I was reincarnated into a high-intensity, dark romance novel. As the younger sister of the male protagonist who gets kidnapped and killed by the villain's family. At first glance, it seemed like a hopeless situation, but...... more>>

"This is totally my style!"

I've always been a hardcore enthusiast with a taste for the intense. Far from being scared, I find the atmosphere here completely to my liking! So I tried to quietly enjoy this life, but...

"I'll never do anything Lize doesn't like. So you have to keep liking me from now on."

Somehow, it seems I've been thoroughly misunderstood from day one.

"Don't show any vicious things in front of Lady Lize! She's delicate and faint-hearted, I tell you!"

"We were told to protect Lady Alleheim in this brutal place. She's said to be as fragile as an angel."

I've heard of being called a corrupted, lustful demon before... but a fragile angel? Me? I just wanted to see the villain suffer, how did it end up like this? <<less

Six years ago, a s*ave who had disappeared suddenly returned—as a duke. And not just any duke, but the commander of the White Lion Knights, trusted implicitly by the king himself.... more>>

“Excuse me, Your Grace!”

Overjoyed to see the grown-up version of the man she thought long dead, she ran to him without hesitation...

“I think you’ve got the wrong person.”

“Is my face really so common? That you could mistake me for someone else so easily?”

She had saved his life, even given him a name with her own hands—and this is how he treats her?

Well then, there’s no helping it.

Kyla Bailey, notorious troublemaker of high society, decided she’d make him pay by seizing his weakness.

With a proposal.

“Will you marry me?”

***

But the man, full of secrets, kept avoiding her again and again.

Just when she began to wonder if it was time to give up... his attitude suddenly changed.

“Kyla Bailey.”

The once-cold eyes were now tinged with tenderness, and the fingers that reached for her were laced with longing.

But that wasn’t all…

Eyes glazed with desire.

The strange look in his slightly unhinged gaze gave her chills. His eyes, barely masking savagery beneath a façade of affection, seemed to whisper that he would be the one to do something wrong next.

“You said it yourself. You can’t take revenge if you get an apology.”

A low voice whispered near her ear, sending a tickling shiver down her neck. Kyla twisted her shoulders in discomfort.

“Why… are you doing this?”

She broke free of his arms and slowly stepped back—only to bump into a tall tree behind her. He approached with unhurried steps.

“Just like you did things your way, I’ll do things my way.”

Then, with practiced ease, his hand gently stroked her shoulder.

If this was the price of her impulsive confession and reckless kiss, then this was an obsession more intense than everything she had done combined. <<less

One day, while living as a money-grubbing, unscrupulous lawyer, I found myself transmigrated as Elena Christie, a penniless extra in a fantasy romance novel.... more>>

“Let’s see, who has the biggest bounty on their head?”

To escape a poverty hell more terrifying than the inferno itself, I decided to defend Benedict Richard, the story’s ultimate villain, a duke on the verge of execution for mu*der. My reward for success? Half of his confiscated fortune.

“Is there any evidence here, in this courtroom, that the defendant committed this mu*der?”

I thought I’d torn the courtroom apart with my flawless arguments…. What? They’ll only return his assets if I catch the real culprit? Fine. I’ll catch the real culprit. I’ll get the money. And so, I ran myself ragged chasing the true mu*derer, even going so far as to fix the Duke’s finances, which were on the brink of collapse after his assets were seized. I even managed his public image, tarnished by the mu*derer label, thinking it might help secure his acquittal. I was utterly swamped, all to protect my future payday.

“We have a contract, nothing more. Don't expect anything else.”

The Duke delivered the unnecessary, and rather dramatic, pronouncement that there would be no special incentives beyond the agreed-upon fee. I shook my head at his surprising stinginess, so unlike his imposing figure.

* * *

“Ha….”

Benedict Richard sighed, a sound heavy with anguish. This was a serious predicament. He pressed a hand to his forehead, his face etched with worry, and muttered, “I think Elena Christie likes me.”

Something decidedly unusual was happening. He was certain of it. <<less

“Live like a ghost. Don’t do anything weird.”... more>>

I possessed a supporting character who lived as a villainess, divorced the male lead, and died.

