Ellouise, a woman quietly raising her niece on her own, encounters an unexpected stranger while on vacation.... more>>

He’s infamous for falling in love faster than anyone else—

and now this unpredictable man proposes a contract marriage. His goal? To seduce a duchess who only entertains married men. And Ellouise, apparently, is the perfect decoy.

“I’ve always believed a proper proposal must come with a ring.”

Marcus blocked her path and pulled out a small box from beneath the table—a luxurious ebony case wrapped in black velvet. Inside was:

“A 122-carat royal diamond.”

The words that rose to her throat were, “Are you trying to buy me? Is this supposed to be some kind of insult?”

But…

“…it was far too much money to scold him for.”

No—it was far too much diamond.

Had one of her students come to her saying, “Miss, some man offered me money to marry him,” she would have advised them to run the other way without hesitation.

But this wasn’t a classroom.

This was real life.

And real life? That’s a whole different game. <<less

The second son of the Davenport Ducal House and the top student at Arkansis Royal Academy. And officially, the best s*umbag at the Academy, second to none.... more>>

A man who seemed like proof of an unfair world. So different from herself, who was desperately trying to escape her own tr*shy family.

Tilia Ambrose hated Ilex Davenport.

But who would have known?

That she would end up in the same bed as that prestigious s*umbag. <<less

Seo Eunwoo, the only Beta in a high society dominated by Alphas and Omegas.... more>>

She dared to marry dominant Alpha Cha Taehyuk while having a body that could not give birth to Alpha children.

“She'll remain celibate for the rest of her life. That’s a Beta, not a woman.”

Taehyuk didn’t hide his disgust towards her for pushing for this unwanted marriage.

But starting with their first night, he is swept away by rut. He takes her and grudgingly admits to himself.

She’s a Beta that dared to insert herself into his life, but her body was addicting and very much his type.

The punishment for coveting him torments Eun-woo every night.

“I’ll show you. What an Alpha is, what rut is, and what pheromones are.”

Until she, a Beta, conceives an Alpha’s child. <<less

A man whose soul was traded among the gods without his consent was forced to go to another world.... more>>

He was told that he could have his wish fulfilled to make up for taking him there without his consent, and he asked for “chīto nouryoku o kure (give me a cheat ability / チート能力をくれ)”.

However, what he was given was not a cheat powerful, game-breaking ability, but a moderately high position and a moderately high ability.

“Who asked ‘chii to nōryoku o kure (Give me status and abilities / 地位と能力をくれ)’? I said ‘chīto nōryoku o kure (Give me a cheat ability / チート能力をくれ)’!”

Starting from a mishearing of God, he struggled to make his life in the other world, and if he didn’t have cheat ability, he at least tried to do something with knowledge cheat, but it seems that things are different in the other world…?

This is a tale of man who does not have overwhelming cheat abilities, but makes full use of his moderately high position and moderately high abilities to develop the remote area that has become his territory, while struggling moderately. <<less

The cherished youngest daughter of the Estern Duchy, Beatrice, was thoroughly satisfied with the husband she had chosen for herself.... more>>

“I never realized that having a wife would be such a bothersome thing…”

That is, until she happened to overhear her husband casually utter those words to his lieutenant.

“It feels like Caesar doesn’t love me anymore. What should I do, Sister?”

In an effort to uncover her beloved husband’s true feelings, Beatrice seeks advice from each of her four older sisters in turn.

“Are you suggesting we sleep in separate rooms? …Very well. Do as you wish.”

But for some reason, every time she follows their advice, the situation only seems to get worse.

Amid misguided counsel and growing misunderstandings, will Beatrice be able to win back her husband’s love? <<less

She knew it was wrong, yet she wished for it again and again.... more>>

People do not change easily. The girl who cried as a child, yearning for her parents' love, grew up with her body maturing but her heart remaining the same.

Even so, she vowed,

‘I will never live like my mother…’ <<less

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I prepared a table full of dishes, waiting for my wife, Lin Muyao, to come home and celebrate together.... more>>

However, she sent me a message saying, "Hubby, I promised my parents I'd go home to celebrate with them. You eat by yourself, okay? Next year, I’ll definitely spend Mid-Autumn Festival with you."

But her first love had already posted on his social media moments earlier—not only did he share a nine-grid collage of the two of them, but he also added a caption: "True love means that even if you can't be together, your hearts will always remain connected."

Lin Muyao not only lied to me but also liked his post.

