He was like an ominous Plumeria, indifferent and cruel, yet lonelier than anyone.

She, on the other hand, was like a cherry blossom in spring—finding joy in watching over him even in death.

Because of a cursed bloodline, they once lost each other. It was unwillingness—unwillingness to be torn apart by fate before they even had the chance to love. So, he vowed to bring her back to life. If not as a human, then as a spirit—just so she could watch the sunrise with him every day.

Heaven, you must know—this betrayal is one you forced upon me. <<less

Our protagonist Chan was looking for a part-time job, after his previously joined company went bankrupt. ... more>>

Coincidentally enough, while doing so, he came across a job advertisement, offering an absurdly high salary.

Lured by the extremely high salary and hourly wages Chan decided to join the convenience store as a clerk and work there.

However, the customers who visited the shop seemed a bit strange.

After the daughter of the former mistress of the Jing'an Marquis's residence, Wen Zhuojin, fell from grace and lost all support after her uncle's family declined, the engagement with the heir of the Rongguo Duke's residence was snatched away by her stepsister.... more>>

After the broken engagement, rumors spread that Wen Zhuojin, who was said to be in mourning at home, disguised herself and went to a brothel in the western market of Yun Jing City. There, she bought the freedom of a young courtesan, taking her in and treating her like a precious jewel at a house she had prepared for her outside.

The world believed that the engagement had been stolen from Wen Zhuojin, but in fact, it was a marriage she had long wanted to cancel.

This was because Wen Zhuojin did not like men; she loved women, especially beautiful, mature women older than herself.

The beautiful woman she brought home perfectly met her criteria.

To support her lover, Wen Zhuojin worked hard in business, spending more on her lover’s clothes and living expenses than the courtiers in the palace.

However, Wen Zhuojin could not openly give her lover a formal title, which made her feel guilty toward her.

When she entered the palace to meet with the nobility, hoping to spend a fortune to secure a title for her beloved, Wen Zhuojin came face to face with the current Princess Royal.

The Princess Royal wore a hibiscus crown and a black and blue ceremonial robe, holding a dust whisk. Her demeanor was as cold as a snow-capped mountain, exuding aloof elegance and an unworldly air.

It was said that at the age of fifteen, the Princess Royal had helped her younger brother ascend the throne, quelled rebellions, subdued neighboring nations, and ruled decisively. She wielded unparalleled power and commanded universal reverence.

She was also the woman Wen Zhuojin feared most.

While everyone else knelt in respect, Wen Zhuojin stood frozen, trembling, staring in shock at the Princess.

Who could tell her why the Princess looked exactly like her delicate and helpless lover sister?!

***

At the age of twenty, Princess Royal Yan Qinglan took her vows as a Taoist nun, swearing never to marry. She never expected that, at twenty-six, she would be poisoned, lose her sight, and be sweetly coaxed by a soft-voiced girl who brought her home.

At that time, Yan Qinglan was trapped in a predicament. When she approached the girl, she noticed that the girl’s faint fragrance eased the pain of her poison flare-ups. She decided to follow the girl home to see what she was up to.

The girl indeed had intentions for Yan Qinglan—but not the kind Yan Qinglan imagined.

Exquisite meals, fine clothes, and extravagant luxury surrounded her. Within days, Princess Yan Qinglan was pampered, becoming even softer and more delicate, her beauty becoming truly unmatched.

And all the girl asked for in return was—

"Sister, kiss me."

"Sister, hug me."

"Sister, cuddle me."

The sweet voice, with a tone of coquettishness, whispered and enticed her every day.

Slowly, Princess Yan Qinglan began to yearn for it. Even after her sight was restored, she continued to be the girl's "concubine" while stirring up the political scene, vying for power and influence.

***

Wen Zhuojin, upon realizing that Princess Yan Qinglan and her beautiful sister were the same person, packed her things and fled overnight. But before she could leave the city gates, she was surrounded by the Imperial Guard.

Looking at the woman she once teased to tears and coaxed into embarrassing acts, now brimming with mu*derous intent, Wen Zhuojin was petrified.

“Ah Zhuo, if you leave, who will be my Empress?”

Just as Wen Zhuojin thought her life was over, Yan Qinglan suddenly embraced her and whispered in her ear— <<less

I transmigrated into a book.... more>>

I got turned into the lowest succubus in the Holy Light Continent.

My system told me that my task was to put the boss of this world back on track – the Holy Son in the Holy Light Continent was supposed to have fallen into a demon after being exposed to the darkness of human nature, and became the target of the protagonist’s crusade in the future.

However, the time of the fall has passed, and the Son remains pure and flawless.

My job is to be the snake in the Garden of Eden, to seduce him into falling.

I tried my best to sneak to the Holy Son and guide Him to see the living hell and the various colors of the world.

Finally, I had to admit decadently: This guy is indeed a pure-blooded Holy Father who is dedicated to good. I even wondered if the system had made a mistake.

