Right after I found out I was pregnant, my husband died.... more>>

And I was mu*dered too.

When I opened my eyes, I had returned to two years ago.

“Just so you know, this marriage isn’t my choice.

I don’t sleep with men, even if you manifest as an omega.”

My arranged marriage partner said the exact same thing to me again.

“It’s really confusing, you know.”

Then he closed the distance between us and kissed me, brushing gently with his soft lips.

“I must be insane.

To go into rut because of such a weak pheromone…”

I don’t want to be used anymore.

I don’t want to be mu*dered again.

Please, divorce me.

***

Jeong Minchae: After being mu*dered right after learning about his pregnancy, he returns to two years in the past. He refuses to be tormented and used again because of drug side effects, or to be killed again.

“I’d like the prenup to state that if I don’t manifest as an omega within a year of marriage, we will divorce. Because this marriage is meaningless.”

Baek Mugyeong: Unexpectedly became Executive Director of DS Motors due to a deal with his grandfather, and is now forced into an unwanted marriage.

“I must be out of my mind. To go into rut from such weak pheromones again…”

“Even if we agreed not to interfere in each other’s lives, it’s still disrespectful to carry another alpha’s scent.” <<less

I’m a fake bride.... more>>

Diello Argenta’s name engraved on my back indicated that I was his soulmate… but I was a fake.

One day, I possessed the unscrupulous villainess’ body inside an adult novel.

Is there any way I could survive?

…Contract marriage!

I’ll be his wife and act the part to protect his purity until the real one appears. So when the Duke of Argenta awakens his power, he will destroy my villainous family.

While becoming a fake couple with the innocent Diello Argenta, acting sweet day and night…

“If your soulmate appears, it’s time to end the contract.”

Hearing that, Diello, the Duke of Argenta, gave me a long look.

“When a Ferro dies, a new Ferro will be assigned.”

As he grabbed the tip of my chin, the distance between us shortened.

“…I’ll kill them until it’s you.”

What’s with him?

Out of nowhere, he started obsessing over me.

Wasn’t he supposed to be a pure and sweet guy?! <<less

Kwon Yijae, a director of the British defense industry company "Quantum," visits Korea to oversee the confidential Project K. There, he encounters Shin Jeha, an esper who has been dying for five years due to the absence of a guide with a compatible wavelength.... more>>

“He doesn’t seem like an esper.”

With an appearance too frail and youthful to be an esper, Shin Jeha, an esper with a deathly pale complexion that looks like he could collapse at any moment, begins to fiercely pursue Kwon Yijae after a chance encounter.

“Director. I can endure it. I’ve endured all this time, no matter how much it hurt… You can do whatever you want. I’m an esper… and espers… don’t die.”

To stay with the sadistic guide, Shin Jeha enters into a contract with him.

The frequency and method of guiding are determined based on the guide’s preferences and convenience.

An utterly unjust form of contract. <<less

Lee Shinwoo, a ballet dancer with an exceptional physique but only average in talent.... more>>

One day, he is abruptly notified of a transfer from the old dormitory to the new one.

“Lee Shinwoo. Dance department special student. Right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“I had no idea you would have such a pleasant voice.”

At the new dormitory, he meets Kang Tae-eon, the third son of the Taerok High School owner’s family and a well-known figure on campus who is a role model admired for his looks, grades, and behavior.

“Where are you going?”

His eyes met Kang Tae-eon’s, who seemed to interpret his retreating steps as a feeble attempt at resistance

At that instant, a hand clamped around his throat. A burning sensation erupted across his face.

The sound of flesh being struck echoed in his ears.

In the silence that followed, all that remained were Lee Shinwoo’s muffled sobs.

“Open your eyes.”

“…….”

“You have two options.”

Their relationship, which began with one-sided violence, picks up again eleven years later after a chance encounter...

“Bad memories are usually the first to be forgotten, right?”

“…….”

“Not at all. You haven’t forgotten me.” <<less

Lowell slowly opened his eyes. ... more>>

The first thing he saw was someone’s broad chest.

