Lim Jeong-in is a nerd who's used to being treated like he's invisible in the jungle of high school.

He participates in two club activities with his best friend Justin Wong. One is the math club 'Mathleet Society', and the other is the 'Hate Chase Club'.

"Long live the Chase Hate Club."

Writing a ‘book of shame’ that rehashes rumors about the school's top heartthrob, Chase Prescott, was one of the small pleasures for the two nerds.

However, through an unexpected turn of events, Lim Jeong-in's notebook is discovered by Chase.

However, instead of getting angry, Chase shows interest in Jeong-in.

"You're really funny."

"The book? When are you going to give it back?"

"Hmm. When you stop hating me?"

Ironically, the relationship that began with the shame book gradually becomes special, and as Jeong-in discovers Chase's hidden sides, he finds himself increasingly drawn into Chase's world.

[So, do you like me a little more now?]

The truth is that you captivated me not just now, but much earlier.

From the very moment I first laid eyes on you.

Jeong-in fell into confusion as he faced his true feelings that he had deliberately ignored and hidden until now.

Friendship, academics, and a long-held crush.

In this unstable relationship with someone that shakes his entire world, will Jeong-in be able to maintain his place? <<less

[Hello, Mr. Joo Hee-beom. This is the Korea Ability Association.... more>>

As of March 8, 2025, you have been classified as a Guide.]

At twenty-four, long past his teenage years, Hee-beom suddenly awakens as a Guide.

He isn’t thrilled about his new classification—

And then, appearing before him is I-young, the S-Class Esper who has never had a Guide in his life.

"You're really my Guide, aren’t you?"

"…My Guide?"

I-young is delighted to have finally found a Guide with a 97% compatibility rate.

But for some unknown reason, Hee-beom keeps rejecting him…

"I'm not doing this. I won’t be a Guide."

* * *

"Hee-beom-ah, I like you."

Hee-beom-ah, I like you.

Hee-beom-ah, I like you.

Hee-beom-ah.

I like you.

Hee-beom’s mind blurred.

It felt like his body was floating.

His feet were on the ground, but he couldn’t feel them.

Everything was just… empty. Fuzzy.

Snapping back to his senses, Hee-beom stammered.

"W-what, why are you saying something like that… just from holding hands?"

"Why? What’s wrong with saying I like you?"

"It’s weird!"

I-young tilted his head, as if he was the one who didn’t understand.

"It’d be weirder if I didn’t like you."

"……."

"I like you, Hee-beom-ah. So much. More and more, every single day." <<less

After the sudden death of their mother, fourteen- year-old Naito takes his younger brother Alto to the capital in search of their estranged father, Elsi -a powerful man who abandoned them years ago and now runs a notorious brothel empire. Cold and calculating, Elsi agrees to take them in under three strict conditions.... more>>

First of all, you shouldn't date.

Second, come home right after school.

Third, you must eat dinner with me, your father,

That's the condition. If you just keep this, I'll raise you and send you to college."

His father proposed three conditions to Naito, and Naito accepted them without a second thought.

Now, six years later, Naito has come to regret his careless judgment and commitment at the time. Naito, who had to move under his father's strict control in everything from the small to the big, felt suffocated and felt like he was going to die. <<less

It all started with a secret trip out of the palace to find a lake.... more>>

Hyegang unfortunately caught the eye of Jaeyoon, the son of her family’s enemy and the captain of the Royal Guard.

“I didn’t know the Captain cared so much about my protection. With such strong backing, I suppose I’ll have to drown myself in the sea next time, not a lake.”

“That sounds suspiciously like a plea for me to tie you up.”

“Your ears seem to have a talent for misinterpreting things.”

“Then by all means, try to run.”

Jaeyoon’s words stopped Hyegang in her tracks. Surprised by his reaction, she turned around to see him standing there with his hands clasped behind his back, his gaze fixed intently on her.

A smile played on his lips. It was the smile of someone who enjoyed the thrill of the chase, a chilling, almost crazed smile that, strangely, seemed sensual.

“Try to get as far away as possible, and pray I don’t catch you.”

