She fell into a novel.... more>>

If she can find true love, then she’d be able to have a happy ending.

However, after the story reached its end, what greeted her was death.

And when she opened her eyes once more, she returned to the very same beginning.

She fell in love yet again,

But the ending was, still, death.

Poison… strangulation… illness… falling… being crushed… burned alive… starved to death…

As she welcomed her 117th birthday,

Carynne Hare decided to become a mu*derer. <<less

‘Anyhow … I think I transmigrated into a romance fantasy novel.’... more>>

The problem is—I opened my eyes in a wake room. Within a coffin. At the funeral of this body’s owner. To make matters worse, I had read so many novels that I couldn’t remember which one I was in.

‘Ta-da~ you thought I was dead, right? I was not!’

On the other hand, I think I’m a villainess. My family is cold-hearted, and the servants shrink and shun me, often crying while looking at the air next to me. But it doesn’t matter! I’ll exploit my master in romance fantasy to get rid of my villainess tag!

But then, I found a strange pattern.

“What exactly is this?”

[How to summon •••]
‘Is it summoning formation to summon something like spirits or dragons? That’s good. A villainess needs at least one ability to protect herself.’

“Meow~”

‘But why was I chosen by a three-eyed leopard-patterned cheese cat, rather than spirits or dragons? Well, it doesn’t matter because it’s cute!’

A monster lives in Count Rohanson’s household. A creature lurking beneath the skin of the late Lady Evangeline.

“I’m Gabriel, commander of Paralos Knights. I’d like to know more about young lady Rohanson.”

‘Knight Commander, pitch black hair, azure eyes … Gabriel must be the male lead!’

“How foolish. You don’t even know your place. I’m not interested in you.”

“It doesn’t matter. I’m just curious about you.”

‘How come? Aren’t I the villainess? Go find your partner, the female lead!’

My aim is to use my summoning circle to protect myself! I’ll also look after Pudding the cat and Jelly the werewolf.

“By the way … why does everyone keep trembling whenever they see me?”

A story about a heroine who thinks she’s in a romance fantasy novel and the unsettling events that happen to those around her. <<less

Liv Rhodes was an ordinary tutor.... more>>

Avoiding other people’s gazes, she modeled nude a couple of times to pay for her sick sister’s medicine.

She thought there wouldn’t be a problem because she only let the painter draw her back.

Up until someone bought her nude painting with her side face revealed.

***

“Even if God listens, he will not grant it.”

The sarcastic murmur was so small that Liv could barely hear it.

“It is humans who have the power to achieve something, Teacher.”

The low voice was terrifyingly chill, but at the same time alluring, like a siren’s song.

The blue eyes, which had been staring at the statue the whole time, glanced down at Liv.

“So pray to me.”

The Marquis' mouth twisted very faintly.

This short moment of eye contact with him felt like an eon of time.

“Who knows? Maybe a miracle will happen.” <<less

Anais knew she was fated to die once the coup d’état ended. So, rather than dying in vain just as the original story mandated, she instead willingly stood in between Kylian, who she loved, and a gunshot, which would have killed him. And so, Anais died in place of him.... more>>

But after her demise, Kylian went crazy.
He did everything he could to revive Anais, however, the Anais who Kylian saved was a fake.

Meanwhile, despite dying once, Anais woke up in a different body. From there, she went to find Kylian so that everything could be restored, but… <<less

"I told you. You have to take responsibility for me. We have to get married.”... more>>

An unexpected difficulty appears in front of Yernia, who tried to find love in her hopes to avoid a forced marriage, but then, she became a dedicated guide to her childhood friend.
The current events aren’t happening the way they should be, and they have become so twisted compared to the original novel.

"I can't believe it."

She was just a supporting character who tormented the Female Lead and then died from the Male Lead’s hands.
Yet, it is undeniable that Yernia is his guide from the pieces of evidence he had gathered so far!

Yena tried to stop herself from marrying her childhood friend, but it turned out she had no choice.

However, unlike Yernia, who thought about divorcing him after being his guide for a little bit until the female protagonist arrives, Cassian seems to be serious about this marriage for some reason.
Even...

"I just can’t calm down today."

“You need more. Huh?"

Guiding requires more contact.

Well, is this what guides must do?

It felt strange, but the most bizarre thing to Yena was herself.

Why is her heart shaking so much?

The childhood friend, who she used to only see as a younger brother, begins to appear as a man. <<less

A bright future was guaranteed to her.
But only if she could graduate.... more>>

The graduation banquet finally arrived.

