[A Cat Has Nine Lives.]

[One Life Has Been Deducted.]

[Returning to the Selected Time.]

It has been ten years since the appearance of gates that plunged the world into chaos.

In my first trial, I died a meaningless death.

But the blessing I once thought was useless brought me back to life!

With all my abilities intact, I returned to the day it all began.

Ten years remain until my death in the trial.

“That’s more than enough time to change the outcome!” <<less

Serret's first life ended in tragedy.... more>>

She drank poison given by her husband, listening to the mocking laughter of his mistress.

In the final moments of her life, Serret made one last wish:

If she were to be born again, she would never love Yuan Frextor.

"I think... I’ve returned to the past."

Muttering to herself as she gently touched her youthful face, Serret came face to face with Yuan—the man who painted her previous life in misery—the moment she regressed.

Unable to contain her rage, Serret hurled a flower vase at him.

"Die!"

The vase shattered, and blood trickled down Yuan’s forehead—

The same color as the blood Serret had vomited in her previous life.

---

His eyes, a chilling shade of blue, were filled with hatred, resentment, and fury.

All of it directed at Yuan—at himself.

Seeing that look in Serret’s eyes, Yuan felt a sudden pain in his heart.

That gaze… he felt as though he had seen it somewhere before.

"You won’t be able to escape. From the moment you were given the name Frextor, you became completely mine."

Pressing a kiss to Serret’s forehead, Yuan thought:

'If I am your hell, then you will live in that hell for all eternity.' <<less

I reincarnated as an extra with a guaranteed death flag.... more>>

Simply avoiding my original fate wasn’t enough—the novel itself wouldn’t change unless I took action.

So, I decided to end the story by capturing the villains myself.

“If you hire me as a detective, I promise to clean up this city!”

“You’re not rejecting me just because I’m a woman, are you?”

With my past life experience as a hunter-police officer, I joined the detective bureau.

And to my absolute delight, my boss is Lloyd, my ultimate favorite character.

Thus began my chaotic and thrilling life at the detective bureau.

* * *

“I appreciate the sentiment, but I’m used to being alone. I don’t even know how not to be.”

Shocked by his words, I impulsively replied, “I’ll show you. That being two is better than being alone.”

And so, I started teaching him how to flirt. I felt sorry for my favorite character, who was used to solitude, and I disliked the story of him dying alone. But then...

“Didn’t you say you liked my face? Then only look at me.”

“Whether it’s a suspect or anyone else, I dislike you chasing after other men.”

“Come to me. Stay by my side.”

...This isn’t the flirting I taught! Why are you acting like this, Duke? <<less

The sea is a lawless zone, plagued by man-eating sea monsters and pirates.... more>>

In such a sea, there exists the world’s strongest naval admiral, feared by all.

With wealth, power, and looks, he has one secret:

His true identity is a siren!

Living in a world where other species have disappeared, he hides his identity, but when he meets the sea-loving Cella, she uncovers his secret.

“Siren, huh? I like mackerel, tuna, flatfish, stingrays… basically all marine fish.”

“…Fish.”

She’s a strange woman who, despite her eccentricities, hides her powers.

He decides to hire her to keep an eye on her, but…

“What if I want to become a beach bum?”

“What’s that?”

“It’s simple. I don’t work, I just lounge around, eating and doing nothing—basically a rich layabout. That’s my dream, to live like that by the beach.”

“……”

“If you hire me, I won’t work. I’ll just lay on the couch like a seal, patting my belly.”

“That sounds fun. I’ve never hired a sea seal before.”

His nonchalant answer leaves Cella flustered.

Wait, this isn’t what she planned?

She never intended to get involved with the admiral.

He is, after all, the final boss from the original work!

Unintentionally treating his illness and uncovering his true identity, she decides to escape to a beach resort for a peaceful life.

“This is interesting.”

