Myeongok is just your typical 49-year-old mother living her life with her family--at least, that’s what she’d want you to believe. When two people from another world suddenly show up and ask her to help save their world, she refuses. She has a family now and can’t risk putting her life on hold... but will she be able to say no if her daughter is involved? Will Myeongok be able to find some way to save this other world and protect what’s dearest to her as well?

After the girl meets the prince, they live happily ever after, but don't you wonder what happens to the others? My name is Lynette Camellia, and after helping my sister meet her Romeo, I started a gossip column about the empire for fun. But instead of just writing about drama, I'm living it. Not only am I trying to escape an engagement to a man twice my age, but Prince Lucas wants to use me and my column to take down the evil crown prince! Who knew that a fairy tale could be so... dramatic?

An empire stained with blood. That day, consumed by a cursed sword, I struck down the people I loved most with my own hands. Fifteen years have passed since I was tainted by the cursed blade. Now, as the one who possesses all ten legendary swords forged by mankind, I made a wish to the Sacred Sword: "Send me back to a time when I hadn’t killed anyone." Time rewound to the moment before all the tragedy began, and the sword was still in my hand. This time, I won’t let it happen again. Not the cursed sword, not fate, not anyone— no one will ever wield me at their will again. “There won’t be a second miracle. This time, I will be happy. No matter what.”

Echinecia Roaz was an ordinary Countess. Until she suffered the cruel fate of being manipulated by a magical sword and killing all her loved ones. [This miracle won’t happen twice. So, do your best and be happy.] She turned her time back to change her own fate. However, the root cause of the problem has not disappeared, and she is still not free from the past. “I never talked to the Commander, how did you know me? I…… Did I offend you in some way?” “There was no such thing. It was just that you stood out from the crowd and caught my eye.” “Stood out? Is it because of my hair?” “…… No, it was my personal interest.” A man who has answers to her past and a woman who wants to erase that same past. Will she be able to overcome her fate and become happy?

I was just an ordinary office worker... until one day, I found myself in the body of Belinda, an extra villain in a hardcore life-simulation game. A character doomed to abuse the protagonist and meet a tragic end. But just because I became the villainess doesn’t mean I have any reason to torment him. Instead of tormenting him, I'll spoil him completely! "Here, Leo. Say 'ahh'~" [Synchronization error detected. Translating into Belinda’s language.] "Open your mouth, Little Nutty." This stupid system keeps twisting my sugar words sound like poison. But... somehow, being a villainess fits me better than I ever expected. "You lazy fools! How many times must I tell you to lay a red carpet wherever I step?" "Go buy limited-edition macarons in every flavor from the kingdom’s top patisserie." "Too hard to get? Idiots. Just camp in front of the store!" Money, power, beauty. I threw every resource at the system to solve every problem Belinda faced. But... "Bel, won’t you marry me?" "Master, why don’t you like me?" "Lady Blanche, you are the only exception in this black and white world." The patrons who once killed Belinda in the game suddenly changed their attitudes. And if that wasn’t enough... "I, the Grand Duke of the North, propose a contract marriage, maintaining married life for a set period before divorcing by mutual consent." Even a contract marriage from the Northern Grand Duke. Maybe... I really was born to be wicked?

A blood-soaked empire. That day, consumed by a cursed blade, I cut down the ones I loved most with my own hands. Fifteen years have passed since the sword tainted me. Now the wielder of all ten legendary swords forged by humankind, I made a wish to the Divine Blade: "Take me back—to a time before I killed anyone." Time rewound to the moment before tragedy began. But the sword was still in my hand. This time, I won’t be used. Not by the cursed blade, Not by fate, Not by anyone. “There won’t be a second miracle. This time, I will find happiness.”

Echineacea Roaz is graceful, beautiful, and impeccably dressed, even on the dueling grounds. Yet beneath the lace gloves and silk hats is a deadly swordsman with a dark secret. As the Demon of the Cursed Sword, she once slaughtered all she loved, including Captain Eurien, the one man who believed in her. Granted one chance to rewrite fate, she turns back time and joins the knighthood to protect those she once failed. Can this elegant swordsman bloom anew, or will she cut everything down again?
