To bring back the person I love, I turned back time, and now I have a limited life.... more>>

I have only one year left.

Within that time, I must make him happy and then leave.

I thought, ‘If I connect him with the woman he loved in the past, he will be happy,’ I worked hard to bridge the gap between them.

But something went wrong.

“Please marry me, just for one year.”

Why is he proposing a contract marriage to me…?

“I have no intention of having more than one wife.”

He grabbed my wrist. The distance between us felt threatening like the flickering red shadow closing in.

“What I mean is, you will be my first and last, Charlotte.” <<less

“The Zeller Duchy is no more, Adeline.”... more>>

The family that had been my entire life had fallen.

And it was by the hands of the men I once trusted.

With the collapse of the household, I was cast down the stairs, and somehow, I returned to the past.

This is my chance.

A chance to change the fate of the Zeller family.

I quickly devised a plan.

“Where are you going, Milady?”

“To get rid of things that are of no use to my life.”

I would reform the villainous men who had brought ruin to my family.

* * *

Everything seemed to be going smoothly—

Until I realized the way they looked at me was different from before.

“Say you want me, Adeline. Then no matter what tricks you play, I’ll turn a blind eye.”

“I can do anything for you, my lady. Just grant me the right to have you.”

“Renée, sit on my lap. Yes, just like when we were young… Now, kiss me.”

The danger was no longer to the duchy.

It was that they wanted me. <<less

To Niveia, the world seemed like an eternal winter. Her parents and maids had given her the cold shoulder ever since she was a baby. When she fell down in the snow, no one spared her a glance. It was truly a dreadful winter.... more>>

While living day to day like a doll on a display shelf, Niveia was engaged as part of a prenatal agreement between her father and her fiance’s father. Her fiance was a Wistash. Duke Valor Wistash.

As in the prelude to every tragedy, it all began with a damned love.

“Love has its moments. You missed them all, and now I don’t love you anymore.”

Niveia said to her fiance who had never once looked at her for the past decade, then left the Empire for the neighbouring country where she was welcomed with open arms.

She didn’t expect anything there and was simply planning to live quietly but the Emperor’s attitude towards her was exceedingly friendly.

“I want you to be happy. You can wish for anything and do as you please. I want to give you a season where you don’t have to be constantly wary of other people.”

After meeting Arendt, Niveia’s winter began to overflow… into spring as the snow began to melt. <<less

A life lived solely for the sake of the family.... more>>

I couldn’t hope for anything, and I didn’t have anything.

I thought it would be enough if I could just devote myself to the family.

What returned at the end of that devotion was a dreadful death.

“You dare not to know your place and covet the family’s guardian magic, so pay it back with your life."

That’s how I died.

But that’s not bad either. Death is eternal rest.

I think I can rest now.….

“Are you up, miss?”

……my rest is gone?

* * *

After learning that I had returned to a year ago, I decided.

‘I’m going to die as soon as possible.’

However, it is not easy to die because of the family’s guardian magic. So I went to find a man.

The head of a family that that is hostile to the family I devoted my life to.

The only one who can break through the guardian magic and kill me.

“Hello, the weather is nice. It’s always cold in the capital, but I think it’s a little warm these days.”

So…

“Would you mind killing me?” <<less

The Duke's lost daughter has returned.... more>>

The birth of a child living with poor treatment in a nursery school was discovered belatedly.

Everyone embraced her and greeted her with open arms.

But I, the person in charge, wasn't happy at all.

Because this place wasn't mine.

* * *

Be me and... Live up to my part."

My friend who died after leaving those words was the princess of the nursery school where I live.

However, the fragile child was unable to survive the winter, when the cold wave was extremely harsh.

On the verge of death, what she told me was the secret of her birth.

I went to a man with her belongings.

The father of my friend, and the only duke in this country, who lost his daughter.

“I am the daughter of the Duke.”

For the first time, I spoke a lie I had never said before.

It didn't matter even if the truth was revealed, and she was denounced as a villain.

I wish I could give her everything she wanted. <<less

“Say hello, Ravia. He’s going to be your brother.”... more>>

A silver-haired man, whom my father brought in one day and called the son of a distant relative.
He was the man who would take everything from me.

My position, my family, and even my life. I am an extra, but I am desperate to regain what was taken from me, and I was destined to die for him.

‘In fact, he’s not a distant relative or anything.’

It didn’t matter.
As long as he’s the male lead, there’s nothing he can’t do as he pleases.
All I could do was play as a sweet sister for me to survive.

“I want to get along with you, Tidwell.”

I was going to run away as soon as the male lead started suspecting me. But, something’s wrong.

“Sister. Are you going to throw me away, too?”

I thought he was just suspicious of me, but what is this obsession?

“You shouldn’t have taken me into your arms if you were going to leave like this.” <<less

"Would you like to marry me by contract, Your Highness the Princess?"
The illegitimate princess who no one wants, Odette.
The day she tried to find the right person and propose a contract marriage to avoid a terrible marriage,... more>>

The Duke of Ertmann offered her a contract marriage, whom she thought she would never have a relationship with for the rest of her life.
One of the terms of the contract he offered.
"Love me. If you can't, try your best to make them believe it."
That you love me terribly, so much, that I can live in vain dreams.

Reluctantly, she accepted the marriage, but her doubts did not go away.
Why the hell did he want me? And… why are you looking at me with such sad eyes? <<less

I reincarnated as a side character maid in a reverse harem game. Even after going through all six endings of the game, I still couldn’t return back to reality.... more>>

So then I made up my mind on the seventh round—

“Here is my letter of resignation. I’m leaving this mansion.”

—to quit the game and live my own life.

* * *

No matter how hard I tried, I was just an extra. I no longer wanted to dwell on the tragedy of the characters in the game.

Since I don’t hold much importance here anyway, I thought everyone would forget about me if I left quietly.

However…

“Who’s leaving the mansion? Didn’t you say you were mine, Irene?”
“Irene, I have no intention of becoming involved with anyone but you. Just you.”
“Don’t go, Rea. Stay by my side. Please?”

The men in the game, who should be obsessed with the female lead, suddenly began to cling to me, but…

I don’t want to love anyone anymore. <<less
