And yet…

“Lord Castion is quite unfortunate, isn’t he. Out of all his countless memories, why were only the moments of his deepest love completely erased?”

Even he himself doesn’t remember it, but…
He was the man who had been my lover for seven years.

“Do you really think that child can overcome everything with love alone? That my son can be happy while bearing the harshness that has been ingrained by your hands?”

Because I knew he was someone far beyond my reach, I simply watched as he mistook my childhood friend for me and courted her.
Whether in ability or status, she was far superior to me, and he would be happier with her.

But then…

“You.”
“…….”
“Have we really never met before?”

Why must you come back to find me again, even beyond forgotten memories—

“You’re making me do things I’ve never done before. Things that drive me crazy.”

Why are you breaking down the final wall I had built so firmly within myself?

“You can no longer throw me away, Louize. Take responsibility for turning me into this mess.”

“I like you.”

Where the male lead turned villainous, threatening to bring about the end of the world. A hopeless place.

“I’m serious.”

To prevent him from going mad, I tried to differ from the original story.

In the original story, his craziness stemmed from the pretty bottom’s complete disregard for him.

So, I confessed first.

Expecting to be rejected.

“I have someone else I like.”

“Yeah, I know.”

In the original story, his confession was brutally trampled upon by me, leading to him turning into a villain.

“I’m a guy too. And so are you.”

“I know that. I just wanted to say it.”

I was relieved knowing he would reject me.

“Can we still be friends?”

He frowned and then sighed before answering.

“Huh.”

I smiled wistfully in relief.

Because I was turned down.

“This is my fiance.”

“What do you mean engagement between men?”

When he questioned me in confusion, I cheerfully responded.

“Actually, I’m a woman.”

I assumed it would be okay since he had rejected me countless times before.

“What?”

The moment I saw the surprise in his eyes, I realized something was terribly wrong.

The vivid madness flickering in his gaze was something I had never seen before.

The post I Give Up on the BL Novel’s Male Leads appeared first on tangerine archive..

* * *

A dirt spoon, Noh Hyeji, whose resentment over not owning a home runs deep.

But now, she’s a Guide Spoon?!
Apparently, that’s what it means to be an S-Class contact-type Guide.
(She decided to forget the fact that she only scored an F in radiative guiding.)

After six relentless years of saving money while working as the exclusive Guide and secretary of Han Kanghyeon, the strongest S-Class Esper alive…

Ta-da! She’s pregnant!

〈 If Party A (Guide) becomes pregnant due to negligence in contraception, the contract is immediately terminated once Party B becomes aware of the pregnancy. 〉

〈 Party B may claim damages from the Party A for violation of this clause. 〉

No! My precious apartment!

She finally bought her lifelong dream, a Han River view apartment, with a 20% mortgage, only to face the possibility of it turning to nothing.

She doesn’t want to leave Kanghyeon for another Esper. It’s not that she’s particularly attached to the Director himself, she just likes his money.

Just when all seems lost, a loophole in the contract shines a ray of hope.

〈 Once Party B becomes aware of the pregnancy 〉

So as long as the Director doesn’t find out, it’s fine?

“It’s not your baby, Director.”
“…You had a boyfriend?”
“Yes.”
“……”

Defend the Han River view apartment at all costs!
But why does Hyeji’s desperate struggle to avoid contract termination keep spiraling out of control…?

“Is p***s size a contract condition too?”
The man raised his left hand and spread his fingers from thumb to pinky.
“Do I pass?”

“Then how about joining us? We’re heading out to track down the Black Flame Dragon anyway.”

That’s me though……

I only pretended to be an ordinary person to avoid suspicion, but somehow, I accidentally became a member of the party.
And to make matters worse, they completely misjudged me as the weakest member of their group and started overprotecting me.

Even the hero, Kyle, seems weirdly obsessed with me…

“I don’t even know what this feeling is. But there’s one thing I’m sure of—Lysian, you’re truly important to me. So… stop making me worry.”

If I want to survive, I’m gonna have to uncover the hidden past of the mysterious Black Flame Dragon…!

But the fact that he was also a villain wasn’t the problem.

“Priest Yeshion. Is it true that you dishonored the saint?”

“…Does my answer even matter? You’ll kill me no matter what I say.”

Transmigrating as a villain? It can’t be helped. Destined to die? That also can’t be helped.

However, transmigrating at the point of his death, only to return to the same moment after dying, is too much!

Thus, when Yeshion was killed for the seventeenth time and returned for the eighteenth time at the hands of Eldis, one of the main gongs…

“Whether you kill me or not, do as you please.”

“No way… Could it be… that you’re doing this to die?”

For the first time, Yeshion’s resigned (and genuine) remark changed the situation!

But it’s too early to relax… The villain who died at the beginning of the novel had done too many evil deeds.

So Yeshion set a firm goal. Just throw it all away and run.

However…

“You hold my weakness, don’t you? Hold on to it and use it to shake me. You can do that.”
The archpriest who killed Yeshion seventeen times–Eldis.

“Shouldn’t you stay by my side and entertain me?”
The Crown Prince who is rumored to be a madman–Adelio.

“My ideal type? If I had to choose… you?”
Even the main shou and saintess of the novel—Rosaline!

Just a mere villainous extra… But no one is willing to let Yeshion go.

Can Yeshion escape death and find a peaceful life?

“Why, why did I have to return to this time…?”

She thought it was fortunate that she could return to the past, but… of all days, why did it have to be the day after she hit the peak of her dark history!
Changing her relationship with her husband and restoring her ruined reputation seemed utterly far out of reach.

‘The best course of action now is to just get divorced as soon as possible.’

Having returned to her previous life, she planned to divorce and start anew, except…
Her dark history of being a wicked wife keeps coming back to haunt her…

Nina Bayern (21 y.o.)
A highly selfish and self-centered person who fell in love with her husband, Ash, at first sight and went as far as blackmailing him to secure the marriage. She ended her life in loneliness but reincarnated into the modern world and lived a reformed life until she returned to the day after she reached the peak of her dark history.
After her return, she transformed into a warm-hearted, cheerful, and hardworking person.

Ash D. Bayern (25 y.o.)
An individual who volunteered to be the guardian of his nephew, the son of his late brother who genuinely cared for him despite being the child of a second wife. He was blackmailed into marrying his wife Nina but decided to continue their marriage for one more year.
He has a high sense of responsibility towards his nephew and a cold personality.

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.

“You’ve got nowhere to run now.”

What’s going on here!

It had been an unhappy life.

Despite possessing the power of purification, Irene was deemed the lowest rank, never having received anyone’s love or acceptance in her short life. Even in her final moments, she died alone and lonely, yet strangely, she found herself back in the past.

And not just any past but right before meeting her husband, Michael, the man she had ruined.

‘This is the first mistake I must correct in this life. That is…not getting involved with Michael.’

*

However, Michael seemed peculiar.

“I… I need you. Please purify me.”

He asked for purification first.

A paladin, this holy man, comes to me every night.

“Irene. My pair. My wife. Tonight, I want to be cleansed by you. Long and slow.”

You were definitely a paladin in a previous life who wouldn’t even lay a finger on me, right?
