I was reincarnated as a pathetic bird destined to die at the hands of the villainous sub-male lead.... more>>

I busied myself trying to survive by avoiding his wrath as much as possible.

“How can I catch her eye? Would killing the other guys solve the problem?”

“Beep! Chirp!”

‘Oh no, he’s losing it again!’

I rubbed my head against him and offered my cherished jewels as tribute.

“Why are other guys flocking around her? I want to kill them all.”

I diligently wagged my tail feathers, preventing his descent into villainy.

But then…

“Lily, did you enjoy being pampered by the maids?”

He suddenly got angry.

“Don’t disappear without my permission again.”

He told me to stay by his side.

Is my owner becoming strange?

Then, one day, as I was sensing my owner's strangeness…

“Uh…?”

After suffering from a sharp pain, I woke up and found myself human again.

Having become human, I took the jewels I received as a reward for my flattery and ran away.

But…

The villainous sub-male lead started looking for me.

…Why are you obsessed with a runaway pet bird? <<less

I possessed the body of a fake saint who was supposed to be executed, but then I awakened divine powers. However, I was only a temporary saint—I was still fake. The price for gaining divine powers was to die in place of the real saint after sealing the demon lord.... more>>

I heard that collecting divine power could make money, so I just lived a little diligently. And finally, after completing my role, I tried to die quietly…

“The temple, and Arcanus, will never forget the noble sacrifice of the Saint.”

I never made any sacrifice, yet I ended up receiving far too much attention.

Not only that.

“I think I must be drunk. I seem to see you…”

“I abandoned both name and honor. I failed to keep my vow to protect the Saint.”

“The temple… no, I need the Saint.”

Why can’t the male leads forget about me, even though I’m dead and the real saint has appeared

Given how things turned out, I must never let them discover that I’m actually alive. <<less

Her whole life, Sigrid lived as an imperial knight, a loyal servant, and a faithful subject. However, her loyalty was rewarded with disgrace, dishonor, false accusation, and a guillotine.... more>>

“If I came back,” she vowed, "... I’m not going to live a life like that again!"

Executed at the guillotine for assassinating the Crown Prince, Sigrid somehow opened her eyes again... and found herself five years before the day of her execution.

Once upon a time, Sigrid had lived an immaculate and principled life. However, now that she was given a second chance, she knew better. <<less

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in the body of a duchess. But something feels strange. Even after going through all the trouble of possessing this body, I’m just a scarecrow of a duchess, bullied by the maids and neglected by my husband. What a miserable life!... more>>

Oh well, whatever. I’ll just quietly live my life, indulging in my love for tea...

I was reincarnated into a sweet potato romance fantasy novel destined for a ‘Merry Bad Ending’ full of mutual misunderstandings.... more>>

And as the older sister of the overpowered villainess who destroys the kingdom, no less.

Being reincarnated is frustrating enough, but to be fated to die caught up in the kingdom’s destruction!

Moreover, the family I was reincarnated into was a dysfunctional one that constantly ab*sed and neglected the villainess.

‘There’s no choice. I’ll have to raise her properly myself.’

Once my well-raised little sister becomes an adult, we’ll escape hand-in-hand to another country.

It’s absolutely not because she’s cute…!

But something’s strange.

I keep getting entangled with a peculiar man who wasn’t even in the original story…?

* * *

“I believe you’re a good person, Seria.”

“…Is it all right to trust someone so readily? Especially for someone who’s the head of a noble family.”

At that, the man’s eyes crinkled as he smiled.

At a glance, it was a gentle smile that could make angels weep, but in a way, it was an excessively benevolent smile that hinted at ulterior motives.

“I don’t trust others. I only trust you and my own judgment.”

His words felt profoundly meaningful, as if he had been observing me for a long time.

What on earth is this man up to? <<less

The maid of the terminally ill younger sister of the second male lead, Maid A.
That was my role.... more>>

“Liribel, please marry my brother.”

Until the terminally ill younger sister of the second male lead left me with such a will.

I didn’t know until I hastily married the second male lead because of her will.

“So, you’re saying that Lord Erdan left without any notice?”

The day after the wedding, my husband ran away.

“I need you to act as the lord in his place.”

I didn’t expect to be overworked as the acting lord in place of my husband, who sent no word.
And then.

“You’ve really made a mess of my territory.”
“Sign the divorce papers right now and leave this territory.”

I didn’t expect my husband, who returned after two years, to demand a divorce from me, who had been taking care of the territory with all my might.

“If you don’t love Erdan, please let him go.”