He had closed the distance between them before she knew it.

“Because I have a horse, a sword, and the permission to lay my hands on Your Highness.” <<less

The man showed up 20 minutes late.... more>>

A staged scene, a predetermined outcome.

She wished that this staged blind date wouldn't start, but Yu-ju struggled to hide her true feelings and put on a smile.

"I'm going to marry you, Do Seung-han."

"So, are we going to start dating or something?"

There was nothing to be gained by acting arrogant. She just had to put up with him for half a year. But he tested Yu-ju's patience at every turn.

"Is tormenting people your hobby?"

"I'm thinking of making it my hobby from now on."

What a j*rk. What a rude b*stard. This shameless...

He touched her as he pleased, probed her at will, and treated her arrogantly. Do Seung-han immediately threw Yu-ju into a state of confusion.

So that she couldn't clear her head.

So that she couldn't escape him.

"Behave yourself. As if you don't even exist."

A horrifying marriage charade was grandly unveiled.

What awaited at its end remained unknown. <<less

Seo Eunwoo, the only Beta in a high society dominated by Alphas and Omegas.... more>>

She dared to marry dominant Alpha Cha Taehyuk while having a body that could not give birth to Alpha children.

“She'll remain celibate for the rest of her life. That’s a Beta, not a woman.”

Taehyuk didn’t hide his disgust towards her for pushing for this unwanted marriage.

But starting with their first night, he is swept away by rut. He takes her and grudgingly admits to himself.

She’s a Beta that dared to insert herself into his life, but her body was addicting and very much his type.

The punishment for coveting him torments Eun-woo every night.

“I’ll show you. What an Alpha is, what rut is, and what pheromones are.”

Until she, a Beta, conceives an Alpha’s child. <<less

“Baby, don’t you remember? I’m your husband.” Kang Yeol-Jin, a man who once served loyally as my father’s dog, relentlessly chased me down like a wild animal, treating me like a thorn in his side.... more>>

To escape him, I willingly chose to hang myself. But when I opened my eyes, two years had passed.

And in my belly, I was carrying Kang Yeol-Jin’s child. “Does it make any sense that I married you? Don’t touch me.

Your scent makes me sick.” The past two years were a complete blackout.

My father, who had once ruled like a king, was dead, and everything had fallen into Kang Yeol-Jin’s hands. “I’m sorry. Unlike you, I come from the gutter, right?”

“……”

“But baby, I’m barely managing to act human, because I want to live as your husband.” And the man, who once resembled a wild stray from the back alleys, now crawls at my feet, wagging his tail.

In a situation where everything is mixed and muddled,

I start moving secretly to uncover the hidden truths, peeling back the convincing layers one by one. “You don’t have to recover your memories.”

“And I’m supposed to trust you?”

“Do I seem like I’m lying to you?”

“Lies? You’re nothing but lies.” Two men, both wearing thin masks.

Who will be the first to tear off the facade and spit it out? <<less

“Sunbae, I like you.”... more>>

”…….”

He thought this was a confession that couldn’t possibly be rejected.

“So, please date m—”

“Sorry.”

“Uh… Wh-what?”

“I said, I’m sorry.”

“Huh?”

Cha Sooha was dumbfounded by Kwon Lam’s rejection.

He’d been certain Kwon Lam had a longtime crush on him!

Well, not directly from Kwon Lam’s mouth, but still, he was sure…

He stared blankly at Kwon Lam’s cold back as he turned away.

He had definitely heard about it—at Kwon Lam’s funeral, no less. And yet, was that a lie?

Impossible.

Hadn’t he even been killed because of the misunderstanding that he was carrying Kwon Lam’s child?

“W-wait, sunbae!”

He hurriedly turned Kwon Lam around, catching an expression Kwon Lam failed to conceal. Had he not seen it, Sooha might’ve believed Kwon Lam truly didn’t like him. But the blush clearly visible on Kwon Lam’s face gave him renewed courage.

“Come on, how about we just meet ten times first?”

”…….”

“Can’t we?”

”…….”

“Huh?”

”…….”

