It was unbelievable, but Ellier had died once and came back to life.... more>>

Additionally, she, though it may seem far-fetched, was the Empress of this huge Empire, Pardinas.

The problem lay in that she woke up in the body of a certain s*ave girl, returning to 17 years in the past before she, the Empress, died.

“This toxic b*tch! Today’s events have made it clear that there isn’t any difference between you and a beast.”

The enraged s*ave trader placed Ellier in the middle of Rubelfast Square on display as a spectacle.

The surroundings were exceptionally clean and the people were particularly busy today.

‘Ah… So today was the day the s*ave market opened…!’

The s*ave market was held once every fortnight, and was possibly a day where s*ave traders have been waiting for. It was also the day that she has been anxiously awaiting, as it was a golden opportunity to screw with the s*ave traders and escape from this agonizing place.

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

“You’ve woken up.”

The door swung open suddenly, and a tall and handsome young man of a stalwart build entered.

It was a very natural attitude for someone who entered without knowing that Ellier had woken up.

‘Oh my God, how the hell did this happen?’

To her surprise, it was a familiar face.

Platinum blond hair that evoked sighs of wonder, amber eyes that were beautiful enough to be an ornament, smooth and firm skin that was tanned by the sun, as well as a big and sturdy frame that left no doubts that he was a knight…

That’s it. Even if she died and came back to life, she would never forget that appearance.

‘Isn’t that Slarhan Ventiark!’

He was the strongest political adversary in Ellier’s previous life. <<less

Lucian, a quick transmigrator, cheerfully escapes to the next world after completing his mission of deceiving the protagonist (and others) in the previous world by masquerading as the Holy Son. Before dying, he reveals his incubus lineage and exposes his dark history. Overnight, he transformed from an innocent white lotus into a sinister and cunning black moonlight, completely filling everyone’s hatred meter.... more>>

Running away after flirting is indeed exciting. He can’t go back anyway. ^+^

……Until he wakes up to discover that he has not only lost contact with the system but has also returned to the previous world. He wears an anklet that seals his power, his incubus bloodline awakened halfway, with demon runes, white hair, and red eyes.

Not only that, he finds himself trapped in a high tower within a castle, unable to even open the windows.

And the owner of the castle is…

None other than the terrifying protagonist hell-bent on revenge, destruction, and killing him.

——Somehow, after escaping through death, his body did not die with him. Instead, it was kept alive by that man in the castle, functioning but without a soul.

Lucian: ……Is there any hope left for me? <<less

From the beginning, it was a paradoxical encounter.... more>>

“A clean body for someone in the mafia.”

She, the agent—

“I don't like drawing on my body, so I haven’t.”

—and he, the mafia boss, met.

“But if you want it.”

His steps were elegant and dignified. Why was someone in the mafia even graceful?

“I could at least engrave your name.”

He picked up a pen with the unusually long space between his middle and index fingers. He pulled off the pen cap with his lips and spat it on the floor, then rolled up one sleeve.

A black line from the pen drew across his pale skin.

{Hye-young}

Hye-young. A name her Italian adoptive parents insisted she keep, saying the Korean name was beautiful.

“How is it? Do you think it’ll look pretty?”

Looking at his elegantly drawn handwriting, Hye-young replied.

“… What if I say it will?”

“If you say it’s pretty,”

A sinister light shimmered in his eyes.

“I’ll engrave it right now.”

Why was it that, at the mention of him engraving a tattoo on his arm, the space between her legs tightened?

“You… really…”

One thing was for sure—He really was a madman. <<less

On the day of her wedding, which she has relived countless times, Vinea, with a voice filled with disgust, addressed her husband, the Emperor Tatar.... more>>

“You did well to stab a knife into your own heart. Everyone present must have realized that His Majesty had gone mad.”

Tatar responded with a leisurely laugh.

“Was it as impressive as the bride who broke her neck jumping off a moving carriage? Was that our twenty-fourth honeymoon? The sight of the empress jumping with a confident smile and hands behind her back was indeed valiant.”

Surviving an insane reincarnation cycle, they managed to keep a semblance of sanity by anchoring themselves to each other. How many deaths would it take to end this loop? As Vinea desperately sought a way to die as a human, Tatar’s gravelly voice whispered in her ear.

