Since losing her parents at a young age, Lu Shujin was raised in her aunt’s home. By the time she turned sixteen, her aunt had arranged a marriage for her—one that came with a lucrative dowry.... more>>

The night before the wedding, Lu Shujin packed up and ran away.

After arriving in the bustling city of Yuncheng, she heard that the prestigious Haizhou Academy was offering free enrollment, with food and lodging included. To escape her aunt’s pursuit, Lu Shujin disguised herself as a boy and took the entrance exam. She passed and was accepted into the academy.

On her first day of school, while buying steamed buns by the roadside, she overheard several Haizhou Academy students gossiping about the young master of the Xiao family. Every word was unpleasant. Not wanting trouble, Lu Shujin was about to leave when a bun hit the back of her head.

She turned around and saw, ten steps away, a richly dressed young man standing in the morning sunlight. His handsome face was filled with arrogance:

“Who’s badmouthing this young master?”

Lu Shujin touched the back of her head, her heart skipping a beat.

⸻

Xiao Jin, the young master of the Xiao family, was a legendary figure in Yuncheng—of noble birth but rebellious in nature.

The first time he saw Lu Shujin, he thought:

“This weak little guy… one punch and he’d cry for three days.”

Seeing that Lu Shujin was timid and easy to bully, Xiao Jin took her under his wing as a lackey. He gave her small errands to run, and she obediently did them. Even the homework assigned by the teacher was thrown to her without her daring to protest.

Until one day, Xiao Jin personally saw her soaking two sheets of paper by the pond. When they arrived at school, she handed him the smeared, blurry homework and said,

“It rained. It got wet.”

Xiao Jin laughed:

“Are you asking for a beating?”

Later, when Lu Shujin actually cried in front of him, Xiao Jin—his eyes full of repressed emotions—gently wiped her tears and murmured helplessly:

“Lu Shujin, if only you were a girl.” <<less

When Song Caitang woke up, she found herself in a coffin home surrounded by dead bodies.... more>>

A young maid squatted next to her, crying so hard that she was hiccupping. She complained that the local undertaker, the Wu family, was shameless for kidnapping Song Caitang for the sake of their idiot son, and even used their good relationship with the coffin home to trap both Song Caitang and her maid inside. If Song Caitang didn’t agree to the marriage, she would not be allowed to leave!

Out of habit from her occupation in her previous life, Song Caitang began to inspect the dead bodies.

“What a pity.”

“Exactly! Young Mistress is still young and the doctor said you’d definitely recover, so it’s not like you can’t get married in the future to someone better. Why should you suffer for the rest of your life from marrying an idiot!”

“I’m referring to the dead bodies here.”

Her respectful father said to the mu*derer: Don’t take it to your heart, this is not your fault.

Her kindness-loving mother said to the mu*derer: Don’t worry, I still got you, you’re much better than my real daughter.

Her lovely brother said to the mu*derer: Tsk, this kind of woman should have just die earlier, her existence embarrasses me.

Her beloved man said to the mu*derer: You’re the only one I loved from the start.

The mu*derer was moved to tears, as if she was the only pure white lotus that remains in this world; nobody notices her vicious and scarcely there smile.

She’ll definitely make that person who stole everything from her to experience the deepest agony in her soul.

Before he was in love with her, he calmly said: “I can sense the smell of crime on her.”

After he was in love with her, his face was cold but his heart was warm: “I can sense the smell that turns me into a crime on her.”

She said: “Can I keep your corpse into my collection when you die?”

He said: “Are you going to r*pe me day and night?”

She said: “I just want to make you into a mummy.”

He said: “I didn’t know you were so hardcore, using this kind of method to make me stay by your side forever.” <<less

“How bad must your life be to like someone like me?”... more>>

“I’ll admit, you’ve got a point.”

“Man, you really know how to mess with someone, huh?”

Ji Youngwon, who runs an illegal errand service, encounters a peculiar client, Yoo Han.

“Uh, would it be okay if I pay… after the job is done?”

Yoo Han, a strange client claiming to have been swindled of all his money by an ex-lover, has no funds to offer upfront. Youngwon, though annoyed and amused by Yoo Han’s antics, decides to accept his proposal for the sake of a larger plan.

“If you’re eating and sleeping in my office, you’d better at least earn your keep.”

Youngwon uses Yoo Han’s unassuming and innocent appearance as bait to tackle troublesome jobs one by one.

Meanwhile, Yoo Han, who has never known the protection of an older man, finds himself hopelessly drawn to Youngwon. This love, though painful and seemingly out of reach, begins to bloom despite the odds. Just as always, Yoo Han has no choice but to love as though he’s never been hurt before.

---

“You came here with no money, wasting my time and coffee. So stop making that pathetic, wounded face and fix your expression.”

While Yoo Han had no retort, calling his hurt expression pathetic was harsh. He lowered his head, biting his lip. The job was already out of reach, and there was no reason to stay and endure more insults.

As Yoo Han reached for the door, Youngwon’s voice stopped him again.

“And do you think the guy who stole your money would’ve kept it intact? Saved it in a bank or something? Is that what you’re thinking?”

Caught off guard, Yoo Han slowly raised his head.

“The 5 million won you lost to Kim Minjae, or whatever his name is, is probably gone. Thinking of paying upfront with stolen money? That’s the kind of s*upidity only fools dream of.”

