On a stormy night, Han Seon-ah, an ordinary convenience store worker, extends a small act of kindness to a stranger. But she never expected that kindness to tether her to Hwang Min-jae, a man as dangerously captivating as he is unpredictable. ... more>>

Ever since that night, Min-jae keeps returning—shaking off his umbrella before leaving, lingering too long, pushing boundaries. Then one evening, he makes an unsettling proposal:

"Three hundred a day, is it still valid?"

Seon-ah’s voice trembles as she responds, caught between fear and something she can’t quite name.

"Take me with you."

But Min-jae's offer isn't as she imagined. His terms are different.

"Three hundred at once."

The meaning is clear—whatever she thought she was agreeing to, he wants it paid in full, upfront. There’s no slow descent into whatever lies ahead. It’s all or nothing.

A cigarette rests between his lips, the rising smoke concealing the scar at the corner of his mouth. His next words carry a quiet, unsettling weight:

"I just wanted to enjoy it more."

That single motion—lighting the cigarette with practiced ease—feels like an act of violence in itself. The air freezes, the power dynamic shifts, and for the first time, he doesn't bother gauging Seon-ah’s reaction.

As their entanglement deepens, Seon-ah finally gathers the courage to ask:

"Why did you come to this neighborhood? ……… Do you like me?"

Min-jae doesn’t hesitate.

"I like you. No one’s going to come looking for you, Seon-ah."

His pale, curved eyes gleam as he speaks, his words tearing through her mind like a storm. A primal instinct screams at her to run. Desperation overtakes her.

"I can't do this...…. I want to leave. Let me go."

But Min-jae only smirks, his voice laced with unsettling amusement.

"I'm saving your miserable life. Right now, I'm playing along with your little game."

Then, in a voice softer than expected, he murmurs a single word: "Baby."

The affectionate yet chilling term sends her tears spilling over. Her vision darkens, and she finds herself longing for the kind manager who once chased away troublesome customers.

Then, Min-jae’s voice drops, carrying an unmistakable warning:

"Let's try this again while I'm still being nice. You don’t want to see the worst of me, do you?"

What started as a fleeting encounter turns into a dangerous game of control and submission. Seon-ah is trapped in a web she never saw coming—but is it truly her choice, or was it never hers to begin with? <<less

Where there is death, there are always crows.... more>>

Those called crows, who find and assemble corpses.

Among those crows, Kang Dong-jae, the foremost crow, meets and receives teachings from the ghost of Jo Yang-seung, the former best martial artist under heaven.

“You foolish boy. You shouldn’t be doing this kind of work. You should enter the Martial Alliance and become a hero.”

“Ah, what skills do I have to become a hero of the 'jianghu'?”

The crow's wings unfold to become the best martial artist under heaven! <<less

One day, Yeonjae loses her memory in an unexpected accident.... more>>

Still disoriented from the aftermath, she ends up in a blind date with Kang Doheon, the third son of Korea’s leading conglomerate JS Group and CEO of JS Leisure.

“Doesn’t it bother you to get married like this, as if being sold off? Doesn’t it hurt your pride?”

“If I don’t get to choose my partner anyway, I might as well marry a guy who’s handsome and well built.”

Escaping from a nasty stepmother and a wicked half-sister and marrying a ridiculously hot guy?

This must be life’s jackpot!

But although Doheon claimed this was a formal marriage with no expectation of love, he starts showing signs of genuine interest in her again and again.

“I didn’t hold your hand, kiss you, or sleep with you just to keep up an act in front of others. I didn’t keep replying to your messages every day and reach out first just for divorce paperwork.”

“……Then what?”

Yeonjae felt like her heart was about to explode.

Though she had countless delusions about Doheon, not even in her wildest dreams did she expect he’d actually fall for her.

Her fantasies never went beyond stripping him down and putting him in just an apron in the kitchen.

So why now?

“I did it because I wanted to. I can’t stop thinking about you. I’m curious about you. I want to touch you.” <<less

Seriously, how on earth did that diary end up in his hand?... more>>

"Why did you draw me? Completely naked, too."

Yes, luck or good fortune couldn't possibly exist in Seong Yeon-woo's life.

Only misfortune exists.

***

"Honestly, I was about to give up. You’re too young… And I know full well that I’m a terrible bastard."

"......"

Why does he think badly of himself....

His tone was too firm for it to be just about age.

I wanted to tell you that you were never a bad person. That you were always warm to me, like a light that gave me courage I didn't even have.

As Yeon-woo breathed out softly in his arms, Woo-seong continued in a gentle tone.