“If we stay in this hell, will the empress remain my salvation forever?”

She had to find a way to end the reincarnation as soon as possible, before the man standing before her completely lost his mind. <<less

"Congratulations on your marriage, Kaindel."... more>>

Isaac, who had been Kaindel’s lover—the hero who saved the world from the Great Calamity—learned one day that Kaindel was engaged to a princess.

Exhausted by their already strained relationship, Isaac eventually decided to leave Kaindel, who had betrayed him.

However, Kaindel wouldn’t let him go.

In the end, Isaac fled, unable to endure Kaindel's refusal to give up either the marriage to the princess or his relationship with Isaac.

Not long after, rumors began to spread throughout the kingdom: the hero had gone mad.

***

[From Isaac Winter, who once loved you]

"......."

Kaindel read and reread the last line of the letter, but the words didn’t change.

'Once loved.'

Isaac really wrote his feelings in past tense.

"Ah."

He never thought Isaac would leave him.

No, he never believed he could be abandoned.

Even if they parted ways, he was sure it would be on his terms.

Because Isaac loved him.

Because being loved by Isaac was, for Kaindel, something so natural.

"Why......."

But it had all been an illusion.

"Why didn’t I see it?"

Now, the one left behind like a forgotten relic was Kaindel, him.

The one clinging to the past, too blind to see the present, was none other than himself.

He only realized it now, after he left him.

Suddenly, Isaac’s voice, long buried in his memory, resurfaced.

Isaac’s smiling face filled his vision, his silver eyes, like clear glass marbles, gleaming with a thousand bright stars, painfully vivid.

The sound of Isaac’s innocent laughter echoed in his mind. "I love you," Isaac had once whispered.

When Kaindel's mind wondered around, did Isaac’s laughter disappeared?

No matter how much he tried to remember, the moment escaped him.

He searched his memory in vain.

As Kaindel traced the days gone by, thick tears began to fall.

Like melting ice dripping onto the budding new leaves of spring, his tears left indelible marks on Isaac's letter.

"Where is he?"

"......."

"Find him."

"Immediately."

Kaindel finally crumbled.

In the place where his arrogance shattered, a deep regret settled in.

It was a perfect despair. <<less

“The dimensional gate has closed. Dana, you can’t leave now! So, adapt quietly to this world!”

But Dana knows. She knows how to end this possession and return. Briefly saddened by the betrayal of her love, Dana burns with rage, preparing for revenge and escape.

Regent Prince × Newly Appointed Top Scholar: Solving Cases, Rising in Rank, and Falling in Love... more>>

In the eighth year of the Tianshou reign, the former emperor suddenly passed away, and the new emperor, only six years old, ascended the throne. Prince Ning, holding military power, entered the court as the regent, while Empress Dowager Chu ruled from behind the curtain. Factional struggles within the court were fierce, and anyone seeking a position had to first learn how to pick a side.

A young and spirited scholar from Suzhou, carefree by nature and unbound by conventions, unexpectedly found himself caught in the political whirlpool, unable to control his fate.

A series of mu*ders among newly appointed officials, a mysteriously missing corpse from a coffin, a hidden world-class treasure within a painting, and eerie rumors surrounding the Mountain Goddess...

Li Shi is like the city of Chang’an in Su Cen’s heart. Having wandered half his life to find it, Su Cen desires it deeply upon just one glimpse. If this city were ever to fall, he would be left drifting, with nowhere to call home.

A powerful prince towering above all (Li Shi) × an extraordinary and talented top scholar (Su Cen). The older gong and the younger shou. Happy ending.

Hush is a thrilling crime novel filled with all-villain characters. The protagonist and supporting cast wreak havoc in a sinful city, committing heinous acts and leaving readers exclaiming, “What the hell!”... more>>

In the end, everyone meets a miserable demise.

Shen Yan transmigrates into the story.

And becomes the protagonist’s neighbor.

The protagonist, the leader of a crime syndicate, is a god-tier maniac who single-handedly builds a team of villains, leads them in chaos, and, out of sheer boredom, orchestrates their collective downfall.

A dark twist on the “overpowered protagonist” trope.

The neighbor, Shen Yan, is the protagonist’s first henchman, a fervent admirer who, under the protagonist’s influence, practically offers up his heart as a token of love.

