I transmigrated into a book.... more>>

I got turned into the lowest succubus in the Holy Light Continent.

My system told me that my task was to put the boss of this world back on track – the Holy Son in the Holy Light Continent was supposed to have fallen into a demon after being exposed to the darkness of human nature, and became the target of the protagonist’s crusade in the future.

However, the time of the fall has passed, and the Son remains pure and flawless.

My job is to be the snake in the Garden of Eden, to seduce him into falling.

I tried my best to sneak to the Holy Son and guide Him to see the living hell and the various colors of the world.

Finally, I had to admit decadently: This guy is indeed a pure-blooded Holy Father who is dedicated to good. I even wondered if the system had made a mistake.

In desperation, I gave up my dignity as a straight man, took on the role of a succubus, and appeared on his bed with my clothes half-covered.

The Holy Son put on my robe and said warmly: “My good friend, be careful of catching cold.”

Me: …My good friend, damn it!

When I returned to my room and was taking a shower and worrying, I saw the Holy Son appear in my room with scarlet eyes, an evil smile, dark wings spread out, and he lifted my chin with his index finger.

I was ecstatic and did it.

After finishing, I heard the gentle and familiar voice of the Holy Son coming from outside the door: “Good friend, why don’t you close the door?”

Me: ? ? ?

Time Stopped for a Thousand Years! ... more>>

The Female Leads Have Darkened! Transmigrated into another world, time remained frozen for a thousand years.

Why do these female leads seem like they've been replaced by different people?

He hasn't done anything yet...

Shen Tang decided to completely cut ties with Jiang Chengyu. She packed up all her belongings from his villa and took them with her.... more>>

Jiang Chengyu: “What’s this act about now?”

Shen Tang blew out the smoke from between his fingers. The smoke drifted in the air as she smiled lightly. “It’s not an act. I just want to end our boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.”

Jiang Chengyu looked at her. “Then what kind of relationship do you want?”

While touching up her makeup in the mirror, Shen Tang replied, “A legal marriage. If one day you come begging me to marry you, I might consider it.”

Jiang Chengyu suddenly laughed. Beg her to marry him? Quite the attitude. He didn’t believe in marriage—he would never marry anyone.

________________________________________

When her friends heard Shen Tang had broken things off with Jiang Chengyu, they felt sorry for her. “It’s so hard to even know someone from Jiang Chengyu’s circle. And he treated you so well—how could you bear to let that go?”

Shen Tang didn’t respond. Precisely because it was so hard—like a mirage—she knew he would never give her marriage. So when she realized she had fallen for him and was sinking deeper, why tie herself up in a cocoon?

________________________________________

A year after their breakup, on her birthday, Shen Tang got a call from Jiang Chengyu.

Ever adaptable, Jiang Chengyu said, “Tangtang, marry me.”

Shen Tang replied, “Sure. Hold on. A lot of people are chasing after me these days. Let me check what number you are.” She deliberately paused for a few seconds. “Mr. Jiang, you're number 250. Remember your number—I'll notify you when it’s your turn.”

Chen Yuan had transmigrated, finding himself in the body of a cannon-fodder patriarch from a typical brainless power cultivation novel.... more>>

Yes, he was now one of those endlessly self-destructive villainous patriarchs.

In this role, whenever a woman from his family fell in love with the protagonist, he was obligated to go to great lengths to obstruct them. Whenever the protagonist stumbled upon a rare treasure in a secret realm, his job was to attempt to snatch it—not personally, of course, but by sending family disciples to serve as mere fodder for the protagonist’s growth.

Now, the prized daughter of his family, painstakingly nurtured as a heavenly prodigy, had decided to sever all ties with the clan to elope with the protagonist.

"Patriarch," the young woman pleaded earnestly, "we truly love each other. I beg for your blessing! If you refuse, I, Chen Xiao'er, am willing to leave the Chen family forever and sever all connections with it!"

Chen Yuan remained indifferent.

After a long silence, he spoke slowly: "In that case, leave behind the family's spiritual eyes. Guards, carve them out!" <<less

To overcome the grief of losing his mother and to forget a first love that could never be, Sewon impulsively sets off on a trip to Istanbul.... more>>

There, Sewon meets a man who seems to live in a world entirely different from his own.

Brought together by chance, the two begin traveling as companions, and the more they talk, the more they find themselves drawn to each other…

Under the pretext of alcohol, Sewon confesses to him that the friend he once liked was a “man.”

“Want to come to my room? Tell me if I’m misunderstanding this.”

“…It’s not a misunderstanding.”

The next morning, after an impulsive night with the man, Sewon wakes up and happens to glimpse a message that arrives on the man’s phone.

