One day, my sister breaks up with the male lead.... more>>

I couldn't bear to see her all gloomy, so I took it upon myself to find that knight.

The plan was simple: deliver my sister's sincerity and patch things up.

However, when I finally reach the place, that knight is nowhere to be found...

"I don't care if you're a man or an alien anymore."

"Well, actually, I am an alien!"

"That just makes it even more exciting."

Instead of meeting the person I want to see, I met a crazy man.

* * *

It was a dreadful first encounter. I was trembling with fear, but I couldn't let myself give up just like that. Determined, I chose to quietly observe and bide my time, waiting for the perfect opportunity to meet the male lead alone, just like a shadow.

However, a small problem arose.

"It's better to give up."

"What do you mean all of a sudden...?"

"I have no intention of just watching while you turn your attention to another man."

It seems like this crazy man was seriously misunderstanding something.

* * *

I am Charlotte La Bravant, a woman who never gives up.

After much effort, I achieved my goals and quickly escaped, basking in the joy of success. And why wouldn't I succeed? I’m the younger sister of the esteemed Marquess Bravant, also known as the dazzling rose of the high society after all!

"Did you think you could escape and I wouldn't find you?"

"H-how did you...?"

"You've become even more beautiful since I last saw you. So, was that man's embrace warm?"

"What?"

The duke's eyes grew more intense as he said that. <<less

In a 19-gold-waste novel, I possessed the character of villainess.... more>>

Sophina, the bluebird and former wife of the white lion male lead, who was obsessed with him and was thrown away.

A character who was stoned to death because of angry public sentiment?

‘Let’s get a divorce after grazing enough!’

As a result of my efforts, I became friends with the male lead instead of obsessing with him.

In the meantime, I became close to my mother-in-law and other family members of the male lead, and I gained recognition from helping in managing the estate, and my business also became a big hit!

Everything was perfect.

It’s time for the male lead who went to war to bring the heroine, so all he has to do is divorce me now.

But the problem was…

“I don’t want to divorce.”

It was because he became so attached.

Maybe I have arrhythmia? My heart kept beating fast or it seems I’m a bit excited?

So I was thinking of seducing the male lead…

***

“While I was away from the mansion for a while, I guessed you were thinking of running away from me.”

Ricardo’s dangerous and low voice, unlike his beautiful childish voice from my memory, rang in my ears.

It seems that the male lead, who has grown up as a sexy adult, has a useless misunderstanding.

And…

“Don’t leave, and don’t pretend that you don’t know me if you happen to throw away your husband.”

“This brother-in-law would educate his ugly brother. Please just don’t leave.”

“Okay, well thought out. Just live with me!”

Even my in-laws misunderstood and kept clinging to me.

Why does everyone keep misunderstanding?

Excuse me. I wasn’t thinking of getting divorced? <<less

She enticed the successor to the Duke of Lisianthus.... more>>

He sneakily grabbed my hand.

I sighed and twisted my hand out of his grip. “We can’t do this as friends.”

“Are you ashamed of holding my hand even once, Leen?”

No matter how much I think about what Carsion said, with his face showing ‘I barely held one hand’, it doesn’t seem that way.

“I can do more with you, Leen.”

Those words seemed to ring in my head, but the blue pupils were headed in a different direction – you can’t even look me in the eye. I mean, it’s not convincing to say those kind of words with such a shy face, you punk.

* * * * *

The Duchess took something out from the purse in her arms.

“Do you need money? Then take this money and break up with Carsion; take it without hard feelings.”

I stared silently into the thick pockets that the Duchess gave. Then I tapped my chin and gave her a serious look. “We’re not dating, we’re friends. Do you want me to cut off my friendship with Carsion from today?”

Will the Duchess get up from her seat, trembling and slap my face? Or are you going to spray water on me?

“Pass!”

“Ye-yes?” My face slowly blushed with embarrassment.