When I possessed her, her sin had already piled up like a mountain, and she didn’t want to meet a death ending, so I lived live like a ghost, as the male said, and waited for my opportunity to leave.

She treated her younger brother-in-law who had a limited lifespan with her meager stamina, and she sold her belongings to save money for the future.

when her younger brother-in-law’s illness was completely cured, she was about to leave… … .

“Let’s get divorced now.

But since I saved Theo, you’ll at least give me a mansion to live in, right?”

“What do you mean?”

“… … If that’s too hard, a small house is fine.”

“Divorce? Why are we getting divorced?”

Because it was time to give up her place to the female lead?

“Divorce doesn’t exist in my dictionary.”

It wasn’t just the male lead who became strange.

Even her brother-in-law and the mansion staff, who should hate and detest me, clung to me.

“Where are you going, Sister-in-law!

“If my sister-in-law disappears, I will die without even eating!”

“If the lady is not here, this mansion will become a mess. Don’t leave, my lady!”

Is this the destruction of the original?

It can’t be helped. That’s what happened… … . <<less

"Let's get divorced."... more>>

My husband frowned at my sudden announcement.

"Don't speak nonsense, Louella. You're not a child anymore."

I'm asking for a divorce because I'm not a child.

Never once had we made love in the eight years we were married.

So I concluded . . .

My husband was either a eunuch or gay.

***

On the day I notified my husband of my intentions to divorce, I returned to my eight-year-old self.

I decided to remain friends with my enemy-like ex-husband.

Somehow, I want to erase the dissatisfaction caused by my ex-husband. I wanted to choose another man and experience the passionate love I have been craving for.

So this time, I will pick the right man to fill my emptiness.

"Gerald. I'm going on a date."

"What?"

"I think Carlo of the Dvore family is good. He's tall, handsome, and nice."

"You're saying weird things."

"What?"

"Louella, if you're trying to make me jealous, you should stop."

What on earth are you talking about? I'm being serious.

"If you truly are serious about it, then I'll get angry."

Can this crazy man read minds? What's wrong with him? <<less

"How dare someone like you confess love to me?"... more>>

The arrogant male protagonist who spoke those words was later stabbed to death by a supporting character who had unrequited feelings for him.

This was the tragic romance novel The Duke’s Secret Seduction.

And now, Evelyn has found herself reincarnated as its villainous supporting character—fated to become a mu*derer. Determined to escape her doomed fate, she sets her sights on a peaceful second life…

"That’s it! I’ll reform the ill-tempered male protagonist, set him up with the heroine, and safely step away from the story."

Fortunately, Evelyn meets the male protagonist when he is just eight years old.

Rashid Egenhart, heir to the empire’s most powerful ducal family. A descendant of dragons, he is as breathtakingly beautiful as he is insufferably arrogant.

"Be a little nicer to me!"

The brat who shamelessly demands affection grows into a man renowned as the Jewel of the Empire—a dangerously handsome adult exuding raw masculinity.

Now, Evelyn is simply waiting for the novel’s heroine to appear, fall in love with Rashid, and let her exit the story unscathed.

But…

"Am I imagining it, or have you been treating me coldly lately?"

"Call me Rashid, not ‘Your Grace.’ We’re childhood friends, aren’t we?"

"I will never allow you to marry another man."

Unexpectedly, the male protagonist, Duke Rashid Egenhart, begins to obsess over Evelyn.

"Didn’t I tell you? I intend to seduce you—with both my face and my body."

And he’s being very, very obvious about it. <<less

I reincarnated as Rowaine, the villainess who was fated to be executed for the sin of mistreating a shapeshifter. To escape death, I decided to replace my sister, Renee, in her arranged marriage.... more>>

The problem was that the person I was to be wed to, the notoriously cold-blooded Duke Blois, was a cat person.

“Darling, I heard that abusing shapeshifters like me is a hobby of yours.”
“From what I understand, there was no such condition that a woman who mistreats shapeshifters could never be the Duke’s marriage partner.”

His emerald eyes flashed dangerously. I quickly added before he could say anything else.

