Lily, a maid assigned to clean the main estate of the Duke of Kashimir, realizes something shocking: the rumors of a ghost haunting the estate are true! She tries to pretend she hasn’t seen anything and flee, but, ... more>>

[“You can see me, can’t you?”]

“Eek! D-Duke?!”

The ghost turns out to be none other than the young master of the house, Duke Aiden Kashimir, who lies unconscious in bed. With his sorrowful gaze, sweet voice, and manipulative offers of compensation, Lily is eventually roped into becoming his unofficial assistant, spirit interpreter, confidante, and handler of classified ducal secrets.

But the Duke is way too protective of his assistant!

[“And say this next.”]

“He says to say this next.”

[‘Cut that rude attitude immediately and show her the respect she deserves.’]

“…”

[‘Should I repeat it for you if you’ve forgotten?’]

The ghostly employer can’t stand seeing his assistant treated poorly. As the only person who can communicate with him, Lily becomes the center of his growing obsession.

[“If Wolfram is the problem, I’ll drop a chandelier on him or topple a bookshelf, whatever it takes to stop him from threatening you…”]

“Y-Your Grace, I’m sorry, but that kind of all-out-violence solution is terrifying!”

Eventually, he even resorts to force to win Lily’s heart. But can Lily bring this runaway ghost duke back to his original self? <<less

I was transmigrated into a parenting game, ⌈My Little Noah⌋.... more>>

Into a little villainess who only knows how to elegantly slap others' cheeks.

But... what's going on here?

SLAP!

[The pain from the villainess becomes joy. If you want to raise someone's abilities, hit them.]

I just hit those who tried to block my path,

And I got a stinging growth buff that can turn them into helpers!

"Come here. Just take ten hits from me."

So I decided.

To educate those who interfere with Noah and me with my fists.

Calliphe, who was raising her filial piety score by helping Noah through this ability.

To obtain the 'helpers' essential for parenting,

She approaches Duke Lynen Ortega.

"You want to get rid of your magic thirst?"

"Can you solve it?"

"Let my hands hit you first, then decide."

She must avoid the death ending route at all costs.

To see the survival ending, she swings her fierce hands—

The struggling parenting method of the villainess Calliphe. <<less

[Was it you, the woman who killed my sister?] ... more>>

When I regained memories of my past life, I found myself as the main character in a tragic novel. A woman who killed her husband's mistress—only to be brutally mu*dered by the mistress's younger brother.

I only saved that woman to avoid him.

"You are my sister’s savior? Then please, stay as long as you need. Until you find a place to live after your divorce, consider this mansion your home."

I ended up entangled with the very man who was meant to kill me—with a sword pressed against my throat.

If marriage was a grave, then I had to walk out of it, even in death.

"So, a child from a vulgar, low-class upstart family has joined this prestigious family of scholars."

"If you can't even understand that a man sleeping with other women a few times is normal, what are you going to do?"

"Sister, he says he loves me. Could you give him to me?"

From my mother-in-law’s cruelty, my husband’s betrayal, to my younger sister’s deceit—divorce was my only choice.

After the divorce, I planned to leave as promised.

But when did things start to change?

"Tell me the truth. Stop hiding behind that smile, like you always do."

"……"

"Are you going to cry alone again?"

The man who had always been as cold as the northern wind… had begun to look at me with warmth, like a gentle breeze. <<less

The cherished youngest daughter of the Estern Duchy, Beatrice, was thoroughly satisfied with the husband she had chosen for herself.... more>>

“I never realized that having a wife would be such a bothersome thing…”

That is, until she happened to overhear her husband casually utter those words to his lieutenant.

“It feels like Caesar doesn’t love me anymore. What should I do, Sister?”

In an effort to uncover her beloved husband’s true feelings, Beatrice seeks advice from each of her four older sisters in turn.

“Are you suggesting we sleep in separate rooms? …Very well. Do as you wish.”

But for some reason, every time she follows their advice, the situation only seems to get worse.

Amid misguided counsel and growing misunderstandings, will Beatrice be able to win back her husband’s love? <<less

“In the village where I lived, there’s a saying that the tears of a white crow are a panacea.”... more>>

To cure her father’s illness, Yeohwa headed to Yeongmyosan (山君), the mountain of death.

What awaited her there was the betrayal of her family and the brink of death.

