*This novel is set in a fictional time and place, with numerous occult and horror elements... more>>

Layla, who was born as the daughter of a witch, had the ability to see 'things that should not be seen' from the moment of her birth.

I don't want to see it, but I see it, I don't want to hear it, but I hear it.

She didn't want to see, but she saw; she didn't want to hear, but she heard. Although she was a powerful psychic, her life was filled with horror as she could see and hear things she shouldn’t.

A man suddenly appeared in front of her as she lived alone and was ostracized by the village, it was Eustar Hyianmoric.

He was the Crown Prince of the Shearlow Kingdom and the head of the knightly order ‘Tentinella’. He desired Layla's extraordinary eyes and ears.

Layla, who became Eustar's spouse on the surface by the King order, paired up with him to solve the eerie phenomena of the Shearlow Kingdom in exchange for tremendous compensation, honor, and freedom.

What was the King plotting, and what was Eustar hiding?

And what was the initial secret that even Layla herself didn’t know? <<less

“Send me to the past.” That's how the first step toward revenge began.

“I didn’t cheat on you with your fiancé; it was fate, do you understand?”... more>>

The heroine eloped with my fiancé.

On the day of our engagement.

After a moment of disbelief, the male lead came to me.

“The lady I picked out for the contract marriage ran off with her friend’s fiancé.”

“Goodness, there’s a lady just like me.”

“So I’m thinking of proposing a contract marriage to that friend.”

The eyes beneath the bushy eyebrows gleamed sharply.

“Will you marry me, milady?”

… It seems to be me.

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

Since my fiancé ran away anyway, there wasn’t much choice; I entered the wedding hall with the male lead.

I agreed to the contract with the intention of running away if necessary.

“I’ll try to make you a precious person to everyone.”

His fingertips, which descended to my earlobe, lightly brushed my tiny earring.

Shivers ran down my spine.

“The earring suits you very well.”

The earring had a purple gem that matched his eye color.

Something seems wrong with this contract marriage after all. <<less

"I'm pregnant... It's just a malicious rumour that will soon disappear." ... more>>

The shocking news spread that Lady Setina Belbourne, an unknown man's child, had given birth, causing a stir in society. It was the work of her jealous younger sister and stepmother who wanted to take away her fiancé. General Axion Castawyn, the commander-in-chief of the imperial army, proposed to marry Setina, who had been jilted.

"I need a child, but using a real one would be pitiful, so a fictional one would be perfect."

He is the ruler of people, who with his mere presence, captures people's attention and even scares away beasts. Axion Castawyn smiled quietly like darkness. Setina decided to marry him for revenge, but the chillingly cold duke seemed strange.

"So from now on, we should be passionate lovers. A couple so in love that a baby could be conceived before we even enter the wedding hall."

Isn't it too intimate for a contractual marriage?

"My wife belongs to me. She has always been mine. I have no intention of forgiving those who have insulted my wife."

Are you more aggressive than me in seeking revenge? Is this really okay? <<less

A bag of blood for the Duke!... more>>

In the novel ‘The Duke Who Drinks Blood’, I was possessed by an extra whose blood gets s**ked mercilessly by the male lead and then dies.

For him, who can only use his power by drinking blood, Leoni in the original story calmly gave blood, but since I am the only person who can save the male lead, do I need to be obedient?

“I can’t walk because I’m dizzy because I got blood drawn. Please lift it there and move.”

So I tried to work as much as I could and ran away far beyond the north…

“It’s been a while, Your Highness the Duke. Uh… Should I call you your Majesty now?”

“I’ve made it very clear. I’ll never let you go.”

Why the hell is this damn prologue showing no signs of ending! <<less

The child in my womb died because of my husband's mistress.... more>>

However, he was still busy protecting the woman.

“It was a mistake.

“There’s no way she did it on purpose.”

“It was our child. My child, your child! She's dead... .

“I feel like the baby is still alive in my stomach.”

I was the only one sad about losing my child. I don't even know what I gave up to be by your side. …

I can't do this anymore, I can't do this anymore.

I hate you so much now. For me, and for my child who left because of me, a fool.

“Don’t ever see us again.”

Anyway, if I turn around like this, I'm just a stranger. <<less

After loving his beautiful and cold wife, all that was left to Idren was her dead body.... more>>

“I hate you now too.”

Three years of marriage taught him that there was a deeper abyss than unrequited love.

At the end of that abyss, he traveled back in time.
Idren realized something when he came face to face with Ophelia from the past.

No matter how many times he fell into the deep abyss, it was his destiny to return to her.

***

He was a quiet husband. Knows how to keep the line and does not make unreasonable demands.

A man she wouldn't be sorry to turn her back on at any time.

To Ophelia, Idren was just that.

“I love you…”

She didn't know she would say something like this to him.

Kissing the other person's cheek, which was stained with tears and wounds, Ophelia thought.
Have you ever felt this sad and heartbroken?

“I love you. I should have told you sooner.”

To the man who threw the embers into the cold sea, she hoped these words were not too late. <<less

A blunt husband who often leaves home for wars of conquest. Their daughter Lucy, born amidst that.... more>>

"You know, Benjamin from Count Orsini says that when dad comes back, I'll have a baby brother."

