Echinecia Roaz was an ordinary Countess.... more>>

Until she suffered the cruel fate of being manipulated by a magical sword and killing all her loved ones.

[This miracle won’t happen twice. So, do your best and be happy.]

She turned her time back to change her own fate.

However, the root cause of the problem has not disappeared, and she is still not free from the past.

“I never talked to the Commander, how did you know me? I…… Did I offend you in some way?”

“There was no such thing. It was just that you stood out from the crowd and caught my eye.”

“Stood out? Is it because of my hair?”

“…… No, it was my personal interest.”

A man who has answers to her past and a woman who wants to erase that same past.

Will she be able to overcome her fate and become happy? <<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

While performing my duty as a top agent of the Information Guild, a sword pierced through my chest.... more>>

I definitely thought at that time I died without a hitch…

What? 8 years old?! Back to my hellish nursery days?!!

“Hi, I’m Diana!”

Just then, Diana, the youngest princess of the Duke of Elrad, appeared before me.

In order not to repeat the bitter regrets of my past life, I took care of Diana, and I was going to send this lovely daughter to the Duke of Elrad… but wasn’t she too nice to me?

“Sister! You’re really pretty! My princess! I’ll protect you!”

Then, Diana never wanted to leave me even just for a second,

“Am I an adult that you can’t rely on?”

“I’m sure I’ve warned you that men’s appearance isn’t everything!!”

Of course, the Duke of Elrad and his second son, who were known as indifferent to everyone except their family.

“I told you not to leave my side without my permission.”

Even the first son of the Duke, who’s famous for being cold, was acting strange!

I monopolised Diana’s affection, but why did everyone become obsessed with me? <<less

"Live like a mouse for a year. Don’t try to do anything or stand out." ... more>>

I ended up entering a contract marriage with the man I had been secretly in love with. On the very day I was given a terminal diagnosis.

I thought it was for the best. Because someone as insignificant as me would at least get to be his wife for a short while.

I resolved to live quietly for a year and then leave without a trace.

As promised, I lived quietly in the estate.

"I never thought of you as my mother in the first place. So don’t get any hopes." Said his adopted son.

The children left behind at the estate were ones carrying deep scars.

I never intended to become a mother to them, either. After all, I was someone who would leave soon. But...

"I know. But have you eaten?"

At the very least, I needed to feed the children.

Gradually, I began preparing for the end.

Not knowing that my departure might drive him crazy. <<less

Summoned to another world, the knight Leehwan willingly wielded his sword for the sake of his beloved.... more>>

However, what awaited him upon his return was only the chilling betrayal of his lover.

Feeling the imminent approach of death, Leehwan, in order to take control of his own fate, threw himself off a cliff.

And as if it were a lie, Leehwan found himself three years back in time.

To avoid the same future, he runs away from people, dreaming of returning to Earth.

In this journey of Leehwan, his friend Absalom, expressing a desire to protect him, intervenes.

Though swayed by Absalom, Leehwan could hardly trust him. After all, Absalom is the dragon who betrayed him at the last moment and had to be defeated. <<less

At the young age of 27, I fell for a professor’s sweet talk, worked to death as an assistant, and died of overwork, only to be reincarnated.... more>>

I thought God reincarnated me out of pity, but now I’m the only villainess in a novel?

To avoid my fate, at 15, I boarded a carriage to a convent.

…And then I got caught in a tornado out of a clear sky and died.

This time, I possessed the body of an assistant who had been scammed into a job.

f*ck…?

Since I’m alive again, I might as well live well this time.

…Just as I thought that, a war broke out.

“Kiel, come here quickly! I have a surefire way for us to escape safely!”

“Is that true, Professor Lemerun?”

“It is! Don’t you trust me?”

“No.”

“……”

Even bad relationships are still relationships.

Though I believed in my wicked employer’s ‘surefire escape plan’…

“Let’s hope for the 1% success rate of escape. As of today, our lifelong contract is over!! Congratulations!!”

I got hit in the back of the head.

I shouldn’t have trusted that experiment-crazy professor bastard.

His invention with a 99% failure rate exploded.

‘Please, just stop…’

Contrary to my desperate wish, I opened my eyes once again.

In my second life, where some unknown soul had wreaked havoc in my absence.

In the body of Serena Lavernia, the only villainess in the world, now 26 years old.

Damn it! This is too much.

[Congratulations, the World Tree has chosen you.]

“I’m not joining any religion.”

And that’s not all. Now there’s even a rabbit trying to scam me.

[In return, I’ll grant you any wish!]

‘…Can I drag those professor bastards here and make them my s*aves?’

…Fine, what does it matter if I get scammed a bit?