The mountain god, Baekoh, discovers Yeohwa dying, trapped in a pit.

“You’ve brought back something strange.”

“I couldn’t leave her in the god’s land.”

“But what are you supposed to do bringing back a corpse?”

“Seeing as she isn't dead, I think she has a connection with us.”

Baekoh's gaze glanced over the limp female body.

“Fine. Whether it's a good connection or a bad one, we’ll see.”

He took the hand of the woman burning with fever.

In that instant, the woman's heat began to absorb his coldness.

It was a moment of freedom from the chill that had plagued him his entire life.

‘This is like an offering just for me.’

Baekoh grasped the small hand, a dangerously alluring smile on his face. <<less

“I am Lady Glasster, treat me accordingly!”... more>>

Aiden Fitzroy, the illegitimate child of the former emperor bearing the scars of war, and Anje Glasster, forced into an unwanted marriage,

“Now, aren’t you Mrs Fitzroy? Moreover, I’m not spending time with you because I like it.”

A farm surrounded by nature, a quaint rural village, and everything that doesn’t suit her taste. Among them, the worst is Aiden, who treats her like a pest.

“Just wait, I’ll deceive you and escape from this farm!”

But at some point, both his attitude and her feelings begin to change.

****

“So what you’re saying is that you didn’t think I was beautiful before, but you do now?”

“Ah……No, even before.”

With an embarrassed voice, Aiden mumbled like he had a thorn in his throat, but eventually, he managed to finish his sentence; though he had to squeeze his words out.

“Even before, I thought you were beautiful.”

“………Sir, your ears are red.”

Everyone thought this marriage marked the downfall of Princess Glasster, but was that really true? Was she really falling? <<less

With a short life left to live, I just wanted to heal. But why is this baby following me? And the baby’s father is the villain of the original story?!... more>>

"At most, you have one year left to live."

Of all people, I possessed a terminally ill villainess from the novel’s ending. Exiled for treason on top of that—this was the worst kind of possession… or so I thought.

Wait, hold on.

People cook for me, serve me, and even give me land. This is amazing…?

So, I made up my mind. In this life, I would enjoy all the healing I couldn’t have in my past life! With my exile set in a peaceful countryside, all I had to do was enjoy my remaining days.

Or so I thought.

"Uhh… Ma!"

"Don’t whine. Can’t you see your mother is exhausted?"

Wait… I have a baby now?!

And the original novel’s villainous Duke is claiming to be the father?!

Before I knew it, this self-proclaimed father-and-daughter duo had entangled themselves in my life.

"I want you to desire me more—both in heart and contract."

"I’ll fill this place only with the things you love. So never, ever think about leaving, Odelia."

This ridiculously handsome candidate for the baby’s father keeps clinging to me.

Will my peaceful, healing ending even be possible? <<less

“Rabiana Selden. I paid a fair price to have you.”... more>>

Her groom was changed—on the day of the wedding, no less.

A cold, arrogant voice rang in Rabiana’s ears.

After losing her family and her sight in an accident as a child, she had been living under the care of others.

But she never wanted to be sold off like this, forced into marriage.

“Bear my child. Once you do, I’ll send you wherever you wish.”

Unilateral words spoken without the slightest care.

Duke Alberto Vel Roen was that kind of man.

“Why me, of all people?”

“Because you’re a woman I don’t need to concern myself with.”

“…Please, keep your promise to let me go.”

Rabiana made up her mind.

Once she gave birth to his child, once he abandoned her—

she would end this wretched life herself.

***

Alberto had thought little of marrying Rabiana.

He didn’t even recognize the emotions stirring within himself.

He assumed a woman with nothing to her name would quietly serve his purpose.

“Don’t come. Go back, Your Grace.”

“You… intend to leave me?”

Only now, when he could no longer stop her,

did he realize what a fool he had been.

Rabiana, who had always been within reach,

was now coldly trying to go somewhere he could never find her.

“Rabiana!”

His desperate cry shook the forest. <<less

The man I had a drunken one-night stand with turned out to be the male lead from the original story. The issue? This ridiculously rich, handsome, and incredibly fit younger guy is set to start a war in two years. And me? I need to get out of here, obviously. So, I said, "I only liked you for your money."... more>>

"Is that so? I have plenty of money. Does that mean you like me a lot, then?" He leaned in, planting a light kiss on my cheek, then asked in a low voice, "Besides the money, what else do you like about me? Yesterday, it seemed like you were quite into my face and body too."

