“You’re an illegitimate child, and the very fact of your birth is a sin.”

“tr*sh like you, with no talent whatsoever.”

Violet had lived her entire life being deceived by her family’s lies.

“If we’re going to point fingers about being an illegitimate child, it would be our younger sibling.”

Having discovered the truth, Violet decided to deliver a cruel word to them, something they would never forget. A word that would haunt them for the rest of their lives.

A word that would provide a lifetime of pain.

So Violet sought help from Ash, the enigmatic young man whom she knew to be the most adept at delivering venomous words.

“We’re going to become nightmares for those people. Nightmares they’ll never forget, pains and scars that will stay with them for life.”

At that moment, she didn’t know.

She didn’t know what fate her meeting with Ash would lead her to. <<less

Also known as 'Dragon's Promise,' according to Da Feng himself: 'It's a story about a dragon wanting to marry a bride, but being deceived by a spirit to search for treasure...'... more>>

Legend has it that every hundred years, an evil dragon comes to the mortal realm and takes away a princess as his bride.

Legend has it that when the gods departed from the world, they buried their most precious treasures somewhere, along with their deepest love.

Another hundred years have passed, and the young future Dragon King, Kenken, comes to the mortal realm to marry a bride, only to be besieged by the Grand Mage and the Knights Templar.

This necklace is actually the key to unlocking the treasure of the gods.

The young Dragon King, with intentions to marry a bride, and the 'ulterior motive' Elf Prince, set out on a journey for their respective wishes.

Will there be a bride?

Will there be treasure?

He had thought he could hide it for the rest of his life, until Lee Jihoon asked in the fall of his twenty-nine.

"Don't you think it's even stranger that I've never heard you talk about women you've dated all this while?"

Realizing that he could no longer hide it, Ji Sunwook meekly confessed that he was dating a man and finally put an end to their relationship with the confession he had been putting off.

Lee Jihoon, who came to catch Ji Sunwook, denied that conclusion. He said that Ji Sunwook didn't love him, so this couldn't be the end for them. Not wanting to believe it, he blocked Ji Sunwook’s way out saying he would prove it.

Many years later, facing the cover reporter of Time magazine, Yi Jiayi would recall the distant afternoon when the head of the serious crime unit took her to see the body...... more>>

At that moment, she heard the wails of the deceased, saw the face of the mu*derer, and gained the ability to mentally revisit the crime scene.

From then on, Hong Kong had one less civilian policewoman who spent her time gossiping over tea and dating after work, and gained a shining star in the police force who solved every case she encountered.

Head of Serious Crime Unit: How did you know he was the mu*derer!?

Yi Jiayi: Because it was a rainy night (omitting the reasoning process, 800 words), so there is only one truth...

The mu*derer trembled, his face turned pale, speechless, surrendered, and resigned himself to his fate.

Yi Jiayi thought: I'm sorry, all of the above was made up.

As the saying goes, explanation is just a cover-up, and a cover-up is just storytelling!

Solving a case is like solving a math problem; others derive conclusions based on known conditions.

She just knows the answer directly, and the process of solving the problem relies entirely on fabrication...

Acting, pretending to be a detective, deceiving the mu*derer... resorting to all sorts of extremes, it's really difficult!

...

Ming Pao Reporter: The police force in Hong Kong calls you "Female Zhuge", saying you are both intelligent and close to supernatural. What do you think, Officer Yi?

Yi Jiayi: Haha, I'm just an (extraordinary) ordinary person.

Reporter: It's said that your home was vandalized by two thugs, and even the Flying Tigers were mobilized.

Yi Jiayi: Haha, that's just the daily routine of righteous officers protecting ordinary citizens.

Hong Kong Daily Reporter: It's rumored that the sons of Hong Kong's wealthiest, the rising young stars, and... are all pursuing you? Which one do you prefer?

Yi Jiayi shivered at the thought of the wrath of the Jealous King, not daring to be careless. She sat up straight, facing the camera, and said firmly:

"It's all rumors! As a detective dedicated to the cause of justice, my only concern is to uncover the real culprit and ensure the safety of the citizens. I have no time for romantic affairs." <<less

From school uniforms to wedding gowns, a love that turned into nothing overnight, the betrayal of her boyfriend left Song Yu in despair.... more>>

Watching the head of the serious crime unit talking to someone at the crime scene, she had a new idea.

If she couldn’t be his wife, then she would be his stepmother.

He had once shielded her from a knife, helped her at work, and always protected her in dangerous situations. He was mature, stable, restrained, and had never been rumored to be involved with anyone else.

Why not—

Wiping away her tears, she walked over…

At first, she pursued him with a mindset of revenge, but as the days of chasing him went by, she gradually found herself falling in love with this man.

I Possessed an extra rabbit in a Ropan novel, so I decided to be the guardian of ‘Kyle Roden’, a black hearted man abandoned in the polar region.... more>>

Kyle tried to kill the male lead who took away the female lead he loved.

He was a wolf banished to the polar region and was the villain of the original novel.

“I’ll give you whatever you want, so take me home with you.”

However, when he went to the female lead, he was abandoned and eventually died at the hands of the male lead.

I couldn't let my favorite end up like that.

“I will be your guardian, so come with me instead.”

I honestly didn't intend to be the lover of Kyle.

It's just about opening his eyes to the presence of other people not just the female protagonist.

The goal was to make him let go of his obsession with the female lead and deviate from the original ending.

But despite all my efforts, I couldn't change his mind.

In the end, I gave up and tried to leave his side..

“You’re leaving me?”

There was something strange about Kyle's appearance when he came to see me. He stood in front of me and spoke with cool eyes shining.

"You... aren't you a high-ranking vampire?"

"... Did you notice that?"

"No wonder! A high-ranking vampire wouldn't consider making a mere human brat their familiar!"

"What do you mean by 'brat'..."

Todd, realizing too late that Vasha, whom he thought to be a high-ranking vampire, is just a lower-ranking one.

They become reluctant companions due to the existence of an unknown letter.

But is it just because they are enemies?

"Become the third wife of the Northern Duke."... more>>

Elia, the illegitimate child of Viscount Arnes, was used by her family until the very end.

A duke burdened with a curse-like trust, such was his third wife. The viscount pushed Elia into that position and pocketed a hefty dowry.

So it went for 16 years. Their marriage was as cold as the freezing winds of the North. The couple, who had turned away from each other, only came together just before the collapse of the North.
