After 18 years of suffering, I saved another world and barely returned.
Now, I thought all that was left was to enjoy peace with my beloved family...... more>>

Ding!

[Round 2 - Starting Hard Mode.
Time remaining until the first trial: 30 days]

Hey, you bunch of unethical guys.

I can't die like this.
Before the 'trials' hit, I cleaned up the family, built up my skills, and made thorough preparations.
But why is this mysterious figure showing so much interest in me halfway through?

"I have a question about the night we met in the cave."
"Haha, what are you talking about? We were meeting for the first time, right?"
"...Aren't you curious about who caused the accident that took your parents?"

What a brat, questioning our parents' accident?
Who does he think he is?

Looking around as he suggested, I realized there were more than a couple of suspicious points.
Unseen conspiracies and hidden motives surfaced, and just when we thought things couldn't get worse, the 'trials' began...

"Don't worry, Rosha, I'll handle it."
"Yeah, that bastard is the most suspicious one."
"Who's truly insane here? It's probably you."

Oh, don't fight!
At this rate, we'll all die! <<less

"I want you to live with me as my wife for just one year. Of course, you must bring that child with you."... more>>

A soon-to-be unemployed and deranged prince proposes to Hailey, a single woman with a child. However, it seems the prince is actually targeting her five-year-old nephew.

"I've been looking for a woman just like you. The perfect ideal I've dreamed of."
"Crazy bastard."

Hailey ends up entering a one-year contract marriage with the mad prince. With her nephew Theo, she heads to the mysterious island of Winchester, determined to repay the prince's grace like a grateful magpie. In the seemingly peaceful Winchester, mages and forest fairies start appearing.

"Daddy Axel."
Her nephew Theo keeps calling the prince 'daddy.'

"In a harmonious family, physical affection is a must."
The mad prince's flirting is going off the rails!

A chaotic journey of the three musketeers who seem like a family but aren't, as they enter the grand duchy of Winchester! <<less

Kiana, the troublemaker of the Prelai duchy.... more>>

I was about to give up my life as a villainess and be reborn as a new person.

Until one day, the family was hanged for treason.

‘There’s no need to kill me, who ran away from home 7 years ago and is only doing research in the countryside!’

The moment I realized that the academy, who said that I was a genius and would treat like a family, betrayed me, and that treason was also falsely accused by someone…

Due to a mysterious power, I returned to a year ago!

“I can’t help it. Now that it’s like this, I, who is smart and strong, has no choice but to save the family.”

There were two things to do for the family.

“Will I be of help to you someday too?”

“I tried to save him because he is precious to my grandfather.”

Restoring the relationship with the family, which was a mess, and…

“Please pretend to be in a relationship with me externally.”

Holding hands with ‘that man’.

Oh, before that. Pouring a water bottle over the dean’s head during the lecture, I said,

“This is gravity.” Get revenge on those academy guys who have no morals.

Kiana, who came back smarter and more vicious. <<less

My older brother, who was my only family member, lost his memory.... more>>

“I have a sibling? Are you kidding me?”

He was a fool who cared for me ever since he brought me from the temple…

“I can’t even take care of myself, so what is this…”

I left the family because I didn’t want to be a burden to my older brother, who had no memory, and was helpless in the tragedy that followed.

So I turned back time.

That too, to the point when my brother lost his memory.

“I don’t have anything in my head, so I don’t know what to do next. What if I have a kid with me?”

We must not repeat the tragedy of the past life. So I grimly said,

“That’s right. I don’t have anything on my brother’s head right now.”

“…What, what?”

I chuckled and took out a document I had prepared. The contents of the document, written in crooked, large letters, were simple.

[I transfer all the property in my name to my younger sister.]

While my gaping older brother was checking the documents, I took out his seal from his drawer and smeared it with ink.

Then I put it in his hand and said with a very sad expression.

“So stamp it. Now.”

I will protect you in this life. <<less

"My feelings will never change, Angelica. I'll bless both of you, so you can find happiness forever."... more>>

A confession from a secondary male lead that wasn't in the original novel. Rahil, who became emperor, vowed eternal love to the original female lead just before she went to the altar.

Now as the emperor, he needed to have an empress. But he wanted someone who wouldn’t torment his beloved Angelica. The perfect person for that role was Anais Ruol.

