“Your Highness, please love me for just one year.”

I asked him to fall under a spell that would make him love me for just one year.

In return, I would give him information that could change his future.

“I can see the future through foresight.”

I didn’t bother to mention that the price was my own lifespan.

Anyway, I wasn’t planning to live long.

“I accept that proposal.”

So I married him, and 11 months passed.

There was less than a month left. Of my lifespan, and his love.

“The contract will end soon.”

“……I see.”

“Don’t worry. The spell will definitely be broken.”

“That’s not what I’m worried about. Let’s talk about this later.”

“Alright.”

But that ‘later’ never came.

For some reason, the spell broke early, and I had to prepare to leave.

[Thank you for everything.]

I thought everything would be settled by leaving a letter and departing from his side.

He wouldn’t want to see the face of a woman he was forced to love, even for the last time.

But a week later, an unbelievable rumor reached my ears.

He was looking for me. <<less

Right after I found out I was pregnant, my husband died.... more>>

And I was mu*dered too.

When I opened my eyes, I had returned to two years ago.

“Just so you know, this marriage isn’t my choice.

I don’t sleep with men, even if you manifest as an omega.”

My arranged marriage partner said the exact same thing to me again.

“It’s really confusing, you know.”

Then he closed the distance between us and kissed me, brushing gently with his soft lips.

“I must be insane.

To go into rut because of such a weak pheromone…”

I don’t want to be used anymore.

I don’t want to be mu*dered again.

Please, divorce me.

Jeong Minchae: After being mu*dered right after learning about his pregnancy, he returns to two years in the past. He refuses to be tormented and used again because of drug side effects, or to be killed again.

Baek Mugyeong: Unexpectedly became Executive Director of DS Motors due to a deal with his grandfather, and is now forced into an unwanted marriage.

‘Siren’ a name derived from an ancient creature, used to describe those who could charm, lure, control, and heal others by singing.... more>>

Subjected to live the life of a siren, Aria had experienced, seen, and heard many horrific things. Broken beyond repair, Aria resigned herself to death, when suddenly…

The Grand Duke, Lloyd Cardence Valentine, arrived and whispered.

“Should I kill everyone here?”

“If you need me, just call me. Your song will always reach me, wherever you are.”

In the end, Aria called the devil, bringing death to all those present, along with herself.

“Let’s fall to hell together.”

And with that, Aria breathed her last and died… only to return to her 10-year-old self.

Now that she had a second chance at her life, Aria was determined to change her fate, as well as the cruel fate of her saviour, Grand Duke Valentine.

And so… Aria proposed to him with a marriage contract.

She sold her soul to the devil and vowed to protect him.

[Marry me.]

Aria extended her hand and gave him the contract.

[Let’s get divorced in 10 years…]

The young duke took the contract from her hand.

“So, where should I stamp the seal?”

“You said you’d divorce me within 10 years.”

The grown-up villain leaned in, hovering his head before he kissed her tenderly over her crown.

Lyra Norris – the troublemaker of the Norris barony. For her, persecution and ostracism were daily companions. Then one day, a ray of hope descended.

To build an ordinary family, to love ordinarily.

But life had never flowed according to her will.

“You needn’t worry about her v*rginity. This child knows nothing of men.”

Her stepmother’s praise came with an unfamiliar face, while calculating eyes examined her like merchandise. That day, Lyra discovered why she was being sold as a bride.

“I have to… run away.”

For the first and last time, Lyra resolved to defy her parents.

Then, like salvation, a man appeared.

“Do you have somewhere to go?”

“…No.”

“Then let’s make a deal.”

“A deal…?”

“Don’t you want to start a new life? I’ll give you that chance.”

An irresistible sweet temptation.

“What do you say? Why not become a villainess for me?”

And so began a fate that seemed like a game. <<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

Currently, the most popular 22-year-old actress in South Korea is Lee Hee-Won.

She gained popularity with her innocent first-love image, becoming a hot icon who generates endless gossip. But now, she’s in the worst scandal of her life!

“We’ve been dating for a year and are seeing each other with the intention of marriage.”

To quell the scandal, she begins a contractual romance with Kwon Ji-Seop, the son of her agency’s CEO and an executive director at DK Electronics.

“How much more do you want to disrespect me?”

She begins to strongly dislike him as he continuously belittles her and tries to rebuke her actions.

But despite her strong aversion, “!!!”

