Yoo Yeon-woo heads to Palawan Island in the Philippines for her cousin’s wedding. Suddenly, a tsunami hits, and she gets swept away, only to be dramatically rescued by Major Kang Jae-hyun of the Naval Rescue Squadron. She figured that was it for their connection, never imagining they’d meet again.... more>>

“How many Instagram accounts have you made to pick up girls so far?”

“Excuse me, I didn’t quite catch that?”

“Oh, don’t pretend you didn’t hear me!”

Years later, they meet again in Korea. Jae-hyun is still super handsome, capable, and while he doesn’t talk much, his actions are totally sweet. Sweet enough to offer a contract relationship with a ridiculous proposal.

“Until your mom is stable, I’ll pretend to be your girlfriend, Major Kang Jae-hyun!”

But this guy isn’t an easy catch.

“What do you get out of this contract, Ms. Yoo Yeon-woo?”

What do you think, obviously? It’s you, Major Kang Jae-hyun.

“Who do you think confessed first? Honestly, I’ve never confessed to anyone in my life.”

“Should we say I confessed first?”

At Jae-hyun’s words, her eyes sparkled for a moment.

“I guess that would be better, wouldn’t it?”

The man who disappeared into the sea three years ago now washes into Yeon-woo’s daily life like a wave.

“I grabbed onto you because I don’t want to lose you now. You, Yoo Yeon-woo.” <<less

“That s*ave over there. Can you give him to me?”... more>>

Because that s*ave is actually the male lead of this novel and the long lost son of a duke.

So, if you don’t want to be executed for abusing the male lead, just hand him over to me quietly.

To prevent a massacre ending and to collect the reward offered for the male lead, I risked my life to protect him.

I used him to escape from this miserable household and to fulfill the dreams I couldn’t achieve in my previous life.

“Thank you, Duke.”

When I exchanged the male lead for the reward, his face seemed stained with betrayal, but…

It doesn’t matter.

I made sure to keep a strict line between us so that the male lead wouldn’t catch the rampant male lead affliction: obsession.

So now I plan to run away from him!

Five years later.

I finally managed to open a ‘convenience store’ in this romance fantasy world, and it’s a huge success!

One day, a suspicious customer visited me.

“Welcome!”

Even I, who had the knight commander, the mercenary king, and a priest—who were all famous in the whole empire by the way—as regular customers in the capital, had to catch my breath at the beauty of this customer.

“Are you looking for something?”

“Right here.”

“Pardon?”

“She’s right in front of me.”

His gaze was fixed directly on me.

“I’m sorry, dear customer, but I’m not for sale….”

“Master.”

As I hurriedly bowed my head, I was startled by the familiar yet unfamiliar address from the customer’s mouth.

“You bought me, didn’t you? You must take responsibility to the very end. Like that time, when we shared a single blanket… and spent many nights together. Remember?”

…Wasn’t I supposed to be safe from the male lead’s obsession?

“Lady Raina, marriage should always be with someone far above your station.”... more>>

The empire’s most powerful man — Grand Duke Kaithan.

He proposes to Raina, a mere baron’s daughter, the only one who can soothe his torment.

Despite knowing through a prophetic dream that this union will lead to her death, Raina agrees to a contract marriage for the sake of her crumbling family.

She reassures herself: I’ll escape after a year. That’s all I need.

“Just as promised, let’s divorce today.”

Kaithan’s calm reply brings Raina a sense of relief.

At least, until the next words fall.

“From tomorrow on, you’ll live as my mistress.”

“…What? That’s absurd!”

“Raina, did you really think I’d let you go that easily?”

Kaithan’s chilling gaze made her blood run cold — don’t even think about it. <<less

I found myself inside the bleak BL novel Silence, where both the protagonist and the antagonist perish. And I became the oppressed omega, Seo Heemin, who tries to escape, ends up breaking his ankle, and even suffers a miscarriage. As expected, as soon as I come to my senses, I am sold to Cha Yiheon, who harbors a deep grudge against the original protagonist.... more>>

“Why don't you hit me?”

“...Do you want to be hit?”

Fortunately, he is a revenge-driven character who loves Seo Heemin dearly. To return to reality, I have to gently seduce him and achieve a happy ending.

***

“Hyung, it's Heemin.”

—...Where are you now? Are you crazy enough to want to die?

The raw emotion of his anger was palpable. His rage was at its peak, more intense than ever. But, as I had expected this reaction, I calmly responded to him.

“I’ll be done with my appointment in an hour, so come pick me up. Let's go on a date at our lake park.” <<less

It was when I was 10 years old in my second life. I found the young duke that the female protagonist should have saved.... more>>

In these villains and extras’ novels, it is the standard to help, whether it is the female lead, male lead, or villain.

I know the original, too; since it’s like this, should I try to seduce the duke to avoid the death flag?

