Lim Jeong-in is a nerd who's used to being treated like he's invisible in the jungle of high school.

He participates in two club activities with his best friend Justin Wong. One is the math club 'Mathleet Society', and the other is the 'Hate Chase Club'.

"Long live the Chase Hate Club."

Writing a ‘book of shame’ that rehashes rumors about the school's top heartthrob, Chase Prescott, was one of the small pleasures for the two nerds.

However, through an unexpected turn of events, Lim Jeong-in's notebook is discovered by Chase.

However, instead of getting angry, Chase shows interest in Jeong-in.

"You're really funny."

"The book? When are you going to give it back?"

"Hmm. When you stop hating me?"

Ironically, the relationship that began with the shame book gradually becomes special, and as Jeong-in discovers Chase's hidden sides, he finds himself increasingly drawn into Chase's world.

[So, do you like me a little more now?]

The truth is that you captivated me not just now, but much earlier.

From the very moment I first laid eyes on you.

Jeong-in fell into confusion as he faced his true feelings that he had deliberately ignored and hidden until now.

Friendship, academics, and a long-held crush.

In this unstable relationship with someone that shakes his entire world, will Jeong-in be able to maintain his place? <<less

Zhou Tong was framed by his junior brother and misunderstood by his master and senior sisters. In anger, he left the sect and joined a new faction instead!... more>>

At that moment, he opened the door to a brighter world.

A seductive and domineering demoness constantly tried to attack, hoping to make Zhou Tong surrender to her charm.

The second junior sister, unparalleled in swordsmanship, was illiterate but surprisingly skilled at writing love letters.

The third junior sister, a money-lover, willingly entrusted Zhou Tong with her secret stash of gold.

The most captivating of all was his stunning new master. She was actually…

…

As Zhou Tong’s new sect flourished and grew stronger, his former master and senior sisters wept with regret.

“Dear disciple, I was wrong. Please come back to me. I’m willing to do anything to make it up to you.”

“Yes, junior brother! Let us belong to you!”

Zhou Tong: “I’m a man of great ambition. How could I stoop to such disgrace? Get lost!” <<less

After being tricked into going on a blind date, Shu Yao bumped into her high school classmate Chen Ye, whom she hasn’t seen in seven years, on the subway.

Once, her best friend and his buddy were sweetly in love, and the two of them could only sit awkwardly and look at each other in silence.

And now, something even more embarrassing happened—

They are wearing the same outfit.

Fortunately, Chen Ye didn’t seem to remember her.

Shu Yao secretly felt happy and was about to grab her bag and run away when someone suddenly passed by.

That person hesitated, stopped, looked them up and down, and suddenly exclaimed with wide eyes:

“You two are still together?! Wearing couple outfit is quite romantic! I believe in love again!”

Shu Yao: “…?”

2.

Faced with various blind dates, between asking for help and pleading for mercy, Shu Yao chose to propose.

“I have no expectations for marriage. Since the photo of us wearing matching clothes has turned into a couple’s photo, and you also need this, how about we cooperate?”

Chen Ye leaned against the table leisurely and asked her: “What do you like about me?”

Shu Yao made up something, but remained calm: “Your occasionally unpredictable state of mind is quite charming.”

“……”

Chen Ye agreed.

The reason was he appreciated those who can insult others elegantly.

3.

After marriage, the two respected each other like guests.

So Shu Yao always thought he began liking her after they were married.

Until a long time later, at a gathering, during a game of truth or dare, Chen Ye’s friend was asked about the most speechless moment in his life.

Without hesitation, he pointed at Chen Ye: “About a year ago, in the middle of the night, he sent me 10 voice messages bragging that he was getting married.”

Other friends gasped and quickly pulled out their phones to ask: “How many people did you send this to?”

“Not many.” Chen Ye leaned back lazily, somewhat regretfully adding, “Too bad my dog doesn’t have a phone.”