“If my hobby will pose a problem, then I promise that I will never play with the Duke.”

“Ha?”

This is the story of a 10-year contract marriage between a cat butler and a feisty cat shapeshifter. <<less

Four months into marriage. My husband’s frequent outings became suspicious. ... more>>

He leaves at dawn every morning and returns late at night, which raises questions. However, there was nothing strange. He just works hard and comes home.

We were supposed to stay out of each other’s personal lives since it was a contract marriage anyway…….

Why do I sometimes feel discomfited around him?

“The emperor is still not married.”

“That’s a big deal.”

“I hope he can quickly abandon [the engagement] and marry someone else…….”

My husband Dale is an honorable mercenary well aware of my situation. I hired him on a 364-day marriage contract to try and break off her marriage to the Emperor.

Dale is unlike the Emperor, being pure, innocent, and affectionate.

One day, when I thought “You should marry a man like this.”

A problem arose.

***

Eventually, the day came when I had to return to my noble family.

However, I decided to return to Dale and request that he remain faithful to me.

“You can’t just open the door for someone you don’t know because I’m not there.”

“Yes.”

“Even if you’re close, don’t lend money carelessly.”

“I’ll definitely remember.”

“Don’t even cry because you miss me.”

Ah…… don’t want to part with Dale.

But I have no choice but to go to the Duke’s, and I’m barely able to keep from falling.

“Your Majesty, the magic circle for the portal is complete.”

“Let’s go.”

She was completely unaware of what was going on in the background. <<less

Grace, the head of the Ellesia Count family, possessed a mysterious ability to turn back time and was known as both a saint and a demon.... more>>

Though she saved countless lives across the world, she could not cure her own illness.

As she was on the verge of death due to an incurable disease, there was just one final concern she had.

She worried that Kai might lash out at her disciples for staying silent about her death.

“If Kai comes… take the kids and run.”

With a bang, the door was ripped off its hinges, and the Duke of Persia entered belatedly. But—

‘I’m tired, I just want to rest now.’

Thus, Grace Ellesia, who had healed countless people and achieved great feats, closed her eyes for the last time.

*

This is the place where I’m going to live from now on?

The place where she opened her eyes again after leaving the world at a young age was—

“So, this is what they call the room of a neglected daughter?”

“What nonsense! The family just went bankrupt, that’s all.”

In the blink of an eye, Grace… no, Ceres, had become the eldest daughter of a ruined family. Moreover…

‘Three hundred years have passed since I died?’

Wow, this is insane.

‘Well, whatever….’

Three hundred years or not, that’s all fine. But right now—

“Shouldn’t I deal with these debt papers first?”

The only source of money in this cursed, ruined family was a stew shop.

The place that sold mercenaries’ soul food, ‘Where Your Feet Rest.’

But the soup recipe felt strangely familiar.

…Wasn’t I the original creator of this?

“That’s my dish!”

“First come, first served!”

“Get lost!”

…This is an absolute mess, a complete disaster.

First of all, I need to clean this up.

But, by the way…

“Excuse me. Have you seen my Bluey anywhere?”

“Could you please make sure the Duke can at least eat properly?”

…Why do all these weird people keep showing up?

Can’t I just live quietly for once? <<less

I had been living thinking it was reincarnation, but it turns out it was possession?... more>>

And in a virtual reality simulation game to boot?

The cyber daughter, 'Estelle,' that I raised in my past life suddenly appeared in front of me.

”Don't worry about me, Ms. Morris. I can manage on my own. I don't need any help.”

She looked exactly the same, but her personality was very different from what I remembered. But what was done was done. She was still my daughter, no matter her age. I had to raise her properly.

"Fine. If not me, then who? In that case, I'll raise her to be an empress!'"

Even if she’s cold now, she’ll eventually open up to me, right?

All I need to do is push a little more.

Just like the target characters in a game, if I try hard enough, I’ll get the ending I want, one full of longing, hope, and prayers.

That’s what I thought and worked hard.

But then...

“I thought we'd meet again soon,” said the Cardinal.

”Meeting you that day was the greatest fortune of my life,” said the Knight Commander.

