"The palace maids get quite a decent salary. I heard they receive a generous pension upon retirement, too."... more>>

"Yes, I'll do it!"

Erica, who brews tea better than anyone in the world (special note: a tea enthusiast in her previous life), takes the job of being the crown prince's personal maid for his tea time to indulge her passion even more. However, contrary to the claim that she only needs to brew tea, meeting the prince's preferences is incredibly challenging.

"Second-flush tea? Doesn't that mean it's made from the second harvest of tea leaves? Isn't the second harvest of lower quality compared to the first?"

"Count Phlox, you may leave now. I need to discuss this tea with the maid."

'You're being unfair, save me!'

The only comfort for Erica is her substantial salary and her pen pal friend.

[My friend has liked someone for a long time but doesn't know how to approach her.]

[How about arranging more opportunities for them to meet? As they spend more time together and talk, a way will become clear.]

The day after she advised her dear friend to create opportunities for his friend and his crush to meet more often, she was unexpectedly assigned additional tea time with the crown prince... It must be a coincidence, right?

"What do you think about the empire's tax policy?"

"Tax policy... is it?"

‘Yeah, there's no way my kind and sweet pen pal friend would do something like this!’ <<less

Have you ever possessed a character in a novel where the male protagonist has died?... more>>

I managed to do that difficult feat.

I ended up possessing a necromancer in a novel that the author abandoned after killing him off, who unfortunately was an accomplice of the black mage who killed the male protagonist.

Although I successfully bound the male protagonist’s (Castian) soul using necromancy, everyone is wary of me and despises me.

But for some reason, the once-distant male protagonist has become increasingly kind.

When I rejoiced, thinking that at least he understood my feelings, his kindness took a rather peculiar direction.

“Wasn’t it said that the closer I am, the easier it is to use necromancy?”

“Well, that may be, but you’re already quite close.”

“This should make it even more convenient, then.”

Castian gave a dangerous smile as he pressed a kiss to the back of my hand.

This man must be losing his mind since he lost his life.

The ill-fated encounter between a lowly necromancer and the male protagonist destined to save the world—will things really be okay like this?

Could someone please save our male protagonist and, while you’re at it, maybe save me too? <<less

I was reincarnated as the cursed lady of a perished noble family in an unfinished novel.... more>>

Thinking I could return once the story ended, I lived recklessly. But everything remained the same.

However, despair only lasted a moment!

“First, I need to make money.”

Utilizing my ability to see ghosts, I opened a (ghost) detective agency.

Thanks to my efficient work, word of my abilities gradually spread. Then one day, a suspicious client came to see me.

“If you don’t want to die, you have to help me.”

The tyrant who mu*dered his father and brothers to seize the throne, and the hidden villain of the story—Emperor Adolf Cher Kravoner.

I absolutely refuse to get involved with a madman!

I tried to turn him down, but…

[...Chapter 12: The Suspicious Client

Isabel couldn’t hide her shock. Why is this person here? Adolf, whom she absolutely should never meet, was standing boldly before her.]

The unfinished novel began to be rewritten as soon as I got involved with him. <<less

"I will serve as a replacement for Lady Daton."... more>>

"...What did you just say?"

"I said I will take Lady Daton's place. I will go to the capital with you."

I made a deal with a man who couldn’t forget his lover, under the pretense of paying off a debt.

Of my own accord, I stepped into his trap.

I never knew that would be my downfall.

***

The more I lived day by day, the stranger it felt.

Why do she and I both paint the same pictures?

Why do we both fear water so much?

Is it truly a coincidence that we, two different people, are so similar?

If it is a coincidence,

Who does he truly love?

Who exactly is this "Pheria" he speaks of?

That’s why I decided to leave him.

To understand what his dreadful puppet game was for. <<less

Eve Blanc, a poor but talented dancer, finds it difficult to fully showcase her abilities due to the jealousy and envy around her. She receives an offer that is hard to refuse from the young and charming noble, Duke Ernst von Laerafs.... more>>

“I am not interested in Eve Blanc as a person. I just find it a pity for such talent to go to waste.”

With the duke's support, Eve transforms into the greatest dancer of her time. Gradually, a clumsy affection for the duke starts to bloom in her heart.

However, the relationship, which was merely a sponsorship, takes a sudden turn due to Eve's mistake.

“Nothing changes. You still want to dance, and I still find your body appealing.”

Eve wants to dance for as long as her arrogant patron desires, at least until the moment comes when she can no longer keep her promise. <<less
