All of a sudden, the man covered his eyes with his hand and mutedly laugh towards the sky. His smile was inconsolable and despairing. The falling rain had assaulted his throat while laughing before he finally lowered his head and broke into a bout of violent coughs. His eyes welled up with tears, but he continued to laugh.... more>>

That laughter was more woeful than crying itself…

They were never his, to begin with. That gentle smile. That caring look in the eyes. That comfort of embrace…

They were never his! Never, ever had been!!

He was just a clown! Laughable and expendable!

The main character had already made his appearance. His current self wasn’t even worthy of being a substitute. Not to mention, he was dirty and broken. His face was now disfigured.

So.… He had arrived at this world, lost his status, and lost his loved ones only to become a vessel―a vessel that temporarily carried the breath of life for another. And he thought that he could undertake that someone else’s relationship. <<less

Halstead, the land where demons roam. As a demon hunter, a high-ranking lord has one secret.... more>>

“I hear the face behind the mask is so ugly?”

“Even demons will be afraid!”

It’s the monstrous appearance of Lord Erden, hidden right below the mask! Everyone sympathizes with the lord’s wife Leticia, who married such a lord, but she also has a secret to hide-

“I’m always grateful. This monster’s face must be disgusting and horrible, but he never shows it and does it so well. ”

“Eh, what? Of course.”

“Since your arrival, our land has developed remarkably. The demons are tied to their wives. That’s amazing. No matter how much you think about it, you’re too good for me. That’s why I have to divorce you myself!”

Leticia, who was listening with a hazy face, was shocked. Divorce?

But unlike her determined husband, Leticia had no intention of getting divorced! He wouldn’t either.

The husband, known as a terrible monster, was actually a great beauty.

Are you divorced now? The devil will cry and the trick + obsession will come. <<less

In my seventeenth summer, three months before I went into isolation, the first daughter of Marquis Leonard, my “sister” returned, having disappeared shortly after birth.... more>>

Everyone in the mansion loved her, and only her.

It didn’t matter.

Because from the very beginning, I’d known that my parents were utter tr*sh.

I would’ve helped and organized all the documents for land management, but I saw no point in bothering the family that would soon fall.

A family that would fall, should I, the one who actually did all the work instead of the Marquis, disappear.

So, all I need to do is to isolate myself and get away from this place…

--It was extremely cold! It must've been a long time ago.
A self-proclaimed junior spirit I encounter ever so often, tells surprising stories.

“Then who will protect you?”
My 'sister', no, that woman, tried to 'protect me' under the guise of being a real sister.

“What do you think, young Lady? If it's this much of a loan, wouldn't it be useful? Go ahead and run before someone snatches it away.”
The wily duke, who'd signed a mutual deal with me, would be entitled to a loss.

And…

“I’ve prayed to God, whom I’ve never prayed to before.”
When I saw my sweet childhood friend, who said just that, it seemed that in the end, we would no longer be just friends. <<less

Chu Ci couldn't help but smile: "Han Yue, I'm about to die. You should be happy, why do you look like you're about to cry?"... more>>

Han Yue paused, coldly replying with a question after a while: "Your death should bring about much joy to many people, how would there be a person who would shed tears for you?"

"...That's true." Chu Ci sighed as he nodded, "I don't wish for you to shed a single drop of tear for me, dirtying my road to reincarnation." <<less

“Everyone gets what they deserve.”... more>>

She thought he was the savior who would prevent the fall of her family, but he was an invader who drove her to the bottom.

“I gave you a choice, and the decision is up to you, Ms. Han Seo-Yoon.”

“Up to me... Why are you doing this? What did I do wrong?”

‘Not because you did anything wrong, but because you stand out.’

Tension and excitement are turned into hatred and contempt, and Seo-Yoon's heart is trampled down before she can even confirm the identity of her emotions.

Love? Of course she didn't love him.

Insanity and obsession felt in a calm consensus.

The more they tried to escape, the more they were tied up, the affectionate oppression.

“Nothing started it, as you said, but it makes no sense to end it.”

