Melissa, an omega and an illegitimate child of the Rosewood County.
Her only family and the only one who was ever on her side—her mother—had passed away.

“…This is not the Count’s funeral hall.”
“I couldn’t be certain because your pheromones were too light, but it’s true. You’re an omega.”

At that point in her life, Melissa was about to become the wife of an old marquis. It was a sacrifice she had to make for the sake of her family.
However, Ian appeared in front of her and gave one final choice that she could make.

“The contract’s main stipulation is very simple. Give birth to an alpha who will become the household’s successor.”

The contract marriage that began as such was like a sweet, sweet melody.

It was about three years of their marriage. One day, when she was tired of her husband, who was constantly cheating on her, her husband told her to bring in a lover.

As he said, she visited the most famous gigolo in the back alley to get him as her lover.

“So, are you going to accept it?

“Yes. Gladly.”

Once removed from his mask, the gigolo has a familiar face.

Why is the Grand Duke here?

* * *

“So, have you thought about it carefully?”

“Yes. As expected, I think it’s right for us to divorce.”

“Even so, it’s only last for a moment. Just wait a moment. I will come and get you back.”

“There’s no need for that.”

“Huh?”

At that moment, the door opened.

“Lady Luize, I came to pick you up.”

Edward whispered in Luize’s ear and looked at Reiad. The moment the two people’s eyes met, Edward curled up the corner of his mouth.

“Take care, Reiad.” <<less

"Sell yourself to me, Princess. I will buy you for a very high price."... more>>

Sell herself?

Adeline's lips quivered. She couldn’t overlook such insulting words.

"How impudent! Is buying and selling people a norm in this kingdom?"
"Pardon me for being impolite.. When the Duke of Rocher has already put the Princess up for sale, it sounds naive coming from you."

Adeline, a noble Princess descended from two royal bloodlines, and Alexio, a half noble Duke with a commoner mother —a match that seemed impossible.

The whole nation is excited about the marriage of the century that has shaken the kingdom. But little do they know.
That their marriage was riddled with secret deals and contracts.

"I'll give you plenty of time to think about it. It's only natural to go through various verification processes for such a significant transaction..."
"I'll do it."
"...Yes?"
"I agree. To this marriage."

Why did two people who seemed totally mismatched end up joining forces? The real reason behind their marriage, kept under wraps, remained a mystery to everyone. <<less

I now have a personal relationship with the Duke, who is experiencing financial difficulties…

”Let’s enter into a contract marriage. I’ll let you borrow the funds from the company. If you want, I can even be a shield for the Duke and your son as a mere duchess in name only. In return, the Duke just needs to be my shield. How about it? Will you do it?”

All the information from the original work has already been used, all the talented people have been put back to their places, and all the romance subjects, including the male lead, have been possessed by the female lead’s completed novel that can’t do anything more.... more>>

One day, in order to save her life, she recklessly clung to the Grand Duke of Valencia, the sub male lord, and lived as a vassal.

‘It would be better to be reborn in the world of a novel.’... more>>

Was it wrong to make such a crazy wish when I was exhausted from overwork? I was truly reborn through the fantasy novel , which I had read before. An ordinary lady with a wonderful older sister, a cute younger brother, and a kind childhood friend wants only one thing.

If possible, I just wanted to see my favorite character in real life at least once.

“Marry me, Lady Devlanc.”

A duel between the crazy villain who has tormented the main character for over a thousand episodes. No, I sent a marriage application.

“If you don’t like it, push it away. “It’s okay if you kick me.” “Other than eating, there are other things I want to eat.”

The sight of my favorite character, who has become so infatuated with me, feels so unfamiliar to me.

“Didn’t you say you like me?”

I like him, I really like him, but I didn’t want to meet him like this. The turbulent newlywed life of Lady Freesia, who unexpectedly falls for the world. <<less

“Look here, my lady. I am a hundred times more handsome than the Crown Prince.”

“If you want, I can get you a more skilled assassin.”
I stopped trying to assassinate my brother!

