A man known only by rumor, shrouded in mystery—Kang Moochan.... more>>

"Whether I can truly suppress the monster inside me and protect her to the very end..."

A man who loved one woman to the point of ruin.

"Just as you needed money, Lee Eunsoo, I needed you. Let’s leave it at that."

A woman who had nothing but debt, pride, and her body—Lee Eunsoo.

"...I asked him to buy me. For as much as possible. At the highest price."

Life had been so hard she had never once loved anyone.

"Please don’t make me feel guilty, sir."

—From the novel—

"What brings you here at this hour, Eunsoo?"

Relieved by the familiarity in his voice, Eunsoo lets out a soft sigh and manages a faint smile. "It’s nothing. I just haven’t been able to come for a few days. I wanted to stay by your side..."

Moochan tries to close the door on her, his tone cold. "That’s not necessary anymore. Go home."

Startled by his rejection, Eunsoo quickly blocks the door with her foot. "Why are you acting like this, sir?"

"I told you to leave."

Determined, Eunsoo pushes past him. Displeased, Moochan furrows his brow and grabs her arm, stopping her from coming any further.

"You’re hurting me, sir!"

"Eunsoo, you seem to be under a big misconception. Do you think there’s something between us? We were bound by a contract—nothing more, nothing less. And now that the contract is over, you can’t just barge in like this."

Frozen by his coldness, Eunsoo can only stare at him with wounded eyes. She knows he’s never given her any hope, but did he have to push her away so harshly?

"We can just extend the contract."

She wants to stay by his side, even if it means lowering herself, even if it means being the villain.

"I need the money anyway."

With a forced smile, Eunsoo tries to hide her pain. Moochan’s gaze is icy.

"And you need me, too, sir." <<less

A cute, caring, and busty childhood friend in a mutual love. Shatter that illusion!... more>>

New semester of the second year.

I ended up in the same class as two interesting individuals.

The boy's name is Iizuka Masato.

An introverted loner. In class, it's unclear what he's thinking, perhaps trying to appear aloof by building walls around himself.

The girl's name is Suzumiya Kiyoka.

Fairly cute, with breasts quite assertive.

She seems quiet, always chatting cheerfully with her female friends.

What's interesting about these two is that I often hear rumors that they're childhood friends and are dating.

However, upon closer observation, they don't seem to be dating at all.

Iizuka acts arrogant and boyfriend-like only in front of Suzumiya.

In contrast, Suzumiya seems bothered.

Usually, Iizuka is the only one initiating conversations, while Suzumiya rarely speaks to him and shows no signs of paying attention to him.

Yet, the classmates around them believe the two are close and dating.

I was enjoying observing these two, but somehow I, who was supposed to be just a bystander, got caught up in their commotion. That kind of romantic comedy. <<less

In the devastating novel where the family of the female protagonists eats up the family of the male protagonist, she was reincarnated as the younger sister of the male protagonist who died while being tortured.... more>>

I wasn’t even his sister. I was a commoner adopted by the Duchess, who was shocked when his sister died.

‘I don’t want to suffer!’

The male lead pitied me, who has nightmares every day and cries a bucket full of tears.

Maybe I’m the reason why the male lead is turning to a villain?

The closer I get to death, the more frightened I become.

‘I have to change my destiny.’

Otherwise, there is no other way than to conform. <<less

Seok Mun-pyeong, the 3rd Team Leader of the Soul-Slaying Unit—one of the most peripheral posts in the entire Demonic Cult—didn't think much of it when the War of the Demonic Dragons, the contest to select the cult's next successor, was suddenly canceled. Even the outlandish news that the Cult Leader, a figure revered as the sky above the sky, had accomplished Rejuvenation was just a distant rumor to him.... more>>

He never imagined that this monumental event would become a fire dropped squarely on his own feet.

“Naturally, I’m not asking you to perform the standard duties of a Majeong. As you well know, you are not suited for such work. The role I have for you is something different. I want you to be His shadow, and at the same time, His tail.”

'No way... when he says 'Him,' does he mean the 'Him' I'm thinking of?'

Seok Mun-pyeong was thrown into confusion. It sounded like madness, but the official's expression was dead serious. A chill began to creep down his spine.

'So, a Demonic Shadow is 'His' shadow, and I'm supposed to be both the shadow and the tail? A 'tail' means to track and report on His movements... Is he really ordering me to spy on the supreme Cult Leader?!'

“Mr. Ho-woo.”... more>>

“Yes?”

“Have you had dinner?”

