Rei understood this best when her family fell from glory straight into the gutter. She understood her value better, when she was chased out of her own house- she was nothing. At the moment she was about to crumble, she looked at her older brother standing by her.

She was not alone. Not all was lost…

In the hopes of rekindling an old connection and start afresh, the path the siblings took led them to a quiet countryside.

A resplendent castle covered in beautiful red roses… so majestic… so sinister…

It also looked like… a lonely abode shrouded in desolation?

And there, she met someone; it seems he was…

… a beast. <<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

That’s the brutal marketplace Zhang Yu wakes up to after his soul is shoved into the body of a penniless high-schooler—one already drowning in soul-devouring debt. With only thirty days before the collectors start carving repayments from his flesh, Zhang Yu must monetize every heartbeat just to stay alive. He livestreams back-alley ­sparring matches, peddles black-market talismans between classes, and negotiates mid-fight sponsorship deals to afford tomorrow’s cultivation pills.

Yet the higher he claws—from broke freshman to headline-making “High-School Saint”—the more he uncovers the engines grinding his classmates into golden dust: predatory fintech sects, exam-hall death matches, and an influencer economy that feeds on shattered dreams.

No Money to Cultivate Immortality? fuses shōnen-style tournament heat with razor-sharp social satire. It lampoons student-loan anxiety, hustle culture, and pay-to-win gaming—only here the DLC is literal longevity. If you’ve ever felt the squeeze of tuition bills or the rush of a last-second power-up, Zhang Yu’s frantic hustle through monetized immortality will feel all too hilariously—and terrifyingly—familiar. <<less

Knives as proof, words as evidence.... more>>

When the prophecy comes true, it’s time to collect payment.**

This is the way of the “Knife-Barterer” in the mystical world.

Tu Shanjiu, the 283rd generation of knife-barterers, possessed a metaphysical talent far surpassing anyone else in her family. Her divinations were frighteningly accurate, and she could communicate with spirits and deities.

Unfortunately, due to a curse the Tu Shan family laid upon themselves a hundred years ago, she wouldn’t live long.

Since childhood, she knew she had a fiancé—a destined partner arranged by her grandfather.

Only by marrying him could she be truly safe.

Before passing away, her grandfather repeatedly reminded her to go down the mountain to the Xie family.

It was time to collect the debt owed by her fiancé’s family.

—

*It was said that the richest family in Nancheng—the Xie family—had a young master named Xie Shiyu, who had been engaged since childhood. His fiancée was said to be some country bumpkin living in a remote mountain village.*

No one could understand why old Master Xie had arranged such a mismatched engagement for his eldest grandson.

But later, when they met her in person—so gentle and quiet, graceful in speech and behavior, with impeccable manners—everyone realized that rumors could not be trusted.

Especially when later on, powerful figures from every industry respectfully addressed her as “Miss Tu Shan,”

Everyone was completely shocked.

Someone once curiously asked them why they were so respectful toward her.

The big shots replied: “Because she’s our creditor!”

—

Tu Shanjiu had always been forgetful since she was a child. She would often forget to collect debts.

After getting married, she simply handed the ledger over to her husband Xie Shiyu and asked him to remind her to collect.

Looking at the thick stack of account books left on his desk, Xie Shiyu fell silent on the spot

In the world of mysticism, there exists a mysterious job called “賒刀人”—literally “Knife-Barterer.” These people lend services (like fortune-telling, protection, or supernatural help) in exchange for a future debt, which they later come to collect once the prophecy comes true. <<less

Jeong Yiwon was living his life running a guesthouse at Hae-un-dang, an old traditional house overlooking the sea.... more>>

Just as he was on the verge of selling it off for less than its worth, with his father’s debt tied to Hae-un-dang, he meets a man named Cha Seokju who comes to the house.

“Are you alone?”

“…Excuse me?”

“This guesthouse, I mean. I asked if you’re running the business by yourself.”

At first, he thought it was just a passing encounter,

“It’s hot. Got anything to drink?”

“There’s water.”

“I thought this was a guesthouse. You don’t sell coffee?”

“I don’t.”

“Give me water, then.”

And next, he thought the man would be a guest who would stay for a short while and leave. Until the man made a tempting offer.

“Give me a room.”

“……”

“Why the silence? Did you go out of business in the last few seconds?”

“…No.”

