Euphrasia found herself carrying the child of the influential Duke Herrington, the man who held power in the empire. He offered to take responsibility.... more>>

She knew she shouldn’t have trusted him...

But it wasn’t until her wedding day, when she was poisoned to death, that Euphrasia regretted her choice.

Just when she thought everything was over, she found herself returning to the past.

To the moment when Duke Herrington first proposed marriage.

“I will gladly take responsibility for you. And, of course, for our child.”

There was no way she would die twice.

Euphrasia forced the brightest smile she could muster.

“I don’t need a father for my child.”

Instead,

“Just pay child support. As much as possible.”

Her plan was simple: take only the money she needed and stay as far away from the Duke as possible.

This time, she had to protect herself and her child, no matter what.

“Of course, I must take responsibility. However, until it is proven that the child is my son, you will have to remain at the Ducal estate for the time being.”

But why does this man keep saying such strange things? <<less

I fell into a dungeon and somehow ended up trapped in a subspace.... more>>

But this subspace... something's strange about it?

["How does subspace water taste? Like honey!"

▸ Your wounds have been completely healed!]

Huh?

Lush green meadows, tall trees, and a refreshing breeze. While drinking water from a stream in the subspace, a system message popped up out of nowhere.

The content was unbelievable.

Wait.... did all my wounds heal just from a few sips of water?

Surprised, I jumped into the stream.

["Subspace water: Don't drink it, give it to your skin!"

▸Lower back pain (early stage) has been healed!

▸Shoulder stiffness has disappeared!

▸Wrist tendonitis has been cured!

▸Circular hair loss is gradually improving!]

C-crazy?!

✦✦✦

It has been a week since I started living in the subspace.

Then, an unexpected intruder showed up, threatening the only entrance connecting it to the outside world.

[Subspace entrance collapses in 3 seconds. Do you want to exit?

Yes | No]

I was worried about the intruder lying unconscious in front of me, but I figured I could leave now and come back later.

So I accepted the system’s offer to exit.

But then....

[Current location is not a dungeon. Cannot generate entrance.]

Now that I’m outside the dungeon, the subspace won't open.

'Breaking news: Rank 1 Hunter Shin Yeoul suddenly disappeared during an emergency.'

'Where is Shin Yeoul? Just yesterday, he was active in the field...'

'Day 3 of the multi-gate crisis, Rank 1 fails to appear before S-rank dungeon conquest.'

Cold sweat poured down my back as I stumbled upon the news.

No way. This is because of me?

Is it really my fault...?

I pulled at my hair in frustration.

[✧*｡٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و✧*｡]

Don’t you dare look so proud, system!

I squeezed my eyes shut and screamed silently.

Fine. It’s me.

I’m the one who trapped the Rank 1 Hunter! <<less

The blasted war has ended.
Three years from then, this countryside village seems to be pretty stable, too, but...... more>>

This bear-like vagrant has barged into our restaurant and spouts nonsense.

"I have come to repay the debt I have incurred to your father during the war."

But this guy doesn't even know what his debt is.
And my father died during the war, so I can't even ask him what it was!
When I tell him that it's fine, and that he should leave, this wanderer goes--

"How much do you want? I'll follow whatever you say."

It's money I don't have, not pride!

"Enough about money, pay with your body."
"....My body, or another's body? Either way, I can provide--"
"Go slice those onions!"

“That s*ave over there. Can you give him to me?”... more>>

Because that s*ave is actually the male lead of this novel and the long lost son of a duke.

So, if you don’t want to be executed for abusing the male lead, just hand him over to me quietly.

To prevent a massacre ending and to collect the reward offered for the male lead, I risked my life to protect him.

I used him to escape from this miserable household and to fulfill the dreams I couldn’t achieve in my previous life.

“Thank you, Duke.”

When I exchanged the male lead for the reward, his face seemed stained with betrayal, but…

It doesn’t matter.

I made sure to keep a strict line between us so that the male lead wouldn’t catch the rampant male lead affliction: obsession.

So now I plan to run away from him!

Five years later.

I finally managed to open a ‘convenience store’ in this romance fantasy world, and it’s a huge success!

One day, a suspicious customer visited me.

“Welcome!”

Even I, who had the knight commander, the mercenary king, and a priest—who were all famous in the whole empire by the way—as regular customers in the capital, had to catch my breath at the beauty of this customer.

“Are you looking for something?”

“Right here.”

“Pardon?”

“She’s right in front of me.”

His gaze was fixed directly on me.

“I’m sorry, dear customer, but I’m not for sale….”

“Master.”

As I hurriedly bowed my head, I was startled by the familiar yet unfamiliar address from the customer’s mouth.

“You bought me, didn’t you? You must take responsibility to the very end. Like that time, when we shared a single blanket… and spent many nights together. Remember?”

…Wasn’t I supposed to be safe from the male lead’s obsession?