"What?"

"I'm guessing you’re in love with me..."

"Ack!" Instinctively, I screamed to block his love confession. But Kyle, as if he'd just realized something, grinned brightly.

"I get it now, noona. You don’t want to hear me say I love you, right?"

Exactly, that’s it!

"In that case, I’ll express it in a way you like better than words."

With that, Kyle tugged his tie loose and stepped closer to me.

No! I don't want you to express it with your body either! <<less

[From the very beginning, wasn’t our relationship just a game? Ah, but I’ll admit this much—it was fun.] ... more>>

With nothing but a single cruel letter declaring that everything had been a lie, Emeline’s first love disappeared. Now, he has returned—upon hearing the news of her engagement.

***

It all began with rivalry between families. That man, Zenon Trancium, was a delinquent aristocrat who never failed to scratch at her pride. One summer day, when they were both young and naive…

“Have you ever kissed anyone?” Oh, right, you’re so high and mighty that you would freak out if someone even touched you, wouldn’t you?”

“I’ve done it too. Want me to show you?”

What started as a battle of pride from his taunts quickly turned into first love. But before long, Emeline realized it had all been a game to him, and she erased him from her life—or at least, she tried to.

“It’s been a while, Lady Delzeier.”

Until the moment he appeared again, right after hearing of her engagement.

“Do you hate me so much you’d die? Funny, it doesn’t feel like the truth to me.”

Despite being the one who abandoned her, he now stood before her with the look of someone who had been left behind. Her first love was intruding upon Emeline’s life once more—this time, not to offer love, but to ruin her engagement.

“Lady Delzeier, we may still be rivals tied by our families, but let me make one thing clear.”

We’re no longer the naive children of that summer. <<less

Beatty, a weak squirrel shapeshifter who was born into a lion family.... more>>

Because of that, I lived my life being ab*sed at my aunt’s house in the Capital.

When I told my only friend and fiancé, the Second Prince, that I would leave to achieve my dream,

‘Ritter, you bastard…!’

I died on his fangs.

I opened my eyes again to my childhood, the time before I got myself involved with the Second Prince.

At times like this, what do you need? Speed.

I immediately withdrew my body only and ran away to the territory of my biological father, the Lion Duke.

Though I won’t be welcomed, if I possess this one great secret that will only be discovered in the future, I won’t get kicked ou—

“Welcome, Young Miss!”

“OMG! When did you grow up like this…?”

“Young Miss is walking with those two cute feet!”

… Huh? Why am I welcomed like this?

No way, is that my statue? <<less

She came back from the unknown gate wearing only a black dress with a black parasol. A first-generation hunter, Cha Eunha, went missing 30 years ago.... more>>

In the early 2000s, they had been locked within a mysterious gate.

For someone to escape, one must stay behind…

“It’s because you have more reasons to stay alive for than me.”

Eunha sacrificed herself for her colleague Yijun, killed monsters to survive and met a man who found her when there were no monsters left to kill.

“You’re the boss.”

Shin Siwoo, the first S-Class hunter that she’s ever heard of.

When Eunha had managed to get out of the strange gate,

“Thirty years…have passed?”

The world had changed so much.

Besides, Baek Yijun, an old colleague that she had met after a long time,

“You know what. I hate the fact that people like you are hunters.”

—was not the person Eunha had remembered. <<less

“I’ll give you a chance to explain. Tell me.”... more>>

A scene of infidelity, with my husband in front of me and my affair behind me. If this were a play, I, reincarnated as the cheating wife, would be in the spotlight.

“I’ve been waiting for you to come, honey.”

“…What?”

“Arrest him. He’s a spy who tried to seduce me and steal the duchy’s secrets.”

This is going to be the best scene to overturn the worst.

***

Ethan, who has always neglected his wife, and Camille, who chose to have an affair out of thirst for affection. Now that I’ve changed my future and avoided being kicked out penniless, all that’s left is divorce. But my husband, who is supposed to welcome it,

“No divorce.”

I mean, we were never good enough, right? Wasn’t it a relationship that burned to ashes?

“Look me in the eye and tell me. Do you really have no heart?”

The sparks from the fire went in an unexpected direction.

“Let’s see now.”

