One night, Oscar picked up the key to a safe he had once desperately searched for. The person who came with it became a living key was a woman, extraordinary in every aspect. Her tearful eyes, naive actions, even her name and appearance. The woman was oddly irritating. He was even displeased at having to ponder how to describe that irritation. So, he wanted to temporarily put it out of sight, in a place where it couldn't be seen.... more>>

“I... want to be by your side.”

It was too ridiculous to be sincere, and far too pathetic to be temptation.

Therefore, the one who was ensnared was undoubtedly an idiot.

So, I must hold you accountable.

To you, who never had sincerity, not even for a single moment.

Until the very end...

To you, who even hid your name from me,

I will hold you accountable, very cruelly.

He is willing to do anything for his goals, even if it means kissing the back his enemy’s hand. He has brought his ruined family back to prominence through extreme efficiency. Therefore, he spurns himself for falling for the wiles of such ridiculous seduction, nor can he forgive the woman who made him feel this way.

Han Seo Ah – A mixed-race individual with brown hair and brown eyes. She has been an outsider from the moment she formed her first memory. Her appearance stands out, to the point she is suspicious of her birth. The starting point of her sin was when she came into existence. Therefore, she wishes to atone for all her wrongdoings; to her grandfather, and to that man whose mere presence makes her heart flutter. <<less

And the lord of the territory, ‘Genevu’, located at the empire’s borders and in the Atlas Mountains, which touched the skies.

‘Marquis Balt Haustein Friedrich Morenheitz.’

In order to save the lives of a woman and two children he had never seen before, he had to cut the legs of his beloved horse and pierced a sword into its throat.

"Bring the children's father. I will hold him accountable for the price of the horse's life."
"I don’t have a husband."

Blue eyes, resembling the still spring waters of the deep mountains, stared back at Balt.

"If there's anything I can do to repay you with a woman's body… I'll do it."
"Anything?"

Filled only with confusion and instinctual desire, Balt embraces Claire, a widow and a mother of three.

But that night, he realises that he is her first man.

"Why did you lie to me? Explain yourself immediately."
"Just leave me alone. Because there isn’t anything I want."
"What are you actually afraid of?"

I've transmigrated into my favorite romance novel, which I've read hundreds of times while waiting for its completion.... more>>

Wouldn't it be wonderful if I transmigrated as a noble lady living a comfortable life? Unfortunately, I've transmigrated as the villainess who tormented the heroine mercilessly, ending up dying a horrible death as a fake saint candidate.

So, unlike the original story, I quickly resign as the saint candidate and leave the temple. I then set up a home for a fortune-teller who can predict fate accurately, thanks to my memory of the author's typos. My reputation soars as I impressively predict the future, which was initially just a means to survive.

As a result, the temple that once ignored me, the first prince embroiled in the Throne of Blood War, and the next Ma-topju (the highest-ranking official) consumed by unprecedented narcissism all begin to obsess over me.

To escape the most dangerous part where I'm killed off in the original work, the temple, I must enter into a contract marriage. But who should I marry to make it work?

After much deliberation, embarking on a contract marriage proves to be anything but easy.

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

Unbeknownst to him, the woman he saved was not just any civilian but a succubus.

When Valen regained consciousness, he found himself not on the bloody battlefield but in a wedding hall within the demon realm.

“I am Argentine. And you are?”

“Do you think I’ll tell my name to a filthy demon like you?”

Weary from the prolonged wars, the demons proposed a political marriage to him. The absurd condition? It would last until Argentine, whom Valen saved, became pregnant with his child.

The idea of a child with demon blood repulsed him to the core. But pushed to his limits, Valen reluctantly agreed to their proposal.

“Let’s cease these charades and focus on what needs to be done. It’ll be better for both of us,” he growled.

“I want to give you time to accept…”

“Should I give not only my body but also my mind? Will that strengthen my ‘essence’?”

Valen was disgusted by the demons’ hypocrisy. He had intended to leave the demon realm as soon as the succubus bore a child.

“Whether you call for me or come to me, it’s up to you,” he said.

“…”

“I’ll do my da!mned best to give you my seed.”

Sehwa turned his head away as if he didn’t want to deal with them.
