My child died.... more>>

The man who was both my first love and the father of my child was heartless to the very end.

"That child was a mistake from the very beginning."

My first marriage, which was filled with nothing but pain, ended with my death.

But in this second life, I made a vow.

'I’ll give birth to my daughter and leave. That’s all I need.'

To meet my child once more, however, I needed him.

“You’ll cling to me, even if you despise me to your very core.”

I have no intention of begging for your love again. Once I have my child, everything between us will be over.

"You... You’re not like this."

Arianna whispered, her voice trembling and her tears held back only by her bitten lip.

"My daughter isn’t your child. So why—"

“It doesn’t matter. She’s yours, isn’t she?"

His dark, lifeless teal eyes locked onto hers, burning with suffocating possessiveness as though he would consume her whole.

"You belong to me. And so does your child." <<less

Lowly shepherd. Illegitimate daughter. Disgraceful duchess.... more>>

Although she had married her beloved Duke Izar, Freesia lived as though she was trapped at the bottom of a bleak, hapless abyss.

Her family took complete advantage of her, and the people of the duchy hated her for being a stain on the household’s honor.

And then there was her husband, Izar.

Even after she had suffered a miscarriage, he remained cold.

“To be born to parents like us—happiness would forever elude that child.”

At Freesia’s funeral, he had shed not a single tear.

But Freesia wished for one last thing.

Please, cry for me.

Shed even a single tear.

Dearly, I hope that your feelings might change.

Even if it means living for just one more year, that’s fine.

Once that time has passed, then.

Come and cry at my funeral.

*

For the first time, Freesia dared to glare at this man.

The dreadful document in her hand fell to the ground.

“How could you do something so cruel to me, to treat me worse than an animal!”

She was mistaken.

She thought, finally, this man held affection for her. That he trusted her.

That, perhaps… it could even be love.

But it was nothing like that. He deceived her.

“You ruined my life.”

There were only five months left before her demise. <<less

She was the Diamond of the Empire, and the Beau Monde’s China doll.... more>>

‘Dolores Rochester’ believed she’d everything in life. Perfect looks, men who’d do anything to catch her eye, and a loving crown prince husband.

“Dolly…you dared to marry me knowing you were barren?”

But her perfect life was instantly ruined by just one flaw. Her loving husband took the child he bore with her cousin as his heir, and her family left her to suffer.

It was only after miraculously regressing to the time before her marriage did she realise. One mistake was enough. She didn’t need any more futile love.

‘All that remains is a calm and perfect revenge.’

And so, this time, Dolores chose her husband’s half brother. The beast of the empire, ‘Grand Duke Lesrexion Lancaster.’ With their marriage of convenience, the two of them would obtain everything they desired.

However.

“Oh, I’d like to add one more condition to the contract, Your Highness.”

“What more could there be?”

“Don’t fall in love with me.”

“Seems like this China doll has big dreams, Dolly.”

This contract marriage wasn’t going to be easy.

“Why did it have to be you? Because you were the most pitiful and cheapest option.”... more>>

She met her so-called savior in the ruined marriage market after her family fell from grace.

Lucas, her husband and a successful businessman, was devoted to Cordelia throughout their marriage—

That is, until the day of their anniversary, when he revealed the truth.

“Did you really have to bankrupt the count’s family?”

“It had to hit rock bottom for a lowly commoner like me to even get close to a noble lady like you.”

The man she thought was her savior turned out to be the very one who destroyed her family.

But instead of remorse, he remained brazen.

“You know what? Being that s*upid is practically an illness.”

She loved him too much to forgive.

And just when she resolved to leave him, Cordelia recovers a memory she had lost in an accident.

“I would do anything for you, my lady.”

She finally learns the true reason why her husband approached her…

A love disguised as a false salvation.

And Cordelia’s downfall is far from over. <<less

After overcoming fierce competition, I proudly passed the exams to become a palace official. Having suffered through a tough life as an office worker in my past life, I hope this time I’ll be assigned to a good department! ... more>>

However,

“I’ve checked all the typos and the format too.”

“You’ve got no sense! Who would read this if it’s all written down like this?”

“Then would you prefer to look at the visual materials instead?”

Did I come across as too much of a rookie with experience?

“Miss Lowell, you’ll have to go to the BM-RP Department.”

Instead of the original female protagonist, I’m assigned to the worst department for work-life balance?!

“Lowell, you’re truly the best talent. You’re perfect in every way.”

“We had a deal to be together every day. So why are you saying you’re not around?”

“From now on, call me by name. In your mind and in front of others.”

As the male lead candidates become obsessed with me.

“You possess divine powers!”

And even the secret of my birth is revealed?

Uhm.

As expected, the answer is to quit! <<less
