“Rabiana Selden. I paid a fair price to have you.”... more>>

Her groom was changed—on the day of the wedding, no less.

A cold, arrogant voice rang in Rabiana’s ears.

After losing her family and her sight in an accident as a child, she had been living under the care of others.

But she never wanted to be sold off like this, forced into marriage.

“Bear my child. Once you do, I’ll send you wherever you wish.”

Unilateral words spoken without the slightest care.

Duke Alberto Vel Roen was that kind of man.

“Why me, of all people?”

“Because you’re a woman I don’t need to concern myself with.”

“…Please, keep your promise to let me go.”

Rabiana made up her mind.

Once she gave birth to his child, once he abandoned her—

she would end this wretched life herself.

***

Alberto had thought little of marrying Rabiana.

He didn’t even recognize the emotions stirring within himself.

He assumed a woman with nothing to her name would quietly serve his purpose.

“Don’t come. Go back, Your Grace.”

“You… intend to leave me?”

Only now, when he could no longer stop her,

did he realize what a fool he had been.

Rabiana, who had always been within reach,

was now coldly trying to go somewhere he could never find her.

“Rabiana!”

His desperate cry shook the forest. <<less

When I opened my eyes, I was inside a novel.... more>>

[The Birth of a Hero].

[The Birth of a Hero] was a novel focused on the adventures of the main character, Choi Han, a high school boy who was transported to a different dimension from Earth, along with the birth of the numerous heroes of the continent.

I became a part of that novel as the tr*sh of the Count’s family, the family that oversaw the territory where the first village that Choi Han visits is located.

The problem is that Choi Han becomes twisted after that village, and everyone in it, is destroyed by assassins.

The bigger problem is the fact that this s*upid tr*sh who I’ve become doesn’t know about what happened in the village and messes with Choi Han, only to get beaten to a pulp.

“…This is going to be a headache.”

I feel like something serious has happened to me.

But it was worth trying to make this my new life. <<less

She came back from the unknown gate wearing only a black dress with a black parasol. A first-generation hunter, Cha Eunha, went missing 30 years ago.... more>>

In the early 2000s, they had been locked within a mysterious gate.

For someone to escape, one must stay behind…

“It’s because you have more reasons to stay alive for than me.”

Eunha sacrificed herself for her colleague Yijun, killed monsters to survive and met a man who found her when there were no monsters left to kill.

“You’re the boss.”

Shin Siwoo, the first S-Class hunter that she’s ever heard of.

When Eunha had managed to get out of the strange gate,

“Thirty years…have passed?”

The world had changed so much.

Besides, Baek Yijun, an old colleague that she had met after a long time,

“You know what. I hate the fact that people like you are hunters.”

—was not the person Eunha had remembered. <<less

Driel Stein, the Lord of Arhon.... more>>

The unfortunate fact that he did not love his wife, Lune Hellid, was well-known to most.

“To all the gods I swear; I will never love someone like you. Rather than spending the rest of my life with you, I would rather die on the battlefield.”

Lune, having heard insults from her husband on the day of their wedding, became the world’s most miserable wife, but she did not resent Driel.

Instead, she understood Driel.

“I’ve begged you countless times to not choose me as your husband. Now that you’ve ruined me, how do you feel?”

It was because Lune Hellid had ruined Driel Stein’s life.

*

After three years, the husband who left for the battlefield like he was committing su*cide has returned.

To seek forgiveness for her mistakes, Lune decided to get a divorce immediately.

But her husband was acting strangely.

“I’m not going to divorce you even if I die. So you should also give up.”

Not only did he refuse the divorce, he even extended a helping hand to Lune.

“Lune. The Driel that whined that you ruined his life was reborn on the battlefield.”

What exactly happened to Driel at the northern battlefield?

“Lady Hellid, there are reanimated corpses attacking the village!”

Furthermore, as soon as the war in the north ended, a strange incident occurred in the territory.

Will they be able to overcome the crisis?

Will they be able to live in the present without dwelling on the regrets of the past? <<less

After ten years, they received a prophecy.... more>>

Everyone started moving to find the child of light.

It was funny to see them searching without even knowing who it was.

Selvia, sitting precariously on top of a tall building, laughed softly as she watched them.

“They’ll be barging into my house soon.”

Although it was still supposed to be daylight, darkness began to settle in the sky.

Selvia murmured as she watched the sky gradually lose its light.

“Mother, it seems everyone is looking for me.”

She smiled faintly as she looked at the necklace in her hand.

Darkness began to spread more densely around her body. <<less

I was selected as a beta tester and entered a virtual reality dating simulation!... more>>

But the game description said it had multiple routes,

so why am I the fiancée of the duke?

