Tonight, once again, he yearned for her purification.... more>>

It had been an unhappy life.

Despite possessing the power of purification, Irene was deemed the lowest rank, never having received anyone’s love or acceptance in her short life. Even in her final moments, she died alone and lonely, yet strangely, she found herself back in the past.

And not just any past but right before meeting her husband, Michael, the man she had ruined.

‘This is the first mistake I must correct in this life. That is…not getting involved with Michael.’

*

However, Michael seems peculiar.

"I... I need you. Please purify me."

He asked for purification first.
A paladin, this holy man, comes to me every night.

"Irene. My pair. My wife. Tonight, I want to be cleansed by you. Long and slow."

You were definitely a paladin in a previous life who wouldn't even lay a finger on me, right? <<less

Yeon Dana, who possessed the body of ‘Danae Windsor,’ knows that the only way to return to her original world is through the dimensional gate. ... more>>

However, she gave up on returning because her loved ones cried and clung to her just before the gate that opened once every 100 years.

* * *
Three years later, All those who held onto Dana have changed.

“I have no intention of breaking our engagement. But I do plan to marry her as well.” Her fiancé, shamelessly committing adultery,

“It was just a joke, you know? I didn’t think you’d actually not go back.” Her younger brother confessed he held onto her as a prank.

“Did someone tie you up and prevent you from leaving?” Her cousin mocked her irresponsibly.

“The dimensional gate has closed. Dana, you can’t leave now! So, adapt quietly to this world!”

But Dana knows. She knows how to end this possession and return. Briefly saddened by the betrayal of her love, Dana burns with rage, preparing for revenge and escape.

These b*stards deceived me.

Really. This time, she wanted to live a good life.

You guys touched the wrong person.

She decides to return to her original world. At the moment, they believe Dana will stay by their side forever. <<less

This time, you will be the ones who will be horribly destroyed.... more>>

There were various modifiers for the villainess Odette Lina von Albrecht, who appeared in the 19+ corrupted reverse harem game.

A deceiver who deceived the Empire by pretending to be a purifier when she was not. A witch who committed evil deeds that were too evil to even speak of and toyed with the four male protagonists who were transcendent.

However, there was something that the players who played the game and the male protagonists who hated and pursued Odette didn't know.

"You are nothing more than a toy in our house. Since your master has decided to abandon you, you should die happily."

All of Odette's terrible evil deeds were not based on her will. However, that fact was never revealed. Because Odette, who was falsely accused, eventually met her death at the hands of the male protagonists.

It was definitely going to end like that.

"...Could it be that you have come back?"

She returned to the past. And at the moment of her death, she realized that she had been reincarnated as Oddette.

***

A second life was given, a future where she knew exactly what would happen. I was going to show the family who betrayed me a real hell and use the male protagonists who hated me as a means of revenge. But,

"Damn it. I don't know why you care."

"I want to offer you my knightly oath."

The male protagonist who hated me changed. In the meantime, I suddenly awakened as a real purifier.

'When I wanted it so badly, I wasn't given anything. Why now that I've given up on everything?'

All that matters to me is revenge. I don't like anything. Really, not anything. <<less

I held my swollen belly with my second child and heard the news of my husband’s marriage. It was a painful betrayal by my husband I loved with all my life.... more>>

“Ahaha! You’re a Princess and you act so proud, but look at you. Valdina was destroyed, and your brother was torn into pieces by demonic beasts. Because a s*upid like you!”

My brother died, and my country was destroyed. Even the children born from the embryo died at the hands of their father.

The moment I took the poison, realizing that all of this was a plan by my uncle’s family and my husband.

“I’m back… Again…”

I returned to the past 13 years ago. With my experience as a Kingmaker who established my husband as an Emperor in a fierce battle for the throne, and with memories of everything that will happen in the future, I was shocked and realized.

God has granted my last request.

“Claudio.”

All the glory given to my uncle will lose its luster.

“Jason.”

The glorious crown my husband desired would be taken away.

“I’m back.”

The prophecy that returned once in a lifetime shined in a gloomy light.

