On New Year’s Day, a visit to check my fortune led to a bizarre curse. If I fail to have the last word in a conversation, my body will turn to stone—can you believe it?... more>>

I tried to endure it for a year… but then the Duke, a notorious reply villain, appeared.

“Yes, thank you.” “Have a great day!” “May you also have a wonderful day, Count.” “Thank you!” “I’m grateful too.” “No need to respond!” “Count, you don’t need to reply either.”

Didn’t I say you don’t need to reply? Don’t respond! I might be cursed and can’t help it, but what’s your excuse? It seems I might bid the world farewell sooner than expected because of this guy.

But this Duke, does he have unusual tastes?

“From the moment I saw you, my heart was yours.”

Are you talking about that time when I had to shout at everyone to shut up so I could have the last word? That moment when I seemed like a madwoman? Why is that? <<less

They had no choice in their engagement.... more>>

Cedric Lowell, the heir to a duke’s family, hated it.

“I don’t want to marry someone who doesn’t even like me.”

But when he finally met his fiancée—ready to hate her—she was nothing like he expected.

The girl, with calm green eyes, spoke in a bored tone:

“When you become the duke, just send me a letter to break off the engagement.”

Cedric still had four years before he could officially take the title of duke.

“How can I trust you’ll actually break it off?”

“You’re so childish. Do you think all noble girls will chase after you just because you’re a duke’s son?”

“I’m not a kid!”

“You are. A future duke shouldn’t get angry so easily.”

With a faint smile, Eileen held out her hand like she wanted a handshake.

“Let’s get along until the engagement ends. No point being enemies when we’ll keep seeing each other.”

“I don’t want to get along with you.”

Cedric would later deeply regret refusing to shake Eileen Cashier’s hand that day.

“You said we’d break off the engagement. So why do you keep getting involved in my life?”

A noble girl almost caused a scandal between families, but Eileen stepped in and stopped it—she didn’t even get a thank you. Instead, Cedric spoke like that.

Eileen finally snapped.

“I’m worried about you. I’m not jealous of that girl—I’m worried you’ll ruin your whole family over her.”

Cedric looked surprised for the first time, hearing Eileen speak with real anger.

“Cedric Lowell. How can you be so cruel?”

“You…”

Only after hearing the pain in Eileen’s voice did Cedric realize he had made a big mistake.

Of all things, she had to be reborn as a background villain—a character obsessed with the male lead who loves the female lead.

It couldn’t be worse.

‘Well, I’ll just break off the engagement at the right time. Simple.’

Eileen Cashier made a logical choice.

But even someone who could see the future couldn’t control her emotions. <<less

Work as a Call Center agent

Overnight, I became the “servant” of the tyrant male lead in a romantic fantasy novel.

As the only henchman of the tyrant emperor, who changes his women every day, indulging in pleasure…

She has no intention of dying as the original. So, until the tyrant meets the female lead, she has to watch out for herself and run away.

Therefore, she started doing business to earn money for her escape

Saved a few ships to escape across the sea

She searched for the woman who could capture the attention of the tyrant and devoted herself to the education of his concubine.

Whatever the case, the remaining time until the fall of the empire is in one year.

I have to run away quickly.……

Surung—

The cold blade was pulled against my neck.

“Where are you going in such a hurry, Duchess Baloa?”

The tyrant has cut off my escape route. <<less

I was possessed as a villainess from a 19+ novel. A typical role that torments the heroine and leads me to death. ... more>>

I did not want to give up this good family, so I cut ties with the main characters. I spent a hectic time driving out my bastard brother, taking over as heir after him, and developing the top of my family business.

I could confidently say that I lived quietly without any involvement in the original work. Until the male leads started interfering with everything I did one by one.

"It's ridiculous that you don't adore me anymore."

Crown Prince Rexed fueled my reputation as his stalker.

"That's interesting, I want to experiment on you."

Doesn't the magic tower lord Icarus show dangerous desires?

Above all, the strangest thing is Duke Calix, the main male protagonist of the original work.

"I was waiting for you to come to visit me."

"What? I beg your pardon?"

"Now you're finally looking at me."

Why are you looking at me like a puppy waiting for its owner?

It seemed like something was going terribly wrong. Why are the male leads from the original hanging around me? <<less

She spent her entire life sacrificing for her family, only to face the fate of being sold off as a third wife.  ... more>>

The only way to escape this terrible situation? 

Marriage.  

I refuse to live like a pushover anymore!  

Then, an angelic newcomer suddenly appears in the dreary, lifeless Magic Department.  

Handsome, kind, and with a flawless personality.  

But why is he so determined to pursue me?  

