“It’ll hurt quite a lot the first time.”... more>>

Leilia’s life was hell itself.

She went through four marriages with Carlisle Liston, and faced four deaths.

The first time, it was because she wanted to be loved. The second, because she wanted to turn things around.

And the third, the fourth—only after repeating the same thing did she finally realize.

To Carlisle Liston, Leilia was nothing more than a tool needed for breeding.

“You want Gridana?”

When she nodded slowly, his stained hand pressed stickily against Leilia’s cheek.

“When you’ve given me about three children—when you can never leave my side—I’ll give you that place.”

Now that she had let go of everything, he had changed. <<less

Despite his exceptional power, Clipse suffers from persistently high toxin levels due to never having met a compatible Guide.

“Who are you?”

From that moment, Clipse begins to uncover the hidden truths the royal family and the nobility have long kept buried… <<less

Once, Charlotte and Leo had shared a deep bond as lovers, but their relationship was severed by Charlotte’s betrayal. Years passed, Leo returned from the war, now blind, and under the king’s orders, he is now bound to marry Charlotte.... more>>

“To see me in this condition must stir old emotions within you.”

As the silence stretched, Leo broke it with a tone laced with sarcasm.

His words seemed not only aimed at Charlotte but also at himself, and the bitterness in his voice left Charlotte no choice but to force a response.

"..It’s been a while.”

She wanted to call him Leo, but the word was lodged in her throat, too painful to utter.

Charlotte buried her trembling lips in her hands, trying to stifle the emotions that threatened to overwhelm her.

As their unstable marriage continues, Leo begins to uncover the hidden truths that Charlotte has long kept concealed. <<less

Lina, a writer with a penchant for writing 19+ angsty reverse harems romantic fantasies where her heroine gets jerked around and s*xual scenarios are rampant, found herself transported into her own novel after being cursed by her heroine, who met a bad end. She was now Delennia, the tragic villainess.... more>>

In addition, the novel had changed into a game, and Lina was given a quest to change Delennia’s fate. But there was a catch, the male leads she’d created weren’t normal.

ML #1: Pretending to be crazy

ML #2: Definitely crazy

ML #3: Occasionally crazy

“Anyone who sees me would think I’m trying to violate a noble lady.”

“I’m curious. Your body, your heart, your mind, even the blood flowing through your veins. I want to know everything.”

“Don’t try to spread your wings recklessly. My lady, you’re safest in my arms.”

Lina decided she must capture those dangerous male leads for Delennia’s happy ending.

And of course, it was out of the pure heart of an author, right? <<less

I found a sinking ship and offered to save it. ... more>>

What I received in return was the obsession of the Pirate King - the emperor's bastard who rules these waves.

A wretch like me should have stayed hidden until their ship sailed away. But...

"That's a pirate's nature for you. Seeing retreat only makes me want to drag you back and make you weep."

The man’s hands, which were supporting my back and calves, felt like they were branding me, leaving dark, deep marks that wouldn’t fade.

My entire body pulsed as though transformed into one giant heart. The mingling scents of his cigar and the sea left me dizzy.

After sharing countless dawns together, when I finally opened my heart -

"I've never strayed from my course for personal whims. And I never will."

He abandoned Laila.

So she made her choice:

If the world beyond this shell won't claim me, then I'll make sure the man who sails its merciless tides can't bear to be without me.

***

That ghost of a woman is trying to save him again.

With her fragile handful of a body, her silk-thread hair, those breakable wrists, the frantic rise and fall of her chest - how dare she, with all that fragility, think she can—

Just watching her stirs something uncanny within him. The pirate covers his face with a calloused hand.

"Very well, sea. If this is my punishment for straying from my course, I accept your judgment."

Even knowing he'll tear out his own heart with regret, he'd make the same choice a hundred times over.

Renok Verche laughs bitterly.

"Damn it all. That woman didn't just consume my dawns - she devoured my very soul." <<less

“Wife, I heard you were staring at another man again.”... more>>

“That’s not…ugh!”

“I will continue until you stop thinking of another man or divorce.”

How did it end up like this?

My life has become a tangled mess.

“If you even dare to hold another man’s hand, I’ll snap that pretty little wrist.”

* * *

“I want to hold a man’s hand, even just once!”

After living as a Motae-Solo [mfn]모태 솔로 is a Korean term that refers to someone who has never been in a romantic relationship, someone who has been single since birth[/mfn] for n years, I was hit by a reincarnation truck and thrown into a novel.

In this life, I don’t need anything else. It’s all about dating! I’ll date until I go crazy! Just avoid those dark and sinister types!

…Or so I promised.

I was tricked by the dark and sinister type due to a contract I made when I was young, and I became a married woman!

Sure, we can get married. But I will still date!

…Or so I thought.

This damn empire, it was more conservative than a backward country.

If I cheat after getting married → slap on the wrist.

If I’m accused of cheating when I didn’t → slap on the wrist.

I can’t live like this. I’m getting a divorce, a divorce! <<less

"Please send me to that swordsmanship academy."... more>>

The air around them quieted for a moment at the sound of Filina's voice.

Laura, who was standing beside her, looked at Filina with an astonished face.

Gabriel stared at her with a stern expression, and then quickly gave a twisted laugh.

"So you're finally going crazy.”

Filina, who raised the corner of her lips slightly as if she knew he would say that, whispered calmly.

"Father, I'm serious."

[Cecilia's Flower]

I had transmigrated into an R19 harem novel and possessed a villain.

Filina Debussy, who chose to do evil deeds and ended up being executed...

I managed to escape death, but before I knew it, I had already faced four deaths and was repeating my fifth life.

So I decided to make a different choice this time.

“I’ve been running away to avoid death, let's face it proudly this time.”

One way or the other, I was going to live a life of my own, no matter what.

I certainly was, but….

The Crown Prince, who had been showing a cold stare and a cold reaction, became impatient.

The mastermind who hid his painful past gave me a mysterious look.

And the timid heroine somehow started to cling to her relationship with me...

Tired of repeating my life, I just want to change the ending of death.

Even if it ends up killing people. <<less
