I Became The Male Lead'S Stepmother

I used to think obsessive male leads were kind of hot. You know, the intense stares, the undying devotion, the way they’d burn the world for the woman they love? Swoon, right? Wrong. That fantasy went up in smoke the moment I woke up in the body of Sonia Mitford. The heroine of The Crimson Devotion. The first obsessive romance fantasy novel I ever read. The one that ended on a mysterious hiatus. The one with Marius Wittelsbach, a charming, possessive psychopath who thinks an ankle shackle is a love language. Now I’m trapped in a velvet-draped prison, shackled to a bedpost like some porcelain doll in a gothic fairytale. And Marius? He’s worse than I remembered. Sweet, soft-spoken, and utterly unhinged. "You don’t need to be afraid. I’ll take care of you." Translation: I’ll murder anyone who blinks in your direction and serve you tea over their corpse. "Anyone who bothers you... anyone who looks at you the wrong way... I’ll get rid of them for you." I thought I was playing the role just fine. Smiling. Nodding. Pretending not to be horrified. But then, plot twist. Alessio Slovene, the forgettable side character, walks in looking like a golden retriever knight and drops this bomb: he’s actually the crown prince in disguise. And he’s been investigating Marius. Finally, a lifeline. Maybe. Because people are vanishing. The body count is rising. And every time Marius kisses my forehead and calls me “Nia,” I feel one step closer to becoming the tragic heroine in a blood-soaked love story. Obsessive male leads aren’t dreamy. They’re terrifying. And I might be in way over my head.

When Lenore Rowanhart is forced to take her cousin’s place in a political marriage to the infamous Duke Barrowmere, she expects cold silences and a crumbling manor in the middle of a cursed land. She doesn't expect the strange pull she feels toward the land. Or the way the duke watches her as if she were a ghost.

They all ignored me. The recruiters, the clans, the nobles. I sat in that filthy hall for weeks, starving, rotting, begging with my eyes for someone to see me. No one did. So I made them look. This world runs on strength, and I had none. But desperation breeds something more dangerous than power. It breeds obsession. I clawed my way up from the dirt with nothing but hatred in my heart and a promise on my tongue: Someday, you’ll beg me. This is the story of how a forgotten, beaten-down man rose from the ash of failure… and became the villain whispered about across planets. Let them hunt me. Let them curse my name. I will still win.

Aurora Perish transmigrates into a cliché Omegaverse novel as the second Alpha (female) male lead—doomed to be a stepping stone in the main couple’s messy romance. To make things worse, it’s a story she hated as a teen, full of brainless drama, red flag characters, and zero logic. Determined to avoid the chaos, Aurora plans to live a peaceful, drama free life. Love? No thanks—she’s too old for that nonsense. That is… until the Main Character warns her to stay away from the obsessive Alpha villainess, the one who stalks and torments the Omega female lead. But why would someone like that be interested in her? #SlowBurn Copyright © TheBald, 2025. All rights reserved.

"Well it'd be sweeter if I drink directly from your mouth My Lord" Eden offered him the drink. 3rd Lead: "Why don't you go bring me my book? Eden" The Grand Duke requested, an ambush set and waiting to kill Eden in the library. "Don't worry My Dear Duke, I have a better book here about two boys making out!"

He’s been reborn as the younger brother of Lyra, the female lead of his favorite yuri omegaverse novel. The problem? In the original story, his character dies early—killed by the cold and dangerous villainess, Selene Argent. Now, Aeron is determined to survive. He fakes amnesia. Plays the helpless little brother. But behind the soft smile and calm eyes, he’s plotting every step—carefully avoiding the fate he knows awaits him. He doesn’t want power. He doesn’t want revenge. He just wants to live quietly in a world that wasn’t meant for him. But nothing is ever that simple. As Lyra grows more attached, and Selene begins to show an unnatural interest in him, Aeron realizes that changing the story means changing people—and in a world built on obsession, that can be far more dangerous than dying.