And that too, because he had an affair with the female lead, whom I thought would be living happily ever after with the male lead.

* * *
“Come back.”

I turned my body back to look at Erdan.

“It was all a misunderstanding. I’ll explain everything...”
“Alright.”

Erdan, who had been speaking reluctantly, widened his eyes and looked at me.

“What did you say?”
“I said I’ll come back to your side.”

I smiled sweetly at the bewildered Erdan.

Yes. I’ll go back.
To the place where you all humiliated me.
And there, I’ll bring you down the same way you did to me. <<less

"The Price of Saving a Count’s Life? Your Body."... more>>

Serenia Barishart, the sole heiress of a fallen countship, found herself proposed to in front of an audience.

The one who knelt before her? None other than Rascal Admancanon, the Duke from a rival family—her sworn enemy.

‘I can’t marry the man who tried to poison my father.’

Determined, Serenia sold herself instead.

Her buyer? A suspiciously handsome and unnervingly wealthy man whose name she didn’t even know.

But then…

That man turned out to be Ain Reveron, the capital’s most popular actor!

She knew his sweet words were nothing more than performances and playful lies.

Yet, Serenia couldn’t understand why her heart raced at his touch and his voice.

Caught between truth and deceit, on the precarious edge of secrets and illusions—will Serenia’s drama on this stage end safely, or will the curtain fall in tragedy? <<less

“I’ve regressed. So marry me.”

“…...Tell me more in detail.”

Calix Faon (23/War Hero). The most promising groom in the Empire. He is currently receiving a crazy proposal from his childhood friend, whom he hasn’t seen in five years.

--------

'My life is completely ruined.'

Princess Lizbeth Armierosha realized this only after standing in front of the gallows.

"Any last words?"

"I'll kill you with my own hands, you crazy bastard."

Lizbeth, whose ruined marriage led to the downfall of her family, died. When she opened her eyes, she somehow returned to the moment right before she was about to get married.

Miraculously given a second chance, Lizbeth decides to become the crazy idiot of the area, determined not to repeat her ruined life this time......

"If neither of us has a lover by the time we turn 21, let's just marry each other."

When we were little and didn’t know any better, I made that promise to my childhood friend. So I ended up proposing to him.

"Actually… I’m pregnant with Calix’s child."

"Ah, Dad’s going to faint! Hey, catch him!"

"Just put the sword down first! Sis! Brother!"

To avoid ending up with a total loser, I became a fire-type filial daughter.

“Your Highness, I will make you the crown prince. But there is a condition.”

“What is that?”

“To completely destroy the first prince.”

To take down the madman who ruined her life, Lisbeth even joined hands with the eccentric prince.

As her plan for a peaceful second life moves steadily forward, her most loyal supporter, her childhood friend, says:

"I just want to give you whatever you want."

"…"

"Please, let me do that for you, Lizbeth."

Even when she opens the door and tells him to get out of this crazy mess, he shows no sign of leaving. <<less

‘I want to travel to a place unknown to the many…’... more>>

It was a passing wish to the weary and tired Eugene and she’d not think it’d ever come to pass… but it did.

She opened her eyes and found she was sent to a novel-like world she wrote in passing and became Jin Anika, the scorned queen notorious for her ruthlessness and undeserving of her status.

Queen Jin only sought and desired to see the destruction of this world — the villainess who met her untimely and miserable end at the hands of her husband, Kasser, the reigning king of the Fourth Kingdom.

While struggling to survive in the unknown world, King Kasser visited Eugene and demanded that a contract be fulfilled and come to fruition.

“Three years ago, we made a deal.”

It turns out the Queen was under a contractual marriage with King Kasser. The ultimate price? To bear him a child.

“A… a child?”

“Yes, my successor.” <<less

I became a side-character who died in anguish because of her good-for-nothing husband.... more>>

If I can’t avoid getting married, why don’t I change who I marry instead?

“Excellent, marriage sounds good.”

“Wise choice. Then let’s have a wedding ceremony that isn’t too ceremonious. Following that, I’ll need you to go down to the Fief and behave like the lady of the house until I call for you. Naturally, there won’t be any time to spend in leisure whilst dousing yourself in luxuries."

"I’m not marrying you, but your father instead."

“......Pardon?"

"I’m not going to marry you. Do you have a problem with that?" <<less

I was a skilled pharmacist, yet I was falsely accused and poisoned to death by my own husband.

But what is this?

Miraculously, I returned to the past, and before me stood the sickly prince, Claude.

Desperate to break off my engagement with my ex-husband, I agreed to a contract marriage with Claude in exchange for curing his illness…

"You will not take a single step out of this mansion without my permission."