"But then your diary fell into my hands."

At these words, an embarrassed Yeon-woo darted her eyes around in Woo-seong's arms. Woo-seong cupped Yeon-woo's cheeks and lifted her face to meet his gaze.

"The moment I saw it, I lost it."

"Why..."

"I realized that I could never give up Seong Yeon-woo. That conviction hit me. Even her handwriting was exactly my type. Enough to make me get hard while reading it."

"G-Get.... Cough." <<less

I woke up from my sleep, only to find myself trapped in an apocalyptic game. And of all things, it's one where the protagonist is a hopeless and worn-out character with no dreams and aspirations who’s driven insane by repeated regressions!... more>>

I can't die in a place like this. I must see the ending and return home.

To get back to my world, I needed the protagonist's abilities. Since he's just a game character anyway... I decided to use him.

"I missed you, noona. I really missed you..."
"...Why are you saying that all of a sudden? We've been together all this time."
"Please don't throw me away. Okay? Don't leave me behind. I'll do better..."

But this protagonist's mental state was far too weak. And using his abilities drained his mental strength even more, making him cling to me even more.

I had no choice.

It's not because he's cute or anything; it's for the sake of reaching the ending that I'm helping him recover. But instead of getting better...

"Why do we need a plan? We're not escaping anyway."
"Huh? What do you mean by that?"
"You'll stay with me, right? I only need you. Nothing else matters to me."

...Will I be able to return to my original world safely?

***

"Think back to some happy memories."

He opened his mouth as if he’d calmed down a little while thinking about that.

"Noona, the happiest memory for me was when I first met you." <<less

Jane, a fallen noble lady, has one secret while repaying her family's massive debt.... more>>

She is the hottest romance novel writer these days!

The one who discovered Jane's hidden identity was Duke Ian Hickston.

“If you change your mind later, I'll kill you.”

Jane ultimately accepts Ian's proposal to write novels for her plan.

The offer was too sweet to refuse!

“Ian, please stop acting like someone who hasn't read romance.”

“Jane. You seem to know one thing but not the other. It's not that I couldn't date; I chose not to.”

Living together in the same house, they become aware of each other and develop subtle feelings.

A woman who learned romance through writing and a man who didn't even learn it through writing.

Can the romance learned through writing become reality? <<less

I had a supporting role in a modern fantasy.... more>>

The loyal dog of a villain with an angel’s name, Cheon Sa-yeon, and an unfortunate supporting character who died on his behalf, Han Yi-gyeol.

In order to escape from Cheon Sa-yeon and survive, he must use the protagonist, Ha Tae-heon.

But Ha Tae-heon, who he thought of as a lifeline, was infinitely indifferent to him. Rather, Cheon Sa-yeon showed interest.

But besides that, something strange happened.

The events that occurred in the original story had advanced, and the gate and monster levels had risen. Even the people were “different” from the original.

The original version I was trying to use was wrong. <<less

Seventeen-year-old Seoya was exiled from her original world after being accused of a crime. When she came to her senses, she found herself in an unfamiliar world called Earth.... more>>

“Baby, do you want to live with me?”

For some reason, this world is too easy for her..?

***

“I’ll go through 6 S-rank dungeons first!”

“No, Seoya. You don’t have to do anything. No, please don’t.”

“Seoya, what about thinking it through?”

“Baby!!! Don’t do it!!! That’s not it!!! Don’t break it!!!!”

They say I’m the strongest in this world, but no matter how much I think about it, my guardians are too overprotective.

On top of that, the system is somehow suspicious.

“Are you going to abandon me? How could I abandon my petite cute, soft, and fluffy dog!”

“Princess, is there anything you want?”

“The hunters hold the power in this world. So you just need to grab the hunters’ leashes.”

“The only thing I can give you, Seoya, is capital. And I think there’s nothing that can’t be bought with capital.”

It seems like all the the top human hunters have all gone a little crazy.

Can I… go back to my original world?

“You know, maybe…”

Only then did Seoya realize.

A new work by Hyung Sang-jun, author of "Underworld Restaurant"!... more>>

Yoo Tae-pung, who has failed every job interview, finally has a chance to get employed!

“Goblins will come to see the books. When they come, just do as they say.”

However, the job involves dealing with ‘goblins’!

