“I? Your husband.” A fatal marriage scandal involving a star actress. The counterpart was Dojun, her paper husband who she thought had died from an illness. Haejoo had been married off to him like a commodity for her mother’s debts. However, the husband from her memories three years ago wasn’t him.... more>>

“And the person who passed away?”

“My twin brother.”

Was it all a scheme by the two brothers? Dojun’s low, piercing gaze tore through Haejoo.

“Shall we get a divorce? Or do you want to live with me?”

This reckless game of fire sent flames rushing up Haejoo’s feet. She was clearly ensnared in his trap. This was the beginning of a marriage that felt more like a swamp—struggling only pulled her deeper in. <<less

Bracing himself and reassuring his trembling self, Joo Taehyun slowly lifted his head. He could only hope that his expression was as indifferent as his body, which no longer reacted to the other’s pheromones. ... more>>

“I want to stop.”

Seo Baekhan usually wore hanbok instead of coats. Sometimes it was a durumagi, sometimes a cheollik, and today, like now, it was a dopo.

It had been the same when they first met. Back then, Seo Baekhan had casually draped the robe over his jacket, and Joo Taehyun had found it fascinating. Even though he was seven years older, it wasn’t as if he was that old, yet the traditional attire suited him so well.

The unusual sight had inevitably drawn Joo Taehyun’s gaze again and again, and by the time he realized it, his heart was already completely stolen.

But now, it was truly over.

Lingering over moments the other wouldn’t even remember, wallowing in loneliness all by himself.

Assigning unnecessary significance to something as simple as natural breathing.

All of it.

“…Hyung, I want a divorce.” <<less

She has lived for over ten years as the childhood friend of someone she has unrequited love for.... more>>

“Judith, there is nothing in the world more precious to me than you.”

He whispers kindly with a smile, but their relationship is just that of cherished friends, nothing more.

Asel Fedelian is a cruel person.

Even if not everyone thinks so, Judith evaluates Asel as such.

Because he doesn't have a cruel heart, he is even more cruel.

She was tired of hoping alone and getting hurt alone.

So Judith decided to cut off Asel.

***

As a means to push Asel away, she got engaged to another man.

"I'm getting engaged to you, but that doesn't mean I cherish you as my fiancée."

An engagement without love, which was exactly what she wanted.

But even though it was clearly like that—

“What would you do if I said I like you?”

Why does Chase keep approaching her?

“I want to be by your side.”

Moreover, why is Asel trying to shake her now? <<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

The only S-rank guide in the country, Yeon Haegum, has someone he has been secretly in love with for a long time—Seo Munhyun, an S-rank Esper who has cared for him like a brother and father figure since as long as he can remember. ... more>>

He taught him how to eat, read, write, and even how to guide. However, Munhyun is now engaged to the daughter of a prominent government official, a fact he has yet to tell Haegum.

“…Hyung, are you really getting married?”

“Haegum, even if I do get married, nothing between us will change.”

Just as Haegum is preparing to give up on his unrequited love, Munhyun’s twin brother, Seo Munhyeok, appears.

Desperate to find a guide compatible with him to boost his career and status, Munhyeok sees Haegum as an essential part of his plans.

“Why not use me as a substitute”

“…….”

“Since me and Munhyun are identical twins, our bodies look exactly the same too.”

Faced with Munhyeok’s tempting offer, who looks just like Munhyun, Haegum finds himself awakening to a new pleasure…

“I have no intention of sharing you with someone else.”

The controlling and obsessive Seo Munhyun.

“I don’t mind if the three of us do it together, as long as the guiding works.”

The carefree Seo Munhyeok, who sees guiding and pleasure as a fun combination.

Caught between the two brothers, which one will Haegum choose? <<less

Han Joohyuk, the most admired student on campus.... more>>

His glances sometimes lingered on Yeseo — was it just coincidence?

As fate would have it, a series of moments alone together revealed a different side of him — warm, gentle, kind.

Yeseo, bright and pure like sunshine despite her hidden emotional wounds, couldn’t help but fall in love with him.

“I like you, really.”

