When I opened my eyes, I had possessed a character in a zombie story.... more>>

And not just any moment—but right when a zombie was about to bite me.

“Wait, hold on!”

Sure, I was a villainess who threw tantrums and trolled the protagonists, but still, don’t just abandon me!

Despite my desperate pleas, the protagonists’ backs grew farther and farther away.

And in the end…

Crunch!

Five minutes after possessing this body, I was bitten by a zombie.

***

“How can you be unharmed, Penelope?”

When I returned safely, everyone was utterly shocked, and the heroine, Lilia, ran up and hugged me.

“Lady! You’re alive!”

The sweet scent of the woman who embraced me as if relieved kept making my mouth fall open.

At this moment, I could just bite her down in one go…

These were the very people who had abandoned me and fled.

So taking a bite out of at least one of them should be fine, right?

As the faintly sweet scent tickled my nose, my mind grew hazy.

But the grand duke, who warily pointed his sword at me, snapped me back to reality, forcing me to suppress my instincts.

Yes. Just hold on a little longer.

Soon, they’ll develop a cure, and I can’t afford to die now.

So, while staying by the protagonists’ side, I kept my instincts in check, hiding the fact that I was a zombie…

“Your Highness, I’m fine.”

“There’s no way you’re fine. Look at how injured you are.”

Even when I insisted I was fine, they wouldn’t leave me alone.

“I’ll do it, so just stay put.”

“Next time, I’ll be the one to save you, Lady.”

“Please, don’t ever tell me to leave you behind. The thought of losing you drives me insane.”

It seems the protagonists have gotten a serious misunderstanding. <<less

She thought that she had died, but when she opened her eyes it was 200 years in the future.... more>>

“I fell in love with you the moment I saw your visage in the portrait.”

Everything was foreign, all except for the large portrait that was hanging in the room.

Indeed. That’s a portrait of her. The painting that her older sister created with her as the model, became a masterpiece that was auctioned for the highest bid ever after 200 years had passed.

She has unknowingly become the most famous beauty in art history. And this person that kept approaching me was the youngest Young Master of the most powerful family of this time and owned this expensive portrait.

“Be with me forever.”

This person was clearly a lunatic, falling in love with someone from 200 years ago after merely getting a glimpse of the portrait.

Vivian got up from her seat.

“I want to go back.”

Ahh.

“I want to go back to where my older sister is.”

So it was because of this.

As Edmund listened to her words that she wanted to go back to the past because she wanted to save her sister, emotions disappeared from Edmund’s face.

“Vivian.”

Unbeknownst to Edmund himself, dark emotions slowly rose from the floor like the mist at dawn.

“You aren’t going anywhere.” <<less

Gong: Seo Inho... more>>

An Alpha who treats Haon with quiet kindness. Claiming he simply likes helping others, he brings Haon into his home and tries to give him everything he needs—to the point that Haon starts to wonder if it’s more than just generosity.

Soo: Jung Haon

An Omega who suffers from a hormonal disorder, causing him to experience an almost pathological hunger every time he goes into heat. After moving to Seoul alone, Haon barely scraped by, enduring encounters with vile Alphas—until he miraculously met Inho. He finds himself slowly falling for the man who’s too kind to him, almost suspiciously so.

***

“Why are you crying so much?”

“……”

“Are you just... naturally tearful?”

The only thing Haon remembered when he woke up in a stranger Alpha’s bed was that exchange.

It wasn’t unusual for him. Every time he went into heat, he’d suffer from a pathological hunger, and lose his memory along with it.

So he tried to brush it off. Another hazy night, another Alpha, nothing more. But then...

“That student from earlier—looked like an Alpha.”

“…What?”

“Next door’s an Alpha too.”

The man had offered to take him home, so why was he saying things like that?

While Haon stood there confused by his words, the man casually held out his phone.

“I’m not expecting anything in return. I just want to help.”

“……”

“Just give me your number, Haon.”

There was something too gentle in his tone, a kindness that felt foreign. And maybe… Haon had already stepped too deep into it. <<less

Hailla lived a quiet, impoverished life, pouring her heart into caring for her sickly older sister, Rethe.... more>>

Just the two of them, barely getting by but together.