Still groggy from sleep, he instinctively reached out, his hand grazing the firm surface.

Even in his hazy state, he couldn’t help but give it a few experimental squeezes before his gaze drifted up to the familiar black hair.

He gently stroked it, the way he would with a lover.

‘But there’s no way he’d have a chest like this. Besides, we’ve been broken up for ages.’

As his senses returned, Lowell glanced around, piecing together his surroundings.

Once his vision cleared, the situation began to make sense. <<less

Kim Heewon, an eloquent and quick-witted chief secretary. It’s already been six years since he became the right-hand man of Executive Director Kwon Young-jae, who’s notorious for being extremely difficult to work with. ... more>>

People often ask him how he manages such a grueling job. And every time, Kim Heewon simply answers that turns out, being a secretary was his true calling.

“Do you know how old Secretary Kim is?”

“……”

“You’re telling me a thirty-one-year-old man just presented as an omega? And I’m supposed to believe that?”

But then he did present as an omega. Naturally, Kwon Young-jae, who suffers from a serious omega-related neurosis, was furious.

“Sir, thank you for everything until now.”

“I didn’t know you were this irresponsible.”

“You, more than anyone, should know it’s impossible for us to keep working together.”

Heewon resigned according to proper procedures and fully embraced the sweet life of unemployment. Meanwhile, Kwon Young-jae’s daily life fell apart without Secretary Kim.

Eventually, the proud Executive Director Kwon begins his desperate persuasion. His condition is just one: Come back to work!

“What if—just what if—one of us goes into heat?”

“You think you and I could actually cause that kind of trouble?”

“…We do have a history, you know.”

Can Executive Director Kwon and Secretary Kim really keep things strictly professional? <<less

"Is it that you don’t even want to deal with a bottom-feeder gangster like me?" ... more>>

"…Yes. I don’t like people like you, like Kwon Siheon."

"Let’s not see each other again. I don’t know what I’ll do if we meet next time."

Yoo Yisoo, the high and noble princess of Hyoshin Group. Kwon Siheon, the 'Butcher' of the Shinuehoe, who volunteered to protect her. It seemed like their connection was coming to an end, but...

"This is Yoo Yisoo. I believe you’ll remember."

"It’s been a while."

"Help me. Please. I’ll do anything, anything if it means I can protect my siblings and myself."

"Can you take responsibility for those words? You must know what I want from you, right?"

In an instant, the Hyoshin Group collapses, and even their lives are at risk. Yoo Yisoo seeks out Kwon Siheon as the one person who can protect them.

"Don’t get any funny ideas. Don’t think of running away or betraying me."

"That won’t… That won’t happen."

"Then you’d better behave like a good, obedient dog, right?"

"……."

"From head to toe, your body is completely under my control. Got it?"

Yoo Yisoo takes Kwon Siheon’s hand. As she spends perilous days by his side, devoid of mercy, the moment arrives when she betrays him and breaks their contract…

What will be the outcome of the blind contract made with this cruel yet beautiful man? <<less

Samuhun: Age 32. A snake shifter and an executive at Mirae Capital. Born to a snake shifter mother and an ordinary father, he is a half-shifter.

Kang Garam: Age 21. A squirrel shifter and college student. While his true form is an adorable squirrel, he has a soft and handsome appearance. After losing his parents in an accident at a young age and then losing the grandmother who raised him, he resolves to avoid further separations. Amid this determination, he encounters a man who extends a warm hand.

Kang Garam, a squirrel shifter who lost both his guardian and home in an instant.

While evading loan sharks demanding repayment for a debt he never owed, he hides in a park in his squirrel form. There, he meets a suspiciously handsome man, Samuhun.

Garam finds comfort in Samuhun’s kindness as the man brings him nuts and cranberries daily. Before he knows it, he’s on the path to becoming Samuhun’s pet squirrel.

“Come to think of it… Is our squirrel male?”

“Our squirrel, are you hungry?”

“Are squirrels usually this smart?”

