Duke Adler, who is called the best man in the Asgard Empire, is as handsome as a statue… no– is a serial killer and hidden villain in this novel. And Princess Charlotte, whom he married out of convenience, is mu*dered on the first night of the wedding.... more>>

…the thing is, I am the princess who was fated to be killed by the hidden villain on the first night.

“It’s an arranged marriage anyway, and we don’t even want to see each other’s faces, so we’ll only meet on the day of the wedding.”

It is clear that the hidden villain is reluctant to marry me. So my choice is…

“I fell in love at first sight. So go out with me!”

Only six months left until the wedding. I decided to do an undercover investigation under the pretext of dating. People don’t believe me, so I’ll have to find the evidence myself.

While I was by his side trying to lay bare the fact that he is a serial killer…

***

“You said you fell in love with me at first sight, what were you doing with another man?” a cold voice flowed into my ears.

“What, what do you mean? It was just a dance to get the banquet going…”

The nape of my neck heated up from his hot breath that touched my earlobes. The cold voice and the contrasting sensation made me even dizzier.

“In his arms, you affectionately called him by his first name.”

“Eub.”

I held my breath because I couldn’t keep my mind from the intense musk scent that wrapped around my body. My whole body was tingling from the strange sensation that ran along the back of my neck.

He tilted his head and said, “If there is another bastard’s scent on your body… I will kill him.” <<less

A distinguished guest was welcomed to the palace of the Arilance Empire.... more>>

This lord was said to be a noble emperor.

After hearing this, the people of the empire scoffed. Who’s emperor would wander around in despair? This man must be a liar.

The emperor of the Arilance Empire was a tyrant.

The people of the empire placed their bets, speculating on the date when the liar would be beheaded by the emperor.

Three months, five months……

Months have passed, and the liar has not yet been beheaded. The people of the empire can barely remember about it.

One day, the blue sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. Holy archangels and black-winged demons stood together, headless hors**en rode on abyssal dragons, and thousands of troops came from a distance.

——They came to meet their emperor.

That day, almost everyone in the city saw the powerful foreign race at the head and the thousands of troops kneeling down on one knee to the liar in the palace, with their right hands clenched into the left side of their chests.

——The world is ignorant, only the emperor shines with the sun and the moon.

——I offer my heart and loyalty to my lord.

The people: ……

No way, is this for real? <<less

At the beginning of the imminent doom, Lu Mi, who had crossed to a different world, was thrown directly into the abyss rift with hellish difficulty, with only a blank book in his hand——... more>>

[The Book of Solomon’s Keys]

[As long as the target voluntarily writes their name on this book, you can gain knowledge and abilities from the other party]

Looking at the monsters that filled the abyss, Lu Mi slowly revealed an apologetic and polite smile.

After a frenzy of upgrades, Lu Mi was finally able to leave the abyss and return to the outside world.

****

In the year 2277 of the new calendar, countless pitch black cracks appeared in various places, and monsters of all sizes poured out from the abyss behind the cracks.

As a result, the entire world entered an era of tyranny, and countless extraordinary beings emerged, causing the world to fall into madness.

Among the top tier monsters, there is a group that is particularly different – they are all looking for the owner of a book.

[He conquered us in the abyss, and we offered him all our names so that he could summon us at any time and use our abilities, knowledge, and power]

[But then he suddenly disappeared – We need to find him! We should find him! We will definitely find him]

[There is only one throne in the sky, and he is the only person qualified to compete for that position! We are his most loyal supporters]

At this time, Lu Mi was being interviewed for his new job at the newly established Extraordinary Guild——

Interviewer: “What is your opinion on the ‘Dominator of the Four Pillars’ and’ Lord of the Future Abyss’ mentioned by those monsters?

Lu Mi：“……？”

Who is that?

After all the trouble, I finally returned to a comfortable life. My pursuit for the rest of my life is to slack at work and have three insurances and one fund. Who is adding drama to me again! <<less

In preparation, she chose a new husband and ally but...... the more she looked at this man, full of vitality like a flame, the more she liked him.

