I had a precognitive dream that my sister would die soon after entering into an arranged marriage. To prevent this, Aracilla chose to marry Damian, the younger brother of her intended spouse. The problem was, both of them happened to be formidable rivals—one a magician and the other a knight.... more>>

"Last year, was Young Lady the mage who snatched the orb like a sneaky weasel during the expedition?" "If I hadn't helped, you would have been rotting in a dungeon by now, don't you think so?"

The individuals who were moments away from throttling each other, dramatically agreed to a contractual marriage.

Falling in love? We'll never see each other as romantic partners, even if we live and die together.

...or so they said.

"Why is this woman so fragile and thin? It's making me worried for no reason."

"Why does this man insist on doing everything alone? I could help too."

They kept getting involved with each other... <<less

I became the fiancée of the sub-male lead, the head of the underworld.... more>>

I just suggested breaking off the engagement since he would probably like the female lead anyway, but…

[Breaking News] The Young Duke Valentino and Lady Inevasel to Marry Upon Graduation!

When I woke up, there was a marriage breaking news headline.

“What… how did this happen?”

“You just saw it? We’re getting married soon.”

Marriage? Over my dead body…

—

“This isn’t the Marquis’s mansion.”

I frowned slightly and gave him a glare. Axion’s deep voice whispered near my ear.

“That’s obvious. It’s our newlywed home.”

“What on earth are you talking about?”

Before I could even be flustered by how close he suddenly was, his pronounced dimple appeared clearly.

“You know better than anyone, Evelyn.”

“…!”

“I really do want to lock you up like this.”

Um… wasn’t “obsession” not supposed to be a keyword between us? <<less

"Let's date!"... more>>

Because you like me, and I like you too!

On my 10th birthday, along with my past life, I remembered that this world was a romance fantasy novel. In addition to that, my current family will be ruined by the villain! Because of that, my beautiful life at the age of ten had a primary goal: to rehabilitate the villain—the first prince who was abandoned in the palace.

"Oho, you shouldn't use strength to suppress the weak."

"Conversation! Conversation! We have the wonderful means of conversation! Always choose to have a conversation first!"

"If the other party is hurt, even out of courtesy, ask if they're okay!"

Handsome! Well-raised! Someone who likes me so, so much! How could I not like someone like this?

But then... Could it be because he was raised too well?

"I'm sorry, we can't date right now."

"Why?"

"To truly earn your love, I must slay a dragon!"

That was something I said randomly while reading a romance novel...!

"I want to become a man worthy of being by your side. So, I'll catch a dragon!"

Crazy man! How could there be a dragon in this peaceful era! <<less

I possessed a supporting character sacrificed to the obsessive main lead in an R-rated BL novel. I became the emperor's daughter with an abundance of queenly qualities.... more>>

"Yvonne, this is your birthday present."

Before even attempting to escape the fate of being sacrificed to the obsessive main lead, the emperor planted dead flags as birthday gifts. And not just one but two.

"Your father went through all this trouble; surely, you won't fail to awaken, right?"

Either failing to awaken and dying at the hands of her adopted father.

"What do you think I'll do first if I leave this place?"

As in the original story, she is killed by Duke Leonhardt, a obsessed maniac who was kidnapped.
Either way, I don't want to die!

To survive, I planned to escape the palace. Simultaneously, I did my best to treat Duke Leonhardt well.

Before parting, he expressed gratitude to me, and we promised to meet again with smiles.

That was clear!

"When we meet again, I told you it would be your turn this time."
"You're not going anywhere now, Yvonne. Not if I don't let you."

This seems totally messed up…

I'm pretty sure the Duke Leonhard is obsessed with me.
I know you're obsessed, but he's wrong! <<less

This man will kill my brother in the future.... more>>

"All of this… is to save him."

I chose to marry him—just to stop him.

I was reincarnated into a dark, adult-rated novel—one that ends in tragedy, with both the heroine and the male lead meeting their deaths.

As the sister of the male lead... and the fiancée of the crown prince who kills them.

At first, I was simply worried about surviving as a mere side character.

But my brother was kind, and the heroine was beloved.

If only I could change the ending... so the crown prince won’t kill them.

"Rose, what I mean is..."

"...."

"Even the love you hold for your family… I don’t want anyone else to have it but me."

This man is utterly deranged. <<less

In a time of uncertain transmigration within a novel read anytime, anywhere, parallel reading is perilous.... more>>

“Sect Leader, a newborn was left in front of our gate!”

As a reward for reading both childcare romance novels and martial arts novels brimming with blood, calling for justice and alliances, one may transmigrate into a unique hybrid of martial arts and childcare.