“Then take a customer.”

Yiwon, who was desperate for every penny, starts to show interest in the man’s offer.

“How many days will you be staying?”

“How would I know that?”

“I can only give you a room if you tell me a rough estimate.”

“Then let’s just say about a month.”

“Huh?”

“You don’t know what a month is? 30 days.”

In the end, he lets him into Hae-un-dang… <<less

With a low mocking tone, the croquis book fell to the floor. His intense eyes bore into the woman in front of him. Her slender face turned pale like a blank canvas, then flushed red again.

"What do you mean…"

"Ms. Song Seorin, you don't have the money to pay off your debt, right?"

Unlike the frozen Seorin, Taejeong slowly examined her trembling face.

His pale-colored eyes flickered like a candle in the wind. His slightly pouted lips, which could easily be gripped with one hand, and his chin both vibrated incessantly.

“So let’s do this, then.”

Taejeong, who had let out a brief laugh at the absurdity, lifted the bottle again. Even as he poured into the glass, his cynical gaze never left Song Seorin.

“Until the debt’s all paid off, either your legs day and night in front of pig bstards old enough to be your father—”

This time, her neat front teeth bit down on her lower lip. She looked as if, with the slightest touch, she would burst into tears like a balloon pricked by a needle. He found her peach-tinted face oddly pleasing.

A large hand, knuckles thick with bone, picked up the glass. Taejeong pressed the cold glass to his straight lips and parted them slightly. The cruelty he had hidden behind his ridge-like smile surged along the prominent line of his Adam’s apple.

“Or crawl under me.”

He wanted to leave his footprints on the woman as pure as newly fallen snow. <<less

She was a secret guard, codenamed 37, later named Qingge by Ning Wang.... more>>

One day, she narrowly escaped death and was sent out to recover from her injuries. On the way, someone approached her, claiming she resembled the young lady he served. The young lady was suffering from a chronic illness, and he asked her to take her place in the wedding, hiding the truth from the groom for five months. The man offered her a generous sum of silver notes, and Qingge, being greedy, accepted.

But what she never expected was that the fiancée’s groom turned out to be none other than her master, Ning Wang…

Fortunately, no one knew the face of the secret guards, except for Heaven, Earth, and their Pavilion Master. Ning Wang had no idea. Qingge successfully hid her identity and cautiously played the role of a Wangfei.

Ning Wang was extraordinarily handsome but had a violent temper. One day, while investigating a traitor, he harshly interrogated all the secret guards. One of them ended up being punished for a trivial matter, receiving a hundred whip lashes, leaving the ground stained with blood. Ning Wang remained indifferent.

The Emperor arranged a marriage for Ning Wang with the legitimate daughter of the presitigious Xiahou clan of Ganliang. The Wangfei was gentle, charming, and pure in nature. Initially, Ning Wang was indifferent and cautious but eventually fell for her.

After ten months of pregnancy, the Wangfei gave birth to a son. When she returned after a visit to her natal family, Ning Wang gripped her by the throat and coldly demanded, “Where is this prince’s Wangfei?”

Though the woman before him looked alike, she was not her.

It was then that he realized the Wangfei he had shared his life with was a fake, brought in by the Xiahou family with money!

In his fury, Ning Wang unleashed a bloodbath.

Afterward, he searched everywhere for that woman, but despite turning the world upside down, he could not find her.

Three years passed, and Ning Wang’s initial rage and hatred turned into silence and contemplation, eventually giving way to quiet coldness.

Until one day, under the dim light of the waning moon, he gazed at the fallen phoenix tree leaves at his feet, covering the elongated shadow of the secret guard behind him.

In a low voice, he asked, “It’s you, isn’t it?” <<less

While lying in a rooftop room with cold wind seeping in, wishing for death, So-hee was visited by a mysterious man.

"Aren’t you thankful for not being dead?"

All I wanted was to pay off the debt and become a rich, lazy bum. But then—

Why is the contract dad acting like this?

“I like Eve. I’m happy when I’m with Eve. Leon wants to live with Eve forever.”

“I promised Grandpa I’d protect you forever.”

Why are the siblings I’m not even blood-related to saying stuff like this?

“You were mine from the very beginning.”

“I tried everything to get it all back. Possession, reincarnation, necromancy, whatever it took to bring you back.”

Why are all these past-life ties tangled up around me like this?!

