I have been the Duchess of my quiet and indifferent husband for nine years, but all I received in exchange was contempt and indifference. Not just that, but I was even accused of having a love affair.... more>>

"This is my limit of enduring this marriage. No matter how much you cry and plead the Emperor, I can’t stand it anymore!"

"Yes. Do I sign here?"

"So if you pretend to be poor like last time, this time … What?"

I waved divorce papers on an indifferent day. "I’m done. Can I go now? Oh, and you don’t have to talk about alimony and all that. Just give me back my dowry."

"What are you gonna do with that little money?" My husband, who had not cared what he had done for the past nine years, finally asked me a question.

I laughed confidently and answered: "I’m going to open a dessert cafe." <<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

…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.”

Kiana, the troublemaker of the Prelai duchy.... more>>

I was about to give up my life as a villainess and be reborn as a new person.

Until one day, the family was hanged for treason.

‘There’s no need to kill me, who ran away from home 7 years ago and is only doing research in the countryside!’

The moment I realized that the academy, who said that I was a genius and would treat like a family, betrayed me, and that treason was also falsely accused by someone…

Due to a mysterious power, I returned to a year ago!

“I can’t help it. Now that it’s like this, I, who is smart and strong, has no choice but to save the family.”

There were two things to do for the family.

“Will I be of help to you someday too?”

“I tried to save him because he is precious to my grandfather.”

Restoring the relationship with the family, which was a mess, and…

“Please pretend to be in a relationship with me externally.”

Holding hands with ‘that man’.

Oh, before that. Pouring a water bottle over the dean’s head during the lecture, I said,

“This is gravity.” Get revenge on those academy guys who have no morals.

Kiana, who came back smarter and more vicious. <<less

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

´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.”

The final villain is being deceived by his young time-limited daughter in law who was possessed.... more>>

If I die at the right time, I will marry his son.

The problem is, I already know the cure! And I don’t want to die, but if I don’t get killed now, then I won’t die quietly.

“Daddy, I love you so much. You are the most handsome man in the world. Cough, cough!”

“Evan, shall we read a fairy tale book together until we fall asleep?”

She will have to act a little better to let his guard down. Then, she would be able to do a great job.

I think I’ll have to leave secretly after I get better.

I have to make a lot of money and buy land under borrowed names—

“Call all the council members on the continent. My daughter-in-law has to live.”

Father? Shouldn’t I be thrown away?

“If you die, I’ll follow you unconditionally. I can’t live in a world without you.”

Husband? You’re also acting strange. You don’t love anyone, do you?

Even—

“Who is this, Kyle Ravonis? The man who seduced my daughter-in-law deserves to die.”

“Even if you cheated on me with another man, I will never break up with you.”

You must have misunderstood my other name!

“When did this start, huh? You said you wanted to live as a sweet couple, but you tried to run away by creating a new identity behind our back?”

I want to quietly disappear, not die!

I didn’t know my husband, who has been like a friend to me ever since we were young, would come to me with such sore eyes.

“You’re still my wife on paper. Live as my wife, and die as my wife.”

“Evan?”

“You’ve shown me both heaven and hell…”

His reddened eyes locked me up.

“You’ll never get away from me no matter where you go.” <<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.

Navia, who had been hung up on her family’s affection, does her best to become an empress while being ab*sed, but the moment Vivian, the duke’s biological daughter, is cured, her family abandons her.

No, it would be fair to say that they abandoned her every time.

“How much longer do I have to try? To be your family.”

Navia took off her blood-soaked gloves.

Then on her right wrist, an invisible number that wasn’t visible to others was revealed.

1

Looking down at the numbers, she calmly confessed.

“Now, I’m going to stop playing with family games.”

At that moment, the number on the wrist changed.

0

After leaving the orphanage, Monica worked as a battlefield nurse for three years before the wealthy Mollet family hired her as a tutor.

On her first day in the unfamiliar city, Monica encounters a familiar face.

"... Sol?"

"I'm sorry, but that's not my name."

She believes he's Sol, the soldier she nursed on the battlefield.

But the man says he doesn't know her.

However, he's a strange man whose name and personality change every time they meet.

"Even though I wasn't the man you knew, I suppose I will be when we meet again. That is a delight."

Luis, a southern playboy with a sweet face like honey poured on his head.

"Hey ponytail, Why are you looking at my face?"

Garcia, a violent thug who seems to have been born crooked.

"I should've treated you like a precious princess." Enrique, who is arrogant to the bone, comes from a noble family.

The only similarities are his picturesque appearance and the scar on his right eye.

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?”

Trapped in an adult-rated romance fantasy.... more>>

But the problem is, this novel is an apocalyptic survival story set during an Ice Age.

And the bigger problem is, in this story, even the protagonists can’t find the so-called “Final Paradise,” the last hope, leading to a frozen death ending, known as

“Frozen Ending,” XX.

I can’t just watch this kind of annihilation ending unfold.

I will definitely find the ‘Last Paradise’ and return home!

An ability so coveted, to be able to thaw anyone in this frozen world, the ability to save anyone.

“Your worries have turned my hair gray.”

“From now on, I will only follow you now, and if you tell me to die, I will die….”

Moreover, it seems all the male leads she accidentally picked up are far from normal…

Will she be able to survive this frozen apocalypse and return to the original world?

“Well, you’re all that’s left now, Master.”

And then, at the age of 22, he awoke as the Master of the Magic Tower and took revenge by killing her entire house.

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.