”You already know what kind of existence I am, didn't you?” said the Demon.

”I'll take care of everything you dislike.” said the Dragon.

Why are all the men I need to sweet-talk to win over my daughter trying to sweet-talk me instead?

"Please don't approach Reina carelessly. Reina should only pay attention to me," said my daughter.

And why is my daughter acting like this toward me?

Don’t laugh.

The obsession of the target characters, and the obsession of my precious daughter, who isn’t even related by blood.

You could be in the same situation too! <<less

The man who was going to marry me said, “After you give birth to a successor, you can have a government.”... more>>

He was the unfortunate crown prince who was killed by my husband in my previous life. And now, he is preparing to destroy him with me.

My husband in my previous life had an affair with his friend and brutally mu*dered me, but my deep resentment caused me to turn back my life and return to before I married him.

This life will move meticulously to take revenge on my husband and friend who killed me and change the future.

My adoptive parents’ secret was also hidden behind my death.

As I reveal those facts one by one, I will find out why my parents died and how my adoptive parents became my adoptive parents, and I will resolve my parents’ resentment.

Having made a marriage contract with the crown prince who was killed by my husband in the past, I will now catch two birds with one stone: revenge on my husband in my previous life and uncover the secrets of my adoptive parents. <<less

A carriage accident happened to Eilisa, who had endured hellish marriage.... more>>

I promised myself that I would never face my ex-husband if I were born again. But I have to go back for my child, Julia!

[I’ll let you. You can marry him.]

The marriage that the body master who wanders as a ghost allows. However, when she offered to marry her ex-husband with a new body, she was immediately rejected.

***

“You didn’t really love her. Why are you so stubborn?”

“Who’s making such a fuss? Of course, I love my wife.”

I didn’t know my icy ex would say that. Are you crazy? <<less

“I want you to remain ignorant of everything.”... more>>

These were the Emperor’s words as he ascended the throne, spoken while gazing at his wife, the newly crowned Empress, Lobelia. He asked her to stay by his side, naïve and unaware. In that moment, the Empress resolved one thing—never to trust her husband again.

***

“You have to trust me, Lobelia.”

“Why are you doing this to me? Why do you keep deceiving me?”

“To protect you! To keep you alive… so I can remain by your side…”

A husband who hides the truth in order to stay close to her.

“Mother, Father always had eyes only for you. So please… don’t leave us.”

A young son pleading for her not to abandon them like before.

“Lobelia—forget that ordinary name. No matter what becomes of this empire, I’ll take you where you truly belong.”

Her former husband, Paris, who returned alive from the desert just to see her again.

“Congratulations, Your Majesty the Empress. You are… with child.”

And now, a child growing within her.

Lobelia had vowed never to trust her husband again.

But that conviction is starting to falter—over and over again. <<less

I was possessed in the novel 『Savior of a terminally ill prince』, which contains my favorite character.... more>>

I just lived hard to pay off the debt I had left behind and survive with my favorite Character.

“Do as I tell you.”

“Well, what do you want?”

My heart was racing when Alexander kissed me and exhaled.

His sexy decadence was truly the perfect ending to an epic story.

Alexander tilted his head and whispered, “Open your lips.”

Wow, this is insane…

My favorite character has fallen in love with me.

I totally approve of this. <<less

Tenor Schwarnen.... more>>

He was the dog of the Duchy of Schwarnen. The loyal watchdog of the Duke of Schwarnen. Nothing more, nothing less.

The one who received the respect and admiration of the people was always his elder brother—Tenor was merely the obedient servant of the ruling duke.

Then, the Duke’s order came down to him.

‘On my behalf, I want you to marry Regina, the sole candidate for the throne from the five royal houses of Latouanne.’

A loveless marriage.

Tenor simply followed his brother’s command and took Regina as his wife.

“Let’s talk for a bit today. Tenor.”

“I am busy. The cartel is always busy. Even more so at night.”

“Then when will we ever…?”

“If you’re so insistent, can’t you simply wait for me until I return?”

A marriage as cold as the winter wind.

Ah… this wasn’t what Regina had hoped for.

