She had a noble appearance that did not suit her station.

That was the reason he had bought her.

“Turn the girl’s face. I need to check for any flaws.”

To him, Breti was nothing more than a useful object, nothing more, nothing less.

But then, one rainy night, he started visiting her room.

“L-Let me go!”

“You've nothing to lose, have you?”

His low voice seeped into her ear.

“Be honest, Breti. You enjoyed it too, didn't you?”

“...”

“Just cry and tremble beneath me. That’s what you’re for.”

But who was the one holding her in his arms night after night? <<less

With that bullshit, he proposed a two-year contract marriage: a poor estate, heavy responsibilities, and an uncertain future.

Considering all that, wasn’t it actually a grateful piece of bullshit? So, Renee willingly became the contract wife of her damned first love.

It was about two years ago.

“No, I don’t need an extension. Why bother for someone who’s starting anew?”

With a twisted smirk of disbelief, Alexander quietly looked up at the sky.

A new start……

He was muttering as if he was thinking over the words she said and asked back in an unpleasant voice.

“What are you going to do after divorce?”

“Now I want to live the way I want to. Go on trips and have passionate relationships. ah!”

Renee, who was looking at Alexander’s frowning brow, laughed nervously and added,

“I also want to try some wild nights in bed, something I never did with my fake husband.”

To truly face each other,

it was something they absolutely had to go through. <<less

“You seem to have lost about two years of memories. It’s amnesia. Shall we try opening up your mind?”... more>>

After waking up in the hospital following a carriage accident, she was told she had amnesia. She was slightly taken aback by his words, but it was okay. Nothing had changed, so there was nothing to worry about. But that night, she found a strange warning in her torn diary.

[You must not love him.]

…Him? Who was he?

In the moment of uneasy questioning, a black carriage stopped in front of her mansion, piercing through the damp mist.

“Just a few days ago, you sent a breakup note, and today you’ve completely forgotten me?”

“You claim to have been my lover, yet you can’t even tell if I’m lying or not.”

“I… don’t know you?”

As if her words touched something within him, the man’s voice ominously lowered.

“…How much more do I need to know about you before I can say I know you?”

Suppressing his rough desire, his golden eyes sank deeply.

“I know everything about you, even the parts you can’t see.”

The owner of the luxurious opera house dominating Carin’s pleasure, Karl Winger, appeared, claiming to be her lover.

Suspicious headaches, a nighttime intruder, overwhelming inspiration.

What memories has she lost?

…Is approaching the truth really in her best interest? <<less

※ This work contains depictions of coercive relationships, explicit language, and other graphic content. Reader discretion is advised.... more>>

I transmigrated into an R-rated novel about kidnapping and confinement.

The kidnapping was an act of revenge.

This was because the female lead’s older brother had kidnapped the younger brother of one of the male leads—Rezus Anocton.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

In retaliation, the male leads decided to kidnap that older brother’s younger sister—namely, the female lead herself—and use her as a hostage.

And that female lead… was me. <<less

Flora, the beloved youngest daughter of the Shallong family.... more>>

One day, her father tells her she must marry Emeric, the second son of their family’s sworn enemy.

“What do you mean? By royal decree? Marrying into the Blois family?”

And of all people, not the eldest son—a gentleman among gentlemen—but the second son, Emeric, notorious for his terrible temper!

In deep despair, Flora sent Emeric a letter saying she couldn’t marry him.

[Dear Lady Flora,

I received your letter a few days ago.

However, as your words were far too absurd, I am replying out of courtesy.

The groom will not change.

From Emeric Blois.]

Leaving her with the worst first impression possible, the marriage proceeds without a hitch!

❖

At first, she thought him nothing more than another vile member of the Blois family.

But when she begins to investigate the family secret that started it all, Flora and Emeric slowly begin to draw closer.

“When the day comes that I can fully trust you, I’ll show you her diary then.”

“You say it with remarkable poise for something you clearly mean never to show me.”

“What makes you so sure?”

“I’m a Shallong, and you’re a Blois.”

Emeric frowned.

“And why is that a problem?”

“Do you really have to ask? Even children know this!”

“You are Flora, and I am Emeric.”

“…So you mean, we’re simply ‘us’.”

His reply, strangely, struck a chord deep within her.

