Ji Je-hyuk, 21 years old. Because of his tall stature and neat appearance, he’s been constantly confessed to and was dated by many. Still, his relationships always ended up with him getting dumped.

Je-hyuk truly wanted to change that, but because of trauma-induced compulsions, connecting with someone was too difficult for him.... more>>

“Want me to teach you how to love?”

Yoon Si-hoo is popular, but despite having flirted with dozens, he was never in a relationship. And so, Je-hyuk drunkenly accepts the offer from his only friend since high school.

They gradually started holding hands, experiencing intimate moments while they practiced dating, the contact and the stimulation were things Je-hyuk had never felt before, and he realized he liked Si-hoo. Afraid of losing him, Je-hyuk, while harboring an unrequited love, begins to hope for reciprocation from Si-hoo, who seemed to be opening up to him at one point.

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.

A limp wife of the Great Prince, Kim Yi-seo. She married the Prince at the age of twelve, and after a decade of indifference, she was beaten into submission.

My sister died.

She and I were identical twins.

I saw her face as she lay in the coffin. That face—it was mine, too.

Throughout the funeral, there was no word from her boyfriend.

Eun-sae, how could you have loved someone so heartless?

And then I found out why he had cut off contact with her.

He had announced his engagement to another woman.

I couldn’t forgive him.

So I decided to become her.

Just wait. You must suffer just as much as she did.

I’ll become a scar in your life.

But that man, why does he keep reaching out to me as if he's trying to save me?

Could it be that he……

Two years ago, Baek Sanghee (Ji Geonoh) caused a stir due to a mutual assault incident with a fellow actor and enlisted in the military as soon as the matter was settled. Even after his discharge, public opinion remained unfavorable, his contract with his previous agency was terminated, and his debts from penalties continued to grow. With Baek Sanghee himself lacking the will to make a comeback and no one seeking him out, a return to the entertainment industry seemed unlikely. At that moment, a newly established agency, SSIN Entertainment, proposed an exclusive contract with unprecedented terms.... more>>

“The principal is 1.4 billion won, with 1.13 billion won in interest accrued over two years and three months. Of that, 780 million won has been repaid, leaving a remaining debt of 1.75 billion won.” Seo Hanyeol tossed the documents he had been reviewing onto the table. “Let’s use that 1.75 billion won as Mr. Ji Geonoh’s signing bonus.”

A sudden laugh burst from Baek Sanghee. Seo Hanyeol watched him curiously, a smirk spreading across his own face. “Why are you laughing?”

“I was wondering if you’re starting a charity instead of an entertainment company.”

“You came here knowing full well, didn’t you? That I’m the only one who’d throw that kind of money at you right now.”

“Still, I didn’t expect you’d treat me this generously.”

“If you think this treatment is generous, you should also consider how harsh the alternative would be.”

Seo Hanyeol, the CEO of SSIN Entertainment, who cleared Baek Sanghee’s massive debt in one fell swoop under the guise of a signing bonus, was actually someone who had become a sort of non-biological brother to Baek Sanghee long ago due to their parents’ remarriage. The relationship between the two, which had been fraught since their high school days, became steeped in a complex mix of affection and resentment over the course of ten years. From their first meeting, Seo Hanyeol showed an unusual interest in Baek Sanghee and eventually offered to be his sponsor. <<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.

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

I endured a cold marriage, hoping that one day Ains would finally notice me…

“Please… let’s get a divorce.”

I was exhausted from a love that would never be returned. The conclusion of a one-sided love could only be disastrous.

“But I have a condition. I want a substantial amount of alimony.”

More than anything, facing death, I needed money to cure my illness. So, I decided to get a divorce.

Though there were lingering effects, my illness was treated, and I was ready to live my life.

“Cecilia, why did you hide the fact that you were sick from me?”

But for some reason, the once indifferent Ains started clinging to me.

“Treated? Do you think someone who’s fully healed would cough up blood?”

“That’s just a lingering effect.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. Do you think I’ll believe that?”

As she reached her breaking point, memories from the vanished past to the present flashed rapidly through her mind.

The guilt and anguish she had been suppressing burst forth like a dam breaking.

“I’m sorry. Truly, I was wrong.”