But in the original story, the female lead said something to him:

‘I like the Duke as he is.’

Hearing this, this guy came to her in the middle of the night while covered in blood.

‘You said you like me the way I am. I love you too, you will never… You won’t leave me, right?’

Phew, you’re hopeless.

Just die.

Rather than saving the young duke, I decided to break the plot and run away.

But…

“You’re a kid with no blood or tears.”

“Argh! I’m sorry!”

*

“Where else are you going to disappear and hide?”

“……….”

“I tell you, no matter where you hide on this damned empire, there’s nowhere I can’t find you,” the Duke said, but it was not scary at all when he threatened me with such an insecure and desperate face. <<less

Lee Goyo is a fortunate orphan, though her luck takes a dark turn.... more>>

Fourteen years ago, she was rescued alongside the prosecutor’s son from a kidnapping, finding herself under the care of Lee Eui-taek, who was then the deputy chief prosecutor.

However, instead of a sweet reward, she held onto the handle of hell’s gate.

In return for being part of Lee Eui-taek’s family, Lee Goyo became their pawn and pet.

“Lee Eui-taek instructed you to seduce me, didn’t he?”

“If I do, will you fall for it?”

To survive, she must constantly prove her worth. Even if it means seducing someone who had nothing to do with her– KJ Financial’s CEO, Kwon Jae-heon.

“Lee Goyo, what do you want?” Kwon Jae-heon asked her.

“Why? Can you grant it?”

“What do you desire? Tell me sincerely, no jokes.”

“What I desire is…”

Only freedom. Despite her struggles, there seems no escape from this personal hell.

“Just promise me one thing. Promise to rescue me from them.”

She’d gladly accept even a poisoned apple.

“I said I’d kill for you. Don’t you believe me?”

At that moment, to Yo, that dangerously savage man seemed like a savior leading her to paradise. <<less

During an intelligence operation, she came face to face with a spy from an enemy nation.... more>>

Grace, a spy perfected through relentless training.

Running into an enemy spy in the middle of a mission was an unexpected variable.

A masked man curved his eyes in a sly smile.

“Good evening.”

“I don’t think we’re in any position to exchange pleasantries.”

“Haha, there’s no law against greeting your enemy, is there?”

She should’ve realized then that she’d crossed paths with a madman.

What seemed like a chance encounter would become the start of a relentless, ill-fated bond.

“The other day at the restaurant, I wanted to lay you across the table right then and there.”

A large hand grabbed Grace’s chin.

His breath drew close, his unblinking gaze fixed solely on her.

“You have no idea how hard I struggled to hold myself back.”

Grace let out a dry scoff and spat at him.

“Turns out you’re just a beast, aren’t you?”

He smiled, as if he didn’t care what she called him.

Lust dripped from the corners of his lazily narrowed eyes.

“And you’ve made the mistake of provoking that beast.” <<less

"I want to marry you, Mr. Ji Yoon-ho," she declared, immediately feeling his gaze pierce her.

"I've heard enough of your nonsense" he sneered, dismissing her words as trivial and absurd.

"Marriage? You have no sense, no idea of your place." His words hammered home Hyun-ju's position. If she knew her place she wouldn't have even dared to suggest marriage to him.

Just as she was on the verge of despair she received an unbelievable call from him "Let's do it. Let's get married."

Their marriage began without love. Yet, at some point love quietly bloomed. Hyun-ju however found herself crumbling under the weight of a one-sided love with an uncertain future.

"Let's get a divorce" she finally said knowing she could no longer remain by his side. <<less

“You are my only disciple.”... more>>

Simply because she was a princess of Aousis, Ana Rosa was sold into a political marriage at the age of 12 to the old emperor of the rival empire.

Though everyone pitied her, neither her mother nor anyone else came to her rescue.

Seeing Ana Rosa trembling but standing firm against the emperor’s imposing presence, the emperor decided to raise her not as a wife, but as his only disciple.

Their relationship was more like that of a master and disciple than a married couple, more affectionate than even blood-related parent and child.

Knowing the end would come someday, Ana Rosa had been avoiding the inevitable, but the emperor’s death loomed closer, spurred by the crown prince’s desire for the throne.

When it was revealed that the poison that killed the emperor came from Aousis, Ana Rosa was accused of regicide.

In his final moments, the emperor sent Ana Rosa back to her homeland, leaving her with his last words.

“Go and reclaim what you left behind. Assert yourself and, if necessary, conquer. Remember, you are my only disciple.”

Arriving safely in Aousis thanks to the arrangements of her father-like mentor and mother-like concubines, Ana Rosa chose not a life of compliance but a new way of living.

She didn’t need a family here. What she sought was bloody vengeance.

“Everyone will drown in the blood shed by my family.” <<less