"You know how to play pretty."

"I'm going crazy."

Kassius was not expecting this. He hadn't expected the seemingly stoic and noble Empress to be so vulnerable and sometimes endearing. <<less

But it’s not easy.

The head of the rebel forces, the Villainous Top, is scheming treason in my hotel.

“Please tell me what you want. I shall have it placed into your hands.”

“Anything?”

“Anything. My Master Ruby.”

The head of the rebel forces and the Villainous Top, Eligos. There was something I want from him.

“Eligos. Stop the rebellion. You cannot become the Emperor.”

“In return, there is also something I want.”

Eligos, whose arm was wrapped around me, slowly stooped his head down, and we closely sensed each other’s breath. His firm fingers dazedly rubbed my lower lips. The moment I looked at Eligos with reddened eyes, his arm that had been on my waist tightened. Eligos, who laid me down on the bed in an instant, gave me a beautiful smile.

“Ruby. I wish for you to have me tonight.” <<less

Chosen after a long period of bloodline selection, seven women with the mixed blood of goddesses were selected to be the Imperial Guards and become direct trusted aides loyal only to the Emperor himself—this was the reason why the Haines Empire was the strongest military power on the continent.... more>>

Armed with teleportation magic and city-destroying forbidden spells that could be used at will, they were undoubtedly the most terrifying war machines in this land. However, in reality, these demigod Imperial Guards were far less outstanding than the legends…

“They don’t have the moral values of humans! They’re just a bunch of degenerates who only care about profits!” A transmigrator from another land, His Highness Rayne would always kick the coffin board agitatedly at the mention of these Imperial Guards.

“The System resurrected me a thousand times, of which at least 800 times, I was stabbed in the back by them!”

If he killed them, he would have no one of use in the Empire.

If they were left alive, he would be stabbed in the back sooner or later.

After the thousandth rebirth, Rayne finally figured out an unprecedented path.

This time round, he was no longer going to negotiate using benefits—he was going to conquer them with his personal charm! <<less

One day, Senelia realized that the world she lived in was a novel.... more>>

As a result, she fell into the trap of the tyrant emperor Cliff and had to make Benelucia, the male lead in the novel, love her.

So Senelia wandered around him for a year without saying a word, followed him for another year, and dated him for six years.

Even if he met the original female lead, Senelia would appear in his mind.

Senelia devoted eight years of her time to Benelucia for that purpose.

Without that much effort, she wouldn’t be able to steal the male lead from the original female lead.

Eight years passed by.

Finally, the male lead started obsessing over her. <<less

“The Phantom Thief Astar has appeared!”... more>>

Astar, a phantom thief, is renowned for stealing items with unique powers called "Ashtartes," treasures of the empire that are blessed by the gods. He is also known for pilfering valuables from the nobility to distribute among the common folk, which has garnered him a legendary status. During one of his heists, while securing an Ashtarte, he crosses paths with a mysterious individual named Aeon.

Aeon: “As expected, this one’s indeed a fake. If so, where’s the real one?”

Astar: “If the Ashtarte approves of me, then the original must be where I am.”

Upon discovering a man at the scene, Astar lights sleeping incense to conceal his tracks. While he escapes unscathed, Astar remains intrigued by the enigma of Aeon's identity – a mysterious figure acknowledged by the crown prince and esteemed by the nobility.

Aeon: “… My name is Aeon Worth.”

Astar: “A pleasure to meet you, Monsieur Worth. I’m Chloe Evanchester.”

Astar realizes that Aeon, whom he met by chance, knows about the treasure he’s been chasing, called “Dawn” – Astar’s ultimate goal. He then goes undercover as Aeon’s physician.

A villain is a villain.... more>>

I want to continue being a villain.

After possessing the main villain, Sasha tries to avoid the death penalty ending by following the main story under certain circumstances.

“I won't kill you; let me show you how great of an emperor I will become.”

“……I’ll look forward to it.”

Unlike the original work, Sasha quietly exits the story, hiding the joy of surviving. However, an unexpected situation occurred....

