Mature

Rose, the lady of Clematis, is notorious for her debauchery within the Empire.
Married two years ago, she and her husband Maverick maintain only a formal relationship as a couple.
However, when a sudden crisis struck, it was only her husband who moved to save her.

And now, having returned to the past, she is determined to become a true couple with her husband this time,
but Maverick continues to remain cold…

“…What are you doing, coming at such a late hour?”
Even his displeased voice sounded welcome. No, her heart was about to burst with excitement. Normally, she would have admitted she was crazy. But Rose was different now.
Chest.
Rose had been held against that chest.
“Wife, what are you…”
Thud, Rose’s hand touched his chest. Maverick flinched. Even his flinch was welcome — was it because he was alive? No, it didn’t matter.
‘What… is this.’
Maverick had died a miserable death at the end. She didn’t want to count or remember how many swords had been stuck in the body that had held her tightly. She just wanted to see if the chest where the swords had been was intact.
‘The feeling… it’s killing me…!’

※Please note that this work includes one black and white illustration for reference.

The world of toys begins when night falls.
Larien, a ballerina doll, had long been secretly in love with Jayden, a nutcracker doll.

Heartbroken by his aloofness towards everyone, she eagerly counted the days
until she could confess her feelings as the ‘Queen of the Festival’.

A week before the festival, she hears unexpected news.

“Hey, have you heard the rumor?”
“What rumor?”
“They say a toy repairman is coming on the day of the festival.
If that’s true, Jayden might be able to live with normal feet.”

As the dolls’ interest in Jayden soars,
and Larien witnesses attempts to seduce him, she grows increasingly anxious.

“You know, physical intimacy leads to emotional intimacy. Jayden won’t be any different.”

As she tried to hide her impatience, her friend’s words struck her.

Physical intimacy leads to emotional intimacy?
Since she didn’t have any better ideas, couldn’t this be a possible approach?

Larien comes up with an embarrassing yet alluring plan to seduce him.

Annelie Heich, or Nelie, was the daughter of the only printing house in a rural village, who dreamed of inheriting the family business since childhood with her interest in illustrations.

‘If only things could stay just like this.’

However, Nelie’s modest wish faded when her father collapsed, and she headed to Tevant, the city of arts, to study and revive the fallen family business.

“My wallet!”
“Haha! Thanks for the easy money, Miss!”

But life in the city, where people would take advantage of any weakness, wasn’t easy. After losing her tuition money, Nelie ends up working at a gossip newspaper that publishes sensational articles.

Then, while living such a harsh life, she accidentally crosses paths with the beautiful Duke of Tevant.
A drawing of the Duke that Nelie sketched out of curiosity unknowingly transforms into an obscene caricature and appears in the gossip paper.

“Shall we start with spreading false information?”
“What?”
“If you drew someone in such an absurd way, you must take responsibility.”

Nelie faces the crisis of being charged with defamation overnight, and the Duke visits her. Things couldn’t get any worse. Nelie makes an impulsive gamble.

“Well, Your Grace has a beautiful face, so… so your body must be good too.”
“And?”
“Na-naturally, that part must be, too.”
“Then let’s check.”
“…Pardon?”
“Let’s check and if it’s not true…”
“……”
“You already know what comes next.”

Will Annelie Heich, who only wanted to avoid defamation, be able to escape from this beautiful but prickly Duke?

Yuel finds herself kidnapped and trapped in an unfamiliar place. As anxiety begins to overwhelm her, she suddenly spots a familiar face in the darkness—Theo, the man she had loved, her first and last love.

“Why did you kidnap me, Theo?” she asks, but it’s not Theo who answers. Instead, it’s Cane, the third personality inside him.

“For the satisfaction of all of us.

Yuel is drawn by a curiosity for the unknown and the allure it holds. Her love for Theo, once endless, had ultimately come to an end when he decided to walk away. But their story didn’t stop there.

“What is the most effective way to completely possess someone?”

“It’s desire.”

And so, under Cane’s direction, the training begins.

This is the story of Yuel’s struggle to escape the three personalities that exist within one man.

May, who worked as a maid in a duke’s mansion, one day hears from a visiting lawyer that her grandfather, whom she didn’t even know existed, has passed away. Through his will, she inherits a vast fortune along with a picturesque, beautiful mansion.

Despite its beautiful appearance, the place has a reputation as the ‘Ghost Mansion.’ There, she discovers an old compass and subsequently finds herself in an ‘abnormal state’….

To resolve this, she needs to have relations with a man?

“Sometimes you need to take your master for a walk to make them appreciate you.”
Aiden, her former master who constantly bullied her but now follows her around like a leech, and

“Well, if you want, you can experience the thrill of sinning with a priest.”
Johan, a suspicious but kind pseudo-priest who always makes aggressive advances,

“I was contemplating. Wondering how much help I should offer to an inexperienced client.”
And Dominic, the aloof lawyer who actively offers ‘help’ to May…

She wanted to get rid of the abnormal state, not gain three men!

Your Highness, it seems that I’ve transmigrated.

In this waste romance novel where magic and holy power are status, Charlie, a member of the lowest class ‘Zero’, has lost her parents and worries about how to make a living day by day.

In order to make a living, she starts working as a maid, but ends up being tricked by the interviewer and entering the obsessive and crazy Duke Hector’s manor.

‘This doesn’t seem quite right…’

The only consolation is that there is still one year left before it descends into disaster!
One year later, the appearance of the female protagonist Liliana and the start of Hector’s mad obsession and massacre.