Is there any way to get away from him before being thoroughly broken? <<less

Even Master Qiao Si himself seemed to have forgotten his actual name.

At this point of life, Master Qiao Si thought he was capable of seeing through anything in the world,

Except for his half brother –

Elysia was a lady of a noble family. Her future seemed bright, but when she married the handsome Dominic, her life turned upside down. Since then, she had lived a life of domestic abuse for the past eight years. And then she met Enoch. His way of speaking surprised her. Enoch grabbed her wrist before she could come to her senses. His low voice rang in her hears, her shoulders shrinking unconsciously, her breathing shaking and fuzzy.

“I don’t know what I’d do if I end up embracing you. Will you allow me to seduce you? It would very much please me.”

***

“I’d like to make a deal.”

“The trade is equivalent to an exchange.”

Killian tilted his head to the side. Soon, he let out a soft chuckle and sat on the sofa, saying softly, “Then take out what you have. I don’t know what it is, but is should be attractive enough. I don’t like cheap deals.”

Elysia raised her body, ignoring the pain. She took off her clothes that smelt like medicine. Standing before him with a limp, Killian raised his dark eyebrows. Muttering softly, she said, “I know I look like this now, but if you wait a little longer…”

“Do I look that frightening to you that I would not hold a battered woman? You're beautiful, you know. Cherish yourself more. It is what you deserve. It is what you are owed." <<less

If she wants to cast him aside, then, escape, could be the only answer…… <<less

Wen Luo: “Marry me, and the medicine is yours.”

Yan Ci: “Get lost, I don’t want your medicine even if I die.”

Wen Luo smirked.

Then, the real scene:

Wen Luo: “Baby, come, take your medicine.”

Yan Ci opens his mouth.

A two-faced, scheming top with a sweet-tempered outer appearance and a sickly, but violent, self-proclaimed aloof bottom.

Later on, someone, who often had a hoarse voice and red, swollen eyes every morning, was dissatisfied. He was clearly the one that should have been the top.

Wen Luo: I will do it gently in the future.

Yan Ci: On the very first night, I can’t believe it; a man’s mouth can spew so many lies.

Wen Luo: Actually, I really did control the intensity.

Yan Ci: Control? Is it the kind where the other person is near death? Or when he becomes a ghost?

Wen Luo: …or else, looks like my baby is really curious. Why don’t we try it once again?

It’s better to act rather than to keep wondering.

After more than an hour,

Yan Ci: Ugh…

‘My body is wasted today as well. My waist and legs are sore.’

Great, Yan Ci dug his own grave again. <<less

The rich contract husband Su Baibai The Salted Fish was married to passed away just a few days after she was enjoying the high life; both she and her stepson Gu Xiaobei were driven out of the family!... more>>

Gu Xiaobei: This woman will definitely leave me right away, who doesn’t know she married my father for money!

Su Baibai looked at the child from her widowhood in front of her; just as she gritted her teeth and left him behind, a cashback system fell from the sky!

“Congratulations on binding with the 10x rebate system! The target is Gu Xiaobei.”
“For every penny the host spends on Gu Xiaobei, you will be rewarded tenfold!”

Su Baibai was shocked and bought Gu Xiaobei a snack that cost 15 yuan.

System: Congratulations, you just received 150 yuan cashback!

Su Baibai rented a house costing 2000 yuan per month for Gu Xiaobei.

System: Congratulations, you received 20,000 yuan cashback!

Su Baibai’s eyes gleamed as she grabbed the Gu Xiaobai whom everyone had shown the cold shoulder and said:

“From this day onward, I am your mother!”

Gu Xiaobei’s friends and nemesis thought that since Gu Chenyuan passed away and did not leave any money for Su Baibai, she will definitely desert Gu Xiaobei.

Never in a million years would they think that Su Baibai would buy her stepson a foreign luxury car, hire the most expensive nutritionist to prepare his meals, and throw the most extravagant birthday party for him…

Even the company Su Baibai founded was for Gu Xiaobei, the yacht was bought for him, and the private jet was also under his name!

