ORIGINAL WORK: THE EUN

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.”

After her father’s betrayal and the fall of her family, Evelyn Ofrozet lived as a fugitive. Then, a saving hand reached out to her: that of Ian Kalissian. Once the hound of Count Ofrozet, Ian returned as the most powerful man in the Empire. With a mix of tenderness and absolute dominance, Ian ruthlessly invades Evelyn’s body and heart. But just when she’s given him everything, she’s faced with a new truth. Can she escape the warm—yet deceptive—cradle of Ian?

"The emperor must be slowly destroyed from within." The assassin So-hwa enters the palace as a court lady to seduce the tyrant Emperor Yugeon. However, Yugeon suffers from mysophobia and a severe mental disorder, refusing to let any woman near him. “If you touch me, you'll be tainted too.” On a night when the emperor’s madness flares, during his bedtime guard shift, So-hwa tries to bring him down from within his bedchamber. But as Yugeon begins to fall for So-hwa, he gradually becomes obsessed with her.

Turns out, I was actually the female lead in a regret-themed story. And apparently, right now is the period where the male lead and his family are busy racking up their karmic debt! “Wow, they really went this far to torment me? That’s harsh.” But it’s fine. In my previous life, I worked in customer service jobs for over ten years. I can handle any kind of trashy person with a soulless smile and send them packing! “Giselle, I can no longer tolerate your arrogant behavior. I told you to stay quiet.” “Ah, seriously. Fine, whatever.” “What?” “Like Lady Mariposa said, I’m filthy trash anyway, so I’ll just grab a garbage bag and go bury myself underground. What’s the point of someone like me living, right?” All I decided was to cut ties with my abusive family and become stronger than any male lead— But then… “Giselle Florette. I’d like you to become my wife, publicly.” The dark schemer, Duke Kalinos, proposed a fake marriage to me? “Your payment will be 5 billion gold per year.” “I will serve you well, Your Grace.” “Act like the worst possible person. Enough to make my entire family never want me to marry.” Being trashy was the easiest thing in the world for me! Loyalty!

Will Seolhwa be able to stop the Blood Demon from destroying her family and succeed in taking revenge?