Moreover, it’s not the clichéd daughter of a prestigious family, but an abandoned baby left in front of the treacherous Mount Hua Sect!

“Yes, youngest one! Leaving a legend that wields a sword before taking the first step is what we’re aiming for!”

“Youngest! If you’re part of the Mount Hua Sect, you must surely bloom Plum Blossoms!”

Don’t create legends of wielding a sword for a baby who can’t even walk.

“We must defeat the Wudang Sect, we must! How long do we have to live hearing that the world’s greatest swordsmanship is associated with the Wudang!”

Do adults burdening children with excessive responsibilities make any sense?

Even worse, the troublemaker Namgoong Family who used to coax me to come to his house when I was young doesn’t recognize me now…

“Is this all the Mount Hua’s Sword has to offer? I had some expectations for the Mount Hua Sect, but it’s nothing special.”

Just don’t speak, okay?

In the future, could you please send only one proper childcare romance novel at a time?

***

Namgoong Family’s Heon suddenly grabbed my shoulders.

“Hey, you… don’t spar with someone else.”

“Do you think that’s possible when my head is spinning from the shock of defeat? Come on.”

Nodding absentmindedly in agreement, Namgoong Heon changed the topic.

“Then don’t smile like that after sparring with someone else is over.”

Slowly blinking, he looked down at me with pitch-black pupils.

“Only smile like that when I win.” <<less

I possessed the world’s strongest villain who would be brutally killed by the protagonists.... more>>

For the sake of world peace, I met my death according to the original story’s flow,

And 5 years later, I opened my eyes in an unfamiliar body…

‘Now all that’s left is to enjoy the peaceful world!’

I just wanted to live a modest extra’s life, but the male leads who killed me keep pestering me?

Nevermind that they discovered my identity, but now there are three (crazy) male leads smiling with tears in their eyes.

“Ever since you died, I’ve always had the same dream. Burning the entire continent and staining even the last handful of soil with blood.”

My ex-fiancé, who had demanded to break off our engagement saying he loved another woman, has gone mad in an elegant way..

“I killed God. That damn God who gave the oracle to kill you.”

The Pope of the Holy Kingdom, who tried to kill me to save the saint, has ascended to become a holy lunatic.

And the one I least wanted to meet,

“Please, don’t disappear again. Jella.”

My noble knight who became a hero of the people after killing me has gone beautifully insane…

Boom!

The moment he whispered to me in a chillingly gentle voice,

A mountain behind him flew away with a thunderous sound.

“Wait. Did a mountain just fly…!”

“This peaceful world achieved through your death…”

As I rolled my eyes in surprise, he covered my eyes with his large palm and sweetly threatened,

“Don’t make me destroy it with my own hands.”

…It seems the male leads have become a bit strange after my death, don’t you think? <<less

I got reincarnated into a romance webtoon I used to enjoy reading. Not as the heroine, not even as a villainess, just a complete extra.... more>>

I was living peacefully as “Villager #1,” I quietly fulfilled my role, adapting to this new life.

Until one day, just like in the original story, I stumbled across the male lead, falsely accused of treason and now a s*ave, collapsed in the forest.

“Listen, lady. Take me with you. Use me however you like, just give me food and a place to stay.”

“I don’t have much experience, but I’m good at anything that involves the body. I’ll learn fast.”

“What, am I not your type?”

Me? With the male lead? Seriously?

He was acting like a real s*ave without even a shred of shame, and if someone else saw us, I’d be in big trouble. So April had no choice but to take him in.

Her plan was simple: take care of him and send him off to the female lead, just as the story intended.

But every night, the male lead kept trying to seduce her.

“If you don’t hate me, please… don’t push me away.”

They spent a year together.

But just when I thought I might have gotten used to his presence, the female lead suddenly appeared, and due to circumstances beyond my control, we had to part ways.

It was sad, but that’s just how the life of an extra goes. So April quietly stepped out of the story, wishing them happiness.

Until years later—

“Found you.”

“Still picking up poor pitiful strays like me, April? …Was I not enough for you?”

“You’re coming back with me. You’ll live in my estate, in my bedroom, where you’ll live under my eyes—and mine alone.”

‘Wait… what’s wrong with the male lead?!’

Staring at the strangely unhinged Tession, April broke out in a cold sweat. <<less

Meet Aisha, the 5-year-old spy raised by the Pose Family.... more>>

“Your first mission: become the missing daughter of Duke Calypse Kreutz.”

Inside her body, deployed to bring down Duke Calypse Kreutz…

I, who died from overwork, have entered.

I can’t die like in the original story, pretending to be a fake daughter!