To get my revenge, I, Medea, would stop at nothing. <<less

Laniakea, the royal princess scorned for her weak elemental power.... more>>

She always dreamed of escaping the contempt directed at her.

One day, a marriage proposal arrived from the Empire.

The suitor? Hyperion, the First Imperial Prince, with no political base or support to his name.

Laniakea willingly accepted the proposal.

She didn’t care who her husband would be, as long as she could leave her homeland.

*

Before the wedding, Laniakea saw the marriage contract presented to her.

[ The couple shall engage in interc**rse __ time(s) every __ for the purpose of producing an heir. ]

Fortunately, that clause remained incomplete, and the marriage proceeded as it was.

As expected, her husband only dined with her a few times a year and didn’t even stay in the Imperial Palace, returning to the borderlands instead.

For three years, this continued.

She thought she could quietly live out her days until another prince ascended to the throne, at which point she could leave the palace for good…

*

“The Second, Third, and Fourth Princes have all passed away!”

While everyone was reeling in shock, Hyperion returned to the Imperial Palace, swiftly brought order to the chaos, and ascended to the throne.

What the newly crowned Emperor needed now was a strong Empress to solidify imperial authority.

‘So, he’ll divorce me and remarry someone from a powerful family.’

That’s what she assumed…

“You summoned me…?”

“Yes. Because there’s something I must ask of you.”

With a resolute expression as if he’d made up his mind, Hyperion spoke seriously, causing Laniakea to swallow nervously.

‘The moment has finally come.’

“I know what you want. Don’t worry. I’m willing to comply with Your Majesty’s wishes.”

“…Is that so?”

She had no doubt that they were both thinking the same thing.

“Let’s sign the divorce agreement right away.”

“Let’s have a child right away—son or daughter, it doesn’t matter.”

It was then that Laniakea realized.

Her husband had something entirely different in mind. <<less

Returnee VS Possessor... more>>

God hates me.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have had everything taken away to this extent.

When I finally found an abandoned mine that was said to have magical energy flowing through it:

"Oh my, how unfortunate. A high-ranking person made the exact same proposal yesterday."

The day before I could place a deposit, someone beat me to it.

When I created a hunter's guild by feeding and housing the homeless:

"We want to try advancing in life, too. We'll repay your kindness in the next life."

A noble family took them away by offering them a large sum of money and promising knighthood.

Still, I didn't give up.

I was going to spend all my remaining wealth to buy a painting.

"You have a good eye. Will the empire's citizens think so too?"

"I'll make sure they do."

But right before finalizing the contract, the artist unilaterally broke our agreement.

A life of misfortune where everything failed.

At the moment I reached the end, that woman appeared.

"When I was confused about the details, I just watched your moves. And in the final moment, I was just a little faster."

The one person who stole all my plans, Grace Servais.

"The person I used as a benchmark was you all along, Iris."

She was a possessor.

*************************

After fighting and getting entangled with her, I returned to when I was eighteen.

With all my memories intact.

"I see. So that's how it was."

I muttered to myself while standing in front of the mirror.

"I really did have everything, didn't I?"

Grace, now I understand, just a little bit, why you were so confident.

Knowing the world's secrets truly was a powerful weapon. <<less

I want my first kiss to be with you, Oppa. ... more>>

For the first time in my life, I feel a desire for a man. Taking off that chaste suit, stripping off the knit that so blatantly reveals his decadent chest...

"Ha. I'm going crazy."

"Who said anything about doing anything else? I just want to bury my face in your chest and sleep."

At first, because of the painting. Then, to secure my right to sleep. Next, because I liked the scent that stirred my distant memories.

Jiwoon needed this man. But now, she feels like she would die without him.

'How can I make this man mine?'

Thump. As the mattress bounced with the weight of both of them, her heart began to ride the waves. His black eyes stared at her intensely. Without avoiding his gaze, Jiwoon opened her lips.

"Put me to sleep."

In her clear eyes, there was an unwavering determination. <<less

Seo Jae-Yi is an S-Class Esper with the power to control fire. However, for 10 years, she hasn't been able to find a compatible Guide, leading to a terminal diagnosis.... more>>

"Let's at least achieve my dream before I die!"

