A fateful encounter between Seoyul, an Omega who has never seen an Alpha before, and Heegon, an Alpha who has never met an Omega.

“Kekeke, as you commanded, I’ve brought the Holy Knight, Adriel, Master!”

An adorable blonde fairy appeared, having kidnapped a Holy Knight.

“Rosemary Ferial. I’ve heard rumors about you, but I didn’t realize you were this pathetic.”

This Holy Knight is destined to become a bloodthirsty mu*derer who will eventually kill me. I tried to release him amicably, emphasizing as much as possible, “I don’t like you anymore!” But then he asked,

“Why don’t you just settle down here?”

“Are you allowing me to?”

“Would you?”

Why is this Holy Knight coming back into the house on his own?

“Master, don’t get married… What will happen to me if you do?”

Now I find myself comforting this blonde fairy.

“I like you. I’ve never felt this way before. Could this be love?”

And why on earth did I end up receiving a proposal from this psychopathic Marquis? All I ever wanted was to be rich. <<less

--I Always Wanted This Man.... more>>

Yoo Hyun-jin, a promising young priest of the Je-yang Kingdom, has harbored a secret love for Hyun Tae-oh, the youngest son of the prestigious Hyun family, for many years. However, fully aware that his feelings could never come to fruition, he devoted himself to theology, keeping his heart in check and rapidly climbing the ranks toward his formal ordination as a priest.

One night, a banquet is held to welcome Governor Hyun Tae-oh back to the capital after seven years in the conflict-ridden borderlands. Hyun-jin, arriving to retrieve his drunken younger brother, finds himself entangled in an unexpected mishap that leaves his clothes ruined. Stripped bare, he is forced to wait in a backroom of the restaurant while his garments are being washed. Beside him lies an unconscious, equally unclothed Hyun Tae-oh.

At dawn, Hyun Tae-oh wakes up, sees their compromising state, and immediately jumps to the wrong conclusion. Overwhelmed by the situation and his long-hidden affections, Hyun-jin impulsively jokes that Hyun Tae-oh drunkenly had his way with him.

Before he can retract his words, Hyun Tae-oh, taking full responsibility for having supposedly defiled a priest, solemnly declares that he will atone for his actions. Things spiral out of control when the esteemed noble—who is also the betrothed of the Je-yang Kingdom’s princess—abruptly calls off his long-standing royal engagement, throwing the entire court into chaos.

How will the kingdom’s coldest and most calculating noble, Hyun Tae-oh, and its most naive and love-struck priest, Yoo Hyun-jin, navigate the aftermath of their so-called "pure" one-night encounter? <<less

General Qi Ren, known as the "Mad Wolf" was once an undefeated war god. However, he was poisoned by an enemy spy on the battlefield, which left him mentally impaired, leading to the tragic downfall of a legendary hero. The Emperor, relieved to have neutralized this formidable threat to his throne, felt a twinge of guilt. Hearing rumors that the "madman" harbored affection for the timid and mute Seventh Prince, Fu Yu'an, the Emperor decided to arrange their marriage, believing it to be a benevolent gesture. ... more>>

However, after the wedding, Fu Yu'an, who had to play both father and mother to the seemingly foolish general, was shocked when he saw the "madman" climbing into his bed with clear, calculating eyes. Fu Yu'an kicked him off and exclaimed, "You're not a fool?"

To which Qi Ren retorted, "And you're not mute, are you? We're both hiding our true selves—so why the disdain?"

In his first year, Ning Chen transmigrated and joined the Qinglian Sect as the disciple of Sect Master Liu Ruyan.... more>>

By the third year, he awakened the Supreme Chongyang Sacred Physique.

That same year, Liu Ruyan schemed against him, imprisoning him in the deepest part of the Qinglian Sect’s Demon-Locking Prison, where he was used as a furnace for nightly essence extraction.

From that moment, Qinglian Sect’s strength skyrocketed.

A hundred years later, Sect Master Liu Ruyan advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, becoming the youngest cultivator on the continent to achieve that realm.

