Until she suffered the cruel fate of being manipulated by a magical sword and killing all her loved ones.

[This miracle won’t happen twice. So, do your best and be happy.]

She turned her time back to change her own fate.

However, the root cause of the problem has not disappeared, and she is still not free from the past.

“I never talked to the Commander, how did you know me? I…… Did I offend you in some way?”

“There was no such thing. It was just that you stood out from the crowd and caught my eye.”

“Stood out? Is it because of my hair?”

“…… No, it was my personal interest.”

A man who has answers to her past and a woman who wants to erase that same past.

Will she be able to overcome her fate and become happy? <<less

I became the villainous side character in the “How to be Loved by an S-Class Esper” novel. ... more>>

I’m the antagonist who bullies the protagonist due to an inferiority complex and ends up dying! I was planning to either run away to avoid death or try to be nice to them….

“Damn it, you’re the one I want to see.”

But then the main character, who used to ignore me as a worthless guide, becomes obsessed with me, saying “Won’t you become my pair guide?

Of course, if you want marriage before that, I’m fine with it.”

The second male lead even tries to seduce me and proposes marriage.

Just how much is this original story going to be destroyed?

And what’s more…. “I killed that annoying bastard.”

What?

I killed the protagonist?! <<less

Clo Heartfield is a feudal lord of a remote region.... more>>

He was born with the primary knowledge of "this world". Reincarnation, otome game, magic, academy, the future of this world. In other words, according to his memories, this was a world of a game from his previous life. However, he was reincarnated not as the main character, the villainess or the capture target, but rather as the son of a noble, who barely missed the chance to attend the academy with the protagonist due to their slight age difference and didn't even appear in the main game. Also, he didn't get any privileges that came with being a reincarnator. In addition, he made an enemy out of a person with high status at the academy and was demoted into being the feudal lord of a remote region.

Just as he had changed his way of looking at his life, considering it as a second chance to live a different life unrealted to the game, his marriage was suddenly decided. And his partner was Violet Valentine, the woman who fulfilled the role of a villainess in this world.

This is the story of two people living a laid-back life while misunderstanding each other, falling in love and occasionally going crazy. <<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: “?”

19th Century, Great Britain. The time when the foundations for the Opium Wars were laid. McQueen Leicester, in charge of England's largest trading company, ‘Klaus Divison’, and a big player in opium trafficking, seeks to achieve his ambition to gain more power by jumping on the bandwagon of the upper-class society through war.... more>>

McQueen chances upon Aaron Wisfield, a debauchee in the high society of London, at a salon he attends for the purpose of lobbying. Contrary to his refined appearance, he despises men who habitually travel around whilst high on opium.

The successor of the ducal family, who vehemently opposes the scheme to dispatch troops to war. A man of abundant wealth, honor, and power from birth. All he does is stand on top and look down at the mud under his shoes.

McQueen, while perceiving him as a terribly detestable target, loses all his memories after suffering from a fall off a horse during a hunting competition.

When he manages to open his eyes in an old cottage, the glamorous handsome man claims to be England's best artist and that McQueen is his servant.

The owner of the cottage, only slick at face value, was temperamental, arrogant, and violent.

However, in an isolated cottage where only the two of them co-exist as human beings, McQueen Leicester begins to harbor indefinable feelings for his master, who always returns back full of wounds and injuries. <<less

“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

Instead of fried chicken, it was rotisserie chicken. Instead of chocolate cake, it was butter cake. Pizza, which couldn’t be bought due to lack of money. Yeonwoo’s eighth birthday party. 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

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.

After suffering all sorts of ab*se from my stepfather and mother, I was sold to an illegal guiding establishment due to my stepfather's debt as I turned twenty. ... more>>

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.

It would have been great if the esper I was supposed to guide was the person who saved me… But he too was an esper from the K Esper Center.

Although Nabin tried to hide it, deep down he hoped he might encounter him—S-class Special Esper, Telekinetic Lee Hayan.

That was the name Mr. Kim had used to refer to the one who had saved his life. With white hair and a matching name, he was as pure as untouched, freshly fallen snow. The kindness he showed Nabin was equally pristine. <<less

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. The pampered young master of the Jiang family instantly became an orphan with no one to rely on. 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

“…Forget everything about the past.”

His words stabbed me.

More painful than the discreet inner turmoil that was currently tormenting me, his words were even more agonising.

Finally, I closed my eyes.

I could feel the tears trickle down my closed eyes.

“Forget everything and hate me, Julie.”

He had me captive for a long time.

‘This is driving me crazy.’

For the dragon, I have to kill my father, and for my father, I have to kill the dragon.

What am I supposed to do about this?

‘I miss my mother.’

When I saw the dragon that appeared before my eyes, I instantly thought, ‘I’m dead now.’

Wait, so does that mean I can guide this dragon with this body?

“So if we were to substitute it, it would be with blood, saliva, or tears.”

Calthus whispered softly.

“When you’re mentally ready, then we’ll try it.”

Uh… So.

Let me summarize what he just said…

‘Forcing a kiss with someone you don’t even love is cruel, so you’re saying you won’t force it?’

What kind of nonsense is that.

Do you think I’m someone who would weigh ‘the purity of your snout’ and ‘your life’?

“Open your mouth.”

He really couldn't imagine, which family would want such a daughter-in-law? He sneered in his heart, but the mother of his marriage partner was too kind to him, so Huai Xingye withdrew his sharp edges and treated her with respect.

But he still couldn't understand: Why would his marriage partner run away on the wedding night? It was only later on that he discovered —— His marriage partner, Wei Xulan, was a celebrity with a whole bunch of sisters and wives.

To her utter confusion, not only had four years passed since her death, but she had also become a ghost.

-…Oh my?

"..."

-Oh, oh my, it’s true? … it’s true?

Apparently, her ghostly form was only visible to her four-year-old son. Left with no choice, she initially pretended to be a guardian angel sent by his mother to watch over her son. However, upon observing the clear signs of neglect he had endured while being confined to the attic of the mansion, her heart sank.

As if that wasn’t enough,

-My baby, how long have you been living here?

"I’m not a baby…"

-…Right. So, what’s your name?

“… Young Master?”

…He didn’t even have a name at the age of four.

Had my f*cking husband lost his mind? When had he ever shown any genuine gratitude for me giving birth to our child?

She vowed to give her husband, who was currently away on business, a piece of her mind when he returned. She would avenge the suffering her son had endured.

With that thought in mind, she gritted her teeth. But then she noticed…

‘…What on earth is that?’

His once handsome face was now gaunt and haggard, with dark circles etched beneath his sharp, piercing eyes.

She was shocked by the stark difference from the last time she had seen him.