Even after persistent questioning, Kwon Lam didn’t explicitly refuse.

“If dating is too much, meeting casually is okay, right?”

”…….” <<less

One day, the iron tree blossoms, and spring buds sprout in winter.... more>>

One year, the great river flows backward, and white crows fill the sky.

One lifetime, good and evil are blurred, and peril shadows every step.

One man, with but a single word, laughs proudly across the world.

He declared:

“The heavens may have nine layers, the earth eight desolate realms—yet I will strive to reign over the Seven Realms.

I seek no refuge in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

I have stolen the grains of others, yet walked the seas as a wandering hero.

Three lifetimes of love, two lifetimes as an immortal—

All I desire... is for my words to pierce the heavens!” <<less

The world only knows that Xiao Yang and Qin Fei fought over the position of Sect Master of the Azure Sun Sword Sect for a thousand years. Yet, only Xiao Yang truly understands just how despicable, shameless, insidious, and ruthless Qin Fei is.... more>>

Why? Because Qin Fei is the young master of the Demonic Sect, a spy planted by them.

However, no one, not even his master, parents, junior martial sister, younger sister, or any of his fellow disciples, believed Xiao Yang. Everyone chose to believe Qin Fei.

Everyone condemned Xiao Yang, claiming he was jealous of Qin Fei, accusing him of slandering and framing Qin Fei.

Qin Fei was simply too good at pretending. He feigned a pitiful background, acted weak, and staged being bullied, gaining people’s pity, sympathy, and protection. With his innate Dao physique, he was hailed as the chosen one of the heavens.

Fine, in this second life, Xiao Yang resolved to show the world how this so-called “chosen one” would massacre the Azure Sun Sword Sect, use the blood of cultivators across the world to break the seal of the Abyss of Demons, and plunge the entire world into a living hell for the demon race! <<less

I have never been loved since I was born. So I was curious about what it feels like to be loved.... more>>

“Your Highness, please love me for just one year.”

I asked him to fall under a spell that would make him love me for just one year.

In return, I would give him information that could change his future.

“I can see the future through foresight.”

I didn’t bother to mention that the price was my own lifespan.

Anyway, I wasn’t planning to live long.

“I accept that proposal.”

So I married him, and 11 months passed.

There was less than a month left. Of my lifespan, and his love.

“The contract will end soon.”

“……I see.”

“Don’t worry. The spell will definitely be broken.”

“That’s not what I’m worried about. Let’s talk about this later.”

“Alright.”

But that ‘later’ never came.

For some reason, the spell broke early, and I had to prepare to leave.

[Thank you for everything.]

I thought everything would be settled by leaving a letter and departing from his side.

He wouldn’t want to see the face of a woman he was forced to love, even for the last time.

But a week later, an unbelievable rumor reached my ears.

He was looking for me. <<less

[Dog Food] [Regret] [Chasing Brother to the Crematorium] ... more>>

In his previous life, Qin Yi was a child lost from a prestigious family. He spent over ten years suffering ab*se outside, and even after being found and brought back, he was still neglected by his relatives.

The life that should have belonged to him was ruthlessly stolen by a substitute.

In the end, he died alone and tragically because of a surgery.

In this life, Qin Yi no longer held any hope for those so-called family members. He would rather die alone again than stay with them—he chose to leave.

And it was precisely this decision that led him to the most precious light in his life.

"Fool."

"They didn’t cherish you, but I will."

"Come home with me."

The woman wore a simple white dress. She gently held Qin Yi’s hand, a warm smile on her face—like an angel. <<less

【Ending: Female Lead Becomes the Strongest!】

Xia Wantang transmigrated into a cultivation novel full of male leads, becoming the cannon fodder saintess who dies right at the beginning.

Luckily, she bound a card draw system—gaining the favor of Sons of Fate allows her to draw cards and grow stronger.

She drew a card and obtained the Extreme Yin Demon Physique, bolting upright in a dying dream—turns out she’s the lucky one!

As she kept drawing and growing stronger, something started to feel off:

I already tried to limit contact to avoid disaster, so why are these Sons of Fate still clinging to me?