A thousand years later, Qinglian Sect transformed into an all-female sect. Among its disciples, nine stood out the most—peerless prodigies known as the “Nine Radiances of Qinglian.”

Three thousand years later, Liu Ruyan transcended the Tribulation Stage, attaining immortality. From then on, Qinglian Sect became the ultimate holy land for female cultivators.

After ten thousand years under the Great Xia Dynasty, the entire Qinglian Holy Land—composed solely of female cultivators—ascended as one.

Rumors spread that a divine entity was nurtured in the deepest layer of the Demon-Locking Prison.

Every woman who ventured there emerged completely transformed.

The female cultivators of Qinglian Sect whispered among themselves: “Mmm, Senior Brother really is… enormous.”

The man who spoke to Jungjoon was a complete stranger. Despite having an outward appearance that wouldn't connect him to Jungjoon, a single father.

Jungjoon searched his memories, trying to place the man who implied he knew him. Only after dredging up his pitiful past could he overlay the face of a child who had clung to him with an unsettling obsession.

A reunion after 17 years. It was a time span that made it even more improbable that any trace of the past would remain. The small child had become a grown man.

⟡˖ ࣪

“I understand… why you’re doing this. We… grew up without parents, lived lives several times harder than others….”

“…….”

“We had no choice but to rely on each other…. And we were each other’s only family…. So… the affection you received from me, you must suddenly miss it, long for it. Yes… that’s completely understandable.”

“…You’re right. I’ve always thought of you as my wife.”

Jungjoon felt his breath catch in his throat. His vision blurred at the word “wife” coming from Yoonhae’s lips once again.

“…Stop it. Do you really think you’ll never see me again after today?!”

“Do you think you won’t see me if you decide not to?”

Yoonhae rubbed his chin and then his thick neck.

“Either you kill me, or I kill you. Isn't that realistically the only way? For us to not see each other again.”

He added, looking directly at the pale Jungjoon,

“I’m joking, so relax.”

“…….”

“So…, when are you going to give me that kiss?” <<less

The two had been bound by a persistent, ill-fated affair caused by an accident… Unwittingly, Su-hwa found himself drawn in, only for his unrequited love to be trampled on mercilessly.

“Ah, for f*ck’s sake… I’m not some worthless rag.”

Jin-woo treated him like nothing more than a toy, wearing Su-hwa down, body and mind. In the end, Su-hwa, exhausted, hid the fact he was pregnant with Jinwoo’s child and disappeared.

Yet a few years later, the quiet life Su-hwa had believed he could enjoy with his child was shattered by Jin-woo’s sudden reappearance.

“You wretch! The heavens will surely punish you!”

“Hey, lady. You’ve certainly set up quite a show here, messing about with someone else’s partner and kid, have you?”

Su-hwa was terrified. He wanted nothing more than to flee, but he couldn’t.

“Your little run’s over, Yeon Su-hwa.”

Like a nightmare resurrected from his university days, Choi Jin-woo stood before him once again.

“You’ll never escape from me again.”

“……”

“But don’t expect to have my heart.”

She became the object of her husband’s contempt.

A fabricated truth. Her father’s sinister schemes revealed at every turn.

“……I’m sorry.”

“You shouldn’t have done something you’d regret from the start.”

Everything tightened around Arthena like a noose, forcing her to make a choice.

「 A woman’s blood is worthless. 」

Would she fulfill her father’s command to bear a son or accept death?

“If you understand honor, you know what you must do.”

Or would she abandon her life, unwilling to endure the scorn and coldness of the man she loved?

Standing at the crossroads, Arthena finally resolved to leave.

“Whose child is that?”

“……It’s not yours.”

Her husband, who was once her entire world, reached out to her once again.

“I don’t care.”

Training and waiting for his return for five years, Ha-gyeom turns twenty and has been guiding for a year. However, without a highly compatible Esper at the center, he is unable to fully utilize his abilities.

Then, he finally gets the opportunity to participate in a mission in Zone 0 and hears unexpected news upon his return.

