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 prince, 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

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 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

"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

[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

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

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

He and I were destined to be enemies.... more>>

But the moment we fell in love, it happened in the blink of an eye.

You gave up everything, took my hand and ran away with me.

“Did you really think that paradise would be waiting for us at the end of our escape?”

But our end was destruction.

In the end, the pursuers caught us.

You were killed, leaving me behind.

Powerless, all I could do was to offer myself to turn back time.

I twisted time for you.

In doing so, you forgot me.

I did it to save only you.

I now choose to walk a different path.

The words I couldn’t bear to say remain trapped on the tip of my tongue.

As I head towards the end of a forgotten season. <<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

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

“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

The prettiest girl in the orphanage had many names. Luna, Ash, Camilla… and so on.... more>>

These were the names given to her by the adoptive parents, but they couldn’t use those names for long.

Since they had always abandoned the girl, Rosalyn, as they pleased, she decided not to accept any more acts of kindness...

"I will adopt this child."

Even the great noble, Duke of Arcus, who could not be refused, chooses Rosalyn. Still, she was determined not to open her heart to anyone.

"Is this the one who made my daughter cry?"

The Duke ruined the family of the child who had been bullying Rosalyn.

"I'll buy it for you right now."

"Actually, it was an invitation only for me and my brother... but having one more person to join is probably fine."

A great-grandfather, who would do anything for her, along with her two older brothers, Rosalyn thought she had finally found her family.

That is, until the Duke found out that she could see the future through her dreams.

"...If this fact gets out, our family will not be able to avoid the trouble."

In an instant, her 'family' was in jeopardy.

‘I am a child who isn't welcome anywhere.’

The things done to protect Rosalyn ended up hurting her instead. <<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

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

“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

Cordelia, who was sold into marriage and subjected to various humiliations, finally saw a way to escape this hell when her husband, who lacked character, manners, and intelligence, fell into a coma after an accident.... more>>

“O’ sacred star, please kill my husband.”

However, it seemed that her prayers had been answered in an unexpected way. Her husband woke up but lost all his memories. Cordelia saw this as an opportunity, but…

“Please sign here. You were eager to finalise the divorce before this, remember?”

“Heh, a divorce agreement. I’m sure you know why this upstart family welcomed you as a bride.”

There’s no way my husband was this astute! She deduced that something unimaginable must have entered his body. He was presumed dead; it’s a chance she won’t get again.

“Don’t you think your personal circumstances and ‘just divorced’ are incompatible given the circumstances?”

She threatened, putting her life on the line. She desired to learn magic from the great wizard and use it to secure a better life after her divorce. But she made a mistake, and that was underestimating her opponent’s temper.

“As my student, you should study and only sleep three hours a day.”

“Read five theses together, and you’ll be done in no time.” <<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

“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

"Raise it."... more>>

Upon his return from the battlefield, my master tossed me a baby instead of war spoils.

“M-M-Master…?”

Adelen, a maid whose dream was to marry a handsome husband and have obedient children to live a sweet, happy life, suddenly found herself raising a spoils of war baby instead of her own.

But as it turned out, this baby was quite the sight.

Thanks to that, she was now about to risk her life to raise a baby.

“Double your salary. A house, a carriage, livestock, and wedding funds. Will that be enough?”

Will it?

“Then add a man to marry, as well.”

Caught up in my master’s half-threat, half-coercion, I had no choice but to agree.

…But he didn't say the man he was giving me was the master himself! <<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

Edith Hamilton, who may not be fit to be called a low-ranking noble, simply wanted to build a family with a kind man.... more>>

One day, she helped a fairy — a being out of legends — and immediately regretted it!

“I’ll bless you so that the most handsome man treats you kindly.”

Because of a blessing she never even wanted, Duke Eurik Glassheart began to act ‘kindly’ toward her!

“Your Grace, why on earth did you come to me?”

“I do not know. My feet simply moved on their own.”

He brought her limited-edition desserts, escorted her to the opera, and even wiped her lips with trembling hands and an icy gaze!

No matter how hard she tried to break this blessing — no, curse — Eurik’s ‘kindness’ only intensified.

“Edith.”

“Yes?”

“Don’t wear a mantilla. It only hides your beautiful golden hair.”

Dear God, please lift this curse.

And if possible, I’d like You to punish that damn fairy too.

I just wanted to meet a kind man and make my dream come true! <<less

One day, Kisa heard shocking words from a stranger. Pale with shock, she went to confront him and asked,

A hero who saved countless innocent women who were accused of witchcraft and put an end to witch hunting, Grand Duke Ethel of Chession.... more>>

Gremory was found to be the most horrible of all those he had saved.

Chession, who wiped out the village that made Gremory like this,

"Is there nowhere to go? Come with me."

He gladly took her away and headed for the Grand Duke's residence.

The witch Gremory was dumbfounded.

She had been eating well and living well in his dismal home, but a man named Grand Duke destroyed her house and kidnapped her.

"This is a straw. That's how I used it."

Gremory looked at Chession as he tried to feed her human food like a monkey.

What is he really? <<less
