Liv Rodaise was an ordinary tutor.

To pay for her sick sibling’s medicine, she had discreetly posed as a nude model a couple of times. She thought it wouldn’t be an issue—after all, only her back was painted.

That is, until someone purchased the nude painting that revealed her profile.

***

“God may listen, but He doesn’t grant wishes.”

The words were muttered cynically, barely loud enough for Liv to hear.

“The power to achieve something lies with humans, Teacher.”

His low voice was chilling, yet somehow alluring, like the song of a siren.

His blue eyes, which had been fixed on the statue, flicked down to Liv.

“So, pray to me.”

The marquis’s lips twisted ever so slightly. That fleeting moment of eye contact felt like an eternity.

“Who knows? A miracle might happen.” <<less

She wrote a letter there, at an antique storage box of books that I got by a mere chance, and a reply came back.... more>>

From the handsome playboy Prince, Archie Albert , the pathetic supporting character in “The Princess and the Knight,”

Cordelia had a dream that she had a conversation with the main character in the novel.

Prince Archie desperately needs the advice of Cordelia, who knows the future of his world.

The letters they send and receive through the storage box of books continue without knowing that they are staying up late at summer nights..….

To Archie,

Have you ever done that?

I was walking with someone, and there was a flower blooming on the road.

So you did it with that man?

To the low-life Archie,

You are really indecent, Prince.

I am afraid that I am a ‘woman’ who thinks too much about sleeping with a man whom I met for the first time.

Sleeping? I was talking about kissing.

Oh, kiss? <<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?”

“Does my child not exist in this world?”

“I don’t need a world where the child I love doesn’t exist.”

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

“What are you thinking about?”... more>>

“I’m thinking about a guy.”

KyungHyun stopped in the middle of a deep kiss and sighed. His lips began to form a smile, but his fierce glare said otherwise. Possessiveness and jealousy spread across his sculpted face.

“Will you tell me his name?”

His easygoing and languid voice reached her ears.

“Why?”

“So that I can shoot him down.” <<less

Tite Loves Yohan, but does Yohan love Tite?

"Do you want your passport back?"... more>>

He stared straight at her eyes that were clearly shining under her short bangs.

"…Give it back."

"Then you will have to work hard for it."

While she was chewing the meat in her mouth hard, the next piece of meat came into her mouth right after. Avoiding it was not as simple because she thought the fork would become a weapon in this man's hand.

The meat that she barely chewed and fell over her neck in chunks.

"What should I do to get it back?”

"While growing up, did no adults tell you this? You can't just say what you want, so don't say it like that."

A large chunk of meat could not fall over and felt stuck somewhere in her throat. Sarin clenched her fist and tapped her chest.

"Hmm…"

"Well, if you'd just spent that money on laundry, we wouldn't have had a chance to face each other like this. Don't you think so?"

It was a simple favour until the money was received, and then it was malice. Owen's interest borders on malice. His golden eyes glistened. It looked like a completely crazy look, it gave her goosebumps from the inside of her wrist.

"…My flight is just around the corner. I have to go back."

Not interested in feeding anymore, he laid down his fork carelessly. She could hear the sound of metal hitting the plate.

"That's your situation."

Word is that her situation is not over yet. <<less

The witch, Eleonora Asil, has fifteen previous convictions.... more>>

And the transmigrator, Noah Park, had no intentions of being involved in the novel’s original plot of the dragon beheading the villainess. With that thought in mind, she abandoned her title as The Wicked Witch and sought to live a long and peaceful life.

So she heads down to the countryside wrought with deep remorse for all her misdeeds. And all should be happy… or she thought.

“Please raise me!”

And so it would seem that she stumbled upon the heroine’s pet dragon — the black-haired kid that would turn ballistic and obsessive later on — imprinted the villainess as his mother. And to make matters worse, the male lead suspects her as the prime culprit of stealing the dragon.

“How long should I keep up with you?”

She thought he’d arrest her right away, but seems like the male lead was slowly becoming the dragon’s butler.

“Can I hug you?”

“No.”

“Then… can you hold me?”

The villainess believes that the dragon needs a bit of taming.

‘Oh, male lead, won’t you sign a life contract as a real butler?’ <<less

"You're quite fearless."... more>>

His voice was soft.

"Do you feel safe because I said I won't lay a finger on you? You're not just trying to see how far I can endure, right?"

The moment she lifted her head to look at him, she felt something drop in her chest. Sunwoo took a step back. His pupils were calm, but they were as restless as the heat flowing from his body.

"Don't cross the line."

He said and gave a slight smile. That smile was perfectly affectionate, so it felt rather contrived. Goosebumps rose from her arm.

"What happens if I cross it?"

"I might swallow you up." <<less
