“Do as I say if you value your mother’s life.”... more>>

Erica was the nanny’s daughter and was forced to get married in place of the lady she served. Even the groom-to-be was the prince of the evil Archleiff Dukedom.

‘What if I am hated there, too?’

I’m dead meat if I get caught!

Even if it was frightening, Erica was prepared to put up with all forms of prejudice, mistreatment, and bullying in order to see the day when she would be reunited with her mother. But contrary to her expectation, the life of a fake bride turned out to be sweet, after all…?

“I take back what I said that you should live here like a mouse. Do whatever you want. Do as you like to your heart’s content.”

Erica tries hard not to forget that this marriage was bound to end someday, but it wasn’t easy at all. “Didn’t we agree to divorce once I become an adult?”

“That’s right. And at that time, I didn’t give you an answer.”

Unlike his gentle smile, her husband’s eyes flickered like a wildfire.

“Erica, if you ever have any place to go, shouldn’t it only be next to me?”

Will Erica be able to live the modest life she had always wanted without ever being discovered as a fake bride? <<less

[ You’re dead. ]... more>>

Possessed into the game ‘Flower of Arbonis,’ Ardi was trapped in the tedious cycle of regression forced by the system to see the ending with the male lead.

But, this regression seems different…?

“What if you grant me the chance to help you, Young Lady?”

“…I’m not sure what Your Highness is talking about.”

Estieren, who wasn’t even a target, starts showing interest towards her.

And suddenly…

[ Congratulations, Estieren Kaisian Route has been unlocked! ]

…Even his route was unlocked all of a sudden.

Flustered by this, Ardi tries to distance herself from him.

“Why are you here?”

“I was wondering if I would catch a glimpse of Young Lady’s face for a moment. In that case, may I request a song?”

Along with a series of coincidental encounters with Estieren and his sincere actions to help her, the relationship between the two gradually begins to change…

“I’m worried about Young Lady.”

“…For a variety of reasons?”

“Yes, for a number of reasons.” <<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

“If I kill you, this partner relationship will be broken.”
“You can’t do that. We’ll both die at the same time.”

We were tied together by a tightly shared fate.
Sharing the same wounds, the same pain, the same life and death.
Plus, we had to have physical contact for the symbiosis?

When I found out about his mask, he was cruel to me with no hesitation.
Unreasonable amounts of work, unreasonable demands…
Why can’t I be with another man?

“I’ve figured it out! How to break this partner relationship!”

Now that my life would be safe, all that’s left is to get away―

“I have no intentions of breaking it.”
“…pardon?”
“Just like you, I’m also curious.”

He held me in his arms and his gaze slowly descended to my lips.

“I’m curious about to what extent our pain will be shared.” <<less

I had a precognitive dream that my sister would die soon after entering into an arranged marriage. To prevent this, Aracilla chose to marry Damian, the younger brother of her intended spouse. The problem was, both of them happened to be formidable rivals—one a magician and the other a knight.... more>>

"Last year, was Young Lady the mage who snatched the orb like a sneaky weasel during the expedition?" "If I hadn't helped, you would have been rotting in a dungeon by now, don't you think so?"

The individuals who were moments away from throttling each other, dramatically agreed to a contractual marriage.

Falling in love? We'll never see each other as romantic partners, even if we live and die together.

...or so they said.

"Why is this woman so fragile and thin? It's making me worried for no reason."

"Why does this man insist on doing everything alone? I could help too."

They kept getting involved with each other... <<less

“I didn’t cheat on you with your fiancé; it was fate, do you understand?”... more>>

The heroine eloped with my fiancé.

On the day of our engagement.

After a moment of disbelief, the male lead came to me.

“The lady I picked out for the contract marriage ran off with her friend’s fiancé.”

“Goodness, there’s a lady just like me.”

“So I’m thinking of proposing a contract marriage to that friend.”

The eyes beneath the bushy eyebrows gleamed sharply.

“Will you marry me, milady?”

… It seems to be me.

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

Since my fiancé ran away anyway, there wasn’t much choice; I entered the wedding hall with the male lead.

I agreed to the contract with the intention of running away if necessary.

“I’ll try to make you a precious person to everyone.”

His fingertips, which descended to my earlobe, lightly brushed my tiny earring.

Shivers ran down my spine.

“The earring suits you very well.”

The earring had a purple gem that matched his eye color.

Something seems wrong with this contract marriage after all. <<less

It has been 10 years since the world turned upside down. When gates suddenly started opening and people awakened
Lee Haneul typed harshly.
Tadadadag, tak!... more>>

[Congratulations! The common characteristic has been revealed.]

Damn it.
The system message that only hunters could see.
In fact, who would have thought that it was a result of pure human labor.
Lee Haneul clenched her teeth.

After becoming a system operator, strange things started happening.

“I think we have seen each other somewhere? right?”
“Can I speak to you casually? It’s awkward to use honorifics on someone I see often.”
The S-Rank civil servant hunter whose hobby was to catch and stalk illegal hunters was talking to her.

“Tell me the reason why you guys are listed as S-Rank on the National Awakening Checklist.”
That damned sibling was actually really strong.

