She had transmigrated into a dark, R-19 novel, one where the monster duke, driven by the dragon blood flowing through his veins, periodically rampages, and can only be purified by sharing intimate bodily dialogue with his mate.

The problem was the ending of this story.
In the end, the duke fails to find his true mate, rampages, and the world is destroyed!
And on top of that, she was an extra, destined to have her holy power sucked dry by the fake mate until she died!
And she was supposed to accept that fate…

‘…Like hell I am!’

She staged a daring escape, only to land straight in the arms of the monster duke, who was on the verge of a rampage himself.

“I’ve come to make you an excellent offer. Now that I look, it seems you haven’t yet found your noble one.”
“Noble one?”
“Worry not! I will make sure your true mate…”
“I was under the impression that my mate had already been decided.”
“Master, that woman is a fake!”

By stubbornly insisting and digging in her heels, she barely survived and secured a place at the duke’s side.
All that remained was to use her knowledge of the original story to solve the duke’s rampage problem and find his true mate!
Lucy was confident.
Confident that in this dark and turbulent world, every bit as harsh as her past life, she could survive like a weed and escape.

* * *

…Or so she had thought.

“I’m hurt, Lucy.”

You said you’d help me find my true mate.
The duke’s lips curled as he whispered.

“As always, you’ll just have to purify me yourself.”
“…”
“Though this time, I’ll have to receive it properly.”

Just why is it turning out like this?!

“Vanessa.”

“….”

“Is life so tedious?” he drawled, incredulous. “That you’d waste it entangled with the likes of me?”

※ This novel’s chapters are half chapters, but they’re numbered normally to make things simple.

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…?

*Setting/Genre: Contemporary

*Keywords: contemporary, fantasy, unexpected pregnancy, age gap couple, power dynamics, physical attraction before emotional, tsundere ML, sly ML, highly capable ML, cold FL, quirky FL, romantic comedy, explicit content

“I’m retiring.”

Eagerly, I threw in my resignation to embrace a blissful retired life. But…

“You only have six months left.”

On the day I resigned, I was suddenly on death’s door due to the transmigration. To survive, I must be by the side of the person whose name is imprinted on me.

But the person who has imprinted on me is…

“Your fever is too high, Rienna.”
“I’m in so much pain… Your Highness.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll find a way to save you.”
“Your Highness…”
“Focus on me right now. See? I’m kissing you like this.”

Helios, the villain who was both my patient and employer.

A body whose aches and pains disappear only when it touches Helios.
Helios, the man destined to imprint with the heroine.

Will I survive?

“All you need to do is love me and my country, and bear my child. Then, you’ll live without any want.”

A man known as the monster of the desert, without blood or tears. His treatment was excessively generous, just as he promised. One seemingly peaceful day, Nisha accidentally discovered the truth about the royal marriage.

“When do you plan to conduct the sacrificial ritual, Kagan?” “After she finishes her current task and bears my child.”

That day, Nisha felt an urge to kiss the man for the first time. To the savior who would grant her the death she longed for.

The post I Became a Barbarian’s Bride appeared first on tangerine archive..

In front of me appears a duke who, saying I resemble his lost daughter, wants to adopt me.

It seems I’ve somehow possessed a character in a regretful family story.

But then…

“Try calling me ‘big brother.’”

With a strange eldest brother.

“Your innocent and cute expression doesn’t work on me.”

“Pardon? I didn’t do anything….”

“It won’t work.”

The second brother, who only spouts nonsense, becomes obsessed with me.

***

Then, I meet potential male leads.

“An angel’s presence sparkles around you.”

Is this his way of introducing himself?

A candidate priest who looks just like an angel.

“You’re welcome to marry me.”

My childhood friend, who out of nowhere tells me I can marry him.

“Finally found you. Thanks to you, I spent a few extra hours in that pit.”

Even the Crown Prince, whom I purposely avoided, is searching for me.

“INTJ? I’d prefer to be an F.”

“Unless the archduke  loses his memory, is reborn in a harmonious family, and develops healthy hobbies and relationships, changing his MBTI is difficult.”

Not even beating up the creator would help….

The northern archduke fixates on the MBTI I taught him without much thought.

Something is definitely off-kilter here.

Can I really accomplish my goal of securing a fortune before the real daughter returns, by finding the main male lead?

“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.

“I heard the Count got scammed again?”
“She’s covering the debts her older brother borrowed?”

A family that indulges in luxury and pleasure despite their dire financial situation.

“If there’s no one to work, then you’ll have to do it yourselves! Laundry, cleaning—there’s nothing you can’t do on your own!”

She fights every day, trying to raise her young nephew properly.

“Still, Lady Devon is really something…”
“With a face like that, who would marry her? She already looks so mean.”

Thanks to that, rumors of her being an ill-tempered young lady have spread all over the capital.
Naturally, marriage is out of the question for her.

Then, a prince on a white horse appears before her.
No, rather, it’s the crown prince of the empire.

“Lady Courtney Devon, will you marry me?”

And he’s outrageously handsome!
Though suspicious of his intentions, Courtney quickly accepts this unexpected blessing.

However, she soon learns the truth about him.

“For having acted without your permission, Master, I would love to have my… my cxck stepped on… by your foot…”
“Crazy.”

The Crown Prince, her fiancé, Richard, is a pervert.
And not just any pervert—a completely irredeemable one.

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!

The post Thought It Was ‘The End’, Only to Return to a Changed Genre appeared first on tangerine archive..

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?
