transmigration

I’ve reincarnated as the maid of the female lead in an R-19 tragic novel.

Saving the injured villain had set the stage for my beloved lady’s life to spiral into chaos. But I couldn’t let that happen. I’ll protect my lady!

I hid the villain, treated him, and made sure he left so he wouldn’t cross paths with my lady again. Yet, somehow, the villain returned to our estate.

“You can’t meet my lady, so you might as well turn around and leave.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m here to see you, Claire.”

It turns out the villain was looking for me.

“Why me?”

“Because I’ve fallen in love with you.”

It seems the villain has gone mad.

My husband is going to fall in love with another woman.
It’s male lead’s destiny to love the female protagonist.

And I’ve become my husband’s former wife, the one who must die before that happens.

I was his first love who would hurt his heart, but in the end, someone who’s just an extra would be forgotten as a memory.

Dying as per the original work is out of the question,

I don’t want a life of political marriage either,

And the thought of being cast out by my husband in the future is terrible.

If that’s the case, the only answer is a quick divorce….

“A divorce application without cause will not be granted.”

The problem is that it’s not up to me!

You say I need a justification to divorce because it’s a marriage arranged by the Emperor?

Then, shouldn’t I just create a reason?

*

“I don’t understand why you keep talking about divorce. Were you that lonely?”

Rashid naturally wrapped his arm around my waist. I found myself helplessly embraced in his arms.

Through my thin chemise dress, Rashid’s body heat gently transmitted. Along with the warmth, his scent intensely washed over me.

“What are you…”

Just as I was about to say, ‘doing,’

Rashid turned his head, attempting to press his lips against mine. His face drew closer and closer. It was about to touch mine at any moment.

“No!”

I quickly raised both hands to block his lips.

“I want you to live with me as my wife for just one year. Of course, you must bring that child with you.”

A soon-to-be unemployed and deranged prince proposes to Hailey, a single woman with a child. However, it seems the prince is actually targeting her five-year-old nephew.

“I’ve been looking for a woman just like you. The perfect ideal I’ve dreamed of.”
“Crazy bastard.”

Hailey ends up entering a one-year contract marriage with the mad prince. With her nephew Theo, she heads to the mysterious island of Winchester, determined to repay the prince’s grace like a grateful magpie. In the seemingly peaceful Winchester, mages and forest fairies start appearing.

“Daddy Axel.”
Her nephew Theo keeps calling the prince ‘daddy.’

“In a harmonious family, physical affection is a must.”
The mad prince’s flirting is going off the rails!

A chaotic journey of the three musketeers who seem like a family but aren’t, as they enter the grand duchy of Winchester!

Elena had been living a happy life as a supporting character,
having been reincarnated as the young lady of the peaceful Count of Jellisto family.

“From today on, our Jellisto family has decided to follow the Grand Duke’s house.”

Then one day, she receives a shocking order from her father
to serve Rudfelix, the Grand Duke who is the final boss among the villains in this novel.

Directly assist the Grand Duke’s evil deeds?
Isn’t the ending of this novel the Grand Duke’s death?

Suddenly becoming the aide to the villain boss,
Elena faces the greatest crisis of her life.
However, her ordeal didn’t end there…….

“Come to my bedroom tomorrow as well……”

“……”

“I’d like you to satisfy me like you did today.”

The boss she’s serving seems strange somehow.
Why does he keep calling me to his bedroom?

I Became the Invisible Wife of the Cruel Villain.
Though invisible, I had plenty of money.
I didn’t need my husband’s attention, and I planned to live a life of luxury.

“Um… When will you return from this outing?”
“You don’t need to know that.”

My cold-hearted husband says he’ll be gone for days, leaving me alone in the duchy.
Great! A chance to enjoy a lavish life by myself!

But then…

“Cough! Cough!”

What stained my hands was blood.
Damn it, I brought my previous life’s illness all the way here.

My husband, whom I thought had already left indifferently, turned to look at me.
His gaze fixed on my blood-stained hands.

Damn, what if I get kicked out for being sickly?

***

“Did you take your medicine today?”

Though he must have a lot to do as a villain, my husband doesn’t leave. Instead, he’s taken a seat right in front of my bed.

“Oh, right! I should take it now. Haha, I almost died.”

My husband’s expression turned cold.
It’s my life anyway, why is he so angry?

“I’ll make sure to take it properly from now on. So you don’t need to worry about it.”
So don’t worry and go do your thing.

