They met during the most confusing and painful time of their youth, and even now that they are adults, they have always been by each other's side. Their friendship was strong and stood the test of time like armor. But underneath that thick armor, Ji Sunwook nurtured a love that was not just friendship. Driven by the desperation to leave no evidence as the sole driving force behind his unrequited love.... more>>

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.

"What kind of coward abandons the one he loves and then runs away?"

Guided by Lee Jihoon's firm hand, the two stood on a road they had never been on before. Only when standing at the edge of friendship from which no one can retreat did they realize that they were facing something that made them uncertain whether they were proving that it was love or proving that it was not. <<less

“Takuya, I’m going to give you this house.”... more>>

“…… Eh?”

Muramatsu Takuya, a 25-year-old single salaryman, was suddenly told by his father on a certain holiday morning.

He was not sure if he could keep the house he was going to get from his father or not.
He is worried and comes up with a great idea.

“Let’s start looking for a marriage partner. ……”

He decided that if he had no partner, he should go to a place where he could meet someone.

The next day, while heading to a marriage counseling center, he happens to meet Oishi Miyu, a cool and beautiful childhood friend, for the first time in several years.
The two were happy to see each other again and reminisced, but when Takuya told her about his marriage hunting activities, Miyu’s behavior changed drastically..!

“I-if you’re going to get married, it’s got to be with me! If you’re looking for a marriage, it’s okay with me!”
“Eh!?”

A sweet romantic comedy that begins with marriage! <<less

Seria was the youngest daughter of the Kester Duke's family, with five older brothers. ... more>>

She had a frail body and was a delicate cat, but her brothers grew up with all sorts of extraordinary abilities, becoming tigers and dragons.

"Seria, you have to marry a man like your brother when you grow up, okay?"

"What? No! I hate it!"

"Why are you saying it as if you were waiting…?"

No matter how hurt her brother looked, Seria remained resolute.

As someone surrounded by strong brothers who were overly protective to the point of suffocation, marrying such a man seemed inconceivable!

"I like him."

So, on impulse, she pointed to a small young boy.

Being of the same cat race and appearing frail at first glance, he caught her fancy.

However, there was one problem.

"I-I hate you!"

The boy avoided Seria.

━━━━━ ∙ʚ(✧)ɞ∙ ━━━━━

Seria looked at the man who used to be a little boy running away from her.

The little boy, who had grown frighteningly big, slowly approached and said,

"Got it, Seria? If I can't stop…"

"Yuel…"

"Stab me with this."

I'll be fine. His muttering soon drowned between lips meeting each other.

He knew from the beginning that he wouldn't be able to stop himself. <<less

I have a childhood friend.... more>>

We did s*upid things, made the adults angry, were put to cleaning the toilets together, complained it was a pain and went off to play, only to make them angry again.

When he was young, Xiao Yu'an wore a white shirt and rescued a child from a tree.... more>>

The child's hands were sticky with sugar water from the melted peppermint popsicle he’d been eating, and he left a five-fingered imprint on the front of Xiao Yu'an's shirt.

"This is a stamp," the child declared. "It means you're my gege now."

When he was young, Ming Shu had to climb up and up and up in a tall tree in order to see the gege in the neighbors' yard.

He wanted to quickly grow big and tall, so he wouldn't need to climb any more trees. So he would be able to turn around, at any time, and see the gege from the Xiao family.

"You don't need to wait for me," he said. "Let me chase you. Let me make you my guiding light." <<less

The son of a servant, Yan Bubu was destined from the moment he was born to serve Young Master Feng Chen for life.... more>>

Said young master, Feng Chen, was as cold and piercing as a bullet fired at absolute zero. The thick layer of ice that seemed to encase him kept everyone at a distance.

But Yan Bubu only had eyes for Feng Chen. He offered up his only toy. “Here, Big Brother.”

“Who’s your big brother?” Feng Chen looked down and asked coldly.

Yan Bubu s**ked on his thumb and smiled. “Big Brother is so silly. Of course it’s you!”

Feng Chen didn’t like this sticky little follower, even if Yan Bubu looked at him like he was the sun and called him ‘big brother’ in the sweetest tone.

