A year after dying on the battlefield, I woke up in a new body.... more>>

But where am I?

“This is the territory of Grand Duke Vallot in the Kadea Empire, my lady.”

Of all places, it had to be the land of my greatest enemy, Grand Duke Vallot!!!

I was dragged before the grand duke.

“Restrain her.”

Without warning, they put restraints on me.

“Drink this.”

They even made me drink the sap of the World Tree, which forces you to tell the truth.

“Oh please, Grand Duke, spare me. Who knows? I might become someone you really like.”

For some reason, the sap made me confess my thoughts like a drunken fool.

I ended up working as a maid in the grand duke’s mansion.

‘Well, since it's come to this, I’ll endure it and return home with the grand duke’s head in two years!’

Two years later.

I became the one and only butler capable of taking down assassins in the grand duke’s house.

“The success of the banquet is all thanks to our butler!”

“I was moved by the sight of her tending the garden in the pouring rain.”

“She even took down an assassin, right?”

“The smooth running of the grand duke’s house is all thanks to our butler!”

I received more praise than I ever did as a knight.

Uh…?

‘Could it be that… being a butler is my true calling?’

***

Q: Surely, you don’t mean to say that a female butler can serve as an advisor or a bodyguard, right?

A: Our butler is quite versatile. There’s nothing my butler can’t do. She’s the strongest, after all. (smirks)

Q: Is it true that the grand duke has fallen for his butler, who isn’t even a noble?

A: Oh yes, it’s true. In fact, I’m the one who’s more attached. I wish she would come to me quickly. <<less

"I don't dream about becoming someone's 'wife’ or anything like that."... more>>

"Yo-you don’t want to become a wife? But every girl in our village wants to be a 'wife'… What do you want to be, then?"

"I'll just be myself—Berenice Demesière!"

More precisely, I’ll become the honorable Berenice Demesière. The renowned Berenice Demesière! The wealthiest in the whole Empire—Berenice Demesiére!

⋆｡°✩ ★ ✩°｡⋆

A few years later…

"I hereby award the Imperial Hero’s Medal to Berenice Demesière, the valiant warrior who defeated the beast Aktayshir."

‘See? I told you I'd make it happen!’

⋆｡°✩ ★ ✩°｡⋆

I became a hero, admired and envied by all. My honor reached the skies, and money piled up to the point where it would rot before I could spend it all.

A suspicious man appeared as the peace I had worked so hard to achieve reached its pinnacle.

"Who are you?"

"...."

"You—don't tell me…"

No way—not in a million years!

It was a bloody dragon.

Not any dragon but the one I killed—or rather, the one I supposedly killed.

But why did he pretend to die and come back?! <<less

ALPHA X ALPHA... more>>

An alpha with nothing but a flawless exterior, hiding a rotten core—unable to live up to the role of an alpha.

Jin Sejun, once the alpha of alphas, was saddled with such a label due to his pheromone issues.

Because of that, he hadn't had a proper relationship even once by the time he hit thirty.

Then, one day, a beta client visiting the hair transplant clinic where he works catches his eye.

"Have you perhaps consulted at other clinics besides ours?"

"No, this is my first time."

"Then why don’t you think of this as a tour of clinics and meet with me a few more times?"

It wouldn't hurt to help out a perfectly capable beta while gaining a good-looking friend, right?

But somehow, the more Sejun meets this man... the more adorable he seems?

"Juwan, I'm really glad you're a beta. I just can't handle real alphas. I can deal with omegas and betas, but not alphas."

Finally, it seemed like flowers were about to bloom in Jin Sejun's life as the ultimate alpha—until Kwon Juwan suddenly ghosted him and disappeared without a trace?!

Then, as if by fate, they cross paths again in front of the cheerleading dance academy Sejun's niece attends.

"After ghosting me and blocking me like that, now you want to talk whenever it suits you?"

Fine.

If that's how it is, Sejun resolves to become the most irritating presence in Kwon Juwan's life—a thorn he can't ignore, like a stubborn speck of sand stuck in an unshucked clam! <<less

Korean-American second-generation lobbyist 'Park Byung-jun.' Reincarnated into the body of Prince Yi Kang, who studied abroad in the U.S.