My husband heaved a deep sigh.
“When you’re sick, I can’t do anything.”
He took out a pill and popped it into my coughing mouth.

“From now on, I’ll have to stay by your side and take care of you myself.”
He whispered in my ear.

Far from enjoying a golden spoon life alone, it looks like I’m about to be confined.

I was possessing a villainess in a book.

But for some reason, every time I turn sixteen, I return to being eight years old. This is now the fourth time I’ve been eight.

After careful reflection, it seems I regress whenever the second male lead dies. But why does he die? The original story hasn’t even begun yet.

Could it be because I haven’t lived according to the original narrative?

So, I decided to follow the original story this time. But what went wrong?

“How did you grow up this way? You were so small and cute when you were younger.”

“You raised me this way.”

“I did?”

When did I? All I remember is tormenting him like a proper villain. I looked up at him with questioning eyes. He pointed to his head with fingers that had prominent knuckles.
“You made me read books.”

Then he gestured to his lips.

“You made me learn magic.”

Next, he motioned to his hands.

“You made me practice swordsmanship.”

And finally, he placed his hand over his heart.

“You taught me things I shouldn’t have known.”

Speaking in a low voice, he took my hand and made me pat his head.

“You’re the one who made me like this, so you shouldn’t say such things now. No matter how big I get, you should keep adoring me, shouldn’t you?”

Seyeon, who accessed a random site called 〈Spin, Spin, Crazy Roulette!〉, ends up possessing someone.

Ding!
[You are the 〈Sickly Princess Whose Fiancé Cheated〉!]

Suddenly finding herself in the role of ‘Acelia Hedwig,’ an imperial family member she never imagined, she struggles to escape this chaotic world. But chaos is chaos for a reason.

[Status effect 〈Abandoned in this Shitty World!〉 has been applied!]
[You have triggered ‘You’re the first woman to treat me like this!’ on the Third Prince. Would you like to open the romance route? Y/N]
[A new possibility has been discovered. Would you like to add the 〈Empress’s Illegitimate Child〉 setting? Y/N]

No! No! Nooooo!
Besides, isn’t the Third Prince her sworn enemy?
What a prejudiced chaotic world this is.

While battling to deal with her rude and ignorant fiancé and his cheating partner, the Marquis’s daughter, Acelia encounters Joachim, a high priest with a suspicious aura.

“You seem different from the last time I saw you. Did something happen?”
“This feels… like you’ve been struck by a Sword Master’s aura. Did you do this, Your Highness?”
“I need to know the secret you’re hiding.”

Learning Joachim’s secret in return, Acelia teams up with him to escape this chaotic world. But the roulette keeps spinning! Hidden settings keep emerging!

“This crazy world, stop it already!”

Can Acelia escape this world?

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.

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.
Fuck…?

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 slaves?’

…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!

I found myself in the failure if a novel I wrote, in a position where I had to kill the villain and my favorite character, the Grand Duke.

I tried my best, thinking there was no choice if I wanted to survive……

“Slow. Too light and weak.”

Kaiel’s hands tightly gripped Delia’s wrists, which were holding the dagger.

“To stab properly, you should have aimed here. Again.”

It was another failure. He even blatantly gave me a chance, but my resolve to kill him crumbled like the wind.

“……Let me go.”

“No.”

Soon, his large hand gently pressed down on Delia’s back.
As a result, she collapsed helplessly onto his broad chest.
He pulled her completely into his embrace.
The more she struggled, the deeper she was pulled into him.

“Is today’s attempt over? Then sleep here.”
“……I want to go. Let me go.”
“It’s an order.”

He patted her back a couple of times as if to soothe her.
Along with a low whisper in her ear.

“Good night, Delia.”

He held her tightly, making it impossible to escape, rough yet infinitely warm.
……This is a big problem.

‘At this rate, I can’t kill you!’

The more my feelings grew, the less I could stay by his side.
So I ran away. To distance myself from him.

“Bring her back.”
“But Miss is already in the palace…….”
“Immediately……!”

What should I do with these feelings that have grown uncontrollably?