"From now on, have lunch with me only."  

"Quit working overtime… Spend the rest of your time with me."  

"Senior, will you go on a date with me again tomorrow?"  

Falling in love with this pure-hearted newcomer who only had eyes for her, she ended up getting married at lightning speed.  

Finally free from her hellish family, she thought she could now enjoy a peaceful, happy life.  

But… 

Her sweet and affectionate husband turns out to be the insane Third Prince?!  

This is a fraudulent marriage! <<less

“I need money.”... more>>

Her family went bankrupt and was completely ruined.

She went to the residence of the blind Duke, the male protagonist in the novel, desperate for money.

“How is life at the Duke’s castle?”

“I am living very comfortably, thanks to the great consideration of His Excellency the Duke.”

“You think it’s nice living here? Then, let’s get engaged.”

Now, what does liking living in the Duke’s residence have to do with getting engaged??

“Congratulations. Now you’ll be able to continue living in a place you like.”

“Could I possibly have the right to refuse, by any chance?”

Marin asked cautiously, with trembling eyes.

I hope I do. Please. <<less

I was reincarnated as an extra in a world that would soon be destroyed.... more>>

I did not know who I was.

With the mentality of only seeking my own way of life, I decided to run away inheriting a mansion as a dowry. So, I took the gardener who tended the flowers in our house and we had the ceremony.

“Liddell, wasn’t it hard today?”

“Liddell, do you want to eat first?”

“It’s the weekend, why not go out together?”

Doing a good job, looking only at me! I thought I could have a happy marriage because I would make money and do my best.

“Why did you marry a man who had no position, no wealth, no power?”

My former fiancé, who broke off the engagement out of the blue, who now shows up and claims me, asked me.

“…Liddell. Is your marriage going well?”

“Absolutely, what could be wrong?”

“Why, after marriage, was your husband different from what I thought he was… Wasn’t he normal?”

Why does my former fiancé ask me this?

Moreover, my husband, whom I only considered docile.

“Hisch, just… What is that?”

He hid his hand behind his back while holding a monster the size of a house and with a tearful expression, he said:

“But, for Liddell…to get hurt, I hate it.”

I married because I wanted to live a normal life, but the identity of my modest husband is the most suspicious. <<less

I possessed the body of the heroine in a regret-filled story. The real daughter, yet treated as a fake—destined to die miserably. The fools around me were only supposed to realize the truth and regret it after my death.... more>>

But—

Now that I know the truth, should I still live like a pushover?

No way.

I decided to be cunning to avoid living like a tragic heroine.

If they pretended to be pitiful, I would act even more pitiful. If they falsely accused me, I would feign innocence and turn the tables. Using my past life’s acting skills, I twisted the story however I pleased… and suddenly, everyone started acting strangely?

“I want to fix our relationship, even now. Will you return to the family?”

My family, who never regretted anything before my death, suddenly clung to me, crying.

“Ayla… I finally realized. I truly love you.”

Even my ex-fiancé started making heartfelt love confessions.

“Ayla, you saved my life. I want to dedicate the rest of it to you.”

Why is the sub-male lead, who I only meant to use temporarily, acting like this now?

Please, stop. I never intended to drag your lives into my revenge. <<less

When she came back to life, she became an extra in a novel. Living in the cruel emperor’s palace as a villainess concubine, her throat was cut because she tormented the heroine!... more>>

What should I do at this moment?

Get close to the heroine? No.

Get close to the male lead? No, not that either.

Survive to have long and fine life? Damn right, I will!

Three years have passed since she lived peacefully as an outsider of the Imperial City. As long as the novel ends with a happy ending, she thought she could be free.

“Who are you…”

“Servant.”

…What?

“I’ll listen to you.”

“Huh?”

“I’ll listen to whatever you say. Can we live together then?”

The servant who came into my easy life.

I live a happy life with him. Sometimes he’s a kind servant, and other times, a dear friend…The problem is, I can’t seem to take my eyes off him when he smiles saucily and flirtatiously with those red eyes.

…Is it because of my feelings? <<less

I was overwhelmed and frightened by the eerie eyes that sank lower and lower.

“I-it was actually a pressure interview. Pass.”

She had possessed ‘Grace’, an ugly Duchess who never appeared directly in the novel.... more>>

The problem is that this role was scheduled to die soon, and her husband Benjamin was a likely suspect.

Grace wanted to live properly at least once.

To do that, there was something she had to solve.

“Let’s get a divorce.”

Benjamin, who was a sub-male lead in the original work, loved the protagonist, Aria, not his wife.

It was probably because of Aria that he killed Grace.
