The sudden death of one’s older brother and his wife.... more>>

Amidst this man’s quiet and boring life that resembled a black-and-white movie, the overflowing energy of a six-year-old girl came out of nowhere.

The fearless Baek Tae-joon came to collapse without mercy.

[Could you become Rose’s home tutor until the end of this semester?]
This was what Tae-joon suggested to ‘Miss Minnie’, a kindergarten assistant teacher whom Rose clung to often.

[The basic salary for about 4 months is $100,000. Including a $50,000 contract basis and a $50,000 bonus at the end of June.]
And, by the way.​

‘I’m finally going crazy.’

The red cheeks, the fair and translucent skin, the cherry-like lips that seemed to be coated in sticky syrup, the feeling of her soft hands, and the strangely ticklish, whispery voice grazing his ears.

The image that popped into his mind without warning hardened his lower abdomen.

He was raving for Rose’s teacher, ‘Miss Minnie’, almost all the time.

Because of her sensitive adolescent complex and college trauma, Min-hee mastered the expertise of unrequited love.

“Will I never try s*x before I die? I wish there was someone who could help me practice how to seduce a man. Maybe I’ll just never have a proper relationship and die leaving only my kittens behind, hnng-”

“You have a cat?”

“No. Hik.”

Tae-joon agilely caught a gap and held onto it.

“Don’t cry. You can practice seducing a man using me.” <<less

Original title “Moon and Tide”... more>>

Lu Xici has been in the industry for many years and has a well-known “secret” – she got married at a young age.

She always wears a plain ring on her left ring finger, and whenever asked, she would shyly smile.

Anyone who sees this smile would think that the two of them are deeply in love, and she is very happy. Only she knows how forced that smile is.

Lu Xici originally thought that Jun Youyue didn’t like her.

With a written contract, they have been married for three years, and the total number of words they have spoken to each other does not exceed ten.

Jun Youyue also has a highly publicized scandal partner.

It wasn’t until Lu Xici accidentally saw Jun Youyue’s photo album that she discovered it was full of pictures of herself.

***

Jun Youyue also has a “secret”.

She has been in a secret marriage for many years, and her wife is her lovely little green plum*.

*childhood sweetheart

She would grab her clothes and call her jiejie*, cling to her neck and kiss her ear, and even when she was tired, she wouldn’t forget to ask for a goodnight kiss.

*elder sister

Who could resist falling in love with that? Well, Jun Youyue couldn’t.

She always thought that her married life was harmonious and their feelings for each other were good.

Until one day, Lu Xici suddenly handed her a divorce agreement without any warning.

Jun Youyue was dumbfounded.

How can you chase your wife if your mouth is too s*upid? Waiting online, very urgent.

***

Small scene:

In the travel variety show “Honeymoon Again,” the director gave Jun and Lu a few mission cards with questions from netizens.

Question 1: How does Ms. Jun view the rumors about the original state of their relationship?

Jun Youyue innocently: I think our relationship has always been good, right?

Lu Xici snorted: It has indeed always been good.

It was she, as the person involved, who had a blackout after drinking and didn’t know what happened before.

Question 2: Is it true that Actress Lu pursued Ms. Jun for over five years?

Jun Youyue grabbed the microphone: I pursued her.

Question 3: How often do you two…?

Lu Xici: Is it appropriate to ask this??

Jun Youyue: You should ask how many times per day.

Question 4: Do you want children?

Jun Youyue: ?

Lu Xici: This is getting more and more unscrupulous! Director!

In the end, the director was chased around the island by Lu Xici’s people for an hour. <<less

Erdene, the heir to the belligerent Hirshstein Empire, the next owner of the throne, the iron-blooded princess. What awaited her, who had returned victorious from a long war, was the position of queen of the Kingdom of Vetor, a kingdom she had never held a grudge against.... more>>

"This cannot be! How can Your Majesty do this to Her Highness the Princess!"

Erdene, who had to accept everything that was changing without her being able to do anything about it, and a life that she had never thought would be her future.

And the king who came to meet her, Arkan, a king who hated 'violence' and loved peace and reading.

The moment Erdene met him, she thought.

'This man is not right for me.'

* * *

"All I had to do was say 'I'm sorry', but you're making it sound like a serious confession, that's why."

"This is ridiculous. So in the Empire, do you just hit someone and say 'Oops, sorry?' and move on?"

"It's the other way around. Do you think our people are some kind of back-alley thugs?"