When Clara wakes up in a new world, she’s no longer a top-tier survivalist from a post-apocalyptic future—she's now the newly married stepmother of four malnourished children in a poverty-stricken rural village. Her husband? A handsome but useless deadbeat who’s more interested in gambling and gossip than putting food on the table.

She's here to survive—and thrive. But raising four skeptical children, reviving a collapsing household, and navigating a village full of nosy neighbors won't be easy. Especially when her new stepchildren don’t trust her, and the whole village is waiting to see how fast the “new wife” will run away. Armed with grit, wit, and a lifetime of survival instincts, Clara is about to prove that even in the toughest soil, something beautiful can grow.

My name is Chen Mo, a gaming nerd. Recently, I've been obsessed with a single-player game called "Absolute Immortal" and have defeated the final boss, [Lady Yu], over a hundred times using cheats. Then, I transmigrated. I became Lady Yu's lackey. On my first day at work, why does it feel like Her Majesty is looking at me strangely...? ... My name is Yu Youhan, Imperial Consort of the Yuan Dynasty, with immense cultivation power, dominating the nine provinces. I recently had a 'dream'. In the dream, I was wantonly tormented by a man, utterly powerless. I initially thought it was a mistake in my cultivation, thus giving rise to a heart demon, until that 'inner demon' appeared right in front of me... ... Within the high walls of the deep palace. 'There are many ways to conquer a heart demon, it doesn't necessarily have to be through force...' 'Your Majesty, I, I admit defeat!' 'Who allowed you to admit defeat? Dare to defy this palace, and you'll be punished for another hour!' '...'

Linh Yue was never meant for palace life. Raised in the bustling halls of the State Clinic under the care of a warm, if frequently exasperated, master physician, she’s known more herbs than nobles and more patients than politics. Sarcastic, brilliant, and blissfully uninterested in court drama, Yue is content healing the sick and mocking anyone who tells her to smile more. So when the Crown Prince himself requests a personal physician from the clinic, Yue is horrified to learn she’s been chosen—not by accident, but by trust. Crown Prince Ji An is everything she hates dealing with: silent, unreadable, and infuriatingly cold. The palace calls him a disciplined man, the court calls him a calculating heir. Yue calls him a very tall inconvenience who clearly doesn’t want to be treated. And yet, her job is to follow him to sword practice, monitor his meals, prepare his herbal baths, and check his pulse like he’s not glaring her into silence with every look. But Yue doesn’t flinch. And slowly, very slowly, the prince begins to look back. Just as a fragile rhythm begins to settle between them, Ji An is ordered into an arranged marriage for the sake of political alliances. His response? A quiet proposal to Yue. No affection. No expectations. Just a convenient, pretend love to protect the throne—and her freedom. Against all logic, Yue agrees. But no one told them pretending would feel this real. No one warned them how many truths could be buried in quiet glances, shared teacups, accidental touches, and kisses that were never supposed to happen. Now, tangled in a palace of watchful eyes, secret loyalties, and growing feelings neither will name, Yue must decide: How do you heal a heart that refuses to speak? And how do you stop falling for a man who only ever speaks in silence?

Blair is heartbroken on discovering her husband and younger sister were secretly dating. She badly looked for a child in her marriage with her husband, and was hurt to discover her younger sister is pregnant for her husband. Unexpectedly, an apocalypse starts out in the midst of a confrontation, and Blair’s husband chose to save her younger sister over her, causing Blair to perish and die a painful death in the hands of the monsters. Fortunately, Blair is reborn in one of her favorite apocalypse stories, weeks before the apocalypse hits— not as the kind female lead who gets doted on and sought after by the four male leads of the story, but as the jealous villainess whose end goal is to kill the female lead and make the male leads fall for her instead. However, Blair soon discovers that her younger sister and husband were also reborn into this same story, and they also retained their memories! Her sister is reborn as the female lead of this story, and her cheating husband, as one of the men in the story. Unlike those two who still had the same face from their past life, Blair now has the appearance of the villainess, giving her the upper hand and a perfect opportunity to avenge herself! Sadly, she is forced to halt her revenge plans and stock up for the upcoming apocalypse instead, since causing the female lead harm means she’ll meet the same painful end as the villainess met in the story. What’s Blair to do? To avoid that unfortunate end, she kisses her perfect revenge goodbye and focuses on stocking up, cause she wasn’t interested in being a villianess anyway or chasing after four men who were shallow and arrogant!