Even though Youngwon was stating facts, it felt like his dignity was being crushed entirely. Yoo Han’s wavering eyes met Youngwon’s piercing gaze. He could only take so much before snapping.

“If you’re not going to take the job, then stop lecturing me! I’ve heard enough already!” Youngwon smirked as if he’d heard an amusing joke.

“Who said I wouldn’t take the job?”

This guy had a talent for toying with people. Yoo Han, now fuming, turned completely toward Youngwon, their chests nearly touching.

“You did! You told me to leave earlier, didn’t you?!”

“I did. But I changed my mind.”

“And! Wait, what?” Yoo Han’s anger dissolved into confusion, his eyes widening.

“I don’t need a fee for this job. Just take this.”

One of Youngwon’s subordinates handed Yoo Han a pen and a piece of paper. Holding the contract in disbelief, Yoo Han looked back at Youngwon.

“You’re not taking a fee? Why would you take my case, boss?”

“Because I’ll collect something else.”

Yoo Han tilted his head, puzzled. “What is it?”

“Bell runner.”

“Bell runner? Seriously? Uh… how long do I have to keep doing this 'bell runner' thing?”

Youngwon flicked Yoo Han’s forehead lightly with his finger, as if the question was absurd.

“Until your job is done.” <<less

The transfer student, who was said to have been born to a mother working in a diner and a father whose identity was unknown, had a physique that unmistakably marked him as a dominant alpha.

“An anomaly, huh.”

Jaemin, who had spent his entire life pretending to be an alpha to survive, disliked Seol Daeyeong from the start.

“Or should I say a defective type?”

“Sorry, are you talking to me right now?”

Seol Daeyeong’s gaze, fixed intently on Jaemin, was the first intense alpha stare Jaemin had experienced since realizing he was an omega.

“Not an anomaly, not a defective type. Seol Daeyeong.”

Instead of the scent of an alpha, he smelled like cheap fabric softener. The hand Jaemin refused to shake did not withdraw but landed on his shoulder with a pat.

“Nice to meet you, Jang Jaemin.”

Chi Ning was a low-level Omega who was despised throughout the Federation, with pheromones so weak they were almost non-existent.... more>>

In the Chi family, the person is delicate, weak, worthless, and a small existence in their eyes.

Just when Chi Ning thought that he would be single for the rest of his life, the youngest general of the Federation proposed marriage to Chi’s family.

On the first night of their marriage, this pheromone top Alpha didn’t come home.

Chi Ning: Sure enough, I was disliked.

Chi Ning was depressed, thinking about how to maintain the relationship between husband and wife.

But when he woke up, he discovered that the top Alpha was being carried in. His handsome face was as pale as paper. When he looked at him, his fingertips trembled in fear, and he threw himself on him and cried.

Chu Shaochen: “…Don’t cry.”

Chi Ning’s beautiful eyes were watery: “Don’t die, I don’t want to be a widow.”

The beautiful Omega personally cared for the injured Alpha, even blowing on the medicine before it reached his mouth, and his eyes were as red as a rabbit’s every day.

The deputy general came to report to work every two days and was forced to stuff a mouthful of dog food.

“When I was injured, he was so worried that he couldn’t sleep well all night.”

“He’s still young, so I have to spend more time with him.”

Deputy General: Whoever wants to switch with me to do this reporting job, I would really appreciate it.

Chi Ning hid under the quilt, turned on the little rabbit light, and eagerly flipped through the novel. He’s been reading this series for a week. This series is extremely powerful. The low-level Omega changed his life against the odds. But then the quilt suddenly lifted. Chi Ning was startled, and the book flew out into Chu Shaochen’s hands.

Chu Shaochen raised his eyebrows: “How to conquer an abstinent Alpha?”

Chi Ning: “…”

Chi Ning pulled down the collar of his pajamas, “Hu, husband, my neck is itching. Could you look at it for me?” <<less

Caught up in a race-fixing scandal, Seon Ijin, a jockey, is pushed into an illegal racetrack operation.... more>>

One day, rumors spread that a new manager named Kwon Hyeongdo is taking over the racetrack.

Ijin scoffs at the thought, dismissing it as unrelated to him—after all, a gangster is just a gangster.

“You must’ve had it pretty easy so far. Haven’t met anyone who’d beat you to a pulp even after you passed out, huh? Isn’t that right, Ijin?”

However, Ijin’s killer looks, alluring physique, and unpredictable boldness catch Kwon Hyeongdo’s eye.

Dressed in a flashy Hawaiian shirt and sporting a tongue piercing, Hyeongdo looks every bit like a sleazy player. But the rumors surrounding him are anything but trivial. One moment, he’s joking around, and the next, he turns utterly ruthless.

“I know it’s sudden, but damn, you’re really hot.”

“Shut up. You’re already making my life worse.”

“Hey, how old do you think I am for you to talk down to me like that? No respect at all, huh, you little—”

Unpredictable and disruptive, Kwon Hyeongdo barges into Ijin’s life like an unexpected obstacle in a race. His very presence rattles Ijin’s already frayed nerves. But Ijin isn’t the only one getting worked up.

Whether they’re close or apart, they can’t stop thinking about each other.

“Why are you acting so smug? Just because we hooked up, you think we’re some lovey-dovey couple now?”

“Hngh….”

“The way you call me ‘babe’ really makes me feel like one.”

With nowhere to retreat, Seon Ijin finds himself relentlessly pursued by the persistent Kwon Hyeongdo.