Moreover, the rules are written in the style of Neapolitan legends.

The servants’ faces are black and empty,

and to make things worse, the chef tells me to eat hair, calling it spaghetti!

“Ugh, why are there so many bugs in this game?”

I’m diligently playing this buggy game full of issues,

and it turns out the Duke, the male lead, even has a split personality.

Or rather, he’s the very target I’m supposed to win over…

“I hate that you love that devil more than me. Seriously.”

By day, he’s pure and innocent.

“Tonight, we’ll share a bed. You’re mine, Nadia Windsor.”

But at night, with sexy eyes, he barges into my bedroom…?

He’s very handsome, which is nice,

Is this game really made properly?

One of the wealthiest people in the Empire, the Duke of Rosen has only one blemish.... more>>

The fact that Aristina, the worst villain in the Empire, is the only daughter of the Duke!

In the end, she is imprisoned in her home in an attempt to poison the prince’s fiancée, and the moment she is mu*dered by an unknown criminal, ‘I’ took hold of her body.

Fortunately, her name was cleared, but more importantly…

‘Who was the killer of Aristina?’

Thanks to her personality that is not strange even if she is stoned along the way; everyone who is crushed by her is suspected of being a preliminary mu*derer.

‘I must never die twice!’ She restored the trust of the sickly Duke, who had been rotting all his life because of his daughter, and went around doing good deeds with impure intentions.

“Aristina! You have to lighten the mood of this prom!” Starting with the 2nd prince, who acts as a large loyal dog without opening the open front.

“You say you’re going to lose your hair and run after the girls? That’s what we need right now.” The crown Prince breaks down his polite and respectful mask only in front of me.

“Who did you go to that day after you left me?” Even the head of the holy church only reveals secrets the more she digs.

Even the most probable suspects turned to me and twisted too far. But the peace is short-lived, and the real killer is finally revealed. <<less

"White evening primroses are in full bloom -!”

It was a strange succession ceremony in which the strongest member of the royal family succeeds the throne.

After being poisoned, she returned five years into the past, and played the part of a crazy b*tch in order to survive.

Seriously, was surviving by simply looking like the weakest not enough?

The crazy princess, with no power or backing, was about to die, but a suspicious wizard suddenly appeared before her.

“What should I do to get your kiss?”

“A deal. If you help me, I'll kiss you.”

“Good. I have no intention of letting you die in the hands of anyone besides me."

I feel like I entered the tiger's den while trying to escape the wolves…

Is it really okay if I make this deal?

“I know you hate us a lot.”... more>>

She possessed the villain maid Eugenia.

At the moment when she was about to flirt for her own safety, she received a very dangerous request from Joshua, the original male lead who was still young.

“Get us out of here and take us to the Isa Empire. If you do that, all these jewels are yours.”

She tried to pretend not to know, but her conscience as an adult was aching, so she tried to take the twins to their destination… The twins and the Duke of Herace were starting to become obsessed!

“Why are you trying to leave?”

“Now that I have brought you two safely, I have to start a new life now.”

“You stirred us up so much, and now you’re leaving? Were you so irresponsible? What about the kids?”

At that moment, cold gazes around them turned towards Eugenia.

‘No! We’re not like that! It’s all wrong!’

Even the twins held onto her ankles and cried…!

“Sister, where… are you going?”

“Did you forget about the contract? If you’re going to leave, pay the penalty and go.”

They were grabbing the fake contract that I signed out of pity!

“Where did you learn something like that?”

She said he’s like those ugly twins! Why was everyone holding on to her ankles sadly?

The only thing she stirred in their lives was whipped cream. The indignant Eugenia’s great transformation misunderstanding romance! <<less

A former office worker who was relatively competent but ultimately died of overwork.... more>>

In her second life, however, she finds herself far from being competent.

Bianca Soleike, the only non-mage born into the prestigious Soleike family of mages.

Unfortunately, she ended up possessing the body of the very Bianca, infamous for being synonymous with incompetence.

Thanks to her family’s influence, she managed to secure a job at the Magic Tower, but…

There was a massive problem:

Her boss was impossibly difficult to deal with.

The king of all mages, hailed as the greatest mage in history.

The unrivaled genius, Gillian Seaton.

Not only was he famous for his extraordinary abilities, but also for his notorious temper.

One day, he began looking at Bianca, the previously incompetent aide turned mysteriously capable, with suspicion.

“Why has my administrative aide suddenly changed like this?”

It would have been a relief if all he did was doubt her…

“How much do you want to know?”

“Everything.”

“Why?”

“Because you’re my administrative aide. You’re mine.”

His obsession is anything but ordinary.

Even with his shirt buttoned up to the very top, she finds herself at the mercy of the dangerously seductive employer whose allure screams decadence.