Then one day, she came across Lian, collapsed and helpless.

And, as if fate had written it, she fell in love with him.

“I like being with you.”

“Then stay with me.”

But Hailla had sworn a life of devotion to her sister.

To the man who desired her, she said the one thing she should never have said:

“The person I love most in this world is my sister.”

“...”

“Abandoning her would be the same as abandoning myself.”

When she opened her eyes, she was already in an unfamiliar place.

“You told me not to run in the house. You taught me that, remember?”

“Don’t do this. I need to go home. This isn’t my home...”

Slowly, his madness began to unravel before her.

She had believed she could protect her only family.

She was foolish enough to believe it.

And then Rethe died.

Most likely by Lian’s hand.

—

“I might die.”

It was time to let him go.

“If you leave me, I might die...”

His desperate plea not to be abandoned was pitiful. But she couldn’t trust him anymore.

“Then die.”

He had to be punished. <<less

"Can't you hug me tonight, too?”... more>>

“But why are you taking your shirt off?”

***

I was possessed by a wicked woman who was about to be hanged in a year.

In order to survive, she entered a contract marriage with the cursed northern grand duke.

He was obviously a husband who blushed at the mere touch of her hands at first…

“I thought you liked… my chest.”

“I can’t stop because your lips taste so sweet.”

I’m in trouble because my husband is so demanding!

Moreover, he said there were no tourists in this wonderful city, so I was thinking of helping out a bit.

“The north become the hottest place in the empire?”

“Special goods sold out as soon as they were released?”

Why is everything going so well?

Is it perhaps because of me, the Grand Duchess? <<less

"Are you seriously telling me to go to Bait?"... more>>

Evelyn Ebenezer, a maid of Hesta.

Because her hair and eye color matched that of the princess, she was sent to Bait in the princess’s place—forced by none other than Glenna, the princess’s nanny and mother figure.

Near the border on her way to Bait, Evelyn found herself on the brink of death at the hands of Hesta’s soldiers disguised as bandits.

"…So you are Princess Ophelia."

"Who… are you?"

"Reynard Theodore, Emperor of Bait."

The terrifying emperor who had unified more than half of the western continent.

Thanks to Reynard Theodore, she survived—but her real ordeal was only starting.

"Tell me your name."

"Ophelia—"

"No, I’m asking for your real name."

She tried to escape in secret, but she failed. Worse yet, her true identity was exposed.

And yet, for some reason, the Emperor of Bait ordered her to continue pretending to be Princess Ophelia...

"Do you understand what kind of impact even the smallest ounce of compassion can have?"

"I'm merely returning that compassion." <<less

I was suddenly possessed into a romance fantasy novel where the mentally broken protagonist Rohan finds comfort and grows to love a bright and kind saint who soothes his heart. But I possessed the cursed demon sword - the very cause of the protagonist's suffering that eventually gets sealed by the temple.... more>>

"When you need a sword later, I'll become your sword."

Making promises that couldn't be kept, I decided to take care of the protagonist who lost everything overnight, at least until he goes to the temple. But somewhere along the way, raising him became genuine.

***

"I wish Arfel would stay with me forever..."

Despite being barely a whisper, Arfel could hear Rohan's words more clearly than ever before. Somehow, their chest felt full. Though the reason for this satisfaction was unknown, they gladly accepted these feelings that came from Rohan.

They poked his chubby cheeks with their fingers. This is what people seem to find cute. They kept gently pressing the squishy cheeks that gave way each time. As they kept touching his cheeks, Rohan suddenly lifted his head from their shoulder.

Though he didn't say anything, Arfel somehow felt Rohan's gaze asking, "What about Arfel?"

Arfel, who had now learned to naturally wear a faint smile like Rohan, answered:

"Me too. I wish I could stay with you forever, Rohan."

You're the only one who has meaning to me. <<less

[Make a sound like you’re looking for Gray in front of the Emblem.] ... more>>

These two families, which appear in the most beloved proverb of the Lutinas Empire, are known throughout the country as arch-enemies.

Among the two families renowned for their swordsmanship, I was reborn as Cherrya Emblem, the cherished daughter of the Emblem Duchy.

