In the capital's elite social circles, rumors abound about Wen Yu's ruthlessness. Even the Emperor, upon hearing these tales, has repeatedly nodded in agreement!... more>>

Wen Yu, upon learning of this, responded with a cold smile: From a young age, her mother was mu*dered, her grandmother showed no affection, and her father offered no love. She was the target of envy and constantly schemed against. After much hardship, she finally secured a good husband, only to find her marital home a chaotic mess!

Should she play the innocent fool? If so, would a husband of exceptional talent and beauty, intelligent and considerate children, a devoted mother-in-law, and the title of Duchess simply fall from the sky?! In her past life, the Duchess met a miserable end!

Our protagonist first sets her sights on the male lead, unceremoniously claiming him as her own. After marriage, she employs every tactic imaginable: throwing herself into his arms, playing hard to get, alternating between gentle affection and playful dominance, expressing care while subtly tormenting…

From then on, the exceptionally handsome, ruthless, yet capable Fifth Young Master Qi, whose emotional intelligence borders on naive innocence, is repeatedly berated by the Emperor, who points a finger at him and scolds, "You spineless fool! What kind of life is this?! Divorce her immediately! Don't be afraid, I will support you!"

Fifth Young Master Qi blushes slightly: Actually, this life… isn't so bad…

This story portrays a strong female lead who makes every effort to achieve happiness.

***

Overlooked and undervalued, Wen Yu, the legitimate daughter of the Wen family, endures a life of quiet suffering.

On her fifteenth birthday, tragedy strikes, setting in motion a chain of events that culminates in her agonizing death. Miraculously reborn, Wen Yu returns to the day it all began, armed with the bitter memories of her past life and a steely resolve to change her fate. This time, she won't be a pawn in her family's games.

She will reclaim what is rightfully hers, expose the hypocrisy and cruelty of those who wronged her, and forge a new path for herself.

But as she navigates the treacherous landscape of family politics and builds her own power, she must confront not only her past enemies but also the unexpected attention of powerful figures who see her as a valuable asset in their own games.

Will Wen Yu succumb to her thirst for revenge, or can she find a way to break free from the cycle of pain and create a different future for herself? <<less

Zhou An woke up one morning as the Emperor of the Qianyuan Empire. He initially thought he could revel in the company of beautiful women and wield absolute power over the world.... more>>

However, he discovered he was merely a puppet emperor, a pawn used by the Empress Dowager to maintain stability before her own ascension to the throne. He was expendable, liable to be discarded at any moment.

On the empire's borders, foreign tribes were restless, taking advantage of the new emperor's lack of authority, perceived weakness, and the ensuing chaos within the court and the country to invade. They clamored to execute the "incompetent ruler" and "save" the people of Qianyuan from their plight.

Demons wreaked havoc, ghosts ran rampant, sects proliferated, and righteous-demonic wars ravaged the land, causing widespread suffering.

Zhou An activated his cheat, the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

Lighting up the harem map, he obtained the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Records.

Lighting up the main palace map, he obtained the Qianyuan Dragon Armor.

Lighting up the Eastern Palace map, he obtained the Son of Heaven Swordplay.

Lighting up the Western Palace map, he obtained the Universe Steps.

Lighting up the entire imperial palace map, he obtained the True Dragon Energy. <<less

"Have you heard? A new demon has appeared in the Jianghu?"... more>>

"Are you talking about that Shi Laomo, the one who claims to have world-shaking wisdom?"

"Yes, that demon! He's incredibly powerful in martial arts. He often uses a flawed manual to drive entire sects mad, turning them into something neither human nor ghost, completely insane! And he takes pleasure in it!"

"I've heard similar things! That demon is truly heartless and insane!"

Half a divine manual sets Shi Feizhe on his martial arts path!

When he finally becomes invincible, when everyone cries out to defeat him, facing the rumors of the Jianghu, he angrily rebukes:

"What? I practiced it wrong?"

"Impossible! Absolutely not!"

"With the same technique, I'm clearly stronger!"

"You can't cultivate it? That's because your talent is insufficient, it's your problem! You are the ones who are wrong!"

"No one understands martial arts cultivation better than me!"

City of Yellow Heaven plunges readers into a world of high-stakes martial arts, treacherous alliances, and the relentless pursuit of power.

Li Yun traversed into a world of cultivation and obtained a mysterious building: the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.... more>>

The Pavilion could divine the past and future, perceive the threads of fate, and deduce all matters of the world. Nothing could escape its calculations.

The Sacred Lord of Primal Beginning: "How did the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets learn that my Primal Beginning Sacred Land conceals two Imperial Weapons?"

The Sacred Lord of Shimmering Light: "I've been undercover in the righteous sects for three thousand years and was on the verge of unifying them! How did the Pavilion expose my identity as a demonic cultivator?"