Shu Yao: “……”

How would a dog use a phone?

Shu Yao glanced at the man beside her.

Oh no, it seems possible. <<less

When his movie role gets stolen by a connected insider—

A certain CEO: “Which company is investing in that movie? Buy it.”

When his song gets plagiarized—

A certain superstar (on Weibo): “Fake. The original songwriter is @FangHuai.”

When rumors spread that he’s riding on a Best Actor’s fame—

A certain Best Actor (on stage at an awards ceremony): “Without Fang Huai, I wouldn’t be here today.”

Fang Huai: ???

Who are these people?

He’s certain he’s never met any strikingly handsome men before. Instead, he had a few pets—

A fish he planned to cook in soy sauce, a chicken for steaming, spicy rabbit meat, snake soup… Everything was well arranged. But then, they all disappeared.

Fang Huai: “Uh, have we met before?”

Big Shot: “You saved me. You raised me. Have you forgotten?”

Fang Huai: …

He suddenly had a bad feeling.

The Big Shot chuckled softly: “When you were raising me, I hadn’t yet taken human form. You visited me every day, touched me, talked to me… Did you like me? Hmm?”

Fang Huai: ………

His calloused hands trembled slightly.

Wizards.... more>>

They are transcendents who use magic to fight, protect, and save. However, in the world of wizards, talent speaks for itself. The long history of magic has picked up only talented clans, and now the only wizards are aristocrats. That is common sense here in Manalil.

At the Beralt Magic Academy, one of Manalil’s leading educational institutions, the eggs of excellent wizards are gathering again this year.

Yes, except for one person.

A simple boy who gets a lot of looks. A country bumpkin who has nothing to do with the glittering world. There was the only commoner at the academy.

“I want to be a mage.”

The story of a peasant who wants to be a mage and fulfil his dream is about to begin. <<less

"Let's divorce."... more>>

How simple it was. The ease with which the words escaped her lips left Ye-in momentarily stunned.

Once, she had dared to hope—quietly at first, then fervently—that she and he could truly become a family. She had allowed herself to believe, to expect. Only to have that belief betrayed and her expectations crushed. She had forgotten, even if only for a fleeting moment, that this was always the pattern of her life.

"Say that again. I think I misheard you."

Not anger, but an icy calm settled over Tae-heon’s face.

"You’ve used me as you pleased. Now let me go."

"You love me. How do you plan to live without me?"

His dark eyes, so deep they seemed to shimmer with a bluish hue, carried an unshakable certainty. The conviction in his voice stirred an ache of profound loss within her.

"I loved you."

She could no longer afford to. For the sake of the child who would depend on her, she could not allow the humiliation and pain she had endured to touch their life.

She would stop it, no matter what it took. <<less

Yu Sui was deliberately drunk by her "best friend" and nearly taken advantage of, but she was intercepted by Shi Yanzhi, who had been scheming for a long time.

When she woke up and saw a strange man lying beside her, Yu Sui's first reaction was to throw a bank card at him to buy his silence. But in a twist of fate, the man turned out to be the uncle of her fiancé.

Terrified, she even considered breaking up with his nephew, but he clung to her like a sticky plaster.

What Yu Sui didn’t know was that Shi Yanzhi had fallen for her at first sight and had secretly been in love with her for ten years. The moment he returned to the country, his goal was to pluck this delicate flower and place her in his own vase. <<less

Meng Shuyu suspected she could only ever be in “unrequited love.” When she was in love, she always cherished the person as her treasure. However, once the feelings became mutual, she couldn’t help but feel disgusted and immediately distance herself.... more>>

Carrying the label of a “s*umbag” for many years, Meng Shuyu despaired: How come she couldn’t find a man who was both handsome enough to make her weak in the knees and who didn’t take her seriously?

Finally, one day, Meng Shuyu’s dream came true.

