To emphasize the villain’s evil before he meets his end at the protagonist’s hands, an extra is falsely accused by his own brother, Letiyan, and dies imprisoned in the duke’s castle. ... more>>

That was supposed to be Vivisian’s role.

But when Letiyan died, the original story was thrown into chaos.

After enduring relentless torture, Vivisian no longer wished to go on living.

He wanted death.

But the gods kept rewinding time, pulling him back just before he could die.

Then, just as he resigned himself even to death, he unexpectedly found himself sitting in the temporary duke’s seat—

And taking in a child.

"Take care of this baby for me."

"I’m not a baby! Don’t call me that!"

"Maybe it’s that awful temper of yours, but no matter what I do, your fever won’t go down."

For now, he decides to postpone his death.

Because he must find this child a real family.

Not a family as broken as his own.

Not the ones who stole everything from him.

A true family.

"Sia, I’ll find you a family."

* * *

Using his abilities, Vivisian safely returns Sia to his family.

And in the aftermath of his power running rampant, he believes this is finally the end for him.

He even thinks he might have smiled at the very last moment.

But when he opens his eyes again, he’s in his own room.

A damned god’s so-called kindness has granted him one more year.

And in the Patos Desert, he meets that child once again.

"Vivi, you were the one who said it first. If someone lets one thing slide, the other should do the same at least once."

"......."

"I watched you die right before my eyes. So now, it’s your turn to listen to my request. …Please."

The child, now grown, begs him to live by his side.

Because if Vivi saved him once, then his life belongs to him as well. <<less

After transmigrating, I found myself as Go Yeonwoo, a side villain who mu*dered the protagonist, Woo Jiyoo, only to be brutally killed by a group of S-Class Espers.... more>>

To make matters worse, the moment I transmigrated was right after killing Woo Jiyoo.

But unlike the original story, Go Yeonwoo awakens as an S-Class Guide.

The Espers, upon sensing Go Yeonwoo’s guiding energy, start acting differently from the original.

“This bastard, let’s take him and use him as our personal sl*t. Just killing him would be too easy a punishment.”

“We’ll make him regret killing Woo Jiyoo. I’ll have him begging for death by the end.”

The S-Class Espers fake Go Yeonwoo’s death and imprison him in a secret place, forcing him to guide them.

However, with his already twisted tastes, Go Yeonwoo finds the Espers’ obsessive behavior suffocatingly delightful.

He even pretends to resist, encouraging them to treat him even more recklessly.

But then…

“Hey, are you seriously stopping after eating just this much? Are you planning to starve yourself to death?”

“Get lost, Kang Taewon. Because of you, my sl*t can’t eat properly. I’ll feed him myself. Open wide, Yeonwoo.”

“Yeonwoo, is there something you want to say to me? You were jealous enough to kill Jiyoo over it, weren’t you? If you tell me now, I’ll listen. Go ahead.”

“You’re letting me hold you up? Does that mean you’re giving me permission now?” <<less

Cen Lingqiu, a veteran agent of the Book Transmigration Bureau, takes on one last mission before retirement: to stop the female lead from committing su*cide.... more>>

The female lead is beautiful and frail, disabled in both legs. The male lead treats her as a stand-in for the woman he can never forget, locking her away in his mountainside manor and keeping her in total seclusion. Cen Lingqiu is transmigrated into the body of the male lead's older sister—a villainous side character who relentlessly torments the frail female lead.

The System informs her that the female lead has developed severe self-destructive tendencies. To advance the plot, she must prevent the female lead's su*cide and lower her self-destruction value.

Yu Mingjiao is beautiful but extremely world-weary and gloomy. Dutifully, Cen Lingqiu ignores her coldness, taking her to watch sunsets, nursing her back to health, and showering her with all kinds of kindness.

After faking her death to complete the mission, Cen Lingqiu is on the verge of retirement when the System informs her that the female lead has relapsed. Her mission is a failure.

Cen Lingqiu has no choice but to return to Yu Mingjiao's side, only to die again by accident.

When she returns to Yu Mingjiao's side for a third time, the once gloomy and taciturn female lead has completely descended into madness. Mentally unstable and plagued by hallucinations, she develops an intense possessiveness over Cen Lingqiu, whispering in a neurotic voice:

“Sister Lingqiu, if you leave me again, I'll kill myself.”

Cen Lingqiu: “...”

She realizes the plot has gone completely off the rails; the female lead is insane.

---

Yu Mingjiao finds Cen Lingqiu hypocritical and disgusting. She rejects the woman's kindness, wishing only for her death.

Later, when Cen Lingqiu really does die in front of her three times, it's as if Yu Mingjiao dies with her each time.