His crimson eyes flickered with a mad obsession.

The moment my certificate of recovery was burned right before my eyes, I made up my mind.

I would escape while the prince was asleep.

Or so I thought…

"Trying to run away in secret, without a shred of fear? Have you grown tired of treating me and found someone else to heal?"

"…Is it Luan? Are you planning to go to him? Are you taking care of him instead of me now?"

"…Surely not, right? You wouldn’t do with him what you did with me—sleeping together, touching, licking… doing everything we did, would you?"

Ha.

All I wanted was to take revenge on the family that betrayed me.

Yet, I ended up becoming his obsessive, beloved doll.

Will I ever achieve my dream of living freely after my revenge? <<less

The Crown Prince, whom I first saw at an imperial party—insanely handsome—suddenly acted as if he knew me.... more>>

"I heard that a woman who suddenly looked like an East Asian was adopted into the Rubiche family, so I wondered. But to think it was you. I wasn’t crazy. I wasn’t losing my mind after all."

And then, as he said that, he started crying his eyes out. On top of that, it turns out this man was my boss back in Korea.

The Crown Prince, known as the madman of the Empire—my former boss—would call me to the imperial palace every chance he got.

“Tell me about Korea.”

“It’s been five years, so my memory’s a bit fuzzy.”

“Just tell me. For me, it’s been more than twenty years.”

That big of a time difference?

Surprised, I looked at his face— and saw him crying again. Why does he keep crying?

“I missed you so much. It was driving me mad.”

Then he buried his face in my palm and started sobbing, making things even more awkward for me.

Because we were in the middle of a meal, and the Empress and Emperor were staring at us mid-bite with expressions like they’d lost their appetites. <<less

I was told to die. ... more>>

From colleagues who I have been together with for 10 years.

“I’m sorry, Rin. Die for the world instead.”

Just like that, when it all felt like it was over.

'...huh?' Rin opened her eyes again.

“You s*upid and even ungrateful girl! It seems obvious that I will be used by another guy, not knowing the grace that brought me to my castle!”

After 30 years, I became an illegitimate child of the great family of Tuslena, who is called the apostle of God!

* * *

“You are the best talent. It would be a shame to leave you to rot here. Won't you come with me?"

Rin looked at the man who held out her hand to her. She is one of the four heroes that the world praises.

A man who betrayed her former colleague Rin, wants to adopt her because she resembles his now-dead sword skills.

Are you crazy? Is this an adoption shop for you? <<less

"I never loved you."... more>>

I was abandoned overnight.

He said he only loved me because of the love potion, and that all the time we’d spent together, everything between us, had only existed because of it.

The lover who left me was engaged to another woman in less than a month.

If only that had been the worst of it.

"They say she used some awful trick just to get a man."

Everyone turned their backs on me.

"It wasn’t like that!"

But no one believed me.

Love, friendship, honor—I lost them all in an instant.

Time passed, like hell itself.

And then, three men appeared before me, out of nowhere.

"I don’t know why, but my heart raced when I saw you."

A holy knight with a calm face, relentlessly confessing his love.

"Don’t run away. And don’t tell me to leave you, either."

A mysterious attendant, all prickles on the outside, but oddly gentle underneath.

"Why won’t you use me?"

The Empire’s one and only war hero, who couldn’t take his eyes off me.

I didn’t want to believe it, but…

It was that damned love potion again.

Who is it?

Who keeps pushing me to the edge like this?

"It’s an illness. It’s a sickness. Not love."

At last, I fed them the antidote,

And I thought I was finally free of them.

…Then why are they still looking at me like that?

This fake love farce should have ended long ago. <<less

I worked my bu*t off like crazy until I really died.... more>>

When I opened my eyes again, I was neither in heaven nor hell, but in the 19+ romance fantasy novel I had been reading before I died.

But of all people, I had possessed a princess of a ruined country who had been adopted into a duke's family and was a villainess with a ruined personality...

It's okay! Now I'll just spend money and turn my life around with a silver spoon in my mouth!

I thought to myself in my head, but as soon as I possessed her, I was kicked out without a single penny.

In the end, I got a job as a maid at a temple that provided room and board.

I planned to date a bit in this life and achieve my dream of becoming rich that I couldn't before.

But there was something strange about this temple.

There are a lot of good-looking men,but... there must be some strange vein flowing through it.

It was full of only idiots. <<less

I’ve transmigrated into a martial arts novel.... more>>

Not as a supporting character, nor even an extra, but as a 13-year-old girl with no mention whatsoever.