Shen Yan (closing his eyes): “Not bad. A heart-and-soul kind of brother.”

With no money to move, he has no choice but to adapt in order to survive.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Shen Yan decides to emulate the protagonist’s persona to stay alive.

Are you a lunatic? Me too!

Do you hate idiots? Me too!

Do you want to destroy the world? Haha, surprise, me too!

Successfully pretending to be a maniac, he becomes the protagonist’s closest friend.

The protagonist brands a kiss on his hand, interlocking their fingers, his eyes deep and brimming with an unnerving fervor.

“You’re the only one worthy to stand by my side.”

Later, Shen Yan saves up enough money and decisively flees. To ensure no loose ends, he betrays the lunatics and gets them locked up in Star Prison for ten thousand years.

Then he fakes his death, assumes a new identity, and sneaks off to a remote planet.

After two carefree years, he sees a news broadcast where the host calmly reports an update on the Star Prison:

“On July 28th, Star Year 136, a crime syndicate led by a certain Ruan has successfully broken out of Star Prison. Citizens are advised to...”

The host’s mouth keeps moving, but Shen Yan hears nothing.

The protagonist hugs him from behind, resting his chin on his shoulder.

The red-haired fugitive points at Shen Yan’s wanted poster on TV and laughs loudly.

The fragile scam artist hides under the dining table, clutching Shen Yan’s ankle, trembling.

The cold arsonist pulls out a chair to sit across from him, lights the tablecloth on fire, and smiles at him through the flames.

“Baby,” the protagonist murmurs, kissing Shen Yan’s temple.

“This time, how are you planning to run?”

Shen Yan (surprisingly calm): “Haha, what a lively reunion!” <<less

After failing to transmigrate to a proper cultivation world, Lin Zhengran woke up to find himself as a little kid... in kindergarten.... more>>

With no other choice, he decides to fool the system by pretending to cultivate.

Lin Zhengran looked at the milk candy in his childhood friend’s hand.

“Give me the candy. Do you need to go to the restroom? I’ll call the teacher for you.”

The little girl, confused and innocent, handed the candy to Lin Zhengran.

“Here’s the candy...”

[Congratulations! Without lifting a blade or striking a blow, you successfully obtained the Pure Yang Elixir from the fairy!] <<less

Lin Lang lived like a dog in her previous life, struggling her entire life. In the end, when she got sick, she was passed around like a football. She dedicated herself wholeheartedly and selflessly, but ended up a joke!... more>>

At the time of her death, Lin Lang vowed that she would never be a saint again in any lifetime. Unexpectedly, she obtained an unexpected System and began to train in various small worlds!

To deal with extraordinary people, one must use extraordinary means. Evil people have their own evil people to grind them down!

The female lead is not a white lotus. She will use any means to complete her tasks. To deal with evil people, one must use the same evil methods. The female lead does not love anyone; she only loves herself in this life!

A selfish and self-serving quick transmigration character, a quick transmigration character who respects only herself, and even a quick transmigration character who likes to solve problems with her fists!

Is human nature inherently evil? Or is it inherently good?

***

The sandalwood canopy bed, carved with flowers and painted with birds, exuded an understated luxury that did little to soothe the turmoil within Lin Lang.

One moment, she was a woman betrayed, dying in a world that had chewed her up and spat her out. The next, she was Mingzhu, a Borjigit noblewoman destined for the Emperor's Harem, a gilded cage where beauty was currency and ambition, a dangerous game. But Lin Lang was no Mingzhu, no starry-eyed girl dreaming of the Emperor's love.

She knew the game, the players, and the tragic end that awaited her predecessor. Armed with the memories of a life wasted on selfless devotion, Lin Lang vowed to seize control of her fate.

In this world of silk and secrets, where every smile hid a dagger and every whispered word could shatter empires, she would not be a pawn. She would be a player, and she would rewrite the sorrows of a co-wife into a symphony of power, resilience, and survival. <<less

Top socialite Gu Qingcheng was abducted and trafficked for three years. After miraculously escaping death, she thought her nightmare was over, but unexpectedly fell into an abyss again. Her doting parents now shunned her like a plague. Her brother, a fierce protector of his sister, utterly detested her. Even her adopted younger sister mocked her with sarcasm. Her childhood sweetheart boyfriend, who had sworn eternal love, became her adopted sister's fiancé and wished for her early demise.... more>>

All of this was because of outside rumors that she had contracted a shameful illness, given birth to an old man's child, and brought disgrace to the Gu family. With a heavy heart, she severed ties with her family. Carrying her hidden net worth of over one hundred million, she turned around and flash-married Lu Junyao.