What’s with her unexpected reaction?! <<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

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

“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

I transmigrated into a crazy novel and came to possess the body of ‘Roella’, a fake saintess who’s destined to die young.... more>>

‘No, but is there some sort of trend of dying young?’

A moment of despair. A determined plan to survive.

When the real saintess comes out, I’ll just say, ‘I knew it, I guess I’m a fake!’ then stand down!

The perfect plan provided a moment’s repose.

Ding—!

〈 Mission : A villainess, but forcibly turning over a new leaf!

1. Raise your reputation
2. Apply the automatic curse word censorship

※ Penalty upon mission failure : Death within six months of the recognition of Sylvia as the real saintess.
※ Reward upon mission success : Survival

Would you like to accept this mission?
( I want to ♥ / YES! ) 〉

A ruthless system window with no conscience appeared before my eyes.

* * *

To ensure my survival, I followed what the system window said.
Consequently,

“The best Saintess of the empire!”
“Cursing at the Saintess is the same as cursing at me, so I won’t let this go.”
“She’s here. This era’s number one Saintess!”

What the. Seems like my reputation went up too much?

And to make matters worse.

—Ah, this crazy…!
“Ah, how cute…!”

—What did you say, you f*****!
“What did you say, you cutie!”

Because of the mayhem that the censorship brought on, I guess the cursed imperial crown prince even got swept into this kind of misunderstanding?!

“I’m… cute?”

No. That’s not what I meant. <<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

After a year possessed as an extra, I picked up the dying mastermind.... more>>

But this man seems to have amnesia.

“What kind of relationship were we?”

And a strange misunderstanding!

“Whenever I see you my heart beats violently, my head hurts like it’s going to break, and I feel dizzy.”

“Tha, that’s…”

“What is it if it is not love?”

That’s not love, it’s because I smashed the back of your head.

***

Dillian’s misunderstanding started then grew out of control.

“If we’re not lovers, we’re a married couple.”

“That’s not it…”

“I will take care of it, I will pay you for the rest of my life.”

“…”

“So wife, you must not leave my side.”

His touch reached my foot. Slowly and smoothly his hand climbed up, wrapped around my ankle.

As if, it’s like I got shackled.

“Lea, what if I leave, you will kill me?”

“How can I do that?”

He responded lightly with a smiling voice.

“I’m going to kill the man who took you.”

…I think I got caught by the wrong one. <<less

In the original novel, she was the villainess, but she avoided all the death flags properly by faking her own death.
She saved even the poor child who was destined to die, sacrificed herself to ensure the protagonists' lives would be smooth…
And thus, she hid and waited for her own happy ending.... more>>

Finally feeling happy for a moment at the news of the original protagonists' marriage, she returned after hearing about her mother's passing...

…But why is everything all messed up?
No, more importantly, why was she in confinement?!

The original male lead, who was her childhood friend and fiancé, spoke.

"If I had known you'd fall for such a simple trick like a death notice, I would have done it sooner."

The male lead, who she thought had married someone else, laughed at her with utterly crazed eyes.
Why was he like this now? He wasn't like this before.

"You’ve got nowhere to run now."

What's going on here! <<less

One sunny and beautiful day.... more>>

Nicole decided to end her husband’s life.

A husband who dragged and forced her to become his wife, and locked her up.

A husband who has put her whole family in misery.

But she didn’t know then.

She didn’t expect all that to be an irrevocable mistake.

***

In her first life, he taught her hate.

In her second life, he taught her the pain of an unrequited love.

In her first life, she was his only wife.

In her second life, she became his most loyal confidant.

In her first life, she aided and abetted his pain, she ended his life.

In her second life, now she’s trying to save him.

So Nicole, when she returned in time,

To gain the power to protect themselves.

She needed the strength to protect her precious Grand Duke Valentine and her family. <<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

*Celeb: short for celebrity.... more>>

A dull body, a timid and kind personality.

The fat princess who was ostracized, Rubetria Diollus.

“Oh my, the princess is at the dessert shop every time I see her. She eats so many sweets, enough to make one’s cheeks burst, no wonder she gets fat.”

