I entered my favorite romance-fantasy novel, which I have read many times. ... more>>

Thanks to the body of a wealthy commoner, I bought the status of a fallen aristocrat, attended a noble family’s gathering and observed the romance of the characters in the original novel.

I wanted to return to the real world after witnessing the ending.

But somehow, even after the ending, I was not freed from the body I possessed and remained living in the original novel.

As a result, I acquired the stories behind the scenes that I refused to comprehend.

My favorite sub male lead, Caelus, has died.

Living impoverished in the original work without him, I eventually fell ill and died.

Now, I wanted to return to reality.

However, the irony of fate has returned me to the end of the novel overnight. This is definitely… to save my beloved, right? <<less

I want an S-Rank skill too! I want it so badly, I would even die for it!... more>>

[You have awakened an S-Rank skill.]
[But it only works when you die.]

Eh !? WHAT IS THE POINT OF GETTING ONE IF I DIE !? <<less

I’ve had enough of being transmigrated into books.... more>>

You would be tired of it too, especially if it was already your fourth time doing it. This time, I became the female lead’s villainous older sister.

‘Oh, I’m so sick of this.’

Yet again, I was sure this life wouldn’t be exciting either. I had led straightforward lives before, and then I died and moved on to the next.

But why was it that this iteration was a tad different?

‘Why can I use the abilities I had in my second transmigration?’

‘Why is the female lead bothering me so much?’

Alicia, this novel’s protagonist, was fated to have a poor, emaciated life. However, considering that she was this novel’s true heroine, I couldn’t just let her roll through the mud like this. I would do everything in my power to change her fate.

‘My younger sister, don’t become the female lead this time.’

To achieve my goal through a project hereby dubbed as the [Mob-Alicia Project], I’ve recruited the male lead’s older brother.

Cassion Carter.

He was the villain who was almost killed—no, was fated to be killed—by the male lead.

“If you want to live, promise me one thing.”

As if he was a wild beast that had been hunted and left to die alone, he breathed with incredible difficulty. I reached toward the poor man’s face and caressed his cheek, leaning down to whisper softly.

“If I save you…”

Lay down your own life on the line to protect my sister. <<less

"I am not the Eris you once knew," she replied, haunted by the specter of the villainess she'd become. Betrayed by her fiancé, the crown... more>> prince, and abandoned by those she trusted, she was driven by a singular desire: escape from the confines of this cursed narrative. Yet, as she resisted the role fate had scripted for her, a strange transformation took hold. Those who once spurned her now clamored for her affection, blind to her inner turmoil. But as she grappled with her newfound identity, she couldn't shake the lingering doubt: could she ever truly love a world that had forsaken her? <<less

“Are you eating in this situation?”... more>>

“Of course! I’ll have to keep savoring the taste until I die. Do you want one?”

She was reincarnated in a novel as Luana, the abandoned princess.

And her death was already decided.

She just wanted to let people know about her cooking talent, but she was misunderstood as a witch because of her cheese jerky!

The General of the conquering army, Duke Legion, who had lost his sense of taste, took her to the Empire for her extraordinary jerkies and to break the curse that had come down from generation to generation.

“It is delicious, isn’t it?”

“Prepare the same for the dinner.”

She was happy to be able to cook and eat as much as delicious food as she wanted…

But now, she also wanted to look after Legion.

‘Eat three meals a day, and make sure to make dessert. I’m sure he will be able to gain some weight…!’

–

The Duke took the jerky from the princess. On the surface, it was no different from any beef jerky.

But when he took a bite of it, it felt like a new world had opened up.

The jerky, made by the princess, felt more tender than the others as he gently crushed it with his teeth.

The taste of condensed meat smudged his tongue as he chewed on. It was just as she said.

He could feel the savory taste of the spicy meat, and at the end of the day, he wanted to have more.

The desire that he had, faded for a while.

“I didn’t really want anything, but now I think I do.” <<less

I became the personal maid to the infamous empress.... more>>

But why an evil woman? The empress, known as the Wicked Seductress, is not only innocent but strangely endearing to me.

“Your Majesty, I don’t need to debut in high society.”

“If you’re a noble lady, you must formally debut in social circles at a ball. Don’t worry about anything else, I’ll take care of it.”

…I don’t want to debut or do anything related to high society.

The empress quickly checks my appearance and even fixes stray hairs.

I feel like the roles of the maid and the empress have switched, but maybe it’s just my mood?

“If you hold the Emperor’s hand and make an appearance, it will be the best debut in high society. It’s a moment that every noble lady in the realm dreams of.”

No, I don’t dream of such a thing!

Receiving adornment from the empress and dancing the debut dance with the crown prince as a maid. What on earth is going on? <<less

[Welcome to 『The Opponent of the Dragon』.]
“Oh my, the book talks!”... more>>

[I am a guide for travelers who have transmigrated into the novel.]
I possessed the body of Tiarozety Isol, a supporting character in 『The Opponent of the Dragon.』

The book will send me back to my world as soon as I complete the ending of the male lead, Lexion.

The problem is, I’ve never read this book before.