“I’m about to eat.”

A simple instant meal was something Ho-woo was used to. He lacked the cooking skills to prepare dinner, and as a modern-day office worker, he didn’t have the energy to learn cooking.

“I…” Oh-yul pressed his lips together for a moment as if choosing his words, then spoke again.

“I think I’m going to make too much food.”

“…?”

Not ‘made’ but ‘going to make’ – what an odd choice of words. Ho-woo tilted his head slightly as he looked up at Oh-yul. The esper before him wore a slightly troubled expression.

“So, would you like to have dinner together?” <<less

A week before the wedding, my fiancé ran away.... more>>

So, I married his younger brother.

Danel, who had been a monk, renounced his vows to marry me.

We were a couple brought together by circumstance, with nothing in common—except for our nightly obligations to conceive an heir.

Honestly, I didn’t have high expectations for Danel.

To be frank, I approached our wedding night with the mindset of entering a convent.

After all, he had spent half his life in a monastery, and I doubted he even knew where to put what.

Yet that night, for the first time in my life, I passed out during s*x.

I thought, perhaps, this marriage wasn’t so bad after all.

If a duty-bound act could be this enjoyable, spending the rest of my life like this didn’t seem like such a bad idea.

We’re married, after all—being his wife couldn’t be too bad, I reasoned.

At least, that’s what I thought.

Until one late night, when I caught my husband pleasuring himself while licking between my legs. <<less

Wang Dian passed through. He wore a suit and held a bottle of red wine in his hand. On the left was a group of ferocious generals with swords in their hands, and on the right were civil servants with long robes and wide sleeves.... more>>

They all knelt down and called him “Your Majesty”.

Wang Dian clenched the wine bottle in his hand and shouted at them to rise on their feet.

At the start, it was still okay to be called the emperor. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the bedchamber, he saw a man who looked exactly like himself.

"I didn't know there was such a strange thing in this world." The man raised his eyebrows and smiled.

I originally wanted to go up to the Ninth Heaven to embrace the bright moon, but I didn't expect you to lie drunk on top of the clouds.

Vain, hypocritical, cold-blooded, a s*umbag… all his flaws were perfectly masked by a charming facade.

Day One: Xie Quan tore up his friend's love letter, and Lu Nanyang punched him.

Day Two: Xie Quan mocked him coldly, and Lu Nanyang fought with him.

Day Three: Lu Nanyang ran into the school’s medical office with a troubled face, asking for treatment:, "Doctor, Can I Still Be Saved?"

Sitting inside was Xie Quan, the top medical student. He calmly pushed up his glasses and replied,

“No. Bury yourself.”

Lu Nanyang: “……”

Once, Xie Quan was like a finely cut diamond, with 58 polished facets reflecting the cold light of exquisite self-interest.

Later, he acted like a madman, disregarding his own life and death, willing to endure heartache just to hold that one hand.

In the dim night, breaths were hot and scorching.

That hand gripped back, fingers tightly interlocking.

Ryuuzen Yuki is going to kill someone.... more>>

Specifically, the three corrupt figures in the television industry who mu*dered his childhood friend. The need for revenge burns deep in Yuki’s soul. He is only able to keep sane by clinging to his three self-imposed rules for revenge:

No matter what happens, act alone.

Do not involve anyone other than your targets.

If you fail, admit your crimes without complaint.

The stage for Yuki’s revenge will be Kakuriyo Island, a small tidal island south of Kagoshima Prefecture whose population was wiped out long ago in the bizarre mass-mu*der incident known as “The Beast of Kakuriyo Island case”. Though officially solved, the Beast of Kakuriyo Island is still the subject of many unsolved mysteries, not the least of which is the sheer, inhuman brutality of the crimes.

A television production crew comes to Kakuriyo Island to film a true crime special in which Mikumo Echika, an up and coming singer-songwriter and the descendant of the island’s former head priestess, will visit her family’s former home and discuss the incident that claimed her birthright. Yuki, having infiltrated the production as an AD, plans to trap them all and kill all three of his targets on the island with his own two hands.

But his plans are derailed when his first target is slain – by something else. Burning with rage that one of the men who killed Naoko will never suffer for his crimes, Yuki vows to confront both the killer and the remaining victims.

But his new enemy isn’t a mere human. The Beast of Kakuriyo Island is very real, and if Yuki seeks to achieve his revenge, he must learn what it is, how it operates… and how he can work around it and still manage to get away with mu*der.

Life plummeted in an instant after her father’s death.