A woman who, despite her vow of eternity, dared to look down on the emperor with contempt. Indifferent to his love and clever enough not to hurt Angelica. A woman cold to love, cynical about it.

"There's no one else but you. Someone who can stay by my side without wavering, who can play the role of a wise empress..."
"Let's draft a contract. But before that... allow me just one slap."

For Angelica, for the nation, his feelings towards Anais leaned more towards denial. Yet, strangely, every time he was with her, Rahil felt an unfamiliar and unbelievable flutter in his heart.

"You can't... can't kiss me!"
"Why?"
"Because my first kiss will be with another man!"

On their wedding night, Rahil was both shocked and betrayed by Anais's explosive statement. But at the same time, he became even more determined.

"I'll make sure you, Anais, will be the first to kiss me." <<less

No up and down, no marriage, and no breaking the law Tanaka family just lives modestly and sticks to the rules of society.... more>>

The ordinary Tanaka family, who loves cats and is loved by cats.

The unfortunate Tanaka family, that has a sweet ending somehow.

That very Tanaka family got attacked by a sudden major earthquake. When they thought that they died in an instant, the whole family reincarnated to another world.

Is this an Otome game?
Or somewhere else?
Am I a villainous daughter?
Or a capture target?

I don’t know anyone. I don’t understand anything.

That monster is absurdly strong.

However, I can’t use magic and I have no skill.

The last ray of hope is insects?

If I mention the things that I can do: sewing and looking after insects.

A story about the Tanaka family living peacefully and modestly again for the time being in another world. <<less

She possessed Daphne, the evil woman who died while obsessing over her fiancée.... more>>

After all, she drank poison after being informed of the breakup but came back to life.

‘I can’t give up, let’s live first and see what happens!’

She urgently concocted an antidote for the pain in her throat and it turned out to be strangely effective? Moreover, it tasted good?

After possessing Daphne, she stumbled upon a fantastic business idea.

Screw the original and throw it away,

She was going to live a comfortable life in a faraway place, but–

“Watch where you’re going! Witch, do you have eyes?”

“W-Who doesn’t have eyes?”

Pretending to hate Daphne on the surface, in reality, he liked her more than anyone else.

She became a hero after saving two twins from a crisis.

“Thank you. As an outsider, I’m truly grateful.”

“If you don’t mind… can you bless our child?”

“You should have a proper land to do business.”

“I’ve made a rare good choice, so I’ll give my blessing as the head of the family.”

By some twist of fate, even the reserved and awkward family members ended up sobbing,

And managed to mend their strained relationship.

Though…

“It’s strange. When I’m with you, the world doesn’t seem so bad.”

Luciel, the Grand Duke who had become her business partner, was so naive that she worried about his capabilities.

“There’s delicious food right in front of you, so why do you insist on eating something so bitter?”

Wearing a beautiful disguise as if it were nothing and sweetly coaxing me,

The Grand Duke, who was frail yet full of charm and kindness, was actually the villain all along. <<less

My coin hit the jackpot.
But at the first moment of enjoying a life reversal, I died in a plane crash.
'Damn it!'... more>>

When I opened my eyes, I was in the world of a book.
More than that, I was the villainess of a tragic harem story.

What...?

If I don't break off my engagement within a year here,
will they send me back to my original world?
Back to the day when I realized profits worth billions of won?
Oh, dear God! I would even lick that man's feet! But he—

"Get lost."
"I find it disgusting to even touch you, so I will break off our engagement."

He hates me because of the original body owner's karma!
And this man is not an ordinary hard nut to crack!
Oh no, no!
Please, just bear with me a little...!

"Just bear with it for 3 months, what if I pay off your debt?"

Yes, I thought about just pretending to pay off this man's debt and endure for a year....
But the problem is, this man wasn't the only obstacle!

***

"Hey. Come here. Come on."
"Why!"
"Turn off the light."
"......"

This man, claiming to be my brother, picks fights over everything.
The arrogant male protagonist and tyrant of the book.

"Hey, I told you to break up with that stick, didn't I? Break off the engagement."
"What's so good about clinging onto him?"

And he even interferes with my engagement!
Will I be able to safely reunite with my coin? <<less

The Empress does not grant my resignation.