I reincarnated as Rowaine, the villainess who was fated to be executed for the sin of mistreating a shapeshifter. To escape death, I decided to replace my sister, Renee, in her arranged marriage.... more>>

The problem was that the person I was to be wed to, the notoriously cold-blooded Duke Blois, was a cat person.

“Darling, I heard that abusing shapeshifters like me is a hobby of yours.”
“From what I understand, there was no such condition that a woman who mistreats shapeshifters could never be the Duke’s marriage partner.”

His emerald eyes flashed dangerously. I quickly added before he could say anything else.

“If my hobby will pose a problem, then I promise that I will never play with the Duke.”

“Ha?”

This is the story of a 10-year contract marriage between a cat butler and a feisty cat shapeshifter. <<less

“Elaina, Archduke Grant is coming to visit tomorrow……. Someone you like.”... more>>

Diane’s sobs reminded Elaina of a book. Every night, she read the same book over and over again in her dreams. In the book, “Moonshadow,” Diane is sold off to become the wife of Archduke Grant due to family circumstances, preventing her from marrying the man she loves. The book ends with Diane, tired of her loveless marriage, taking her own life.

‘This can’t be happening!’

She had done so much to prevent Diane’s misery. Now she can’t stand by and watch her fall into the devil’s maw.

“Don’t worry, Diane.”

Elaina took Diane’s hand and reassured her.

“I’ll take care of everything.”

She will. Even if it means she herself marries him instead.

***

“You’ve interfered every time I tried to approach Diane Redwood, and now you want to marry me instead?”

“Think of it more like a one-year contract than a marriage. We can give and take what we want from each other.”

Lyle Grant looked at Elaina with confusion.

“What on earth for?”

“I have a heart that won’t let me turn away from a poor person.”

It wasn’t just for Diane. Diane, the protagonist, Nathan, the love of her life, and Lyle and his younger brother. Everyone in “Moonshadow” was unhappy, each for their own reasons.

“I promise, I’ll be your wife for a year, but I’ll do my best while I’m at it.”

Elaina smiled up at Lyle, her face full of confidence. She had a plan to make all the characters in the damn “Moonshadow” happy. <<less

To Niveia, the world seemed like an eternal winter. Her parents and maids had given her the cold shoulder ever since she was a baby. When she fell down in the snow, no one spared her a glance. It was truly a dreadful winter.... more>>

While living day to day like a doll on a display shelf, Niveia was engaged as part of a prenatal agreement between her father and her fiance’s father. Her fiance was a Wistash. Duke Valor Wistash.

As in the prelude to every tragedy, it all began with a damned love.

“Love has its moments. You missed them all, and now I don’t love you anymore.”

Niveia said to her fiance who had never once looked at her for the past decade, then left the Empire for the neighbouring country where she was welcomed with open arms.

She didn’t expect anything there and was simply planning to live quietly but the Emperor’s attitude towards her was exceedingly friendly.

“I want you to be happy. You can wish for anything and do as you please. I want to give you a season where you don’t have to be constantly wary of other people.”

After meeting Arendt, Niveia’s winter began to overflow… into spring as the snow began to melt. <<less

She wanted to be loved. That was all. But her father was infinitely indifferent, and her brother was terribly cynical.... more>>

“My lovely sister, Ebony. I love you the most in the world.”

In this cruel world, the only person who saved her was her only close friend and adoptive sister, Irene… .

“Thanks to you, you idiot, I stole their lives too easily. Thank you, I won’t forget this favor.”

Even that was a deception.

‘If there is a next life, I will give them despair.’

She stabbed her heart with the dagger Irene gave her, putting an end to her lonely unrequited love.

***

Ebony, who had been given a second chance, no longer worked hard for worthless things. She only wanted to return the wounds she had received to the other person.

“I want to marry you, Your Majesty.”

Diego Magnus. A beautiful man who made the air denser just by looking at him. Ebony dared to propose to the man with cold eyes.

“Why do you want to marry me?”

“Your Majesty, you were someone’s brilliant world.”

To get my hands on the man who was my sister’s first love and her brilliant world. <<less

Before hanging, she became a villainess in a devastated novel where her life was supposed to end after being poisoned.
However, what happened was that she couldn’t die of poison.
What’s even more surprising was that she could tell the taste of the poison!... more>>

“I can tell the taste of poison.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“What kind of use is that?”

Oh my. This evil woman’s past was too formidable to survive with tricks.
So she took out the secret card.

“Your boss will be poisoned.”

That’s right, it’s something about the villain that I know!

“I can be your poison dectector.”

So I thought I could survive well as an employee of a general store in front of the villain…
My boss, who I thought was just an extra in the black valley, was ranked number one?
It was an out-dated story that was popular before…

“…It’s not cliche, indeed.”

You’re scared of poison?
I’ll eat it for you! <<less
