Work as a Call Center agent

Overnight, I became the “servant” of the tyrant male lead in a romantic fantasy novel.

If you don’t give him the answer he wants within 3 seconds, he’ll execute you.

As the only henchman of the tyrant emperor, who changes his women every day, indulging in pleasure…

She has no intention of dying as the original. So, until the tyrant meets the female lead, she has to watch out for herself and run away.

Therefore, she started doing business to earn money for her escape

Saved a few ships to escape across the sea

She searched for the woman who could capture the attention of the tyrant and devoted herself to the education of his concubine.

Whatever the case, the remaining time until the fall of the empire is in one year.

I have to run away quickly.……

Surung—

The cold blade was pulled against my neck.

“Where are you going in such a hurry, Duchess Baloa?”

The tyrant has cut off my escape route. <<less

Cecilia believed that her husband, Eden, felt the same way she did.... more>>

Until he confessed that he had wanted to kill her.

Until he stripped her of her family name and trampled on her love.

Until she realized that his kindness had been nothing but a façade.

"I wanted to kill you too."

So, you despised me enough to want me dead.

That despair crashed over Cecilia like a tidal wave, dragging her into its depths.

But when she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the moment of their wedding.

"That painting will be proof of the eternal love I vow to you."

She had no way of knowing why the gods had granted her another life.

Yet, in this life, Eden was different. He said he loved her.

The hatred that had taken root in the wake of love and betrayal stretched endlessly before her.

Cecilia wanted to wrap her hands around the throat of the man who had once wished for her death—

The man who now claimed to love her— And ask him just one question.

Are we still in love? <<less

Others usually appeared as human when they possessed a book, but I… possessed a doll. It was also the favorite doll of the tyrant, whose head was sent flying by the male lead.... more>>

'I’ve already died once. I don’t want to die again!'

To survive, I must reform the tyrant.

To do that, I first need to move my body… What? Oh, it's moving?

"Are you really Chloe? No, who are you?"

The young emperor of the Burgundy Empire, a tyrant fated to die, stood before me. My goal? Reclaim my body while reforming him!

* * *

Her hair wasn't black. Instead, it was golden—shiny and bright, just like the doll's.

Standing frozen in shock, Declan asked again, his voice trembling.

"Chloe… Is it really you? But why do you look like a doll?"

Ever since the doll had moved its hand, he had hoped that Chloe might be inside it. Now, with a translucent figure resembling the doll standing before him, his hope grew.

Because in the end, people believed what they wanted to believe.

"I’m not the princess."

His eyes shook greatly at the firm response. <<less

Kim Dokja does not consider himself the protagonist of his own life. Befitting the name his parents gave him, he is a solitary person whose sole hobby is reading web novels. For over a decade, he has lived vicariously through Yu Junghyeok, the main character of the web novel Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse (TWSA). ... more>>

Through Junghyeok, Dokja has experienced secondhand the trials of repeatedly regressing in time, in search of an end to life-threatening “scenarios” that force people to act out narratives for the amusement of god-like “Constellations.”

After reading 3,149 chapters—long after all other readers lost interest—Dokja finally resigns himself to the story ending. However, he receives an enigmatic message from the author, stating that the story will soon be monetized, before his surroundings suddenly go dark.

He swiftly realizes that fiction has become reality and he is now living through TWSA. Although he is the singular omniscient reader of the events yet to come, his success in the scenarios is not guaranteed—but perhaps his advantage will empower him to step into the protagonist role that never suited him before. <<less

A genius schemer, creating an emperor!... more>>

“Only when your brother is happy can you be happy.”

She committed all kinds of evil deeds to make him Emperor. However, Artezia’s devotion was repaid with betrayal. It was the Grand Duke Cedric, a righteous enemy, that gave her a hand of salvation at the threshold of death.

“Devise a plan.”
“…”
“I can’t think of anyone but you who can reverse this situation. Marquess Rosan.”
“…”
“Lend me your strength.”

There is no plan that can reverse the already declining power and save the fallen empire. However, there is a method. To turn back time before everything went wrong.

With tears of blood she sacrificed her body to an ancient magic. This time, she will not fall.

Artezia, who returned to the age of 18 before death, resolved to become a villainess for the Grand Duke Cedric.

“Please give me your hand in marriage. I’ll make you emperor.”

In exchange for kneeling to the devil, the devil shall dirty her hands for you. <<less

“This is Team Leader Lee Sihyun, who is in charge of marketing at Hanseong Resort.”

For example, you might run into a subordinate you had to be a bit hard on during your military service due to unavoidable circumstances, and now that subordinate is your client. You know, those kinds of things happen.

“None of this really resonates with me.”

“Haha, but if you look at the planning intent here…”

“Viewers don’t read the planning document while watching ads. They should just feel it, right?”

“You’re absolutely right. Then we’ll prepare something that anyone can just feel right away.”

As much as it sucks, this is the situation where I have to deal with the consequences of my past actions, so I’ll swallow my tears and face it. I understand and accept that.

But.

“Do you want to choke me?”

“Pardon?”

“I think it would feel good.”

“Um, Team Leader… I’m sorry, but I think I misheard you just now. So, what did you ask for?”

“I asked you to choke me. But why are you suddenly speaking so formally? It’s just the two of us, don’t ruin the mood.”

“Uh, Sihyun, aren’t you the one ruining the mood? Asking me to choke you, what does that even mean?”

Why is it that only these kinds of things compound with interest, damn it… <<less

“Mr. Ho-woo.”... more>>

“Yes?”

“Have you had dinner?”

“I’m about to eat.”