As if it would flare up again at any moment. <<less

I lived as a cure for the heroes of the empire. I participated in countless monster subjugations and had to shed blood countless times. Then one day, a woman who claimed to be a real saint appeared.... more>>

“How could you fool me so perfectly for so long?”

“I can’t believe it. Don’t you know what shame is?”

Then, everyone turned their backs on me as if they had been waiting. Pointing their fingers at me and calling me a ‘fake’.

“I told you I won’t.”

“… … What?”

“I won’t be a saint.”

“… … .”

Yes, they were all dirty and deadly, so I threw them all away. When I threw the mace I was holding to the floor, the solid marble floor shattered in an instant.

“So, I said that those of you who are capable should do well among yourselves.” <<less

"Violet, get married. Within this month."... more>>

In the year Violet, the daughter of a fallen noble family, turned twenty, her gambling-addicted father sold her off to a man she had never met.

Standing at the altar, expecting an inadequate husband, Violet instead faced a tall and handsome knight.

And, to her surprise, he was younger than her?!

The young husband, who left for the battlefield immediately after their wedding, returned three years later, exuding a deep and mature charm—a changed man.

"Now that I’ve come back, I want to truly become your husband."

The story of Aldrick, the younger husband, and Violet, the older wife, navigating their whirlwind "marriage first, love later" journey to a happily-ever-after! <<less

When I opened my eyes, I found myself as a cat. Not the protagonist, the protagonist’s friend, the protagonist’s sibling, a princess, a noble lady, a villainess, or even an extra. I was transmigrated as a black cat that humans throw stones at, calling it unlucky just by meeting it…... more>>

But that was still okay. Because even a cat like me found a caretaker who adores me!

“Were you trying to run away?”

“Meow, meow?”

Unfortunately, this place is inside a horror game where people are kidnapped and killed every night.

“Mia, if you try to escape… I’ll kill you.”

Until I found out that my caretaker was the villain who killed the cat he had been raising in the first cutscene.

Oh, this is driving me crazy! <<less

Theresia Oblene, eight years old.... more>>

As her dead mother’s things which she left were taken hostage, she was threatened by her wicked biological father and was forced to be adopted by the Ghost Duke family.

“But he only told me to go to be adopted, right? He didn’t tell me not to have this adoption undone, did he?”

Now that it has become like this, I’ll leave my name behind as the fastest child to get a dissolution of adoption in the history of the Empire.

***

An heir’s duty? What’s that? Is it something to be eaten?

It was my plan to become a lout and get kicked out on purpose.

Until I met the Ghost Duke who was cursed.

[Let me do this kind of thing as a parent, Terry.]

[I will become the Miss’ wooden horse!]

[Thank you, Miss!]

The Duke is too kind, and the employees are too sweet.

If so… then change of plans!

I decided to raise the Duke Family which is doomed, and buy the whole Viscount family.

Shouldn’t I use the ability to see ghosts at times like this?

But…

[Hey, you. If you keep pretending not to know…]

[I will tell the ghosts of the mansion that you can see ghosts.]

My ability was found out by some teddy bear that was possessed by a ghost.

Will… I be able to survive here safely? <<less

The Legendary Sword, Excalibur.... more>>

The one who draws that sword will become the Master of the continent.

I became a villainess in a mythological novel.

Morgana Le Fay, the villainess who was executed by the Hero after stealing the Legendary Sword and delivering it to the final Dark Villain.

'I will refrain from evil deeds. I'm a good person!'

So, I tried to escape from the Dark Villain, enjoy a peaceful life, and be wise in this world.

However, as I was checking if the sword was properly inserted into the rock, I stopped pulling it out.

"Why is the Legendary Sword so easily pulled out?! What about the Oracle?"

Of course, I tried to pass the Excalibur to the main character and run away, but the atmosphere became strange.

"Where were you planning to go with the Sword?"

"Well, I don't know. Going out to the lake ahead...?"

"Yes, beyond that lake is the land of Britain."

"I have no intention of handing you over to Arthur."

"Hey, there seems to be some misunderstanding."

"I’ll bring the continent into your hands, so don’t leave and stay by my side. Morgana."
The new king of Avalon will open the door to war.

"My dear Morgana. Forgive me for daring to desire the King of Britain. I will risk my life and honor to put you in the place you deserve."
Then the main character should be the Master of the Sword.

