After the war, the nation was divided into four sectors: the City, Safe Zone, Administrative Zone, and the Restricted Zone — where your district defines your class.... more>>

Seventeen years ago, an incident dropped Kang Jinha overnight from the highest social tier to the very bottom.

Now, he works as a gang member in the lowest zone and services VVIPs at an elite club.

One day, Yoo Yigeon — Executive Director of Yoo Kang Group, the world’s top defense company and the most powerful figure in the City — shows up in front of him.

Through coercion and persuasion, Yoo Yigeon forces Jinha to take his hand, and together, they begin to dig into the hidden truth behind the tragedy that occurred 17 years ago — a past that entwines them both.

As they pursue the culprit responsible for that long-ago disaster, something unexpected takes root: feelings they never anticipated for each other. <<less

“My dream is to heal in the countryside.”... more>>

He never imagined that a single line he said nine years ago would light the fuse.

Because of the debt left behind by his father, he’s kidnapped by Cha Minhyung—an executive of a mafia-run corporation—and confined to a secluded countryside estate.

Three full meals a day, cozy bedding, overly kind(?) people, and the freedom to do whatever he wants in a luxurious villa…

Shin Haesu, a police officer specializing in excessive suppression, gains the ability to go back 60 minutes.

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

With a pretty face that sharply contrasts with his fiery attitude, he scrapes by at the bottom of life, dodging the gangsters’ constant scheming. All he dreams of is escaping this hellish place with his beloved horse, Clover, while slowly paying off his debts.

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.

Where will the relentless tug-of-war between these two prideful individuals lead? <<less

What can a saintess do in an age where the gods are dead?

Jiang Zhihuo was a poor student at No. 1 High School, growing up on the streets. He was known for being pretentious and relied on his status as an alpha to act daringly all day. He openly pursued the school beauty and hated Yan Mu the most.... more>>

Yan Mu was the top student at No. 1 High School and consistently at the top of various competitions. He was also considered a god-level alpha. He was currently chasing the school beauty and hated Jiang Zhihuo the most.

Jiang Zhihuo and Yan Mu were rivals and sworn enemies. They had different personalities and academic performances; their relationships were like fire and water—always incompatible.

One day, Jiang Zhihuo challenged Yan Mu to a fight in a small alley after school, and Yan Mu gladly accepted the challenge.

Just as he was about to make a move, Jiang Zhihuo suddenly paused.

Within the next second, an incredibly sweet fragrance swept through the entire alley—

As an alpha, Jiang Zhihuo unexpectedly went through a second differentiation without any warning! He actually turned into an omga right in front of his rival!!

Jiang Zhihuo: ……

Due to the second differentiation, Jiang Zhihuo’s gland was extremely erratic, resulting in his physical condition being unstable. He constantly needed alpha’s pheromones, but only Yan Mu’s pheromones could calm him down.

Therefore, whenever his body became unstable, Jiang Zhihuo would pull Yan Mu out of the classroom, releasing a sweet fragrance, and confront the other party aggressively.

“From now on, you can only be my alpha.”

Yan Mu: ……

*

Yan Mu had suffered from tactile defensiveness disorder, unable to touch others since childhood. He had a strong sense of rejection and disgust toward physical contact, including the pheromones.

Except for Jiang Zhihuo.

When surrounded by those sweet fragrances, his mind went blank.

Insane, Yan Mu thought.

Graually, he realized that he didn’t want Jiang Zhihuo to be in contact with anyone. He wanted to imprint his pheromones on him, so everyone would know that he was his omega.

— Totally insane.

As a result, when Yan Mu found out that Jiang Zhihuo planned to give birthday gifts to others, extreme jealousy surged in his heart. He grabbed the other person by the collar as his eyes darkened and his voice became hoarse.

“I’ll let you have my pheromones, but you’re not allowed to go.” <<less

"I'm planning to file a paternity lawsuit."... more>>

The client who appeared before family law attorney Mael, Yves Valois.

An arrogant and rude billionaire, exuding the typical ennui of the wealthy.

"Why did you specifically request me?"

"Because I thought you'd be suitable. Professionally and personally."

A man who proposes a fake relationship, dangling rewards like the whispers of a devil.

His cold eyes held nothing within.

Mael didn’t want to get entangled with this man in any way.

However.