Princess Lillia, the ‘swan princess’ of the family, was always surrounded by friends, and Rubetria, the ‘ugly duckling’ who was bullied by them, was a loner.

“Hey, you idiot. Our princess is angry. Eat it, quickly.”

“Puhaha…!”

“Oh my god! She really ate that!”

Rubetria was tired of the bullying.

Then one day, she said,

‘I want to live a wonderful life like that woman for just one day.’

180 degrees change. <<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

I was possessed by a 19-rated omegaverse BL adult novel.... more>>

I’m not a bottom, not an omega, I’m just a woman. It means nothing but scraps.

However, perhaps it was a joke of the original novel, but I suddenly took care of the crown prince. I’m a caregiver who looks like don’t even have a name for the position.

I had so much work that I have never been home before.

“Your highness, I’m going home now.”

“You would encounter some difficulties on a night journey. Why don’t you just take a break here?”

“…what?”

“Let’s see. I’m a little sorry to make you sleep on the couch. I need to make room for Edith to rest.”

I don’t need a place to rest.

Please let me go home!

“Would you rather use my bed?”

“No, sir.”

“I’ll sleep on the couch. Take it easy.”

It’s a pitiful caregiver life where she have been pushed by His Highness The Crown Prince (a.k.a. rotten X) and forced to sleep in one room.

* * *

“How can this be the scent of Beta? I can’t believe it.”

He murmured close to Edith’s abdomen.

“I am Beta.”

“I’m not sure. Is that true?”

Edith was neither sitting nor standing, she was being pressed by Clyde. When she wriggle, she lost her balance, pushed by her reckless action.

Just before she collapsed, her fingers dug deep into his deep blue hair.

It was a reflective act, and she didn’t mean to provoke him. But Clyde was as shocked as if he had been stabbed by a sword.

Suddenly, the Alpha’s body twitched for a moment.

He tilted his head back with animal movements and glared at her with sullen. There was a strange energy around him. It was an area that Edith couldn’t understand.

“Is this a sign that you want to be eaten by me?” <<less

I possessed the villain’s childhood friend.... more>>

The problem is that I’m destined to die at the hands of my childhood friend, Reynold, the villain, on the day of the Academy graduation.

Wanting to escape from fate, I worked hard to sever ties with him.

However, this world isn’t as easy as I think.

***

“Are you two going to get married later?”

In the words of a madam who asked us, as if we were cute.

Not enough to slam a fork on the table, Reynold stormed out of his seat.

I followed him out of spite, and the words that came back…

“Who would want to marry you?”

I mean, you know what’s good?

I’d rather marry a weed rolling by the side of the road than marry that guy.

***

I struggled to change my fate.

In the end, I even entered the Academy according to the original story.

“You, you’re not dating Reynold, are you?”

“I heard that you harass the girls who approach Reynold…”

I tried to avoid Reynold as much as possible, but for some reason, such nonsense spread.

I finally raised my voice.

“I said no, I said I’m not! I said I’m just friends with him!”

The noisy classroom quickly became quiet.

They should have figured it out by now.

When I turned around with a satisfied smile, Reynold, who I didn’t know since when he came, was staring at me.

With a sharp smile. <<less

Blake found her annoying. It was a look Lily was used to.

“Hide me for a year, and then I will leave without complaint.”

How did this happen?

“Now, I remembered everything, Miss.”

Blake put his lips on top of hers.

“You made a promise to me when we were young. You were going to marry me.”

So she raised and taught the fox with effort…

“I am of a race greater than that of a beast. Scyllia knows that, right?”

“……”

“Don’t worry. You taught me well. I don’t do anything dangerous.”

“But you can’t run away.”

Power entered his thick and tense forearms that tightened her.

“Keep helping me to be a nice person, Scyllia. By my side.”

After possessing an extra character with no weight as a ruined Viscount’s daughter in an ordinary romance fantasy novel book.... more>>

As soon as she opened her eyes, she was chased by debtors and ran away, and somehow she managed to flee and hide in a mountain valley village.