“When the day comes that you trust me enough to call me Eric…”

Emeric stopped speaking and stroked Flora’s cheek again.

“I will make sure no one lays a hand on this face, on this body. No one will ever dare touch the wife of Emeric Blois.” <<less

Lilith despised the man her younger sister, Rosalin, had taken in.... more>>

A former s*ave with nothing but a handsome face to his name.

No matter how she looked at it, he was unworthy of Rosalin.

Everyone adored the story of “a beautiful noble lady and the young boy she saved,” but Lilith found it utterly repulsive.

So, when rumors spread that the two might elope, Lilith made up her mind.

She had to get rid of him.

For Rosalin, she was willing to do anything.

And so, Lilith succeeded in sending the man off to war.

Now, there was no longer an “unknown, lowly s*ave boy” by Rosalin’s side.

Lilith was genuinely satisfied.

But even Lilith Blaine, the great noblewoman, could not have foreseen one thing—

The man she sent to his death would return as a hero. <<less

MC: Hajae Shin (Johan), 26 years old, has an immortal body due to a curse but has only one year to live. He hides his identity as Johan from Simeon.

***

‘Those who receive this curse will die in 10 years.’

I inherited ‘Destined to Die’, a curse that guarantees my death on a certain day. And no matter what I do until then, I cannot die.

Hajae Shin becomes terminally ill after inheriting a curse from his mother. A curse that will be passed on to the person you love the most in life once you die.

“I thought you disliked me. So, I thought you were avoiding me.”

“I don’t… dislike you.”

After Hajae starts volunteering at the cathedral’s orphanage, he is drawn to Sang Heo, and the two gradually become closer.

But, unwilling to pass the curse onto Sang, Hajae leaves his side…

“Don’t leave me, hyung. Don’t throw me away.”

“Don’t worry. I’m not going anywhere.”

I’m sorry.

Hajae and Sang reunite again seven years later. The child Hajae met at the orphanage had grown up and become ‘Simeon,’ an S-class hunter and leader of the guild, ‘The Apostles’.

“Why are you so nervous? Are you scared? You’re worried I’ll do something bad?” <<less

A Man Consumed by Beauty... more>>

Mikhail Ophilenz, the most powerful man in the kingdom, a collector obsessed with beautiful things.

And before him appears Oliver Enel—a boy who is not just beautiful but excessively so.

The boy’s beauty was as practical as it was captivating.

For instance, he could serve as a toy to distract the mad Princess Isabella, whose obsessive fixation on Mikhail had become a problem.

“Do whatever you must to imitate me in front of the princess. Her taste? It’s simple—she only wants me.”

But this plan hinged on one key condition: that Oliver was a real boy.

Mikhail brushed his now-roughened cheek with his hand.

Oliver’s clever little lie had managed to fool not only the royal family but Mikhail himself.

* * *

“Repay me.”

The words came out sharp and venomous as Mikhail addressed the powerless woman, pinned beneath him and unable to even draw breath.

“And live. Stay by my side. Pay me back as long as you live.”

Her dazed blue eyes, wide with shock, reflected the maddened golden gaze of an angel who had fallen into obsession.

“I’m a man of greed. Live. Be a man by day and a woman by night. For the crime of deceiving me, you’ll pay—and I’ll ensure it, even if I have to kill you in the end.”

His eyes, feral and predatory, were utterly at odds with the refined image of the Duke of Ophilenz. <<less

Once again, Harriet couldn’t argue with her uncle’s decision to pin the blame on her for the trouble her cousin Bella had caused. After all, she was an orphan, living under the care of her guardian, her uncle.

Even though she became known as a scandal maker in society, even though people gossiped behind her back, Harriet believed that at least her uncle’s family would understand her sacrifice.

That was until she was accused of stealing the duke’s brooch and sent away to the strict convent, known for its harsh discipline.

“A scandal maker? Fine. If that’s what they want to call me, I’ll become a real scandal maker.”

With revenge in her heart, Harriet returned to the city, only to find herself face-to-face with Duke Kaylas, the man who had been the reason she was sent to the convent.

“They say people change after coming back from St. Clarissa’s convent. I guess it’s true.”

His cold, piercing eyes shone with a dangerous curiosity, almost as if he were suspicious. <<less

Finally feeling happy for a moment at the news of the original protagonists’ marriage, she returned after hearing about her mother’s passing…

…But why is everything all messed up?

