Cover of Marriage of Convenience volume 1. A man in silver armor holds a woman in his arms. She has a green dress and red hair with a flower crown around her head. He has silver hair. They're looking into each other's eyes intensely. She has her arms around his neck.
Adapted by hanheun, illustrated by Antstudio

As she lay dying of disease and poverty, Bianca begs for another chance at life and receives it. She’s reborn as her 18 year old self and is determined not to rehash her previous mistakes. Within a few days, her older noble husband returns from war, and the first thing she decides to set straight is the frayed relationship they had. She wants to try to produce an heir for him and make herself valuable to the family, especially knowing his fate is to die young in battle. Bianca often misinterprets her husband’s actions, thinking he may have a mistress that she will need to overcome. But what she doesn't realize is the level of respect her husband has for her despite his inability to properly show his feelings.

Cover of The villainess Turns the Hourglass volume 3. Aria is in a blue dress with her shoulders exposed. Her long blonde hair flows around her. She's looking over her shoulder with a slightly devious smile.
Adapted by Antstudio

Aria begins to amass wealth in preparation for her eventual doom and also tries to keep all of her various plans in motion. From her knowledge of the future, she knows how trading will be monopolized, so she decides to capitalize on the luxury good of sugar as a way to make money but also hurt the nobility. But first, she makes some money quickly at the casino that is owned by the Crown Prince. Coincidentally, she gets an invite from Lord Asher to attend a secret society type think tank where she expressed her belief that the casino was a dangerous investment for the Prince. At this and several other meetings, Lord Asher continues to confound Aria and refuse to give up his true identity.

Cover of Not-Sew-Wicked Stepmom volume 5. Abigail, Blanche, and Sabrian sit for a family portrait.
Adapted by Mo9Rang

Abigail and Sabrian decide to start sharing a bed together, but Blanche doesn’t want to be left out. This cuts down on the awkwardness between the two parents at first. Then, the Queen Mother, Sabrian’s mom, comes for a visit, and Sabrian worries she will continue to be manipulative. She tries some of her tactics on innocent Blanche. Abigail and Sabrian converse about the best way to raise Blanche as a potential future ruler — is it better to be strict and raise her with a firm hand? Or is it better to let her enjoy her childhood and raise her with compassion? Then, a new music tutor is appointed, but Abigail gets a bad feeling from him and begins investigating his motives and family business. Sabrian also investigates, and what he finds out makes him more than a little perturbed.

Adapted by Mo9Rang

It's almost Abigail's birthday, and, because they're starting to publicly get along, Sabrian wants to throw her a large birthday celebration, at least as large as last year's 3-day marathon event. Abigail would love nothing more than a quiet celebration with just the three of them, but such an intimate affair would actually spark rumors again! Sabrian also struggles to find Abigail the perfect birthday present, and even presses Abigail's personal maid for some ideas. While Abigail is busy making new dresses for Blanche and herself for the parties, a mysterious illness strikes the kingdom and reaches plague-like status, and even hits within the castle walls!

Cover of Villains are Destined to Die volume 7. Penelope is in a white dress holding onto a sword. Eckles is looking up at her longingly.
Adapted by SUOL

Penelope is inches away from getting Eckles to 100% affection and completing her plan to escape, and it can't come fast enough. She is days away from her coming-of-age ceremony when the true daughter, Ivonne, is supposed to return. After the events on the island of Soleil that entangled Penelope and Callisto and caused her to embrace powerful magical abilities, Penelope reluctantly accepts an invitation to the crown prince's birthday celebration and a rumor-filled dance that sparks outrage from her family. Callisto extends an invitation to formally court Penelope, throwing a wrench in all of her carefully laid plans. Could Callisto's red and locked affection meter have a different meaning than Eckles' grey yet nearly full? As the fateful date approaches, Penelope suffers what seems to be the ultimate betrayal as the game's events are changed and her plans are put into jeopardy!

Navier does an interview with a local journalist, and she includes a tidbit about overhearing part of Soveishu’s plan to divorce her. Upon reading the ensuing article, Soveishu realizes his mistake and sends a letter to Navier explaining his entire plan, but Navier is unimpressed and declines to come back or participate any further in his schemes. Soveishu decides to have his wedding to Rashta before Navier's in the Western Kingdom to force Heinrey and Navier to attend, but all Navier sees are Rashta’s missteps in maintaining the empire despite all of the advice she had left and instructions on how to continue to keep things running smoothly.

Cover of Finding Camellia volume 1. Camellia is in a white dress, and she has blonde hair and blue eyes. She's holding her hand over a man's mouth, as if asking him not to speak. He's in a grey tunic with tassels on his shoulder. He has dark brown hair.
In the slums of a city, Lady Bale has finally found the child she’s been looking for -- a young girl with beautiful golden locks and turquoise eyes, the spitting imagery of her father. Lady Bale snatches her up and whisks her away to the family home and transforms the young girl into a little boy, Camellius Bale. The calculating lady worries about her family's status with her eldest son’s questionable health, even if she is loathed to bring in a bastard child of her husband’s shameful misdeeds. Camellius does her best to follow the lady’s commands in the hopes of one day leaving the Bale house and being reunited with her mother.