Though Garam feels awkward being treated as a pet by Samuhun, who doesn’t realize he’s a shifter, he finds himself drawn to the man’s sweet gestures. Then one day, Garam discovers that Samuhun, who had been so kind to him, is actually an executive at the loan shark company that has been tormenting him. <<less

Akhtan, a desert country where the brutal history of invasion and massacre lives and breathes. Prince Kyle who had been living in suppression under the long reign of terror of Emperor Khalifa, the Sun God, was suddenly forced into a political marriage.

‘What kind of marriage is this? It’s nothing short of kidnapping… Why me…? What sin did that princess commit to deserve this?’

The princess of Calderaia who appeared at the wedding, held in just a week, was the most beautiful person he had ever seen.

Although her eyes, sparkling like jewels, were filled with inexplicable hostility. <<less

Irina Lehman was the daughter of a poor Baron.... more>>

Her situation changed drastically when a gold mine was discovered on her estate.

The greedy king set a trap coveting the Lehman Baron’s gold and the beautiful Irina.

When Irina was trapped in the tower and fell into despair, a handsome man appeared.

He offered to help Irina out of her predicament, but in exchange, he asked her to bear him a child…

***

“Shall I help you?”

The man asked.

“…Can you?”

It was as if she were grasping at straws.

It didn’t matter how he had entered the heavily guarded tower or who he was.

All that mattered was whether he could help her now or not.

“If I help you, what can you give me?”

“I can give you anything.”

Satisfied with Irina’s desperate reply, the man stretched his lips into a grin.

After a while, his lips parted.

“Even if it’s your child?” <<less

Tonight, once again, he yearned for her purification.... more>>

It had been an unhappy life.

Despite possessing the power of purification, Irene was deemed the lowest rank, never having received anyone’s love or acceptance in her short life. Even in her final moments, she died alone and lonely, yet strangely, she found herself back in the past.

And not just any past but right before meeting her husband, Michael, the man she had ruined.

‘This is the first mistake I must correct in this life. That is…not getting involved with Michael.’

*

However, Michael seems peculiar.

"I... I need you. Please purify me."

He asked for purification first.
A paladin, this holy man, comes to me every night.

"Irene. My pair. My wife. Tonight, I want to be cleansed by you. Long and slow."

You were definitely a paladin in a previous life who wouldn't even lay a finger on me, right? <<less

“You’re engaged to the Duke. It happened four months ago, one month after you fell asleep.”... more>>

After drinking at the ball and falling asleep, Sophia Hilden wakes up five months later and hears something unexpected.

People say that on the night of the ball, she confessed her love to the Duke and even drank poison in his place.

But Sophia doesn’t believe it.

“I don’t believe it. I’m not saying you lied, but it doesn’t make sense. I, at least, know that much.”

“Why?”

“Because I didn’t like the Duke that much.”

However, as the Duke continues to act like a kind fiancé, even the doubtful Sophia slowly begins to open her heart to him...

________________________________________

“You’re not human, are you?”

At Sophia’s confident words, the Duke laughed.

It was a light laugh, as if he had been waiting for her to realize it.

“Oh, dear Sophia. You were the only one I hoped wouldn’t find out.”

The Duke spoke like he was singing and held onto Sophia.

His kiss was like sweet poison. <<less

Fang Qiao signed a secret three-year contract: to be a human inhibitor for Jiang Mingyu, who suffers from Pheromone Disorder Syndrome.... more>>

Young Master Jiang is both attractive and hot-tempered.

"I hate omegas, stay away from me."

"You'd better get lost yourself, don't make me kick you out."

Facing Jiang Mingyu's endless provocations, Fang Qiao never got angry. He always met them with a smiling face, as if nothing could bother him. Jiang Mingyu couldn't help but repeatedly test his limits.

The results quickly became clear: when it came to Jiang Mingyu, Fang Qiao had no limits.

"Yes, I won't refuse anything you do to me."

"But if possible, please don't mark me. Removing a mark is a bit troublesome."

When the agreement was about to expire, Jiang Mingyu felt that renewing the contract and keeping Fang Qiao by his side was also a good idea.