“I’m sorry. I’ve never thought of you as anything more than a good junior.”

Three confessions. Three rejections.

But one day, after seeing her with another man, the very person who rejected her picks a fight.

“I never said you could move on to another guy so fast.”

“You don’t want me, but you don’t want anyone else to have me either… is that it?”

Han Joohyuk was a walking red flag.

He said he couldn’t date her, but got jealous and lustful when she was with someone else.

“Every time I see you, I get hard. I want to hold you. I want to sleep with you.”

Torn and shaken by his unpredictable and obsessive emotions, Yeseo begins to realize the painful truth:

To her mother — who favored her twin brother and gaslit her — she was always the lesser child.

And to the man she loved — she’s something too precious to give away, but never cherished enough to keep.

Will she finally accept the truth — that he never really loved her? <<less

I found myself transmigrated into an R-19 romance fantasy novel, where the male lead's overwhelming charm stood out.... more>>

It was a story about two protagonists, who grew up in completely opposite environments, falling for each other so deeply that day and night blurred together.

I was just an older sister figure who briefly appeared during the male lead, Rian's, childhood.

Our parents were acquaintances, so we met a few times, but after that, we had no further connection. In the novel, my existence was so insignificant that even my life or death was unknown.

I had no intention of interfering with the original storyline, but the moment I saw Rian smile at me, I made up my mind.

I wanted to help Rian in any way I could so that he would never lose that smile.

To slightly alter the original story, I tried to prevent Rian's family from being embroiled in a rebellion.

However, all my efforts were in vain, and in the end, Rian's family fell to ruin, just as the original story dictated.

***

Ten years later, I reunited with Rian.

The beautiful boy I once knew had grown into a man far more handsome than I had ever imagined.

“I think I’m going to get married soon.”

“Really? Congratulations.”

At the mention of marriage, Rian smiled brightly and congratulated me on my upcoming wedding.

However, a few days later, the man I was supposed to marry suffered a major accident and broke off the engagement.

My next fiancé also met with an accident, and the one after that ran away due to gambling debts, leading to yet another broken engagement.

As a result, rumors spread throughout society that marrying me would lead to death or injury.

No one wanted to marry me.

Amidst all this, the one who reached out his hand to me was none other than Rian.

In despair, a man appears before her.

“The moon is so bright tonight. It makes you not want to go back inside.”

Noah Velcarid, a man renowned as an eccentric despite his elegant appearance.

Kind, yet ruthless and cruel to his enemies, he says:

“I find even your pinky finger to be lovable.”

He turns Karina’s world completely upside down.

Meanwhile, her former fiancé Phyllis, who had left her, comes back to find her again.

As she looks into his pleading eyes, Karina thinks:

The moment to put an end to this tiresome unrequited love,

Might have quietly arrived without her even realizing it. <<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."

Later, even the villain couldn’t help but marvel,

"This little brother is dependable. When there’s trouble, he’s the first to step up."

"He even went after my fiancée..." <<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.

[I have something urgent to tell you. It’s a very serious and dangerous issue regarding the man who may become your husband.]

Kisa's heart raced. What is this man hiding from me? <<less

“I’m pretty sure I asked you this clearly the first time we met. Which one of the two people in the photo is you?”

Kang Jin-han (27, su), who has never once experienced dating in his life, installs an online dating app on a whim and ends up meeting Cha Jeong-yul (32, gong). Jin-han, who somehow managed to keep up months of conversation with the highly suspicious Jeong-yul—a man with no profile picture and an unknown name—gradually begins to find his only solace in lonely city life through him.

Months later, at their first in-person meeting, Jin-han is rejected the moment they lay eyes on each other.

“Sorry, but Jin-han-ssi, you’re not my type.”

Jeong-yul firmly expresses his unwillingness to meet again, revealing that Jin-han had misunderstood every question he’d been asked up until now. But Jin-han, desperate not to lose the one joy in his daily life, blurts out,

“Well, we could still have s*x, couldn’t we?!”

Unwilling to let go of Jeong-yul, Jin-han tries to negotiate any way to hold onto him.