While looking at the mess caused by the prank of her childhood friend Kyle, who is a formidable troublemaker, Rosemary, the "Princess of the Student Council" who was taking control of the cool boys in the academy, suddenly appears and pours out inexplicable resentments.

“Is it a bug? The difficulty couldn't be this high. Kyle Villard is just a sub-character!”

Bug? Sub character? What the hell are you talking about? Her vision went dark.

When she opened her eyes, she was back to her life nine months ago.

5th grade started again, but Ariel's daily life, for someone who only wanted to graduate, began to change little by little. <<less

My parents died. I somehow avoided debt with the property I inherited, but I have three younger brothers!
It was impossible to live apart from the family, so I worked as a maid and somehow raised my younger siblings well. Now that things are settled with my family, I’m trying to find my life and love…... more>>

“Sister. Throw that man away. I will introduce you to a good man around me.”

It was suggested by my first brother, Edward. He’s my little brother, but he was a guy without blood or tears.
If there is a decent guy by his standards, it’s scary just imagining what his standard is, so when I turned down the blind date, Edward smiled softly.

“Sister. After doing a background check on that man, I found that he owed 50 million berks.”

Subsequently, Daniel, the second oldest, pretended to be surprised. Hey Daniel, you made that man owe you debt…

“Sister! Sister! Don’t just get married, live with us for the rest of your life!”

The youngest, Leonard, who said that, had blood splattered on his clothes. Every guy I’ve dated has strangely avoided me after meeting the youngest… And just hearing my name from you makes me tremble… I definitly have tried to raise my younger siblings well…so how did this happen? <<less

The genius sorcerer of the Riyat Empire, Ashin Judin.... more>>

After a long war, she was casually enjoying a nap when the emperor issued an order.

“Now that the war is over, you have nothing else to do. Get married.”

The other person was someone Ashin knew well.

Commander-in-Chief, Leotard Van Mur, whom she had clashed with on even the tiniest things during the war.

‘Even though it’s a political marriage, is it fine to get married like this? It seems like it would be better to run away for now.’

However, Leotard, having made a deal with the emperor, had no intention of letting Ashin go…

“Whether you want it or not, running away isn’t an option.”

“We both don’t want it, so why should we go this far?”

“As long as you fulfill your marital duties, I wouldn’t ask for anything else. Not a child, not you.”

Ashin believed that they could maintain their married life without seeing each other for at least three years, but is that true?

‘Wait, merely fulfilling my duties is enough? If it’s about marital duties…’ <<less

She was reincarnated in a cold wasteland where romance didn’t exist.... more>>

It was only a minor role whose name was not even mentioned, so she simply assumed that she would live a life that was far from the original.

On the night of a full moon, a male master had come to visit her, possessing a title that didn’t exist in the drama.

"The Marquis had asked for money in exchange for you.”

It took her a while to remember that he was a cold-blooded man who would draw his sword first and ask questions later.

Cherryl realized that her father was trying to sell her.

“I don’t think it’s a bad offer.”

The problem is that he was a savage monster who wasn’t capable of mercy.

Yet, if she let him go, she would have to be married to an aging, bald Earl.

Cherryl thought about running away at night but instead, she ended up leaving with Cade to the North.

“Do you think it’s all a coincidence?”

On the first night of the wedding, Cade kissed her wet cheeks tenderly and revealed his thoughts.

“Would you believe if I said I was living like a dog for this night?”

“Your—Your Grace.”

The man's golden eyes glittered with insidious longing. <<less

Before being born as Regina, she was an Empress in her past life named 'Yekarna'.... more>>

Having experienced the extremes of debauchery in her previous life as an Empress, she aims to lead a wholesome life this time around. However, her ill-fated connections from her past life, who have discerned her true identity, begin to approach one by one...

"Ask me to put it here, Your Majesty. I know you wanted it too."

"It's alright. If you can't remember me in your mind, I'll make sure you remember it in your body."

"You should be respectful with adults, Miss Heather."

"There's no need to surround yourself with many handsome men. But having me close by should be enough, right?"

Can she truly escape their clutches and attain a 'wholesome life'? <<less

She had never been real to them.... more>>

“I never thought of you as my wife.” Even her husband by contract,

“My wish? It’s for you to disappear.” Nor the son she didn’t share a drop of blood with.

Daphne decided to give up everything then.

