"You're quite fearless."... more>>

His voice was soft.

"Do you feel safe because I said I won't lay a finger on you? You're not just trying to see how far I can endure, right?"

The moment she lifted her head to look at him, she felt something drop in her chest. Sunwoo took a step back. His pupils were calm, but they were as restless as the heat flowing from his body.

"Don't cross the line."

He said and gave a slight smile. That smile was perfectly affectionate, so it felt rather contrived. Goosebumps rose from her arm.

"What happens if I cross it?"

"I might swallow you up." <<less

A wicked mother one day brought home a girl.
The child was the hidden legitimate daughter of the duke, the heroine of [The Duke’s House Has Three Sons and One Daughter] Loretta.
I was Melody, the villainous girl who tormented her and was condemned along with my mother.... more>>

Not wanting to die like that, I decided to start treating her well now.
I personally fed Loretta, put her to bed, and played with her.
And then her reaction was…?

“I want Melody to marry me!”

Caught off guard by her endless affection, I too ended up entering the duke’s family,

“I’ll stick right by Miss Melody’s side.”

And there, it seems I’ve met a young lord who’s an even bigger ‘Melody fool’?

All I did was be kind to survive, but why am I being loved…?! <<less

Han Ting said, "For me, love isn't everything. I may not be able to provide self-sacrificing love for you, but the love that accompanies you in ordinary life may be possible."... more>>

Ji Xing understands that the love they seek is different, and the outlines of the dreams in their hearts are also different.

But she wanted to climb from the slope to the top of the mountain, stand beside him, face hardships, troubles and pain with him, and witness the beauty of this city with him.

They were dazzling stars who admired each other in their hearts, just like the night view of the capital that he showed her for the first time--

Calm, stunning beauty, so beautiful it is intoxicating. <<less

Li Zhi was reborn as a curse, destined to bring ruin to an empire already in decline.... more>>

At the age of fifteen, her ethereal beauty caught the attention of Prince Rui, who fell in love at first sight, and beseeched the Empress Dowager to arrange a union between them.

At the age of sixteen, Li Zhi's unparalleled allure captivated the heart of the reigning Emperor, who resorted to abominable tactics to abduct her as his own concubine and keep her hidden away in a gilded palace.

With the Emperor's favor, she rose to the position of a highly sought-after Noble Consort that was envied by all.

Only she knew...

In three years' time, the Emperor and Prince Rui would turn against each other, and their once great empire would be ravaged by war.

As they fled, a formidable army of one hundred thousand soldiers stood in their way, pleading with the Emperor to order the execution of the treacherous Noble Consort. The Emperor could not bear to see her suffer such a fate, yet in the end, he offered her a three-foot length of white silk. Without hesitation, Li Zhi turned to Pei Ji and flung herself into his protective embrace. <<less

Li Shen replied, “Li Shen and Yu Wan.” <<less

I’ve had enough of being transmigrated into books.... more>>

You would be tired of it too, especially if it was already your fourth time doing it. This time, I became the female lead’s villainous older sister.

‘Oh, I’m so sick of this.’

Yet again, I was sure this life wouldn’t be exciting either. I had led straightforward lives before, and then I died and moved on to the next.

But why was it that this iteration was a tad different?

‘Why can I use the abilities I had in my second transmigration?’

‘Why is the female lead bothering me so much?’

Alicia, this novel’s protagonist, was fated to have a poor, emaciated life. However, considering that she was this novel’s true heroine, I couldn’t just let her roll through the mud like this. I would do everything in my power to change her fate.

‘My younger sister, don’t become the female lead this time.’

To achieve my goal through a project hereby dubbed as the [Mob-Alicia Project], I’ve recruited the male lead’s older brother.

Cassion Carter.

He was the villain who was almost killed—no, was fated to be killed—by the male lead.

“If you want to live, promise me one thing.”

As if he was a wild beast that had been hunted and left to die alone, he breathed with incredible difficulty. I reached toward the poor man’s face and caressed his cheek, leaning down to whisper softly.

“If I save you…”

Lay down your own life on the line to protect my sister. <<less

I possessed the daughter of an obsessive top in a BL novel.
On top of that, I became the pitiful daughter who gets cold-shouldered by her father!
Since things turned out like this, I thought I might as well try to tame my obsessive top father…... more>>

“…Why is my usually well-behaved daughter suddenly acting like this?”