"I don't care if the other person is a woman. The marriage is already prepared. Come on, let's go to Britain and push my father away!"
The heroine, who's declared in the Oracle to marry the male protagonist, the Hero of this world.

—Once you pick it up, I'll go with you until you die. All right, here comes the Master of the continent!

Even this damn Excalibur!!

Why is everyone crazy? Excuse me, I don't need that continent! <<less

I became a villainess in a novel.... more>>

And not just any villainess, but one at the point of being kicked out of her family after committing various evil deeds!

With no choice but to make a living, I became a street vendor, but......

Suddenly, I was kidnapped by the Imperial Prince who was also the hidden mastermind in the story.

"The reason I brought you here, my lady, is because I would like you to become my chef."

No way, who recruits someone like this?

After many twists and turns, I thought I would walk a smooth but boring path as the Emperor's personal chef, but......

***

"I never thought such flavor could exist. Please take me as your disciple!"

Even the genius young alchemist,

"You're the only chef I acknowledge. So never stop cooking. Understand?"

Even the rival chef who was initially snippy,

"Arrrr!"

Even the mysterious pet fox that's docile only to me but ferocious to everyone else.

They all completely fell for my food.

And, above all else......

"You are under my protection. So do not fear anything."

Why is Kailos Oberon, who was clearly the hidden mastermind in the story, paying so much attention to me? <<less

It had been a year since I possessed this body, and I finally discovered the identity of the original character.... more>>

But… I was revealed to be Evelyn, a handmaid who would help the runaway of the future imperial princess, Caesar.

My only way to survive was to control Prince Caesar’s rampage and raise him to the throne.

“I have to find Your Highness’s guide. Contacting a guide will allow you to awaken your abilities without going into a rampage.”

In an attempt to survive a little longer, I set out to find his guide… only to discover that I was the one and only guide?

Moreover,

“I have no reason to dislike Your Majesty.”

“Then that’s good, isn’t it?”

“…Huhh?”

“If you don’t dislike it, then it’s good.”

As I was gradually preparing to leave the palace, the newly crowned Emperor looked at me with sparkling eyes.

He held both of my hands tightly, as if he had no intention of letting go.

I had only awakened him, so why was he following me around like a drenched puppy?

And why wasn’t the rampage stopping?

***

“It’s about time for me to vomit blood, isn’t it?”

“Why would you say I’m going to vomit blood in front of me? Why?”

Unbeknownst to him, I was eavesdropping when Caesar gazed lazily and whispered.

“I need to go on a rampage… so that Evelyn won’t leave me.”

At that moment, the door I had been waiting for opened, and our eyes met.

His sky-blue irises were stained with bewilderment. <<less

‘Anything beautiful belongs to me. Every last piece.’... more>>

Louisa Messena, the scandalous villainess from the ruined Duchy.

From a young age, she was surrounded by finery and immersed in the arts, raised with opulence as her norm. Even after her house crumbled, she clung to the remnants, gambling, drinking, and drowning in excess.

She chased beauty with a hunger.

And what she adored the most were men.

Charming. Striking. Irresistible men.

But that hunger for perfection would one day script her downfall, ending in her public execution.

—That’s the legacy tied to the body I now occupy.

But frankly, that tragic tale held no meaning for me.

I didn’t care about romance novels or soul possession. My world was built around one obsession.

And that was performance.

Because in my reality, only the script, the stage, the cast, and the crowd mattered.

“If kissing me is what you want, just say so, Director. That’s why you cast me as the male lead and played the heroine yourself, right?”

The ever-defiant, dangerously flirtatious actor...

“As I thought… you’re someone who could only ever love the stage. But that’s fine. Use me as you wish. I won’t resist, I’ll let you.”

And as for the fiancé who blurred love with obsession, he was never the real plot. <<less

"It was something hard to obtain, wasn't it? Wouldn't it be troublesome if you just died?"... more>>

I found myself reincarnated into an R-rated romance fantasy novel. As Fiorentia, an illegitimate daughter with a terminal condition, I was doomed to wear a mask for the rest of my life after having my face stolen by my half-sister.

'Who said I'd just die quietly?'

I pretended to cower before my half-sister while secretly aligning myself with the male lead—the very man who would one day annihilate this wretched family.

"I'll take care of this beast."

With the intention of later demanding repayment for my kindness, I took him under my wing and soothed him.