Zhu Xiang, a professor of agriculture, found himself transported to the chaotic era of the Warring States in the Zhao Country. After much hardship, his life began to improve. His elder sister, who had run away with a wealthy merchant, left her nephew in his care, explaining that she had formed a relationship with another wealthy merchant and couldn’t take care of the child.... more>>

An indignant Zhu Xiang initially considered giving the child to someone else, but then he learned that the child’s name was Zheng, and his father was none other than Sun Yi, a noble from the Qin state. Zhu Xiang was bewildered. “My nephew is Ying Zheng? But my sister’s name isn’t Zhao Ji; it’s Chunhua!”

Determined not to let the future First Emperor disappear from history, Zhu Xiang decided to grit his teeth and tighten his belt to raise the young Emperor Qin. With a “ding,” the cultivation system came online, and he could exchange goodwill with historical figures for superior crops. Tears filled Zhu Xiang’s eyes as he kissed the young Emperor Qin on the forehead. “Truly worthy of being the Future First Emperor! You’re amazing! Just watch, your uncle will cultivate a vast empire for you!”

Many years later, Emperor Qin Shi Huang would still recall his childhood memories. His uncle held his small hand and walked through endless fields, pointing to the vast golden fields that stretched to the horizon. “Zheng, my nephew, your uncle has a dream – to plant superior crops across all the lands bathed in the sun and moonlight, so that everyone in the kingdom can have enough to eat.”

“Uncle, Zheng can conquer all the lands under the sun and moon and give them to you for farming, how does that sound?”

“Ah? Hahaha, that sounds great!” His uncle let out a hearty laugh, lifting him onto his shoulders. “Wherever Zheng’s kingdom expands, your uncle’s fields will follow.”

A large hands firmly holding onto the smaller one. “It’s a promise.”

As Anselm Hydra, the Empire’s most notorious malefactor, consumed a peculiar existence known as the “transmigrator,” he witnessed a despairing, predetermined future.... more>>

The martial god who shatters countless armies, the saint burdened with great sins, the arcanist who unveils the ultimate truths, the hero of utmost benevolence and compassion… They would destroy his family, his Empire, and all that he cherished.

When Anselm truly understood the cruelty and weight of fate, he awakened to his resolve.

“If the Empire requires reforms, then it doesn’t need the so-called protagonists. Empowered by the knowledge I hold, I am equipped to surpass them all.”

“And to you, the chosen ones favored by the world…”

“If destiny decrees your indestructibility, then I shall have you at my side… Descending to the very depths of the abyss.”

In short, this is a story of a villain rebelling against fate, taming the favored children of destiny, the darlings of heaven, and incidentally, revolutionizing the world. <<less

ML: Sang Heo (Simeon), 23 years old, S-class hunter and head of the guild ‘Apostle’, looking for Johan, whom he had a crush on in the past.... more>>

MC: Hajae Shin (Johan), 26 years old, has an immortal body due to a curse but has only one year to live. He hides his identity as Johan from Simeon.

***

‘Those who receive this curse will die in 10 years.’

I inherited ‘Destined to Die’, a curse that guarantees my death on a certain day. And no matter what I do until then, I cannot die.

Hajae Shin becomes terminally ill after inheriting a curse from his mother. A curse that will be passed on to the person you love the most in life once you die.

“I thought you disliked me. So, I thought you were avoiding me.”

“I don’t… dislike you.”

After Hajae starts volunteering at the cathedral’s orphanage, he is drawn to Sang Heo, and the two gradually become closer.

But, unwilling to pass the curse onto Sang, Hajae leaves his side…

“Don’t leave me, hyung. Don’t throw me away.”

“Don’t worry. I’m not going anywhere.”

I’m sorry.

Hajae and Sang reunite again seven years later. The child Hajae met at the orphanage had grown up and become ‘Simeon,’ an S-class hunter and leader of the guild, ‘The Apostles’.

Nisha, born from a wrongful relationship, lived her entire life in contempt and criticism. For her, who wasn’t even allowed to die by her own hand, the war-winning barbarian king demanded a royal marriage.... more>>

“All you need to do is love me and my country, and bear my child. Then, you’ll live without any want.”

A man known as the monster of the desert, without blood or tears. His treatment was excessively generous, just as he promised. One seemingly peaceful day, Nisha accidentally discovered the truth about the royal marriage.

“When do you plan to conduct the sacrificial ritual, Kagan?”

“After she finishes her current task and bears my child.”

That day, Nisha felt an urge to kiss the man for the first time. To the savior who would grant her the death she longed for. <<less

"Prophesy that I’ll marry a witch."... more>>

Louisville, known as the "unlucky emperor," is called that because he’s either too perfect or too many bad things happen to him.

To him, marriage is just a way to break a curse, and love is nothing but a weakness.

"I’m Anier, a prophet who sees the future through dreams."

Then suddenly, a savior appears in front of him—Anier.

She saved him from danger with nothing but her own body. She’s never dated anyone before and has never once thought about marriage. She firmly believes in staying single.

"If you find the last witch, will you kill her right away?"

"No."

"Then… will you send her to prison and torture her first…?"

"I’ll marry the witch, just as the prophecy says."

"What?"

But Anier hears something that sounds like a proposal, even though it isn’t one.

Because she—of all people—is the last witch.

There’s no way I’m getting forced into marriage!