I ate my meal in silence, then casually left a comment: "Wishing you both a happy ending."

The next moment, Lin Muyao called me, her voice urgent and sincere as she explained, "Hubby, I didn’t mean to lie to you. I was just afraid you’d be upset... I just felt sorry for Wang Chuan being alone..."

I let out a soft scoff and, for the first time, hung up on her first.

Since her heart and mind were entirely focused on her first love, I chose to let go and give them my blessing.

Yet, when I no longer loved her, she was the one who regretted it the most... <<less

Right after I found out I was pregnant, my husband died.... more>>

And I was mu*dered too.

When I opened my eyes, I had returned to two years ago.

“Just so you know, this marriage isn’t my choice.

I don’t sleep with men, even if you manifest as an omega.”

My arranged marriage partner said the exact same thing to me again.

“It’s really confusing, you know.”

Then he closed the distance between us and kissed me, brushing gently with his soft lips.

“I must be insane.

To go into rut because of such a weak pheromone…”

I don’t want to be used anymore.

I don’t want to be mu*dered again.

Please, divorce me.

Jeong Minchae: After being mu*dered right after learning about his pregnancy, he returns to two years in the past. He refuses to be tormented and used again because of drug side effects, or to be killed again.

“I’d like the prenup to state that if I don’t manifest as an omega within a year of marriage, we will divorce. Because this marriage is meaningless.”

Baek Mugyeong: Unexpectedly became Executive Director of DS Motors due to a deal with his grandfather, and is now forced into an unwanted marriage.

"Wouldn’t we know if we could be a real married couple... if we did it?"... more>>

At that single remark from her friend, Shirley faltered.

After all, she was already struggling with the question of whether she and Damian, her fated fiancé since birth, could ever truly become a ‘real married couple’ rather than just friends.

"Of course, we’ll become husband and wife."

Her kind and gentle fiancé would always say frustratingly naive things, completely unaware of her inner turmoil.

"Then break off the engagement."

Her family gave her the chance to decide.

"So, you’re saying your fiancé doesn’t feel like a man to you?"

This man, who she didn’t even know, pierced through Shirley’s hesitations with startling clarity.

***

One sweltering summer night, while she lay asleep in her room, someone came to her.

"Let’s do something fun, Shirley."

Creak.

The bed dipped as someone sat down on one side.

"Something fun…?"

"Yeah, something fun."

Was it just her imagination, or was his voice filled with an intense heat?

"And what would that be?"

"You’ll like it, Shirley. I’m sure of it."

The hand that slid along her pale leg, illuminated by the moonlight, carried an unmistakable danger.

"What?"
"Whether we can or can’t, we’ll find out once we spend the night together."
The voice whispering in her ear sent a shiver through Shirley’s body.
"Show me that pretty thing." <<less

Kwon Yijae, a director of the British defense industry company "Quantum," visits Korea to oversee the confidential Project K. There, he encounters Shin Jeha, an esper who has been dying for five years due to the absence of a guide with a compatible wavelength.... more>>

“He doesn’t seem like an esper.”

With an appearance too frail and youthful to be an esper, Shin Jeha, an esper with a deathly pale complexion that looks like he could collapse at any moment, begins to fiercely pursue Kwon Yijae after a chance encounter.

“Director. I can endure it. I’ve endured all this time, no matter how much it hurt… You can do whatever you want. I’m an esper… and espers… don’t die.”

To stay with the sadistic guide, Shin Jeha enters into a contract with him.

The frequency and method of guiding are determined based on the guide’s preferences and convenience.

An utterly unjust form of contract. <<less

Wang Zhenxing found himself transmigrated into a world composed of numerous urban fantasy novels. ... more>>

To his surprise, he became a handsome and wealthy "diamond king" admired by many.

At the very start, he discovered that the protagonist's stunningly beautiful mother secretly harbored feelings for him. However, the plot's setting painted a grim picture—he was nothing more than a disposable supporting character, meant to serve as cannon fodder for the novel. Even worse, he lacked any remarkable abilities!

Damn. What a situation.

Just as despair loomed, a system appeared and presented him with a choice.

[Option 1: Follow the original plot and play the role of the kind-hearted character who supports the protagonist’s mother. Maximize your usefulness, and then meet your inevitable end. Reward: "A grand funeral," complete with the protagonist personally engraving the words "Good Brother" on your epitaph.]

[Option 2: Defy the plot. Reject the role of a mere supporting character. Embrace your destiny as a villain and eliminate the protagonist! Reward: "Regain your abilities" and acquire the "Villain Aura."]

