“It’s so fortunate that someone like you became Cedric’s partner.”
“…I’ll admit it. It’s a fortune that you were the one to become his wife, Dylan.”
“It’s such a fortunate chance that you were the one to become the Lady of the Brighton House.”

…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.

“Would you have ever thought that the one I would fall in love with would be you?”

…Would you still say the same to me after the real female lead, Adeline, makes her appearance? <<less

Dan Gyul, a strawberry farmer who’s been nursing a crush on the same man for 17 years, lives peacefully, seeing her unrequited love as just another part of life. But one day, a man shows up next door, almost like a crash landing. “Why are you named ‘Gyul’ but selling strawberries? That doesn’t make sense.” His words are rude, his attitude lighthearted, but he’s got a great face. His name? Ha Si-hyun—a strangely familiar face that turns out to be her childhood friend, a boy she used to play with. It’s a shock how the small, lovable kid has grown up like this.

Just as she tries to adjust, she wishes he’d stop disrupting her quiet life and just leave, but he keeps hanging around. “So, is your hobby having a crush? Specialty being a pushover?”

“What’s it to you?”

“Nothing… nothing, but… I’d like to make it my business.”

“And just how are you going to help?”

Si-hyun smirks, pointing at his handsome face.

“With a jealousy plan.”

Seasoned in unrequited love, Dan Gyul decides to play along with Si-hyun’s game. She figures it might just bring her closer to her crush. But as time goes on, Si-hyun’s behavior starts to seem increasingly strange.

The princess of the millennium Empire Marma,

But even though she was the one who prevented the war, the Empire did not welcome her.... more>>

A s*ave-turned-princess. An enemy king's concubine. Or a hostage.
A nuisance that should have been sacrificed for the Empire but couldn't.

But that was a good thing.
Adelaine was determined to take down the Empire that completely destroyed her life

[I do not wish to.]
Princess Servil and Duke Lucian Fernes have been engaged for 10 years.... more>>

The Duke has neither met the Princess nor married her, yet he refuses to call off the engagement.

Frustrated, Servil travels to the distant north to confront her strange fiancé.

But how can she manage to break off the engagement that he has neglected for the past 10 years?

“My lord, what on earth are you thinking?”

“I want to be entangled with you.”

Servil narrowed one eye and blew a kiss into the air.

…So she decided to give him a piece of her mind in the north. She had only 15 days to do so.

One of the wealthiest people in the Empire, the Duke of Rosen has only one blemish.... more>>

The fact that Aristina, the worst villain in the Empire, is the only daughter of the Duke!

In the end, she is imprisoned in her home in an attempt to poison the prince’s fiancée, and the moment she is mu*dered by an unknown criminal, ‘I’ took hold of her body.

Fortunately, her name was cleared, but more importantly…

‘Who was the killer of Aristina?’

Thanks to her personality that is not strange even if she is stoned along the way; everyone who is crushed by her is suspected of being a preliminary mu*derer.

‘I must never die twice!’ She restored the trust of the sickly Duke, who had been rotting all his life because of his daughter, and went around doing good deeds with impure intentions.

“Aristina! You have to lighten the mood of this prom!” Starting with the 2nd prince, who acts as a large loyal dog without opening the open front.

“You say you’re going to lose your hair and run after the girls? That’s what we need right now.” The crown Prince breaks down his polite and respectful mask only in front of me.

“Who did you go to that day after you left me?” Even the head of the holy church only reveals secrets the more she digs.

Even the most probable suspects turned to me and twisted too far. But the peace is short-lived, and the real killer is finally revealed. <<less

The Crown Prince, my older brother, swung a candelabra at me, and that’s when I regained memories of my past life. I realized that this was the world of a book, and that I was Princess Lizbeth, a character who doesn’t even appear in the original story!... more>>

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!

Now, I have to work hard to restore my body, which is drained of divine power, take revenge on the imperial family that has only used me, steal the Crown Prince's position, and fix the crumbling empire!

"So... could you lend me just a little more of your heart?" <<less

“Don’t be so upset. That’s how life is.”... more>>

Edel Azian was caught in Vanerin’s trap, the two-faced princess.

On the day Edel is falsely accused of attempted mu*der, Edel’s mother was killed by demon lord.

To reveal the identity of the witch and avenge Vanerin, the princess, she asks Cerulean Luke, the “youngest lore hunter,” to marry her under the pretext of contract.

“I have a talent.”

“What talent?”

“My specialty is the conflict among high-ranking officials! Please marry me. If I became a very villainous daughter-in-law, I will be able to bully my mother-in-law.”

While I was thinking about something else, my mother-in-law’s loyalist, who had been verbally abusing me, shouted at my face filled with redness.

“Are you listening to me?”

“Oh, of course.”

Honestly, I didn’t listen. I replied with a smile.

“You mean eat a lot and take care of your health?”

“No!” <<less

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

Iris Lepos.... more>>

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.