***

To win over a person who couldn’t be in a mutual loving relationship, there were three steps:

1. Show your charm in front of her, making her unable to take her eyes away.

2. Ignore and neglect her, making her think “How could he possibly like me” and firmly believe it.

3. Give her a little sweetness. When she suspects that you are in love with her, return to the previous step.

The day he met Meng Shuyu again, Zhou Jun’s plan began.

Long-time childhood friends, Lowell and Julia share a long-lasting connection.

The bond that went beyond the relationship of a prince to a ruling country and a princess of a ruined one.

After ten years of being a hostage, Julia finally returns to her home country...

Only to become a captive in a war sparked by Lowell just two years later.

“…Forget everything about the past.”

“…Ugh!”

His words stabbed me.

More painful than the discreet inner turmoil that was currently tormenting me, his words were even more agonising.

Finally, I closed my eyes.

I could feel the tears trickle down my closed eyes.

“Forget everything and hate me, Julie.”

He had me captive for a long time.

I no longer cried, nor did I struggle.

He chewed me up and tore me apart. If he embraced me, I got f*cked.

‘Goodbye, Romi.’

Staring at the blurry ceiling, I finally bid farewell to my childhood friend. <<less

Su Chen never imagined that he would transmigrate into a cheesy modern urban novel—and become the villain’s lackey? Even stranger, he discovered that as long as he suppressed the protagonist Ye Xuan, he would receive rewards. So during the treasure appraisal plot...... more>>

"Young Master, I think this one is worth buying."

"Young Master, this contract is a scam. We can’t sign it."

"Young Master, something’s off about this woman. She might have been sent by Ye Xuan."

Seo Do-gyeom, the young master of the mansion, and Yoon Seo-won, the son of the housekeeper. Although they were from incompatible backgrounds, Do-gyeom often spent time with Seo-won, using his servant’s quarters as a hideout. Seo-won ended up kissing Do-gyeom, the most perfect being in his world, and fell in love, but for some reason, Do-gyeom left to study abroad soon after. Seo-won intended to pass it off as a one-sided love. However, five years later, on the day Seo-won became an adult and was leaving the mansion, Seo Do-gyeom returned. ... more>>

“I happen to need an omega, would you like to do it?”

“What kind of work is it?”

“Relieving pheromone congestion.”

Seo-won was greatly flustered by Do-gyeom’s proposal to be his pheromone partner, in other words, his s*x partner.

***

“I have someone I love.”

“What?”

“So, I don’t think I can continue this kind of relationship with you anymore… I’m sorry.”

Seo-won demanded an end to this relationship, citing a reason that even he found a bit absurd. To tell the person you like that you can’t be with them anymore because you’ve found someone else you love – it was such a self-mocking and bitter situation. The thought made his eyes feel hot. But if he cried, it would reveal that this wasn’t the real reason he was ending things. His vision blurred, but he held back the tears, determined not to let them fall. While Seo-won secretly bit his lower lip and pinched his thighs, trying to hold back his tears, there was no response from Do-gyeom. An awkward silence hung in the air. That’s when Seo Do-gyeom suddenly asked a strange question.

“Who is it?” <<less

One day, Kisa heard shocking words from a stranger. Pale with shock, she went to confront him and asked,

"The difference in gender between her and me is merely a secondary factor. Am I, in blunt terms, having an affair?"

Kisa could no longer endure this deception.

**

Before her, who was struggling with an oppressive father over the broken engagement, a man appeared like a savior—Seyard, who suddenly became a duke in place of his deceased brother.

"Kisa, will you marry me? To solve each other's problems."

A suspicious man with nothing known about him. However, he was kind, and unlike her father, he supported her.

Sometimes, an inexplicable chill overcame her, but everything went smoothly. Until a letter arrived from her former fiancé.

Ryu Sung-woon, a man seeking a child through in vitro fertilization from his blind date partner. Instead, Su-hwa steps in for the woman who stormed out and offers him a contract marriage.  