"Who said that?"

The woman with jet-black hair pulled back roughly frowned her white and fair face and said.

"If you hit us once, we'll hit you back twice. That's how we apologize, Your Majesty."

Then, a man who looked as gentle as a large dog glared and slammed his fist on the table.

"What kind of apology is that! What country calls that an apology?"

"Our country."

The woman sneered.

The man, who had been looking at her with an expression of disbelief, also burst out laughing and turned his head away.

Turning their backs on each other like sulky children, the two people, ironically, were thinking the same thing.

'What the hell is this!' <<less

“Just dance, like a living doll.”... more>>

On the day she contemplated giving up ballet, a passion she had dedicated her entire life to, that man, the terrifyingly beautiful Enrico Michele, approached like a whispering devil, presenting a cunning proposal.

“Then I’ll tell you about your dead parents.”

A secret he hinted at along with an ambiguous sponsorship.

“Don’t you want to know the truth?”

Even knowing that becoming a puppet for him would lead her further into darkness, she was willing to do so to unravel the mystery of her parents’ death. <<less

“We’ll be entering a contract marriage?”... more>>

Melissa, an omega and an illegitimate child of the Rosewood County.
Her only family and the only one who was ever on her side—her mother—had passed away.

“…This is not the Count’s funeral hall.”
“I couldn’t be certain because your pheromones were too light, but it’s true. You’re an omega.”

At that point in her life, Melissa was about to become the wife of an old marquis. It was a sacrifice she had to make for the sake of her family.
However, Ian appeared in front of her and gave one final choice that she could make.

“The contract’s main stipulation is very simple. Give birth to an alpha who will become the household’s successor.”

The contract marriage that began as such was like a sweet, sweet melody.
Knowing that one’s life was about to be devoured, but nonetheless addicted to that sweetness—unable to escape. <<less

Lin You He excelled in everything – his looks and accomplishments were all top notch, but he was very dense in the emotional department that made people feel frustrated.... more>>

Even if a marriage contract fell from the sky, he would not feel anything. All he knew was to remember his identity and fulfill the contract.

On the day of the wedding, he was still apologizing for his friends’ teasing.

“I’m sorry Mr. Lu, they don’t know the situation, so I hope you don’t mind……”

The other party lowered his eyes to look at him, “I don’t mind.”

Lin Yu He felt relieved, as he thought that the rumors were wrong and that the other party was not as insensitive as he was rumored to be.

Until that night, he did not manage to get any sleep.

The next day, Lin Yu He braced his sore legs and asked in a voice that was hoarse from crying, “Let me confirm again, we will divorce after the contract is over, right? The kind of mission last night only needs to be done once, right?”

The man who was about to reach out to help him massage his waist narrowed his eyes, his voice was low and his words curt: “No divorce, no stopping it.”

Lin Yu He: “……”

He looked at the man whose gaze was obscure, and finally had a change from his usual dullness, keenly perceiving the looming danger: “How about we talk about the divorce first……”

The next second, he was pinched at the back of his neck.

“Ning Ning.”

The man called him by his nickname, and his breath invading all his senses.

“You didn’t even look at me that seriously when we got married.”

“Also, last night wasn’t a mission.” <<less

Dahlia Von Klose who possesses two powers at the same time and the Fifth Returner [5th time regressor] Jurgen Axel Edelred.... more>>

In order to survive one more day, the two desperately needed each other.

Kissing Dahlia’s white legs up to her knees, he felt a distinct satisfaction.

Even if it’s a new presence in her world, yes. There is nothing different from the others. With a remorseful expression she’ll push him away saying don’t do this. She’ll hide the joy of having a higher status person with a dignified, proud face kneel before her, promising that he will grant anything she wants.

Grasping her heel, he swept up her soft calf and grabbed the back of her knee. Then he looked up at her as she trembled like her frightened bird.

Ha!

However, the moment Dahlia’s eyes met his, a chilling sensation of pleasure ran through Jurgen’s back.

Covering her mouth, Dahlia was holding back a burst of laughter, like someone who had seen a gruesome comedy. With her sight full of the kneeling man at her feet, she showed an unhidden scorn.

Unconsciously his grip grew stronger on Dahlia’s leg. Then she flinched and bent forward towards Jurgen. She still hadn’t erased a feeling similar to contempt in her eyes.

“What are you up to? Sir Edeled.”

It was a voice sweet as poison.

