“I’ve always thought of you as someone irreplaceable…” In a world where magicians form partnerships, Azalea Time — orphaned from a young age — became the partner of the top-ranked magician Keely Sirius. On their final mission together, Azalea shields him and inadvertently causes his injury. That night, tied by a magic supply bond, they part ways with regret and silence. Complete with duty fulfilled, Azalea steps toward her arranged marriage. But just before the wedding, Keely reappears — decisive, unrelenting, and unwilling to let her go. Their paused time begins moving again, as buried feelings, unspoken promises, and renewed partnerships ignite once more.

The First Saint, Sharlene, who has the past of having been transported to another world, is adored by the people as “the Saint Loved by God”—a title not seen since the very first First Saint—thanks to her powerful supernatural abilities, and is even engaged to the crown prince.But her history is actually a complete lie! In truth, she was born the daughter of a red-light district prostitute and a black-market apothecary, then sold to the church—nothing more than a brash, foul-mouthed street girl. Her false “cardboard façade” is exposed by the Second Saint, Lulumia, and on top of having her engagement annulled, she is falsely accused of debauchery and imprisoned.That night, Sharlene is brutally murdered by someone. “Please, God, help me!”When she awakens, Sharlene finds herself in an unfamiliar room, being smiled at by a beautiful young man with alluring black hair.“Don’t you remember me? We’ve spent many nights together.” “…Could it be… God?”To her shock, Sharlene’s body has somehow reverted to that of an 8-year-old—now called Sharte!This is a love fantasy about the “Fake Saint” beginning a new life while being doted on by a snake god.Original Web Novel

As the only priestess on the frontlines in the war against monsters, Monica worked hard to fulfill her duties and her incredible power earned her a place by the crown prince's side as his fiancée. Except that power came with an added nuisance—the ability to rouse the baser instincts of those affected! When the crown prince found out, he cursed her as a wanton priestess and ended their engagement. Naturally, the news of an indecent holy woman spread like wildfire throughout the nation. While Monica struggled to manage the upheaval in her life, Richard, a battle comrade, approached her with an offer. "Will you come to my country? My elder brother and his wife are in need of a priestess because they're barren." But Monica didn't know a crucial truth. He was the emperor's younger brother!