Lord Nix Farrow, the Iron Duke of Loudhill, suffered a terrible accident during the war that left his skin hideously scarred. Though his valor earned him the respect of the realm and the title of a celebrated hero, it also left him with a crippling self-consciousness about his appearance. ... more>>

Even his childhood betrothed broke off their engagement, driving Nix into seclusion and fueling a deep-seated anxiety, especially around women. His mind would blank, his hands would tremble, and his composure would crumble in their presence.

‘I’m fine this way. I don’t care about women.’

Convinced that no one could ever love him, Nix had long ago resigned himself to a life without romance or marriage. His devoted younger brother, Desidero, however, refused to give up hope. After a relentless search, he finally located a heathen apothecary, rumored to be a miracle worker with skin ailments.

“My name is Titchte Ranlam.”

But Desidero hadn’t mentioned she was a woman! Her dark, curling hair was long and luxurious. Her rosy cheeks seemed to exude the scent of roses. She was petite and charming. She was a woman.

…A woman.

Nix Farrow, polishing his helmet, froze like a mouse before a cat. <<less

Clink—... more>>

As the mask split in half, a face appeared that seemed too perfect to belong to this world.

And yet, as this breathtakingly handsome figure stood before him, Ye Kang-oh’s expression slowly crumbled.

There was no way he could fail to recognize that face. Not because of its supreme beauty, rivaling the legends of Songok and Ban-ak, but because it was the face of the man who had once been Ye Kang-oh’s guardian.

"You… is it really you?"

Before him stood Dan Woo-hyo, the long-missing Master of White Virtue Palace, a man whom the entire martial world believed to be lost. Dan Woo-hyo, the man Ye Kang-oh, the youngest disciple of the Black Sky Lord, had revered and loved above all else.

"Was it always you, all this time?" <<less

[My lord, it is time for us to get married.]
[I do not wish to.]
[My lord, let us at least meet and have a conversation.]
[I do not wish to.]
[My lord, then shall we call off the engagement?!]
[I do not wish to.]
Princess Servil and Duke Lucian Fernes have been engaged for 10 years.... more>>

The Duke has neither met the Princess nor married her, yet he refuses to call off the engagement.

Frustrated, Servil travels to the distant north to confront her strange fiancé.

But how can she manage to break off the engagement that he has neglected for the past 10 years?

“My lord, what on earth are you thinking?”

“I want to be entangled with you.”

Servil narrowed one eye and blew a kiss into the air.

…So she decided to give him a piece of her mind in the north. She had only 15 days to do so.

***

“What I said back then was all a lie. It was just empty words to try and win you over.”

“But didn’t you say I was handsome?”

“That…is true, but…”

“And didn’t you say I was cute?”

“You’re quite the mimic.”

“Yes, I learned from a very bad teacher.”

Lucian locks eyes with her.

Servil is enveloped by a foreboding feeling that all the bad things she had done would come back to her. <<less

Just before becoming the seventh wife of an old-aging marquis who had devoured his previous six wives, her first love, Raiden, returned.... more>>

After waiting tirelessly for five years, now, only happiness seemed to lie ahead.

Raiden paid off her stepfather’s debts and became a loving partner again, even proposing to Ana.

But why did she feel uneasy? It was barely noticeable, but what could the chilly glint in his eyes mean?

He still loves her… right?

“People’s hearts… they change easily. You understand that, don’t you, my lady? You were smiling so brightly at your engagement ceremony with Young Lord Haimel.”

He had changed. Raiden now tormented Ana, he enacted punishment. To him, Ana was nothing but a sinner.

“Raiden… you weren’t like this.”

“That’s right. The me from the past used to be affectionate and gentle… I would have even died for you, as you put it.”

“…”

“That’s why it turned out this way.”

“What?”

“Remember this. I have no intention of repeating the same foolish mistakes.”

She tried her hardest to dispel his misunderstandings and regain his trust, but it was in vain.

‘I thought I owed you. But if it’s true that you ruined our family, the fate between us has already been settled.’

In order to break the chain of ill fate, she faked her death and fled from his side.

And finally, when Raiden discovered the truth, he came looking for her, collapsing at her feet and crying.

“I will keep trying until your heart opens up, my lady. Can’t you give me one more chance?”

“Is that… possible through just effort?”

“From the beginning… we shouldn’t have met. We should have never married.” <<less
