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

[Hello, Mr. Joo Hee-beom. This is the Korea Ability Association.... more>>

As of March 8, 2025, you have been classified as a Guide.]

At twenty-four, long past his teenage years, Hee-beom suddenly awakens as a Guide.

He isn’t thrilled about his new classification—

And then, appearing before him is I-young, the S-Class Esper who has never had a Guide in his life.

"You're really my Guide, aren’t you?"

"…My Guide?"

I-young is delighted to have finally found a Guide with a 97% compatibility rate.

But for some unknown reason, Hee-beom keeps rejecting him…

"I'm not doing this. I won’t be a Guide."

"Hee-beom-ah, I like you."

Hee-beom-ah, I like you.

Hee-beom-ah, I like you.

Hee-beom-ah.

I like you.

Hee-beom’s mind blurred.

It felt like his body was floating.

His feet were on the ground, but he couldn’t feel them.

Everything was just… empty. Fuzzy.

Snapping back to his senses, Hee-beom stammered.

"W-what, why are you saying something like that… just from holding hands?"

"Why? What’s wrong with saying I like you?"

"It’s weird!"

I-young tilted his head, as if he was the one who didn’t understand.

"It’d be weirder if I didn’t like you."

"……."

"I like you, Hee-beom-ah. So much. More and more, every single day." <<less

She imagined a high-quality life surrounded by admirers, but when she opened her eyes, she found herself convicted of an unforgivable crime and sentenced to exile in the Black Tower!

In this world, all sentinels are insane to varying degrees, and the Black Tower is the worst of the worst! The Central Tower of the Federation never assigns Guides there—because no Guide is willing to live among madmen and end up as nothing more than a pile of bones!

As a pure human—now extinct in this world—Su Qiqian is lucky that none of the other Guides here have spirit animals, allowing her to keep up her disguise. As the first high-ranking Guide ever exiled to the Black Tower, the moment the mad dogs caught wind of her arrival, they went wild behind the scenes, lusting after that pure, untouchable goddess on a pedestal...

Su Qiqian turned on the bedroom light—and her pupils trembled. What the h**l is this?!!

When Muxi encountered that female zerg in the underground district,... more>>

The female zerg was covered in blood and was in a miserable state. Its pair of heterochromatic eyes stared blankly at him, reminding him of his exotic pet cat at home.

Later, Muxi discovered that the other party was actually a ferocious large beast, nothing like his perception of a purebred cat.

As he looked at the female zerg beside him, carefully retracting its claws and bone wings, Muxi hesitated:

Should he throw away this zerg he had personally trained?

Shi’an turned back, “Male Lord, are you going to wear your pajamas?”

“Yes.” Muxi kicked away the bone wings that had wrapped around him to protect his robe.

Shi’an: “?!!”

Shi’an stretched his body, displaying his strong, rippling muscles, “Male Lord, the pajamas aren’t warmer than I am.”

Muxi: “……” That’s true.

“Welcome to the Polluted Apocalypse.”

Those were the first words that Wen Bei had heard upon entering the Hotel.

This was the story of the dark family inherited by Wen Bei by coincidence.

…

“There is no home outside the safe zone.”

No one can prevent themselves from being contaminated.

It is that every soldier would always leave the last bullet in his/her gun for himself.

That was until a unique, dilapidated Hotelbuilding appeared…

Rumours spread all over that as long as one slept in that Hotel for a night, their pollution level would drop!

Thus, countless bigwigs tortured by rising pollution levels began rushing to the Hotel. With the large demand, it became very hard to find a room.

Employee No. 1: “I was originally a very talented mercenary, but then I was tortured by my increasing pollution level. I had planned to eliminate myself. Fortunately, I met my current boss and became the Hotel’s security guard.”

Employee No. 2: “I had once rescued tens of thousands of people and escorted them to the safe zone. But in the end, I was forced to leave the safe zone because my pollution level went too high. It was my current boss who picked me up and gave me a job, asking me to clean the Hotel’s Toilets every day.”

Employee No. 3: “I had almost merged myself with an S-class creature to destroy the world. But, thanks to the boss, I was allowed to become the building manager of the Hotel.”

A certain madman: “I like my boss and I hope that my boss will take me back as his boyfriend.”

Wen Bei said perfunctorily: “… Pay ten thousand crystal stones for one night, there’s no need to talk more.”

The certain madman silently paid for the amount: “I will buy you for a hundred years first.”

Wen Bei’s eyes widened: “I’m talking about hotel’s accommodation fees! Well……!”

[End of the World Zombie + Mommy Boyfriend + Evolution + Superpower + Double Purity + Sweet Pet] ... more>>

The heroine is a zombie. She is very weak in the early stage and relies on the hero to survive. She will evolve and become stronger in the later stage.

The heroine is sickly, possessive, and vindictive. In the early stage, the heroine is raised as a goose girl, and in the later stage, the parents’ love deteriorates. Both of them are dark and twisted, hugging each other for warmth, and have weak moral concepts.

As a member of the haunted house zombie NPC, Jiang Zhaosu was unfortunately killed because of a couple’s show of affection.

When she woke up again, she became a real zombie and needed to eat raw meat and drink blood to survive.

Her first prey was a beautiful and weak man.

Then…

Then Jiang Zhaosu was captured on the spot by the man. The man seemed to treat her as a pet, washing her face and dressing her every day, feeding her, and even cutting his own flesh and blood to feed her.

Jiang Zhaosu, a zombie, was carefully cared for by the man and her skin was smooth and smooth, and she was healthier and more lively than before when she was a human.

Until one day, the man’s eyes began to look strange when he looked at her.

A human was actually sniffing her neck: “Baby, you smell so good, can I have a bite?”
