“Even if it’s my child, I can still not love them.”... more>>

The day she terminated the 5-year-long contracted marriage and filled out the divorce papers, Hilia left Caligo without a second thought.

Leaving the byproduct of the contracted marriage, their child, with him.

Hilia Halos was a woman who was colder, more selfish, and more wicked than anyone else.

[Here’s the alimony. Since I don’t need this anymore, I’ll hand it over to you.]

That was what he thought, until he ceded the baronial estate that she so coveted and disappeared.

***

Hilia was sure she would be indifferent. About leaving the child, and about abandoning the man who brought her excitement.

“Mother, you don’t, hab to, lub, Riche. Riche gonna, only come, sometime. Riche will, lub you more……”

She was actually indifferent.

She would have been in the future, as well.

If only the dirt-covered child didn’t just appear out of nowhere after four years and told her such a thing.

“So……!”

Tears dripped down the child’s cheeks.

Hilia backed away from the child, who was running towards her with arms wide open.

She could not be a good parent, nor could she love anyone.

“My baby, there are things in the world you just can’t love.”

So, after leaving that single comment, she turned away.

Pretending not to notice the unfaltering gaze in front of her. <<less

Under the guidance of her obstinate father, Seizel had been living as ’the most perfect lady in the world’ until her demise as an unexpected mu*derer.

That very day when her miserable ten-year-long imprisonment was about to end with her beheading, her second life commenced.

I’m just not gonna give a f*ck!

I’ll screw them over before they screw me over!

I’ll chew them up and spit them out before they can leech off me!

No more Ms. Nice Girl. Now, Seizel decided to live however she wants!

While she was at it, she planned to become the greatest con artist who swindles the empire itself, and picked up some former cellmates to get the second act of her life going…

Why does it seem like the world’s gonna end when I’ve just made up my mind!

“……Open your eyes, you fine lad. I need to get my money’s worth.”

For a world that’s easier to exploit!

As a final, bite-the-bullet act of charity, she took in and patched up ’The Empire’s Last Guardian’ Duke Leviaus, saving him from the brink of death. Now, all he has to do is bring glory to the empire……

Wow. What kind of a sucker is this?

“About who saved me, I cannot remember anything.”

The person who saved him is me, yet I’m about to be done dirty by randos, hell no.

Thus, unintentionally gaining the title of duchess, Seizel kickstarts her ’getting her money’s worth’ project.

“As long as you pay the promised fees on time, I will act as the perfect duchess for a year.”

“That would not be necessary. Everything in this house belongs to Your Ladyship anyway.”

But this man was a sucker of another level that was never before seen or heard. Courteous, pushy, clingy.

“W-what are you doing here, Your Grace?”

“It’s our first night together, my lady.”

…and lecherous. <<less

Ji Xiao Zhenren wielded his divine power, splitting mountains and parting seas, penetrating the heavens and the earth, known as the 'First Sword of Han Shan'.... more>>

Fellow cultivators respected him, disciples admired him, and demon cultivators feared him. If it weren't for his ignorant, incompetent, and inconsiderate Dao companion, he would have been almost perfect.

Meng Xueli's talent in cultivation was mediocre; he lacked a refined and ethereal demeanor and had never cultivated seductive skills. He was merely an ordinary beauty. The cultivation world was not short of beauty; being ordinary was almost synonymous with being tacky.

Ji Xiao unexpectedly took a liking to such a tacky Meng Xueli, revealing that cultivation does not necessarily elevate one from having bad tastes. His aesthetic judgment was indeed questionable.

It wasn't until the untimely demise of Ji Xiao Zhenren that Meng Xueli, at a young age, found himself widowed.

With the upheaval in the sect and enemies knocking at the door, chaos ensued. Eventually, with the collapse of the tree, the monkeys scattered, and the collapse of the wall, everyone pushed... pushed, but they couldn't move?! <<less

I had a surprise wedding with this man, Eric Orleans, who was originally supposed to be my brother, after I ran away at night. Originally, it was my mother and Eric Orleans’s father who should have been here now.

‘If you get caught, you’ll die.’

My mother, who saw me getting married at her wedding hall, said so with her mouth.

Sorry, mom, but this is all for my family.

My family can’t be exterminated by a psycho stepdad, right?

Click click click!

The flashes went off.

Won’t the title of the newspaper articles that will be published tomorrow probably be like this?

“Did you go to training?”

“Yeah, how have you been? I like you.”

“What are you talking about…?”

“I thought I was thinking inside, but it came out in words.”

“What flower is it?””

“I brought it for you. Do you like flowers?”

“Ah… No… If you eat the wrong flower, you will die… There was a time when I was hungry and I ate a flower and passed out…”

“This isn’t food, it’s for ornamental purposes.”

“Why are you looking…”

“Because you look good? Just as I feel happy when I see you.”

Qin Shi saved a child and died. The system gave her three rebirth choices.... more>>

1. Transmigrate to the '60s to be another family’s daughter-in-law.
2. Transmigrate to the '70s to be an educated youth in the countryside.
3. Transmigrate to the '80s to be a “stepmother” of three babies.

Qin Shi decisively chose 3. She really can not bear the hardships of the '60s and '70s.

At the blind date, Lu Zetian looked serious: “If you don’t want to, I don’t want to drag you down.”

Qin Shi: “I understand.”

Before Lu Zetian could relax his expression, he heard the other party speak again.

“You need someone to take care of the children. I need you to take me out of here. We can get married by agreement.”

“My task is to seriously support and educate the three children to grow up, take care of your food, drink and life, and play the loving husband and wife outside when necessary.”

“And you only need to pay for all the expenses of the family and my salary. Of course, I will give you the account book to ensure that the account is clear and not fake.”

Lu Zetian: “…?”

The three children of the Lu family heard that if they were going to have a stepmother they would not have enough food and clothing, or even be abused.

They made up their minds to show their stepmother that they were not easy to bully.

As a result, the stepmother saluted them seriously as soon as she entered the door, and then gave courtesy in front of them.

“Hello, my name is Qin Shi. I will take care of your daily life in the future. I swear to the chairman that I will treat you fairly, justly and openly. I hope you can cooperate with me and we will live well together.”

She was the Diamond of the Empire, and the Beau Monde’s China doll.... more>>

‘Dolores Rochester’ believed she’d everything in life. Perfect looks, men who’d do anything to catch her eye, and a loving crown prince husband.

“Dolly…you dared to marry me knowing you were barren?”

But her perfect life was instantly ruined by just one flaw. Her loving husband took the child he bore with her cousin as his heir, and her family left her to suffer.

It was only after miraculously regressing to the time before her marriage did she realise. One mistake was enough. She didn’t need any more futile love.

‘All that remains is a calm and perfect revenge.’

And so, this time, Dolores chose her husband’s half brother. The beast of the empire, ‘Grand Duke Lesrexion Lancaster.’ With their marriage of convenience, the two of them would obtain everything they desired.

However.

“Oh, I’d like to add one more condition to the contract, Your Highness.”

“What more could there be?”

“Don’t fall in love with me.”

“Seems like this China doll has big dreams, Dolly.”

This contract marriage wasn’t going to be easy.