Everyone knew Lu Junyao was a surgical master, a medical genius, young, handsome, and from an illustrious family, yet no one dared to approach him or propose marriage. This was because of his reclusive and erratic nature; the line between genius and madman was but a thought away for him. But ever since he married the disgraced Miss Gu, Dr. Lu transformed into a wife-doting madman, showing off his affection in public and craving physical closeness in private.

When the Gu family faced impending bankruptcy and had nowhere to turn, they sought help from their son-in-law: "For the sake of family, help us find the mastermind..." Lu Junyao hugged his wife, dotingly kissing her slender hand, "Where is my Qingcheng's slender jade finger blackened?"

The Gu family was stunned, "Qingcheng... it was you!" <<less

Because Ki Sihyeon is the only adult I don’t have to tiptoe around. I don’t have to be careful with him. He treats me like a kid—annoying, but he’s not afraid of me. He’s not weak.... more>>

Seonwoo, a mental-type S-Class Esper raised under strict surveillance and control at the Center, was trained to suppress all emotion. Even when other Espers hurled insults or lashed out violently, he never once retaliated. He simply followed orders.

But in front of Ki Sihyeon, a fellow S-Class Esper and his teammate—the only one who ever treated him like a person—keeping his emotions in check became a challenge. After all, he’d been in love with him for a long time.

Yet Ki Sihyeon already had someone. A sweet, kind guide named Yoo Sejin. Because of that, Seonwoo never even considered confessing.

Then one day, Sejin ends up in a vegetative state after trying to save Seonwoo. Wracked with guilt, Seonwoo braces for Sihyeon’s anger...

But instead, Sihyeon says something cryptic.

“Then you’ll have to take Sejin’s place, kid.” <<less

On a bitterly cold winter night, the man who appeared showed no mercy.... more>>

A groan escaped her lips. Her pulled-back head tilted sharply.

Under the crushing grip so strong it felt as though her scalp might be torn, she could utter nothing but a short scream.

“Answer me.”

Her vision was completely obscured, and the flow of air around her twisted unnaturally.

When the terrified woman fumbled, unable to find where to look, he firmly held her head in place with one hand.

On her knees, Ha-yoon rubbed her head against the edge of his thigh and blinked as she looked up at Moo-geon.

“Why don’t you do the thing you’re good at?”

With a gulp, Ha-yoon held back her tears and asked.

“Why… why won’t you cut it for me?”

Instead of answering, Moo-geon rubbed the back of her head with his large hand. Then he abruptly pulled her closer. It only took a moment for her head to be shoved between his legs.

“Ah, the debt my father owes…”

“Yes. Because of your father’s debt, I…”

Moo-geon tilted Ha-yoon’s head back with the hand holding her.

Partially crouching on one knee to meet her gaze, he leaned in close and whispered into her ear.

“I bought your misfortune.” <<less

Wen Wan, who died suddenly from overwork in her previous life, transmigrated to become the concubine of a First-Rank General and refused to get caught up in the rat race. The Grand General went on an expedition for three years, and she lazed around like a salted fish for three years, living a life of carefree leisure.... more>>

Until the Old Madam had a nightmare, dreaming that the Grand General died in battle without any descendants. The Old Madam decided to have the Mistress take two concubines to the borderlands to produce offspring.

On the way, after Wen Wan and the Mistress were separated by bandits, they were rescued by a Junior Lieutenant.

The Junior Lieutenant was besieged on a mountaintop, with one hundred people on his side and three thousand enemy soldiers. He raised his blade and placed it on her neck, saying, "Rather than falling into the hands of the enemy and being humiliated to death, I'd rather kill you with one slash first and free you from suffering."

Wen Wan: "Thank you, you're surprisingly kind!" She braced herself and timidly spoke, "I know a thing or two about tactics for fighting against overwhelming odds, why don't I give it a try?"

Thus, the hundred-person squad fought their way out of the siege and became famous in one battle.