A simple instant meal was something Ho-woo was used to. He lacked the cooking skills to prepare dinner, and as a modern-day office worker, he didn’t have the energy to learn cooking.

“I…” Oh-yul pressed his lips together for a moment as if choosing his words, then spoke again.

“I think I’m going to make too much food.”

“…?”

Not ‘made’ but ‘going to make’ – what an odd choice of words. Ho-woo tilted his head slightly as he looked up at Oh-yul. The esper before him wore a slightly troubled expression.

“So, would you like to have dinner together?” <<less

“I’m gonna live with Irene for the rest of my life.”... more>>

“….. What?”

“I said, I won’t get married and I’ll spend the rest of my life with Irene!”

I wish I heard it wrong. Regrettably, I couldn’t stop Claudia.

“As long as I have Irene, I don’t need anything else.”

The three men looked at each other, then glared at me with angry eyes.

The insane obsession of The Crown Prince’s possessiveness, the smiling Duke yet something malice hid underneath him, and the cold eyes of The Knight that sent chill to my bones. It’s as if they regarded me as their rival.

“Shit. What kind of situation is this?” <<less

Eventually, she became attached to the male lead and decided to become a real friend.

However, due to the disturbance of the male lead’s father and the that war broke out, we had to be separated for a long time, I thought I could barely meet him again and stay the same as before but….

Aren’t we just friends?! <<less

If I can’t avoid getting married, why don’t I change who I marry instead?

“Excellent, marriage sounds good.”

“Wise choice. Then let’s have a wedding ceremony that isn’t too ceremonious. Following that, I’ll need you to go down to the Fief and behave like the lady of the house until I call for you. Naturally, there won’t be any time to spend in leisure whilst dousing yourself in luxuries."

"I’m not marrying you, but your father instead."

“Do you still have any use left for me? My parents are dead, the monarchy has fallen. I have nothing. Your revenge is over."

“Madam, where do you intend to go to be happy?"

Heiner stretched the corners of his mouth and smiled.

Annette suddenly realized that his revenge was not over.

"I will take responsibility."

"How?"

"Is my title not enough?"

Buying time until the real Anastasia appears. That was the “deal” between the duke and her.

"You said you'd let me go when we’re done. What if you really like me?"

"Nevertheless, I will not do anything against your will."

But somehow, the duke became sincere to her.

"I'm already yours."

I was possessed by a 19+ romance novel. And I was in the body of Judith Harrington, who was forced into marriage after being sold off to pay off gambling debts.... more>>

My husband died on our wedding day, and the family is left in debt.

...Well, it was okay.

The mansion I inherited is rumored to be cursed and can't be sold.

...I could understand that.

'I'm not the kind of person who would be frightened by this, I'm the kind of person who's been through a dogfight and a possession.'

I vowed to make a business and live my life in the South this time. But... It's not fair that my husband's body doesn't rot!

"What have you done to me?"

My husband's dark green eyes swept over my naked body. An incomprehensible voice the frozen silence.

My husband had come back to life. A character in 19+ novels, with a very naughty misunderstanding.

***

"You're smiling."

To another man with her husband by her side?

Erne was incredulous and covered Judith's eyes.

"You're having an affair."

A snorting Judith yanked Erne's hand away.

"And how is this an affair, I'm widowed on my wedding day."

Judith stuck her tongue out to him and stalked back into the store.

I was just kidding when I covered her eyes earlier. Judith's comment that it's okay to laugh at her because she's widowed must be a joke.

I know, I know for sure.

"...I feel bad."

Why is it so dirty? <<less

I had possessed a villainess.... more>>

That villainess was called the great madwoman of the Kingdom of Maconia, but I cheered because Rene Blair, the evil woman, had a lot of money!

Although she was a character who died in the beginning of the novel, I thought I shouldn’t do anything bad.

I’m going to be nice to everyone from now on. Or live without being involved with the original characters.

So I tried to do well.

[Today’s mission: slap the waitress on the cheek]
Until the crazy translucent mission window popped up.

‘I’m going to be the maid from now on,’ I said.

Kwon Jungwoo kept being kind to me.... more>>

“Jungwoo, I think a lot of girls might misunderstand you.”

“I don’t act like this with girls. I do this because it’s you.”

“…Why?”

“What do you mean, why? There’s no chance you’d misunderstand me.”

I tried to suppress my feelings. Kwon Jungwoo was someone who never gave me any room for hope. I had no intention of continuing feelings that could never be mutual. Fortunately, I was quick to give up, so I was glad I realized it before it was too late. So, I tightly hid away my first love, which was also a one-sided love…

But one day, Kwon Jungwoo’s behavior started to become strange.

“Han Jiwon, I’m curious—do even perfectly normal people start acting like they’ve got a screw loose when they’re with you?”

“I’m not sure what you mean….”

“Let me just ask directly. Among your close friends, acquaintances, or even relatives… including same-s*x friends, since we’re being open-minded here.”

His eyes were sharper than usual, but the fingers visible behind them were restless, lightly tapping the steering wheel.

“Has anyone ever told you they felt like they were bewitched by you?” <<less

“You really don’t get it? You said your heart was racing, right? And your face felt hot? You couldn’t even make eye contact?”

“How did you know? Is it some kind of illness?”

“It’s love! Love!”

Kim Taekin is secretly crushing on Woo Min-jae, a high school classmate who’s now the P.E. teacher? Maybe he could be the key to bringing Kim Taekin’s soul back.

“Nice to see you. Meeting here, huh?”

“Who are you?”

“You don’t know me?”

But—

“Wow, seeing you again? Great! How about breakfast after this…?”

“Get lost.”

It’s not as easy as he thought.