No way, I need to fake my death and run!

After successfully faking her death and escaping the Cultivation Realm, and now living it up in the Upper Realm, all the Sons of Fate she once flirted with stubbornly followed her there:

You flirted with me, don’t think you can just walk away!

——

Pure-hearted underdog male lead: She supported and encouraged me at my lowest. It’s easy to add flowers to a brocade, but rare to offer coal in the snow. Her sincerity is truly precious.

Devastatingly handsome demon prince: She did so much for me, even hid my identity. She must be madly in love with me!

Abstinent yet secretly passionate holy son: I’ve never seen such a stunningly ethereal woman—I only wish to have a place in her heart.

Tsundere drama queen ancient divine beast: Sis, they’re all after your looks, I’m the only one who truly loves you QAQ

Graceful and composed mature man: I don’t know why, but my gaze keeps getting drawn to her. Her strength commands my admiration.

Right after I found out I was pregnant, my husband died.... more>>

And I was mu*dered too.

When I opened my eyes, I had returned to two years ago.

“Just so you know, this marriage isn’t my choice.

I don’t sleep with men, even if you manifest as an omega.”

My arranged marriage partner said the exact same thing to me again.

“It’s really confusing, you know.”

Then he closed the distance between us and kissed me, brushing gently with his soft lips.

“I must be insane.

To go into rut because of such a weak pheromone…”

I don’t want to be used anymore.

I don’t want to be mu*dered again.

Please, divorce me.

***

Jeong Minchae: After being mu*dered right after learning about his pregnancy, he returns to two years in the past. He refuses to be tormented and used again because of drug side effects, or to be killed again.

“I’d like the prenup to state that if I don’t manifest as an omega within a year of marriage, we will divorce. Because this marriage is meaningless.”

Baek Mugyeong: Unexpectedly became Executive Director of DS Motors due to a deal with his grandfather, and is now forced into an unwanted marriage.

“I must be out of my mind. To go into rut from such weak pheromones again…”

At a young age, I was caught up in a Gate incident and barely made it out alive. ... more>>

They called me a "miracle child," Jung Jehee.

But that so-called "miracle" meant nothing—I had only barely survived.

I lost my sight, my ability to move freely, and was even diagnosed as terminally ill.

Trapped in a hospital room, all I could do was wait for the day I would die...

Then, in a moment of life-or-death crisis, I awakened as Korea's first-ever S-rank.

After a long, long hospital stay, my new life as an S-rank began.

It should have been something to celebrate.

So why is it that my childhood friend, Im Taehwan, who had been so devoted to me throughout my years of illness, is acting so strange?

"Jehee... don’t tell me... you can see through me?"

Even after learning about my awakening, he seemed oddly unsettled.

"After you're discharged, I was thinking... how about living with me?"

He insisted on living together for some reason.

"Once you're out, why don’t we go study abroad? Anywhere is fine."

Out of nowhere, he started suggesting we move overseas together.

For thirteen years, he took care of me every single day. He should be free to live his own life now.

For the sake of my kind but stubborn friend, I tried my best to gain independence from him.

But then—

"Ah, that? It’s called a re-awakening."

"Seems like I got a little stronger."

To make matters worse, my childhood friend followed right behind me—awakening as the second-ever S-rank in Korea.

Just days after I became the first.

"How did Taehwan end up awakening as an S-rank like me...?"

Is S-rank something contagious?

This is getting seriously weird.

* * *

"Jung Jehee. Do you really not want to live with me?"

"You’re in danger just by being with me. You’re only a B-rank and don’t even have combat abilities. At best, you’re just a normal person with slightly better stamina and strength."

Could Taehwan, who has a non-combat ability, really protect me?

He stayed silent, as if he couldn’t argue with what I said.

"No, it’s just that..."

"You only said your house feels empty to reassure my mom, didn’t you? The truth is, you like being alone—that’s why you never joined a guild. I know how hard it is for solo artifact creators to survive. And yet, you insist on staying independent."

"No, it’s true that I like being alone. But... you..."

"I’m a bit special?"