“If you wish to become the ruling empress, you’ll have to make me the Emperor, my lady…”
“Don’t talk nonsense!”

I have no intention of committing treason!

“Of course, with me around, you cannot become the emperor. If I give up my right to the throne-”
“Of course, Dad. That’s how it should be.”
Now, even my son! This is crazy!

“Fine, let’s get married.”

But only for a year.

And so began the trial version of my life as the Duke’s wife.

Omega: Ok

Alpha: Want to kiss

"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

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

Three years ago, a grievous news came from the distant stars, Crown Prince Ryann died so heroically on the frontier that even his remains couldn’t be found and returned home. ... more>>

The Empire has lost its handsome and dazzling prince, as well as one of the strongest new crystal human beings in this century.

It was said that the prince left a poor widow behind.　　

… At the funeral, the young widow had black hair and white skin. He lowered his head in silence as he held the coffin.

The royal family and high-level officials of the empire couldn’t help frowning greatly: The person who made His Highness fall in love during his lifetime was actually such a vulgar creature.

******

Jiang Jianming worked like a salted fish in the imperial military academy for three years, and he was unremarkable to the extreme.

In the graduation season, he calmly rolled up his baggage and stepped into the cruel distant star battlefield to collect the body of His Highness.

Everyone knows that disabled humans are weak, and they have no fighting ability at all. How many people either sneered or regretted, just waiting to wrap the corpse of this young man who had exceeded himself?

Until later, the pale young man scoured the scorched earth covered in blood, and when he raised his hand, the sound of gunfire broke through the long night. The Milky Way was reflected in the bottom of Jianming’s eyes, and the blade of the mecha was bathed in crystal and starlight.

Behind him, countless new human beings were convinced by this ‘proud son of heaven’, and they all called him “commander” in unison.

The alien creatures were frightened and trembling;
The rich and glorious dominion star-lord treat him as a guest;
The mu*derous space pirate love and hate him…

Jiang Jianming smiled slightly: “Don’t be so exaggerated, I’m just a weak and sickly disabled human being.”
Imperial people: “?”

So when the monarch came back from hell to the world, facing the legendary story that his lover had turned the distant star upside down for him, the monarch raised his eyebrows coldly: “Nonsense. The commander is just a weak and sickly disabled human being… Tell me, who encouraged him into a mecha today?”
Imperial people: “???”
　　
　—Please light the withered years, go through the remnants of the old civilization and the cold stars, and wake up in my arms before the dawn of mankind. <<less

A sudden divorce notification in what he thought was a smooth marriage.

"I haven't really thought about marriage before. It's too hasty."
"You didn't even give me a chance, are you refusing right away?"
"I'm a bit cold-hearted."
"I like that about you, being cold-hearted."

Eden Bertenon, the Grand Duke, a name only mentioned in the game, had asked me to marry him.
A man who proposes to a woman he's never met before without so much as a glance.
Although I couldn't understand his intentions or reasons, he might be a clue to a hidden ending.

"Okay. We can be a married couple who can divorce anytime under an agreement."

It was a contract marriage where we promised divorce at the same time as the proposal.
I got a rational husband.
I thought all that was left was to raise the heroine safely to see the ending...

"You like clean things. You don't like holding hands or anything ambiguous, why are you doing this?"

He didn't answer immediately. The silence continued, and the lantern flickered dimly. Was it because of that? Suddenly, I felt like flames were jumping in his eyes. Eden, who had been staring at her eyes for a long time, said in a low voice.

"I know. I wonder why I’m like this."
"......"
"I usually think this kind of talk is a pathetic excuse or a poor attempt, but..."

He suddenly twisted his lips and laughed.

"I'm doing this right now. Like a fool." <<less

Jian Hang didn’t open the door and said in a disinterested tone: “If you have anything to say, just say it.”

Qin Moling: “The hot search you’re concerned about was the 22nd earlier, but now it has been promoted to the 2nd and tagged as ‘explosive’.”