Warhorses in the military camp were dying abnormally. Wen Wan took up her brush and wrote an essay titled "On the Postpartum Care of Warhorses," and in one year, the number of warhorses doubled.

One day, after Wen Wan successfully charmed the Junior Lieutenant, she made a bold statement: "You wait, I'll go back and divorce that husband of mine, then I'll take his money to support you and let you live like an immortal!"

Later, Wen Wan discovered that the husband she intended to divorce was precisely that Junior Lieutenant...

The Grand General smiled faintly, "I hear... you want to divorce me?"

(Rough Officer x Cannon Fodder Little Widow)... more>>

Jiang Nian woke up and found herself in a period novel, a widow whose husband had just died.

Although she didn't appear many times, she was deeply impressed by this character. A few days after the original owner's husband died, she was bullied by the ruffians in the same village. The original owner couldn't bear the humiliation and crashed to death at the door of her house.

If she remembered correctly, this cannon fodder character was the wife of the male protagonist's comrade-in-arms.

The book said that the male protagonist originally came to pay tribute to the original owner's husband, but unexpectedly caught up with the original owner's funeral. The male protagonist solved the ruffians who bullied the original owner, arranged the original owner's funeral, and took the train back to the city. He happened to meet the female protagonist in the book, and the two fell in love, and then they got married naturally.

When Jiang Nian came through, the plot had just developed to the point where she fell into the hands of the ruffians.

**

The biggest regret of Lu Yu's life was that he didn't have time to see his comrades for the last time, and what he regretted even more was that he didn't have time to save poor Jiang Nian.

In an accident, Lu Yu was injured and returned to five years ago. The first thing he did was to rush home overnight. Although he missed his comrade's funeral, he saved Jiang Nian who was about to be bullied by the gangsters in time.

Jiang Nian was the only one left at home.
　　
In order to avoid the tragedy of the previous life, he took Jiang Nian to the army and placed her in the military compound.

His comrade Song Bai came to him to reminisce about the past. Looking at Jiang Nian, who had fair skin and a thin waist, he secretly asked him: "Who is this?"
　　
Lu Yu saw through his thoughts and glanced at him.
　　
Song Bai touched the back of his head, smiled, and shamelessly said: "If she doesn't have a partner, introduce her to me, I..."

That day, Song Bai was kicked out without even eating a hot meal.
And Song Bai's words also made Lu Yu's suppressed desire grow.

Every time he came back from training, smelling the smoke in the house and watching the women walking back and forth in the house, every night, it was like a bone-burning heart.

Especially after Jiang Nian took a shower, she would walk back and forth under his eyes in a thin vest. When Lu Yu smelled the fragrance of soapberries on a woman, his Adam's apple would roll uncontrollably, and his black eyes were filled with crazy possession.

He shouldn't have been interested in her, but he was still interested, and even wanted to keep her in his territory, so that no one could covet her.
　　
People say that rabbits don't eat grass near their nests, but he just wanted to eat this grass. <<less

When Sang Ning opened her eyes again, she found herself transformed into the long-lost true heiress of a wealthy family, abandoned in the countryside.... more>>

Born as the eldest daughter of a prestigious noble household, she had been groomed since childhood to become the matriarch. Yet in the blink of an eye, she awoke in an unfamiliar era. Still, she remained the rightful firstborn daughter.

Her impostor sister prided herself on being refined, boasting of graduating from elite schools and surpassing others in talent? How dare she, when she couldn’t even master music, chess, calligraphy, or painting?

Her family claimed remorse but secretly favored the fake sister? No matter—manipulating household politics had been her childhood specialty.

Accused of lacking manners? Within a month of the young mistress’s return, the entire Nan family was stunned to discover that the supposedly rustic heiress was even more old-fashioned than the family patriarch!

—

The youngest scion of the illustrious He family was a notorious figure in the capital—playful, rebellious, and untamed. Yet, somehow, he found himself inexplicably drawn to a little traditionalist from the mountains.

He took her hand: “This is a handshake—just a greeting.”

He wrapped an arm around her waist: “This is a hug—a gesture of friendship.”

He kissed her lips: “This is a kiss, meaning…”

Flustered, she turned her face away. “You shameless rogue! You’re lying to me again!”

But he pressed his lips to the corner of her mouth, murmuring, “No lies. This means I like you.” <<less