She had dreamed of a happy marriage—how foolish she’d been. The marriage to Schwanen was born of her own selfish desire—her pure, selfish desire to become his wife simply because she liked him so much.

But as she stared into Tenor’s cold, scornful eyes, Regina began to wither.

So, she decided to turn back time using the hidden power of the House of Flona.

With the flower language of : a new beginning.

If she ever went back in time, she swore she’d never marry into the Schwarnen family.

Or so she thought.

“… Why are you just staring blankly?”

“Pardon?”

“I’ll leave and sleep elsewhere.”

No way!

Of all the nights, I’ve returned to our wedding night! <<less

“You are going to raise that child.”... more>>

The baby's wailing rang out loudly as my father looked down on me coldly. My mother, who sat next to the corpse of my dead younger sister, was clinging tightly onto her body.

In front of my younger sister's withering corpse, I held onto her only daughter as I got kicked out of the house.

The only person I could go to was Maynus, my forgotten fiancé.

“… Is this your child?”

“No!”

The look on his face told me that he didn't believe me.
But at least he didn't kick me out?

Goodness, what do I do now?

***

I simply wanted to pay him back for his generosity as much as I could and then leave soon after.

“I'm going to leave now.”

“Where are you going?”

Huh? Why is he asking?

“I need to adjust my schedule in advance. I also need to pack our bags. Delerone must have a lot of luggage as well.”

This is weird…

“Huh… Are you coming with me?”

Maynus' face twisted into a frown, “Were you planning on leaving me here by myself?”

Am I the only one who doesn't understand what in the world is going on…? <<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.

“You should marry me, Sally.”

Eight years passed by.

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

After collapsing from overwork, I opened my eyes and stood up, finding myself in an unfamiliar body.... more>>

As an ab*sed and belittled extra with a limited lifespan.

I had no intention of accepting the fate of dying from cardiac arrest without a fight.

“Because if I continue like this, l’ll have a short life. As you can see, I have nothing and l’m too busy trying to survive. I plan to extend my life with my white magic. Oh, and while l’m at it, l’II get some revenge too.”

I intercepted the power that the villain was going to take and gained immense strength.

“Lord Conrad, I presume? I’m the boss of the Eileen Merchant Guild.”

I created a merchantry and accumulated wealth.

“What I want is not the love of the crown prince, It’s the position of the crown prince’s consort.”

I obtained the position of the crown prince’s consort.

Now. He just needs to seduce the adorable female lead princess and live happily ever after!

But…

“Who dared to touch my daughter-in-law?”

“Sister Adele, you can rest. I will take care of the dirty mess.”

“My lady, what are you talking about? Have I been inadequate? I will strive to satisfy you.”

I never intended to get involved with all of you, so why do you like me? <<less

I, the wife of the emperor, who used my family to ascend to the throne to become the emperor, was falsely accused of treason. Even my trusted friend who used to call me ‘sister’, betrayed me. My trusted friend stole everything from me and even seduced my husband, who never loved me.... more>>

And my life ended on a guillotine. So, I begged over and over again to have a chance to kill them with my own hands. Hence, I thought I was dead but upon opening my eyes, I found myself at the engagement ceremony with the Crown Prince, my former husband. For reasons I don’t know, I had returned to the past.

I was determined to change the fate I had experienced once, so I had the resolve to bring down the imperial family in order to protect my family.

However, just as I vowed to never love someone and instead dedicate myself to revenge, a man appeared before me – someone I never met in my past, at that. <<less

After a car accident, I woke up inside a novel. In the story, I became the saintess who was supposed to die instead of the main female character.... more>>

“But no way! I’m not going to sacrifice myself. I’ll live happily on my own!”

The problem was… this world was a dark and adult-rated one.

“Saintess! Hurry up and cry! That will make the believers give more offerings!”

The priests in the temple forced a child like me to act like a saintess, even though I had no holy power. They treated me like a s*ave.

And the temple was already full of corruption and evil.

So one day, I prayed with all my heart:

“Please, anyone! Just come and beat up these awful people!”

Then someone answered my prayer.

“What a cute wish.”

It was a demon!