With that thought, she impulsively opens a flower shop. But alas, her uncontrollable pyrokinesis leads to flowers bursting into flames and the shop catching fire. As she tearfully cleans up the piles of ashes day after day...

“This shop has a rather... enthusiastic way of greeting its customers.”

“Y-You were so handsome, I thought you were a flower and tried to water you…”

The man she accidentally drenched turns out to be her perfectly matched Guide. Not only that, but their compatibility rate is an unbelievable 93%! This man might be the key to extending her life!

But something feels strange. He’s a complete stranger, yet why does she feel this sense of longing when she looks at him?

***

"Why haven't you asked me to Guide you?"

Baek Juwon closed the distance between them, his voice husky. Jae-Yi flinched as his large hand reached out to gently caress her wound.

"I can make this disappear in an instant."

He whispered sweetly, gazing directly into her eyes.

"Let me take care of everything. Just stay still."

His voice alone was enough to paralyze her. Baek Juwon's eyes glittered dangerously as a wave of exhilarating Guiding washed over Jae-Yi, leaving her breathless. <<less

My younger brother died.... more>>

And it happened inside the prestigious private school that I struggled so hard to get him into.

As I was crying in despair in front of his grave,

A strange man who claimed to be the student council president appeared and made an unbelievable offer.

"Would you like to go back one year if you could?"

He seemed like a swindler, but faced with sudden despair, I had no other choice.

I grasped at this rotten lifeline and hastily made a deal with him.

And surprisingly, I really did go back one year in time.

Without wasting time, I immediately transferred to that problematic private school. To protect my younger brother who was still alive.

But this school, the atmosphere is not right.

Ghosts and spirits appear all over the school, and 'ghost stories' occur.

Somehow, my brother seems to be connected to these strange phenomena.

Will I, Melody Hastings, be able to safely solve the ghost story, protect my younger brother, and get out of this school? <<less

I was reincarnated in a romance fantasy where the war-crazy tyrant emperor falls in love with the saintly heroine.... more>>

"The Emperor contracting a romantic relationship with the heroine and then falling in love is something only high society would gossip about."

For a minor official in the imperial palace who couldn't even become an extra, whether I have to work overtime tomorrow is more important. Still, living diligently like a good citizen seemed to reward me with a handsome boyfriend...

"Are you planning to hold hands throughout the entire relationship and only kiss at the wedding?"
"You'll regret it."
"I won't."

Can't I just take back what I said?
...For an extra, he was way too handsome.

I’ve possessed a villainess who gets horribly killed every time for abusing the protagonist.... more>>

But just because I’m an evil woman doesn’t mean I have to ab*se the protagonist.

I vowed that instead of abusing the protagonist, I was going to make him grow up…!

´Come on Leo. Shall we try-?´

[Synchronization failed. Translation into Belinda’s language] .

“Open up your mouth, little brat.”

The damned system turned my mouth into a hellmouth.

But somehow… being a b*tch suits me better than I thought it would.

“Lazy things. How many times do I have to tell you to roll out the red carpet where I step!”

“Get me a limited-edition macaron of each type from the best patisserie in the kingdom.”

“They’re hard to get, you idiot. You could have just begged in front of the shop.”

Wealth, power, and beauty.

And with all that and a system window, I solved Belinda’s problems…

“Belle, won’t you marry me?”

“Master, why don’t you fall in love with me?”

” Lady Blanche, you are the only exception to this black and white world.”

The attitude of the supporting characters who were responsible for the killing of Belinda in the game changed.

Furthermore.

“We propose, based on mutual agreement, that you marry His Excellency the Grand Duke for a certain period of time and then divorce him.”

A contract marriage from the Northern Grand Duke.

Come on, guys. I was only doing my best to be a badass! <<less

I was a child abandoned in the slums.... more>>

I didn’t even know my parents’ faces, and I starved more often than I ate.

Then one day, a holy mark suddenly appeared on the back of my hand.

…It seems like God made a mistake.

