One day, I woke up to find myself as the abandoned maid of the grand ducal household.... more>>

I mean, I'm not saying that I was slapped and thrown out as soon as I woke up today. Rather, I literally woke up and realized that I had transmigrated into a novel as the maid who gets abandoned.
Of course, as cliché as it might be, the problem here is that I’m not the female lead.

Not the female lead, not even a supporting villain, not even an extra – I woke up as ‘that’ abandoned maid who irresponsibly has an affair with the grand duke, gets pregnant, gets kicked out, and eventually gives birth on the roadside, only to be stabbed to death by an assassin hired by the grand duchess.

Given the circumstances, my ultimate goal in this otherworld is survival.
Staying alive is my one and only priority.

Always be wary of the grand duke, reconsider any nonsense.
Romance? What romance?
Pardon me, but I’m too busy trying to survive.

And yet… What is this situation now?

"Julie, if it’s alright with you, can you attend to me?"
Isn't the butler supposed to do that?

"Maybe it’s because I’ve known you longer? I’m more comfortable with you, Julie."
If it’s about knowing someone longer, you’ve known the butler longer than me though?

“If you’re not feeling well, do you want to rest?”
Where? Over there, on your bed?

“I wish you’d feel more comfortable around me.”
If I get any more comfortable, I'll end up naked and rolling around on the bed, sir.

And so it begins.
A sensual romance between a maid trying to survive and a grand duke with insane flirting skills! <<less

“You knew what you were getting into when you married me.”... more>>

“…”

“That I don’t love you.”

Sa Eun-seo loved Ki Tae-kyung.

She married him for love, with no hidden agenda—just pure, unadulterated love, even knowing he had another woman.

But it seems she wasn’t okay with it after all. Eun-seo found it unbearable.

With each passing day, her misery grew. Then…

“How long have you been planning this?”

Ki Tae-kyung tore up the document.

Eun-seo looked at the tattered papers scattered on the floor.

“If you want to claim your right to terminate the contract, you should have followed the terms properly.”

“…”

“Don’t you think?” <<less

I transmigrated into a 19+ dark romance novel, The Villainess Torments the Emperor Again Today.It was already bad enough that I became an extra character who didn’t even exist in the original, Diane Heist…... more>>

But now my favorite character thinks I’m a spy and is about to cut off my head!

“Don’t think for a second I’ll show you mercy.”

My bias, the villain—Jerop Dykers—pointed his sword at me.Looks like I’m going to die just one day after transmigrating. Goodbye, world.

“Oh, my little child. Sola. So here you were.”

A voice of salvation came just in time.Luckily—or maybe unluckily—the villain’s mother mistook me for her youngest daughter.What? I’m Sola? I’m saved!

“Sign this.”

Jerop shoved a fake younger sister employment contract at me.He demanded two conditions:

Always prioritize Jerop Dykers’ orders above all else.

Report to him personally after work each day.

“What are you doing?”

“Contracts are supposed to be negotiated, you know. These are my terms.”

The Dykers family must treat Diane Heist kindly.

In short—it meant please don’t kill me.

…But somehow, the contract keeps evolving?

“We’re not just lovers now—we’re husband and wife. I can’t quite get used to it, wife.”

From fake siblings to fake spouses. At this rate, under the name of “fake,” we might even end up having a kid.

“Your life belongs to me, Diane Heist.”

This is fine… right? <<less

The family fell apart.... more>>

The once intact world turned upside down in the blink of an eye, leaving a pitiful sight.

Her father went missing, her mother committed su*cide.

And so, Hae-soo was left alone in this wretched land.

Three men enter her life.

“Sell yourself to me.”

Lee Ho-beom, the thug who comes to collect on the debt her father left behind.

“I can’t get into trouble anymore. You know that, Hae-soo.”

Seo Hae-seung, a friend she met in middle school and has maintained a relationship with ever since.

“Do you need my help?”

Seo Mu-won, Seo Hae-seung’s older brother, who extends his hand during moments of crisis with ambiguous intentions.

A swarm of gnawing desires.

A noose created by men who become each other’s triggers.

Trapped within it, Hae-soo struggles with all her might… <<less
