“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.”

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…?

“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…!

“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.

“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.

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?