“Sasha Ambrose, I need you. I believe you won’t refuse.”

“Of course, I belong to Your Majesty. You spared my life.”

Edward, the main character of the original work summons Sasha to the imperial palace with unexpected words.

One day, my sister breaks up with the male lead.... more>>

I couldn't bear to see her all gloomy, so I took it upon myself to find that knight.

The plan was simple: deliver my sister's sincerity and patch things up.

However, when I finally reach the place, that knight is nowhere to be found...

"I don't care if you're a man or an alien anymore."

"Well, actually, I am an alien!"

"That just makes it even more exciting."

Instead of meeting the person I want to see, I met a crazy man.

* * *

It was a dreadful first encounter. I was trembling with fear, but I couldn't let myself give up just like that. Determined, I chose to quietly observe and bide my time, waiting for the perfect opportunity to meet the male lead alone, just like a shadow.

However, a small problem arose.

"It's better to give up."

"What do you mean all of a sudden...?"

"I have no intention of just watching while you turn your attention to another man."

It seems like this crazy man was seriously misunderstanding something.

* * *

I am Charlotte La Bravant, a woman who never gives up.

After much effort, I achieved my goals and quickly escaped, basking in the joy of success. And why wouldn't I succeed? I’m the younger sister of the esteemed Marquess Bravant, also known as the dazzling rose of the high society after all!

"Did you think you could escape and I wouldn't find you?"

"H-how did you...?"

"You've become even more beautiful since I last saw you. So, was that man's embrace warm?"

"What?"

The duke's eyes grew more intense as he said that. <<less

A young princess, Dahlia of Bahran, encounters Hissin at the temple one day...

"You've learned so much in such a short time."
" I know everything about Bahran."

For a man who couldn't remember anything but his name, he seemed to know a suspicious degree about Dahlia,

"It's only a simple step, Your Highness."
"Ah..."
"For this night, it will be just the two of us."

He kept leading Dahlia into forbidden territory...

"Only by falling into the filthiest and ugliest of places can I find favor with the Princess."
"Are you kidding me?"
"You don't like the filthy and hideous."

But to Dahlia, who was tormented by her divine powers, the touch of Hissin's hand was an irresistible poison that could soothe the pain.

"What can I do."

Could he really be the devil who would lead her to her doom?

"The kind of man who wants to hold you."

Or perhaps he's an angel who might save her from this hellish world? <<less

She possessed a villainess who is known and hated for her evil acts in an unpopular novel. But because of her personality, it was extremely difficult for her to play the villainess role. But not for long…... more>>

“I’ll fix your dress according to your taste this instant!”

“My request.”

“O-Of course! As per your request, there’s only one piece available in the whole Empire.”

People around me listen to me well even if I just frown and sit still. Since I don’t have to live in difficulty, I decided to just comfortably live on as a villainess.

“Father. Is it necessary for you to solve formulas in this slow and inefficient way?”

I thought it would be good to be a rich villainess, so I used all my knowledge.

“Why don’t you give me the honor of escorting the Princess?”

I have had enough of dealing with my father, so why did an unexpected character suddenly appear? What if this person disrupts my plan? <<less

A life lived solely for the sake of the family.
I couldn't hope for anything, and I didn't have anything.
I thought it would be enough if I could just devote myself to the family.
What returned at the end of that devotion was a dreadful death.... more>>

"You dare not to know your place and covet the family's guardian magic, so pay it back with your life."

That's how I died.
But that's not bad either. Death is eternal rest.
I think I can rest now.….

"Are you up, miss?"

……my rest is gone?

* * *

After learning that I had returned to a year ago, I decided.

'I'm going to die as soon as possible.'

However, it is not easy to die because of the family's guardian magic. So I went to find a man.
The head of a family that that is hostile to the family I devoted my life to.
The only one who can break through the guardian magic and kill me.

"Hello, the weather is nice. It's always cold in the capital, but I think it's a little warm these days."

