The man I spent a passionate night with turned out to be the very child I had sponsored.... more>>

Until now, I had never once experienced the pleasure and ecstasy that guiding brings.

But this time was different.

For the first time ever, it was an incredibly satisfying night—an imprint I was fully content with.

I even thought he could be my personal guide.

But to realize that the child I had supported for seven years was you?

“Did you not like the night we spent together?”

“Please tell me. I’ll fix everything.”

You can fix the night, but not the past.

I had never imagined that the child I had grown fond of supporting would become my personal guide. No, I thought it should never happen.

“Are you trying to seduce me like the other guides do, hoping to get connections with my family?”

“If that’s the case, you’ve failed. It’s so cliche it’s boring.”

I thought this was the way to shake off a persistently seductive man.

I believed you’d quickly give up, just like all the others who admired me.

Then why—

“You don’t find my body and guiding boring, do you?”

“Please, just take that from me, Commander.”

Why do you keep rushing toward me like a moth to a flame, never knowing when to give up?

Without even understanding what it means. <<less

Livadonia Joseph had everything she could ever want.... more>>

She was the beloved daughter of Marquis Joseph and the princess of the East.

But Livi’s perfect life was shattered when Dominic appeared.

He was the emperor's dog, a duke who was once a lowly mercenary.

Dominic wiped out the Joseph family in a single night, leaving Livi as the only survivor and forcing her into marriage.

As Livi wasted herself away, refusing to eat, Dominic made her an offer.

"Let's make a deal."

"…" <<less

I possessed an extra whose name wasn’t even mentioned in the romance-fantasy novel I was reading.... more>>

To be precise, it’s the Commander of the Imperial Knights under the direct control of the Emperor and the youngest daughter of the Alfrez Ducal family, she is an extra that has no shame in her wealth, status, and appearance.

I was quite satisfied with possessing such a character, and it was when a boy who seemed to have lost his way in the Imperial Palace started chasing after me.

“Mom.”
“Pardon…?”
“Mom! Why are you pretending not to know me!”

I’m sorry, but I’m not your mother…?
Do I look like this child’s mother?
And his dad is the notorious Evil Duke in the novel?

It seemed as if a storm suddenly swept through my peaceful daily life. <<less

Behind the happy ending, she was abandoned by the heroine and fell into the lair of the underworld boss. She ended up being his forgotten daughter.... more>>

Her pretty appearance and small stature were tragic factors for surviving here.

Yuriana smeared soot on her face and cut her hair, scavenging through tr*sh cans to get by each day.

Why didn’t she look for her father?

The boss… he was too scary. Of course, he would have turned dark after being abandoned by the married heroine!

He was a cold-blooded man who wouldn’t care if she was his biological daughter.

Then one day.

“Hehehe, little girl? Come here. I know how beautiful you are. I’ll take you to a nice house and dress you in pretty clothes.”

Oh no! If she got caught, she was done for!

Faced with a nasty s*ave hunter, a choice that seemed meant for the heroine appeared before her.

1. Run away
2. Fight back
3. Throw a stone!

No, all of those options were hopeless!

Just then, a strange choice labeled [Hidden] appeared before the tearful Yuriana.

[Hidden] Shout: Do you know who my dad is?!

“……”

Yuriana squeezed her eyes shut and selected the hidden option. From that day on, she never went hungry again. Amazingly, she was reunited with her biological father!

However, having the terrifying boss of the underworld as her father meant she had to live each day in thrilling suspense…. <<less

“So what you’re saying is, help me divorce my husband?” ... more>>

My beloved husband, my one and only precious friend. But in the moment before her death, Seriniel realized. That everything was a lie. Returning alive, Seriniel swore revenge. To do that, they needed Lexion Rosenvester, the so-called monster.

“Just one year. I’m not saying we should stay married for life. The duke will also want a divorce, so he will do it too.”

It was a transaction that Lexion had nothing to lose. Seriniel, who knows her future, will soon have her enormous wealth in her hands.

“Yeah, sure. I’ll do whatever you want. If you want more than just divorce, that’s fine too.”

“Then… … .”

“Let’s enjoy being the subject of a dirty scandal for seducing a married woman.”

Lexion slowly extended her hand.

“In return, you will have to give me what I want. Surely.”

Then she quietly stroked Seriniel’s delicate cheek and said, “There are only two things I want.”

Seriniel, who did not understand what Lexion meant, looked at him in shock.

“One. You completely abandon such a worthless bastard. Two. To maintain a lifelong, marital relationship with me. Forever.”

Lexion slowly lowered his head and whispered in a low voice in her ear. “It means you should change to me now, Seriniel Verdelette.” <<less

"That night, it was a mistake."... more>>

I was the unfortunate grand duchess who ends up killed by her husband, the final villain of the novel, the scheming grand duke. A weak-bodied grand duchess who couldn’t even fulfill her duties properly.

I was planning to divorce him after playing the role of a show window wife in a business-like marriage, but somehow, I ended up making a mistake with my soon-to-be ex-husband.

"Do you not remember?"

From that day on, the grand duke began acting strangely...

"If you think it was a mistake, let's confirm it. Let's do it again."

When I came to my senses, I was already in my husband's arms. And when I realized that his embrace, which I thought would be cold, was warm, our relationship had already crossed a point of no return.

...Husband, we agreed to divorce, so why are you so obsessed? <<less

She was deceived by her husband, used as bait, and ultimately killed.... more>>

I thought that was the end of it, but then I was brought back to the moment I first met him.

–

Aiden furrowed his brow as he studied Asralda’s short hair and flat chest.

“I heard that Oscar only has a daughter.”

Gazing straight into his cold, relentless eyes, she made up her mind.

“My sister died. Eight years ago.”

I will never, ever play into your hands again.

–

Aiden quietly reached out his hand, observing her face full of wounds. Then, he gently caressed her recent injury on her palm.

In that state, he couldn’t take his eyes off Asralda, seemingly tense for a long while.

Three days ago, Astralda’s voice echoed in his ears and still lingered in his mind.

“My sister died. Eight years ago.”

Aiden’s voice resounded in the silent room.

“Asralda…”

He couldn’t comprehend it at all.

“Why would you tell such a lie…?” <<less

I married him because of a one-night mistake.... more>>

"I'll give you the position of Duchess. But nothing more."

At first, I was relieved by the cold eyes, but as time passed, my expectations grew.

Thinking about it now, it was a vain hope that one day he will look back at me.

-

“Are you coming back today?”
“Why are you curious about that?”

Duke Walten looked at Kathleen with expressionless eyes.

“Do you want me to come back and be by your side?”
“… Yes, I wish you would.”

At her brave words, he laughed out loud. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer and whispered.

“Then, like a contract marriage, give birth to an heir first.”

Knowing that she couldn't...
Kathleen couldn't contain her tears and pushed him away.
He turned around expressionlessly, even as he saw her tear-soaked face. She looked at her husband and thought.

'If I can't really be your wife,
Then I really have to leave now.' <<less