“I’ll give birth to your child.”  

After five years, she reunites with her first love. But Sung-woon fails to recognize her—not even realizing she was the intruder who once climbed over the villa’s wall.  

However, on their wedding night, when she expects them to sleep in separate rooms, her husband climbs into her bed.  

“W-Why are you taking off your clothes?” 

"Then, do you prefer keeping them on, Ms. Song Su-hwa?"  

Sung-woon had even come out as a man who preferred men. He didn’t want to be with a woman, which was why he had insisted on in vitro fertilization. So why…?  

“What’s the problem? You said you’d bear my child. It was clearly stipulated in the prenuptial contract and notarized, wasn’t it?”  

Looking into his wife’s wide, startled eyes, Sung-woon smirked in satisfaction. The intruder who had once made him question his own s*xual orientation had walked right into his life.   

How could he have forgotten those dark, pebble-like eyes? He had imagined kissing her countless times.  

“I won’t let you slip away a second time.”  

It seems my preference has always been the same. Back then and now, it’s still you.   <<less

A weekend enjoyed in a high-rise penthouse with a view of the city and a yacht. Even if I spend money like water, my bank balance never decreases, and my garage is filled with various supercars.

Although the problem is that the money is criminal proceeds and the city is a city of crime. However, at the end of the day, those who are alive must live on.

“Hello, beautiful. I’ve been busting my ass trying to catch you.”

However, there’s no time for me to adjust. At 2 AM, a strange NPC suddenly barged in.

“Sit closer. I won’t bite.”

“Bite? What?”

“Is repeating everything I say your habit?”

“……”

“Fix it. It’s annoying.”

But things start to get stranger. The man, who was only pretty-faced but spewed tr*sh whenever he opened his mouth, is an agent from the Crime Investigation Bureau. Using Riley’s criminal record as leverage, he forces me to accept his proposal.

“Then you’re just going to keep walking around like that? Showing off all your chest.”

The man, who seemed like he would chop her head off the moment she became useless, for some reason starts pretending to be a jealous husband. Rumors begin to spread that he and Riley have a romantic relationship.

“You seduced me.”

“Are you seeing things?”

The biggest issue is that even the person involved in the rumor misunderstands their relationship and believes they are dating on his own.

“Will you marry me?”

“No.”

“Playing hard to get. So cute.”

“Excuse me, are you out of your mind?”

“It’s fine. You’ll end up doing it.”

No. I don’t want to.

I never wanted this kind of development. I just want to go back. I desperately want to return to my peaceful, comfortable world where my family is waiting. I want to go back. <<less

For seven years of marriage, Feng Tingshen treated Rong Ci with icy indifference. Yet she kept smiling through it all—because she loved him deeply and clung to the hope that one day, she might warm his heart.... more>>

But what she received instead was his love at first sight for another woman, Lin Wu. She watched as he doted on this new obsession. Still, Rong Ci clung to their crumbling marriage.

On her birthday, she flew across oceans to reunite with him and their daughter, Feng Jingxin, only to find he’d taken their child to comfort Lin Wu instead, leaving Rong Ci alone in their empty villa.

That night, her last ember of hope died.

When even the daughter she’d raised begged to call Lin Wu “Mother,” Rong Ci felt no pain. She drafted divorce papers, relinquished custody, and walked away without looking back—cutting all ties with Feng Tingshen and Feng Jingxin as she awaited the finalized divorce.

Free from her suffocating marriage, she rebuilt her career. The woman once dismissed by high society soon amassed a fortune surpassing billions.

If Xu Fengwu had a color, Xia Ruoming thought it would be a misty, transparent, and sacred water blue, yet in this vast world, she couldn’t hear Xu Fengwu calling her name in any corner.

Just because of an accident, the deceased Xia Ruoming returned to the year of her last confession to Xu Fengwu.