However, her sudden changed personality shocked everyone, especially the male leads, who believed she had an ulterior motive, so now they wouldn’t leave her alone or stop pestering her!

His name was 25. On Avalis, he was just one of many tasked with fulfilling missions for Earth’s people. This time, he was given a simple one—live as Zeno Han and have an ordinary life. Easy. Or so he thought. The moment he took over Zeno’s body, someone shoved a script into his hands. “You’ll be perfect for this role!” And just like that, he was on set. [Fame Meter: Unable to Measure. Off the charts.] Doctor? Check. Pilot? Check. Eunuch? …Regrettably, check. Every script forces him to relive past missions, and somehow, he’s nailing every performance.

Omegaverse## Kaelith thought his life was over when his machine blinked its last light, his step-sister’s novel still in his hands. Dying while reading a love story: wasn’t that just cruel irony? He never even had the chance to experience love himself. But death wasn’t the end—it was a reset. When Kael opened his eyes, he wasn’t in a hospital or some afterlife. He was inside the world of very book he had just finished, a world ruled by Alphas, where Omegas were expected to submit, and vampires lurked in the shadows of power. And him? He was a nobody. A character that wasn’t meant to exist. But worse than that, he was an Omega, born into a prestigious Alpha family that saw his existence as a stain. Hidden from the world by a father who refused to acknowledge him, protected only by a mother’s desperate pleas. Yet, unlike the character in the novel who lived in quiet submission, Kael refused to let this new life be another cage. He wanted to live. To experience everything he never could. So he went to college. He went to parties. He kissed a stranger at a club. That was his first mistake. Because that stranger? Leonhardt. A ruthless Alpha who never cared for Omegas until Kael’s scent shattered his world. Then came Veyron. The Chaos Bringer. And lastly, Cauis. The sanctuary. A Beta who saw Kael for who he was, but loved him with conditions, and refused to let him go. Kael only wanted to have fun. To finally live. Instead, he found himself at the center of a dangerous game where love, obsession, and power blurred into one. And the scariest part? He didn’t know if he wanted to escape or to fall even deeper. — An Alpha. A Vampire. A Beta. Who would he choose? Would it be Leonhardt, the possessive Alpha who refuses to let him go? Veyron, the enigmatic vampire who tempts him with both danger and pleasure? Or Cauis, the only one who offers him a love with conditions? One heart. Three paths. Which one will he follow? ##Note that it's just the world of the book he entered, so the plot won't follow especially when they are two different characters. He's now a main character in this world, more like writing his own storyline.

Adeline didn't expect she would transmigrate into the trashy novel she read years ago. The plot was so cliched that she couldn't bring herself to finish it. Years later, she found that very book on her bed, the page was open to the villainess' execution and before she knew it she found herself in the very novel she hated. The evil villainess who couldn't stand her two childhood friends become completely enamoured by the female lead, she decided to take care of the matter herself and thus became the public enemy. She now became the villainess of the story! "I do not accept this!" Adeline yelled at the top of her lungs. "I will change the plot." The Crown Prince she rejected won't leave her alone. The cold Northern Duke clung to her and wouldn't let go. The Arch Mage wants to abandon his duties and serve as her personal knight, and the Head Priest is obsessed with her! The Male leads she wished to avoid won't leave her alone! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Obsessive male lead- check. Funny but strong female lead- check. Amazing family- check. Annoying Goddess- also check.

When I came to my senses, I had become the Black Knight inside the game. Though I am now neither undead nor human, I am still—undeniably—a person.