In my previous life, I was an Inspector who lived a rough life and was killed by a criminal. This new life felt like a reward, but…

“You’re going to become boring. You and the Emblem family will both grow weak.”

“Say that again, you bastard!”

I was betrothed to Enoch Gray, the heir of the Gray family, with whom I had fought and competed like mortal enemies since we were babies!

All due to the scheming of our mothers who sought to bring harmony between our families!

Just the thought of being engaged to Enoch, with whom I exchanged punches and sword strikes whenever our eyes met, made me want to bite my tongue as I arrived at the engagement ceremony, where I encountered an unexpected foe.

“Didn’t you miss me, Inspector?”

“You can’t be!”

Enoch Gray, my enemy in this life, was also my enemy in my previous life.

Enoch, who had regained his memories of our past life, used his sickeningly sweet voice and crazed eyes to try and claim the spot beside me, and his changes gradually disrupted my once quiet surroundings.

“I can’t just stand by and watch to let Sir Gray steal your heart too.”

Starting with my lord, the Crown Prince,

“I tolerated it because it was a formal engagement. I can’t stand seeing you waver toward Sir Gray, Commander.”

Even my lifelong aide began to bare his teeth and guard against Enoch.

Of course, the thing that tormented me the most was,

“After you died like that, Inspector, you don’t know how mad I went. Cherrya, you have no idea.”

Enoch Gray, my enemy in the past life and my rival in this one. It was him. <<less

I possessed the first love of a male lead in a romance novel. ... more>>

And not just that, but as an extra whose family will be destroyed in two years and die!

Originally, my role was to traumatize the male lead and leave.

But I wasn’t too worried. Wouldn’t I be able to escape from this world by dying anyways?

As planned, I prepared to commit su*cide in front of the male lead’s eyes.

I thought it was the perfect way to go home without twisting the original plot…

Until my su*cide attempt failed.

***

The male lead, when we met again after 5 years, looked at me and cried. He told me that he knew I was alive and I pretended not to remember.

What else could the only survivor of a family destroyed for treason do?

“Who are you?”

The male lead said to me, who was desperately acting out memory loss.

“We were married, Lena.”

When did we!! <<less

I became possessed in a R19 novel. My brother is the mad
Emperor of Aragon and I am the villainess and his half sister
who is also a supporting character, Isabella Belucci.... more>>

I thought I’d go back to the original world if I died, so I decided to go out of my way to rebel and get executed by Richard’s hands.
But…

“Why? Why did I not go back?!”

Instead, let’s change the goal this time and safely make Richard the emperor. Then, my path will be a happy ending!
…With that thought, I stole the heroine’s route.

“Does Sasha really think she’s my sister?”

Why does the male lead claim I’m not his sister?

“Sasha is like a snowflake.”

Is the second male lead also clinging to me?

The novel seems to began recognizing me as the heroine. <<less

Before I transmigrated, the s*ave I was obsessed with turned out to be the male lead destined to become the emperor.... more>>

What’s even more absurd is that I’m the villainess—the half-sister of the female lead—who tormented her and was eventually killed by the male lead.

I can’t just die like this.

“Cain, from now on, your master isn’t me—it’s my younger sister, Lilia.”

I thought everything would work out if I just pushed the male and female leads together.

“Lady Lise, you really have a talent for driving people insane.”

“…?”

“I decide who my master is.”

* * *

In the end, the male lead safely became emperor, and I gained my freedom.

I planned to leave as far away as possible—to bid farewell to this damn world for good.

But just as I was about to step outside the city gates—

Clang—

The guards crossed their long spears in an X-shape.

“A warrant has been issued for your arrest.”

“A warrant? By whom…?”

“His Majesty the Emperor ordered it personally.”

Lise felt her vision blur.

Please, just let me go already, Your Majesty! <<less

The lord’s word was law, and the sword was the sky itself.... more>>

A single honest word could lead to a family’s execution.

A single insult could cost someone their tongue.

“I have heard that the martial world is a place where debts of gratitude and vengeance are clear. You, too, will lose someone dear to you.”

A girl who lost her entire family to the tyrannical rule of the lord inherits her father’s martial arts and sets out to defy the heavens. <<less
