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.”

Magicians and Awakened Ones are like sworn enemies.

And I was the leader of the magicians.

I tried to run away from the Emperor, who is the male protagonist and my sworn enemy, but the system interfered.

[Select a branching point without revealing your identity.]

Yes, let’s survive. Without revealing that I’m a Guide, I’ll escape this crazy original work and live well on my own!

I was trying to live without any presence, but…

“If you played with someone, you should take responsibility.”

The Emperor, who is the male protagonist of the original work and Imprint Candidate #1, became obsessed with me because I guided him like a one-night dream.

“Darling. You smell so good. Can we do it again?”

Serwin, an excessively pretty man who wasn’t even in the original work, smiles mysteriously and flirts with me as Imprint Candidate #2.

“I gave everything to the Family Head!”

The sickly beautiful magician who follows me around has risen to Candidate #3.

“I will protect you.”

The Emperor’s knight, who used to charge at me like an enemy, now declares he will protect me and becomes Candidate #4.

“I want to know more about you.”

And now even an upright and diligent Cardinal, full of intellectual curiosity, appears as the final Candidate #5. What am I supposed to do?

And in the midst of all this, a quest appears.

<Stop the mastermind trying to open Gates and throw the world into chaos>

<Prevent the rampage of the Emperor, the world’s strongest, and obtain the role of ????>

Argh, what am I supposed to do?

My goal was to be a Duke who lives comfortably after retirement!

“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

*Male Lead: Han Kanghyeon (26/32) – The current strongest S-Class Esper (psychic) specializing in mental abilities and Director of a private military company. Kind to everyone, yet guilty of never loving anyone.

Lorienne is the sorceress and owner of the magical potion shop, Loftis, who claimed to be able to create anything. One day, a man as radiant as the sun visited her, tossing a pouch brimming with gold coins, expressing his desire to become a dog.

“Please tell me your name. Of course, most people tend to use fake names, but it doesn’t matter. It’s simply to distinguish and mark the owner of the potion,” said Lorienne.

“Kyle Astum.”

This man, who uses the name of the next emperor known as the ‘Demon of the Battlefield,’ as an alias. He seems like a great gold spender, so I must handle him gently. He’s the customer who pays the highest price for the potions, so I can’t afford to lose him!

The sassy platinum-haired sorceress Lorienne and the handsome flower of the Astum Empire, Kyle, engage in mutual denial, fumbling around, bursts of jealousy, tsundere behaviors, and heart-pounding romance!

The Emperor pounces Lorienne once he turns into a dog!
You didn’t turn into a dog for this! Have you forgotten something important, Your Highness?

“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…!

Iann, the supporting male lead who was reincarnated in a romance fantasy novel where he gets horrifically murdered by the main male lead.  

To avoid his future death, tried to get close to the main male lead, Kallian, like any other reincarnated person would.

But the two were polar opposites and eventually ended up as bitter rivals.

Time passed, and as the novel’s plot unfolded, Iann, who occasionally bothered Kallian through the original female lead, began planning his escape.

Then, suddenly, Kallian’s demeanor changed.

* * *

Instead Kallian asked Iann once again.  

“If you’re serious about liking me….”  

“…….”  

“You’re saying I should kiss you, right?”  

“Ugh, yes! I’ve told you so many times. If you’re serious, then do it already…”  

Iann shut his mouth. In an instant, Kallian’s red eyes were now right in front of him.  

‘I-it seems like he’s serious. Should I just say it was a lie and run away…?’  

As he felt Kallian’s breath and warmth drew closer, Iann immediately regretted it. Should he try to escape now?  His hand twitched, but some lingering doubt held him back. Could Kallian really like me?

The truth was, from the moment Iann started worrying, it was already too late.  

Kallian hadn’t stopped moving once since taking that first step.

“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?

The post Villain, Let Me Touch You! appeared first on tangerine archive..

He leaves at dawn every morning and returns late at night, which raises questions. However, there was nothing strange. He just works hard and comes home.
We were supposed to stay out of each other’s personal lives since it was a contract marriage anyway…….
Why do I sometimes feel uncomfortable around him?

“The emperor is still not married.”
“That’s a big deal.”
“I hope you can quickly abandon me and marry someone else…….”

My husband Dale is an honorable mercenary well aware of my situation. I hired him on a 364-day marriage contract to try and break off her marriage to the Emperor.

Dale is unlike the Emperor, being pure, innocent, and affectionate.
One day, when I thought “You should marry a man like this.”

A problem arose.

***

Eventually, the day came when I had to return to my noble family.
However, I decided to return to Dale and request that he remain faithful to me.

“You can’t just open the door for someone you don’t know because I’m not there.”
“Yes.”
“Even if you’re close, don’t lend money carelessly.”
“I’ll definitely remember.”
“Don’t even cry because you miss me.”

Ah…… don’t want to part with Dale.
But I have no choice but to go to the Duke’s, and I’m barely able to keep from falling.

“Your Majesty, the magic circle for the portal is complete.”
“Let’s go.”

She was completely unaware of what was going on in the background.

“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.

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?

The post I Just Wanted to Avoid Death 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?