But he didn't expect that there would be an omega in this world with a higher compatibility with him than Fang Qiao.

At the same time, he also learned why Fang Qiao became his human inhibitor.

"The Jiang family cleared my father's case."

"I'm grateful to the Jiang family, and I'm grateful to you, as a member of the Jiang family." <<less

“You used to joke sometimes, didn’t you? That if you became an omega, you’d carry hyung’s baby first.”... more>>

I’ve possessed Hansol, a villain who had already made his exit in the original story. As the second son of a chaebol family, whose every move becomes a hot topic, his social image has already hit rock bottom beyond recovery due to his outrageous behavior. He’s about to be kicked out of his home due to a loveless marriage. His only salvation is his stepbrother, Han Jinheon, who suggests a deal: if Hansol manifests as an omega, he can escape this situation.

Can Hansol trust his brother’s words? <<less

“Our deal mentioned no children.”... more>>

Grand Duke Ricardo Vittore, ruler of the dark night and the icy sword.

Armilla naturally found herself falling in love with the perfect and beautiful man. She was happy when she married him in a contract marriage.

But…….

“I want to have a child who resembles Your Grace. I want to have our child.”

“Looks like I have been too nice to you. Know your place.”

“Is it because I’m not good enough?”

“No one can have my children. If there is even a chance, I will kill it.”

Armilla’s husband was a man colder than the northern snowy winds itself.

When Armilla found out she was pregnant, she had to flee.

To live, to save the child. <<less

Before the original story begins, I reincarnated as a lowly noble burdened with debt. I managed to survive by selling bits of information to an underground guild, but even that has its limits.... more>>

However, as the story is about to start, I know that the villain’s family is looking for a fake contract daughter-in-law to pretend to be pregnant to delay the death declaration of their missing eldest son. If I take on that role for just a few months, I could earn a lot of money.

I was planning to live quietly as a dutiful fake daughter-in-law…

“If you stay here, I’ll give you all of Ekian’s inheritance.”

But the Duke, my father-in-law, likes me too much.

“Why solve everything with money? How about adopting her and remarrying her?”

The Duchess, my mother-in-law, wants to mess up the family registry.

“You did marry my brother, right? You won’t leave if he comes back, right?”

Even my brother-in-law, the villain of the original story, clings to me!

Meanwhile…

“They said after a while, they’ll divorce me and find me a good remarriage prospect personally.”

“…Remarriage? You mean to marry again?”

The head of the information guild, whom I used to sell information to, is acting strangely.

“That husband… he might come back.”

What nonsense is this? According to the original story, the eldest son of the villain’s family remains missing.

***

“E-Ekian? Is that you, Ekian?”

“You… you are back? Really?”

Impossible.

The eldest son of this house is never supposed to return!

“Yes.”

Who is this handsome man confidently walking into the mansion?

“I heard I got married. Where’s my wife?”

What? I suddenly have a super handsome husband! <<less

Christine Hilton, labeled as a devil worshipper, weirdo, and psycho, is avoided by everyone.... more>>

She realizes she's a supporting character destined to die horribly in a B-grade horror movie.

Right before she tries to escape from the campsite...

[You are now entering the Horror Dungeon Gate.]

A system window pops up, and she unexpectedly awakens as a 'Necromancer'!

'What the heck? Wasn't this supposed to be a normal horror movie?!'

Christine accidentally summons a hellish being into the body of Alex Ramey, the football team captain who died trying to save her.

✦✦✦

"Master! ...Master?"

[If a summoned being refers to the summoner by any other title, it will automatically convert to 'Master.']

Hearing Alex call her "Master," her friends' expressions grew increasingly suspicious.

As if the title wasn’t enough to cause misunderstandings—

"Hey, Master. I told you not to leave my side."

With a dangerous glint in his eyes, Alex began to cling to her obsessively. <<less

Karina got straight to the point without any preamble.... more>>

“Please divorce me. That’s why I came.”

A foolish and incompetent husband, Aidan, who was a prince in name only.

