It turns out I was the female lead of a regret novel. And right now is apparently the period when the male lead and my family from the regret novel are accumulating bad karma! ... more>>

‘Wow, did they really torment me this much? That’s harsh.’

But it’s fine. In my past life, I had over 10 years of experience working in various service jobs, so I can handle pretty much any difficult person with a soulless attitude!

“Giselle, I can’t tolerate your insolent words and behavior. I told you to be quiet.”

“Ah, really. Okay, I get it.”

“What?”

“Just like Madam Mariposa said, I’m filthy, so I’ll just wrap myself in a tr*sh bag and go bury myself underground right now. What’s the point of someone like me living anyway?”

I just decided to cut ties with the family that tormented me and become stronger than the male leads—

“Giselle Florette. I would like you to become my wife publicly.”

The villain, Duke Kalinos, proposed I act as his wife?

“The compensation is 5 billion gold per year.”

“I will serve you well.”

“Please act like a completely awful person. So that all my family will be repelled by marriage.”

Being a troublemaker was the easiest thing in the world! Roger that!

* * *

As per the contract, I visited everyone in the villain’s family every day and acted like a troublemaker.

“Get lost right now. Where else would you find such an indecisive mistress of the house? You’re nothing but a hindrance to our family!”

“Yesss~♡”

“A-Are you not even angry?

“I’m not angry at a~ll and I’m so~ excited~♡"

But then, the people in the villain’s family are starting to get attached to me?

“Giselle, why haven’t you been visiting lately? Are you busy? I baked a pie for you.”

Even the villain’s grandfather who’s supposed to be incredibly stubborn.

“Lady Giselle is the only true mistress of our family!”

Even the villain’s family members who are extremely wary of outsiders.

“Everyone back off! I’m going to marry Big Sis!”

…Even the villain’s nephew, who’s supposed to indescribably prickly. But most importantly—

“No way. Sorry, but Giselle is my wife.”

The villain’s condition seems the strangest of all, right? <<less

Airi, a lively 5-year-old child raised lovingly by her grandmother. ... more>>

One day, after collapsing from overeating and waking up...

She suddenly remembered her past life as a righteous K-child (a Taekwondo belt-holder)?

"Wait, I’m supposed to save the world?!"

No problem, I can totally do this!

Starting with these naughty kids!

“You can’t speak to your friend so rudely!”

“What? Ha! Like a tiny little thing like you can do anything...”

So, I delivered the 'Hectopascal Kick' I learned from Master Kyung-hye at the Taekwondo dojo.

“Aaagh!”

“Don’t mess around!”

That’s right.

This former K-child was strong (physically).

Very, very strong.

***

Declan Ortezo (33), the mighty (and villainous) Grand Duke who governs the northern region.

The youngest daughter, Airi, whom he met again, seemed highly suspicious.

“Please take good care of me, elder.”

...Am I not your dad, but ‘elder’ to you now?

And when I tried to warn her about her reckless behavior—

“I’ll make you eat broccoli. And the bitter, awful-tasting mugwort, too!”

“Gasp! I love broccoli so much! And mugwort smells delightful!”

Her tastes were way too mature for a child, making it impossible to reason with her.

“I trust you’ve been well, my dear father?”

“Ah, you even know proper etiquette. As expected, you’re so smart...

…Both Grandma and Grandpa looked at her with pride and satisfaction.

No, is it just me who finds all of this strange? <<less

Big Sis, it’s me, Coco!... more>>

My name is Coco.

I’m a cool puppy with white, fluffy fur.

“If there’s a next life, be born as my daughter, okay?”

After living my life with my sister, I crossed the rainbow bridge.

“Gasp! Sister is always crying after my death!”

No! Our sister’s happy life must be protected by this brave dog!

…And so, I crossed the rainbow bridge once more and was reincarnated as a five-year-old adopted daughter in my sister’s family.

But it’s not easy to get close to her.

“I hate meeting people—it’s tiring. Soon, I’m going to close the doors of the mansion.”

I quickly raised my short little hands,

and drew the biggest circle I could manage.

“I’m this strong!”

So please, Sister… can’t you be friends with me again?

*

I felt a little down because I couldn’t reveal my identity as Sister’s puppy or get closer to her.

But I’m a former brave puppy, and now a clever little schemer!

I’m going to work hard to win over Sister and her family so we can be a real family.

“If you want something, say it. You saved a great spirit beast, so you deserve a reward.”

“…Third, I want you to play ball with me. Fourth, I want you to swim with me. Fifth, I want you to give me lots of sweet potatoes. Sixth, I want you to make sweet potato cakes with me in the kitchen. And seventh, I want you to let me eat the chocolate you never let me eat before…”

“You pulled off one great deed and now you’re trying to squeeze everything out of me…?”

“Yes!”

“You’re… an ambitious brat.”

I even talked back smartly to Sister’s dad and got noticed!

Step by step, I grew closer to my sister and her family.

And finally, the day came to reveal who I truly was.

“My Coco, you and I are going to be together for a hundred years, okay? Promise.”

“…I’m not saying this because I like you or anything, but… when you’re over twenty, uh, l-let’s get engaged. Not because I like you or anything! Don’t get the wrong idea!”

My sister and her family, and even my childhood friends…

They all seem to have a serious case of separation anxiety.

But the truth is…

When I turn ten, I’ll have to return to Puppy Star. <<less