I just want to take back what’s mine and live in luxury like a rich, carefree slacker!

[Watching the fun without feeling bored bottom x seemingly cold CEO, but actually loves to eat melons top] ... more>>

Wage worker An Xia dies suddenly due to working overtime all night, and when he opens his eyes again, he is transmigrated into a bloody and abusive love ABO Mary Sue novel, and becomes the assistant of the biggest villain CEO in the book, Fu Qingchen.

The villain CEO is young and promising, rich and handsome, but because he cannot get the love of the protagonist, he resorts to extreme measures, and is ultimately sent to prison by the protagonist bottom.

An Xia sighs at this— how did he become this top love-brain’s employee🙂

After all, everyone knows that it is not easy to be an assistant to the chairman, and it is even more difficult to be an assistant in a Mary Sue novel.

He was originally a miserable wage earner in his previous life, and he never expected that he’d still be a wage earner even after transmigrating!

An Xia had a smile on his face, but cursed inwardly: [No real person would arrange a task like finding out someone’s ancestry within three minutes, no way, no way. People who force others to do things will have no toilet paper when they go to the restroom in the future, hehe.]

Fu Qingchen, who was about to ask An Xia to find out all the background information of the protagonist bottom, suddenly paused, and his original words were swallowed back: “…Assistant An, please make me a cup of coffee.”

An Xia, who had been sitting for a long time and had a sore back, immediately agreed: “Okay!”

*

It is said that Fu Qingchen, the CEO of Fu Group, is at the top of Haicheng’s diamond bachelor list. According to informal statistics, the number of people chasing him could circle around Haicheng five times.

At a banquet, Fu Qingchen was taking a c*cktail from the protagonist bottom, and An Xia, who was standing next to him, had bright eyes—

[Ah! The protagonist added a lot of ingredients to this glass of wine, and they are all imported goods! Is the Chairman finally going to be taken down tonight!]

Fu Qingchen’s hand holding the glass trembled slightly, and he turns his head and stuffed the glass of wine back into the hands of the protagonist bottom.

*

On a sunny afternoon, Fu Qingchen was just about to play a round of golf to relax, but An Xia’s eyes lit up again—

[Eh! Fu Qingchen must have broken both hands in today’s golf game, which caused his ability to take care of himself to plummet. It is said that he can’t even wear underwear properly.]

[In the end, the protagonist bottom took this opportunity to finally take advantage of him, and even touched that unspeakable place…]

Fu Qingchen’s body trembled, and he sent a huge sum of money to An Xia with trembling hands: “An, An Xia, I suddenly want to drink coffee again. Please go again, I will reimburse you for the cost.”

An Xia was shocked by the million dollar coffee reimbursement on his card: [But I heard that drinking so much coffee will affect the function of that place, it won’t work in the future!]

Fu Qingchen collapsed: “I don’t want coffee anymore, change it to Nongfu Spring Water!”

*

It’s still an ordinary working day. Fu Qingchen, who was handling work, heard a familiar voice again. He subconsciously became nervous, fearing that An Xia would speak wildly again—

[OMG! Has the identity of the protagonist bottom, the fake young master, finally been discovered? Now the real young master has gone to his house, and they are arguing about doing a paternity test!]

Fu Qingchen, who finally heard other people’s gossip, breathed a sigh of relief, and silently put down the documents in his hand and waited for An Xia to continue.

Please talk.

Sure enough, other people’s melons are delicious! <<less

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.

As Seobin stood dazed at the funeral, a large shadow fell over him. He looked up to see a familiar face.

Gil Jaegyu. He was the son of a housekeeper who had once worked for Seobin’s family.

Jaegyu looked at Seobin with a strange expression and handed him a business card along with a thick wad of condolence money. The card read .

“Call me if you need money.”

Was that a curse? Or a prophecy?

Seobin soon found himself in dire need of money. But securing funds proved difficult, and he eventually contacted Jaegyu.

“How much do you need?”

Unlike the stringent banks, Jaegyu readily presented him with a loan agreement. Hesitantly, Seobin filled in the amount he needed. At first, it was 3 million won, then 30 million won, and later, 300 million won. The debt piled up, eventually reaching 800 million won.

On the first month of repayment, Seobin, still a college student, appeared with a sum far less than the required payment.

“I’m sorry.”
