“Princess, you have to marry me.”... more>>

Sieghart Aschart.

The man who appeared out of nowhere one day effortlessly turned my life upside down.

With just one kind word, one graceful gesture—

I couldn’t help but fall in love with him.

Not realizing that love was nothing but a lie.

Ten times.

I gave up my life again and again, trying to escape from misery.

And each time, I came back.

“There’s no way that child is mine. Unless the princess had it with another man.”

“Isn’t it about time you realized? I never loved you.”

As I kept turning back time, my eleventh life began.

“Let’s get married.”

Back to the moment Sieghart first proposed.

But the man standing before me this time…

He had changed—strangely so.

“Natasha, there’s no way for you to escape me.”

“…”

“If that’s what you want… I will. Because I want you—even if you hate me with all your heart.”

As if trying to win back the woman who had already let him go. <<less

I possessed the body of the twin sister who was set to marry the duke in place of the missing heroine. A fate doomed to end in tragedy—never once receiving love and ultimately being killed once the heroine returned. And not just by anyone, but by the very parents I adored!... more>>

To survive, I needed a protector until the heroine came back. The most suitable candidate was Ersivan Valencia, the male lead of this story—someone who despised me yet still found me useful. My plan was simple: conceal my true identity, let the marriage be finalized, and then, once the wedding night had passed, propose a deal.

But then—

"Go on, speak."

"...Pardon?"

"Tell me your real name."

"What are you talking about...?"

How had he seen through me?

"At the very least, I should know the name of the woman I am about to share a bed with, don’t you think, my lady?"

And of all times—right before our wedding night.

Soon, the heroine, Lillian, would appear. It was inevitable that Ersivan, her destined partner, would fall for her. Diana had to be prepared for it.

"Your Highness, if you ever fall in love with someone, please be sure to tell me."

"I will. But in return, my lady, you must promise me the same. If you ever come to love someone, you must tell me without fail."

And yet—

"Do you understand, my beloved Diana?"

There was something unsettling in the way his gentle gaze gleamed dangerously.

'That way, I can make sure to kill your lover.'

Something about this felt terribly, terribly wrong. <<less

She wanted to be loved. That was all. But her father was infinitely indifferent, and her brother was terribly cynical.... more>>

“My lovely sister, Ebony. I love you the most in the world.”

In this cruel world, the only person who saved her was her only close friend and adoptive sister, Irene… .

“Thanks to you, you idiot, I stole their lives too easily. Thank you, I won’t forget this favor.”

Even that was a deception.

‘If there is a next life, I will give them despair.’

She stabbed her heart with the dagger Irene gave her, putting an end to her lonely unrequited love.

***

Ebony, who had been given a second chance, no longer worked hard for worthless things. She only wanted to return the wounds she had received to the other person.

“I want to marry you, Your Majesty.”

Diego Magnus. A beautiful man who made the air denser just by looking at him. Ebony dared to propose to the man with cold eyes.

“Why do you want to marry me?”

“Your Majesty, you were someone’s brilliant world.”

To get my hands on the man who was my sister’s first love and her brilliant world. <<less

When my husband returned home after a long time, he was with another woman.... more>>

Even without an introduction, Chloe knew who she was.

The kingdom's Cinderella.

Her husband's first love and the woman who was supposed to be his wife.

"You know how much I love Helena. I've played the role of your husband without any issues for the past year, so now let me live my life."

Claiming to reclaim his lost life, he shamelessly continued his affair.

***

"Family, friends, honor... Losing everything, the princess has lived a truly unfortunate life."

The voice that once masqueraded as a friend was now utterly absent.

Chloe inadvertently looked up, shrinking at that hard tone.

She was met with eyes containing an obsession only a beast might have.

The deep emotions conveyed by those red eyes were unlike anything Chloe had ever felt before.

"If that woman is the kingdom's Cinderella, then I'll make you the Cinderella of the century."

"......"

"So come to me, Princess."

For I will give the empire to the princess.

Perhaps because she had become more sensitive to stimuli,

Chloe felt as if she heard the words the other person shouted in his heart. <<less