Then one day she witnessed a man beating a child in front of her house. She saved the child and brought him home… The problem is that the child always calls her mom and follows her everywhere.

Just as she was taking care of the child, knights suddenly burst into her home. Then they mistook her for a kidnapper and dragged her away!

As it turned out, the child was the son of the Duke, the sub-male lead. He misunderstood her as a kidnapper and was busy on alert.

She was going to die of it, but the child likes her so much that somehow she became the babysitter of the child and got a job at the Duke’s House.

At what point did the Duke’s attitude towards her become strange?

The problem is that even though they were childhood friends, we got on the wrong line and my family ended up lying on the guillotine!

In order to prevent this terrifying ending, I decided to be properly on the side of the Male Lead.

“I will help the prince!”

Rescuing the Male Lead from his abusive mother.

“Please support the Swordsmanship School in Kyle’s name.”

I became his legs.

“Dating is pushing and pulling, and you just need to pull. Don’t push.”

I even gave him dating advice so that he can have a smooth relationship with the future female protagonist.

Now we’re the best friends in the world, no matter what anyone says!

If this is the case, Kyle will also save our family when he becomes emperor, right?

***

The long-awaited female protagonist, the saint, appeared in the capital.

To become an emperor, you need the power of a saint, so I thought the two of them would be fine, but what is this?

The Male Lead doesn’t budge.

I got angry and scolded him for blowing up my special training.

“I told you to just pull.”

“Am I doing it like that?”

Kyle grabbed me. I sat on his thigh in a daze.

The handsome face is too close.

Kyle whispered as he grabbed the ends of my hair and gave them a small kiss.

“You said I should just pull.”

That’s what I meant for you to do to the female lead…!

‘The original story begins with the destruction of the world at the hands of the young transcendents who are temporarily protected by the grand duke.’

Then she had to change the future.

She had to move to avenge her revenge.

Fortunately, there is still a little time left until destruction.

“Princess Frey. Again, I am a very promiscuous man.”

‘The keyword is #no interest for women, but pretending to be promiscuous.’

“Princess, I already have two out of wedlock.”

‘This man hates marriage so much, isn’t it a joke?’

"Then I should prepare for a divorce in my spare time in business!”

Grand Duke Daniel hated Frey, who was rumored to be a scoundrel. So using the power of the transcendent, he peeked into her future.

In a time of uncertain transmigration within a novel read anytime, anywhere, parallel reading is perilous.... more>>

"Sect Leader, a newborn was left in front of our gate!"

As a reward for reading both childcare romance novels and martial arts novels brimming with blood, calling for justice and alliances, one may transmigrate into a unique hybrid of martial arts and childcare.

Moreover, it's not the clichéd daughter of a prestigious family, but an abandoned baby left in front of the treacherous Mount Hua Sect!

"Yes, youngest one! Leaving a legend that wields a sword before taking the first step is what we're aiming for!"
"Maehwa! If you're part of the Mount Hua Sect, you must surely bloom Plum Blossoms!"

Don't create legends of wielding a sword for a baby who can't even walk.

"We must defeat the Wudang Sect, we must! How long do we have to live hearing that the world's greatest swordsmanship is associated with the Wudangs!"

Do adults burdening children with excessive responsibilities make any sense?

Even worse, the troublemaker Nangong Family who used to coax me to come to his house when I was young doesn't recognize me now...

"Is this all the Mount Hua's Sword has to offer? I had some expectations for the Mount Hua Sect, but it's nothing special."

Just don't speak, okay?

In the future, could you please send only one proper childcare romance novel at a time?

Nangong Family's Heon suddenly grabbed my shoulders.

"Hey, you... don't spar with someone else."
"Do you think that's possible when my head is spinning from the shock of defeat? Come on."

"Then don't smile like that after sparring with someone else is over."

Slowly blinking, he looked down at me with pitch-black pupils.