“Haneul-ah. Quit being the system operator and leave with me.”
"What? Why would I?"
“Because you are one of those people who will destroy the world.”
Her older brother, who had been missing for 10 years, suddenly appears and shouts nonsense. <<less

I wanted to live like the protagonist in a parenting novel.... more>>

But the reality of a wacky romance world has even patched my family with K-patches.

"I thought I was reborn into a parenting story, but it turned out to be a flop..."

Those darned flop parenting story families.

They're trying to send me to a 40-year-old single father. As if I, who succeeded with my romance novel knowledge, would fall for that?

"Oh, forget about those flop families! Don't they know I won't be pushed around anymore?"

Armed with a secret weapon, I went to the duke who the flop family sees as their enemy.

"Oh heroines of contract marriage novels, lend me your strength!"

Using my experience as a romance novel reader, I proposed a contract marriage, and thankfully, it was well received... Wait, they're being a little too accommodating? Is this the green light?

---

A dry gaze, as if looking at something worthless.

Surely, what was reflected in the duke's crimson eyes was all there was.

"I can't take my eyes off you."

The corners of his mouth rose in a smile that had never been drawn before.

"My bride, will you give me your hand now?" <<less

‘No, Billie. I don’t know how to live without you.’

An ecstatically soft voice pierced my ears.

Despite the gentle tone, my legs couldn't move as if I was caught in a trap, so I couldn't run away any further.

‘You promised that you would love me even if I break down. You said it's okay even if I become a mess.’

The man who had gone completely crazy hugged my waist affectionately.

“Even if I have to start over from scratch, everything is fine as long as I have you, Billy.”

Helios smoothly lifted my chin and whispered.

'So if you leave me, I'll start everything from the beginning. How about that? The choice is yours.'

What kind of choice is that?

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

I have become an extra who was killed in a contract marriage novel. Wanting to survive, I borrowed the role of the female lead and proposed a contract marriage to the male lead.... more>>

The problem is, I get infatuated easily so I added a contract clause on my own.

[ Reinhardt Erestain actively cooperates not to seduce Irovel Hoover. ]

"What if you look at me with that handsome face of yours, and I fall for you? Don't look at me. Did you make an effort to become uglier?"

"I'm sorry. I'm trying my best."

I feel like I'm being stared at like a marked target by the people around me. Maybe it's just my feeling…?

After the contract period expired, the female lead eventually appeared. I needed to return the borrowed male lead to the female lead now, so I handed my husband the expired contract and tried to leave.

"Where are you going after teasing me for a year?"

"Teasing? What are you talking about?"

"You put a rule on not seducing me, but you actually seduced me to your heart's content."

When did I seduce you? I only set up a wall! As my husband looked at me with a puzzled expression, he pressed his lips with a heated gaze.

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."

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?"

The acting of the villain who was crazy in love was now over.... more>>

Lacey’s plan to run away from everything and set off in search of freedom had been perfect, at least until the moment when she was supposed to be paid.

Because what Lacey held in her hand was not a check, but a wanted leaflet with her face on it.

She had no time to feel the tingling in her head after her client double-crossed her. Lacey had to leave the country in a hurry, so she took advantage of the rain to sneak onto a strange ship.

Is she a guest for the night, or is she stowing away to escape?

She met Halide, the crown prince of a foreign land, who had been her enemy during her villain life…

“Since you have accomplished the role of the villainess, you can be the bride of the century, right?”

“Yes?”

“The role I want for you to play is simple.” Leaning against the window, he smiled. “You, who I brought from an exotic country, fell in love with me at first sight.”

“Who are you? What do you want me to do?”

He raised the corner of his mouth to Lacey, who was stood frozen. With just that look in his eyes, he closed in onto the frozen Lacey.

“I look forward to your acting that is convincing to anyone.”

Instead of the villain’s mask, it was time to use a white veil.

“Don’t forget. Now we’re on the same boat.”

“While we’re on it… I’ll tell you when you’ll get on the other ship.”

“You’re on it now, aren’t you?”

Looking at her, he slowly l**ked his lips.

“A boat other than this boat.”

“…….”

Her gaze stopped in one place. Lacey realized it belatedly and groaned. It was too early to say that he could eat using his desires.

“Come here, my bride.” <<less

Today, I am getting married for the second time to my husband, as the daughter of the imperial family he hates.... more>>

Pretending to be good, pretending to be weak, pretending to be poor.

I possessed the villainess Gabriella Nashert, a villainess who possesses the ‘three-piece combo’ that enrages the readers.

So I decided to not be a villain.

‘The original? Who cares? Let’s push it with a tank.’

That’s why I proposed to a man unrelated to the original novel for a contract marriage, and left the place where the original plot took place.

The three years I spent with my husband was quite sweet.

Even though it ended with my death.

However, when I woke up again, I found out that I became the daughter of the family who’s responsible for my death?

I’m also known to be an idiot who is threatened by my blood-related brothers, Peony Hualen Isodeim!

For once, I have to pretend to be innocent in order to survive. But is it because I lived as a villain in the original story? It’s so easy to raise other people’s blood pressure with my immature acting, so I feel a little embarrassed.

‘How can I be so natural…?’ <<less