Yet when the world ended, 12 year old Feng Chen took the young Yan Bubu along as he made his escape.

Earthquakes. Floods. Extreme temperatures. Epidemics. Mutated flora and fauna.

Two children alone guarded an empty city, facing this brand new world and the dangers lurking around every corner together.

During those years where they struggled to survive, Feng Chen never once thought of abandoning Yan Bubu.

Yan Bubu was his everything.

–When you kiss me with those rose petal lips, even bullets can bloom. <<less

A War Without Casualties.... more>>

The Republic of San Magnolia has long been under attack from the neighbouring Giadian Empire’s army of unmanned drones known as the Legion. After years of painstaking research, the Republic finally developed autonomous drones of their own, turning the one-sided struggle into a war without casualties-or at least, that’s what the government claims.

In truth, there is no such thing as a bloodless war. Beyond the fortified walls protecting the eighty-five Republic territories lies the “nonexistent” Eighty-Sixth Sector. The young men and women of this forsaken land are branded the Eighty-Six and, stripped of their humanity, pilot the “unmanned” weapons into battle…

Shin is the leader of a squadron of eighty-sixers. Lena is a “handler” who commands the detachment from the remote rear with the help of special communication technology.

The farewell story of the severe and sad struggle of these two begins! <<less

It’s the era of Transmigration.... more>>

I wanted to possess a body of a rich young lady in a Rofan childcare novel, and live while receiving lots of love.

No. 1 to be avoided!

No. 1 in frustrating the reader!

I possessed someone inside an infinite return novel called: Return Until the World is Saved.

Forget being a young lady from a prominent family, I will soon be ruined because the survival difficulty of the original work is S-Class.

I became an extra. Ailette, the young daughter of a servant in the Count’s manor.

We are poor, but it’s a happy life between a kind brother and a good father.

I’ve got a best friend I’ve never made before because I was always busy.

Even the gods of the Transmigration Management Bureau are openly fond of me.

I’m living a life full of confidence.

On top of that, I accidentally bought the ‘After-Life Insurance’ full package just before my death.

I leveled up with the high-speed growth buff, and diligently destroyed the original plot.

Thanks to plenty of special privileges, I came to give satisfaction for all the frustrated readers of the original work.

“You wiped your face with your dirty hands.”

“…….”

“Don’t be surprised. It’s because I have an obligation to be kind.”

And then, there’s the protagonist who is still nothing more than a handsome push over, Thesilid.

‘Why is he being this crafty with me?’ <<less

Yu Zhiyi was a slow-witted, easily neglected child ever since she was little. Yet the gifted and intelligent Shi Yi liked to take her around everywhere.... more>>

Taking her to and from school, waiting for her to go home, using his own pocket money to buy the prettiest little dress to give her.

Toddler Shi Yi: “If you want to be a princess, then I will build a castle for you.”

Teenager Shi Yi: “Let’s go to outer space together. I’ll count the stars, but since you’re dumb, you can just count the moons.”

The year Yu Zhiyi was abandoned, Shi Yi took her to his home and protected her for the whole summer: “You are very adorable, worthy of being loved.”

The year they were 18, Shi Yi proposed; the year they were 22, she became Mrs. Shi.

[Kindergarten]
Yu Zhiyi got picked to be the ‘mother’ when playing house, but it scared her playmate so much they cried, “Yu Zhiyi is so s*upid, I don’t want to be her dumb child.”

As such, she could only stand there and stare at the other kids playing together. Shi Yi who was passing by picked her up, “You are a little dummy, you need to find a partner that has a high IQ to save your future children.”

“Then…then who should I look for?”

“Since we’re neighbors, I’ll allow you to become Mrs. Shi when we’re older!”

[College]
When Shi Yi was 18, the usually timid Yu Zhiyi gifted him a pricey watch and a red heart-shaped card. Shi Yi only glanced at the watch but took the card away.

Raising his charming pair of peach blossom eyes, “Giving me something so expensive, was it an impulse buy?”