The admiral, with his fiery gaze, looks out at the sea and orders:

“Chase the ferry to Maltana. Now.” <<less

Larissa, once renowned as the fiercest mercenary captain, had achieved a glorious victory in a war she'd entered as a countess. But her triumph turned to ashes with her husband's betrayal, leading to her unjust death. She awoke to find herself reborn as the young daughter of a hunter. Her peaceful new life, however, was short-lived; to protect her twin brother, she disguised herself as a boy and enlisted in the army.... more>>

***

The recruits, grimy and unwashed after days on the road, already looked as though they'd endured weeks of grueling military life. The sight of them stirred a familiar memory of dust and sweat from a life she’d left behind.

‘Here we go again.’ Though she'd steeled herself for this, actually being there, seemingly treading the same path as her past life, brought a pang of regret.

‘This must be fate. I vowed to protect this family. Let's see where this road leads. I won't run. I won't turn away.’

***

After joining the army, her exceptional skills quickly garnered attention, yet the Duke, the highest military commander, regarded her with open disdain.

“Who are you? What is your purpose here?”

“If you fail… you will be expelled from the army.”

Why the suspicion? If only he knew she was the one who'd saved his life! <<less

My husband is going to love another woman. Because it is the destiny of a male protagonist to love a female protagonist.... more>>

And I became the ex-wife of my husband who had to die before that. It was the first love that hurt his heart, but in the end, I was just an extra that would become a forgotten memory.

It would be terrible to die according to the original story.

I hate married life and the thought of being thrown out by my husband in the future.

Then the only answer is a quick divorce…

“An application for divorce without a cause is not permitted.”

The problem is that it doesn’t work my way!

A marriage arranged by the emperor, so divorce requires justification?

So maybe I can make a reason?

*

“I don’t know why you keep talking about divorce. Was it so lonely?” Rashid hugged me naturally, like water flowing down my waist. I was held in his arms.

Rashid’s body temperature gently passed through the thin chemise dress. The warmth from his body spread quickly.

“Now what…”

The moment I tried to speak...

Rashid turned his head and tried to meet my lips. His face drew closer. They got closer as if they would touch each other very soon.

“No!”

I quickly raised my hands and blocked his lips. <<less

The protagonist reincarnates as the villainess Catherine Medicis and works hard to change the novel's ending.... more>>

Unlike the original storyline where Catherine faced a tragic death, she survives.

She then meets Eugene Cruiser, her fiancé, whom she had forgotten even in her past life.

Seizing the opportunity to fulfill her lifelong dream, Catherine proposes a restaurant investment to Eugene. He readily agrees, allowing Catherine to finally transform her cherished dream into reality.

Meanwhile, as they work together on this new venture, Eugene gradually develops a genuine interest in Catherine. <<less

“Your duty is to appear before His Majesty the Emperor as the fiancée of the Grand Duke.” ... more>>

A sudden fire and the disappearance of her family.

As Audrey is consumed by despair, an unexpected proposal is made…

To become the spark of revolution.

“You own nothing.”

Hearing those words by chance, rather than breaking her, gives Audrey courage.

In the end, she chooses to abandon herself,

Throwing everything into the stormy, winter sea.

To find her missing family, she takes the Grand Duke’s hand.

And the freedom she gains is far sweeter than expected.

A false identity, a false life, a false fiancé.

Yet it is far more liberating than the life she once knew.

“I must make myself useful.”

Lystan Clifford, the emperor’s half-brother and a prince of the colonies.

He places Audrey in the role of his fake fiancée to further his revolution.

His heart, once consumed solely by vengeance, begins to beat differently in her presence.

She was meant to be nothing more than a tool, yet his resolve falters.

***

Icy blue eyes and mysterious golden ones.

The forsaken prince, Lystan Clifford.

He became the vast, devouring winter sea that swallowed her whole.

The discarded pawn, Audrey Eckborn.

Never once did she imagine she would become the only sun capable of melting his frozen life. <<less

After collapsing from overwork, I opened my eyes and stood up, finding myself in an unfamiliar body.... more>>

As an ab*sed and belittled extra with a limited lifespan.