Bianca’s heart is barely holding on.

She thought he was just her boss, but it turns out he’s a possessive and dangerously passionate man.

Seo Jae-Yi is an S-Class Esper with the power to control fire. However, for 10 years, she hasn't been able to find a compatible Guide, leading to a terminal diagnosis.... more>>

"Let's at least achieve my dream before I die!"

With that thought, she impulsively opens a flower shop. But alas, her uncontrollable pyrokinesis leads to flowers bursting into flames and the shop catching fire. As she tearfully cleans up the piles of ashes day after day...

“This shop has a rather... enthusiastic way of greeting its customers.”

“Y-You were so handsome, I thought you were a flower and tried to water you…”

The man she accidentally drenched turns out to be her perfectly matched Guide. Not only that, but their compatibility rate is an unbelievable 93%! This man might be the key to extending her life!

But something feels strange. He’s a complete stranger, yet why does she feel this sense of longing when she looks at him?

"Why haven't you asked me to Guide you?"

Baek Juwon closed the distance between them, his voice husky. Jae-Yi flinched as his large hand reached out to gently caress her wound.

"I can make this disappear in an instant."

"Let me take care of everything. Just stay still."

His voice alone was enough to paralyze her. Baek Juwon's eyes glittered dangerously as a wave of exhilarating Guiding washed over Jae-Yi, leaving her breathless. <<less

There was no reply from him, instead the glass that he held popped and cracked.

“Why should I get married?”

“Eh?”

“I already have you.”

Why should you get married, you say? You have to get the Empress so I can leave this castle! Sezh laughed strangely.

“Sezh.”

At that moment, she stumbled and Raytan pulled her body into his arms. His red eyes started to gleam suggestively while looking down at Sezh who was trapped in his arms.

Ellie was a girl who couldn’t talk or even write well.... more>>

By chance, she begins listening to three people’s secrets.

The three start to develop an interest in Ellie who hearken to their words.

However, a couple of days later, Ellie disappears without leaving any traces.

With Ellie’s disappearance,

Hayden, who confessed that he has a crush on a man.

Lennon, who enjoys games involving riddles.

Lebrado, who has a secret fetish.

The three men start searching for her, yet no one comes to figure out where she had left.

Since they would only talk about their own stories and had no clue about hers.

Voiceless Ellie.

That was my name.

***(After the tables have turned)***

I began to speak again and by the favor of someone truly dear to me, I became an “Count”.

The commoner Ellie who once couldn’t talk, can now let out a voice as “Count Phever”.

“……Ellie?”

I sacrificed my own life to save my husband, who was my first love.
I thought I could finally be free from this foolish love after I’ve died, but…... more>>

Why is it that when I opened my eyes again, I found myself in someone else’s body?
Even worse, I transmigrated into a novel?

And why is my ex-husband here, too?

He became the S-Class Esper who was obsessed with the female lead—enough that he would eventually commit treason against the Crown Prince, who was the true male lead.
More than anything else though, why did I suddenly manifest the abilities of a Guide?

…Ah, whatever. I died anyway, so that should be the same as a divorce, I guess.

* * *

“My wife, did you think that I wouldn’t recognize your guiding?”

Why do you remember me.
Why are you looking at me like that, not the female lead? With those eyes so full of obsession and madness.
You weren’t originally this kind of man.

He approached me at a languid pace, watching closely as I was at a loss for words.
His saunter was slow and elegant, as though he was a lion approaching his prey—even so, he could not hide his thirst and hunger. No, it’s not as if he was even trying to hide it.

As he finally arrived in front of me, he raised one hand and held my chin. With his thumb, unceremoniously, he rubbed my lower lip.
At the familiar action, I felt myself shudder. He had always been rather rough whenever he received my guiding.
His delighted expression was slightly distorted.

“Ha…”

The moment his skin touched mine—the moment I started guiding him—he let out a deep, drawn-out sigh. His hot, thick breath clung to my eyes and lips.

I felt a warm hand touch my back, and he soon pulled me close to him forcefully. With my body pressed entirely against his, I couldn’t hide my surprise as I glanced up at him.
Then, when he opened his previously closed lids, his blue eyes looked at me as though he’d been waiting.

With his lips so close to the tip of my nose, he turned his head obliquely as he crooned.

“I’ve been looking for you for such a long time, Honey.” <<less

Did that alpha enjoy their night together that much? He starts showing tremendous obsession.

‘Where did this come from?’

‘I must have this.’

He only did it to avoid the terrible ending of the original story, but the result is pregnancy? Moreover, the identity of the child’s father was someone even more incredible than he thought – Reynard Dennox, the only heir to the notorious Dennox ducal family and a naval hero of the Heston Empire.

