1. transmigration is not a big deal

So, it was a common and boring story.

One day, she possessed a game character, and it turned out to be an R-rated game. Isn’t that something that could happen quite often in the 21st century? It was certainly surprising that what she had only read in novels happened to her.

For someone who could calmly accept situations, this was not a big deal.

The real problem was something else.

[Congratulations on your transmigration, Lysith Gronevelt!]
[We will introduce you to a way to escape this world.]
[Clear the main quest, and you will be given the opportunity to escape as a reward!]
[Main Quest]
‘Establish relationships with all four male protagonists and achieve 100 affection points!’
Reward – Escape and return to the world you lived in
Failure – Death

The content shown in the sudden system window was so absurd that it was hard to even be surprised.

After reading and re-reading the quest content for a long time, she muttered like she was spitting out what she had been holding back.

“……So, you’re telling me to form a reverse harem? An R-rated reverse harem?”

[Are you overwhelmed by the main quest? Special service for you! Sub quests are prepared.]
[Would you like to check?]

“……Just show me.”

[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.

Looking at the window floating in the air as if it was mocking her, Lysith screamed.

“What kind of crazy game is this!!”

It was a situation where she couldn’t help but curse. Yeah, transmigration in a game? That was fine. She had played those kinds of dating simulation games before. A reverse harem? Sure, watching the male protagonists fight for attention could be fun.

The real problem was that it was an R-rated game on top of all that.

Even if she wanted to deny it, the game clearly indicated it was R-rated. Relationships implying s*x, climax……. Such things are fun to watch, but she never imagined wanting to be the protagonist herself.

As she clutched her head and panted, she barely calmed down and looked at the window again.

[Rewards are given for completing specific sub quests.]
[Currently, 1 reward can be claimed.]
‘Passive: The Melancholy Of A Divorced Woman’

“……I’m even a divorcee?”

Maybe because of the excessive shock in a short time, she barely turned her head to check the mirror, which reflected a woman with white hair like the clouds in the autumn sky and cool blue eyes. Her face couldn’t hide the absurdity she felt.

As she slowly tried to examine the body she possessed, she didn’t even notice that the appearance of this body was quite outstanding.

“Could it be… that my hair turned white from the shock of being divorced?”

As she turned her head back to the system window, a new sentence appeared as if knowing her curiosity.

[Would you like to view the memories of ‘Lysith Gronevelt’?]

“Yes.”

As soon as she nodded, a window like a CCTV screen unfolded.

The window showed Lysith Gronevelt from the time she was born. However, it seemed to reveal only the minimal information necessary for her to live as ‘Lysith’.

……And fortunately, her hair didn’t turn white from the shock of divorce. The child’s hair in the screen was also purely white.

Lysith, who initially appeared as a child, grew into a girl, and then into a mature woman. Finally, she stood on the stage of an arranged marriage.

“I was married… to a Grand Duke?”

She stared intently at Lysith’s husband ― now her ex-husband.

With neatly slicked-back black pomade hair and sharp features that suited him annoyingly well, he was a typical handsome northern Grand Duke.

However, unlike the grand and elegant wedding, the marriage life was not smooth.

Lysith liked the Grand Duke and couldn’t hide her feelings. The man, perhaps annoyed by her affection, treated her coldly.

A bride abandoned on the wedding night. A wife who couldn’t even get a response, let alone a greeting, when her husband returned. Watching the carefully prepared food go cold with a bitter smile…….

“Welcome back. I have something to tell you…….”

“Later.”

Whenever she said she had something to talk about, he would say he’d listen later but never did,

“Dietrich. I, this…….”

“…….”

When she prepared desserts and brought them, he would look at her with cold eyes, reluctantly take them, and then stash them away somewhere unknown,

“I want to be of help.”

“Not really.”

Everything Lysith did for him was dismissed as not really helpful.

The memories of his cold treatment were endless. One of Lysith’s hobbies and specialties was embroidery, but he never carried the handkerchiefs she made.

After countless repetitions of such daily life, a relatively recent memory began.

It was a memory of Lysith, who always smiled timidly, desperately seeking the wedding night from her husband as if she was chased by something. But despite seeing her desperate face, his answer was a refusal.

Moreover, whether he found his wife extremely annoying or simply disliked her, he mentioned divorce right there.

“Sigh……. Was it so hard to just stay still as the Grand Duchess? You’re asking for more than you should.”

“…….”

“Let’s divorce.”

“……What?”

“There will be no problem for your family. The discussion with His Majesty was already concluded at the time of marriage.”

The memory flowed again, showing Lysith entering this mansion after the divorce, and then the window disappeared as if the TV was turned off.

“What is this…….”

The original owner of the body she possessed, Lysith, did nothing wrong.

She might have done something strange behind the scenes……. But the servants’ eyes filled with pity for her indicated otherwise. At least, it was clear that she was just an ordinary wife.

While they skimmed over her growth and study, they showed most of her married life as if it was something she must know.

The memories of Lysith, which she watched like a video, naturally seeped into her. As she struggled with the strange sensation of absorbing someone else’s memories, even the fragments of emotions she hadn’t noticed before came along.

Injustice, sadness, pure love for her husband despite everything. And…… betrayal and despair.

‘Betrayal……. There didn’t seem to be anything to feel betrayed about. ……But I have a bad feeling about this?’

As soon as she had that thought, the window appeared again with a ding- sound.

[You can check the list of male protagonists.]

Fine, let’s see. She clicked on the list with that thought, and what appeared was…….

“This is definitely a crazy game.”

[List of male protagonists]
-Dietrich Clonair
-???
-???
-???
[The remaining male protagonists will be automatically unlocked after direct encounters.]

Dietrich Clonair.

He was Lysith Gronevelt’s ex-husband.

Really, truly, completely, it was definitely crazy.

“Okay, let’s calm down……. Calmly review the situation.”

Barely managing to put strength into her weak legs, Lysith slumped onto the sofa and started speaking while counting on her fingers.

“Okay, this crazy game transmigrated me into the body of a divorcee. But? It tells me to form an R-rated reverse harem with this body. That could happen. But there’s another problem. My ex-husband is included as a target?”

Just saying this much made her feel a headache coming on.

“But……. Conquering all four male protagonists, including my ex-husband, and se… s*x……. If I can’t complete the main quest, I’ll die?”

After she finished reviewing her situation, silence filled the room. And that silence was soon shattered by her scream.

“Aaaah!”

Should I just die……. No, but I don’t want to die……. Why did I have to possess this kind of place. Others get sent to lovely romance novels, but why me……. Sitting on the floor, clutching her hair with both hands, she muttered endlessly to herself like a madwoman.

How much time had passed like that. Finally, having compromised with herself, Lysith decided that rather than dying without trying, she would at least try and then die.

Maybe, just maybe. If she succeeded…….

It wasn’t the time to worry about first experiences or anything. Surviving came first. And if the male protagonists in an R-rated game were usually handsome and skilled, that was some consolation.

Though unfortunate, her ex-husband Dietrich was indeed handsome enough to live off his looks forever. His personality was rotten, though.

Anyway, based on Lysith’s memories, it was likely that the other male protagonists would also have looks, wealth, and status comparable to Dietrich. That way, none would be overshadowed during power struggles, and the under-the-surface conflicts would be interesting.

Thinking along those lines, if she inferred based on Lysith’s memories, there were two people with high possibilities.

The Emperor of the Faeous Empire and the Master of the Tower established in the neutral zone.

‘Then who on earth is the remaining one?’