Smiling, Jurgen let her legs go, then got up on his knees. Following the dark red eyes that became cold in an instant, Dahlia’s held his stare.

The mask of the noble Jurgen Axel Edelred had cracked. The man’s eyes looked down obliquely and then grew long in a smile as he swept back his flowing bangs.

“Ah… . Did I get caught?” <<less

Be my girlfriend, just for today.... more>>

Top actor Tae Seo-joon approached an unknown woman with this insane proposition.

“Okay. I’ll help you!”

Aspiring actress Eom So-yeon, with nothing but her steadfast determination, accepted the role of a stand-in girlfriend, closing and then opening her large, revealing eyes.

It was a mad act, a whimsical twist of fate, or perhaps a divine error.

On a day when his perfect life, blessed from birth, felt unbearably mundane and disappointing, Seo-joon encountered the dazzling Eom So-yeon.

But she, who shook his entire sturdy life in an instant, vanished just as quickly.

And after more than three years, Tae Seo-joon, who left Korea without knowing the trials he had put her through, returned.

“Eom… So-yeon?”

He called her name.

So-yeon couldn’t tell him that their brief night resulted in ‘a beautiful child between us.

Although their encounter was short, Seo-joon never considered it a breakup and kept her in his heart.

Now, as they faced each other, two once-dead hearts began to race wildly.

It was a terrible thrill. <<less

"Elaina, Archduke Grant is coming to visit tomorrow....... Someone you like."... more>>

Diane's sobs reminded Elaina of a book. Every night, she read the same book over and over again in her dreams. In the book, “Moon Shadow,” Diane is sold off to become the wife of Archduke Grant due to family circumstances, preventing her from marrying the man she loves. The book ends with Diane, tired of her loveless marriage, taking her own life.

'This can't be happening!'

She had done so much to prevent Diane's misery. Now she can't stand by and watch her fall into the devil's maw.

"Don't worry, Diane."

Elaina took Diane's hand and reassured her.

"I'll take care of everything."

She will. Even if it means she herself marries him instead.

***

“You've interfered with every approach I've made to Diane Redwood, and now you're asking me to marry you?”

“Think of it more like a one-year contract than a marriage. We can give and take what we want from each other.”

Lyle Grant looked at Elaina with confusion.

“What on earth would you do that for?”

“I have a heart that won't let me turn away from a poor person.”

It wasn't just for Diane. Diane, the protagonist, Nathan, the love of her life, and Lyle and his younger brother. Everyone in "Moon Shadow" was unhappy, each for their own reasons.

“I promise, I'll be your wife for a year, but I'll do my best while I'm at it.”

Elaina smiled up at Lyle, her face full of confidence. She had a plan to make all the characters in the damn "Moon Shadow" happy. <<less

Iona, the knight who was the loyal dog of the tyrant Emperor, gave her life for him. But her lord, whom she trusted, abandoned her in the end, and the person who stood by her side in her death was no other than her husband.... more>>

“I want to kiss you one last time.” Iona demanded on the verge of death.

“I’m telling you in advance… Just in case… You won’t die and this won’t be our last kiss.”

Satisfied with her non-lonely death, she closed her eyes.

When Iona woke up again, she realized that she had returned to the past and her husband was again chosen to be her partner.

Though her past wasn’t good, one thing she also didn’t want to change was her husband, the only success in her life. If so, she should at least turn this marriage into a ‘successful marriage’, she decided.

“Lord Leroy, I will formally propose to you; Please marry me. I will definitely make you happy.”

Iona was determined to repay her husband for his generosity. Just the way she wanted. <<less

I've transmigrated into my favorite romance novel, which I've read hundreds of times while waiting for its completion.... more>>

Wouldn't it be wonderful if I transmigrated as a noble lady living a comfortable life? Unfortunately, I've transmigrated as the villainess who tormented the heroine mercilessly, ending up dying a horrible death as a fake saint candidate.

So, unlike the original story, I quickly resign as the saint candidate and leave the temple. I then set up a home for a fortune-teller who can predict fate accurately, thanks to my memory of the author's typos. My reputation soars as I impressively predict the future, which was initially just a means to survive.

As a result, the temple that once ignored me, the first prince embroiled in the Throne of Blood War, and the next Ma-topju (the highest-ranking official) consumed by unprecedented narcissism all begin to obsess over me.

To escape the most dangerous part where I'm killed off in the original work, the temple, I must enter into a contract marriage. But who should I marry to make it work?

After much deliberation, embarking on a contract marriage proves to be anything but easy.