While becoming engrossed in the lives of mystical goblins who use magical items like ‘Goblin Headbands,’ ‘Goblin Clubs,’ and ‘Tiger Eyebrows,’ Tae-pung also gets a glimpse into the lives of real people through the books in the library, which are filled with human joys and sorrows written from the goblins’ perspective. Gradually, he begins to get involved in their lives…

The unpredictable story of Yoo Tae-pung, caught up in the whirlwind of goblins, begins now! <<less

I possessed a childcare novel, in a rather absurd role.... more>>

‘The eldest son who resembles the cool-headed duke of the north… is a girl?’

In the original work, he was the duke’s eldest son and heir who adopted the female protagonist, gruff to everyone but affectionate to her as the eldest brother. And now, that was who I had become!

“Since Belladi is the elder sister, you should be accommodating, right?”

Even our parents raised my younger brother and me differently.

“As the heir, I command you, behave and don’t do anything!”

My novel counterpart’s brother was ignoring me completely.

… well, who cared about being a son or daughter? First, let’s discipline this disrespectful little brother.

***

I decided to reclaim what the original eldest had possessed and correct the hierarchy in the house. From loyal servants to the spirit’s treasures, even the heir’s position. And finally, Father returned home with the young original female protagonist.

“She will be known as Nesia, the youngest of our family from now on. Come, start call me Dad.”

“I’m your brother! Say it quickly!”

The now 11-year-old female protagonist was truly lovely and angelic. Of course, I wasn’t interested in her at all. There were plenty of others who admired her besides me. But something felt strange?

“Ah…”

“Yes, Dad!”

“No, brother!”

“Sister… ♡”

The female protagonist pushed aside my frozen father and younger brother to come to me. I hadn’t done anything for her, so why did she like me? <<less

“I was given a building as an inheritance?”... more>>

From a nobody who does all kinds of odd jobs and lived a hard life, he was given a chance to become a landlord right in the middle of Gangnam!

But, the condition for this inheritance is to ‘operate a restaurant for 5 years.’

‘Moreover, I can sense a chill down my spine thanks to the weird customers that came in for today’s store opening……Do I really just need to prepare food?’

“So then...all the guests who came in yesterday…”

“They were ghosts.”

Every night starting from 11 o’ clock until 1 o’clock, we will now be open! <<less

Judith, the empire’s princess, is renowned for her beauty and innocence.... more>>

This seemingly perfect woman had one secret inclination.

‘I want to make them cry…’

She was a pe*vert who got excited by the sight of handsome men crying.

However, finding a handsome man who perfectly matched her taste was not easy.

As she wandered day after day searching for a man who struck her fancy,

“Hic… Your Highness… I only need Your Highness.”

A pretty boy, Kaizen Pentmian, rolled into her life, crying softly in the moonlight.

Judith barely concealed her emerging smile as she saw the war hero who led the victory against the North, the Knight Commander, kneeling and sobbing at her feet.

You’re mine.

***

Though hidden by a partition, any sound would be immediately detected. Even if he escaped through the window by the bedhead, a body as large as Kaizen’s wouldn’t go unnoticed.

‘Perhaps it’s better to wait quietly until those maids return to their duties…’

Gulp.

Just as she finished this thought, she clearly heard the sound of swallowing through the vibrations of their touching bodies. Judith looked down.

Kaizen looked up at her, his face bright red and pupils trembling wildly.

“Your Highness, now… this, this kind of thing…”

At first, she couldn’t understand what he meant. Only when she felt his member gradually swelling against her bare leg did Judith realize what kind of misunderstanding Kaizen had made.

‘Does he think I’ve pounced on him to do more in this state?’

With a trembling voice, he appeared torn between pulling away and staying close. His hands instinctively gripped her waist, but upon realizing how intimate this gesture was, he flinched and quickly released his hold.

She hadn’t even thought about it, yet he had already conjured expectations of his own.

‘Making me want to live up to those expectations.’

Kaizen’s already thin thread of reason snapped. Judith smiled, licking her lower lip slowly like a street ruffian, and ran her hand from Kaizen’s nape down to his chest.

“What do you mean by ‘this kind of thing’?”

“Your Highness… ugh…!”

The muscles under his clothes quivered wherever her touch landed, then suddenly contracted when she pinched his side.

The sight of the large man trembling and shrinking in her arms aroused desires she didn’t know she had.

“I was just planning to stay quiet until we were alone. What exactly were you thinking?”

Judith sneered as she lowered her head and bit his ear hard. Kaizen jerked beneath her.

“Were you expecting something?” <<less

I became the soon-to-be duchess who’ll end up divorced when the female lead arrives.... more>>

Anthea had a sickly body, an awful temperament, and died in an ending fitting of a villainess.

“I’ll use this pretty face of mine. I won’t die as a low-quality villainess.”

