He specifically chose Louibel, the extra princess, because she was the only daughter of the emperor who didn’t have a fiancé yet.

The protagonist Hezen had everything but one thing – a title.

Even if powerless, as a royal, engaging Louibel would earn him a title.

Thus, Hezen planned to conquer Louibel to gain the title and then use her death for his awakening.

‘But it’s a shame to kill her, given her beauty.’

Louibel Azester was too pretty to be just an extra, unbelievably so.

It was a wonder why such an impressive character wasn’t mentioned in the community forums or game tips.

As Hezen was relishing these thoughts, a notification rang.

The system window alerted him of the appearance of a new conquest character.

Hezen’s eyes sparkled at this moment.

In fact, he had little interest in defeating the Mad Dragon or progressing the storyline.

His real goal in this high-freedom game was to build a harem!

The title he would gain from the engagement with Louibel would solidify his harem even more.

The engagement with Hezen proceeded swiftly.

Any worries that the engagement might fall through due to the original story’s constraints were unfounded, as no such issues arose.

And the news of our engagement spread quickly.

“Oh my, you look so beautiful, Princess.”

“How can your hair be as soft as silk?”

The maids fussed over my hair, continuously expressing their admiration.

I glanced at my reflection in the mirror.

There sat a woman with flowing cherry blossom-colored hair and warm amber eyes, her features delicate and fairy-like.

At first, I mistook my reality for a romance fantasy novel due to my unrealistically beautiful appearance.

It wasn’t long before I realized I was an extra in the world of , the novel I adored in my previous life.

Louibel Azester, the 3rd Princess of the Azester Empire, was an extra in the original, merely mentioned in passing as “the third princess of Azester is said to be stunningly beautiful.”

Despite being a direct descendant of the emperor, she was excluded from the succession battle due to her father’s unknown status.

As a result, she couldn’t be close to her siblings, especially Prince Orent, who blatantly disregarded her.

A nominal royal without power or the emperor’s love. But…

‘I actually prefer it!’

It wasn’t a bad transmigration after all.
‘Born with a silver spoon, living the rich, idle life to the fullest!’

Isn’t the best transmigration into an extra?

Especially when that extra is none other than the daughter of the Emperor.

Being pushed out of the line of succession meant I was free from troublesome affairs, and being a royal, albeit powerless, ensured an abundance of wealth.

‘And with the title of being the empire’s most beautiful woman, and now engaged to the man I love, Hezen…’

My heart fluttered at the thought of Hezen.

My mother, the Empress, had promised Hezen a title as an engagement gift.

Of course, it was not out of affection for me, the lowly princess.

She had always held Hezen in high regard, mentioning him several times in official settings.

The engagement was undoubtedly an excuse to shower him with titles and other privileges.

‘Well, it’s good for me too if Hezen gains my mother’s trust…’

“Everything’s ready, Your Highness.”

Today was the day of the tea party hosted by Elizabeth, my sister, in the imperial garden.

“It’s still chilly despite being spring, so wear this shawl,” suggested Seira, my maid.

“Thank you.”

I wrapped myself in the shawl Seira handed me and stepped outside, choosing to walk instead of taking a carriage.

My steps were light and spirited, walking towards the garden.

‘What could Hezen be doing?’

He was always busy, but even more so after our engagement. Still, I understood our situation, instead of being petulant…

“Oh my, Your Highness! Be careful!”

Thud!

Lost in thoughts about Hezen, I bumped into someone and fell flat.

“Ouch…”

A mild pain spread as I let out a small groan. A large shadow loomed over me.

The first thing I noticed was a neatly pressed white pair of trousers and a fluttering light purple cloak.

Slowly lifting my head, I saw a man standing there, as white as the first snow of winter.

Never before seen in the Azester Empire, he had silvery white hair and eyes red like a droplet of blood on pristine snow.

He seemed to be looking into the air above my head, then slowly his gaze shifted to me.

“…”

“…”

A chill ran down my spine as I met his frosty gaze.

Given that envoys from across the continent were arriving for the upcoming celebration of my mother’s birthday, encountering strangers in the palace wasn’t unusual. However…

‘What is this?’

The annoyance and irritation in the man’s eyes as he looked down at me were clear.

Normally, even those who disliked Louibel couldn’t help but soften their expression when faced with my adorable face.

But his gaze was as detached as if he were observing a microbe.

His inorganic, unfamiliar gaze unnerved me, and I involuntarily swallowed.

Gulp.

Was the sound too loud?

The man slightly furrowed his brows, then let out a sneering laugh.

‘Gasp.’

I nearly stopped breathing for a different reason this time.

Although it was close to mockery, that cold face smiling bitterly was shockingly handsome.

Even more so than Hezen, the protagonist of this world!

The man indifferently shifted his gaze away from me and passed by.

“Ah, Your Highness, are you alright?”

Seira’s worried voice reached me from behind.

I was still staring blankly at the man’s retreating figure.

‘In a world where Hezen is the protagonist, who could possess such a presence, outshining even him? Who could he be? An original character I don’t remember?’
Suddenly admiring the scene, I noticed something on the ground.

“Oh…?”

It was a pendant necklace with a delicately crafted red gemstone.

It must have been dropped by the man.

Since he had already left, I picked up the necklace, planning to return it to him when we met again.

“How rude of someone to bump into the princess and leave without a word! Who could be so disrespectful?”

Seira grumbled as she helped me up, her annoyance directed towards the man who had already disappeared.

“Hurry, Your Highness, or we’ll be late. Let’s go.”

But as I took Seira’s hand and stood up, I suddenly paused.

‘Huh?’

Above Seira’s head, a blue window that wasn’t there before was now shimmering.

Maid of the Third Princess’s Palace

Affection: 999

What’s that…?

Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife

I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!

Intro

When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.

After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.

Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.

Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.

At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.

Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.

The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.

He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.

[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