—

The great demon Lilith gave me a holy weapon—a pork cutlet hammer—and with it, I took over the temple.

Smack!

“Don’t ever come back here again! Get lost!”

I beat up the priests who were abusing children,

Then gave money to the poor kids and sent them home safely.

“Lilith, you’re the best!”

After that, I started changing the temple into a place for Lilith.

But then, strange people started sticking to me.

“I-I want to stay with Elly!”

Even the main girl I kicked out wouldn’t stop clinging to me.

“Elly, you are my god now.”

A male lead I saved also started following me around.

“Elly, come to me. I’m better than Lilith.”

Now, even another demon is chasing after me!

But seriously… I only want Lilith. That’s more than enough for me! <<less

Eleanor, the C-class guide, hated this world itself.... more>>

She was abandoned by a fiancé to whom she had devoted six years and must meet a tragic end in this cursed world.

“I’ll destroy everything you wanted.”

Eleanor knew what she wanted after recalling all of her previous life’s memories and the contents of the original story.

All she desired was the destruction of this empire.

“This world, destroyed.”

The destruction of the world.

She was determined to do it by herself. <<less

"I like you!"... more>>

I confessed to Rody, the woodcutter.

He's kind, gentle—and rich too!

"So, I was wondering… would you like to date me?"

I needed money to save my sister, so I confessed. But still, maybe it’s okay?

He likes me, I like him—everything should be fine.

“Hmm… but Miss Sella, you don’t even know my real name…”

...Huh? What’s he talking about?

“Rodiac Pastrique Günther. That’s my full name.”

“Rodiac Pastri… Wait… ‘Pastrique’? Oh no!”

Wait a second—Rody is actually that villain from the original story?!

No way! I worked so hard to avoid being killed by him!

And I just confessed… to the villain!

“What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly shaking like that?”

He asked, his red eyes glowing.

His red eyes, which once seemed sexy, now looked like blood.

“No, this... this isn’t right…”

“Not right? What do you mean?”

“Da-dating… I didn’t mean dating…”

“Not dating? Ohhh—I see. So, Miss Sella, you want to skip the dating and get straight to marriage?”

What the heck is he talking about?! Marriage?!

“I like that. I love the idea of marriage.”

With a bright, satisfied smile, the villain's smooth voice flowed from his lips. <<less

All I wanted was to survive, so why was this happening to me?... more>>

I’d become the villainous superior who harbored an inferiority complex toward the male lead and tormented him to the brink of death, only to meet a miserable end at his hands.

The only way to avoid this death flag was to refrain from causing trouble and stick to the knight order!

“From now on, I intend to exercise self-restraint and devote myself to the knight order’s duties.”

I’m a reformed villain. From now on, I’ll only do good deeds.

“My lady, you’ve truly changed!”

“Brother? Did you just call me brother instead of geezer?”

“This is… unbelievable.”

The people around me began to view me more favorably, and it seemed my lifespan was extending.

But the male lead’s attitude was strange?

“No matter how saintly she is, I can’t tolerate anyone insulting my superior.”

He destroyed his own flags with the heroine.

“I will make sure nothing harms the commander.”

He oddly seemed to prioritize me.

“I’m glad I made up my mind.”

He even said things that sounded like confessions?

I needed to distance myself from the male lead, but he kept getting closer.

Could I safely avoid the male lead’s wrath and live a peaceful, happy old age? <<less

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

I met the him in an orphanage and approached him in order to not die since he’ll become the villain in the future.... more>>

“Iris, you’ll never leave me, right?”
“You’re the only one who calls my name properly and thinks I’m a good person.”
“I’ll keep all the promises I made with you, so can you not leave me?”

I unintentionally rehabilitated the villain too well! All that remains now is our own futures that has nothing to do with the novel. I thought I was moving toward a happy ending with a well-tamed villain.

Was it all my misunderstanding?

“How could you shoot a arrow as soon as you see me, Iris?”
“Are you going to kill me?”
“I’ve endured ten years of harsh torture only thinking about you.”

The man I thought I had tamed came back to me after 10 years. With my efforts overshadowed, he also became a perfect villain. <<less