"...Uh... well... no, I mean..."

"So? What exactly do you mean?"

"...You are... a little special... I guess...?"

Avoiding my gaze, he mumbled under his breath, "We’re friends, after all..."

For someone so big, he still acts just like he did when we were kids.

He won’t meet my eyes, yet he won’t let go of me either. <<less

However, Xu Hao was in a panic.

Because his role was the vicious villain in the novel, and the ending was that the protagonist, his illegitimate son, returned and killed him to take his wife and daughters.

Fortunately, there were still two and a half years before the plot started, and Xu Hao could lay out his plans in advance.

Huh?

He activated the Emotion Harvesting System too?

Campus Belle, CEO, Female Police Officer, Mature Woman, Lolita, Princess, Twin Sisters…

"Why should I marry you?"... more>>

"I told you already, didn't I? I need someone as insensitive as you."

"But why?"

"You'll find out slowly later. Anyway, we need to get married within a month, so prepare yourself."

"Are you dying in a month?"

While Junghyun was talking nonsense about whether the other man didn't want to become a bachelor ghost, he noticed Cha Jaehyuk glancing at his phone screen.

After checking what appeared to be an incoming message, Cha Jaehyuk looked back at him and beckoned with his finger, as if telling him to look.

"What?"

When Junghyun looked at him with a face that said "speak if you have something to say," Cha Jaehyuk narrowed his eyes and smiled brightly.

With a gaze so hot it could melt someone, so enchantingly beautiful.

Unlike moments before, he was now staring at Junghyun with such an intense, loving gaze that it sent chills down Junghyun's spine.

Feeling like something had gone terribly wrong, Junghyun tried to move away, but Cha Jaehyuk was faster.

Suddenly closing the distance between them, he leaned toward Junghyun's shoulder and whispered directly into his ear.

"You should think carefully about what's advantageous for you. Whether you want it or not, you're destined to go through with this marriage."

The strong scent that enveloped him made Junghyun's entire body shiver.

He was definitely an S-ranker.

Junghyun had sensed it somewhat since their first meeting in the elevator, but it became obvious when they got closer.

Even though Cha Jaehyuk was likely suppressing it as much as possible, it was still difficult to handle.

His skin hurt. It felt like a mild electric shock.

The sensation was uncomfortable.

"First, I'd appreciate it if you'd keep your distance."

"Why?"

"I'm someone who needs a wide personal space. This distance is extremely uncomfortable for me."

"Your answer first?"

"If it's about marriage, then no."

"Didn't I tell you that you don't have a choice?"

"No, I do have a choice. I can simply not show up at the wedding."

When Junghyun boasted that he wouldn't meekly walk into a wedding ceremony just because his family forced him to marry—that he could even give the middle finger to the officiant and run away—Cha Jaehyuk smiled languidly.

Chillingly.

Christine was an elite member of a guild who had excellent commissioning skills, but she couldn’t break the curse that caused abnormalities in her body. She suffered her whole life and was only exploited by the guild she worked for.... more>>

She infiltrated the Black Fang Guild, which was said to be full of people who inherited the blood of beasts, to retrieve the jewels that would relieve the pain caused by the curse, but she lost her life when the internal injuries she had suffered went beyond her limit.

But what was happening?

When she opened her eyes, she had returned to a time when she was relatively healthy.

In addition, the pain caused by the curse had surely subsided the moment she touched the gorgeous man who held her when she fell.

‘I might be able to break my curse if I approach that man.’

Christine deliberately approached him to find a clue to lift her curse, and succeeded in seducing him.

“I said I wouldn't hurt you, but you're not cooperating.”

“Ah…”

However… She had no idea that the man she spent the night with was the hidden power of the Black Fang Guild.

Christine regretted bringing up the spy conversation.

She knew how cruel the Black Fang Guild was to those who tried to harness their power.

As expected, Edgar’s eyes shone coldly when she mentioned the spy.

“If I find a spy… I’ll kill them.”

“…”

But for some reason, he looked at her frightened lips and added something he wouldn’t normally say.

“If the spy is pretty, I might let it go.” <<less
