Elysia lived in the shadow of a noble name, her once bright future now tarnished by the harsh hand of her husband, Dominic. For eight years, she endured a life of quiet suffering. But then came Enoch, a man whose words cut through the murk of her existence like a blade. His touch, firm and unexpected, stirred something in her.... more>>

“I don’t know what I’d do if I end up embracing you,” he said, his voice a low, dark promise. “Will you allow me to seduce you? It would very much please me.”

In the midst of her desolation, Elysia found a glimmer of something she had forgotten. Her world seemed to spin when she met Killian, a man who saw beyond her bruises. “The trade is equivalent to an exchange,” she said, her voice a whisper.

Killian, with a gaze that could see through lies, offered her a choice.

“Then take out what you have. I don’t know what it is, but it should be attractive enough. I don’t like cheap deals.”

Elysia, in her pain, shed her past like an old coat.

Killian’s eyes softened as he looked at her, his voice barely a murmur. “Do I look that frightening to you that I would not hold a battered woman? You’re beautiful, you know. Cherish yourself more. It is what you deserve. It is what you are owed.” <<less

‘Open your eyes, Eden. Please…! Please!’... more>>

There was a heated voice coming from far away. Have I really died? The more the torturous pleasure grew, the more my mind drifted away. Without realizing it, Hye-mi embraced the man’s back which was soaking with sweat.

***

Hye-mi woke up as Eddert of the Klawe Empire.
Everyone said she was Her Imperial Majesty, the Emperor.
And beyond death, she was even reunited with her former lover, Walter.

“You are destined to become Emperor of Klawe, Eddert.” <<less

Ian, who was a hitman, finishes his last mission and drives the knife across his neck.... more>>

[I’ve never seen the place where I woke up after I stopped breathing.]
Somewhere with strange people and endless dark forest.

One could occasionally hear crying at dawn.

As soon as he realized that he was in someone else’s body named ‘Ian’, the high gates were opened, and he met the owner of the mansion, who had blue blood on him; the color of the serpent.

“I’ve been worried a lot since you got back covered in blood.

It’s good to see you breathing fine.”

His hair disheveled and as dark as the night. Tall, dark skinned with slender eyes, the aura around him felt slightly dominant.

[Ah, he’s the man I had already killed.]

Ian realizes the moment he looks at his face,

He can’t think of his name or the reason why I killed him.

The man had a suspicious attitude…. <<less

I was just answering the phone when suddenly, an automated voice could be heard from the other side of the line:... more>>

Reset.

And game set.

After that, everything went dark, like something had turned off my life switch.

Seconds later, I opened my eyes to strange men wriggling in my bed.

“Why are you by my side?”

“It’s because I’m…… I’m Your Highness’s concubine.”

What the hell is this world?

In a strange and unfamiliar reverse world, my second life has begun. <<less

Eva Massies, once a daughter of a noble family, now lives in a house of acquaintances as a maid. She met him for the first time when her life was at rock bottom. Her handsome, strong, and dazzling former fiancée, Crown Prince Edward.... more>>

“Why are you crying, hm?”

Edward asked worriedly as he took her hurt foot.

“…It’s embarrassing. Hic–”

Perhaps it was because of how affectionate his voice was. A voice that had been suppressed all this time brazenly slipped out. To top it off, being soaked wet in water, wearing a pair of worn-out, patched socks, hitting rock bottom, all of these were shameful.

“Are you feeling ashamed because you’re hurt? Your foot is still beautiful even like this.”

He said those words like it wasn’t something to be concerned about.

“There’s no need to be ashamed. For whatever reason, you did nothing wrong, Eva.”

He soothed her fear by calling her name. Only when he’d left did she realize. That man who stayed only for a moment, that man who would be deeply engraved in her heart, was her first love.

* * *

Once again she met Edward after going through a rough time.

After defeating numerous nobles’ daughters and becoming a lady-in-waiting.

After her heart grew stronger.

After she no longer thought about him.

“It’s the lady of the bedchamber’s job to make sure that everything is sufficient and provide anything that Your Highness needs before sleep. That’s why, if you wish to hold hands, do as you wish.”

“Have I ever acted as I pleased in front of a lady even once?”

His voice was cold, drastically different from before. He held her, his glaring eyes felt very intimidating to her.

“If I knew you’d come to the imperial palace, I wouldn’t have let you go that day.”

Edward, who had his face close to her, warned in a low voice,

“So this time, I was thinking of doing anything however I wished.” <<less