Throughout her life, Yu Mingjiao has hated this woman most of all, but she has also loved her most of all. She never imagined that one day, she would be the one crying and begging her not to go.

She would die. <<less

Lowly shepherd. Illegitimate daughter. Disgraceful duchess.... more>>

Although she had married her beloved Duke Izar, Freesia lived as though she was trapped at the bottom of a bleak, hapless abyss.

Her family took complete advantage of her, and the people of the duchy hated her for being a stain on the household’s honor.

And then there was her husband, Izar.

Even after she had suffered a miscarriage, he remained cold.

“To be born to parents like us—happiness would forever elude that child.”

At Freesia’s funeral, he had shed not a single tear.

But Freesia wished for one last thing.

Please, cry for me.

Shed even a single tear.

Dearly, I hope that your feelings might change.

Even if it means living for just one more year, that’s fine.

Once that time has passed, then.

Come and cry at my funeral.

For the first time, Freesia dared to glare at this man.

The dreadful document in her hand fell to the ground.

“How could you do something so cruel to me, to treat me worse than an animal!”

She was mistaken.

She thought, finally, this man held affection for her. That he trusted her.

That, perhaps… it could even be love.

But it was nothing like that. He deceived her.

“As a fine arts student, you must know the male body well.”... more>>

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

Since that day, Yeonwoo, who had always been bullied, always longed for death. Ink was spilled on the rice, and phlegm was mixed in the soup. There was never a day without bruises on his forearms. He planned to end his life when his only family, his grandmother, passed away.... more>>

“You eat with me now.”

“Ink… isn’t something people eat. If you’re curious about the taste, why don’t you eat it yourself instead of giving it to others?”

“Don’t be scared. I’m really good at fighting.”

The transfer student who appeared in front of Yeonwoo, who was crawling like a dog between someone’s legs, was neither a bystander nor a participant.

“You can smile, huh.”

He was a savior who couldn’t even be defined,

“It means you like me, idiot….”

and the first love he dared to hold in his heart.

“I’m not interested in guys. I hope it’s not what I’m thinking.”

“You were nothing to me, not even worth remembering.”

The reason he couldn’t let go of him even while struggling in hell was….

“Still, I hope you don’t endure it and find happiness.”

“…Sorry for forgetting everything.”

Because he ended up loving him even more. <<less

[Synopsis 1]

In a shipwreck, Yun Xi sinks to the bottom of the sea with the ship.

In the moment before she loses unconsciousness, a pair of soft lips presses against hers.

When she awakens again, she finds herself submerged in a dim pool, lying next to a woman.

The woman is completely naked, her long, wavy hair cascading like thick seaweed, her features strikingly beautiful with an exotic charm, and she has a pale blue fish tail.

The mermaid sways her soft tail, wrapping around Yun Xi’s body like a serpent, leaning close to sniff her scent and marking her with it.

Yun Xi’s eyes roll up and she faints again.

[Synopsis 2]

After a month of being stranded on a deserted island, kept by the mermaid.

Yun Xi can no longer hold on and decides to go on a hunger strike.

The innocent mermaid, thinking Yun Xi is ill, ventures up the mountain and into the sea, searching for everything edible. She carefully places the food beside Yun Xi, watching her anxiously, nudging her with her nose as if pleading. Eventually, she holds Yun Xi while crying uncontrollably.

Hearing the mermaid’s sobs, Yun Xi’s heart softens, and she ultimately abandons the hunger strike.

She must survive, just like all the other creatures on this island; survival is the top priority.

[Synopsis 3]

After a year of living together on the deserted island with the mermaid.

Yun Xi tries to leave the mermaid and live independently.

The mermaid doesn’t understand why Yun Xi wants to leave her. She believes she is different from humans, thinking that’s why Yun Xi doesn’t love her.

She cries and begins to tear off her own scales, bleeding profusely, wishing to become human like Yun Xi so they can be together forever.

Xu Zhaixing’s idol, Cen Feng, was a new star, slowly rising in the entertainment circle. She firmly believed that everyone would see the brilliance of her idol one day. But she could no longer wait for the day to arrive…... more>>

Cen Feng had committed su*cide at home because of depression. It was only after his death that the injustices he had suffered had been revealed to the public.

It turned out that he was an adopted orphan, and his biological father was actually a mu*derer.

It turned out that the reason he never touched the piano again was that his little finger was intentionally trampled by his teammates.

It turned out that the team was harassing him, and he offended a higher-up company, resulting in resources being divided.

It turned out that the treasure, which she had been so afraid to hold on to her palm in fear of breaking it, had been trampled on, had been beaten black and blue…

Six months later, Xu Zhaixing died in a car accident, only to be reborn as a high school student. She was just a freshman that year.