Somehow, I felt caught off guard and my shoulders shook slightly. After all, the real Choi Hee-na probably couldn’t even speak properly because she was always wary of her father’s countenance.

On the first anniversary of my marriage to Pei Yu, I received the divorce agreement he sent.... more>>

Suddenly, some chat boxes similar to bullet comments floated in the air.

【Don't sign it, loving the male lead will only bring misfortune. Turn around and look at your husband.】

【This angsty novel's female supporting character is great in every way, except she's blind.】

【Don't be fooled by his cold demeanor now wanting to divorce you. Call him 'husband,' and he'll give you his life!】

My hand paused mid-signature. What era are we in, still playing the life-giving literacy? <<less

Doom!... more>>

One day, I became the daughter of Lucellai, the villainess in a novel. She, who fails to kill the Empress, ends up with a terrible death in the future!

I don’t know anything else, but I must prevent the terrible death from happening.

So I started to stop her evil deeds behind without Lucellai’s knowledge.

When I thought I was doing really well...

“You’re the only one I have. Even if you tell me to lie down at your feet, I will gladly obey you.”

The Prince, who should never be involved with me, comes boldly, revealing his affection.

Even my mother, Lucellai, who seemed to think of me as consumable goods, began to show harsh but clumsy affection to me. <<less

Before being sold as the Crown Prince’s concubine, I proposed a contract marriage to the Duke.... more>>

“Will your father allow you to marry me?”
“Of course not. So there is only one way.”

“We have to make an accident.”

It will taste better when I break that mol*ster’s head.
I could shoot a gun at the alley gangster. Even the prince of the neighboring empire was also knocked out by me.

The man snorted.

“You’re so arrogant as the captive subject. I never knew that Count Bornes would be a jerk to his dog.”

I said with a smile, “Our mansion didn’t have a dog. Because the owner of the mansion is already a dog.”

This is the story of Arianne Bornes, who seemed to be a villainess but not a villainess. <<less

Where am I? I’m sure I was sleeping at home.

After a while, a light suddenly appear and it shines strongly.

“Pow pow pow! Yoo-hoo! It’s the goddess~♪ Congratulations! You’ve been chosen to be summoned as the hero~!”

What is it? Is this a gal-like goddess…?

I was suppose to be chosen as a summoned hero by the clumsy goddess, but I was immediately transferred back to my original world due some mixed up on her part . But the “beginner’s pack” blessings that I received were still remained.

Huh? In the other world, it’s a beginner’s pack, but in the modern world, it’s an unbelievable cheat, isn’t it?

If I use this well, I will be a winner in life, right? <<less

In their previous life, Wen Ke’an and Gu Ting met during the darkest period of their lives.... more>>

She was set up and got into a car accident, which not only disfigured her face but also made her lose the ability to walk, leaving her incapable of returning to her beloved stage again.

"What is it?"

"Will you promise to listen?"

Then the man blatantly laughed.

But who would point out his arrogance – a young Northern Duke who’s not even afraid of the Emperor? He could even get a throne if he wished for it.

But it was just a sweet lover’s birthday wish.

"Alright. I swear."

So, Juliet spoke lightly,

"Please break up with me. I don’t love you anymore."

A fiance just for show. A succession of meaningless nights.

[The Eternal Scattering Flowers: Fiore Caduto Eterna] is a game ill-suited of being known as a galge, as the main heroine would - regardless of the chosen route - meet her demise.... more>>

Fudou Niito, a resident of Japan, went to bed dissatisfied with the ending of the game. When he next awoke, he found himself in the body of the game’s hated fake saint, Elrise.

Confused, but with an understanding that Elrise’s actions would spell disaster for many lives in the future, he took advantage of the situation and acted to change the course of history.

Furthermore, the game itself was intrinsically linked to his original world and changed accordingly to suit Elrise’s actions. Without any knowledge of what the hell was going on, the fake saint Elrise continued to alter her fate.

A saint on the outside, but a man on the inside.

The transmigrator was a piece of sh*t and the person he transmigrated into was also a piece of shit. A combination of sh*t and sh*t would cause an accident – to create the greatest fake saint sh*tshow of the year! <<less