On top of that, true to his reputation as a klutz, Valentin’s pregnancy is immediately discovered….

Her half-sister Judith, who is born from a s*ave, is the heroine of this world.

That she is destined to lose everything and have a miserable end after touching forbidden magic!

‘It’s ridiculous that I’m a loser in life!’

Seeing the future, Arbella decided.

‘From now on, I’m not going to live a good life… I will start preparing in advance to succeed in forbidden magic, which is going to fail in the future.

“Gerard, if you want to get out of this place, take my hand.”

“Judith, tell me what you want to do, I’ll take care of it all.”

I was excommunicated from my family for a crime I did not commit. But it wasn’t bad. I didn’t have much affection for the family, and I wanted to get out of the original flow of the novel.... more>>

So I received a portion of my property that was originally mine, and left the family without hesitation.

I was happy to think that I was finally freed from the original work.

I came down to a quiet countryside and bought a mansion far from the village.

It was a size that was enough to live alone.

Now, I thought I could live peacefully, gardening for the rest of my life here.

But life, as always, did not go my way.

Knights came to the peaceful village. Among them was Izar, my former fiance who ignored me. The words that came out from his mouth were quite shocking.

“Hestine was not the saint who will defeat the devil.”

No. Hestine is the one who will save the world from the devil. I know best because I’ve read the novel.

I possessed a villainess character, the female protagonist’s elder sister, who harassed the main characters. I wouldn’t bother them because I didn’t want to die in the male protagonist’s hand like in the original story.... more>>

I tried my best to connect the two, but…

“Do you… Do you hate me because I was a bad kid?”
The male protagonist was acting weird.

Later on, I tried to send him to the wizard tower as it was written in the original story, but for some reason, he tried so hard not to go even if he had to die.

I ended up saying what I shouldn’t have said to make him go.
“What’s the benefit of having you by my side?”

“I will listen to you from now on. I won’t whine. I won’t come to find you even if I miss you. I will just wait for you. So… So please….”

“I don’t need you.”
To him who begged, I answered coldly enough that I would never be there. You’ll forget everything about me anyway.

A few years later, the male protagonist, whom I thought had forgotten me, came to me without forgetting my existence. Not for my sister, who was the original female protagonist, but for me.

“How can I forget you?”

I wanted to ask him back. How come you still remember me?

“It’s a pity that your father died before I could prove my worth.”

“You don’t have to prove anything. You, You don’t have to do that…”

“If you say that I don’t have to do it anymore now…”
He grabbed my chin as he lowered himself.
“It would be difficult for me. Elysia.”

It would be difficult for me as well if you continue to be like this… <<less

By the time I learned the truth, it was too late.

In the end, I made the extreme choice to stab myself in the heart and die. That's how I thought I ended up, full of regret.

When I woke up, I was back to the day after my wedding three years ago, when everything started. I vowed to protect my husband at the opportunity given to me again, but he asked, "I married you?”

Strangely enough, he did not remember me. He remembered everything but couldn’t remember me.

How can I protect this man who only remembered me for a day?

Before you loved me, you had to be calm. For some reason, those fierce golden eyes looked at me as if they were about to devour me.

"Listen to me, Lily,”

Edlade said, lifting my chin gently.

"The day you met me, I asked you not to meet me again."

"Because you were crying like hell, and it hurt."

The Nettle bread that you couldn’t forget the taste, once you eat it.

Rosetta, the Sage of the East Forest.
Prince Inborgia, the 400-year-old High Elf who has been naturalized in the human Empire.

And, the dark flame mage, the Great Sage, Duke Katlena Agreta.
The cold and ruthless life of this woman, who doesn’t know the heart of a person, was dotted with modifiers such as ‘youngest’, ‘iron-blooded’,or ‘scary’.

So, when she personally recommended to the Emperor to let Prince Inborgia return to the capital, the one who had ruined her family, the world naturally thought of this:

‘Ah! At last, Duke Agreta will cut Prince Inborgia’s head!’

When she dared to summon the family’s head to the capital where her secret assassination group took control. How thorough the revenge of this ruthless Duke was designed.

But at the first encounter in fifteen years, Katlena Agreta said to him:

“Contrary to the hasty thoughts of the world, I have no intention of retaliating against you, Your Excellency. But you wouldn’t be naive to say that I’ve forgiven you, right? You’re a smart person after all.”

Ending the conversation halfheartedly, Katlena Agreta pulled her chin out curiously. Looking down at Schaurillin Inborgia with a gaze that seemed to contain contempt for a person.

“I have decided not to take revenge on you. Please consider the true meaning of these words…”

‘Yes, I decided not to take revenge.’

Because she knew it would be the wisest way. <<less