Was there even a need to deliberate? 

The choice was clear. 

Option 2, without a doubt! <<less

“This Holy Son of the Absolute Void Holy Land is way too pathetic, isn’t he? Is it really worth it to grovel like this for a woman?”... more>>

Su Mo was curled up under his blanket, holding his phone and reading a novel while criticizing its content.

But in the next moment, a blinding white light flashed before his eyes, and the scene around him suddenly changed.

When Su Mo regained his senses, he realized he had become the Absolute Void Holy Land’s Holy Son from the novel!

He had transmigrated? And into the body of a simping Holy Son, no less!

Su Mo was stunned for a moment but quickly came to his senses. He wasn’t someone who would grovel! There was absolutely no need to follow the original plot of the novel!

Grovel before the Saintess? Ha, no way!

Now that he was here, not only would he not grovel, but he’d go all in with this Saintess!

After all, he was a villain! Living as he pleased was the best way to go!

With that thought, Su Mo approached the Saintess.

“So, you’re the Saintess, huh? I’ll show you what it means to be indifferent! I’ll show you what it means to give me the cold shoulder!”

Su Mo charged forward with all his might and boldly went for the Saintess!

When the protagonist of the novel heard the news, he instantly lost his composure, feeling as though the sky was collapsing.

That woman was supposed to possess a divine physique, and now she had been ruined just like that?

From that day on, Su Mo’s journey down the path of a great villain only became more intense. <<less

Lee Shinwoo, a ballet dancer with an exceptional physique but only average in talent.... more>>

One day, he is abruptly notified of a transfer from the old dormitory to the new one.

“Lee Shinwoo. Dance department special student. Right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“I had no idea you would have such a pleasant voice.”

At the new dormitory, he meets Kang Tae-eon, the third son of the Taerok High School owner’s family and a well-known figure on campus who is a role model admired for his looks, grades, and behavior.

“Where are you going?”

His eyes met Kang Tae-eon’s, who seemed to interpret his retreating steps as a feeble attempt at resistance

At that instant, a hand clamped around his throat. A burning sensation erupted across his face.

The sound of flesh being struck echoed in his ears.

In the silence that followed, all that remained were Lee Shinwoo’s muffled sobs.

“Open your eyes.”

“…….”

“You have two options.”

Their relationship, which began with one-sided violence, picks up again eleven years later after a chance encounter...

“Bad memories are usually the first to be forgotten, right?”

“…….”

“Not at all. You haven’t forgotten me.” <<less

Baek In-woo and Cha Kwon-joo have been s*x friends since their high school days for over a decade. After another rendezvous at the hotel suite, In-woo makes a shocking declaration to Kwon-joo, that he is set to marry his brother’s fiance instead.

Although Kwon-joo responds indifferently to horrifying news brought up by In-woo, he senses that the time has come for him to end his long-standing unrequited love affair.

However, regardless Kwon-joo’s resolve, In-woo keeps coming at him more aggressively than before, confusing him… <<less

[ Become Maxim von Waldeck’s wife in name only. ] ... more>>

That was the simple mission assigned to Daisy, a secret agent of the revolutionary army.

Maxim von Waldeck, a mercenary born out of wedlock, known as the royal family’s hunting dog.

He was being thrown into the line of fire as cannon fodder, and his chances of surviving the war were slim. No woman was willing to step into the role of becoming a widow.

The plan was straightforward: act as his wife in name during the war, then escape before the kingdom was conquered after their defeat.

If she could pull that off, she’d walk away with a hefty sum and retire comfortably.

“I’ll be back soon, wife.”

Yes, it was nice meeting you. Rest in peace.

“We’ll consummate the marriage when I return.”

You dream big, don’t ya? May you pass on peacefully.

She assumed it was just his hopeful dream of a blissful future.

…But then.

[ Maxim von Waldeck Achieves an Unprecedented Great Victory! ]

Things went completely opposite of what she had expected.

[ National Hero Grand Duke Waldeck! What do you most look forward to upon your return home? ]

[ Holding my beloved wife, Daisy, in my arms. ]

No way, that can’t be right.

This has to be a misprint or something, she thought.

But Maxim von Waldeck was a man who took his promises as seriously as his life.

“I’m back, my wife.”

And with those words, he suddenly pulled her into his arms.

Daisy’s eyes darted around in confusion at his unexpected behavior.