「Having fun on your trip, honey? Don’t forget to bring back the gift you promised~!」

It was, without a doubt, a sweet message from a lover waiting for their partner to return from the journey.

“Memories from a trip should be left behind at the trip.”

Sewon realizes there is a hidden meaning in the man’s words and, overwhelmed with shame, flees back to Korea.

One year later,

Sewon encounters the man he’d left behind at the travel destination once again.

“Gong Sewon-ssi.”

“Yes.”

“How many Gongs do you think live in Seoul?”

And this time, as his workplace superior.

------

Sewon clenched and unclenched his fists, feeling his mouth go dry.

"I don't need someone with grit, effort, and diligence. I need someone who can work in sync with me without needing me to explain everything from scratch. That's why I requested someone with experience."

Dojun looked at Sewon with an expressionless gaze. There was no warmth in the man’s eyes as he treated Sewon like a colleague or a stranger. Only now, a year later, did Sewon realize how warmly Dojun had looked at him back in Istanbul.

“It’s not that I opposed you because of personal feelings.”

“…”

“It’s just… my team doesn’t need someone like Gong Sewon-ssi.” <<less

At two years old, Su Chen was kidnapped by traffickers. He was fifteen when he finally returned to the Su family, the wealthiest family in Haishi. However, his second sister framed him as a thief, leading to his tragic downfall. Depressed and hopeless, Su Chen eventually met his end.... more>>

But fate gave him a second chance. Reborn on the very day his second sister framed him, Su Chen made a decision: instead of draining himself with internal struggles, he would unleash his madness onto others.

A moment of madness brings momentary joy. Constant madness brings endless satisfaction.

When his second sister accused him of being a thief, Su Chen immediately called the police to have her arrested instead.

When the Su family forced him to live in a tiny, damp, windowless storage room, Su Chen set a fire and filled the entire house with smoke, suffocating the whole family.

When they treated him differently from the rest and refused to give him any allowance, Su Chen went live-streaming, picking up tr*sh in the wealthy neighborhood—dragging the entire Su family into his spectacle. <<less

"The most unnecessary existence in my life would be the Empress."... more>>

Aristena, who as a nominal Empress, was treated like her husband's burden for a lifetime.

She lost her life in place of her husband, who was to become a hero in the war against monsters, wanting to be of help at least at the end.

The moment she opened her eyes after closing them in distant pain…

Somehow, she was alive. Moreover, in a body that looked about 8 years younger.

Aristena, who had lived an unfortunate and miserable life that no one would glorify, wanted to live a different life this time.

But...

'Why is this person next to me? And why am I not wearing a stitch of clothing?'

Clothes scattered on the floor. No, to be precise, seeing her own clothes torn and strewn about, she was shocked.

And... she almost lost her breath in horror when she realized that the man lying next to her was her ex-husband who would become the future Emperor.

Even when she was his wife, they hadn't consummated their marriage.

With the body of an unmarried woman...

No, after deciding not to get involved with him, to do such a thing!

A pair of languid violet eyes gazed at Aristena. Soon, he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close.

"Aristena. This time, don't try to leave me."

Finally, she realized that in this life too, she had become entangled with this man.

And in a completely different way from her past life.

“To see me in this condition must stir old emotions within you.”

As the silence stretched, Leo broke it with a tone laced with sarcasm.

His words seemed not only aimed at Charlotte but also at himself, and the bitterness in his voice left Charlotte no choice but to force a response.

"..It’s been a while.”

She wanted to call him Leo, but the word was lodged in her throat, too painful to utter.

"Hey."

His voice seemed to smell of cigarettes. It was a rough, deep voice that crawled along the damp floor.

The man was so tall that Yebon had to crane his neck painfully just to meet his gaze.

"You shouldn't say you'll slap someone so carelessly."

Yebon cautiously opened his tightly closed mouth to ask.

"...Why?"

The man, who cast a sidelong glance at Yebon, who was full of caution, placed his hand on his shoulder and leaned in close. The scent of heavy musk mixed with a sharp fragrance seemed to envelop Yebon's neck.

"It would be a waste to just let this go."

Expectantly. <<less

Dori found himself possessing a white fox in an abusive BL novel.... more>>

The novel he was in was called “Haban, God’s Dori”.

As for what kind of book this was…

[Haban grabbed the ankle of the fox desperately trying to escape. Despite Dori trembling pitifully, he indifferently tightened his grip around the neck, and…]

‘Haban, you’re not even human!’

How could he treat such a small, cute, and lovely white fox like this!

At that moment, Dori made a decision.

I will pave the way with flowers for my favorite, my lovely white fox!

But.

