I, the wife of the emperor, who used my family to ascend to the throne to become the emperor, was falsely accused of treason. Even my trusted friend who used to call me ‘sister’, betrayed me. My trusted friend stole everything from me and even seduced my husband, who never loved me.... more>>

And my life ended on a guillotine. So, I begged over and over again to have a chance to kill them with my own hands. Hence, I thought I was dead but upon opening my eyes, I found myself at the engagement ceremony with the Crown Prince, my former husband. For reasons I don’t know, I had returned to the past.

I was determined to change the fate I had experienced once, so I had the resolve to bring down the imperial family in order to protect my family.

However, just as I vowed to never love someone and instead dedicate myself to revenge, a man appeared before me – someone I never met in my past, at that. <<less

My husband has died.... more>>

In a marriage devoid of affection, there existed no room for sorrow.

Yet, with his demise taking everything away from me, I just had to return the favor.

I lived believing that patience was the answer for a long time, but I won’t endure it anymore.

Retribution shall be meted out upon the two houses that, as they were blinded by greed, had abandoned their children

And they shall be bestowed with everything they rightfully deserve.

‘If it’s not in my hands, I’ll take it by force.’

In this life, there came the resolve to metamorphose into a marauder of vengeance.

All was but a fragment within the mosaic of a meticulously crafted design.

Love, within this intricate orchestration, was deemed an unnecessary sentiment.

However…

“I’m going crazy. I just want so, so much to wrap my arms around your waist, pull you to me and give you a kiss right now.”

“…”

“I concede, Cecilia. You won.”

“…”

“Therefore, as the victor, lay claim to the spoils of war.”

Breathless gasps. A cadence of coarse utterances. Cheeks ablaze with a crimson hue.

Nothing was the same from the past.

The disgrace of House Winston. Daughter of Sandra, the runaway dancer who disappeared into the night just three years after her wedding. A tongue sharper than any blade. Helena Winston - forever involved in scandal.

One day, she was caught alone with the Crown Prince - her childhood friend - by none other than the Crown Prince's fiancée and the Empress.

As Helena agonised over how to deal with the situation, the Empress made her an offer.

"There is a young and handsome Count in the south. Recently, I've heard rumours that he's linked to a group that threatens the stability of the Empire.”

Her mission as the Empress's spy: to uncover the secrets of her future husband, Benjamin Ischfern.

But she never imagined he'd be so mad.

"Are you ignoring me now? Don't look away. This is your punishment."

"Y-You lunatic! I said let me go!"

And in the grandeur of the wedding hall, she stares down at him, cursing:

‘Fine. Let's play your little game. I'll peel back every layer of your secrets - and I'll be the one to bring you crashing down.’ <<less

I Became the Invisible Wife of the Cruel Villain.... more>>

Though invisible, I had plenty of money.

I didn’t need my husband’s attention, and I planned to live a life of luxury.

“Um… When will you return from this outing?”

“You don’t need to know that.”

My cold-hearted husband says he’ll be gone for days, leaving me alone in the duchy.

Great! A chance to enjoy a lavish life by myself!

But then…

“Cough! Cough!”

What stained my hands was blood.

Damn it, I brought my previous life’s illness all the way here.

My husband, whom I thought had already left indifferently, turned to look at me.

His gaze fixed on my blood-stained hands.

Damn, what if I get kicked out for being sickly?

***

“Did you take your medicine today?”

Though he must have a lot to do as a villain, my husband doesn’t leave. Instead, he’s taken a seat right in front of my bed.

“Oh, right! I should take it now. Haha, I almost died.”

My husband’s expression turned cold.

It’s my life anyway, why is he so angry?

“I’ll make sure to take it properly from now on. So you don’t need to worry about it.”

So don’t worry and go do your thing.

My husband heaved a deep sigh.

“When you’re sick, I can’t do anything.”

He took out a pill and popped it into my coughing mouth.

“From now on, I’ll have to stay by your side and take care of you myself.”

He whispered in my ear.

Far from enjoying a golden spoon life alone, it looks like I’m about to be confined.

But not a cafe… I’m awakened as a hotel manager?

“Welcome, welcome to Yeong Chun Hotel!”

It was the moment when I raised my head with a bright smile.

He was someone who shouldn’t be here.

I possessed the male lead’s first love. A villainess who, after being cast aside by him, torments the heroine and ultimately meets a miserable end.... more>>

Just two more months.

If I could endure for only two more months, the male lead would turn his attention to the heroine, and I would be discarded like yesterday’s news.

