so easy?

And, to make matters worse, my husband began to obsess over me. <<less

Before the wedding, her fiancé had an affair.... more>>

So she got a new fiancé to break up…

But there is a little problem.

[You said he was a killer?]

[There’s a rumor that he’s a wreck.]

[Some people fainted because they were scared during the conversation.]

Lilia stared at her new fiancé, who was carrying all kinds of bad rumors.

Karhan, holding a little puppy in his arms, lowered his eyes as if he were about to be scolded.

“Lilia…. I took this puppy because it was raining outside.”

…..Is this engagement okay?

***

She was walking to the Orgel store she bought last time. Lilia was surprised to see the incredibly long line.

“What……?”

Something new came out?

Was it not that, or was the product released by a limited sale?

Lilia walked slowly along the line like salmon against the river.

It turned out that the origin of the string was Lilia’s Orgel shop.

‘How long ago was it so quiet?’

Embarrassed, Lilia looked around and grabbed a man and asked, “Can you tell me why everyone is in line?”

Then the young man kindly explained.

“This time, a popular actor placed a ring in a music box and proposed a marriage. After the rumors, the music box became a necessity for the proposal.”

Unbelievable.

She hit the jackpot again. <<less

I’ve had enough of being transmigrated into books.... more>>

You would be tired of it too, especially if it was already your fourth time doing it. This time, I became the female lead’s villainous older sister.

‘Oh, I’m so sick of this.’

Yet again, I was sure this life wouldn’t be exciting either. I had led straightforward lives before, and then I died and moved on to the next.

But why was it that this iteration was a tad different?

‘Why can I use the abilities I had in my second transmigration?’

‘Why is the female lead bothering me so much?’

Alicia, this novel’s protagonist, was fated to have a poor, emaciated life. However, considering that she was this novel’s true heroine, I couldn’t just let her roll through the mud like this. I would do everything in my power to change her fate.

‘My younger sister, don’t become the female lead this time.’

To achieve my goal through a project hereby dubbed as the [Mob-Alicia Project], I’ve recruited the male lead’s older brother.

Cassion Carter.

He was the villain who was almost killed—no, was fated to be killed—by the male lead.

“If you want to live, promise me one thing.”

As if he was a wild beast that had been hunted and left to die alone, he breathed with incredible difficulty. I reached toward the poor man’s face and caressed his cheek, leaning down to whisper softly.

“If I save you…”

Lay down your own life on the line to protect my sister. <<less

“You shouldn’t have crossed this line, Elisha, if you didn’t want it to be like this.”... more>>

A sturdy arm wrapped around her swaying body. Her head became hazy and an intentional hot sweet sigh was pulled out of her.

‘How the hell did I get myself in this situation—’

Elisha recalled. This never happened before.

‘Yeah, I remember.’

Her future in which she would become the fake concubine to a demonic man from the same family, and would be eaten to death—even down to her bone marrow. A future in which the Cartier ducal family is embroiled in a power struggle and fragmented.

To avoid that future, Elisha threw herself at Lucerne, the archrival of her former life.

Yeah. There was no problem. She knew this man, before and after her regression. She already knew he was the most notorious maniac in the Empire.

20-year-old Elisha owes 30,000 gold coins (about 15 billion won in Korean currency or around 15 million in USD).

After going back in time, in order to avoid a hellish life because of debt, she becomes the most capable illegitimate child in the world and visits Lucerne, the archenemy of her master.

“What do you want from me?”

“Please lend me some money. And… make me your subordinate. I’ll give you all the information I have.”

“Why should I trust you?”

“I’ll give myself up as collateral.”

Lucerne listened to Elisha and watched her quietly.

“Okay. But I decide how to deal with the collateral.”

“…….”

“First of all, marry me.”

“…… huh?”

Elisha didn’t expect it either. That her information transaction would become a marriage contract. <<less

Her brother, who was the one who caused a coup d’etat, had sliced her throat. After she returned to the time before she died, she decided that she would somehow tame him and survive!... more>>

But..

Did she tame him too much?

***

“Brother, why don’t you get married?”

There was no reply from him, instead the glass that he held popped and cracked.

“Oh no! You’re bleeding.”

“Why should I get married?”

“Eh?”

“I already have you.”

Why should you get married, you say? You have to get the Empress so I can leave this castle! Sezh laughed strangely.

“Sezh.”

At that moment, she stumbled and Raytan pulled her body into his arms. His red eyes started to gleam suggestively while looking down at Sezh who was trapped in his arms.

“You know we are not real siblings.” <<less

I was forced to live in captivity for the rest of my life because I happened to be aware of the fact that I was a saint. I was truly a 'real' saint, but that didn't matter, because there was already a designated saint in the temple.... more>>

When I died from all the abuse I endured, I was sent back to a time before all those previous events in my life had happened. After 15 regressions, I was exhausted. I prayed, "I don't want anything to do with this, so please just let me die,"

And at that moment when I could finally be able to die, someone said, "How about being my daughter?"

.... That monstrous duke had adopted me. <<less

She possessed an evil woman who loves the main lead and killed her husband.... more>>

Fortunately, the timeline was before she killed her husband.

And unfortunately, everyone knows she loved the male lead so much. In this case, she would have to get a divorce as soon as possible.

But why…

“Crazy, crazy, crazy. I just heard it. I didn’t know it was crazy,” my husband said, tearing apart the divorce papers I gave to him. “I can’t help it. I have no choice but to live with a crazy woman.”

No, you do have a choice?

Why can’t I get a divorce? <<less

In the original story, the male lead accused his ex-wife of abusing him when he was younger. But unlike the original story, I raised my young husband as if he was my brother.... more>>

When my husband went to war, I started preparing for a divorce. Because if the original story is true, the male lead will fall in love with the princess of the ruined country and bring her back!

That’s why, instead of following the road that leads to defeat, I intended to get a decent divorce.

While preparing for that, I took some money and earned quite a fortune. I also developed a cure because I didn’t want to die of an incurable disease like the original villainess. All that’s left is getting divorced!

***

My cute little husband came home and grew up to be such a fine man! But don’t worry, I’m all set to divorce you! Oddly enough, the reaction of my husband is a little strange.

“While I was fighting on the battlefield, you were preparing to run away.”

He smiled dangerously, whilst wrapping his big hands around my waist.

“Are you having an affair?”

Unlike the pretty smile on his mouth, his eyes were burning hot.

No….. you know, I’m ready to get divorced….. <<less

Princess Leah wrote a su*cide note ahead of her wedding.... more>>

It was because she was certain that she would die after the wedding night; a miserable end of a princess who devoted her life to the country and to the royal family.

But before giving up her life, Leah planned her last revenge to the family, one that would surely leave them in ruins even after she became a cold corpse.

She would bring them shame by being a non-virg*n bride.

“Why did you throw away your first experience? Don’t you just want to run away?”

“I… I want to die.” Leah impulsively confided to the man she slept with for one night. <<less