The Madam disappeared. To be precise, she disappeared before the Young Lord’s birthday, leaving only a single letter. Everyone didn’t mind and thought that she would be back soon.

One day, two days, ten days.

The Madam didn’t return, and everyone went looking for her. But it was already too late. <<less

Liv Hamelsvoort, who bears the label of the ‘Fake Saintess’ and is the laughingstock of high society for her unrequited love for Duke Lartman. No one could understand her, but she likewise couldn’t understand them.... more>>

“I’m in the middle of enduring the love of the gods.”

There was a world that ordinary humans couldn’t dare to comprehend.

“Who harmed my child?”

The moment the enormous things she had been bearing were revealed, Liv’s life finally began to change.

“I will love you in any timeline, Your Grace.”

Liv was content as long as she could continue loving. But if she wanted to protect that love, she had to change; the world was whispering that to her. <<less

The butler, Raymond, who used the witch for his family.... more>>

The friend, Pel, who betrayed the witch for freedom.

The fiancé, Glenn, who deceived the witch for his lover.

None of them regretted it.

Thus, the witch, Leticia...

"Regression, you say. And at such a time."

When she returned to a time where she could not avoid death and faced her enemies, she made a firm decision.

If Leticia had to die anyway, she would make them regret killing her.

Even if she had to act to do so.

"Then you must live, Master. Live, split my heart in your hand, and laugh at me."

But why?

"It seems you still don't know, Leti. Without you, there is no me."

Why do you look at me like that?

"Do as you wish, young lady. Be it life or death. I will follow."

Leticia looked at those who would give everything to save just her.

Those who crumbled at her feet, regretting, even though she hadn't died yet.

There was affection there that no one had ever given her.

Of all places, there. <<less

“It would be my honor.”

“Sawol, listen to me when I’m speaking nicely. I don’t want to threaten you either.”

“What you’re doing is already a threat.”

“Please, just keep your mouth shut if you find out.”

Instead of protecting her secret, Esper Yugeon, who demands to be paired with her, has a reason for Sawol to avoid him. As a creman, she needs to periodically feed on blood, and Yugeon’s scent is too sweet to resist. Eventually, in order to keep her secret, she decides to be a pair with Yugeon.

Christine was an elite member of a guild who had excellent commissioning skills, but she couldn’t break the curse that caused abnormalities in her body. She suffered her whole life and was only exploited by the guild she worked for.... more>>

She infiltrated the Black Fang Guild, which was said to be full of people who inherited the blood of beasts, to retrieve the jewels that would relieve the pain caused by the curse, but she lost her life when the internal injuries she had suffered went beyond her limit.

But what was happening?

When she opened her eyes, she had returned to a time when she was relatively healthy.

In addition, the pain caused by the curse had surely subsided the moment she touched the gorgeous man who held her when she fell.

‘I might be able to break my curse if I approach that man.’

Christine deliberately approached him to find a clue to lift her curse, and succeeded in seducing him.

“I said I wouldn't hurt you, but you're not cooperating.”

“Ah…”

However… She had no idea that the man she spent the night with was the hidden power of the Black Fang Guild.

***

Christine regretted bringing up the spy conversation.

She knew how cruel the Black Fang Guild was to those who tried to harness their power.

As expected, Edgar’s eyes shone coldly when she mentioned the spy.

“If I find a spy… I’ll kill them.”

“…”

But for some reason, he looked at her frightened lips and added something he wouldn’t normally say.

“If the spy is pretty, I might let it go.” <<less

Liese has settled in a strange city with the stigma of being a fallen noble.
Desperate to make ends meet, she visits a duke's estate to find work as a maid.
The man she encounters is none other than the blonde officer she spotted by the lake.... more>>

"Lift up your skirt. Don't make me tell you twice."

The relationship that began as a misunderstanding was terrible. Marcus starts groping Liese and humiliating her.

"I thought you'd run away, but you crawled back. You're made for servitude, aren't you?"
"I'd do anything for my family."

Elysia lived in the shadow of a noble name, her once bright future now tarnished by the harsh hand of her husband, Dominic. For eight years, she endured a life of quiet suffering. But then came Enoch, a man whose words cut through the murk of her existence like a blade. His touch, firm and unexpected, stirred something in her.... more>>

“I don’t know what I’d do if I end up embracing you,” he said, his voice a low, dark promise. “Will you allow me to seduce you? It would very much please me.”