“Hmm, my way is a bit… unconventional,” Jeong-yul replies, and Jin-han learns the real reason he’s been using the app.

“You might end up crying. Are you okay with that?”

Knowing nothing about SM, vanilla, or anything in between, Jin-han agrees to Jeong-yul’s proposal with nothing but blind faith that it’ll somehow work out. And so begins a relationship, with Jin-han completely unaware of the feverish emotions it will awaken in his heart. <<less

Yeon, the maid of Suin — the emperor's fiancée and the esteemed daughter of the Duke of the Western Kingdom — entered the palace twenty years ago as the young emperor’s nanny after he lost his parents.... more>>

As time passed, the emperor grew into a handsome man, but Yeon, who was still unmarried, remained by his side.

“You still think of me as your little baby, don’t you?”

"Your Majesty."

"Suin cannot enter the palace unless you bear my child."

Ryu smirked, curling his lips into a sharp, cold, precise smile that cut like a knife.

Yeon swallowed hard when his fingertips brushed beneath her chin.

"If you carry my child, I will no longer be your baby anymore. Because then… I will be the father of your child." <<less

“What exactly do you want to do with me?”... more>>

Nam Seonwoo had prepared counter-responses, expecting questions like ‘Are you saying we should date because you like me?’ or ‘How can you think about that when we’re high school seniors?’ He waited for his voice.

“I want to hold your hand.”

But the answer that came back was very different from what he’d expected.

“I want to see you without making studying an excuse. Even on weekends.”

“We’re… already doing that now.”

“But you won’t let me hold your hand.”

When he curled his fingers into his palm as if hiding them, it felt like his gaze was physically poking at his palm.

“And…”

Unlike his intensifying gaze that was almost suffocating, his following words disappeared lightly into the air.

“When I say there’s no one at home, you won’t come over.”

“…”

Seonwoo’s face burned hot at his words, which seemed to already know how extremely cautious he was about being alone with Kang Jihan in his room.

“Besides helping with cleaning or lending coins, I can do better this time.”

At these sudden words, he recalled how Kang Jihan once put a 100-won coin in the public phone and left. The clinking sound of coins in the machine, the cleanly wiped classroom blackboard. And the praise note that only said ‘good job.’

The once-clumsy secret helper revealed himself and said:

“So make me your ‘Manito’ again.” <<less

On the day his father, the head of the Ma family, died and the mansion was engulfed in flames, Ma Jae-seung lost his memory.... more>>

In the midst of not remembering anything, the only person left by his side was Shin-woo, the suspect of the incident.

Ma Jae-seung’s rut came suddenly when he was suffering from endless anxiety and loneliness and was unable to make friends due to his title as the successor to a leading group.

And so, when he opened his eyes, Jae-seung was not alone.

Sehwa turned his head away as if he didn’t want to deal with them. It was an obvious provocation, an everyday occurrence, but just because he was used to it didn’t mean he didn’t care how they treated him. He knew they were doing it because they want to see him lose his temper, and he didn’t want to be swayed by their provocation, so he just let it slide.... more>>

Sakura, Hongdan-i, and sometimes Samwol-i…

He’d told them hundreds of times not to call him by that nickname, but no one listened to the words of a mere creditor, petty hustler, or drug dealer. Still, Sehwa spoke tirelessly every time.​

My name is neither Sakura, nor Hongdan, nor Samwol.

Sehwa,
My name is Lee Sehwa. <<less

She spent the night with her childhood friend.... more>>

If there had been no feelings involved, it might have been fine. But for Iliana, who liked her childhood friend, Lucian, that night was filled with selfish emotions.

She wanted to flee and pretend it never happened, but when Lucian came directly to her house, she realized she wouldn’t be able to avoid him.

“Do you… not remember?”

“Embarrassingly, no.”

He said he didn’t remember.

And on top of that—

“You’ll help me fix my habit, won’t you?”

He even asked her to help him fix his drinking habit.

Where exactly was this one-sided love heading? Though she felt uneasy, Iliana couldn’t bring herself to refuse Lucian’s request.

It was the defeat of someone in unrequited love.