Ruan Qing, a surgeon who died suddenly from working overtime, transmigrated through time and became a useless doctor in the Dayan Dynasty.... more>>

Not only was the original owner of the body a quack doctor, but he was also terrible with his education and turned the Second Imperial Prince into a cripple. As a result, he was sent to prison, interrogated fiercely, and almost died tragically.

Ruan Qing: "……What kind of damned opening is this?"

At this time, the system suddenly appeared: "Dear, the surgical system is now bound to you. It not only provides MRI, vaccine development, medical cosmetology, and other modern medical technologies, but it also drops various medical equipment and medicines from time to time!"

So Ruan Qing returned to his old profession and started practicing medicine in the Dayan Dynasty.

The first trial—testing the water: Huizhou was hit by a pandemic and a vaccine was developed to save thousands of victims.

Gradually moving on to his next case: For the deformed child in Liuhe Village, genetic diagnosis technology was used to avert his tragedy.

Now the confident third case: the Empress was strangely disfigured and the medical cosmetic treatment helped restore her youthful appearance.

After the nth case, Ruan Qing became completely famous in the capital and became the Imperial Physician of the Dayan Dynasty. The Emperor rewarded thousands of taels of gold and countless manors, but he declined them one by one. Every day, he would go back home to farm the fields and ate three meals a day cooked by a certain jealous man.

The key point was that not only did this jealous man have great stamina and often attacked, but he also always liked to cling to him desperately, calling him "wifey" in an aggrieved manner if he got scolded even just a little.

In this way, the little doctor was tricked into having one baby after another. Looking at the babies crawling all over the floor and their silly and cheerful father, Ruan Qing (shrugged) said: "I can’t help it, my husband is too clingy."

Xiao Ziheng was the Second Imperial Prince of the Dayan Dynasty, but he was crippled by a doctor of unknown origin. In extreme anger, he sent the man into prison. But who would've thought the little doctor would change his ways? Not only did he solve a pile of medical problems for Dayan and helped the people, he was also able to help him surpass the First Imperial Prince, which was a big deal.

Xiao Ziheng: "……I think I'm falling in love, what to do?"

However, the little doctor was terribly afraid him. He would pitifully try and please him all day long, but the little doctor never came any closer and so Xiao Ziheng couldn't help but reflect: "Are you telling me that not liking to smile is illegal?"

Later, when the little doctor encountered trouble, he finally bared his canine teeth to protect him. Looking at the surprised look on his face, he laughed: "Be good, are you still afraid of me?"

The little doctor blushed in embarrassment and was carried back to his home by Xiao Ziheng to get married. He was so favored that if he wanted the stars or the moon, the Prince was willing to pluck them down the sky for him.

Xiao Ziheng (with an evil smile): "Can't be helped, my wifey is too cute." <<less

"Give me the princess."

Instead of facing execution, I was sold off to Felosite, the villainous Archduke in the original story, to marry. Infamous for his cruelty, he was the mastermind behind the sad ending that wiped out the protagonists and brought ruin to the Empire.

But why would he want me as his bride?!

A plaything for torture?
A means to form an alliance with the imperial family?
A sacrifice for dark magic?

Or...

"Feel comfortable, Lucian... that's what you can call me."
"Yes?"
"I'll give you everything you want. Just tell me what you desire."

The sight of my husband acting shyly in front of me and showering me with gifts was unbelievably awkward.

That wasn't all.

"Our precious niece! Let's go building shopping together!"
"Dear sister! I brought the delicious strawberry cake you mentioned! Let's eat it together!"
"We don't need that distant grandson! We'd rather have our adorable granddaughter-in-law play with this old man!"

When Iona woke up again, she realized that she had returned to the past and her husband was again chosen to be her partner.

Though her past wasn’t good, one thing she also didn’t want to change was her husband, the only success in her life. If so, she should at least turn this marriage into a ‘successful marriage’, she decided.

“Lord Leroy, I will formally propose to you; Please marry me. I will definitely make you happy.”

Iona was determined to repay her husband for his generosity. Just the way she wanted. <<less