In the midst of her desolation, Elysia found a glimmer of something she had forgotten. Her world seemed to spin when she met Killian, a man who saw beyond her bruises. “The trade is equivalent to an exchange,” she said, her voice a whisper.

Killian, with a gaze that could see through lies, offered her a choice.

“Then take out what you have. I don’t know what it is, but it should be attractive enough. I don’t like cheap deals.”

Elysia, in her pain, shed her past like an old coat.

Killian’s eyes softened as he looked at her, his voice barely a murmur. “Do I look that frightening to you that I would not hold a battered woman? You’re beautiful, you know. Cherish yourself more. It is what you deserve. It is what you are owed.” <<less

“From today on, you will be my sister, who has been hidden from the public eye.”

“Okay.”

"The goal is to seduce and marry the son of the Della Valle family."

Cesare smiled, his eyes as bright as the morning stars.

“The deadline is in three months. Within that period you need to become a fine noble lady of the Buonaparte family. Everything about you, from your body, heart, mind, and speech, from your fingertips to your toes, will be polished. We’re gonna be fooling the entirety of high society.”

***

Adele looked at Cesare, who came to the engagement ceremony, and said calmly, “Your goal, and the entire reason you brought me into this in the first place was to marry Sir Ezra.”

"Yes, it was," Cesare answered meekly and let out a sharp laugh.

“Then, why do I feel so dirty?” <<less

One million laurents.

The debt her father left behind, and an amount she could never repay in her lifetime.... more>>

In her time of distress, Louisette was approached by a war hero.

"I'll pay you. One million laurents."

The item he wanted in exchange was the egg of his former mount.

"Do you think that paying off your debts is the end of it? This is only the beginning. The oil for your lanterns, the food and water for your consumption, the clothes, the wages of that maid standing outside, the fodder for your horses… How do you plan to pay for all of these?"

Money, money, money.

One must make money to survive!

And there was only one option left for Louisette—the abandoned dragon ranch.

"I’ll hire you, Monsieur. This brooch right here is your first wage"

'Let’s rebuild the ranch with the help of a legendary Dragon Knight! So, please, don’t make fun of me for being young!'

"As long as I am employed by you, I’ll protect you with everything I have."

'Stop making fun of me… Wait, are you serious…?' <<less

The Imperial Nefel Academy is said to be accessible only to selected elite mages.... more>>

One day, the dean of the academy came to me and scouted me as a professor.

Of course, I readily accepted due to the high regard for a mediocre mage like me and the overly generous conditions.

“The Imperial Nefel Academy’s employee handbook?”

“These are things you must follow if you want to work here.”

As expected, a prestigious academy is different in every way. I flipped through the paper, thinking it was nothing special.

◆Imperial Nefel Academy Employee Handbook◆

Welcome, new members of the historic Nefel Academy.

A total of 24 rules were created to help you adapt well to the academy.

However, please note that any disadvantages (such as injury, illness, death) caused by ignoring the handbook are entirely your responsibility.

(This is an unofficial document. Please make sure that it is not leaked to students or outside parties.)

“Ah….”

Why are there injuries, illnesses, and death in the disadvantages?

The conclusion I came to after thinking about it was that it was a dangerous work. In other words, the excessively good contract conditions were at the price of my life!

…Wait, what? <<less

Princess Stella is the unwanted burden of her kingdom, cherished only for her pretty face. Oppressed in her homeland, she faces the grim prospect of being sold off as tribute the moment she comes of age. It is in this desperate moment that she encounters a stranger who changes her fate.... more>>

“I’m looking for something important. I need your help, Princess.”

Until the prophecy reveals that it isn’t the jewel, but her sacrifice that is needed to save him from becoming a monstrous beast. <<less

The city has fallen. Her family is dead. Her friends were killed right before her eyes.... more>>

Veronica ran, but it was futile. The moment she locked eyes with it, her life was turned upside down.

“You’ve already been assimilated.”

The man, who roughly grabbed her by the hair, stared at her with disdain as she struggled.

“Do you want to live?”

“Ugh… hng…”

“Even if you have to crawl through the fires of hell, do you still want to survive?”

“Let me go…”

“Answer me. If you say you want to die, I’ll make sure it’s painless.”

I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die. I’ve only just been reborn.

“Then say you want help.”

The man, as if reading her thoughts, muttered in a low voice. His burning gaze pierced straight through her.

“I want to live… Help me.”

At that moment, she had no idea that his holy breath and saliva would save her. That he would become her god in the absence of the one who had disappeared. <<less