Breaking news from the Edenbaroque Empire!

After 100 years, a divine message has finally come from Saint Bethcerian the Fifth!

Wait… “the Fifth” doesn’t mean the fifth generation, but that she’s five years old…?

“We welcome the noble Saint. Please, follow God’s will, defeat the monsters, bring peace to the world, and guide us who are lacking.”

They knelt before me—

a girl who was barely just over 100 centimeters tall.

They want a five-year-old to bring world peace?

Is this for real? <<less

Bunny, 4 years old. From an orphanage.... more>>

“I’m Roden Heiner, and I will be serving you from today.”

‘Is Bunny finally encountering a life-changing moment? She’ll become a duke’s daughter?!’

“You must survive on your own in this mansion.”

… Or so she thought, but no!

“Bunny… is totally doomed…”

But Bunny, being a brilliant genius, was fine.

Because she had the ‘Genius Secret Diary’ that told her everything!

‘Dear, if you get adopted, you must find a guardian.’

“Handsome sir, will you take care of Bunny? Special discount if you adopt now!”

Following the diary’s advice, she found a guardian.

‘If you don’t know what to do, always open the secret diary.’

“On May 18th, 887 Imperial Year, an outbreak will occur in the southern Lubia territory?”

The diary also provided advanced information!

“My daughter is so adorably wiggly, isn’t she?”

“I feel like I wouldn’t mind being eaten by Bunny…”

“I’m Bunny’s eldest brother. Got it? Eld-est-bro-ther.”

Thus, Bunny conquered the duke’s house like that!

However, Bunny had another tremendous secret!

‘She’s so adorable. Why on earth is she positioned as a villainess?’

‘You should never expect love. Humans are all pushovers! Stick a straw in and suck them dry!’

‘… When you become a great adult, you’ll understand everything.’

Will Bunny be able to become a great adult as predicted by the Genius Secret Diary?!

She was killed again.... more>>

Then she opened her eyes as a fallen noble, Eureia Craycia.

Normally, one would be confused in a moment like this, but…she was familiar with this situation, with this world.

Because she had once lived here and been mu*dered by unidentified wizards.

“I don’t want to die again!”

Eureia, who knew this world and was a hard-working adaptable person, wanted to regain her top position at the Merchant Guild, which was once hers, and get rid of her debts.

Seven years ago, she, the head of the Cheshire business suddenly disappeared, and her men now once again gathered at Eureia’s side.

“You look a lot like someone I know.”

“You seemed to be able to see through me just like her.”

“I feel uneasy. I’m afraid the master will like him more than me.”

Eureia, surrounded by obsessive men, approached the shocking truth that killed her seven years ago. <<less

…I think I did too much of a good job.

When Cedric’s destined partner arrives, I will have to leave. What should I do? To someone like that, Cedric had said this.

-Nobody knows. they're invisible.

-Mystery maniac, huh? Are they a recluse or something?

'I'm a third-time test taker. Damn it...'

The Tower, the rift, the dungeon, and everything else.

Days spent asking for Wi-Fi passwords wherever I went because my enraged mom cut off my phone.

[Ms. Gyeon Jioh's current domestic ranking is 2nd place.]

What...? Am I seriously in second place now?

Hey Mr. Constellation, you said you'd make me only walk on a flowery path...

"Jioh. Still living like a piece of tr*sh in the corner?"

"Wow. What's with the savage burn?"

It’s the era of Transmigration.... more>>

I wanted to possess a body of a rich young lady in a Rofan childcare novel, and live while receiving lots of love.

No. 1 to be avoided!

No. 1 in frustrating the reader!

I possessed someone inside an infinite return novel called: Return Until the World is Saved.

Forget being a young lady from a prominent family, I will soon be ruined because the survival difficulty of the original work is S-Class.

I became an extra. Ailette, the young daughter of a servant in the Count’s manor.

We are poor, but it’s a happy life between a kind brother and a good father.

I’ve got a best friend I’ve never made before because I was always busy.

Even the gods of the Transmigration Management Bureau are openly fond of me.

I’m living a life full of confidence.