Will she be able to live as a king instead of a shadow queen? <<less

After repeatedly being reincarnated as insignificant creatures, I’ve finally become human.... more>>

‘A white weasel beastman, huh.’ Yep. That’s great. Super strong and super pretty!

But soon to be killed off as a trivial side character, and what’s more, as a spy infiltrated into a villainous family?

“What to do with this. We can’t let a spy live…”

No way! If I die here, next time I might be a dung beetle! In a desperate bid to survive, I was about to spill some crucial information from the original work.

“Ah, if you become my daughter-in-law, maybe I’ll want to save you?”

And so, I became the daughter-in-law of the villainous family, known for their lack of blood and tears!

***

But in this house, there’s a tradition where the daughter-in-law chooses the successor.

“The one you choose will be made the successor.” “Really, I’m grateful… but am I really allowed to do that?”

I’m scared of making the wrong choice and ruining everything…

“Baby, remember when I smacked the Pope in the back of the head and you covered for me?” “Hey, Roundy. You’re going to pick me anyway, why hesitate?” “Sister… Yuri will only listen to you.”

Looking at these little villains who are so gentle with me alone, I can feel my hidden materialistic nature rearing its head. Could it be that I’m subtly cut out for power after all? <<less

I reincarnated as the Grand Duke’s fake daughter.... more>>

“Live as though you’re a dead rat. If you dare tarnish the family name, I’ll tear you apart.”

In place of the real daughter, the fake that had been adopted turned out to be a troublemaker.
Though even if I use my own hands to ruin the family’s reputation, it was already a mess in the first place.

Let’s not worry about it. It’s a household that would fall to ruin in eight years anyway, so I plan to just save up a whole lot for my escape fund. But then…

“You’re the bad one, but why do I keep feeling like this?”
“Do not tarnish the family name, that’s what I said. But who told you to be so disgracefully hurt like this?”
“The owner of the name Ophelia—it’s you. Without a doubt.”

Why are you all doing this to me when it’s time for me to leave?
Besides that, wasn’t it with the real daughter that you all wanted to grow old with for like a hundred years?

‘Why… Is the luck that I have in my later years so terrible?’

* * *

“My eyes, they’re unpleasant. Because they’re black…”

With a blank expression, I looked down at the villainous mastermind, who was still young at this moment.

“Unpleasant?”

Those dark eyes, with a radiant brilliance,
Like a flowing river,
So far ahead and so invigorating that they could feed the entire nation.
No matter how ragged he looked and regardless of how much of a beggar he seemed, they could not be hidden.

‘The eyes of an emperor.’

And more than that… It's no joke how amazing his luck will be in his later years.
To the extent that I wouldn’t mind betting my entire life on him. <<less

The existence of the second child, Karina, who was the successor's youngest twin and the one who wasn't as competent as her sibling, has been concealed by the people around her all her life.... more>>

One day, she finds out that she only has one year left to live. So, she foolishly visited her fiancé, whom she has never had an exchange with.

Along with the divorce papers that he longed desired for.

“Frankly speaking, I want to stay here for a year.”

“..... Are you crazy, Miss?”

“I’ll break off the engagement.”

But she didn’t know at that time.

"It seems that you keep trying to pretend that you don't know, so I should definitely tell you then.”

"Pardon?"

“I am fond of you.”

It didn’t occur to her that she would receive attention and affection from him without anything in return. So she comes to desire this much for a life without regrets. <<less

After eight years, Duke Erte returned to his homeland as a hero.... more>>

He returned with glory and honor, but all he truly wanted was revenge. Revenge for the wife that no one remembers. “Rise”, who threw down her life to protect him right until the very end.

“Will you help me?”

And for the sake of his revenge, he needed a woman. A woman to prove his status as an of age ‘adult’ so that he could trample upon the pride of those stuck-up nobles.

In that way, this woman was a good fit.

“Be my woman.”

She was a refugee who had lost her home, working to raise her daughter alone.

The only thing about her that resembled his wife was her name, “Rise”.

But the longer he spent with her, the more the young Duke began to realize something. Their resemblance didn’t end with just their name.

That was when he thought of one possibility, one that he had been denying this entire time.

She might actually be his wife. <<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

Surviving the horror elements is already tough enough, and now I have to act like I’m completely clueless on top of that.

If there’s one thing that’s fortunate, it’s that I come from a family of military officers, so my physical abilities are exceptional.

I can tank all kinds of monsters—shadow monsters, spider monsters, demon monsters, you name it.

Until she suffered the cruel fate of being manipulated by a magical sword and killing all her loved ones.

[This miracle won’t happen twice. So, do your best and be happy.]

She turned her time back to change her own fate.

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.”

A man who has answers to her past and a woman who wants to erase that same past.

Will she be able to overcome her fate and become happy? <<less

I became a home tutor teaching the young half-siblings of the male lead.... more>>

The original plot is simple.