“Shall we head to the bedroom now?”

“Pardon?”

He whispered softly in her ear, a lazy smile painted on his lips.

“Forgive me, but I’m in a bit of a hurry.”

He was already heavy and hot, the front of his trousers straining as if they were about to burst.

‘Is this bastard some sort of pe*verted lunatic?’

Could Daisy safely divorce him before her cover was blown? <<less

Christine was an elite member of a guild who had excellent commissioning skills, but she couldn’t break the curse that caused abnormalities in her body. She suffered her whole life and was only exploited by the guild she worked for.... more>>

She infiltrated the Black Fang Guild, which was said to be full of people who inherited the blood of beasts, to retrieve the jewels that would relieve the pain caused by the curse, but she lost her life when the internal injuries she had suffered went beyond her limit.

But what was happening?

When she opened her eyes, she had returned to a time when she was relatively healthy.

In addition, the pain caused by the curse had surely subsided the moment she touched the gorgeous man who held her when she fell.

‘I might be able to break my curse if I approach that man.’

Christine deliberately approached him to find a clue to lift her curse, and succeeded in seducing him.

“I said I wouldn't hurt you, but you're not cooperating.”

“Ah…”

However… She had no idea that the man she spent the night with was the hidden power of the Black Fang Guild.

***

Christine regretted bringing up the spy conversation.

She knew how cruel the Black Fang Guild was to those who tried to harness their power.

As expected, Edgar’s eyes shone coldly when she mentioned the spy.

“If I find a spy… I’ll kill them.”

“…”

But for some reason, he looked at her frightened lips and added something he wouldn’t normally say.

“If the spy is pretty, I might let it go.” <<less

“No way… Oscar Pascius?”... more>>

“Hic, sob! Y-Yes, Master. Your disciple is here…”

Of all people, I became Cielo Esteban—a villain who ab*sed the main top character from childhood and eventually died!

At this rate, I might end up dying, crushed under the weight of my karma.

If there's any silver lining in this misfortune…

In the original story, “Oscar” was twenty years old, but the “Oscar” before me now looked around ten.

In that case…

Could I change the future?

“I-I'm sorry. I'm really sorry…”

“No, no. I wasn’t talking to you. …I’m the one who’s sorry. I apologize.”

At first, it was only to avoid death.

“Y-You’re not going to abandon me, right…? You’re really not going to abandon me? Can I stay by your side, Master?”

“I never said I was going to abandon you.”

But as time went on, I couldn’t ignore “Oscar,” who resembled my own childhood so much.

So Cielo made up his mind.

Not just as a way to escape death,

but to genuinely love this child.

Years passed.

Unlike in the original story, Oscar grew up to be a bright child.

And unlike the original story, Cielo committed no evil deeds.

Maybe that was the problem?

“Your lips are swollen, Master.”

“Ah…”

“I saw that Lord Doberman’s lips were swollen too.”

“…”

“What did you two do?”

The child I raised so carefully had become… odd.

“Y-You said you wouldn’t touch me.”

“Hm?”

“You said you wouldn’t touch me.”

“That was when you weren’t in your right mind.”

“…”

“If you’re fully aware and capable of rejecting me, then I’ll touch you. So… if you don’t want it, bite me. Then I’ll back off.”

The person who was once a friend… started becoming obsessed.

…Where did it all go wrong?

Day 39 of drifting on the deserted island.

A handsome man with a sturdy body was washed ashore by the sea.

Vividly colorful, a colorless man visited Neunghwari in summer.... more>>

"Are you a pe*vert?"

A burst of laughter, huh, scattered above Nagyung's forehead. Whether it was a yes or a no, she didn't know. The ambiguously smiling expression made her nerves stand on edge.

"A pe*vert?!"

"No."

"..."

"I'm not a pe*vert."

The low voice resonating right in front of her felt strangely gentle. And what about the sophisticated and heavy scent of cologne stimulating the tip of her nose?

So, from the beginning, this was all this man's fault. This strangely attractive man was guilty.

"I think I'm really drunk."

Suddenly, an utterly nonsensical impulse arose.

"I want to kiss you, Prosecutor."

Only after the words left her mouth did she realize what she had said. She regretted it, but thinking she couldn't take it back, she decided to just be even more brazen.

"...Can I?"

Buzz Buzz.

The sound of cicadas chirping from somewhere was loud.

Just for this summer. Even if she did something reckless, swept away by this hot emotion, she felt like she wouldn't regret it. <<less