"You're just receiving support, aren't you? Someone might think your mother-in-law is telling her daughter-in-law to sell herself."... more>>

Radilt Brill, who lost her husband at a young age and took on the responsibility of supporting her in-laws, found herself attending the widows' support group, "Plumen Party," under the pressure of her mother-in-law, who demanded she earn money for her sister-in-law's new dress.

Wearing an old dress and worn-out shoes, Radilt stood in a corner of the banquet hall like a withered flower until a man approached her.

Pendleore Duston.

He was a wealthy, titled, and highly sought-after bachelor of marriageable age.

Radilt's heart fluttered at his striking appearance, but only for a moment, as she found herself swept into his carriage as if abducted.

"I wish to court you, madam."

"...Court me?"

"Let’s just say I find the conditions of Mrs. Brill agreeable."

Conditions?

"I am... well, a widow."

"That’s the most satisfying condition."

"...Are you looking for someone convenient?"

"Good. At least you're not entirely oblivious."

A contract dating proposal from a rude yet elegant man who had no intention of marriage.

"You may leave if you wish. Or, you could take my hand."

A relentless mother-in-law, burdensome dependents, a sister-in-law's new dress, the Plumen Party, sponsorship...

Radilt’s hand gently rested on Pendleore's palm.

"It’s an honor, madam."

What answer could there be other than to take this hand? <<less

After a red meteor slashed through the heavens, human progress ground to a halt. ... more>>

Since that momentous day, humanity lost its ability to create rockets, nuclear weapons, airplanes, cars...

The towering pyramid of civilization, meticulously built from the achievements of modern science, crumbled into dust.

Yet, the catastrophe didn't stop there. The grey realm, following the arrival of the red meteor, like a ghostly reflection behind a mirror, dragged the civilized world bit by bit into the abyss of disorder.

In this new age, a human life was no more significant than a speck of dust, yet amidst the ruins, humanity's spirit shone as brightly as the stars.

Amid the crumbling edifice, observers could see a figure—an actor—defiantly standing on the wreckage of civilization, his red cloak as vivid as blood, his expressions flickering between laughter and tears. Behind him, the curtain of the era gently parted. With arms wide open, he whispered to all who would listen— "Let the show begin." <<less

A man’s voice as the red moon fills his vision.

This is a premonition. The man in her dream was the one who saved her from the hell her stepmother had created in her last life.

“For his sake,” she says, ”I must stay out of his life.”

But after the regression, she…

“Why did you come now?”

Once again she was shaken by the man’s plaintive plea.

“…Are you ill?”

Before the original story begins, I reincarnated as a lowly noble burdened with debt. I managed to survive by selling bits of information to an underground guild, but even that has its limits.... more>>

However, as the story is about to start, I know that the villain’s family is looking for a fake contract daughter-in-law to pretend to be pregnant to delay the death declaration of their missing eldest son. If I take on that role for just a few months, I could earn a lot of money.

I was planning to live quietly as a dutiful fake daughter-in-law…

“If you stay here, I’ll give you all of Ekian’s inheritance.”

But the Duke, my father-in-law, likes me too much.

“Why solve everything with money? How about adopting her and remarrying her?”

The Duchess, my mother-in-law, wants to mess up the family registry.

“You did marry my brother, right? You won’t leave if he comes back, right?”

Even my brother-in-law, the villain of the original story, clings to me!

Meanwhile…

“They said after a while, they’ll divorce me and find me a good remarriage prospect personally.”

“…Remarriage? You mean to marry again?”

The head of the information guild, whom I used to sell information to, is acting strangely.

“That husband… he might come back.”

What nonsense is this? According to the original story, the eldest son of the villain’s family remains missing.

***

“E-Ekian? Is that you, Ekian?”

“You… you are back? Really?”

Impossible.

The eldest son of this house is never supposed to return!

“Yes.”

Who is this handsome man confidently walking into the mansion?

“I heard I got married. Where’s my wife?”

What? I suddenly have a super handsome husband! <<less

“I need money.”... more>>

Her family went bankrupt and was completely ruined.

She went to the residence of the blind Duke, the male protagonist in the novel, desperate for money.

“How is life at the Duke’s castle?”

“I am living very comfortably, thanks to the great consideration of His Excellency the Duke.”

“You think it’s nice living here? Then, let’s get engaged.”

Now, what does liking living in the Duke’s residence have to do with getting engaged??

“Congratulations. Now you’ll be able to continue living in a place you like.”

“Could I possibly have the right to refuse, by any chance?”

Marin asked cautiously, with trembling eyes.

