Mystery

She thought she was dead until she opened her eyes again and met him.

“Where am I?”

And she realized this wasn’t the place she had lived her entire life.
A body endlessly weakened; a whole new world that felt entirely unfamiliar.
The only place she could lean on in that unfamiliar place was,

“Ria, save her, my wife.”

He was the one that kept her alive.

However, before she could even sort out her confused feelings, three men approached her.

“I want you to know that everything I do is out of love and my desire to possess you.”

Another Duke confessed to her with a seductive, dangerous smile.

“Use me to get everything you want, take everything you desire, it doesn’t matter what it is, I can give it all to you.”

A Knight who claims to have cherished her from the beginning.

And then,

“I want to touch you. Let me touch you, Ria.”
Even the passionate prince, whispering with his golden eyes that she couldn’t look away from.

As they offer their own leash to her hand.

Sellakia Lensch, from a humble Viscount family, was strategically married to the Young Master Tenus Seidon out of necessity.
However, she soon realizes that the Seidon Ducal family is not where she belongs. Despite the continuous cold treatment, she lives a life of mere compliance until she loses her memory of the last seven days right before an accident disguised as an assassination attempt…
She lies to Tenus, who finds her after she was reported missing, claiming she has completely lost her memory. To free herself from the Ducal family and Tenus Seidon.

“But I don’t remember marrying you. I told you, I lost my memory.”
“Just because you don’t remember doesn’t mean our marriage never happened, Madame.”

Yet, for some reason, Tenus doesn’t easily accept this.

“It’s all because of you that he targeted me. I’ll resent you for the rest of my life.”
“Do so. By my side.”
“I won’t cooperate with you at all as the Duchess.”
“We’ll see. Up close.”
“…I’ll lead a debauched life, squander the Ducal family’s wealth, and tarnish its fine reputation.”
“I’ll cheer you on from the side.”

But you… Are you worried about me?

She could no longer stand on her two legs.
Her heartless family sold her off to a noble,
And she no longer shed tears even from the beatings of the man who was supposed to be her husband.
Just waiting to be beaten to death,
A miracle happened.

She returned to the time before she was sold off in a marriage deal.

*

She had perfectly functioning legs.
Now…she thought of changing the future.
She decided,
To escape from this hell.
To the embrace of the ‘devil’ who could protect her.

“I know how to break your curse.”

Duke Fernan Keallad.
Surrounded by rumors of being cursed by the devil, with his crimson eyes,
He had become an object of fear that no one could approach.
But he was the only one who could save her.

“What do you want?”
“Please propose to me.”

The man laughed as if entertained by the absurd proposal.
She came here to survive, but it was impossible not to fear the devil.

Would I be able to endure here?

But then…

“Madam! I told you not to overexert yourself! I’m worried you might hurt your precious body!”

The servants fussed over her every time they saw her,

“An angel, an angel has come!”

The residents of the estate exclaimed embarrassingly every time they saw her.

And moreover,

“How could I possibly defy you? Do whatever you wish, my wife.”

Why is this man so affectionate?
Wasn’t he supposed to be the devil?

This is a contract marriage, but it seems I’m being loved too much!

The Grand Duke of the North, Tehis, wanted to avoid marrying the princess.
So, he made the mistake of saying he liked things opposite to her.

Or was it fate?

He never thought the woman who matched his hastily assembled ideal type would actually appear.

“Then see you in the bedroom, my love.”

……And he never imagined she would kiss him in front of the princess at their first meeting.

* * *

Chloe only helped the Grand Duke on a whim.
She never expected to meet him again at the Magic Tower, nor to be offered a strange contract.

A dating contract? A wizard dating?

It was absurd, but the reward was too tempting to refuse.
And if she was going to do it, she decided to enjoy it.

“I’ll choose you. My ideal type.”

Chloe laughed.
The man’s cold face turning blank was amusing.

“Doesn’t it seem plausible that we started dating because we were each other’s ideal type? After all, both of us are fake, so there’s nothing to worry about.”

But will it really remain fake until the end?

Be careful of Michael. He is not a good man.

Letters from my dead friend started arriving. Is my friend Laura truly a villainess as the rumors say, or is her fiancé Michael the demon? As I delved deeper into my friend’s affairs, changes began to occur in me as well.
In my premonitory dreams that had been helpful for business, I keep seeing myself being killed.
Objects falling from the rooftop of a building and strange things mixed into drinks I’m about to consume.

“It seems someone is targeting you, boss. Let’s spread a rumor that you’re marrying me.”
“Will that reduce the threats?”
“At least I can save your life once in exchange for mine.”

Pretending to give in, I accepted his proposal, and a new situation unfolds.
Is my friend Laura really dead?

“I’ll catch all the scammers and go to hell myself!”

I lost all my assets after being scammed by my only friend.
To make matters worse, I even lost my life unfairly…

When I opened my eyes, I was possessed by an extra
in the romance fantasy novel .
Of all people, I became Espin Leon, a notorious pushover who gets scammed left and right and dies miserably!

‘Alright, in this life, I won’t just be a victim.’

I’ll scam the scammers first.
They need to experience the same thing to understand the victim’s feelings, don’t they?

So, while cleverly evading the law and backstabbing scammers.
For some reason, Grand Duke Holt, captain of the Imperial Knights – who serve as both prosecutors and police for the empire – keeps suspecting me.

“My lady. Do you really think I don’t know?”
“Know what?”
“Your true identity.”

Can I successfully eliminate all the empire’s scammers while avoiding the original male lead?!

The righteous scammer Espin and the scammer-catching knight captain Travis,
A sweet and dangerous romance of chase and pursuit between the two.

I was living my life as an ordinary Korean citizen, but one day I suddenly became Juliet Capulet.
For a moment, I was terrified that I had become the Juliet who had met a tragic end, but then I realized that this was a subtly different world from the original story.
I decided to live a peaceful life without Romeo.

However, a presence that disrupts my peace emerges…

“I’m writing a play based on Miss Juliet.”

After the appearance of William Shakespeare, the author of “Romeo and Juliet” every situation around them conforms to the script he writes.

To Juliet, who only thinks of survival, her tragic lover Romeo, no… The culprit behind all this, William, approaches her?!

‘Even if Shakespeare falls completely for me, can he complete such a story?’

William intends to finish the story as per the original, without knowing anything.
And Juliet tries to survive by twisting the planned tragedy.

What will be the conclusion of the new masterpiece they create?!

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

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.

[I 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 his 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?

“Sometimes, secrets we can’t fathom crawl through the shadows of London.”

The protagonist finds herself trapped in a horror VR game that was set in 19th-century London, a city teeming with crime. She wakes up in the body of Jane Osmond, the assistant to the cynical and socially awkward genius detective, Liam Moore.

Her goal is simple: reach the game’s ending and return safely to the real world. However, as she and Liam unravel the mysteries of their cases, the game’s features gradually disappear, and the world, which should be mere data, feels disturbingly real.

“Who am I?”

To make matters worse, her memories of her real-life self start to fade, plunging Jane into shock.

Then, she realizes one more unsettling truth: the gray eyes of Liam Moore, who is supposed to be just an NPC, are always fixed solely on her.