Life, no, a fox’s life doesn’t go as planned…

‘…O-Oh, please stop!’

“White Fox, come.”

In the end, was it impossible to deviate from the original plot?

Dori, who was dragged to the imperial palace by Haban, decided on a different plan.

Once it was revealed that Dori was a white fox beast, the true ab*se would begin… Thus, he would pretend to be a ‘real’ fox! Then, find a chance to escape!

…However.

“Where is my fox trying to go, dressed up like this?”

The main character, Haban, was too enamored with me.

“Are you trying to leave the village and me?”

Wonwoo, who only briefly appeared in the original story, became obsessed.

“As the rumors say, you’re cute. Can I touch you once?”

Even Yun-gak, whose nature was unpredictable.

For some reason, all sorts of people were getting involved!

Will Dori be able to escape from the dark story and finally grasp the happiness he desires? <<less

Ji Zhen has a lover named Bo Qingyu. Although Bo Qingyu comes from a poor family and has a cold personality, he is handsome and talented—someone Ji Zhen pursued with great effort.... more>>

He has stood by Bo Qingyu from his lowest point until now.

However, at this moment, Ji Zhen encounters a strange group of people.

They claim to be players and say that Ji Zhen’s world is an infinite dungeon with an SSSSS difficulty rating, and that his boyfriend is the future dungeon boss.

The players have painstakingly uncovered Bo Qingyu’s regret. To clear the dungeon mission, they used an item to go back to when Bo Qingyu was still human.

Bo Qingyu’s regret is that he never ended up with his true love.

And that true love is not Ji Zhen.

Prompted by the players, Ji Zhen sees Bo Qingyu get injured while saving his true love, and even flash a gentle smile at that person—something Ji Zhen has never seen before. Only then does he realize the players were telling the truth—he is the stumbling block on Bo Qingyu’s path to his true love.

He decides to let go.

To survive, the players decide to fulfill the dungeon boss Bo Qingyu’s wish.

After helping Bo Qingyu get rid of the boyfriend he doesn’t love, the players introduce Ji Zhen to a new lover to prevent him from getting entangled again, and then start helping Bo Qingyu pursue his true love.

But they see the seemingly emotionless dungeon boss’s eyes redden upon seeing Ji Zhen with his new boyfriend.

Warnings:

Dungeon boss is the top (attacker); later ghost boyfriend appears; the receiver has some “heartthrob” traits.

Wife-chasing fire-and-brimstone drama, fierce male rivalry.

Due to infinite dungeon setting, there are some infinite-dungeon elements, but the focus is on the romance.

Essentially melodramatic; heavy suffering for the receiver first, then for the attacker; extreme control themes—enter with caution. <<less

After a mysterious snowstorm, the mutant apocalypse arrived.... more>>

An Yun, a person with inferior genes who feared death, was forced to join the “Protectors” because he seemed to possess some mysterious powers.

They were a group of terrible, aberrant people who were greedy for power, cruel, and prone to infighting.

Upon his arrival, An Yun immediately caught the attention of the top boss, Qin Zhilu, making the other Protectors so jealous that the number of people who wanted to kill him could form a long line.

Rumors spread that he was the pampered canary kept by their boss, a rumor that An Yun himself started to believe. To survive, he worked hard every day to act coquettish, although his attempts were somewhat stiff.

Qin Zhilu glanced at him and said, “Seems obedient on the surface.”

Yet he couldn’t resist reaching out to pat his head.

In the Canary’s first battle, the Protectors placed bets at the beginning, betting on his certain death. Living up to their expectations, he was severely damaged, but at the brink of death, he burst forth with a sliver of vitality and turned the tables!

The most brilliant hunters often disguise themselves as prey.

If only near-death experiences can awaken him, then he does not mind acting weak.

After awakening, An Yun put out fires all around the apocalyptic world. He originally only wanted to curry favor with his Commander, but inexplicably, he became a savior god step by step.

[Human genes have been compromised; please reclaim the energy core resource and abandon the city!]

[An Yun: Refused. The Commander’s orders are to save everyone.]

[A large number of young girls are missing from the slums, and the people behind this have a deep background.]

[An Yun: Regardless of status, settle accounts with all involved.]

[A super-aberrant entity maliciously altered some people’s time.]

[An Yun: If you like time so much, you might as well fall into an eternal time loop.]

[The AI’s consciousness has awakened, and a large number of humans have been captured.]

[An Yun: Retrieve the server and train it again.]

[A book began to circulate in the Main City, and all Protectors have fallen to it.]

[An Yun: Such foolish mind control tactics, I…]

[The book is titled “God An Yun’s Fantastical Abilities.”]

[An Yun: …What is that?]