“Rishe Ilmgard Wertsner! I’m breaking off my engagement with you!”... more>>

“Okay, I understand.”

“Huh.”

The Duke’s daughter, Rishe left the evening party without delay.

In fact, for Rishe, this engagement has been terminated for the seventh time. That’s where her new life starts, after having enjoyed the way of life of a pharmacist and a dressed up knight, she lost her life at the age of 20 and has gone back to the scene where her engagement was broken off.

Normally, this could have broken Rishe’s heart, but her mentality became strong.

Her past six lives have been busy and fulfilling, she wants to live longer this time around.

If possible, she wants to live a life of leisure and squander money…

To commence her 7th life, Rishe has set up such a diagonal goal.

However, in this life, she will be married to the Crown Prince of a militant nation, who killed her in her past life.

…It’s probably better. It doesn’t matter if it’s a former rival country. In her seventh lifetime, she’ll enjoy loafing off at a castle!!

Against all her determination, she inadvertently demonstrated the skills she had cultivated in her past lives and garnered attention as a brilliant Crown Princess. <<less

A wicked mother one day brought home a girl.
The child was the hidden legitimate daughter of the duke, the heroine of [The Duke’s House Has Three Sons and One Daughter] Loretta.
I was Melody, the villainous girl who tormented her and was condemned along with my mother.... more>>

Not wanting to die like that, I decided to start treating her well now.
I personally fed Loretta, put her to bed, and played with her.
And then her reaction was…?

“I want Melody to marry me!”

Caught off guard by her endless affection, I too ended up entering the duke’s family,

“I’ll stick right by Miss Melody’s side.”

And there, it seems I’ve met a young lord who’s an even bigger ‘Melody fool’?

All I did was be kind to survive, but why am I being loved…?! <<less

If one must strive to be loved, then I will give up such trivial pursuit.... more>>

I will no longer try to kill myself.

* * *

Kalia Estelle, the cursed daughter of a count, had spent her entire life trying to be loved.

She had done everything to prove that she was different from her mad father, who killed their people and burned their land.

But all she achieved was the accusation of being the “devil’s daughter.”

The day before she came of age, Kalia made up her mind.

She would no longer seek cheap affection.

She wouldn’t sacrifice her soul for a fleeting love.

And if there was a next life, she wouldn’t seek love again.

As her consciousness faded and her breathing became labored, she suddenly found herself transported back five years to the past.

* * *

“I love you.”

I hesitated and backed away as Claude approached me.

But my back was against the wall, and before I knew it, he was standing right in front of me.

“Kalia.”

He peered through the small gap between his fingers that covered his face, carefully watching my reaction.

Despite his disheveled appearance, he was radiant at the moment.

He kneeled down and gently took my trembling right hand, making me feel as if this had all been a dream.

His lips touched the back of my dry hand.

“Just as you showed me the light and opened a new life for me, I want to do the same for you.”

Beneath his long, thick lashes, his eyes were filled with an unfamiliar emotion.

“You know why I live. Kalia, please let me love you.” <<less

I knew I had reincarnated as a child from a poor and ruined home.... more>>

And yet, I thought about the pastry shop, which in my previous life, I could not afford.

But in this life everything is different.

Originally, I was a possessed young woman who got in the way of the protagonist’s love story and ultimately wanted power.

If I want to avoid the bad ending, I must show the biggest lack of interest in power. Then, I will be able to bake the sweets that I have always wanted so much.

But with the emperor, not everything is so simple …

“How long will you avoid me for?”

The crown prince, the male lead, will drive me to ruin …

“You are my only cousin.”

Duke, the strongest knight of the empire …

“I love your lime pie.”

Even a s*ave who is meant to plunge a knife into me …

“I want to save you from death.”

Do you want me to be by your side? <<less

Bea Westwind, in her quest to revive her deceased master, dared to delve into the forbidden realm of alchemy: human creation.... more>>

However, the homunculus created through magus amalgamation did not resemble her master.

Instead, it took the form of a child.

As she observed her failed creation, Bea realized that it bore a striking resemblance to a certain man whose life she had once saved.

This man was none other than the Archduke of Vilkanos, from beyond the mountains.

Upon learning of the Archduke’s true identity, Bea went to demand compensation from him.

