"There can be no love in this marriage."... more>>

With her heart feeling as though it were on the verge of collapse, Selena stared towards the ceremonial hall.

Everyone called her the Marquis's 'treasured jewel', adoring her beyond measure.

But the truth was entirely different.

She had spent her childhood imprisoned on a remote island, existing as if she were already dead — nothing more than a burdensome secret.

She must never let this truth come to light.

Like someone crossing thin ice, Selena took cautious steps forward.

At the end of the path stood the man who would soon become her husband.

"You might as well plead that you're only here because the Marquis forced your hand."

Calix Silas was the Empire's enemy, known as the 'Sun of Thalia'.

"Perhaps my hatred for your father alone would compel me to choose you."

He neither desired this marriage nor felt anything but loathing towards Selena, the Marquis's daughter.

Yet she vividly remembered his words from long ago.

"I will surely return for you."

The man who now regarded her with cold indifference was the same boy she had saved years before, who had remained in her heart ever since.

Desperately, she wished for this hatred to transform into love.

But when Selena received the Marquis's command.

“Find Calix's weakness and kill him.

She felt an overwhelming desire to end her own life instead. <<less

"Ah, him? He's just Daeyeong's acquaintance." He hated those words.... more>>

Choi Seolwoo is trying to leave behind his teens and twenties, which he spent as Won Daeyeong's shadow.

Won Daeyeong (gong), the national team captain who became the first Korean track and field athlete to qualify for the Olympics in the 400m, and Choi Seolwoo (soo), a newly qualified Certified Public Accountant, are childhood friends of over a decade. Choi Seolwoo, weary of the pain of his obsessive unrequited love for Won Daeyeong, impulsively enters into a contractual relationship with a sub-seme and declares a break-up with Won Daeyeong, intending to completely remove him from his life and start anew.

Won Daeyeong is displeased with Choi Seolwoo trying to end their friendship over a relationship. Just how much attention had he demanded since they were young? Even he himself acknowledged how incredibly well he’d treated him. It wasn't as if he had expected anything in return for looking after him, but still, this is absurd. To take him for granted and push him aside like this.

Won Daeyeong proposes that if Choi Seolwoo appears on five episodes of a segment called "An Acquaintance" on his Xtube channel, which has 1.1 million subscribers, he will agree to the break-up.

The filming of a variety show exposing every detail of Won Daeyeong's life begins. Unexpectedly, the view count explodes due to the spicy and entertaining talk with frequent bleeps, the genuine bromance chemistry and realistically fierce fights, and Choi Seolwoo's idol-like visuals. Choi Seolwoo, the "break-up guy," ends up advertising himself to the entire nation as Won Daeyeong's best friend.

Wait, somehow this… seems to be moving further away from a break-up…? <<less

Ignis, Seong Yeon-jun, who drove out the bullying named players and castle lords in the early days after opened, became the server’s living legend and hero.... more>>

However, when his family’s circumstances worsened, he abruptly quit the game, entered the army, and after discharge threw himself into the job market.

After graduating, hiding his identity, he joined the operation/development studio of , the highest-grossing department of the major game company OpenGames, and it seemed a second heyday was about to begin, but…

Yeon-jun ran afoul of the section chief, was demoted, and once again fell.

To find a chance to chop off the chief’s head, he returns to for the first time in ten years.

Unexpectedly, waiting for Yeon-jun was , the current guild-war rank 1 who had admired him since elementary school.

[Whisper/Dohaesal: ??????]

[Whisper/Dohaesal: Are you really Ignis-nim?]

[Whisper/Dohaesal: This isn’t a hack???]

[Whisper/Dohaesal: Can I call you hyung?]

Dohaesal ceaselessly courts Yeon-jun, whom he admires, hoping to recruit him into the guild.

Yeon-jun, an old and exhausted office worker with no desire whatsoever to attempt things like Hacon, finds the boy’s goodwill nothing but burdensome.

Though he is grateful for Dohaesal’s feelings, he refuses the offers every time; then one day,

[System: Ignis-nim has recaptured the Crown of the ‘Heir of Flame’.]

[Whisper/Dohaesal: ♡♡ Hyung, you told me your con was completely dead]

[Whisper/Dohaesal: What’s this??????]

[Whisper/Dohaesal: And then you go fishing like this?]

[Whisper/Dohaesal: Was hyung ♡♡ planning to become a fisherman who hooks people?]

Trying to hook a legendary fish in the PvP zone, Yeon-jun is dragged into a one-sided challenge from a current ranker; under pressure he accepts the duel request and utterly smashes the opponent.

I thought my con was completely dead too.

Before he knows it, Yeon-jun draws attention once more as a top-named who had hidden his power…

Yeon-jun had planned to live peacefully, just get revenge on Chief Ju, and then pull out.

Will he really be able to achieve his goal safely? <<less

As children, Myeongeun and Jinhwan first met at a shaman’s shrine.... more>>

Nineteen years later, they reunite—Myeongeun as a powerless senior in the general affairs team and Jinhwan as the strongest player in the office hierarchy, now the youngest part-timer.

Over those 19 years, Kwon Jinhwan has grown into a stunningly handsome man, but all his positive attributes seem concentrated in his looks, as he has become unbelievably rude to the point where Myeongeun is left speechless.

“From Jinhwan’s perspective, this might feel like being controlled, but a lot of employees live like this,” Myeongeun explains.

“But I’m just a part-timer.”

“……”

“Why should I clock in and out like a regular employee for such pocket change?”

Pocket change?

“Part-timers get an hourly rate, but you’re earning more here than at other companies, Jinhwan.”

“I don’t care about other companies.”

“……”

Due to his innate spiritual sensitivity, Jinhwan has terrible social skills and has grown up to be an insufferable young man. Serving as his handler, Myeongeun finds himself exasperated every day, clutching the back of his neck in frustration… <<less

My husband loved my twin, not me.... more>>

He committed adultery in my mansion on our wedding anniversary.

The day after I found out the disgusting truth,I questioned my twin, Gloria.

“Wouldn’t it be better if I looked exactly like you, rather than flirting with another woman?”

All I got in return was a crazy argument.

I tried to kick Gloria out of the mansion and divorce my husband .

At some point, the situation completely changed.

Everyone called me “Gloria, the crazy widow who coveted her sister’s husband.”

“I’m Marieanne! The mistress of this family, Marieanne Drake!”

No matter how much I shouted the truth, it was no use.

“You’re Marieanne? Please come to your senses, Duchess!”

Only then did I realize, as if collapsing, that my husband was planning to put my twin in his wife’s place.

But what kind of twist of fate was this? My twin’s husband, who had been kicked out as “Gloria,” came back alive. <<less

On her 29th birthday, her husband passed away.... more>>

And now, Sa-hee was standing face to face with him again.

She had returned to two years ago, the night she first spent with him.

“Confusing, isn’t it? Why are you crying?”

“…I’m sorry. It’s nothing.”

“Ms. Yoon, I’m not s*upid. Don’t think you can fool me.

Are you hoping I’ll just let this slide?”

It didn’t matter how this could happen.

Sa-hee simply wanted to protect Ji-Hyuk.

To do that, she needed to change his fate—

Even if it meant helping him marry another woman instead of herself.

“Be honest with me, Ms. Yoon.

I’m asking if you regret sleeping with me.”

But with those same eyes that once dominated her,

With that same voice that made her heart race,

Ji-Hyuk bound her tightly once more.

Cruelly familiar.

“I’m not so out of my mind as to pretend nothing happened after we slept together.”

“Vice President.”

“Let’s give it a shot. Let’s date.”

A different situation from before, but the same confession. <<less