But this man… he’s kind, even though he acts a little cold?! <<less

Rast’s time was hopelessly frozen on the same day after transmigrating into the western fantasy game Snow Moon Emblem.... more>>

No matter what he did, when dusk arrived, the resurrected Old God would erase the entire city known as Deep Blue Port, along with every trace Rast had left behind.

Time would rewind, and everything would begin again.

He had once been joyful, using endless time to pursue various women, studying the most obscure and remote books in the library, honing each of his skills to perfection...

He had also despaired, attempting to prevent the descent of the evil god, only to fall into utter hopelessness amidst endless failures...

Until that day, after three hundred years of rewinding and failing, when Rast once again, in his mortal body, faced the Old God head-on, he saw a figure that absolutely should not have appeared.

“Eh? According to history, Deep Blue Port should have been destroyed by the aftermath of the divine descent.”

The poster girl from the game cover, the 「Azure Silver Sword Saint」 Shiltina, was staring at him with a face full of confusion.

“And also, who is this strange Historical Echo instance NPC, and why is there absolutely no record of him in the chronicles?”

Rast: ?

So this is a replica projected from past history, and I’m just an NPC in the historical instance?

So, I’ve been playing the beta server for a whole three hundred years?

……

Breaking free from the shackles of time, the prisoner shattered the cage of history.

And thus——

A player more terrifying than any boss was born. <<less

“Now you won’t fall ill without me, and I was thinking it’s about time I looked for other work.” After untangling her twisted mana and opening up the pathways, the young lady who had grown up healthy and strong had become an Aura Master. Thinking this was enough, he was about to leave to find another path when—

CRASH. The entire office window was torn away as a cool breeze rushed in. Sherys, who had barely managed to find a single scratch on her perfectly fine fingertips, squeezed it with both hands and showed him a tiny drop of blood no bigger than an ant’s tear, while pitifully drooping her eyebrows.

“I’m hurt, Eddie.”

“……”

“Make it better.”

……Retirement seems difficult.

There was nowhere to retreat. Edward looked up at Sherys, who had trapped him in her arms while he pressed his back firmly against the chair.

“What if I told you I have a lover?”

“Since I can’t bear to see you cry, I’d have to give up cleanly. While keeping a watchful eye for opportunities, of course.”

Is that really giving up cleanly? While her words sounded innocent, her expression looked quite displeased. Without realizing it, he became frightened and asked again.

“What if I don’t have one?”

“Unless you throw a tantrum saying you hate it to death, I’ll use all my strength to seduce you.”

“……And that’s the current situation?”

“Yes.” <<less

I woke up inside a dystopian game...... more>>

A world with no dreams, no hope, and definitely no mercy.

My assigned mission?

Track down the fanatics and bring peace back to the world.

But...

"How am I supposed to save the world in a three-year-old’s body?!"

The order is on the verge of collapse.

I rescued the pitiful protagonist of the game...

only to somehow end up taking his place.

Now I’m the Pope.

But this place is crawling with fanatics secretly worshiping an evil god, and spies from the royal court.

Even the holy knights who are left... have completely lost it.

"Daddy! Call me Daddy, Master!"

"I told you, I’m the Pope, not Master!"

"You're so cute! You need to eat a hundred meals a day!"

"Shut it."

As both a healer and the Pope, I need someone to play the role of my "Daddy" and protect me.

The problem?

Every single one of my Daddy candidates is completely unhinged.

And even the male lead I let go so he could live a happy life...

"As long as I have you, I don’t care if the world burns."

...seems to have come back not quite right in the head.

Entering the Netherworld, he obtained the supreme treasure, the "Book of Life and Death." One day in the Netherworld was equivalent to a thousand years in the world. When he opened his eyes again, he had already boarded a broken ship of transmigration.

Returning to the human world, he found that the road ahead was not as smooth as he had imagined. Former enemies, harboring resentment, stirred up trouble like venomous snakes in the dark night. Former friends, having succeeded in their awakening, discarded him like worn-out shoes, watching with cold eyes.

Ryu Sung-woon, a man seeking a child through in vitro fertilization from his blind date partner. Instead, Su-hwa steps in for the woman who stormed out and offers him a contract marriage.  

“I’ll give birth to your child.”  

After five years, she reunites with her first love. But Sung-woon fails to recognize her—not even realizing she was the intruder who once climbed over the villa’s wall.  

However, on their wedding night, when she expects them to sleep in separate rooms, her husband climbs into her bed.  

“W-Why are you taking off your clothes?” 

"Then, do you prefer keeping them on, Ms. Song Su-hwa?"  

Sung-woon had even come out as a man who preferred men. He didn’t want to be with a woman, which was why he had insisted on in vitro fertilization. So why…?  

“What’s the problem? You said you’d bear my child. It was clearly stipulated in the prenuptial contract and notarized, wasn’t it?”  

Looking into his wife’s wide, startled eyes, Sung-woon smirked in satisfaction. The intruder who had once made him question his own s*xual orientation had walked right into his life.   

How could he have forgotten those dark, pebble-like eyes? He had imagined kissing her countless times.  

“I won’t let you slip away a second time.”