I hope I do. Please. <<less

I always thought overworking to death was something that only happened to others—until it happened to me.... more>>

Don’t you think it’s a shame to die like this? I have a proposal for you.

After striking a deal with the Fourth Goddess, I found myself possessing Valerie Hestia, a fallen noble, and tasked with running a share house in another world.

It seemed like a simple deal—achieve 100% satisfaction from all the residents within a year, and I’d be reborn with a silver spoon. But…

‘Did I just get a job in a gore fantasy world?’

Is being a share house manager really supposed to be this extreme? As if having ‘humanoid monsters’ as residents wasn’t strange enough, there’s also a suspicious, dying old tree planted right in the middle of the garden. To top it off, the residents I’ve gathered seem… off, to say the least.

“That tree looks familiar to me.”

“…Pardon?”

“Valerie, would you like to become my savior?”

Starting with this mysterious weirdo who’s desperate to hire me as a savior using the tree as an excuse.

“Would you sell this tree—no, this mansion to me?”

“…So suddenly?”

“I’ll give you a blank check.”

Not to mention the researcher (a tree worshiper) who’s constantly eyeing the mansion.

“Landlord, you look a lot like someone I’m searching for.”

“Someone you’re looking for? Don’t tell me they’re a criminal?”

“Don’t worry. I won’t kill them.”

And don’t forget the thug cop who’s desperate to arrest me.

* * *

The biggest problem? Strange incidents have kept happening ever since these people moved in.

Can I successfully manage this share house until the end with these blatantly suspicious residents—uh, I mean, dear residents?

I don’t know.

But first, I must protect them…! <<less

I was possessed by Audrey Delphonie, the daughter of a baron in a novel that was completed with a happy ending that left no room for doubt.... more>>

It was already unfair to have been possessed after the original work was completed without a twist, but I couldn't believe I was an extra that was going to be sold as an old viscount's third wife!

In the end, I decided to use a contract marriage, a cliché that everyone who was possessed in romance fantasy novels knew well. After scouring the original work, there was only one single man I could find.

A douchebag in the original work who was trampled by the male protagonist after pestering the heroine and second son of a count, who was called the tr*sh of the world and didn't even have the right to inherit the title, Trish Malekiah.

But wouldn't it be a win-win if we used each other and neatly went our separate ways?

So, I went to the gambling house where Trish was and offered him a contract marriage.

"Don't you need money? I can show you how to make big money."

So I taught him how to make money using the Blue Marble Game.

"If his parents treat him more warmly, won't he also open his heart?"

As a child who was thrown away, I helped him a little so that he could get closer to his family again.

I was going to live peacefully like this and get divorced when the contract ended, but...

"If I am rehabilitated and changed, am I still worth using?"

This man, whom I thought was just tr*sh, somehow seemed to have changed. <<less

Kisa could no longer endure this deception.

**

Before her, who was struggling with an oppressive father over the broken engagement, a man appeared like a savior—Seyard, who suddenly became a duke in place of his deceased brother.

"Kisa, will you marry me? To solve each other's problems."

A suspicious man with nothing known about him. However, he was kind, and unlike her father, he supported her.

Sometimes, an inexplicable chill overcame her, but everything went smoothly. Until a letter arrived from her former fiancé.

Owner of the opulent great theatre, a man with whom anyone may fall in love at first sight.... more>>

The audience recognized the famous name when they saw Edgar Wharton, the blond, gorgeous man enter the theatre.

Even though he makes several females lose sleep over their affection for him, Natalie has a crush on a genuine gentleman rather than this showy socialite.

However, Edgar Wharton, famous for winning ladies' hearts with his attractive grin, accidentally revealed her hidden, unrequited love.

"I'll help you."

The playboy of the social world and the bookworm of the baron's family shared a common goal: to assist each other in finding love.

“Natalie, will you be my girlfriend? Leonard will fall in love with you, and we can break up."

The curtain was raised on a play called 'Contract Dating,' in which the goal was to avoid falling for the other's act of love.

"I'm not good at deceiving others."

"Then try loving me."

The dominant man's smile was so appealing that it appeared seductive.

He asked her to cross the border, but he remained in place, commanding love but not loving.

Natalie vowed not to love him or allow herself to love him. But...

"Do you want to mess up my daily life?"

"Is it okay if I mess it up?"

Mr. Wharton smiled mischievously as he examined Natalie's lips.

"How far will you allow me?"

Can they avoid falling in love by the end of the play? <<less