Besides…

[If the development of the story deviates from the original, the traveler gets a penalty right away.]
“Penalty?”

[Yes. The penalty is that the novel proceeds in the direction the traveler doesn’t want the most.]
“Oh my god.”

I was able to play the role of Tiarozety firmly. But then, I suddenly fell in love with the male lead, Lexion Sparrow.

“I’ll miss you.”

I was able to complete the ending by dying for him.

However- There was a problem with the ending. Thus, I returned to the beginning of the novel again. Somehow, I was sent back again inside the novel on my way home.

And-

“Titi, choose me. Not this damn fate.”

“………”

“Choose me, even if the path is rough. Because I’m ready for anything.”

And that’s how… Lexion, the male lead, began to cling onto me. <<less

I possessed a fake saintess who was going to die when the real saint appeared five years later.... more>>

‘Let’s just stay still. Isn’t this an opportunity?’

At least a building owner just by collecting from the saintess’ salary!

So I was planning to run away after properly acting like a saintess, but…

Somehow, the Gods are in weird conditions, though?

[God of Knowledge, Hessed, sighs in relief when he sees your body.]
[God of Benevolence, Oman, declares that he will kill the bastard who treats you disrespectfully.]
[God of Love, Odyssey is fueling with arrogance next to you.]
[God of Destruction, Ciel, is shedding tears worrying if you got hurt.]
In addition, the candidates for the male lead, who were cold to the fake saintess in the original story, are surely somewhat strange!

“Why do I have mixed thoughts whenever I think of you?”

The High Priest, who used to be a watcher, comes whenever he have time, “I want you to be in the position of the Crown Princess.”

The Crown Prince, who hated and avoided me, proposed, “Tell me if you want anything. I’ll give you a title if you want to.”

The Merchant Owner, who used to say he had no feelings, kept looking at me and trying to give me something!

On top of that, the villain, who was supposed to destroy the world, said that he would cooperate, let alone, kill me. But!

No, I’m a saintess and I have no interest in the end of the world!

Just let me be a building owner according to my original plan! <<less

“Listen to me. I’m the only one you can count on.”... more>>

“…….”

“I’m the only one for you.”

“…….”

“Only me.”

What an abominable delusion.

* * *

For more than 10 years, my body was possessed by someone else. It would have been nice of ‘that person’ if she used my body and returned it in a good condition, but not only did she get married with my own body, she’s also clinging to her husband like a stalker..?!

“First, let’s get divorced.”

I tried to start a new life by dumping my husband, who has been treating me like tr*sh, and my family who treated me like dirt.

But.

“Leaving? You will leave me?”

My husband who doesn’t believe me.

“Why are you taking his side, sister?”

A younger brother who’s suddenly jealous.

“Stay in this house. You can’t go anywhere.”

Even my father who hated me all along is suddenly obsessed? What’s wrong with them all of a sudden? <<less

I became an extra in a detective novel where people are dying left and right. Moreover, I became a character with the lowest survival rate, a girl with no dreams or future!... more>>

"The culprit is that person!"

Unable to witness people dying in front of me, I subtly pointed out the culprit a few times.

"Become my daughter."
The protagonist of this novel, who catches criminals, and also the most powerful figure in the Empire, the Duke, proposed adoption to me!

Is the life in the back alley with an empty stomach finally over?! Even rejoicing at being allowed to eat two fluffy breads, the hidden settings of the novel suddenly come to mind.

'...Wait a minute. Wasn't the protagonist in this novel supposed to be a psychopath?'

The Duke, colder than anyone to villains, but warm to his adopted daughter! <<less

The grandson of an antique dealer and a beggar princess were married.... more>>

The contract was valid for two years and was for the benefit of each.

Even with her royal lineage, she made a living from her day to day job.

Odette von Dyssen needed money to start a new life.

It was a successful deal.

That was, until unexpected losses occurred.

“You ruined what’s most precious to me, so it’s a fair deal if you lose what’s most precious to you. Don’t you think so?”

Bastian decided to hold her accountable for the enormous loss.

Hate and resentment, unresolved feelings, even the name of this abominable woman.

All for the sake of a complete end, where everything burned white and disappeared. <<less

A territory devastated by a long war, Pervaz.... more>>

And the new lord who shall restore Pervaz, Asha Pervaz.

She receives an audience with the emperor to collect the reward for her victory,

But she was met with ridicule, called a ‘barbarian princess’, and given the absurd right to pick her marriage partner as a reward for victory.

Asha makes the best possible choice in such a situation.

“Then…… Duke Carlyle Haven”

She chooses the noble ranked first on the list of nobility, the first prince, who was recently deprived of his position as crown prince following a grand scandal.

She plans to request compensation when he refuses, but contrary to her expectations, he accepts her choice. While also promising to provide a tremendous amount of support for the restoration of Pervaz.

“What do wish from me?”

“Don’t concern yourself with what I do in Pervaz. Don’t wish for me to treat you as a wife, and don’t join forces with my enemies. Then quietly sign the divorce papers when I request one.”

It was a deal with nothing for Asha to be dissatisfied about.

