“Your duty is to appear before His Majesty the Emperor as the fiancée of the Grand Duke.” ... more>>

A sudden fire and the disappearance of her family.

As Audrey is consumed by despair, an unexpected proposal is made…

To become the spark of revolution.

“You own nothing.”

Hearing those words by chance, rather than breaking her, gives Audrey courage.

In the end, she chooses to abandon herself,

Throwing everything into the stormy, winter sea.

To find her missing family, she takes the Grand Duke’s hand.

And the freedom she gains is far sweeter than expected.

A false identity, a false life, a false fiancé.

Yet it is far more liberating than the life she once knew.

“I must make myself useful.”

Lystan Clifford, the emperor’s half-brother and a prince of the colonies.

He places Audrey in the role of his fake fiancée to further his revolution.

His heart, once consumed solely by vengeance, begins to beat differently in her presence.

She was meant to be nothing more than a tool, yet his resolve falters.

***

Icy blue eyes and mysterious golden ones.

The forsaken prince, Lystan Clifford.

He became the vast, devouring winter sea that swallowed her whole.

The discarded pawn, Audrey Eckborn.

Never once did she imagine she would become the only sun capable of melting his frozen life. <<less

Meiyan, a barber in New York, barely scrapes by, burdened by debt. His only wish is to live long enough to outlast all the hardships he's endured. Then, his life takes an unexpected turn.... more>>

Implicated in a mu*der that occurred two days prior, he's kidnapped by the Italian mafia organization, "Hotel New York." There, he meets Edgar Han, a man said to own America.

"Chen thinks you're special."

Realizing Meiyan is being used as bait, Edgar Han brings him in as an "important guest." Meiyan ends up living in a beautiful mansion on Long Island, working as Edgar Han's personal barber.

"You have a lot of money, right? How much?"

"More than you can imagine."

"Then... could you pay off my debt?"

One day, Meiyan, the ever-wary barber, finds himself gradually falling for Edgar Han... <<less

"Are you saying that a barbarian's request cannot be granted?"... more>>

Kayan sneered, glancing at his empty goblet.
There was no one to save his target, the good princess Ihedia.

Ihedia paced calmly and tipped her flask.

"What are you... doing?"

The cold liquor soaked the back of Kayan's hand and dripped to the floor.

Ihedia was undaunted by Kayan's glare.

But by royal decree, Ihedia must serve as Kayan's night maid.

“I’m not feeling very excited right now. Shouldn't the good Princess show some sincerity?"

"......."

"Why don't you take off your own clothes and do some tricks?"

Kayan's brilliant smile shone like the devil's. <<less

My older sister, who left home to become the bride of the monstrous fallen prince, returned dead. And then:... more>>

“I greet the next princess consort of the fallen prince.”

I became the next princess consort.

Yuan had no intention of ever yielding to the monstrous fallen prince’s cold reception. No matter how long she waited outside, she would never return to that dreadful house.

“If you don’t want to go back, then die. But not in front of my house.”

Until then, Claude didn’t know that his ninth wife would be there for three whole days.

“What if we consummate the marriage?”

The butler, Gustav, who was about to turn away, paused for a moment.

“If we consummate the marriage, even if His Highness wants to drive me away, he won’t be able to, right?”

The butler looked at her with wide eyes, as if wondering how she could think of such a thing. Yuan had no plans to ever leave this comfortable mansion. No matter what it took. <<less