Just as she was about to retire after working hard, Hector, who had felt others’ pheromones as unclean, confronts Charlie and utters a single word.

“Sweet.”

‘Ah, this is really f*cked up.’

“I’m tired. I want to stop now.”

Dowook tilted his head slightly. He raised his subtly thick eyebrows as if to ask what that meant.

“You and I have been together for fifteen years, and we’ve been dating for eight.”
“Only eight years.”
“Yes, eight whole years.”

Dowook’s eyes darkened ominously. With those eyes, he called her softly, “Junhee.”

“I must have upset you because I’m drunk today. Are you angry because I called you out late at night while drunk? I won’t do it again. I’ll listen to you. I’ll be damn obedient. Please cut me some slack. You don’t contact me. You say you will, but you damn well don’t. So of course I’d be upset, wouldn’t I?”
“Being by your side isn’t enjoyable at all. It’s not exciting.”
“……”

He stubbed out his cigarette on the windowsill, glaring at her. His gestures were irritable. Then, as if the buttoned collar filling his nape was suffocating, he roughly pulled down the neckline of his shirt.
He glared at her as if he wanted to kill her. Junhee looked back at him defiantly. Dowook smirked.

“If it was going to be like this, we should have just had car sex.”

A low, deep laugh brushed against her nape.

——–

I found myself reincarnated in an R-rated game I had never played before.
Sure, it was absurd, but up to this point, it wasn’t a big problem.

The real issues:
First, there were four capture targets.
Second, one of those four just happened to be my ex-husband.
And finally, the third…

[Main Quest]
‘Establish relationships with all four male protagonists and achieve 100% affection!’
Reward – Escape and return to your original world
Failure – Death

[Sub quests prepared for you]
‘LV.1 – Experience climax with one of the male protagonists!’
TIP! Sub quests exist to make the main quest easier.

Glaring at the floating window as if she could tear it apart, Lysith vowed.

‘I will definitely escape from this damned R-rated reverse harem game.’

“If you’ve tamed me, you must take responsibility till the end.”
She possessed Merrien, the saint from a novel she had only read three chapters of.
The problem was, that Merrien was an extra who gets kidnapped and killed by the Archmage.

In this situation, she had no choice but to fill up the healing gauge as the damn system window commanded and return to reality!
As she was firmly determined and quickly filled up the healing gauge.

“Arf!”
“……How cute!”

A white ball of fluff appeared and wiggled in front of Merrien.
So she just healed that little white thing with her holy power, but…

“Hello, Merri. It’s our first time meeting in this form.”

For some reason, the white fluff transformed into a sickly handsome man.
And not just any man, but ‘Duke Ariel Hartez’, the Archmage’s younger brother.
***
“Merri, I told you before. I’d make the Archmage kneel before you.”

Ariel certainly did say that. After all, it was the condition of the ‘contract’ from the beginning.
However…

‘You never said that you were the Archmage!’

She firmly believed he was the Archmage’s younger brother, but what kind of situation was this?
While Merrien was busy racking her brains, Ariel grasped Merrien’s hand and brought it to his neck like a dog collar.

“If you’ve tamed me, you must take responsibility till the end.”
“……”
“Woof woof.”

[▶Error◀ Healing gauge has been reset to zero.]
[Healing Gauge 0/10000]

It seemed something had gone terribly wrong.

“Damn it… This is maddening. Are you trying to strangle me to death?”
The man’s voice echoes as the red moon fills the view. This is a prophetic dream. The man in the dream was the one who saved her from the hell created by her stepmother in her past life.
‘For his sake, it’s better not to get involved in this life.’
But after her regression…
“Why did you come only now, hmm?”
Once again, she found herself swayed by the man’s plaintive plea.
***
‘…Are you in pain?’
The gentle and attentive hand brushing his bangs was unmistakably reminiscent of ‘her’ demeanor.
Of course, he knows. If Evelyn were truly ‘her’, she wouldn’t fail to recognize him.
Then…
‘Who exactly are you?’

Adam, the first of humanity and the bringer of great miracles.
‘Cesare’, the Emperor born as the second coming of such an Adam.
And….
‘Jeanne’, the Eve destined to be his wife from the womb for the Adam-like Emperor.

To the Emperor, she is his only wife.
She is also the only woman who has borne the Emperor’s children.
Yet, until now, she has not been the Empress.

“I want a divorce.”
Jeanne could no longer bear to endure her husband.
Even after giving birth to six children, he still caresses her flat stomach….

“There hasn’t been a single moment when I haven’t cared for you.”
“I know.”
“Then….”
“But I don’t believe it. Your Majesty’s love….”

Jeanne, who was once full of love, now tries to run away even if it means abandoning her children,
Cesare begins to investigate what happened 8 years ago when Jeanne, who used to look only at him, started to change….

“I don’t understand why my confession of love for you, no matter what, hurts you.”

Can love be found among the shattered remains of pure love?

Celian Berrienne was once the daughter of a Marquis but fell to the status of a fallen noble along with her family. Without even having time to lament her miserable situation, she jumped into the workforce, because she had something to protect.

However, she didn’t expect to meet that man in the house where she became a tutor, attracted by the high salary. The son of the gardener whom she once treated as a lover, but who is now the heir to the Duke, Izer Chesterfield.

“Why are you staying still? You’re not the kind of person who just stays still like this.”
“……”
“Is it because you’ve been through so much hardship that this doesn’t bother you anymore, or are you thinking of clinging properly to Chesterfield now that it’s come to this?”

I walked right into it.
Into the house of the man who hates me.
