I found myself being possessed by the character ‘Riett’, the childhood friend of the male protagonist Evan, from a romance novel I had read before I died.... more>>

The problem is that in the original story, when the female lead appears, Riett is discarded by Evan like an insignificant side character.

"Evan, you jerk."

Knowing that the ending would be tragic if Riett falls in love with the male lead, my relationship with Evan naturally turned into a rivalry and resentment.

As expected, the female lead finally appeared, and I thought this tiresome relationship would come to an end…

But then, caught up in a conspiracy and forced into exile, I coincidentally met Evan in a place of refuge.

"Our fate is truly stubborn, isn't it, Evan?"

"It is."

"All that growling at each other, you must have been fed up too."

"Yeah, it was tiresome."

"...So let's end this fate, just like that. That's what you want, too, isn't it?"

"No."

Unexpectedly, Evan, whom I thought would say "Yeah", responded with an expressionless face. His eyes looked sorrowful for some reason.

"You..."

"..."

"Do you really think we coincidentally met today?"

It was a completely unexpected remark. <<less

[Don’t forget, you’re mine. Until your very last breath. ]
Archangel Arundel was on the verge of being banished from heaven. She gets one last chance from the Lord.... more>>

”Arundel. Stop the mad Emperor and don’t let him destroy the Empire. Arrange an uprising, drive him out or kill him. Or tame him.”

Accepting the offer, Arundel becomes Empress, and is hated by the beautiful but cruel Emperor Zion.

“I thought you were s*upid, but you have no pride.”

Arundel did not back down despite his cold gaze. No, she couldn’t back down.

The tug-of-war to tame him has already begun.

***

Zion worried that the Empress had changed. Without realizing it, he looked for her with his eyes. He became more and more dependent on her, denying his confused feelings.

Very cruel.

“Don’t forget, you’re mine.”

Zion looked at Arundel with mad eyes.

“Until your very last breath.” <<less

“If Nelia isn’t here, I would change again.”... more>>

Nelia didn’t expect it.
That she would be entangled with Duke Hart, the cruel villain of this world, as well as the most beautiful man in the empire.

But…… He was so different from what others thought of him.

“The dessert is for Nelia.”
“I prepared the best bed for you.”

Is this person really the villain of the original story?
He’s too kind to become something like that.
Sometimes, it feels like she’s actually raising him.

And to make things worse, she came to learn about his deadly secret……

Ah… What should she do, then?

***

Nelia asked Duke Hart.

“What if I say I like another man?”
“I will have to get rid of him.”
“How do you get rid of him?”
“That’s a secret.”

Although the beautiful smile still remained on his face, his eyes became a bit sharper than before.

“Even if Nelia doesn’t take a liking toward me, I have no other choice than this. Therefore, I will try my best to make you like me.”

The cool touch brushed against Nelia’s cheek.

“However…… Do not presume that you like other men. It hurts a bit even if you are just saying it.” <<less