"Another day spent doing laundry all day, I suppose."

In the novel, my role is that of a maid in the Heavenly Demon Sect.

I took on this high-paying job to provide a better life for the grandmother who raised me alone through hardships.

The problem lies in the novel’s content.

Heavenly Demon’s Reign.

A story where the male lead, so cruel that he’d tear his closest aides to pieces if displeased, dominates the martial world entirely.

Fortunately, the point of the story I’ve entered is during the male lead’s childhood.

The contract I signed to be a maid lasts five years, and if I could endure just two more months, I’d be able to escape the sect.

But then, I suddenly get reassigned as the male lead’s personal maid, completely throwing off my plans.

Now, I must prove my usefulness to survive.

As I desperately focus on doing my job well, I find the male lead staring at me constantly.

With terrifyingly intense eyes.

"...Is there something else you need?"

My dream is to travel the martial world hand in hand with my grandmother, but I’m not sure if that will ever be possible.

It’s not just the male lead—why does the Heavenly Demon look at me with such deep, soulful eyes?

And why does the Ghost Soul Pavilion Lord keep frequenting my grandmother’s noodle shop?

Even the male lead’s siblings are acting strange.

Why are they all so interested in me, just a lowly maid?

"You remind me of my first love."

"You’re my last love."

"You’re one of our family now."

...Excuse me?

Me? <<less

I, a former national fencing champion, have been reincarnated as an extra empress in a novel I wrote myself.... more>>

But this woman is so frail—her stamina is practically nonexistent. On top of that, against my will, I threw a necklace at the emperor. Just like that, was I going to die for committing lèse-majesté? Or so I thought…

“You always act in ways I can’t understand. Why is that? It’s what draws my interest.”

His looks, his power, and even the title of emperor—he’s an overpowered male lead who has started to obsess over me. His dark hair is as deep as the night sky, his face sculpted by the gods themselves, and those vivid green eyes burn with intensity—not for the female lead, but for me.

As if that wasn’t confusing enough, both the female lead and the villainess are acting completely differently from their original roles. And then there’s someone I never created showing up and reaching out to me…

“Do you think I’m the only one who knows your true identity?”

Will she be able to survive in this world of her own creation? And where will the tip of the sword ultimately point? <<less

One day, I found out that I was a side character in a hero comic book.... more>>

The original story is about heroes in leather jackets cleaning up criminals in a corrupted city.

My brother was the most powerful villain who was destined to fall at the hands of the heroes.

So, I decided to seduce the hero to change the downfall that awaited my brother and me.

However…

"What's this? You look like a squid. Stop being annoying and leave."

The protagonist of this world had a knack for inviting trouble with his sharp tongue.

***

One day, I found a half-dead man collapsed in the front yard.

And this man... He was the notorious hero from the original story.

The same hero who turned just as corrupt as the criminals he fought, becoming a moral-free anti-hero.

"You are a good person. I don't want to blow off a good person's head with my own hands."

So please, don't commit any crimes.

The anti-hero's chilling words sent shivers down my spine.

***

After escaping and hiding from my villain brother, the hero, and the anti-hero, it wasn't long before my brother found me—by joining forces with the hero.

"Being under my protection is safer than having a petty sense of freedom."

Being alive is what matters most, regardless of the kind of life I live.

My brother was angrier than I'd ever seen him in my life.

And then, the hero, his face filled with annoyance, said, "If you try to hide again, I'll make sure you never leave, even if it means throwing you in prison."

And as for the anti-hero, who left mountains of villain corpses in his pursuit of me, said, "Giselle. My love. Would you rather lose your head, or live like you're dead by my side?"

Oh merciful gods above, it seems this life is destined for ruin. <<less

The Empire’s one and only princess. ... more>>

She had everything within her grasp from the moment she was born: a keen intellect, superior talents, even the position as the heir to the throne. One day, before her twentieth birthday, she begins to have dreams. These dreams show her the events that are to happen dozens of years later. She believes this foresight is a blessing from the heavens and is thankful for it.

However, the more she dreams, the stranger they become. The future Sienna envisioned was nothing like this. The half-brother she despised has retaliated. Her mother, who Sienna had believed to be her absolute ally, has a hidden agenda. And finally a man who has great influence over her, both in reality and in her dreams, appears before her.

Suddenly, everything around her begins to change, transforming her in the process. <<less

“I’ll escape. From you, even if I have to die.”... more>>

I can’t remember the face of the man who made me unable to die.

I woke up, forgetting his name and voice, only knowing that I had fled from him.

“Whatever it is, I… want to help.”

