It seemed like he saw the floating affection score above my head.
My affection for Hezen was 999.
In other words, I was in a state of absolute loathing for him.
‘No, that’s putting it too mildly.’
To be more precise, I was in a state where I wanted to kill him.
“Hezen Ains Han.”
I glared straight at him and spoke in a sinister tone.
“Come to think of it, I haven’t said this yet.”
“……?”
“If you dare show your face in front of me again, next time it won’t be your teeth but your manhood I’ll rip off.”
“……!”
Hezen’s mouth dropped open in shock.
I had only ever shown him the gentle and kind princess.
Why? Because I liked him.
I first realized I was a transmigrator when I was six.
Initially, I thought I had transmigrated into a romantic fantasy novel because Louibel was so beautiful.
During my seemingly smooth days, I gradually began to wonder if I might not be the protagonist.
Then, in the palace’s historical gallery, I found a statue of the Light God, Rus, and the dragon Helheim crushed beneath him.
‘The Dragon Helheim…? If it’s Helheim, then it’s the enemy the protagonists in must defeat!’
At the same time, I realized I had transmigrated into .
Disappointed that I wasn’t the protagonist?
No.
I was actually happy.
I had transmigrated into a novel that had been a beacon of light during my difficult teenage years.
Since then, I had been eagerly counting down to meeting Hezen.
I first met him three years ago, at a martial arts tournament organized by the royal family.
“Princess, princess! This time a commoner knight is participating in the tournament!”
The one who brought me the news was none other than Seira.
‘So, the name of that knight is…’
‘Hezen Ains Han?’
I asked with a pounding heart.
‘Huh? How did you know? Did you already hear about it?’
Instead of replying, I just smiled bashfully and blushed.
Yes, I had liked him even before meeting him.
It was inevitable for me to fall for him.
Hezen was the most shining character in my favorite novel.
‘It’s the first time in Acestor’s history for a commoner to participate in the tournament. Usually, they get eliminated in the preliminaries.’
Seira explained to me, her eyes sparkling.
As she had said, participating in the martial arts tournament was an incredibly difficult feat, even among capable knights, and was considered a great honor.
Yet, Hezen achieved it.
He even defeated the strong favorite, Prince Orent, and became the champion of that year.
Hezen received a sword from the Emperor and became an official knight.
During the celebration of his victory, I just watched him from a distance, sipping champagne.
Though a commoner, his dazzling beauty, gentle nature, and exceptional skills made him very popular.
I had hoped to meet him, but I never expected to stand face to face and exchange greetings.
I thought he was a man with whom I, a mere extra, would have no connection, and I was content just watching him from afar.
But then, he approached me.
“Hello, Princess Louibel. I’ve always hoped to meet you.”
‘Me, me…?’
I blushed furiously and stammered, unable to speak when he talked to me.
Then he smiled gently.
“Are you alright? Is it strong alcohol? Your face is red, just like the flowers over there.”
What I was drinking was non-alcoholic champagne.
Embarrassed and speechless, I just clamped my lips shut, when he said,
“You are as beautiful as a flower, Your Highness.”
My heart thumped!
Looking back now, they were cheesy lines, yet they always left me dazed.
We grew closer, and naturally, I fell in love with him.
Never did I imagine that the man I loved was a player of that damned game.
Perhaps even at that moment, there were words floating in front of him like ‘[SYSTEM] ‘s affection is increasing.’
The sense of betrayal I felt when I saw him with the Saintess of Taal resurfaced.
Thinking that all his words and actions towards me were calculated ‘strategies’…
“Lou, Lou… you’re really angry…”
Hezen, stuttering in shock, had a system window pop up in front of him.

For a moment, my eyes sparkled, and a meaningful smile spread across my lips.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