On top of that, I accidentally bought the ‘After-Life Insurance’ full package just before my death.

I leveled up with the high-speed growth buff, and diligently destroyed the original plot.

Thanks to plenty of special privileges, I came to give satisfaction for all the frustrated readers of the original work.

“You wiped your face with your dirty hands.”

“…….”

“Don’t be surprised. It’s because I have an obligation to be kind.”

And then, there’s the protagonist who is still nothing more than a handsome push over, Thesilid.

‘Why is he being this crafty with me?’ <<less

I was possessed by a 19+ romance novel. And I was in the body of Judith Harrington, who was forced into marriage after being sold off to pay off gambling debts.... more>>

My husband died on our wedding day, and the family is left in debt.

...Well, it was okay.

The mansion I inherited is rumored to be cursed and can't be sold.

...I could understand that.

'I'm not the kind of person who would be frightened by this, I'm the kind of person who's been through a dogfight and a possession.'

I vowed to make a business and live my life in the South this time. But... It's not fair that my husband's body doesn't rot!

"What have you done to me?"

My husband's dark green eyes swept over my naked body. An incomprehensible voice the frozen silence.

"I can't believe we were doing that."

My husband had come back to life. A character in 19+ novels, with a very naughty misunderstanding.

***

"You're smiling."

To another man with her husband by her side?

Erne was incredulous and covered Judith's eyes.

"You're having an affair."

"It's not an affair because we made eye contact."

A snorting Judith yanked Erne's hand away.

"And how is this an affair, I'm widowed on my wedding day."

Judith stuck her tongue out to him and stalked back into the store.

I was just kidding when I covered her eyes earlier. Judith's comment that it's okay to laugh at her because she's widowed must be a joke.

I know, I know for sure.

"...I feel bad."

I broke off my friendship with my childhood friend due to my fiancé's manipulations.... more>>

Eight years later, in a moment where I nearly lost my life, trapped by the fiancé's schemes—

"Run, Your Highness!"

"...Kayan?"

The one I had cut off so suddenly had returned.

"Don't cry. You'll look really ugly if you do."

With a farewell in the familiar tone of our childhood, he died in my place. As I watched him die, I made a vow.

'I will never live like this again.'

***

So, I turned back time. The problem? I returned to a year after I had already broken off my friendship with Kayan!

Still, I couldn't let the tragedy of my past life repeat itself. This time, I was determined to live fearlessly.

First, I gave my bullying half-sibling a taste of rough revenge.

"Aaaaagh! Did you just stab me with a sword?!"

"Oh my, look at that! You're not dead yet, huh?"

Then, I sent a rough letter to my brother, who was off at war, requesting a break-up with my fiancé: [Just send me the breakup letter without any excuses. If not, I'll kill everyone and lock myself up in prison.]

And most importantly... I had to clear up the misunderstanding with Kayan!

"I want to be your best friend again, like we were before."

"Yes, I appreciate Your Highness's kindness."

"I'll work hard to regain the trust I lost."

"Yes, I appreciate Your Highness's efforts."

Kayan, wounded and guarded, was not going to be easy to win back... 'I've even come back through time—there's no way I can't break down this wall!'

Just wait. I will definitely become your friend again! <<less

The Worst Troublemaker in History, a Mad Dog. Or, perhaps, a cursed soul.... more>>

The notorious rascal of the North, Kalec Wintervald, is back!

But with no recollection of the past five years when he mysteriously disappeared.

“I’ve told you several times that I don’t remember anything about the time I was missing. Now get lost.”

So no one, not even himself, dared to imagine…

“Oh my, my daughter is so pretty, so admirable. Daddy is just a fool who only knows his daughter~”

That during the five years he was missing, he had been raising a child—not even his own—as if he were a simple villager in a remote mountain valley!

And in a ridiculously doting, if not overly sentimental, manner!

“Daddy! I’m back!”

“Who are you?”

The Duke, Kalec Wintervald, looked down at me threateningly as I tightly hugged his leg.

The sight made my heart ache.

‘Daddy really has forgotten about me…’

But there was no time to feel sad about it for long.