The count is my guardian and I will steal everyone’s hearts in the count’s estate. I would often collapse due to my sickly body, but I was at least able to move. All of this is for the happiness I’ll attain after my divorce.

As expected, I had a political marriage, so if I act like a villainess, then I’ll be divorced, but it isn’t easy as I thought?

“Goodness, Madam you’re so kind. I’ll follow you forever.”

“Our Madam has a pretty face and a pretty heart.”

Every bad deed I did was perceived as a kind act.

“Wife, if you can’t fall asleep, I can make you tired.”

The cold duke, Richard, why are you doing this? Your character has completely changed from the novel.

Let’s stay far away from each other. Please stop clinging to me. Because if this continues, I’ll become emotionally attached to you. <<less

I've regressed.... more>>

I was mu*dered for being a wicked woman, reincarnated, and was doing well, and now I'm back?

It was a shocking development, even more so than when I realized my previous life was a work of fiction.

'Let's get out of the Empire. I will live for my own happiness in this life.'

Aelia had no intention of reliving the past.

However, before she made decision, the people around her began to change.

"I will stay with you, I will not leave you, I will protect you from anything."

Even I begged and clung to him, but those who had turned their backs on me hovered around me.

"Are you hurt?" he asked.

The Crown Prince, who had been walking past, pretending not to notice when he was grabbed by the hair before his eyes, inquired.

"Why are you suffering alone, the Princess of the Empire?"

The Matriarch, who glared at her as if he would tear her to shreds every time they met, poured out a torrent of worries.

And the biggest problem is.

"Are they starving you in the palace? Why do you look so thin every time I see you?"

The mysterious man.

His voice was gentle, whispering a warmth she hadn't known she needed.

As if he was trying to make up for the deficiency Aelia felt in her previous life.

In this life, could she be happy? <<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

But how could I be so unlucky and get kidnapped and sent to an orphanage?

“Why don’t you come with us?”

I was adopted by a rich family.

Thus, I decided to stay and then leave in three years' time, after causing a moderate amount of trouble.

“Are you going to leave?”

“Huh?”

“Are you really leaving us?”

“Live. Even if it’s a shameful and dirty life. Live, Ahee.”

How come you guys saved me?
Revenge was achieved while I carried that question in my heart my whole life.
At that end, I finally closed my eyes, and after that.

“Baaaa?”

I ended up turning back time!

If it’s martial arts, then it’s martial arts, if it’s money, then it’s money, if it’s strategy, then it’s strategy.

But it's weird.

“Ahee likes me the most.”
“What are you talking about. She likes me more than you, who knows nothing but duties of the Head of the Clan.”

My older sister and brothers, whom I had thought hated me, are now arguing over me, and are fretting that they can’t give more to me.
And...

“Wait for me, Master. Since I'll be back with proper prey in my mouth. Don't hang around in unnecessary places.”
“What?”
“If I come back after finishing the thing I’ve been told to do but then see s*upid things get tangled up next to you, I’ll go crazy, you know.”

Adele, the Princess of Chenzel, was strictly raised as a tool.... more>>

For a while, she was happy to be married to the Prince of Delt, Reholtein.

Reholtein, who she loved more than anyone else, suddenly collapsed.

The venomous blood flowing through Adele’s body.

Words of the curse openly circulated, and the nickname ‘The Witch of Chenzel’.

It was all true; Adele realized too late.

After killing a loved one with her own hands.

He was her spring at the end of a long winter and the day at the end of a long night.

For the first time, she got greedy and loved.

“Rech, I’ll save you at all costs this time.”

A second chance came to Adele, who was named a witch and burned at the stake.

***

A dizzying sensation passed over her, like a weak electricity was flowing. It was a feeling that she had never experienced before. As it was repeated twice, no, thrice, Adele’s bottom got wet. It felt like something was flowing from the inside, not because of his saliva.

“Ha, ah!”

Without realizing it, her voice was high. Adele hastily covered her mouth with her hand. Even the voice that came out of her throat was unfamiliar to her, but Reholtein looked only skillful. Adele clenched her fingers and pulled Reholtein’s hair with her fingertips.

“Stop, uh, there’s……. Rech, Re…….”

The first stimulus made her body twist, and her voice trembled slightly. By the time she thought the limit was about to come, Reholtein suddenly stopped moving.

“Reholtein……?”

His face caught her eye through the heat-blurred vision. Between her legs were the ears of Reholtein, who had buried his face.

“Once again, please call me, Adele.”

“Huh, wait… What?”

“My name. Like how you called me earlier.” <<less
