c158 MC gets pushed to death and transmigrates to another world as Raeliana, a noble lady poisoned to death by her fiance, a side character/plot device for the heroine Beatrice who investigates her death. She signs a contract with Duke Noah (ML) to pretend to be his fiance to break the engagement. Fiance is actually being threatened by the brother of a woman he toyed with and who tried to kill herself in front of him, in the struggle he accidentally stabs her. Seems like FL had met that brother and joined forces with him. Anyway, Fiance kidnaps MC but rescued by ML and both of them put to death. Seems like Raeliana had been dabbling with dark sorcery before her death, but the fortune teller (who had ties with the queen?) committed suicide. It might be the reason why MC's soul is not compatible with her body, leading to fainting spells. During a tournament, a terrorist blows up the square (originally he was caught before anything happens, but due to MC, various factors contributed to lax security and increased radical dissent), in the process of chasing after the terrorist, ML loses his arm in the suicide explosion, MC uses the protective charm the pope gave her to heal his arm, she also reveals her secret as a transmigrated soul, and confess her love <3 Now FL finally appears, she plotted for MC's death, seems to know that MC is not the real Raeliana, got the villainess/fiance of the king to give her a gem that was set to explode (MC was saved by the pope who wanted to take her in a disciple/asks her to call him grandpa), also blackmailed the villainess to poison MC but MC realised the plot, so FL sets the room on fire and locks MC in instead, of course ML finds her and rescues her. Seems like FL is actually Raeliana (mc's current body) possessing Beatrice's (the FL of the novel) body. mc wants to use the king wedding to trap fl but fl uses it to frame mc for murder instead, mc is protected by ml and the priest helps clear her name. fl ends up kidnapping mc and tries to kill her but ml saves her in time, mc shoots fl and kills her. the goddess visits mc and offers to send her back but mc refused. mc and ml end up marrying and having a daughter, the end. I really liked this, I like both leads, the ML can be overbearing but he respects the MC and is also affected by her /loses to her. I also like that MC actually like the ML, unlike some novels where ML takes liberties and the MC seem to hate it, MC comes across as embarrassed/shy instead.

ch75 MC is an orphan under the care of her greedy uncle, he marries her off to the ML who is reputed to be cruel and scary (he is in charge of protecting the border against the monsters/demons) due to a marriage contract between the two households. ML hides his face behind his mask and is reputed to be ugly (he also thinks he's hideous?). ML has left the castle in search of a cure to his ailment? He places the castle under an enchantment to hide its presence, but now the enchantment has failed and monsters are attacking it. at last min ML returns, bringing with him a dragon as well. mc kills the ogre leader in defence of ml. she befriends the dragon and manages to ride it. they counterattack the ogres castle, ml's mask exposed in the process and reveals his handsome face, however mc is warned in her mind not to expose the truth otherwise ml will die. now mc and ml are on their way to a ball for demon hunters, they stop by the crystal palace - a gambling casino for demons. They find out that the demons have schemed to attack their castle while they are away, but MC had already anticipated this and arranged for the dragon to protect Halsted castle. MC discovers that she has access to a portal where you can summon modern day items as long as you know the korean name. She uses this to get catnip and opens a restaurant attracting all the cat demons and stealing business from the demon of the crystal palace Belial, they then make their own currency using demon contracts to trade for it, tricking the Belial to buy out all the currency, then dropping the value by lowering the price of catnip stew and increasing the exchange rate interest, they then scam Belial by first getting him to take on a loan then pretending to be social welfare agents and convincing him that MC having access to his servants inventory pouch can give her access to his money as well, so get him to transfer his money out into a "secure inventory" lmao, then on basis of his inability to pay off his loan, mc seizes all his property, Belial loses his great demon status and gets demoted. MC earns lots of money for the Halsted Castle this time and suitors flock to court her once they hear about their impending divorce. MC tries to delay this by highlighting there is still demonic threat, aka Memphis who is a great demon pretending to be a saintess and scamming the people, she defeats Memphis by getting the "Holy artefact" aka an iPad and showing she can use it, then setting up her own religion and broadcasting her confrontation with Memphis everywhere, Memphis is also demoted, both Memphis and Belial now want to become demon servants to MC. MC wants to break ML's curse, she finds out the curse seems to be placed on the ancestral sword of the Halsteds, now in possession of the demon Astarod who has gone in hiding due to wounds from the demon war, his territory is in Necropolis. MC plans to infiltrate and take down Necropolis and its neighbouring city Haste/Hiss Castle governed by Lucifer, she starts an MLM company lmao.

ch61 earth where portals to magic world open up. mc is an aspiring youtuber in the countryside who applied for job at a newly opened magic shop - but it sells porn items. ML is the owner of the shop, from a noble bloodline, so feared by commoners in magic world, as a child he happens through a portal and meets MC who is unafraid of him and they become fast friends before ML has to leave. the art is very cute. mc is your usual ordinary ditzy protag. ml is your usual tall handsome capable smart and a little black bellied, but doesnt cross the line with mc.