Su Baibai may have gotten rich overnight, but those riches did not stay on her person long because they were exchanged for blueprints of various cutting-edge technology in the internal Cashback System marketplace: intelligent robots, holograms, microchips, stealth aircraft, treatment pods… Even the robotic exoskeletons, mecha, and the principles for manufacturing airships surpass Blue Star’s* state-of-art technology....

*Blue Star, a technology company that produced an assistive walking exoskeleton, is used as the field standard by this author. It is also implied that Gu Chenyuan is the head of Blue Star.

Su Baibai was originally a physics and software engineering double major from a prestigious school; backed by the system’s revolutionary technology and her genius son, they built up the small company left by President Gu Chenyuan into the top technology company under Blue Star.

What man, she just wants a career now!

Gu Xiaobei, who initially thought of Su Baibai as a gold digger:

“She is so rich, I think that my father is actually her gigolo all along.”
“She loves my father so much, even though my father is dead she still spoils me like her own son!”
“She hid her strengths and didn’t become a scientist to contribute to the country; instead worked as a secretary to stay by my father’s side for ten years!”

“Looking back, my slag of a father gave Su Baibai nothing aside from money and fame, even used her as a shield*.”
*to ward off marriage proposals
“Most importantly, he has delayed the development of Blue Star Technology far too much!"
“No, I have to find myself a gentle and reliable stepfather!”

Watching her willful stepson go from rebellious to enterprising, even being able to manage the company for himself and to support her, Su Baibai felt like she has reached the pinnacle of life!

What could beat not having to give birth to any kids, and having such an obstinate son show filial piety?
Having a man? He would get in the way!
After raising her son so well, the child’s father did not actually die and came back?!

Gu Chenyuan who has been silently watching behind the scenes this whole time to find out the internal traitor within the Gu family:
“She truly loves me so much, despite being this wealthy she stayed by my side as a secretary for ten years! When I was looking for a contract wife, she immediately offered to marry me; she must have had a secret crush on me for years!

Gu Chenyuan: “Stinky little brat, stop looking for a man to be your mom’s lover! Do you take me for dead?!”

Gu Xiaobei: What to do, this slag isn’t worthy of my mom, should I write him off as dead to me? <<less

One smile has the beauties all enraptured.

The fool finally couldn’t take it any longer and cried on his shoulder, “Gege, is it because I am s*upid that you don’t want me anymore?”

Du Mengluo only said one word: “want.”

Later on, Xue Dan is no longer an idiot. He is now the owner of Huaixugu, Bai Jing Fang. Languidly strolling about, shards of memories suddenly reappeared in his mind and he choked while hugging Du Mengluo. "Gege, is it because I am no longer s*upid that you don't want me anymore?"

Du Mengluo still only said one word: "want." <<less

“Seeing you come here in person, I think you remembered that night quite well, Grand Duke."

Her first marriage gave her wealth and her second marriage gave her power, but her father's greed did not end there. Even before the funeral of her second husband was over, Eliana's father was determined to push her into the position of the Emperor's concubine.

If I have to get married, I will decide for myself.

Then Grady Kryver appeared before her eyes.

A war hero, the previous Emperor's illegitimate son, the Emperor's dog, the greatest scoundrel of the Empire, and a ghost that wanders around the Imperial Palace with love for her sister-in-law, the Empress.

There was no way he could stand still at the news of the Emperor was trying to bring in a concubine.

“You have to tell me what you want as a Grand Duke. Isn't it the Grand Duke who pays the price?"

Grady Kryver loves Empress Rosella.

Eliana decided to risk her fate in the love of Grady Kryver.

You will never fall in love with a man who loves another woman.

*

Even when Grady bit his lip, Eliana didn't close her eyes. Rather, she put her hands on his shoulders and hugged him tightly.

“Ugh!”

A short moan escaped from Grady's lips.

"Hey, it hurts if you pull my hair like that.”

Eliana, who smiled broadly with her lips covered in blood dripping, leaned down to his ear.

She said, "You're acting like an uneducated bastard, so I'm just treating you the way you are, Your Highness." <<less