No, more importantly, why was she in confinement?!

The original male lead, who was her childhood friend and fiancé, spoke.

“If I had known you’d fall for such a simple trick like a death notice, I would have done it sooner.”

The male lead, who she thought had married someone else, laughed at her with utterly crazed eyes.

Why was he like this now? He wasn’t like this before.

Every day, a recurring hellish dream. Junseong is stuck in a world that feels like an endless loop, much like a rogue-like game. It’s a cursed world where he struggles every day. Two months have passed since he set foot in the zombie apocalypse world in his dreams. “Ha….” As soon as he woke up, his gaze was instinctively drawn to the internet broadcast that he habitually left on. -A major riot is occurring in some regions due to the current situation… Then, beep!

[10:44 AM] It was the exact time he had always woken up in his dream. Everything was just like his usual dreams. However, a man he had never seen in his dreams before, Do-hanseo, appeared right in front of Junseong. “I’ve been wanting to ask you something.”

“What?” As Junseong was about to reply, he felt a change in Hanseo’s gaze. The smile that had been on his lips disappeared. Consequently, Junseong felt a strong, cold, and sharp pressure, as if a dagger was piercing his throat. “Why do you look at me like that?” Feeling the strange pressure, Junseong, who had tightly sealed his lips for a moment, asked instead. “How am I… looking at you?”

“….” Instead of an immediate answer, Hanseo just gazed silently. Then, he showed the ‘fake smile’ he had been holding onto a little while ago. His clothes were too clean, his body had no wounds, and the smell of blood was so strong in comparison. When he took off his clothes, he could be sure. The scent of blood from the man named Do-hanseo was not from his ‘clothes’ but emanated from him. <<less

In an age of upheaval, Crown Prince Zihardhi ascended the throne following the death of Queen Olivia.... more>>

No one questioned his worthiness to rule.

“You’re angry, aren’t you? So angry you’d rather not let them live.”

One day, Zihardhi’s true face behind the mask was unmasked, by none other than a mere scrap of a girl, brought to the royal palace at the late Queen Olivia’s behest.

‘The girl from the Ferlos family who bought her title with money.’

What began as simple curiosity toward Romia soon twisted into relentless torment, fed by her refusal to behave as expected.

Zihardhi dealt with his fascination in that manner, relentlessly testing and probing Romia, like trying to untangle a string of inscrutable modifiers, always eager to see what would come next.

“You know when I’m angry, when I’m sad, and when I’m glad.

So how can you not know, that I lust for you?”

She could name sorrow, anger, and joy. yet failed to recognise the desire directed at her. Until Romia could name that emotion, too…

“If I ask for a divorce, you’ll kill me.”

“What do I have to gain by doing that?”

“I don’t know… A sense of conquest?”

The oracle had spoken.... more>>

That a hero of the Empire must marry in order to live.

That the woman he married would be blind.

"I bought Lady Elise with money, and you must expect nothing else from me."

That she would not crave his affection or beg for his attention.

These were the only rules of their three-year contract marriage.

Elise, the only daughter of a fallen nobleman, took the hand of the man who would steal her eyesight for the honor of her father and her family.

And she never opened her eyes again.

Until three years later, when she heard her husband's obituary.

During the funeral, her husband, who was said to have died in battle, came back alive.

He had forgotten his crippled wife and the existence of the contract.

"You are beautiful. Like a snowflake."

The husband, who had said the marriage was just a deal, spoke of his longtime love.

Kaiden looked down at Trinity trapped beneath his arms and gasped for breath.

Unlike the bold demeanor she had displayed in her counterattack, Trinity’s body was small and delicate enough to fit snugly in his embrace.

The moment he met her dark eyes, wide with surprise, Kaiden tightened his arms involuntarily.

Thick sinews bulged in his arms as he struggled to keep himself from collapsing onto her.

“I’d say it’s remarkable.”

His opposite hand, not touching the ground, cradled Trinity’s head. The palm held her soft hair, while the back of the hand was in contact with the harsh wintry chill of the ground.

Trinity shuddered as she squeezed his hand, the sensation unfamiliar but not unwelcome.

Kaiden’s hand trembled with hers.

It was a relationship formed through a contract, but still, an engagement!