“I formally propose to you. For the honor of Vilkanos and yours!”

“No! I told you already! This is NOT your child!”

The man, upon seeing the homunculus, stubbornly insisted on accepting it as his own! <<less

I was reincarnated as the villainess, Daphne, whose death was set in stone. I didn’t want to die nor be sold. ... more>>

Let’s twist the original story.
With that in mind, I won the female lead’s favor and made the male lead the crown prince.
All right, I thought the only thing left was to walk on the flowery path.

‘Goodbye, my sister. You were really useful.’

...Despite my efforts, the male lead betrayed me. I, who had regressed to the age of 13, made a pledge.
‘I will surely make the filthy royal family and that bastard, the male lead, crawl on the floor.’

“I’ll sponsor you.”
As a result, I decided to sponsor the ultimate villain.

*

Everything went well until I decided to sponsor the villain.

“Come here, my lovely child.”
After saving the terminally ill father-in-law, why did he become so friendly?

“Milady! I brought you a duck..., your lunch is flying awayyy!!”
“I heard this is good for your body!!!”
“Milady, I have brought a bear for you!”
“Everyone, get out of here.”

What is it about me that the people here adore so much?

“Ah, you pretended you didn’t know when you actually knew?”

Also, why is it so fun to tease the ultimate villain, who I was so afraid of in my previous life?
It occurred to me that everyone here wouldn’t be bothered by my departure later, so I left them in peace.

“Where are you going, Daphne?”

I was mistaken. <<less

Scarlett, the daughter of great watchmakers is the wife of Viktor Dumfelt. ... more>>

“There was a drug used to sharpen memories in your wife’s tea.”

“…drug?”

“Overdose could lead to amnesia.”

While she was interrogated by the police, she loses her memories because of those who opposed Viktor’s return to the royal family.

“By the time you get out of here, you won’t remember what happened here.”

A week of missing memories. And the secret Viktor hid, revealed in the newspaper.

“You betrayed me.”

Scarlett couldn’t find the words to explain, because nothing came to mind. Eventually, she decides to divorce Viktor.

“Goodbye, my love.”

That was how their relationship seemingly came to an end.

“Why do you keep coming?”

“If you don’t want me to come, come back.”

He had been indifferent all this time, but now, he hung around her with an unfamiliar look on his face.

Expressionless, Viktor slowly spoke, “I’m going to get you back.” <<less

The plan was perfect.... more>>

And there was no better match than the prim playboy of the Escalante family.

“After we get married, everything will be different. You will be more free than before our marriage.”

“What about you?”

“Under the duties as your wife, I will do what is justifiable. It will be done regardless of you.”

“So, you’re saying you’re going to have a child but you’re not going to do this kind of thing with me?”

This was because she didn’t need a decent husband, but a man who would someday be legally removed from her life.

When he can fill the petition up with the names of the women he fooled around with overnight, then she can become a successful Ortega woman.

But then…

“I am not going to lay a finger on a woman who is not you, and until you give birth to a child, until you give birth to the next child, and then regardless of any child, I will satisfy you and I will make you satisfy me.”

“……”

“I don’t need such dog-like freedom or privacy that you want to give me so badly. There’s no such thing as that in the first place from the marriages I know of.”

The Duchess of Escalante refuses to live with the Duke of Escalante. Divorce due to unilateral fault.

“I’m a son of a bit*h but I’m more faithful than you think. Inés Valeztena.”

Inés Valeztena strives for a wonderful life.

“So I will never betray my family.”

Until her promiscuous fiancé betrays her by saying he will not betray her.

“I’m sorry, but you can’t live a life separated from me. Inés Valeztena.” <<less

Iona, the knight who was the loyal dog of the tyrant Emperor, gave her life for him. But her lord, whom she trusted, abandoned her in the end, and the person who stood by her side in her death was no other than her husband.... more>>

“I want to kiss you one last time.” Iona demanded on the verge of death.

“I’m telling you in advance… Just in case… You won’t die and this won’t be our last kiss.”

Satisfied with her non-lonely death, she closed her eyes.

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

In the original novel, she was the villainess, but she avoided all the death flags properly by faking her own death.
She saved even the poor child who was destined to die, sacrificed herself to ensure the protagonists' lives would be smooth…
And thus, she hid and waited for her own happy ending.... more>>

Finally feeling happy for a moment at the news of the original protagonists' marriage, she returned after hearing about her mother's passing...