I, Lirin Wintervald, at the age of 8!

It’s time to carry out my plan to prevent the sad future I saw in my dream for Daddy!

“I’ll use my ability to talk to plants to solve the duchy’s sacred beast problem, and save the former Duke from a terrible accident!”

“Grandma, thank you for bringing me to the mansion.”

“Grandpa, will you keep playing with me from now on?”

Saving the duchy is a busy task!

But the most important thing is to restore Daddy’s memories.

However, this journey is far from easy.

“It’s no use. There’s nothing anywhere that can bring back Daddy’s memories…”

Tears welled up in fear that Daddy might never believe me.

At that moment, the always cold Daddy gently cupped my cheeks and lifted them as he spoke.

“Why wouldn’t there be? Then why did you come to me?”

Can Lirin truly restore her villainous father’s memories and reach a happy ending? <<less

I thought I had been abandoned, ... more>>

But I was actually the child that the Namgoong family had been searching for.

It wasn’t until I was killed by the Blood Demon, whom I had called “teacher,” that I learned the truth. When I awoke again as a thirteen-year-old child, I decided to return to the Namgoong family.

I didn’t seek to be recognized as family.

I only wanted to prevent the Namgoong family from falling apart as it had before.

“This is the jewelry, silk, gold bars, and elixirs that the family head has gifted to you.”

“Here, little one. This is a congratulatory gift for your return.”

As soon as I was recognized as the lost granddaughter of the Namgoong family,

I gained delicious food, fine clothes, gold and silver treasures, and a high-quality sword!

I also gained a grandfather and a father who cried and laughed for me.

But what was that strange, tingling feeling in my chest every time that happened?

In order to protect the smiles of those I had once killed,

and to preserve this warm and ticklish sensation for as long as I could,

I was determined to change the bloody future that awaited me, unlike my previous life…

Namgoong Mucheon’s face darkened.

‘Is this child truly raised to be an assassin?’

The sharp killing intent and the sword techniques essential for an assassin were reflected in her life, as if they were embedded in her very being.

‘Damn brat.’

Anger surged within Namgoong Mucheon.

He restrained himself from cursing aloud in front of his granddaughter, muttering in his mind instead.

‘How dare they raise my granddaughter as an assassin?’

The blue energy surrounding Namgoong Mucheon grew even stronger. <<less

I only have two months left to live? I can't die like this!

Following the advice of a mysterious helper who appeared just in time, I climbed the tower and successfully swallowed the blue jewel(?) that was supposed to save my life.

"You dared to covet my heart without permission. Are you ready to pay the price?"

Of all things, it turns out that this was the Magic Tower, and the jewel was the heart of the dark villain!

However, the root cause of the problem has not disappeared, and she is still not free from the past.

“I never talked to the Commander, how did you know me? I…… Did I offend you in some way?”

“There was no such thing. It was just that you stood out from the crowd and caught my eye.”

“Stood out? Is it because of my hair?”

“…… No, it was my personal interest.”

“So, what do you think of this proposal?”

She opens her eyes to find herself back at the very moment she was betrothed to the man she admired.

Determined to avoid the tragic path she once walked, Sehwa chooses a different, yet equally th**ny, road.

“I will go to the Baek Clan. But please, rescind the order for me to be betrothed to the Young Lord.”

She seeks refuge with the very man she had considered her enemy all her life—the only one who can now offer her salvation. <<less

She was the queen of a fallen country.

Hayer, her husband’s younger brother and her first love, came to her, who remained alone on the throne where even the king had fled.

“Can you find the North Gate?”

The Lepos were born with a map of the world in their heads and could find their way in the middle of the desert.

Iris, the heir to the throne, nodded.

And the moment she crossed the North Gate through a severe snowstorm.

She realized. That she was back six years ago.

“If something changes beyond the North Gate, don’t love me then. Never.”

And knowing that she had the opportunity to save the man who died for her.

“Promise me that you will help me avoid marriage that I don’t want.”

Miraculously given a second chance.

To change her fate, this time she went to Hayer first.