In desperation, I gave up my dignity as a straight man, took on the role of a succubus, and appeared on his bed with my clothes half-covered.

The Holy Son put on my robe and said warmly: “My good friend, be careful of catching cold.”

Me: …My good friend, damn it!

When I returned to my room and was taking a shower and worrying, I saw the Holy Son appear in my room with scarlet eyes, an evil smile, dark wings spread out, and he lifted my chin with his index finger.

I was ecstatic and did it.

After finishing, I heard the gentle and familiar voice of the Holy Son coming from outside the door: “Good friend, why don’t you close the door?”

Me: ? ? ?

Reborn as the young lady Celitia, she discovers that without her, everything indeed fell into chaos.

They cried and begged for her to return, but Celitia made it clear: they could play their games without her involvement.

Whoever wanted to be the savior could be the savior; she wouldn't be doing it anymore.

Starting off disliked by everyone, Celitia only wanted to slack off and live her days in peace.

However, things still wouldn't leave her alone.

Even though she put on a cold face and kept people thousands of miles away,

Her actions were misinterpreted as goodwill expressed poorly, causing person after person to become attached to her.

The tsundere Princess: "I permit you to stay by my side!"

The violent Saintess who was her old rival for years: "I only want the current you."

The yandere Administrator sister: "I can finally have you now."

Reincarnation, the soul cycles on.... more>>

I, who died of illness in solitude, was reborn into modern-day Japan—a world plagued by a curse known as "Shin," monstrous beings that devour humans.

Born into the Byakko family, one of the Twelve Celestial Houses that have been fighting these Shin since the Heian era, I was given the name Byakko Yakko.

Though bewildered at first, I grew up surrounded by my parents' boundless love and affection. Yet, the Shin sought to take the lives of those precious to me.

That was something I could never allow. And I had no intention of becoming their prey, either.

If so, there was only one path for me—to become the strongest!

Through relentless training from the moment I was reborn as a reincarnator, I was eventually recognized as the strongest magician in Japan. Not only that, but I also mastered the lost Shiden Magic, a legendary technique hailed in ancient times as the fastest and strongest.

Before I knew it, I had surpassed even the Five Great Noble Houses that ruled the world, becoming the most powerful magician alive.

And then came the noble ladies of those houses—beautiful, graceful, and persistent—vying to marry me and bear my children.

This is the story of how I became the world's strongest magician. And how I ended up surrounded by noble beauties eager to start a family with me. <<less

Christine was an elite member of a guild who had excellent commissioning skills, but she couldn’t break the curse that caused abnormalities in her body. She suffered her whole life and was only exploited by the guild she worked for.... more>>

She infiltrated the Black Fang Guild, which was said to be full of people who inherited the blood of beasts, to retrieve the jewels that would relieve the pain caused by the curse, but she lost her life when the internal injuries she had suffered went beyond her limit.

But what was happening?

When she opened her eyes, she had returned to a time when she was relatively healthy.

In addition, the pain caused by the curse had surely subsided the moment she touched the gorgeous man who held her when she fell.

‘I might be able to break my curse if I approach that man.’

Christine deliberately approached him to find a clue to lift her curse, and succeeded in seducing him.

“I said I wouldn't hurt you, but you're not cooperating.”

“Ah…”

However… She had no idea that the man she spent the night with was the hidden power of the Black Fang Guild.

High Tower’s little young master, Lance, is a black lotus—calculating and ruthless beneath a harmless, sickly exterior.

Ghost Eye’s eldest young master, Zhan Pingchuan, is a classic “white cut black”—outwardly lazy and nonchalant, inwardly sharp and unfathomable.

Both conceal their identities to enroll in Star University, only to be assigned as roommates. Their pheromone compatibility? 100%. They share a kiss on day one.

Lance’s father: “Use your break to go undercover next door. Know your enemy, know yourself, and you’ll never lose.”

Zhan’s father: “Hide your identity, head across the hall, and get the lay of the land.”

After a night of tasting the marrow and knowing the flavor, Zhan Pingchuan strokes Lance’s delicate back and messages HR: “My wife, Lance, comes from a humble background and is frail. Take care of him, don’t let him suffer.”

The next morning, Lance tucks Zhan Pingchuan in and calls his sister: “My boyfriend, Zhan Pingchuan, is strong but sloppy. Give him a top salary so he has money to date me.”

Soon, the two great guilds are set to negotiate. Rumor has it, the heirs will attend.

Hundreds of media outlets wait with bated breath.

On the fateful day, the two heirs meet at the negotiation table. Tension crackles, war is about to erupt.

After a long silence, Lance moves.

Face icy, about to sit, when Zhan Pingchuan suddenly commands, “Don’t move!”

Zhan’s father: My son has a powerful aura!

Zhan Pingchuan strides over, unbuttons his bespoke suit worth over 100,000 credits, and tosses it—under Lance’s chair.

Zhan Pingchuan: “You’re just going to sit on such a hard chair without checking?”

Lance: “……”