So I decided not to mess with the original storyline and just go along with things, such as accepting the male lead’s affections until he grew tired of me and fell for the heroine instead.

Of course, I had plans to use (?) him a little too…

“Ariel, please…”

…Only to get caught up with the dangerously irresistible male lead in a way I hadn’t anticipated.

* * *

Time passed, and finally, the two months were up.

Just as in the original story, once Hestia, the heroine, returned from her studies abroad, she was supposed to be officially named the male lead’s one and only empress.

So there I was, busy preparing for my impending freedom, when a bolt from the blue struck me.

“Ariel Winstor Roimann, the imperial consort, shall be crowned Empress. And from this day forth, I will not marry anyone but the Empress.” <<less

However, as the story is about to start, I know that the villain’s family is looking for a fake contract daughter-in-law to pretend to be pregnant to delay the death declaration of their missing eldest son. If I take on that role for just a few months, I could earn a lot of money.

I was planning to live quietly as a dutiful fake daughter-in-law…

“If you stay here, I’ll give you all of Ekian’s inheritance.”

But the Duke, my father-in-law, likes me too much.

“Why solve everything with money? How about adopting her and remarrying her?”

The Duchess, my mother-in-law, wants to mess up the family registry.

“You did marry my brother, right? You won’t leave if he comes back, right?”

Even my brother-in-law, the villain of the original story, clings to me!

Meanwhile…

“They said after a while, they’ll divorce me and find me a good remarriage prospect personally.”

“…Remarriage? You mean to marry again?”

The head of the information guild, whom I used to sell information to, is acting strangely.

“That husband… he might come back.”

What nonsense is this? According to the original story, the eldest son of the villain’s family remains missing.

***

“E-Ekian? Is that you, Ekian?”

“You… you are back? Really?”

Impossible.

The eldest son of this house is never supposed to return!

“Yes.”

“But, ahh, why, sob.”

When Bella opened her mouth, moans mixed with her words. The man pressing down on her from behind grabbed her hair and pulled.

“Seems like you want your master to catch you.”

At the low voice in her ear, Bella flinched and clamped her mouth shut. The man laughed softly.

“Still, I don’t mind. Go ahead and cry all you want.”

“……!”

Bella had to clench her teeth to avoid making any sound as something large thrust into her deeply enough to bring tears to her eyes.

With a tearful expression, Bella clutched her pillow with all her might and thought.

‘How in the world did things end up like this……’

She absolutely didn’t want to be caught by her master, the princess who was the female protagonist of the original game.

That these men relentlessly pouring their lust into Bella were actually the princess’s potential fiancés.

Before I could react to how quickly he had closed the distance, the deep dimple on one side of his cheek became pronounced.

After waking up in the hospital following a carriage accident, she was told she had amnesia. She was slightly taken aback by his words, but it was okay. Nothing had changed, so there was nothing to worry about. But that night, she found a strange warning in her torn diary.

[You must not love him.]

...Him? Who was he?

In the moment of uneasy questioning, a black carriage stopped in front of her mansion, piercing through the damp mist.

"Just a few days ago, you sent a breakup note, and today you've completely forgotten me?"
"You claim to have been my lover, yet you can't even tell if I'm lying or not."
"I... don't know you?"

As if his words touched something within him, the man's voice ominously lowered.

"...How much more do I need to know about you before I can say I know you?"

Suppressing his rough desire, his golden eyes sank deeply.

"I know everything about you, even the parts you can't see."

“You know, it’s only right for the eldest daughter to be the family’s breadwinner.”

“Go hunt monsters in your brother’s stead. It’s so humiliating to have an unmarried daughter stay at home. But if you go on that subjugation expedition, I’ll allow you to stay here.”

To keep her place in her family, she tried anything and everything to win their love.

She believed that happiness would come to her someday if she continued to endure it all.

However, she finally broke down after discovering her family’s betrayal when she came back home.

“It was all a pipe dream. I should never have lived for my parents, for my brother… for my family. I should have just lived for myself!”

As she took her last breath, she thought it was finally over.

I feel like I'm being stared at like a marked target by the people around me. Maybe it's just my feeling…?

After the contract period expired, the female lead eventually appeared. I needed to return the borrowed male lead to the female lead now, so I handed my husband the expired contract and tried to leave.

"Where are you going after teasing me for a year?"

"Teasing? What are you talking about?"

"You put a rule on not seducing me, but you actually seduced me to your heart's content."

When did I seduce you? I only set up a wall! As my husband looked at me with a puzzled expression, he pressed his lips with a heated gaze.