…But why is everything all messed up?
No, more importantly, why was she in confinement?!

The original male lead, who was her childhood friend and fiancé, spoke.

"If I had known you'd fall for such a simple trick like a death notice, I would have done it sooner."

The male lead, who she thought had married someone else, laughed at her with utterly crazed eyes.
Why was he like this now? He wasn't like this before.

"You’ve got nowhere to run now."

What's going on here! <<less

Dahlia Von Klose who possesses two powers at the same time and the Fifth Returner [5th time regressor] Jurgen Axel Edelred.... more>>

In order to survive one more day, the two desperately needed each other.

Kissing Dahlia’s white legs up to her knees, he felt a distinct satisfaction.

Even if it’s a new presence in her world, yes. There is nothing different from the others. With a remorseful expression she’ll push him away saying don’t do this. She’ll hide the joy of having a higher status person with a dignified, proud face kneel before her, promising that he will grant anything she wants.

Grasping her heel, he swept up her soft calf and grabbed the back of her knee. Then he looked up at her as she trembled like her frightened bird.

Ha!

However, the moment Dahlia’s eyes met his, a chilling sensation of pleasure ran through Jurgen’s back.

Covering her mouth, Dahlia was holding back a burst of laughter, like someone who had seen a gruesome comedy. With her sight full of the kneeling man at her feet, she showed an unhidden scorn.

Unconsciously his grip grew stronger on Dahlia’s leg. Then she flinched and bent forward towards Jurgen. She still hadn’t erased a feeling similar to contempt in her eyes.

“What are you up to? Sir Edeled.”

It was a voice sweet as poison.

Smiling, Jurgen let her legs go, then got up on his knees. Following the dark red eyes that became cold in an instant, Dahlia’s held his stare.

The mask of the noble Jurgen Axel Edelred had cracked. The man’s eyes looked down obliquely and then grew long in a smile as he swept back his flowing bangs.

“Ah… . Did I get caught?” <<less

Liv Hamelsvoort, who bears the label of the ‘Fake Saintess’ and is the laughingstock of high society for her unrequited love for Duke Lartman. No one could understand her, but she likewise couldn’t understand them.... more>>

“I’m in the middle of enduring the love of the gods.”

There was a world that ordinary humans couldn’t dare to comprehend.

“Who harmed my child?”

“Does my child not exist in this world?”

“I don’t need a world where the child I love doesn’t exist.”

The moment the enormous things she had been bearing were revealed, Liv’s life finally began to change.

“I will love you in any timeline, Your Grace.”

Liv was content as long as she could continue loving. But if she wanted to protect that love, she had to change; the world was whispering that to her. <<less

"Don't cry, Leah. I will definitely come back alive."... more>>

Caius Enoch Hercesia.

He was Leah's longtime lover and saviour.

The man protected Leah with unconditional kindness, who was a hostage of the Kingdom and hated by the people of the Empire.

"When I come back, let's get married."

The reason she was able to wait for him to leave the long war was because of the sincere promise he had left behind.

However, he returned after a three-year-long war...

"I am engaged to this woman, you mean?"

A dry voice she had never heard before. Eyes that are cold to the point of being cold.

The Caius in front of her was not the sweet lover Leah remembered.

"I don't know what kind of crazy situation this is."

He was a strange man who completely forgot the time they loved, the promises they made, and the woman named Leah. <<less

When I opened my eyes, I was inside a novel.... more>>

[The Birth of a Hero].

[The Birth of a Hero] was a novel focused on the adventures of the main character, Choi Han, a high school boy who was transported to a different dimension from Earth, along with the birth of the numerous heroes of the continent.

I became a part of that novel as the tr*sh of the Count’s family, the family that oversaw the territory where the first village that Choi Han visits is located.

The problem is that Choi Han becomes twisted after that village, and everyone in it, is destroyed by assassins.

The bigger problem is the fact that this s*upid tr*sh who I’ve become doesn’t know about what happened in the village and messes with Choi Han, only to get beaten to a pulp.

“…This is going to be a headache.”

I feel like something serious has happened to me.

But it was worth trying to make this my new life. <<less