ch100 MC (Medea) is the villainess whose engagement got broken, she switches body with the FL (Psyche), a sheltered noble who had been confined to her estate until her debut. FL's life isnt as golden as it looks, her freedom constant restricted and the prince actually plans to kill her, he's only keeping her by his side to obtain her divine power (FL can heal and wither) FL's mom actually hid her away as a child to protect her, but ML found out about her divine power when she ran away as a child and used her power on criminals. MC's life isnt as great as FL thought it was, she admires MC for being strong and having freedom to do what she wants, but actually MC has been under high pressure from her family to be the best, her intelligence used by her father to obtain fame for himself, they only see her as a tool to be used by the family. MC foils the prince's plan to kill FL by killing the assassins he sent after her. In the meantime, FL tries her best to live her life as MC, foiling her father's plan to marry her off to the King of neighbouring country by jumping from balcony and breaking her leg. FL and MC managed to switch back to their own bodies after FL finds out about her "withering" powers - seems like when FL's life is in danger they switch back. FL "breaks up" with ML as she is finally disillusioned when ML has admitted he didnt love FL when FL was in MC's body. Meanwhile, there's been the word of god interpreted by the Cardinal saying that the person closest to the king will cause the downfall of the empire. MC uses that rumour to frame herself as the person who will cause the downfall - this is a plan to reveal her family's crimes in child trafficking and other offences - MC will be the whistleblower and wash clean her name, she partners up with the cardinal (red head) to use his good reputation. She sends the cardinal to her brother to obtain further evidence of the crimes. FL breaks up with the prince, but agrees to continue their relationship for 100 days - the prince sends an assassin after her, but this coincides with MC being poisoned by her father (MC planned for this by inciting his suspicions that she was going to kill him) - she switches body with FL - MC kills the assassin and FL cures the poison. MC's past with her brother is revealed, her brother always wanted to escape the burden and abuse of his family and assumed MC wanted the same, but afterwards realised she wanted to fight head on and not escape, not hide her brilliance and be married off. However he was horrified by the corruption and wicked deeds of the family so ran off. mc's father and his associates were executed for their crimes and mc becomes head of the family. the prince increase his popularity by improving the relationship with a neighbouring kingdom by giving them back the bones of the previous king (but its actually bones of a homeless man). on the day the cardinal is meant to ascend to power, the prince causes the wall to collapse killing hundreds of people, FL escapes her guards to go save them. the prince and mc have a confrontation where he admits to causing the wall to collapse.

ch77 s2 end mc transmigrates in body of princess of a small country. Her sister (mother of the FL in the novel) was originally kidnapped by the emperor (father of villain in the novel) of a large kingdom because their country broke the agreement (mc's dad was greedy and wanted more profit from the trade route running through their country). MC gets kidnapped by the emperor instead and to her surprise he treats her kindly - even though he keeps an impenetrable iron wall around himself. She suffers from magical incompatibility due to her foreign soul - it eases around the emperor who has the strongest divine power (she can also be soothed by priests with divine power or by entering the temple but the emperor is most effective). She resolves to marry the emperor A) to prolong her own life B) to save him from the fate of being murdered by his 10yr old son (in the novel he marries a black magician who teaches their son black magic). Now the black magician is trying to murder the MC as she is getting in the way of her marriage to the emperor. MC is suffering from nightmares due to black magic plants in her garden, designed to drive her crazy and tear her soul apart. She manages to escape and find the emperor. ML now realises that his mage is a black magician (light magicians are unable to detect black magic and vice versa) but has no proof. He wants to send MC back The god of the world also finds MC amusing and speaks to her in her mind, he says he can make her his disciple, thus curing her ailment, but he can only descend the world once every 10yrs, next time he can come down is in 5 years. The ML sees through MC's insincerity in declaring her love. He seems to have fallen for her, but also reluctant to trap her by his side where he is surrounded by danger, his country filled with magic that can kill her. however he is eventually won over by mc - mainly cause mc now knows he knows his mage is a black magician hence he wont marry her, so now there is no reason for her to stay, so she offers to leave, but he of course couldn't say he wants her to leave hehe so now they're mutual but at the same time they know that mc can't realistically stay because its too dangerous for her, ml doesn't want to keep her cooped up in the palace because she is sensitive to magic as well as the danger the mage poses to her, mc also understands and doesn't want to be a burden and risk her own life - this is why i like this mc even tho she's objectively "weak" - she's not an idiot, she's aware of her own weakness, she gets frightened reasonably, but doesn't waste time feeling sorry for herself, she has personality and isn't some wilting flower but also not a reckless idiot. mc's country's delegation arrives haha ml was jealous so cute and mc immediately realised and teases him a bit, i really like this couple. mc asks ml to deal with the mage problem in 4 years and marry her after (this is when she can become god's disciple and solve her magic sensitivity). in the meantime, the mage seems to be up to no good, the "god" behind her is urging her to kill mc because he's getting bad vibes - the mage wants to have a baby with ml so their kid has both powers and her powers can extend beyond this world - the entity promises to eradicate the silver light aka the royal family who weild light magic and seek to exterminate dark magic - tbh the mage is kinda pitiful too cause her whole family got killed by the knights under the royals for being dark magicians so she hates them. the mage summons the lord of the underworld supplying her power, however mc also summons the god of the world and foils her plans (tbh honest the "battle" is confusing im not sure what happened or who stopped who really), mc stops ml from killing the mage and lets her escape because they need to defeat the lord of the underworld (if mage dies, lord of underworld can just contract another person and they won't know who), the god implants a seed in the mage that can track her. upon escaping, the lord of the underworld possesses mage's body but will need time to assimilate. mc has to part with ml and return to her country.