When I was reborn, I possessed the female lead of the novel I had read before.
However, this work was infamously known as a tragic story where the female lead falls and falls and falls again.
I refused to live such a life. A protagonist’s life! It’s only interesting when it’s someone else’s life, not mine, right?
Especially since the biggest trigger for the female lead’s downfall was getting involved with the male lead in childhood…!
What’s love got to do with it? Choosing a life where she couldn’t turn away from her feelings for the male lead, stepping into all sorts of thorny paths, and only being happy for the last three volumes and a few side stories.
So I mustered up my courage and decided to live not as the female lead, but as an ordinary rural noble.
But then….
At eighteen, the year I was supposed to have my debutante ball, my family went completely bankrupt.
‘Why?’
I can’t just sit down in this absurd situation!
I have to pay off the family debt and also maintain my peaceful and happy life.
But of all things, the highest-paying job I could do was being the ‘male lead’s’ assistant.
I really didn’t want to get involved, but you have to do what you have to do to make a living, so I gritted my teeth and became the male lead’s assistant.
But, while he was so devoted to the female lead….
As a boss, he’s completely evil?!
Once I pay off all the debts, I’m going straight back to the countryside to live a life of poverty and contentment.

But this male lead.

“I’ll triple the bonus, and everything you get is yours.”

Not content with tempting me with money.

“No, you’re my fiancée.”

Even though it’s a contractual engagement, he has no intention of letting me go.
I really want to go on strike as a protagonist!

It’s ruined.

“…Killian… stop, you can’t go there…”
“Huh? Why, Dellian?”

I happened to witness the romantic escapades of the female lead and the villain.
The female lead and the villain have fallen in love!
If this goes on, the female lead will have a confinement ending, and the male lead will have a death ending.

Fortunately or unfortunately.
I’ve possessed the character who is the female lead’s best friend and who will become a villainess in the future.
I was just planning… to pair up the female lead and the male lead and then quietly make my exit.

“It’s because of me. He said his feelings haven’t changed, but I bored him to death and that’s why he left.”
“……”
“Other things mean nothing to me… Without that person, I have no reason to exist.”
“……”
The female lead, who had faleen deeply in love with the villain, continued screaming her heart out….

“I heard you have it too. Insomnia.”
“I, I’ll just live with my insomnia.”
“I’ll help you. It’s nice to sleep together. And don’t even think about doing it with another guy.”

That villain made an XX-like proposal.

***

Starting with a coincidence that was meant to be fate, I got deeply entangled with the male lead.
But then.

“Daisy.”
“Yes?”
“If you don’t want it, I won’t ask about the past anymore.”
“……”
“But. Don’t avoid me. Just stay like this now.”

That male lead, who was only ever kind to me….

“You dry up people’s blood like that.”
“Ah…! Huh…”
“Do you find it fun to torment me? Huh? Daisy.”

Had become a very obsessed man.

Yes.
Something has definitely gone wrong.

I woke up in the body of Ailexia, a supporting character with a harem, in a 19+ dark[mfn]AKA 피폐물 or ‘waste novel’ which is often used to describe novels that focus on themes of emotional and psychological hardship, degradation, and suffering. These stories typically feature characters who go through intense emotional turmoil, trauma, or abuse, leading to a sense of exhaustion and deterioration, both mentally and physically[/mfn] novel written by a friend.
And it had to be in a bizarre situation where I was trampling on a man.

The problem here is…
The man being trampled on is the original male protagonist who kills Ailexia.

I tried my best to avoid getting entangled with the male protagonist.

– ‘Intertwine your bodies.’

I fainted at the sound of a strange voice, and when I woke up, I was lying in bed with the male protagonist.

– ‘…You’ve had your fun, why don’t you go back?’

…It seems like something big has happened.

***

I tried running away, pretending to be Ailexia, and diligently searched for a way to return. Perhaps because of my earnest efforts, I was finally able to return to my original body. But…

“It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter anymore. So, don’t leave me alone in this abyss.”

Even the original male protagonist who kills Ailexia.

“From now on, embrace me. Not anyone else.”

The duke who always looked at me with contempt.

“If I can have you, I will do anything without hesitation.”

The Grand Duke who always scolded me with an angry face, looked like something’s off.

“Today, we will dine together. Stay by my side until everything is ready, Asha.”

Even the Emperor, who was described as indifferent to Ailexia, is acting differently.

***

I finally returned to my original body.

Of course, I thought there would be no more problems…

“I’m sorry.”
“…”
“I won’t miss you a second time.”

The moment she saw him, filled with deep possessiveness and joyful satisfaction in his eyes, she instinctively knew something was wrong.