"Brother, I... I think I killed... Philippe."

To protect her younger sister, Mael takes Yves’ hand.

A fall always happens in an instant.

"What do I need to do? Be the lover you mentioned before?"

"That chance has passed. Now, you’ll have to become my family."

Marriage.

A pile of lies built on a foundation completely devoid of affection.

"The term is until the paternity lawsuit is over and I get acknowledged. Two years."

The result of all of that was this marriage.

Whether it was fortune or misfortune, no one could know.

"Ennui" is a French word adopted into English, meaning a feeling of listlessness, boredom, or dissatisfaction that comes from a lack of excitement or purpose. It's often associated with a sense of weary indifference, especially among those who are wealthy or privileged and lack meaningful challenges in life. <<less

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

A week ago, she spent a passionate night with a man in this hotel suite. Though she thought it would be just a one-night encounter…

Why is that man sitting at the next table during her arranged marriage meeting?

“Let’s get married. It’ll be the best choice for both of us.”

Unfamiliar without friends or family, she chose to take shelter in an empty coffin home to avoid the winter. Wu Wei decides to wait til the start of spring next year in order to find a way to return to the present time.

Yu Zhi-wu returned to the past to prevent the end of the world.... more>>

He went to America to destroy the strongest and most dangerous calamity of the future while it was still dormant.

Trying to get rid of the pharaoh before his awakening, Zhi-wu became the object of pursuit by mysterious malefactors, as a result of which he accidentally awakened the catastrophe itself…

“You… what have you done to me?”

At the moment when the pharaoh seemed about to kill him, Yu Zhi Wu’s relaxed and arrogant face changed, revealing obvious concern.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but keep being afraid until you die.”

Yu Zhi-wu no longer understood what was happening – he lost consciousness, and when he came to, before him stood a black-haired man who was trying to protect him, and the pharaoh.

“My lord awakened the sleeping me with blood and took possession of my soul. Moreover, I am not the only one whose soul is sealed on My lord.”

The man, who introduced himself as Martin, called Zhi-wu his lord and informed that he and the pharaoh were Zhi-wu’s subordinates.

“Subordinates?”

“Yes. Now You rule over us.”

Zhi-wu’s heart beat faster with excitement. Before him was definitely the pharaoh, that very bastard, and it was too dangerous to leave him alive even now, but… one couldn’t deny that he was also the strongest. Then..?

“If I can control him…”

If I can fully control him…

If he could control him perfectly. <<less

Upon their first meeting, Huo ZhenYe knew that Bai Zhun had a bad temper, a delicate body, and an extremely picky palate.

A person who disliked to interact with the living, he had crafted a whole house full of paper dolls to amuse himself.

Bad-tempered? He can coax him.

A delicate body? He can take care of him.

A picky palate? He can get used to it.

The whole house full of paper dolls can also continue to stay, but he, the Seventh Young Master Huo, needs to be added into the picture.

“Did you sleep well?”

It was an impulsive one-night stand. I thought it could be anyone, but I never expected it to be the detective who would later be in charge of my case. The same man who had been rough and relentless the night before, even when I begged and pleaded for mercy.

Inspector Kwon Jeongbaek, whose demeanor was far too fierce to pass as an ordinary civil servant.

“Our sequence of events might be a little mixed up. But we have a lot to talk about. Let’s have a conversation, Witness Jeong Irim.”

The smile he gave as he said that was truly remarkable.

My biggest mistake wasn’t getting drunk. It wasn’t even having a one-night stand. The real problem was him — that man, a demon of the night. Someone so beautiful yet so tragic, he would become the most painful part of my heart.

And Jeongbaek probably had no idea either.

That by meeting me, he’d end up tossing aside the lifelong obsession he’d clung to so desperately — without mercy, without hesitation.

Male Lead:

Kwon Jeongbaek (33) – Inspector with the Violent Crimes Division 2 of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency. A cold, indifferent, and well-trained man, like a black steed of muted colors. A strikingly handsome man who lacks certain elements of humanity necessary to live harmoniously in society.

Female Lead:

Jeong Irim (30) – Pediatric ICU doctor at a university hospital. A beauty, serene like an ink wash painting. She has lived her life expecting nothing, and being honest takes considerable effort for her. After meeting the provocative and intense Jeongbaek by chance, she finds herself constantly swayed by him.