The young lady’s face turned red as she stammered out four words, “It was…deliberately planned!” <<less

Chen Qizhao was reborn and returned to the age of 18 when he was still the wicked little overlord of the Chen family.... more>>

At this time, his brother hadn’t experienced a car accident while his parents were in good health and weren’t seriously ill. The Chen family was still the prosperous Chen family and everyone thought he was a good-for-nothing who was useless and easily taken advantage of.

“He looks good, but unfortunately, he is an idiot.”

“Isn’t he a useless person? Just serve him well.”

“It is a pity about that child of the Chen family.”

There were the group of scoundrel friends who were full of thoughts, the rats eyeing him covetously and the old, cunning people who were secretly scheming.

Chen Qizhao put on a mask of arrogance again. ‘Do you like acting so much? Why don’t we act together?’

It wasn’t until later that everyone discovered that at the end of the play, they would either go bankrupt or be imprisoned. <<less

Mu Xiaoya lived for twenty-six years before she knew that she had a sudden genetic disease. There was no medicine for it, and there was only death waiting for her.... more>>

Before she died, many people came to see her, but she was most impressed by Bai Chuan.

Bai Chuan was her neighbor, an autistic child with scholar’s syndrome. At that time, his face full of scars was desperate: “I – I studied all your medical records, but I have no way to save you.”

Mu Xiaoya was stunned: “You are a doctor?”

Bai Chuan: “I am not… …”

Mu Xiaoya’s disease was a genetic disease. Unless the gene was changed, there was no possibility of cure. However, Bai Chuan was the only person who tried to cure her after she fell ill.

Mu Xiaoya: “Why are you going to cure me?”

Bai Chuan: “I want to marry you.”

Mu Xiaoya laughed: “If you marry me, you will soon become a widower.”

Bai Chuan insisted: “I – I want to marry you.”

Bai Chuan, who has cognitive impairments, can’t express his meaning very well, and can only repeat it over and over again.

Later, Mu Xiaoya still died. When she woke up, she returned to the summer of her college graduation.

Bai Chuan: “I… I want to marry you.”

Mu Xiaoya: “Good.”

The starlight in the eyes of Bai Chuan was the most beautiful scenery that Mu Xiaoya had ever seen in her life. <<less

On one spring evening when I was eight years old, I, Erica, Duke of Aurelia’s daughter, realized something.... more>>

Huh, I have reincarnated into a fantasy world, haven’t I?

Moreover, it was the romance-fantasy girl game that had the reputation of being bloody, 『Liber Monstrorum ~Phantom Beasts and the Winter Princess~』

The face reflected in the mirror was that of the villainess character of that game.

After repeatedly harassing many characters, including the heroine, she would die without exception, signaling the beginning of an event called the bizarre incident. She was a villain who deserved to get the consequences!

—I absolutely don’t want a destiny like that, though?

No, since I have remembered the memory of my previous life, I will make sure that kind of thing does not happen.

In my previous life, I was harassed immensely by an irrationally angry yandere man who thought I was in love with him.

My cause of death, too, was from being stabbed by another yandere man who I only had talked with a few times…

Now that I have become the haughty villainess Erica, I shouldn’t encounter more misunderstandings like with the previous life’s yandere men anymore, right…?

In that case, it will be fine as long as I deal with the death flags that I may have raised myself.

All right! First of all, before the bizarre incident begins at the Magic Academy, I will strike down the death flags accordingly!!

—Or so I thought, but it seems that I am about to die.

Eeh, how did this happen—!? <<less

Yu Ziyou and Zhong Wan served different masters.... more>>

They had once been the closest of souls, and were the bitterest of enemies.

After losing the fight for the throne, Zhong Wan brought his two young masters with him far toward the borders for the sake of survival.

Lin Feilu, or better known by her nickname—Green Tea Princess, was the best of all the scheming b*tches that the world had ever seen.

The living environment was very harsh.

Lin Feilu, who wanted to be a good person: … You forced me! Sorry, I can only activate my unique skill.

Harem fight? Striving for favor? Climbing the ranks?

Apologies, but let me show you what it means to be slaughtered by a maxed out player.

Note: “Green Tea” is a woman who presents herself as innocent, sweet, and kind but is very scheming and calculative in reality. <<less