"Shh. Theo, be good, okay? Stay still. You need to listen to me."

I helped Theodore retain his sense of self and reminded him, "Remember clearly how much effort I put into helping you. You have to pay me back later. That's only fair."

Once he was strong enough to protect himself, I even helped him escape my sister's grasp.

And then, four years later—

Just as in the original story, Theodore returned. To massacre the detestable Marcellas.

Fiorentia had been certain he would never recognize her.

Until he wrapped his arms around her from behind, buried his nose in her neck, and inhaled deeply.

"As if I wouldn't recognize you."

She had protected his sanity, and yet—

"I remember every single effort you put into me, down to the last detail."

"So I took everything. Just as you said, to properly settle the debt."

"In the perfectly fair way you liked so much."

Why does he seem... slightly strange? <<less

I helped the warriors who couldn’t reach the dragon, and we became true companions beyond life and death.... more>>

So I believed.

But it was my own delusion.

It was impossible for me to join in that place of honor where everyone cheered. As a commoner, I couldn’t stand among the group of warriors composed only of those of noble origins.

As such, I left the capital city by myself, and the dragon I thought was asleep, awakened once more.

* * *

“Cornelia.”

A man’s shining, cream-colored eyes looked at me pathetically.

“Please come back, we’re comrades.”

Behind him, the group nodded at his words. Everyone clung to and depended on me.

Those who had climbed to the highest position were on their knees in front of me, the one in the lowest position.

My gaze reached the man at the back who was gnawing his lips. The man said nothing. He was just staring at me with a pathetic expression on his face.

Looking at them, I smiled brightly.

Except for one person, their faces brightened in an instant.

“Mmh, I’m not going back.”

I shut the door roughly on the Empire’s heroes. <<less

Born as an extra in the completed novel. The main characters had their own happy ending, and they lived a peaceful life with their grandfather without any incident. Suddenly, the original male lead came to me and knelt down.... more>>

“……?”

What’s going on here?

“…..You.”

Said the male lead whose eyelashes were shaking.

“You’re Mariette’s daughter.”

I dropped the flower crown I was holding from my hand.

Who is Mariette?

Isn’t it the name of the original villainess who lost everything and met a tragic end?

By the way, I’m Mariette’s daughter?

What a crazy thing to say.

At that time, I was seriously thinking about whether or not the male lead turned crazy after the ending of the novel.

“And… also my daughter…”

The male lead said with tears in his eyes.

….Huh?

“I’m finally meeting you. I didn’t even know I had a child. Baby, I’m actually your father!!”

The moment when the male lead continued to speak mournfully.

Crying-!

Someone suddenly came out and slapped the male lead in the back of the head with all his might.

Slapping-

The male lead, who was hit in the head, passed out and threw his face on the dirty ground.

“Where did you lay your hands on, you bastard!”

Then, the grandfather, whose face was blushing, appeared and shouted aloud.

“You’re such a fool who doesn’t even know grace, how much my daughter suffered because of you and left, where are you shamelessly coming to?”

I stared at the male lead, who had his face savagely smashed on the floor, and Grandfather, who came with a bigger stone this time with a lot of energy.

It was the moment when the secret of my birth that I had never dreamed of was revealed. <<less

Why—... more>>

“Aren’t you going to tell me I’m pretty today?”

How did he go from a pure and reserved man to a bold, straightforward seducer?!

***

“Pretend to be the young lady and maintain the engagement for just three months.”

I got thrown into an R-rated reverse harem novel and possessed a side character, only to watch the female lead die right in front of me. To make matters worse, her family demanded that a commoner like me impersonate a noble lady.

I was ready to refuse without a second thought, but—

“Once the contract is completed, you’ll be paid five million Mint in full.”

It was enough money to live comfortably for the rest of my life. My debt-ridden commoner’s body reacted faster than my mind.

…Deal!

***

It was supposed to be just a small whim. I thought I’d help my pitiful fiancé open his eyes a little before I left.

But why on earth—

“Aren’t you going to tell me I’m pretty today?”

The reserved, innocent man I knew had turned into a bold, straightforward seducer!

“Your Highness, you’re not supposed to be like this!”

“I’m trying to make you fall in love with me, Cynthia.”

The violet eyes that had always been hidden beneath his eyelids now gleamed darkly.

“So hurry up and fall for me, Cynthia.” <<less