Forcefully touching a th**ny rose would only leave oneself covered in wounds, and she who came back to life deeply realized this point.

Xu Fengwu watched her become cold and distant, thinking she was just playing hard to get, believing that as long as she showed a timely smile and slowed her steps, Xia Ruoming would return to her side.

But when Xu Fengwu looked back, the person of old times, the dream of old times, no longer existed, and there was no longer a person called Xia Ruoming by her side.

The gentle and virtuous, orchid-natured and smart but weak class monitor Chu Suhe.

The outwardly arrogant and overbearing but inwardly fragile and yearning for care young lady of the Jiang family.

The considerate Xiao Qinghan who always put others’ feelings first.

Luo Qingxuan who always followed behind her, seemingly carrying secrets unknown to others.

The moonlight couldn’t illuminate her life, but she already had stars willing to fall for her, and that tenderness that originally belonged to the moon was now possessed by the stars.

The day Léa's family from the workshop decided to leave by boat to escape the threat of war, she was given the task to return the sword entrusted by the leader of the Knights Templar in place of her father, who was taking care of her mother who was about to give birth. Thus, Léa had to go out into the heart of the war.
However, as soon as she arrived with the sword firmly on her back, she witnessed the death of the leader. In the face of danger, she meets Baltha, the beautiful knight she has dreamed of since childhood.

But it wasn't the time to indulge in such sentiments.
The sword had lost its owner, and the atmosphere at the Knights Templar was somehow strange.

"It is dangerous to go alone. I will take you there."
"Thank you very much, Sir Baltha. How can I repay this favor..."

What Léa, who had returned to the workshop with Baltha, witnessed was a gruesome mu*der scene.
The only things that remained were the four year-old Rachel, and the shocking news conveyed by her younger sister...

'We have no choice but to silence every single person who has seen it!
Shouldn't the mission dedicated to God come first?'

That? Is it because of the sword the leader has entrusted to them?
The Knights Templar... Did they really kill her parents because of that sword?

'Should I bury the two of them?'

Miss Ruan Ningyu, a distant relative of the Xie Family, was as beautiful as a hawthorn flower, delicate as jade and soft as a flower, yet she committed the scandalous affair of eloping with Young Marquis Shen. On the road of their elopement, she was personally captured and brought back to the capital by her cousin, Xie Ling.... more>>

Xie Ling, the eldest legitimate grandson of a noble family, strictly adhered to etiquette and teachings, and was also rigid and pedantic. In his eyes, she was flirtatious, frivolous, and wanton, the type of woman that he, aloof as snow on a high peak, most despised. After she was captured and brought back to the capital, he subjected her to the family law.

Thus, the first thing Ruan Ningyu did after becoming the Empress was to haphazardly play matchmaker, using her imperial power to forcibly grant him a wife. Xie Ling’s wife was well-educated and polite, a noble lady from a prominent family, and they shared a deep marital affection.

Later, she sent a maidservant to plead with Chief Minister Xie, who by then held immense power over the court, proposing an exchange of benefits to spare her life. The man was silent for a long while, then instructed his subordinates.

“My wife prefers quiet and must not be startled. If any irrelevant people disturb my wife’s peace again in the future, you will be held accountable.”

Compared to his wife, who was respected by the common people, she was merely the Empress who brought disaster to the country and calamity to the people, deserving ten thousand deaths. She thought, she had probably never once truly caught his attention.

Reborn back to the time when she was young, Ruan Ningyu only wanted to stay far, far away from this powerful minister cousin of hers and not repeat her past mistakes. On her way to escape the Xie Mansion, Young Marquis Shen, whom she had toyed with and then abandoned in her previous life, relentlessly pursued her. The seemingly pitiful Seventh Prince, whom she had nurtured, was actually dark-hearted and scheming to possess her…

Little did she imagine that one day she would actually pluck Xie Ling, this “flower from a high peak,” watching him grovel and plead before her, gradually going mad. <<less