It was ten years before Cen Feng committed su*cide.

The king asked, looking at his queen after an unexpected question.

“…I’m just saying if it were to happen.”

“Such a thing will probably never happen.”

He chuckled, thinking of the tea he drank every day.

“Do you think I would allow the blood of a mere barbarian to inherit my throne?”

Gazing into the king’s icy eyes, she realized he was no longer the king who once cherished her. The child growing within her would never be embraced. Naturally, her value to him would diminish once she became pregnant.

“…Indeed, it is inconceivable.”

And so, she saw no reason to remain by his side any longer. <<less

The S-Class guilds, High Tower and Ghost Eye, are notorious archrivals, having battled for years in the Alliance’s dungeon crystal ore market.... more>>

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: “……”

Both fathers: “?”

A genius schemer, creating an emperor!... more>>

“Only when your brother is happy can you be happy.”

She committed all kinds of evil deeds to make him Emperor. However, Artezia’s devotion was repaid with betrayal. It was the Grand Duke Cedric, a righteous enemy, that gave her a hand of salvation at the threshold of death.

“Devise a plan.”

“I can’t think of anyone but you who can reverse this situation. Marquess Rosan.”

I thought my life might improve when I was later transferred to the South Korean Esper Center, commonly known as the 'K Esper Center.' But even there, I wasn't treated as a human. I was nothing more than a tr*sh can, collecting all the negativity. My human dignity crumbled. Both physically and emotionally, I was a receptacle for their waste.

As I began to forget who I was, my name, age, and even whether I was human, I made a choice for myself for the first time. I felt myself sinking as the blood drained from my body.

Just before closing my eyes for the last time, through the cracked door, I caught the horrified gazes of those watching.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back in the evaluation room where I was previously labeled a D-class guide. But this time, the result was different. I wasn’t a D-class, but an immeasurable class capable of ruling over them.

Jiang Heng lived a carefree life until he was eighteen, when he was suddenly informed that he was the fake young master in a switched-at-birth scenario.

Before he could recover from this news, an out-of-control truck overturned, crushing him on the spot and ending his life.... more>>

When he woke up again, he found that he had not only transmigrated to four years later, but had also become a stray cat.

A newly weaned, little over a month old, seriously ill kitten, one that could kick the bucket at any moment.

Jiang Heng held up his furry paw, bewildered in the wind, "..."

How can this meow live?

With no survival experience, after getting himself covered in dust and dirt, Jiang Heng, having learned his lesson through painful experience, decided to find a sucker – a human to scam.

So he snuck into the university he had applied to before his death.

He saw Lu Yichuan in the crowd, his childhood friend he grew up with.

The dirty little kitten darted out from the bushes, bumping into Lu Yichuan's shoes, then delicately fell to the ground, his intention to scam very obvious.

Lu Yichuan was about to leave, but when he saw the kitten's bright, star-like eyes, he paused, slowly squatted down, extended a fingertip and poked the kitten's forehead, his voice as gentle as always, "Do you want to come with me?"

"Meow~"

Top-tier meal ticket, activated!

Lu Yichuan, a second-year graduate student in the Philosophy Department of A University, is the university's recognized male god, with a reputation so good it's breathtaking.

He is gentle and reasonable, treating everyone with good temper, his words and actions impeccable.

Over the years, countless men and women have confessed their love to him, and he hasn't agreed to any of them.

Someone was curious about what kind of person he likes.

The man looked up at the sky, the sun dazzlingly painful to the eyes.

He smiled and said, "Someone like the sun, I guess."

It's just a pity that his sun sank to the bottom of the sea in his twentieth year.

Since then,

The world could no longer be illuminated by a single ray of light.

Jiang Heng felt that becoming Lu Yichuan's cat was the most correct decision he had ever made in his life.

The man never restricted his freedom, cat food was plentiful, canned food was readily available, and he could wander outside for days and nights without being noticed.

Until Lu Yichuan was suddenly hospitalized. When he woke up, he tied a red string around his neck, and everything changed.

The perpetually open window was shut tight, and the man, who often stayed out all night, now spent almost twenty-four hours a day in the dormitory.

If he felt stuffy, the man would take him for a walk. If he felt the dormitory was small, the man would take him to a large villa...

As long as he left Lu Yichuan's sight for more than ten minutes, the man could always pinpoint his location.

He held his favorite canned food in his hand, his eyes holding an unreadable darkness, "Rongrong, it's time to go home."

Jiang Heng: QAQ

He didn't want to go back either, but he had canned food! <<less