Everyone fears Kael the Shadow—the right hand of the Black Tyrant. Assassin, warlord, nightmare made flesh. They say he speaks with death and moves faster than light. That he once turned an entire rebellion to ash in a single night. But here's the truth: I have no idea what I’m doing.

There's nothing wrong with Adelaide's life. There's nothing wrong with being cheated on. After all, half of marriages end in divorce and most end from infidelity. There's nothing wrong with getting addicted to an otome game. After all, everybody has something they're obsessed with. There's nothing wrong with reincarnating as the villainess instead of the heroine. After all, the villainess is richer and more powerful. There's nothing wrong with the villainess chasing after one of the love interests. After all, it's not like he's the canon route. There's nothing wrong with Ophelia's life.

Lui Ming died at 26. Not tragically heroic. Not beautifully poetic. Just… dead. A car accident, a blank expression, and no last words. Born with alexithymia, Lui Ming never quite figured out emotions—his or anyone else’s. Smiling at funerals? Accidentally. Crying during sitcoms? Never happened. Doctors called him emotionally detached. His aunt called him “a misunderstood sweetie.” Strangers just called security. But heaven, in its infinite sarcasm, gave him a second chance. Waking up in a cultivation world where people fly on swords and explode from spicy qi, Lui Ming finds himself in the body of a disgraced young noble—abandoned by his family, hated by the servants, and gifted with severe OCD. The original owner was one tantrum away from being assassinated. And Lui Ming, who just wanted to take naps in peace, realizes something quickly: He has no plot armor. No golden finger. No system. Just his medical degree, a blank face, and tea cups that must be aligned. To survive, he needs to cling to a powerful golden thigh. But there’s just one tiny issue. He has no idea how to blend in.

> [ Hello, amazing readers! We wanted to give you a quick heads-up about the story you're currently enjoying, "THE THERAPIST: I Accidentally Became a Guild Therapist". This is the original version of Livia's journey, and as you might have noticed, it's designed to be a bit more in-depth.

But don't worry, Livia's original adventure will absolutely continue! We're committed to bringing you every single chapter of this unique story. However, if you're looking for a version of "The Therapist" that's perhaps a bit more "Webnovel Friendly" – with a faster, easier-to-follow plot and a pacing that's tailored for a more dynamic reading experience – you might want to check out the rebooted version!

Thank you for your incredible support, whether you're with us for the deep dives of the original or the fast-paced thrill of the reboot! ] > *I Accidentally Became A Guild Therapists* Welcome to Aethelgard — where emotions glitch harder than any dragons. Livia was just your average psychology student—until she got hit by a motorcycle, fell into a coma… and woke up inside an MMORPG. Not as a hero. Not as a mage. Not even as a legendary assassin. No. She respawned as an NPC Mental Supporter Lv.1 — a useless class with zero attack skills and zero respect from literally anyone. She thought her new life was doomed. Until the strongest (and most mentally unstable) guild in the game, Bloodbath & Beyond, “kidnapped” her... …and made her their official guild therapist. Monsters fear them. The developers can’t delete them. And only Livia stands between them and complete emotional implosion.

Aaron Aetherwyn was an ordinary bookworm with tragic luck—until he died in his sleep and woke up in a fantasy world, reincarnated into the background of a novel he never finished. Now an orphan adopted by the forgotten House Aetherwyn, he has a single goal: survive quietly, live modestly, and avoid getting involved in the messes of powerful people. There’s just one problem. Everyone else thinks he's terrifying. Thanks to a perfect storm of accidents, misread cues, and dormant powers he doesn’t even know he has, Aaron is mistaken for a genius, then a prodigy, then a once-in-a-millennium monster. He’s quickly “invited” to become a professor at the Mysterious Academy—an elite institution suspended above the skies where the world’s strongest converge. What starts as a passive teaching job turns into something far more chaotic. Unbeknownst to Aaron, he is the reincarnation of a mythical being whose magic dwarfs the known laws of the world. But since he lacks any sense of his own strength and assumes his successes are flukes or bureaucratic errors, Aaron keeps trying to play the role of the underdog… and keeps accidentally breaking the world in the process.