Because of such a husband, she was unjustly killed three years after becoming a princess.

And then she regressed to the day right after their wedding.

Being given a second chance, she demanded a divorce without a moment’s hesitation.

But then.

“I’m sorry, but that seems difficult.”

An unexpected reply came. A reply far beyond her expectations.

“Unfortunately, it seems I’ve switched bodies with your husband.”

A thunderbolt from the blue: after finally regressing, her husband had been possessed by someone else!

So what happens to my divorce now?! <<less

In the narrow alleyways of the slums, a hungry young boy struggled with his harsh life.... more>>

"Huh? I've been reincarnated."

The impact of a blow brought back memories of his past life. While excited about being reincarnated into another world, the current situation was far from favorable.

"Do I follow the conventional path and aim for success as an adventurer, or..."

For some reason, the boy decided to rise to power in the other world from the shadows of the underworld.

"Mafia bosses and gang leaders are so cool!"

This is the story of a boy reincarnated into another world, bestowed with a unique ability, as he, along with his companions, dominates the other world from the underworld. <<less

He originally thought that after taking revenge and killing his enemies, he would be able to reunite with his parents in the afterlife.... more>>

But on the way, he happened to run into a foolish goddess who said she wanted him to “experience hell.”

Fine, then—let's go together!

So he dragged this goddess—who had her divine powers sealed due to repeatedly making judgment errors—down into a “hellish” world together.

There, he became a disposable villainess noble lady who originally existed in that world as cannon fodder.

Originally, it should have ended there… <<less

“I didn’t cheat on you with your fiancé; it was fate, do you understand?”... more>>

The heroine eloped with my fiancé.

On the day of our engagement.

After a moment of disbelief, the male lead came to me.

“The lady I picked out for the contract marriage ran off with her friend’s fiancé.”

“Goodness, there’s a lady just like me.”

“So I’m thinking of proposing a contract marriage to that friend.”

The eyes beneath the bushy eyebrows gleamed sharply.

“Will you marry me, milady?”

… It seems to be me.

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

Since my fiancé ran away anyway, there wasn’t much choice; I entered the wedding hall with the male lead.

I agreed to the contract with the intention of running away if necessary.

“I’ll try to make you a precious person to everyone.”

His fingertips, which descended to my earlobe, lightly brushed my tiny earring.

Shivers ran down my spine.

“The earring suits you very well.”

The earring had a purple gem that matched his eye color.

Something seems wrong with this contract marriage after all. <<less

After his struggle against disease for a decade, the main character dies. However, he revives and became younger in a different world.... more>>

The main support of the main character’s heart during his battle against the disease is a TV program about leisure farming.

In his second life in a different world, he’s going to try farming.

Common things like different world transition and domestic affairs?

This will have no big climax.

This is going to be frantic. <<less

It was the worst reunion.... more>>

When she returned to Hae-ju to attend her father’s funeral,

Ji-woo ran into the man she didn’t want to meet the most.

“Mom!”

Even the secret she had kept for five years was revealed.

Han Tae-moo.

She had thought that he would be the only love of her life, but what she heard from his mother was a cold declaration of separation, that their one night together was a minor affair.

When they met again, he proposed marriage, saying that he would take responsibility, but she no longer trusted him.

─────༚❃༚─────

It was a game he would lose anyway.

If she didn’t agree to the marriage, Jeong-hu would be taken away.

Han Tae-moo probably knew that this would eventually happen.

“Let’s get married. But there’s a condition. I don’t want you to expect any obligations as a wife.”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s exactly what it means. A show window couple, that’s the condition of marriage I want.”

─────༚❃༚─────

Tae-moo raised his hand and stroked Ji-woo’s cheek with his thumb.

“What are you trying to do…!”

In an instant, he tilted his head and found her lips.

He lightly l**ked her lips and then let go, and before she could push them away, her lower lip was crushed in his mouth.

He barely parted his lips and grabbed Jiwoo’s chin, locking eyes with hers.

“I had forgotten, but now I remember. You still drive me crazy.” <<less
