After dying in the most absurd way imaginable, thirty-year-old Rowan wakes up as an 18-year-old butler-in-training in the enigmatic Celestarchate Empire. With a vow to live quietly this time, he keeps to the shadows, perfecting the art of being invisible. But when a simple errand inside the palace spirals into something far more dangerous, Rowan finds himself entangled in secrets, schemes, and an identity that was never meant to be his. The empire whispers of an assassin in the dark-but Rowan just wanted to serve the wine.

Everyone thinks Lady Virelle D'Argent is here to cause chaos. Raised by a terrifyingly ambitious mother, blessed with noble blood, and dressed like a villain in a romantic tragedy, Virelle was expected to destroy reputations, steal the spotlight, and seduce the most powerful man in court. She had other plans. Specifically: naps. Quiet corners. Avoiding conversation. But in a world where everyone's playing a dangerous social game, Virelle's refusal to play is the most unpredictable move of all. And when the cold-hearted duke's heir starts spending time with her - not for strategy, but for peace - things begin to unravel in all the wrong ways. She's not scheming. She's just tired.

I died. Came back. Now I'm living in a soap opera-and no, I don't get a script. Transmigrated as the older twin in a wildly rich, wildly dramatic family, I'm surrounded by love triangles, overprotective parents, and the kind of chaos that would give reality TV execs a stroke. My sister's perfect. I'm... not. And while she collects admirers, I collect emotional damage-and maybe one terrifyingly attractive, possibly robotic boyfriend who understands me a little too well. There are secret pasts. Public scandals. Too much glitter. This isn't a romance. It's survival. And I'm done playing the sidekick.

Alexandria was just a regular high school student-until she woke up in the body of the villainess from the internet novel her best friend had written.

Now trapped in a world of extravagant gowns, scheming nobles, and an overcomplicated plot, Alexandria has only one goal: to survive. Her plan? Avoid the novel's characters at all costs and rewrite her fate into a peaceful, uneventful life-even if it means flipping the story upside down. But fate seems to have other plans. From coincidental meetings with key characters to unraveling secrets she was never meant to know, Alexandria's carefully laid plans start crumbling faster than a dry biscuit in soup. Will she manage to dodge the death flags looming over her, or is destiny determined to keep her story on track?

[COMPLETE] I died from overwork and woke up as the empire's most spoiled villainess-Lady Seraphina Valeria. In the novel, she was executed for trying to poison the saintly heroine. I have no plans of dying again, thank you very much. My new plan? Avoid the heroine, outsmart the prince, and strike a deal with the mysterious black-market mage everyone fears. Unfortunately, the story doesn't like being rewritten-and the "villainess" everyone hates might just become its biggest glitch. If fate wants me dead again, it'll have to try harder.

She was just a tired grade school teacher in the modern world- unappreciated, overworked, and denied her promotion year after year. Her only escape was her favorite otome game... until a tragic accident with a banana peel ended her life. When she opened her eyes again, she wasn't in her small apartment anymore. She was in a luxurious mansion. In a child's body. The villainess of her favorite game. Born as the real daughter of a Marquis, she knew how her story was supposed to end: starvation, betrayal, poison, and death. Her stepmother and stepsister would steal everything from her, and her own father would let her die without a tear. But this time, she refuses to play the role of a doomed villainess. Armed with memories from her past life, loyal brothers at her side, and a sharp tongue sharpened by years of teaching, she'll rewrite fate itself. Yet the world of nobility is more dangerous than she imagined- scheming crown princes, false heroines, poisonous stepmothers, and a cold northern Duke whispered to be a beast. But what if the "beast" turns out to be the one man who sees her for who she truly is?

Mia Lang is glitter in heels. Dino Chen is perfection in a suit. When a viral video of their explosive argument turns them into the internet's favorite fake couple, the media ships them harder than Jungkook's gym videos. Dino's father sees a golden opportunity-and maybe, a chance to push his complicated son into actually living for once. His father came up with the idea of a one-year arranged marriage contract, sealed with a "billion-dollar fashion-tech merger". The rules? No real feelings. No real kisses. Absolutely no falling in love. Too bad Mia lives to break rules. And Dino... like his father expected, might be starting to enjoy the chaos.