Their daughter's wish is a bit embarrassing.

Moreover, their daughter... doesn't seem ordinary.

She's intelligent, capable, and pretty.

No matter that she's her daughter, how can she be this perfect!

"Princess Lucy borrowed and returned a book on the history of the Eastern Continent that was in the Lord's study."

Reading a book on Eastern Continent history at age 7,

"Mom, you know... Sorry. But I wanted to solve it myself..."

She's trying to resolve major household matters herself!

Ariel is extremely worried,

But her husband seems to have forgotten that Lucy is just 7 years old.

A husband who knows everything yet remains indifferent!!

My husband has another woman.

And it's his first love who has been missing for 7 years.

My husband was still obsessed with finding that woman.

To make matters worse, he was convinced that I had something to do with her.

"Tell me where Rachel is. Then maybe I'll give you the night you so desperately beg for."

His hands, which had torn at my dress, came up roughly.

Just as my flustered face was about to fall apart, he stopped his mocking caress.

A bitter smile crept up above his lips.

The problem is that I am the 'woman' he is looking for. <<less

He said he hoped I would die in the spring.
That way, there will be more flowers that can be placed on my grave.
He was my one and only childhood friend, and I was his first love.
Our tragedy is one thing.
I was terminally ill and had to die at the age of 15.... more>>

But somehow I survived another 10 years,
Was thrown away as a toy for a night by a tyrant.

But why?
Why is the tyrant's face so familiar?

“It looks like they found the doll well this time.”

The spring flowers that decorated me,

“As long as you are by my side, you are Rowell.”

He called my name.

Meeting him again after 10 years, he couldn't forget me, who was thought to be dead.
It was ironic.
Actually, I came back to kill him. <<less

"You made me miserable.”... more>>

My husband, Carlothian, loved the saint of the empire.

After the ugly jealousy, what remained was the stigma of cursing the saint.

It happened when I gave up everything after so much regret.

"So the body I'm possessing is the villainess of the century who cursed the saint?"

Oh come on, Not me. A singer who lost their voice in a car accident, 'I,' opened my eyes. With a body that could no longer sing, I intended to die just like that.

"I won't let you die.”

My husband, who once loved the saint, is acting strange. Why now?

I am not Ariadeline who was drowning in love.

"What on earth are you thinking?”

"I'm thinking of making you love me again."

Unlike my confused self, Carlothian smiled.

"You already loved me once."

Since you already loved me once, won't loving me twice be easier?

The teary sound filled the room thickly. <<less

"Hey, jackpot! I got an A-level aptitude!"

"Really? I'm only C-level..."

"I'm a 'Fire Mage.' This is an S-level aptitude. Awesome, right?"

"Sounds good? I also got an S-level 'adamantine warrior.'"

====================

I knew that now that I was an adult, I would be sold.... more>>

However, I did not know that I would be used as a sacrifice.

“Were you abandoned?”

What waited for Bianca, who entered the empty reception room alone, was not despair, but Jillian Baloch.

He was a young and beautiful duke called the Dragon of Termina.

Not being oppressed by anyone or anything, including force, wealth, and power.

A man who seemed infinitely distant and did not seem human.

“Duke Baloch.”

The man who would tear me to death, the poor duke who lost his ancestral Duke at the hands of her father, The Emperor.

He laughed when Bianca called in a trembling voice. Sweetly, not like a smile directed at me, the daughter of an enemy.

And then he slowly called Bianca.

"Yes, madam?”

I was a sacrifice. An imperial sacrifice offered to the angry dragon of Termina.

“Duke?”

“The word 'Duke' feels too distant. Please call me Jillian, madam.”

“.......”

“Husband and honey are fine too.”

The beauty of a smiling man..

The man was crazy sweet. So much so that my heart was pounding without even knowing the reason. <<less

And she did.

“Sophie, look here.”
“I baked your favorite cookies. Ignore him and eat this with me.”
“If there is anything you want, you can say anything. Whatever it is, it will be in your arms.”

The families who turned away from her have changed.

To get the attention of the cold youngest, they began to neglect working as a villain.

In the meantime, an unexpected twist came to her.

“Sophie.”

Long dark red hair fluttered in the air. It was like a sight of rose petals that were dyed at night. The pink eyes laughed purely like when she was a child.

Lun, who was alive and well, patted her cheeks.

His hand was as cold as ever.

“Because you like a good person, you gave up everything.”

He, who was a hidden villain, came out with his own veil. Even erased the word villain.

Is this an illusion? <<less

“If there’s anything you want, feel free to do it. It doesn’t matter whether you remodel the castle, buy jewelry, or throw a party.”

“…….”

“But I don’t want to see you in the morning, so refrain from doing that.”

The gentleman of her memory was no more.

There was only a cold man standing there who did not have a trace of affection or warmth.

“Your heart is of no use to me.”

“You’ll stay with me today, right?”

Except for one person, her husband, Noah Astrid.

He knelt down on his knees, put shoes on her feet, and held a glass of water to her mouth, telling her to drink it.

“Think carefully about what I should have received and what you have to pay me in exchange for marrying you. It’s not difficult.”

What she must pay for her salvation

It was the thing she hated the most in the world.
