KIM DAHAM

After an office worker is reborn as Everia Oberon, a romance novel villainess destined for an evil life and a tragic death, she decides to skip the drama by retiring to the countryside. Having moved to a frigid region full of nonflammable wood, Everia calls on archmage Theoharis to warm her home with his azure flame… not realizing that she’s bound herself to a lifelong contract! Now that she’s master of a bloodthirsty (but breathtakingly handsome) demon dog, can she kiss the quiet life goodbye?

Stuck in a loveless engagement with the crown prince and tired of living in the violent capital city, Violet Hale wanted a way out of her miserable life. Enter the enigmatic archduke Cedric Etchell, who breaks off her engagement and agrees to a contractual marriage with her as thanks for saving his estate. Determined to make it on her own once the contract ends, Violet starts her own business. Love isn't in the plan, but could the archduke make this self-made lady have a change of heart?

Our heroine is set up for failure when she wakes up in the novel "Betrayal of the Black Rose" as Lady Nadia, a side character who is killed by the murderous Duke Altair Gertrand. Poor Nadia's only hope of survival is leaving the capital and marrying an obscure baron in the countryside. Unfortunately, this baron turns out to be Altair before his days as a duke! Having stepped right into the lion's den, Nadia fears she might die even sooner than expected. Now, the only way she can survive is by steering her scary husband off his bloodstained path to villainhood...

When our MC was bored in the hospital with a limited time, she encountered a game called “The One Who Wants to Wear the Crown”. When she woke up, she suddenly possessed a supporting character she played that’s going to die so she plans to survive from now on by marrying the Eastern Grand Duke of Sydney and leaving the capital.

“I was reincarnated in the world of a novel… It’s a dismal novel where all the characters meet their demise at the hands of the villain. It corrected my shyness, built my courage, and prepared me for what I read in the famous grim novel. So, before the real story begins, I must distance myself from the terrifying social world in the capital, so I married a poor baron in the countryside… “Don’t make me cut off my own wife's head, do you understand?” It’s evident that this man who appeared at the wedding covered in blood is the terrifying villain who kills everyone! Did I marry a man who will turn wicked as I try to avoid the very villain himself? I’ve utterly failed; I think I’ve married the wrong person indeed!”
