The Fake Saint Waits to Leave
My rating: 10/10 REVERSE HAREM, ISEKAI, PAST TRAUMA, ABUSE After dying from a severe illness, the mc possesses the body of Yvelina, a side character in a novel she read and a saunters living a promiscuous life. In the novel, she loses all her divine power and is executed when a new saintess appears. To avoid that, the mc tries to mend her broken relationships and gain trust to transfer her position peacefully later on. But then Yvelina's soul appears in her dream and orders her to sleep with a man if she wants to keep her body. ️ Edit (Spoiler): The MLs: Latban: He's the captain of the templar knights. She knows him since they were children, but they grew distant after "that time". He's very upright and serious and hates her for the way she disregards her role as a saintess and treats him. Leon: He's the crown prince of the empire. She marries him later on. Aslan: He's the wizard king she made a deal with. She has his child. The og Yvelina: She was abused and isolated by the priest who later cursed her so her holy power is depleted unless she has s*x. His goal goal is to discredit the saintess.
The Duchess' Lewd Invitation
Duke (ml) x duchess (fl) My rating: 7,7/10 MARRIED COUPLE, DIVORCE, SMUT, DECEPTION, REGRET After years of an unhappy marriage and him neglecting his wife Roxanne, Duke Arthur Kaplan forces her to divorce him. His reason is the deep hatred he feels for her tyrannical father. But as women are treated like the men's property and she knows she would be sold off again to marry an old man this time, the duchess asks Arthur to let her sleep with another man until their divorcegets approved. He accepts, so she starts seeing a masked gigolo. What she doesn't know: The gigolo is her husband! ️ Edit (Spoiler): The FL was mistreated by her father until she was 20 and married off: He used to beat her, lock her up and deny her any form of love. Her mother was sold to another man after giving birth to her, her brothers are trash as well. Nevertheless, Roxanne grew up to be quite strong. I loved the part where the ml regretted his actions and desperately tried to win her back.
The Taming of the Shrew
Worker, model x duke's daughter, artist My rating: 10/10 HISTORICAL, STRONG FL, ART, FEMINISM When she hears that her father secretly engaged her, the free-spirited daughter of an English duke runs away to Paris to paint. There, she meets David, a worker taking care of his siblings and a man so handsome she asks him to be her nude model right away. He agrees in exchange for fair payment, but over the time their relationship develops into something more. ️ Edit (Spoilers): This story is about deciding who you want to be without trying to make yourself the person others want you to be. It's interesting especially since a woman painting a nude male was a scandal back then and a noble running away from home was nothing less than that. But I love how the FL did what she desired to do nevertheless and how her father, although a bit overwhelmed, supported her in the end. Also, the love between the two main characters is soooo sweet. I mean, she's strong and naive at the same time and sometimes comes over him like a storm, but himself matches her giving her the freedom she deserves and loving her for who she really is.

The crown prince: He's quite dangerous wanting to kill everyone getting in the way of what he wants (mostly his love for the heroine) but isn't an evil person to the core. He's sweet to the one he loves and gets attached to the mc and to some extent learns to control himself from her. The heroine: I don't like her. She's like a dumb child who doesn't know anything because her father didn't let her out of the house all her life and built her an artificial beautiful life.