I had no intention of accepting the fate of dying from cardiac arrest without a fight.

“Because if I continue like this, l’ll have a short life. As you can see, I have nothing and l’m too busy trying to survive. I plan to extend my life with my white magic. Oh, and while l’m at it, l’II get some revenge too.”

I intercepted the power that the villain was going to take and gained immense strength.

“Lord Conrad, I presume? I’m the boss of the Eileen Merchant Guild.”

I created a merchantry and accumulated wealth.

“What I want is not the love of the crown prince, It’s the position of the crown prince’s consort.”

I obtained the position of the crown prince’s consort.

Now. He just needs to seduce the adorable female lead princess and live happily ever after!

But…

“Who dared to touch my daughter-in-law?”

“Sister Adele, you can rest. I will take care of the dirty mess.”

“My lady, what are you talking about? Have I been inadequate? I will strive to satisfy you.”

I never intended to get involved with all of you, so why do you like me? <<less

I was betrayed and abandoned by the person I believed to be my true love, the partner I thought would navigate this harsh world with me. But that doesn’t mean the sky collapses or the world ends.... more>>

I have a child to protect, and dazzling, radiant days ahead to live with that child. Choi Seongjun, no matter how much dirt you throw in my path or how much filth you splash my way, I’ll trample over someone like you with ease and live the rest of my life spectacularly.

I no longer have a husband, but I have my son, who is a billion times more lovable.

Yet, someone else keeps trying to enter my life again. I don’t need them. All I need is my son.

But for some reason, I can’t push them away. No, I find myself wanting to pull them in even more strongly. I want to try trusting someone again. <<less

Will I end up marrying my 'real husband' in this life?... more>>

After a lifetime of misfortunes and at the face of death, Ignette suddenly returns to the past. This might be the chance to start everything anew and finally live my life as my own. The first thing to do would be to marry the Grand Duke Heinz and stay with him. But staying by her side at all times is Hatz, the Grand Duke's handsome envoy... or is he?

Will Ignette have her revenge AND love this time? <<less

One day, while living peacefully, she was mistaken for the Grand Duchess and kidnapped.... more>>

She had the same name and appearance as hers.

"It's not me! It’s not me! You've got the wrong person! I don't know who you are, but I'm not who you're looking for!"

She denied it vehemently, tried to run away, and even went undercover to look for evidence.

"I don't know what on earth you're thinking, madam."

The Grand Duke's misunderstanding was solid, and she had to play the part of the Grand Duchess in order to get home.

But she was getting too caught up in the act.

"What did you wish for?"

"That Madame.... stay by my side."

Or perhaps he was being too affectionate.

"As long as the Grand Duke allows."

"......."

"I'll stay here."

The moment the commoner orphaned mountain girl mistook his affection for the Grand Duchess for her own.

"-I have found the missing Grand Duchess."

It was time for the fake to go back. <<less

“I will raise my sword for you in this life.”... more>>

The day she realized betraying her liege had been a mistake, the regressed knight Eatrith made her decision.

She would become a temporary patron to help her abandoned prince ascend the throne.

“I will make you emperor.”

“If you stay close to me… you’ll die.”

But her liege, blinded and wary, would not easily let her near.

Eatrith resolved to help him regain his sight and rise to the position of crown prince, then leave.

Yet with just one step, Adrian once again filled her entire field of vision.

“I was mistaken?”

“Yes. Completely.”

“Well, if that’s what my lady wants to believe, I suppose you can lie to me.”

Adrian, eyes locked on Eatrith, leaned forward.

Startled, Eatrith tried to pull back the arm holding her sword—but he was already gripping the blade barehanded, without even a glove.

“If you're going to leave me again…”

The crown prince, holding the edge of her sword and turning it toward his own eyes, whispered,

“Then blind me again. So that even if you run, I won’t be able to find you.” <<less

Why, seems like I've become a haunted portrait.
