"A year at most."... more>>

For the sake of revenge, I lived for over ten years wearing the mask of a villainess.

I've completed all preparations for my final step and ready to go into exile, but my time is running out!

'I can't die unjustly like this.'

There was only one way to cure myself. Consuming a small amount of a rare flower found in the imperial palace every day.

"Please propose to me, Your Highness."

"What will I gain by marrying the princess?"

"I will place everything in Cassian under Your Highness's control."

And so, I succeeded in a contract marriage with Crown Prince Julion, allowing me to cure my illness…

However, wait, why are there so many sick people in the palace?

As a physician and a pharmacist, I can't simply ignore the sick, so I decided to help a little.

Yes, I was certainly planning to help just a little.

"Princess Consort, tell me whatever you want."

"I dedicate this very body to protecting you, my Vizier!"

"I shall name you Princess Consort, the Light of the Empire."

... When I came to my senses, I had become the Light of the Empire.

Hold on a moment, I was supposed to cure my illness and then go into exile

* * * * *

Eventually, Julion found me.

His golden eyes shimmered like a candle in the breeze as he looked down at me.

"Did you mean to sacrifice everything, to live for others, and then... hide away where no one knows and face death alone?"

Clear drops of water welled up in Julion's eyes.

Too stunned to say anything, he whispered through his tears.

"Please stay alive, Rohiriel."

So, how many times do I have to tell you that I'm cured before you believe me......? <<less

I like sitting on the empty street during the night, listening to the hushed whispers of 'them,' savoring the clamor of 'their' noise.

“It’s just that if you want to go above the sky, you need a complete system of advanced technology, a whole set of related research institutes, the most advanced science laboratories, and a big government that can coordinate all sectors.” It would require tens of thousands of different auxiliary manufacturers to supply the best components, millions of high-level intellectuals to contribute their minds to this purpose, and countless numbers of wealthy people who dedicate their wealth until the end.” “In short, it would take an abundance of resources from the world and a great civilization to accomplish it.”

The person who locked me up here was my own protagonist.... more>>

I was trapped in a dating simulation game based on an R-rated BL novel I wrote.

The woman I set up as an NPC and overseer demanded a happy ending for the protagonist. If it was the only way out, it had to be done.

However, the world was established freely, away from my setting, and the protagonist began to approach me.

“I called you. So, please exist only for me.”

He said with the most beautiful face.

“This is crazy.”

Unfortunately, after realizing the truth, there was nothing I could do about it. A twisted course, a mind that flowed helplessly.

And the hesitant choice at the end of it.

What should I do now?

Male protagonist: Mikael. The main character of the original novel and game.

He found out that there was a being who created him. From then on, all his reasons started with one and ended with one.

So, he had to do anything to keep her by his side.

The only one he would obey.

Female protagonist: Celina. The original author of the dating simulation game.

She went inside Celina’s body and acted for the happy ending of the main character, Mikael.

She just had to connect the main character with that man, so she didn’t think much of it. She had designed this world, so she was sure it wouldn’t be a problem.

But those were haughty thoughts. <<less

She is the daughter of a billionaire businessman, the youngest daughter of the family. But she was framed by her own elder sister and sent to hell, getting a new chance at life.... more>>

Born again, her lips curved into an indifferent smile; her eyes opened, looking like the surging seas. With her own hands, she sent the head of her family to heaven. Everyone witnessed her massacre effortlessly having reincarnated into another body, until there was no trace of anything, like a masterstroke.

Turning around to raise her small face which makes people’s hearts move, she headed home to ‘affectionately chat’ with her widely renowned older sister!

Her elder brother is indifferent, heartless, sitting on the mountain and watching two tigers fight. Her father is vicious and merciless, shrewd to unseen depths.

In the centre of UAE is it’s golden city; in the middle of this city’s most arrogant wealthy aristocrats, is the small, gullible and pitiful her. Everyone thinks that when she goes home, it will be as if the sheep entering the lion’s mouth, but who would have thought that it would turn out to be the cat teasing the lion? What is called ‘to crushingly ruin’?

She let her motherland up and down learn the four characters well – jì jīng sì zuò! (Someone having astonishing skill.)

Stepping on blood, welcoming amazement from everywhere, in this oil-rich, powerful empire, she held the authority of the imperial power in the palm of her hand.

During the feast of the treaty of allied countries, she only considered it to be an amus**ent. But who would have thought she would provoke that high up above, brilliant yet reserved man?

On one spring evening when I was eight years old, I, Erica, Duke of Aurelia’s daughter, realized something.... more>>

Huh, I have reincarnated into a fantasy world, haven’t I?

Moreover, it was the romance-fantasy girl game that had the reputation of being bloody, 『Liber Monstrorum ~Phantom Beasts and the Winter Princess~』

The face reflected in the mirror was that of the villainess character of that game.

After repeatedly harassing many characters, including the heroine, she would die without exception, signaling the beginning of an event called the bizarre incident. She was a villain who deserved to get the consequences!

—I absolutely don’t want a destiny like that, though?

No, since I have remembered the memory of my previous life, I will make sure that kind of thing does not happen.

In my previous life, I was harassed immensely by an irrationally angry yandere man who thought I was in love with him.

My cause of death, too, was from being stabbed by another yandere man who I only had talked with a few times…

Now that I have become the haughty villainess Erica, I shouldn’t encounter more misunderstandings like with the previous life’s yandere men anymore, right…?

In that case, it will be fine as long as I deal with the death flags that I may have raised myself.

All right! First of all, before the bizarre incident begins at the Magic Academy, I will strike down the death flags accordingly!!

—Or so I thought, but it seems that I am about to die.

Eeh, how did this happen—!? <<less

Pope/Duke/Leader: Did we agree?

Here, the upper class was distinct from the lower class. The hierarchy was strict. Here, food was in short supply, medicine was backward, and city-state disputes continued.

There were rumors in the Western Continent that the Pope had the favor of God, the Grand Duke had more power than the king, and the leader of the chamber of commerce took over the wealth of the empire. However, Xia Zuoyi, in the name of Lord Rose, promoted the civilization and economic development of the whole Western Continent, unified city-states, and created a powerful industrial empire.

The process was difficult, but I succeeded.

10 years later, when the young emperor was enthroned, black clouds covered the sky and tribulation lightning rumbled.

I stood outside the throne room and distantly gave him one last look.

He didn’t know what was happening outside and smiled at me, his pitch-black eyes were filled with a thousand words.

Then, I turned around and ascended.

I didn’t even give him a proper goodbye.

When I opened my eyes, it wasn’t the Heavens.

I blankly lay on the carpet of the imperial study room, and the eunuch beside me was submissively introducing, “Your Majesty, this is the remarkable beauty Prince Jin is giving as a tribute.”

From above came a familiar yet cold voice, “Prince Jin has spared no effort. Pity, that what We hate the most in this life is other people looking like… that person.” <<less