* * *

“Did we… kiss?”

Even though he didn’t remember, Lucian’s troubled gaze, which he couldn’t hide, stirred her heart.

She thought she had already fallen as far as she could, but it seemed there was still further to fall.

“Ah, no, um…”

The drunken haze that had clouded her mind instantly cleared.

Her fingertips trembled as she struggled to suppress the flood of words that she couldn’t even ask him to forget.

Lucian’s gaze, which had been watching Iliana as she fumbled for words, narrowed.

As Iliana desperately tried to get her muddled mind back to normal, she suddenly froze at the warmth she felt against her cheek.

The leisurely touch of his hand was searing.

“Should we try again?”

“W-what…?”

“The thing I can’t remember.” <<less

Model student Lee Won has a one-sided crush on Seo Hangeon, the school’s most popular delinquent. Just catching a glimpse of him from afar makes Lee Won’s day, and his happiness doubles when, by a stroke of luck, he ends up in the same class as Seo Hangeon in their third year of middle school. 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

On my birthday, my younger sister, who had run away with the man who was supposed to be my husband, returned.... more>>

"Is it alright if I stay at the main house, sister?"

Just as my hand was about to fly at her brazen request, an unexpected man intervened.

"No. That would be a bit difficult."

My younger brother's best friend. The ultimate king of being cheeky and subtly annoying people, Lennox Diorne!

"You're s*upid and cute. Are you just going to end up embarrassed like this? Getting caught up with your sister who returned after 3 years?"

At his teasing whisper, I unknowingly wrapped my arms around his neck.

"You're here now, Darling?"

Without realizing it was an impulse that would backfire on me. <<less

Thanks to being a debutante a year later than others, Marcella entered the Foundation Day party with great determination. On what should have been the best day of her life, she felt utterly shabby wearing shoes that seemed completely out of fashion. As she anticipated the worst debutante ball, Emperor Nell approached her.... more>>

“Marcella.”

She was so surprised that she choked even though she hadn’t eaten anything.

“Since I made a promise, I should keep it.”

Huh? Have we met before?

“Then how many times must I confess before you’ll accept it as sincere?”

At Nell’s question, Marcella pondered. Just how many times would she have to say it to end this ridiculous business?

“…100 times.”

“100 times?”

“Yes.”

Marcella thought he obviously wouldn’t be able to do it.

How could he do such a bothersome thing? You don’t even really like me.

Rather than waste time on such nonsense, it would be faster to look for another young lady.

“So you’ll stay by my side while receiving 100 confessions from me.”

Seeing Nell’s unwavering eyes, Marcella finally realized she had made some kind of mistake. <<less

At eighteen years old, the young marquis of the Duke’s manor, Xu Chun, had been yearning for a male companion.... more>>

He wanted someone older, who would be considerate.

He wanted someone good-looking; that was a given.

He wanted someone skilled—after all, the first time must set a good precedent.

So he could enjoy the boundless pleasures of life!

After much deliberation, he set his sights on Emperor Jiu, who was traveling incognito.

Xie Yi became emperor before he was even a month old;

At twelve, he allied with the court’s civil officials and his royal uncle to force the regent empress dowager to relinquish power, securing his own reign smoothly;

At fourteen, during the invasion by foreign tribes, he joined forces with enraged border generals to weaken the regent king, who held absolute power and could cover the sky with one hand;

By sixteen, he was already the undisputed emperor of the nine regions;

The emperor governed with ease, not meddling in trivial matters,

Approaching thirty, Xie Yi began to feel;

Life was rather dull;

Being emperor for too long was no fun, he didn’t want to live anymore.

Until he met Xu Chun, the notorious hedonistic heir, in the capital city.

It started with physical attraction, they bonded over kindness and gratitude, love grew from the heart, and they hit it off instantly.

They actually found their lives quite enjoyable together

Until one day, Xu Chun discovered…

That the emperor, who dwelled in the profound imperial palace, whose authority was unfathomable,

Was none other than Jiu Ge, who told him bedtime stories every day and coaxed him to write floral notes. <<less