Even if I can’t join a religion, I must get my revenge.

I’ve worked hard, so let me take it easy for once in my life! <<less

Bliss, both a villainess and a catalyst for the main characters’ meeting, was destined to die today. Her mu*derer would be none other than her own husband, Marquis Caelan Adrian.... more>>

Around her neck lay her husband's gift—the very thing meant to take her life.

Without a chance to avoid it, Caelan's hand reached out in an instant and wrapped around Bliss's nape. She tensed up at the feeling of the large hand on her neck.

"I'll put it on for you."

The cold touch seemed to drain every bit of warmth from her body, leaving Bliss breathless. As she braced herself for death,

'What's going on?'

Something impossible happened. Even though the poisoned necklace was clearly constricting Bliss's neck, her breath didn't stop.

* * *

"Caelan, please don't kill me."

Bliss met his gaze directly as she spoke each word with determination. While she pleaded for her life and promised to end her wicked ways, Caelan merely watched her in silence. <<less

A noble serves the kingdom, they don't work for money. This was the absolute, unspoken rule of the aristocratic world. However, Jeanne de Toulouse, the eldest daughter of the venerable Toulouse count family, was different.... more>>

She'd worked as a tutor for young Master Mael, the son of His Majesty's mistress, for two years. One day, books by Enlightenment thinkers, known for disrupting the order of the monarchy, were discovered in the young master's study. And Jeanne was immediately accused of being the culprit.

"I've never even read that book! I'm hearing the title for the first time!"

Despite her claims of innocence, she was sentenced to exile. Her destination; the Duchy of Skadi, a land inhabited by barbarians, where the bitter wind blows.

Centuries ago, when barbarians from a frozen land across the sea invaded the capital city, the previous king granted this land as a fief, realizing their goal was simply to find habitable land. Now, the descendants of their chieftain held the title of Duke, recognized for their ancestors' contributions to protecting the kingdom.

"We've arrived at the Duchy."

After the arduous journey, Jeanne remembered nothing. All she recalled was the endless cycle of her whole body burning and freezing at the same time.

‘Even I've ended up like this…what if Mother falls ill from the shock?’

‘Wouldn’t it be better to just die here?’

At that moment, her spirit was as weak as her dying body.

After an unknown amount of time, a strange man's voice, different from the ones she'd been hearing, echoed from above her head.

"Did they plan to blame the barbarians again if she died here after being tortured just enough to survive exile?"

The voice was surprisingly resolute and powerful, enough to momentarily hold onto her consciousness, which wavered like a dying candle, briefly brightening and fading again.

"So, she's in this state simply from arriving here, without even being tortured? Even after the prince...lent his own steed? I'll take charge of her now."

With these words, laced with incomprehension, Jeanne’s body was suddenly lifted.

* * *

"Here, everyone works, regardless of age, gender, or social status. The land is vast and there’s a lot to do, but there aren’t many people. This applies to exiles who are occasionally sent from the capital as well."

The Duke of Skadi's words meant he was making good use of the labor of exiles, whether nobles or common criminals. But Jeanne was relieved.

"Then, when should I begin my work?"

“You’re quick to adapt to the situation. You said you were a tutor. What did you teach?"

"I taught foreign languages, humanities, logic, rhetoric, and arithmetic."

However, his suspicious gaze remained. He abruptly spoke in a foreign language. Jeanne had assumed the Duke was skilled in killing people, not humanities. But his knowledge was extensive, and his words revealed sharp logic and thought.

"Let's end this conversation here. I want you to become my child's tutor."

Typically, the lady of the house held the authority to hire nannies and tutors. As if reading her thoughts, the Duke of Skadi explained.

"I have no wife. The child you will teach is my adopted daughter and niece. She was originally my brother’s child, but he passed away, so I took on her upbringing. She turned thirteen this year. What do you think?"

Understanding the situation, Jeanne smiled brightly. There was something odd about the Duke's words, but at least she wouldn't die.

"Yes! I'll do it! I'll be the tutor!" <<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

Reborn as a sister of a villain with no blood or tears in a war-fiction novel.... more>>

Anyway, that guy, who plays ‘my brother’ role, is a villain who will be sealed by the Main Lead after losing the war. So I just need to pretend to be his little sister until he disappears.

No, at least that’s how I think …

‘Something in your right hand, is that the main lead’s head?’

My brother won the war.

“What’s with the suitcase?”

“Yes?”

At the tip of Dietrich’s long finger, there was a package that I had wrapped up as soon as he left for the battlefield.

“I asked what it is.”

“It’s, It’s a travel bag, brother.”

“Travel? Alone?”

Dietrich’s dark eyes glistened. The man who had just returned from victory had a strange smell of blood from mu*der.