Day by day, striving to break free from the life of a spy, revealing the whereabouts of the real daughter, and being acknowledged as an ally in various ways.

Even choosing a foster father to avoid returning to the Pose Family.

“With my abilities, I could even become an S-class mercenary. What if you try nurturing this golden seed called me?”

As the most familiar gardener at the Kreutz Mansion!

And finally, the day when efforts bear fruit and an adoption application is received.

“Now, it’s time for a formal introduction.”

Why does the old man, who took off his usual robe, look so handsome?

Why is his room so magnificent, like that of a noble, and why are people kneeling as they come in?

“…Sir, who are you?” <<less

A political marriage—such a common occurrence.... more>>

The only saving grace was that she would leave her family behind and become a Countess.

But even as a Countess, her life was devoid of any happiness.

The Earl, too busy fooling around with his mistress, and the servants who treated her as if she didn’t exist.

Even the maid who had followed her from her family was driven out by the mistress’s tyranny.

In that vast mansion and estate, there wasn’t a single person on her side.

In the end, because of the Earl and his mistress, she even met her death.

In her final moments, she let out a hollow laugh at the radiant light shining down on her.

“So, only at the very last moment does such warm sunlight finally shine upon me.”

Perhaps even God took pity on her and granted her another chance.

Though she was certain she had died, when she opened her eyes, she found herself in the heart of the Empire’s capital?!

She had returned to the time when talks of her marriage with the Earl were still ongoing!

Faced with the prospect of becoming a Countess again, she thought she would rather die.

And then, he appeared before her.

She didn’t recall him, but he was the owner of the handkerchief carefully tucked away in her drawer—the Duke.

Why was the Duke’s handkerchief in my drawer?

Why was the Duke asking to marry me? <<less

"My granddaughter, Elisha. Promise me you’ll take care of the pawnshop..."... more>>

I failed to keep my grandfather’s dying wish and closed my eyes for the last time.

But when I opened them again, I was back to the past—before I lost everything and met my end!

"This time, I won’t let anyone steal my family or the pawnshop from me."

I claimed my inheritance early to protect it. But why are all the customers who come to this pawnshop so... peculiar?

***

"Does this pawnshop deal in people too?"

"What?"

"Nothing much. I was just wondering if you could buy me."

"Uh... that’s definitely not nothing."

An oddball, possibly a criminal, confidently requesting to sell himself.

"Are you the owner here?"

"Yes, that’s correct."

"I see. And who gave you permission to run a business here?"

A suspicious figure, possibly a gangster, politely delivering thug-like lines.

"...Where did you even get this?"

"Why? Is it worthless? Did I bring something too small?"

"No, sir, this is a holy relic."

"...."

"Where on earth did you steal this?!"

And another weirdo, possibly a thief, casually bringing in a stolen sacred artifact to pawn.

"Grandpa, there are just way too many troublesome people here..."

Can I really make this work? <<less

As if waking up in a martial arts novel wasn’t bad enough, I expected to be born with a silver spoon according to the original setting, but my situation seems off—more like a gold-plated spoon.... more>>

“What kind of family treats their direct descendants worse than servants? Does that even make sense?”

At least I inherited some wealth from my late parents. So, I thought I’d escape my terrible household, avoid the harassment from my uncles, and live a quiet, long life.

“If anyone messes with my people, the story changes.”

An eye for an eye, as they say. They tried to keep me down because of the position of young leader of the Golden Scale Trading Group, huh?

“Guess I’ll have to take that position myself.”

To get back at my uncles who wronged me, I aimed to become the heir of the trading group. Using the knowledge from the original story, I made my move. But then…

“This job really suits me too well.”

I easily dealt with the Eighteen River Pirates and the Green Forest bandits by using the power of negotiation.

“Oh, you little rat! You scoundrel! Are you trying to starve us all to death?”

Clearing out those outlaws also allowed me to tidy up the black market and gather useful items and information.

“The royal house is requesting an additional deal. And I’ve received letters from sects beyond the borders. What on earth did you do?”

As I successfully closed more deals, I even caught the annoying attention of my grandfather, who had previously ignored me.

“If you’re curious, pay up. Nothing in this world is free.”

People started calling me more of a money-grubber than my grandfather ever was.

“I’ve got too much to protect now; I can’t afford to slack.”

No matter how much I gathered, it was never enough, especially considering the bloody storms that would come in the original plot. Amidst all this…

“You’ve taken me in, so now you have to take responsibility.”

The person I raised and set free returned, trailing after me. You weren’t this obedient and tame before.

“Oh, forget it.”

First, I’ll deal with this damned original story. Then I’ll figure out the rest. <<less