It’s a typical contract marriage story where the female lead threatens the duke to avoid an unwanted matchmaking.

The problem here is that the male lead’s weakness is his depraved behavior that led to the extermination of his entire family.

“Tell me, Miss Margaret. What is my intention that caught your attention?”

It’s unfair that I’m a reincarnated extra at best.

What an unfortunate choice of roles, having to give up my head when the lord of the manor takes control of the family.

I suppose running away could solve the problem, but…

“My lord, there is only one thing I want. Don’t kill Cecilia and Cedric.”

As a professional, I should save the children first.

—

“Miss Adriana has told me that she knows I killed my father. And that she will keep it quiet if I marry her.”

Then he asked, in an uneven voice.

“Miss Margaret, shall I go through with this marriage or not?”

“Do it. She will be the love of your life.”

Estella replied meekly.

It wasn’t the answer he’d hoped for, he realized, and his voice turned mu*derous.

“So you’re telling me I’m going to have to share a bed with a blackmailer?”

…It was a refreshing revelation, considering the original. <<less

Laviore Bailey—the ‘fake saintess’ who banished the innocent princess and stirred up bad blood to wage war.... more>>

She’s the villainess with a façade of a saintess.

“I love you. So just shut your mouth and die. Okay?”

But the moment her trusted lover chose her as a sacrifice to the demon, and she realized her father was behind the plan, she killed herself by swallowing poison.

It hurt. It was so painful that she could not even scream. But it was fine. Because she knew this was not the end.

“I will save you this time.”

Then, she came back for her second life. She was determined to rescue those who were unlucky because of her and restored her life back.

“You do whatever you want for the man in your dream.”

Demian said with a rough smile.

“I’ll also protect you the way I want to.” <<less

…Can someone please kidnap me already?!... more>>

Iris, a girl who has spent her entire life in a monastery, finds herself facing the greatest crisis of her life as she approaches her 20th birthday.

She discovers that she is actually the long-lost daughter of a noble family.

As if the revelation of her secret lineage wasn’t enough, she is forced into a marriage with a bald, middle-aged man.

The kind-hearted priest of the monastery, who has always cared deeply for her, devises a plan to save her.

“Iris, the only thing you need to focus on is your real groom who’s coming soon. Got it?”

The plan? To marry her off to another man instead.

Operation Fake 'Kidnapping Marriage' was born.

***

When Iris first saw her sparkling (literally bald) groom, she prayed desperately:

‘I won’t ask for more. Just please let me be kidnapped safely!’

But when the doors opened, revealing two men, she found herself thinking:

“Sorry, can I cancel that? Is it okay to ask for just one more thing?”

Among them was a man with disheveled black hair, glaring irritably as he entered the bell tower.

‘I wish he were my husband.’

Of course, her reasoning was slightly shameless.

‘I think I’d be okay with… um, the wedding night or something, if it’s him.’

***

“Will you leave me?”

“Iris, this is your wedding. Do you think I’d leave just because you asked?”

His voice was gentle, but for some reason, it brought tears to her eyes.

Under the vibrant greenery of early summer, sunlight danced through the leaves, casting shadows that played across the face of the man she had fallen for.

“…What about you, Rahan?”

At her question, Rahan raised an eyebrow and playfully pinched her nose.

“Who are you trying to make into a jerk here? Did you already forget what we were doing earlier?

“...”

“From the moment you kissed me, I didn’t have a choice anymore.”

Here, inside this martial arts novel, there is a true teacher who teaches the arrogant male lead and awakens him through death.... more>>

Handsome, good-natured, righteous, strong, and…

Anyway, there was one big flaw in the male lead’s damn fine teacher. It was his foolish only daughter who was filled with greed. A tenacious villainess extra, who always comes back to haunt the male lead in every way, but cannot be abandoned because she is his teacher’s daughter.

Throughout reading the novel, I cursed at that daughter. Saying that if it was me, I wouldn’t live like that.
‘But that didn’t mean that I wanted to be her!’

What was worse, Father has already died, and my reputation is the worst.

Inevitably, I ran away, but… I died. However, when I opened my eyes, Father was alive!?
‘If so, in this life, I will definitely save Father!’

However…
“To think they’re aiming at my granddaughter!? I’ll kill them all!”

Why do I see Grandfather, who doesn’t even appear many times throughout the novel, so often like this?

“Marriage? No. Yeonie said that she would live by my side for the rest of her life.”
Even Father, somehow became weird.

Moreover,
“Why do you keep avoiding me? Is this also my mistake?”
Isn’t the main character suddenly becoming obsessed with me?

“Originally, I was destined to die. Until you came here.”
I saved the time-limited bastard, but isn’t it that no good deed goes unpunished?

“I like you the best in the world!”

I was afraid of death, but couldn’t drive the sick child away coldly, so I took good care of her. Don’t forget your gratitude, even if you get your memory back later. But this kid–