“Will you leave me?” <<less

I died from overwork, living as a s*ave to a small company.... more>>

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself reincarnated as an extra in a dark confinement novel.

And somehow, I ended up being kidnapped instead of the female lead!

But something feels off.

I thought I’d be killed after being kidnapped, but instead, they’re just keeping me locked up?

They’re confining me… a homebody like me?

They never let me step outside, but everything I need is provided for me, and no one complains even if I laze around all day.

And on top of that…

“If you liked that pastry chef’s dessert, I’ll hire a new one.”

Do kidnappers usually treat their captives this well?

…Isn’t this amazing?

“Princess…”

“Yes?”

“Don’t you have any thoughts of going outside?”

No, of course not.

I plan to never step outside for the rest of my life. <<less

“You seem to have lost about two years of memories. It’s amnesia. Shall we try opening up your mind?”... more>>

After waking up in the hospital following a carriage accident, she was told she had amnesia. She was slightly taken aback by his words, but it was okay. Nothing had changed, so there was nothing to worry about. But that night, she found a strange warning in her torn diary.

[You must not love him.]

…Him? Who was he?

In the moment of uneasy questioning, a black carriage stopped in front of her mansion, piercing through the damp mist.

“Just a few days ago, you sent a breakup note, and today you’ve completely forgotten me?”

“You claim to have been my lover, yet you can’t even tell if I’m lying or not.”

“I… don’t know you?”

As if her words touched something within him, the man’s voice ominously lowered.

“…How much more do I need to know about you before I can say I know you?”

Suppressing his rough desire, his golden eyes sank deeply.

“I know everything about you, even the parts you can’t see.”

The owner of the luxurious opera house dominating Carin’s pleasure, Karl Winger, appeared, claiming to be her lover.

Suspicious headaches, a nighttime intruder, overwhelming inspiration.

What memories has she lost?

…Is approaching the truth really in her best interest? <<less

After a year possessed as an extra, I picked up the dying mastermind.... more>>

But this man seems to have amnesia.

“What kind of relationship were we?”

And a strange misunderstanding!

“Whenever I see you my heart beats violently, my head hurts like it’s going to break, and I feel dizzy.”

“Tha, that’s…”

“What is it if it is not love?”

That’s not love, it’s because I smashed the back of your head.

Dillian’s misunderstanding started then grew out of control.

“If we’re not lovers, we’re a married couple.”

“That’s not it…”

“I will take care of it, I will pay you for the rest of my life.”

“…”

“So wife, you must not leave my side.”

His touch reached my foot. Slowly and smoothly his hand climbed up, wrapped around my ankle.

As if, it’s like I got shackled.

“Lea, what if I leave, you will kill me?”

“How can I do that?”

He responded lightly with a smiling voice.

“I’m going to kill the man who took you.”

…I think I got caught by the wrong one. <<less

I suddenly found myself dropped into a fantasy kingdom story. But what’s the status of my scenario importance? Every time I act alongside the protagonist Leonardo, my scenario importance rises bit by bit.... more>>

Alright, if I’m stuck like this, I’ll cling to the protagonist’s side and try to survive until the end, no matter how pitiful it feels.

“Are you planning to leave me behind? If you do, you’ll have to watch your very own hero groveling on the floor, begging for just a sliver of your attention. Is that what you want?”

Maybe it’s because I’ve been sticking so close to him, but it feels like the protagonist is developing separation anxiety.

“Darling.”

Suddenly, he calls me darling.

Well, whatever. It’s the protagonist doing it, so there must be some reason behind it.

“Uh, yeah. Darling.” <<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

Askar was neither a good man nor a good father. He has no self-control and is impulsive.

Putting everything he has into his hands. Whispering only his violent affection without knowing that it would destroy her.

He is a pathetic emperor who is unaware of the damage to those around him as he holds on to a woman who has less than a month left to live.

A lonely emperor with the world at his feet, yet with no close friends by his side.

A man whose love can only end in destruction. Is it because you know that fact?

Even though all that remained after a relationship filled with violence was pain, Ashria didn't particularly hate him.

To remain silent until the end about the time she has left. This was the only resistance and simple revenge Ashria could give him. <<less

Finally feeling happy for a moment at the news of the original protagonists’ marriage, she returned after hearing about her mother’s passing…

…But why is everything all messed up?

No, more importantly, why was she in confinement?!

The original male lead, who was her childhood friend and fiancé, spoke.

“If I had known you’d fall for such a simple trick like a death notice, I would have done it sooner.”

The male lead, who she thought had married someone else, laughed at her with utterly crazed eyes.

Why was he like this now? He wasn’t like this before.