She took the hand of the arrogant man who even looked down on his father, the emperor.

His lips spread into a charming smile.

“I hope we can get along well, wife.” <<less

Arsene, the only heir to the wolf family known for his illness, has died.... more>>

The culprits are my father and my half-sibling.

They killed the heir by lying to use the family's healing powers.

Thanks to this, the family was destroyed, and I was caught up in it and died.

But—.

"Lady, wake up!"

When I opened my eyes, I was back at the age of seven before I died!

"Let me marry Arsene!"

I can't die under false accusations again.

I requested a contract marriage to the Wolf family without my father's knowledge.

After curing the heir's illness, I was going to divorce and leave when I turned 20.

As the wolf family and our family are hostile to each other, they might hate me, but it's better than to die motionless.

Let's hold it in until we turn 20!

That's what I thought—.

"Look at these fluffy feathers... how..."

"Lady, you look cute today too. Hoho, you seem to be getting cuter day by day."

"I guarantee you, you will be the most beautiful of all the beasts at this festival!"

Strangely, the people in the Wolf Mansion like me so much?

"You're not pretty? It looks like all the mirrors in the mansion are broken. I'll have to ask them to buy a new one."

My father-in-law even changed all the mirrors.

The servants wished to touch my feathers once.

Besides, my contract husband is weird, too.

I thought he was waiting for divorce whenever he had time—.

"Linsy, you're my wife. Where are you going to leave me?"

"Now that you're an adult, you have to fulfill your duty as a married couple."

My adult husband's eyes are strange.

Is this okay? <<less

“This baby isn’t yours.”... more>>

Simon’s eyes glistened coldly at my words. Apparently he’s smiling, but in a strange and spine-chilling tone, Simon asked me.

“…Oh, really?”

That low, shady voice, pretending to be gentle. The anger in his voice was cold and cruel enough to freeze his surroundings.

“Then, which bastard does that child belongs to?”

He’s angry. I’ve known him for a long time that’s why I could tell. That’s the voice that comes out when he can no longer hold back his anger. But then… why the hell is he so upset?

“If you’ll know, what are you going to do?”

“That jerk can’t even be a good father so…”

“…… so what?”

“I can’t let him live.”

Oh no. I’m in trouble. After seeing his golden eyes lit with fire, there’s no way I could tell him now that it’s his child.

As if it wasn’t enough to be hit on the head by my co-workers and boyfriend, I died at the hands of my gambling-addict older brother. Without even regretting my unfortunate death, I realized that I had possessed a supporting role in a romantic fantasy novel, which I just read yesterday. To be precise, a villainess destined to die at the hands of her husband. I know it’s cliché!... more>>

‘Possessed a villainess in a romantic fantasy novel! So this is what it feels like?’

I thought it was pretty good for the price of my unfair death. Until I realize that no matter what I do, I can’t deviate from the flow of the original. For the female lead Lizé, it’s a delightful cider series, but it’s nothing more of a bloody story for Edith, the villainess I possessed.

I am the protagonist in my life. If I’m going to die according to the original story, I should at least kiss my super handsome husband! In the original story, Edith is greatly despised by her husband, but who cares, I’m going to die anyway. However…

“You pretended not to be, but now you’re so hot to play with. Well, that’s good.”

“Yes…?”

“Satisfy me like Riegelhoff’s serpent. Well, who knows? I might be interested in that body of yours.”

I only have one goal. To avoid death and survive by winning his favor. But then…

“Don’t forget, Yurina. I’m the only one who can save you and kill you. So you have to stay by my side.”

The child, who I thought was a dog-like cat, has grown up to be an obsessive man! <<less

Was the voice of a snake seducing the first woman like this?

***

“What can I do to stop doing this?”

“You’re wrong, Haewon. You don’t want to tame me, but you want to first put a leash on me.”

“You’re not the type to stay still even if I fill you up.”

“Huh? Do I look like that?”

Adam smiled and asked back.

“But you keep avoiding me.”

So she thought he would attack her.

“Please be kind to me. Then I’ll listen to you.”

Adam, who straightened his head, bent his eyes and smiled.

“Huh? Haewon.”

Adam’s eyes as he put Haewon’s name in his mouth

He was filled with joy as if he were a man possessed by a passionate dream.

Like an alpha who met his destined mate. <<less

But, I found out that my young husband’s household was secretly abusing him. At that moment, I immediately became overwhelmed with the responsibility and sense of duty a modern adult would have.

Aiden had his back turned away from her and suddenly grabbed her arm forcefully. The strength of his hands alone could have ripped her arms off. Erin timidly called his name and spoke.

“I already reminded you yesterday. We’re a married couple, so I’m always on your side.”

“…”

“So, everything is alright.”

She comforted him with these sweet words like it was a spell. And as if he was under her magic, Aiden stopped trembling.

***

The adult Erin requested to divorce her husband Aiden before the female lead appeared. As soon as those words left her lips, Aiden’s smile disappeared.

“A divorce? Never.”

Aiden tore the divorce papers into such thin sheets, the contents were no longer legible. Erin smiled at the sight. <<less