She begged him without even knowing exactly why he was angry.

“For what?”

Even as she wept pitifully like a child, Calix didn’t bat an eye.

Instead, the mouth that had been tightly shut slowly relaxed.

“E-Everything.”

She felt overwhelming remorse toward him. For everything… including the fact that she had come back to life.

“No, Lea.”

Calix denied her words as he slowly closed the distance.

His movements were cautious, like a predator driving its prey into a corner.

“Your real sin…”

He reached her at last, and with an expressionless face, extended his hand slowly.

The moment his hand brushed her trembling, rounded shoulder, he pulled her into his arms.

“…is that you kept your true identity hidden all this time.”

Only after Lea was in his embrace did he let out a languid laugh, and in a voice filled with possessiveness and ecstasy, he whispered,

“How dare you be so insolent. You were mine from the very beginning.”

As he stroked her fox ears with his fingertips, his gaze darkened, fixed on the pendant of the collar she wore.

The pendant that marked him as the owner of this fox. <<less

Erica received a marriage proposal from her childhood friend, Roderick, who returned from the military and spent a steamy night with her.... more>>

However, the euphoria of her first love was short-lived as a coup occurred that night, and Roderick ended up dead, leaving behind a child in her womb.

One day, while lost in sorrow, she went to assist a certain lady in childbirth...

"...Roderick?"

The man she thought was dead turned out to be the woman's husband!

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.

Chen Wan was very adept at dealing with people. Relying on his thoughtfulness and meticulousness to be reliable, he mixed with the group of princelings. As long as he was there, even the humidity of the air would feel just right.... more>>

He didn’t go through all this trouble in hopes that Zhao Shengge would like him. Chen Wan never left his name nor sought credit, keeping to the shadows. Zhao Shengge did not even have to know that he existed; glimpsing him from afar just once or twice was enough.

His friend, impatient at his low expectations, asked, “What are you playing at?”

“I’m not playing at anything,” Chen Wan smiled, holding on to his unbreakable oath of secret devotion. “I just hope that my presence would make him a little happier and more comfortable.”

Zhao Shengge was the favored child of the heavens, holding a high position and wielding immense power. Chen Wan was very self aware. He wouldn’t hold any hopes about something that was simply impossible, believing that his careful distance was maintained flawlessly.

When their paths crossed at the auction, Chen Wan would blend into the crowd, offering only the same greetings as strangers;

When he came across Zhao Shengge’s belongings, he would ask his friend to pass them on;

When someone tried using him to get close to Zhao Shengge through him, he’d apologize and say that they don’t actually know each other……

Or at least that’s what he believed.

Until that moment on the cruise ship, when the other person stared at him quietly, cigarette between his lips as he slowly said: “Chen Wan, I didn’t bring a lighter.”

On the surface, it’s the shou chasing the gong, but it’s actually the gong calmly orchestrating the chase, maneuvering the shou towards him.

The eccentric and lovable Marquis’s daughter, Rizle Thruella.

The morning after getting drunk, she discovered a beautiful ring on the ring finger of her left hand.

At the party last night, there were only three men Rizle had spoken to:

A handsome playboy knight, an ugly gambling Viscount, and…

“You don’t seem to remember anything that happened last night.”

The knight with a reputation for being impenetrable, Heizen, who was rumored to have no interest in women.

But he had never shown even the slightest bit of interest in her before now.

“It’s fine, as long as you don’t say you want to annul the proposal.”

“Did you carefully consider it before proposing? Can you even kiss me, Sir?”

“……”

“What, are you planning not to kiss me even after we’re married?”

What’s with that silence?

And to top it all off, a proposal that the recipient doesn’t even remember?

Rizle, who had always dreamed of a romantic proposal, couldn’t accept this situation.

Although she had married her beloved Duke Izar, Freesia lived as though she was trapped at the bottom of a bleak, hapless abyss.

Her family took complete advantage of her, and the people of the duchy hated her for being a stain on the household’s honor.

And then there was her husband, Izar.

Even after she had suffered a miscarriage, he remained cold.

“To be born to parents like us—happiness would forever elude that child.”

At Freesia’s funeral, he had shed not a single tear.