A man who approaches and shows kindness to someone like me.

I saw hope while being with this captivating man.

I believed I could start a new life with this gentle man.

But…

“You’re still pretending to be innocent, I see.”

A madman who knows all the secrets yet demands trust, saying he’ll help me.

“Keep struggling. You’ll never escape me anyway.”

That man who was already lurking around.

He, who is both my love and my hatred, slowly tightens his grip on my neck.

I made a final bet with the one who whispered, placing his hand on my shoulder.

If I win…

This time, please kill me.

Grant me eternal rest. <<less

I possessed a supporting character in a reverse harem novel.... more>>

As a young concubine who gained the interest of the emperor. The concubines and male lords eventually killed her for treason.

Fortunately, I possessed her just as she was entering the Imperial Palace. Everyone in the Imperial Palace was wary of me, but didn’t hate me yet. I don’t need nor want to be loved by the emperor.

“Come to my room tonight. I’ll read you a fairy tale!”

"Woo, don’t cry. I’ll give you this.”

But why is everyone so soft towards me? I don’t understand. <<less

Ten years after the territorial war that infested half of the continent ended.... more>>

A document with a pure gold seal flew into the territory of Isaac Mezerine, the former hero.

The Imperial’s Divorce Letter sent to his only daughter, Klisha Mezerine, who is not yet married.

Even just with the unexpected divorce, she’s already going crazy and jumping around, but she’s going to be exiled for 10 years according to the Imperial Rule?

“Are you all out of your mind? I’m not even married yet! What divorce!!!!”

It can’t be, she’ll go to the capital and get it right!

However, contrary to the initial plan, which was confident enough, things kept getting tangled up and tangled up?

***

Klisha, who barely arrived on time, was speechless.

It wasn’t because the bank was closed or because her black card was blocked.

That one in front of her, the one with dozens of papers on either side of the main gate of the bank … wanted for the bounty she only heard of?

「★★WANTED★★」

> Name: Klisha Mezerine (Sasha Lynn). 21 years old.

> Features: Red hair. Almond eyes. Woman. Jailbreaker. (Rune operator, ferocious momentum)

> Bounty: 10,000 Ruel.

※ If you bring the limb intact, there will be an additional 10,000 Ruel.

Klisha’s eyes turned white.

She was the youngest daughter of a villainous family and had possessed the body of the villainess of the original novel.... more>>

However…

“Once again, you’ve spent money extravagantly. Well done.”

“Daughter, shall we go shopping with Daddy? I bought another boutique just for you yesterday.”

“Here’s the key to the safe. If you need more, just let me know.”

“Evelyn, I had a top made just for you, so I can give you the very best!”

All I did was spend money, but the villainous family treated me very well.

With a family like that, who cares if I’m a villain or not?

I had thought about cutting ties with the original story because I didn’t want to trigger a love affair for the main characters or get entangled in death flags.

But then…

“The Princess forgot about me, it’s unbelievable.”

“Does the Princess treat love like a joke?”

Whenever I tried to distance myself, the main couple grabbed me.

It couldn’t be helped; the mad are the best at dealing with the mad.

As a last resort, I bought the craziest character in the original story, the sub-male lead and the leader of the underworld.

“Now, 200 gold. Play the role of my fiancé and try to drive them away.”

“That’s easy enough. Agreed.”

And just in case, I added another purse to the offer.

“…I’ll add another condition for 300 gold.”

“What is it?”

“Don’t fall for me.”

With a mischievous grin, Raphael laughed and said,

“Of all people, the Princess should not fall for me!” <<less

The ducal house to which the second male lead belonged to is a military family.... more>>

She thought she should repay them for giving her free food and a place to sleep.

She told the second male lead about this and that. All so that he could win the heart of the female lead later.

At this rate, he would become a good man and win her love in the future. (Proud)

*

“And most importantly.”

Rieta looked around and whispered in Noel’s ear.

“Only be polite and friendly to your most special person.”

Only tell her that she is pretty and that you love her.

Rieta thought he must have understood, right? When she asked, Noel grinned with confidence.

Oh, I’ve taught you everything.

From the age of nine until now before the coming-of-age ceremony…It was very hard to teach her childhood friend who had a terrible bad temper.

But now, Noel wouldn’t be called the unlucky second lead anymore. Maybe he would really push the male lead away and take the female lead to his side.

Rieta grinned as she thought of a different future from the original.

Then Noel swept up her hair down and said,

“You’re pretty, Rieta Liz.”

“?”

“…You asked me to say you were pretty right?”

She, when did she?! You’re not supposed to say that to your friend! <<less