[It’s the observations and summaries of you by the Protectors. They have all joined God An Yun’s Church.]

[An Yun: …]

Thank you, he didn’t even know he had those abilities.

From beginning to end, his only goal was to hug the Commander’s thighs and save his own skin. <<less

"Xu Ze, I hate you for abandoning me! But I also love you. So I'm locking you up by my side so you can never leave!"

"Xu Ze, do you like me, or Big Sister? You certainly like me, right? After all, you told me that you would love me until death do us part."

"Xu Ze, I know why you abandoned me. It's because of this man, right? Then, I will kill him right now, so don't leave me, okay?"

The protagonist: "Brother Xu save me! I'll give you the system, I'll give you all of my treasures, so please don't send your woman to kill me."

Xu Ze, who was tied up, shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

My brother, it wasn't that I didn't want to save you. Even I cannot protect myself. <<less

By the time he returned, the Lin family had already adopted a boy named Lin Tianyang. Lin Tianyang, who had ingratiated himself with the family, took every opportunity to suppress, manipulate, and frame Lin You, eventually leading to Lin You’s tragic death.

In his previous life, Lin You was humble, cautious, and eager to please, yet he was constantly criticized and used as a foil to highlight Lin Tianyang’s supposed excellence.

“Look at Tianyang, and then look at you. Are you even close to being as good as him? Why are you still trying to compete with him?”

“If you were even half as sensible as Tianyang, we wouldn’t treat you like this. But look at what you’ve done.”

Fine! After being reborn, Lin You resolved to stop trying to please the Lin family at all.

Qin Yan, the young master of the Qin family, suddenly regained memories from a past life. To his shock, he realized he was living in the world of a novel—and not just any character, but a bootlicking villain doomed to a tragic fate.... more>>

In the original plot, at his own engagement party, his fiancée eloped with the male protagonist, humiliating the Qin family and causing them to lose all dignity. Overwhelmed with rage and a thirst for revenge, Qin Yan repeatedly tried to retaliate. However, the male and female leads joined forces and ultimately killed him.

What followed was even worse—the entire Qin family, one of the most prestigious families, was eradicated, leaving no survivors.

Faced with such an unbearable future, Qin Yan’s heart burned with defiance. How could the once-mighty Qin family, a top-tier powerhouse, meet such an end? His grandfather was one of the three great Martial Gods of Great Xia, and both his father and second uncle were Martial Saints. The family boasted countless masters at various levels of power. Why should they fall to the so-called child of destiny?

Determined to rewrite his fate, Qin Yan resolved to shatter the plot entirely. He summoned his fifth uncle, a Martial Saint stationed at the border, back to the Qin family. From that moment, he launched into a ruthless killing spree.

Destiny’s heroine? Her entire clan would be annihilated.

The half-step martial master who sided with the so-called son of destiny? He wouldn’t escape death either.

Under Qin Yan’s wrath, heads rolled, and rivers of blood flowed.

Even the fiancée who had betrayed him was left in despair. Filled with regret, she knelt before him, her face streaked with tears. “Please, spare me. I’ll do anything you ask. Just let me live…”

Qin Yan responded with a harsh slap to her face. “You b*tch. You’re not worth it.” <<less

Contrary to the rumors, Hangeon turns out to be unexpectedly kind, and the two grow closer and closer.... more>>

They become the most special friends to one another and the kind of boyfriends who want to see each other every day.

But reality forces them apart, and the promise to reconnect a few months later is shattered.

Eight years pass without contact.

At 28 years old, Lee Won is living with PTSD and an inability to feel arousal. Returning to his hometown of Busan to pursue graduate studies, he unexpectedly reunites with Seo Hangeon…

I spotted a figure in the distance and blinked a couple of times. Someone was lingering around in front of several rows of stacked milk crates.

Seo Hangeon was standing there.

‘…?’

No matter how much I tried to make sense of the situation, only one answer came to mind: he had set this up to talk to me deliberately.

Hangeon slowly walked toward me and gently snatched the milk crate out of my hands. I furrowed my eyebrows and lowered my gaze. The dark navy knit vest of his school uniform rustled as he moved. His angular thumb brushed by for a moment before revealing two pills.

“The yellow one’s for digestion, the white one’s for headaches.”

“…”

“Take whichever one’s more urgent.”

It seemed like I had to accept them, so I held out my palm. My mind was practically soaring into another dimension.

“Won-ah.”

The voice I’d longed to hear made me look up instinctively. Seo Hangeon was staring at me with an expressionless gaze.

“Don’t acknowledge that bastard.” <<less

In the winter before he was due to graduate from university, Su-hwa ran away from Jin-woo.... more>>

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.”
