Just four years ago, Rustica Genas was the most gifted knight in the Caleta Empire and one of the emperor’s most trusted servants. But after challenging his will one too many times, all of her fame, glory, and power were stripped from her. Then what can poor Rustica do but shamefully fade into obscurity? Well, when the rival empire’s ruler sets his sights on winning her heart and freedom, she might have a chance to reclaim more than just her reputation. What could be waiting for her just beyond the Great Barrier?... more>>

She retired at the age of twenty-one, having lost everything.

Her swordsmanship, her magic, and even her physical strength disappeared without explanation. Rustica Genas is a former genius knight who fled the Caleta Empire to live a quiet life in the countryside, away from the ridicule and finger-pointing.

Until one day, she spots an impossibly handsome man in a local tavern, and in her drunken stupor, she does something she shouldn’t have done.

“If you take someone’s first time you’re responsible for it for the rest of your life.”

He had a great face and body, but not a very good head.

“Do you really think you lost all your powers for no reason?”

The man in front of her was the Emperor of a neighboring country. He smirked, as if he knew what he was talking about.

“By the way, are you sure you don’t remember me? We’ve met before.”

Where have Rue’s memories and powers gone? And how long is this man going to keep chasing her? Either way, it was clear that her idea of a one-night stand followed by a clean break had now gone completely out the window. <<less

Adam Ross, an omega from a fallen noble family, lives alone with his younger sister.... more>>

But when his sister is admitted to a hospital for long-term care, Adam finds himself in desperate need of more money.

Just then, a sympathetic nobleman brings up an unexpected proposal.

“I’ve heard the Dukes of the Carlisle family are looking for an omega.”

The Carlisle Dukes—descendants of the house that built the current empire into a great power.

At the helm of the prestigious Carlisle family are the two brothers: Isaac Carlisle, the elder, and Chester Carlisle, the younger.

Praised as the most noble siblings in history, the two uniquely inherited the title of duke together and jointly govern their territory.

Now, they’re seeking strong and healthy omegas to bear an heir.

“You understand the terms of the contract, don’t you?”

“Yes. It’s a contract to bear the heir of the Carlisle family.”

After much deliberation, Adam eventually steps into the ducal bedchamber—for the sake of his sister.

And so begins his dangerous contract with the Carlisle brothers.

“You must sleep with both of us—so much that even you won’t know whose child you’re carrying. Over and over again.”

Isaac Carlisle, the man who sees Adam as nothing more than a tool to produce an heir.

“s*x isn’t a duty to me. It’s more like… a game.”

Chester Carlisle, the charming yet arrogant man who makes Adam feel shame with his words alone.

Adam, who had lived a quiet and modest life until now, finds his fate irrevocably changed after meeting the two dukes— <<less

He got a beautiful toy to play with during the boring summer.... more>>

That summer was the hottest since the young Emperor Iskandar ascended the throne.

The servants of the summer palace were frightened to serve him as he had his first summer vacation as an emperor.

An arrogant monarch, a ruthless oppressor, a cruel and beautiful disaster.

This is because the words of the new emperor are as brilliant as and as sharp as iron.

A new toy came into his eyes.

It was around the time when he got tired of hunting in the summer forest and even luxurious entertainment.

Senita.

It's like a sordid maid with charcoal black on her apron.

She was a bold woman who dared not avoid the emperor's gaze.

She talks about old memories with distant eyes and was also a dreamer who gave great meaning to trivial things.

So it was good. She looked interesting.

He thought it would be okay to play with that poor woman throughout this hot and boring summer.

Because he wanted to, Iskandar did so.

Everything was so easy. Because he was a man of great ability to screw up. <<less

It started with a chance encounter. On that day, which only had the cold scent unique to winter, The relationship with him, who offered unwanted kindness, began like that.... more>>

“Shall I light it for you?”

“……Ah.”

“I’m good at lighting lighters.”

“…….”

“The wind is blowing a lot, so I wanted to help.”

Despite being a stranger. Without knowing me at all. Even so, I felt an impulse to tease this bold young boy. So, I thought I would play along with him for a while, like a moth drawn to a flame, without knowing who he was.

Until I heard the sound of piano keys played by this kid, who seemed more like a physical education student than a music student, and who had never even kissed anyone.

“……Have you been leaking it like this elsewhere too?”

“What?”

“Your pheromones. Even after becoming my partner, have you been leaking your pheromones around?”

“…….” <<less

An utterly useless, pathetic F-Rank older brother who only drags down his successful S-Rank younger brother.... more>>

After living a messed-up life, eventually dragging even my brother's life down with me, I was given the title after my regression:

'Perfect Nurturer.'

Fine, this time, I'll just stay quiet and support those brilliant guys from the shadows.

Or so I thought, but the S-Ranks are acting a little strange. <<less

I was reincarnated as the villainess, Daphne, whose death was set in stone. I didn’t want to die nor be sold. ... more>>

Let’s twist the original story.
With that in mind, I won the female lead’s favor and made the male lead the crown prince.
All right, I thought the only thing left was to walk on the flowery path.

‘Goodbye, my sister. You were really useful.’

...Despite my efforts, the male lead betrayed me. I, who had regressed to the age of 13, made a pledge.
‘I will surely make the filthy royal family and that bastard, the male lead, crawl on the floor.’

“I’ll sponsor you.”
As a result, I decided to sponsor the ultimate villain.

*

Everything went well until I decided to sponsor the villain.

“Come here, my lovely child.”
After saving the terminally ill father-in-law, why did he become so friendly?

“Milady! I brought you a duck..., your lunch is flying awayyy!!”
“I heard this is good for your body!!!”
“Milady, I have brought a bear for you!”
“Everyone, get out of here.”

What is it about me that the people here adore so much?

“Ah, you pretended you didn’t know when you actually knew?”

Also, why is it so fun to tease the ultimate villain, who I was so afraid of in my previous life?
It occurred to me that everyone here wouldn’t be bothered by my departure later, so I left them in peace.

“Where are you going, Daphne?”

I was mistaken. <<less