Ling Xiao returned to his hometown with illustrious military achievements, only to hear rumors that his restless sister-in-law had conspired with an outsider to mu*der his long-ill elder brother.... more>>

He watched as she knelt before the coffin, clad in plain white mourning robes, her slender frame as delicate as a willow, her brows like distant mountains, weeping so pitifully it could move anyone’s heart.

With a sharp sword, he lifted her fragile chin, his killing intent flaring: "A bewitching beauty brings ruin—you deserve death!"

Later, she proved her innocence, yet he still despised her, for his brother had died because of her.

He warned her, "Rein in your seductive ways. If you dare stray from your widow’s duties and fail to remain chaste for my brother, I will kill you all the same."

Later still, she fled at the sight of him, trembling at his every word, avoiding him like a venomous snake.

Yet in the dead of night, he pinned her against the wall, his rough fingers greedily caressing her face: "Why won’t you seduce me?"

Her half-blind mother-in-law offered her a vegetable bun she had hoarded for days.

Looking at the white fuzz growing on it, Wang Man was utterly speechless. Is this even edible? Am I about to meet my great-grandmother in the afterlife?

Her thug of a husband was lazy and gluttonous, spending his days dreaming of striking it rich at the gambling den. Thus began Xiao Man’s long road of violently taming her Husband.

Twice doesn’t work? Then more.

Keep going until he’s properly broken in.

Shen Lie was pushed by his third uncle to serve in the military. After more than two years, when he returned to the village, the villagers were shocked to see him alive.

Upon inquiry, he found out that not only had he “died,” but he also gained an unseen wife. Moreover, his wife and two younger siblings were all divided up and sent away by his third uncle and aunt. They lived in the area where the Shen family was exiled, in the makeshift thatched cottage in the mountains.

A shabby thatched cottage which could kill people in windy and snowy days?

He didn’t bother to go home and question his uncle; he suppressed his anger and hurried to the mountains. When he arrived in front of the thatched cottage in the wind and snow, he could hardly recognise it as the place where he had lived.

This is a little different from what he thought…

The house has obviously been repaired and is no longer as dilapidated as before. A high courtyard wall has been built with yellow mud outside the house, and an extra stove has been built in the courtyard. It was dinner time when a young woman came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of hot food, followed by two children carrying rice, bowls, and chopsticks. As soon as they saw each other, the two children’s eyes widened, then they yelled “big brother” and rushed out.

Ling Xing opens his eyes to find himself transported to ancient times, becoming a "chong xi" bridegroom, married to a man on his deathbed.

Three days after the wedding, his husband passes away, and Ling Xing is transformed from a bridegroom into a widower.... more>>

The original Ling Xing had fled famine and hardship, leaving him with no place to call home. Fortunately, the Shen family takes him in and allows him to live with them. The Shen family is poor, struggling to make ends meet, often going hungry and lacking adequate clothing. They subsist on a meager diet of porridge mixed with wheat bran, barely enough to fill their stomachs.

Ling Xing, in his past life, was a food vlogger, skilled in recreating various cuisines and an excellent cook. To earn a living, he starts selling steamed buns, rice noodle rolls, and grilled skewers. His small food stall gradually grows into a two-story restaurant, becoming quite prosperous.

As Ling Xing's business thrives and his life improves, more and more people come forward to propose marriage. The matchmakers chatter incessantly, saying, "The Shen family, you shouldn't stop Xing Ge'er from remarrying." "In our Yu dynasty, there's no rule that a married woman or ge'er must remain a widow for life." "The one proposing marriage is a scholar!"

Ling Xing is constantly pestered by these matchmakers, feeling overwhelmed. Fortunately, his brother-in-law, who had given up his life as a hunter to pursue studies, returns after completing his imperial exams. Under his cold gaze, the matchmakers quickly disperse.

That night, Ling Xing is pinned down by a tall, shadowy figure.

"If you are willing to remarry, I want to marry you," the figure says.

Ling Xing is stunned, exclaiming in disbelief, "Shen Hui, are you crazy? I'm your brother-in-law!"

Shen Hui lowers his gaze and replies, "You were married to me, so what kind of brother-in-law are you?"