How does one navigate a wise married life? <<less

I was possessed as a villainess from a 19+ novel. A typical role that torments the heroine and leads me to death. ... more>>

I did not want to give up this good family, so I cut ties with the main characters. I spent a hectic time driving out my bastard brother, taking over as heir after him, and developing the top of my family business.

I could confidently say that I lived quietly without any involvement in the original work. Until the male leads started interfering with everything I did one by one.

"It's ridiculous that you don't adore me anymore."

Crown Prince Rexed fueled my reputation as his stalker.

"That's interesting, I want to experiment on you."

Doesn't the magic tower lord Icarus show dangerous desires?

Above all, the strangest thing is Duke Calix, the main male protagonist of the original work.

"I was waiting for you to come to visit me."

"What? I beg your pardon?"

"Now you're finally looking at me."

Why are you looking at me like a puppy waiting for its owner?

It seemed like something was going terribly wrong. Why are the male leads from the original hanging around me? <<less

She was the youngest daughter of a villainous family and had possessed the body of the villainess of the original novel.... more>>

However…

“Once again, you’ve spent money extravagantly. Well done.”

“Daughter, shall we go shopping with Daddy? I bought another boutique just for you yesterday.”

“Here’s the key to the safe. If you need more, just let me know.”

“Evelyn, I had a top made just for you, so I can give you the very best!”

All I did was spend money, but the villainous family treated me very well.

With a family like that, who cares if I’m a villain or not?

I had thought about cutting ties with the original story because I didn’t want to trigger a love affair for the main characters or get entangled in death flags.

But then…

“The Princess forgot about me, it’s unbelievable.”

“Does the Princess treat love like a joke?”

Whenever I tried to distance myself, the main couple grabbed me.

It couldn’t be helped; the mad are the best at dealing with the mad.

As a last resort, I bought the craziest character in the original story, the sub-male lead and the leader of the underworld.

“Now, 200 gold. Play the role of my fiancé and try to drive them away.”

“That’s easy enough. Agreed.”

And just in case, I added another purse to the offer.

“…I’ll add another condition for 300 gold.”

“What is it?”

“Don’t fall for me.”

With a mischievous grin, Raphael laughed and said,

“Of all people, the Princess should not fall for me!” <<less

“I love you.”

“I don’t want to go back.”

Ludwig’s blue eyes, which used to be as dry as a desert, wavered like the blue sea.

“You shouldn’t have crossed this line, Elisha, if you didn’t want it to be like this.”... more>>

A sturdy arm wrapped around her swaying body. Her head became hazy and an intentional hot sweet sigh was pulled out of her.

‘How the hell did I get myself in this situation—’

Elisha recalled. This never happened before.

‘Yeah, I remember.’

Her future in which she would become the fake concubine to a demonic man from the same family, and would be eaten to death—even down to her bone marrow. A future in which the Cartier ducal family is embroiled in a power struggle and fragmented.

To avoid that future, Elisha threw herself at Lucerne, the archrival of her former life.

Yeah. There was no problem. She knew this man, before and after her regression. She already knew he was the most notorious maniac in the Empire.

20-year-old Elisha owes 30,000 gold coins (about 15 billion won in Korean currency or around 15 million in USD).

After going back in time, in order to avoid a hellish life because of debt, she becomes the most capable illegitimate child in the world and visits Lucerne, the archenemy of her master.

“What do you want from me?”

“Please lend me some money. And… make me your subordinate. I’ll give you all the information I have.”

“Why should I trust you?”

“I’ll give myself up as collateral.”

Lucerne listened to Elisha and watched her quietly.

“Okay. But I decide how to deal with the collateral.”

“…….”

“First of all, marry me.”

“…… huh?”

Elisha didn’t expect it either. That her information transaction would become a marriage contract. <<less

I was reincarnated into a rated-19 novel where the male lead went on a tumultuous rampage. Even worse, I was an extra character who couldn’t escape from the room and was destined to die, named Karentina Lorraine.... more>>

‘…I can’t die like this. I’ll survive.’

In order to survive, I decided to twist the frustrating original story. For a moment, I thought I was going to die… but did I get the buff of a transmigrator? Not only that I summoned a doll that looks exactly like the male lead, but I also gained the world’s only ability…

…Was the extra Karentina actually a munchkin?!

Using my newfound power, I saved all the characters who died in the original story, and with an unintended twist, I somehow helped the main characters walk a flower path toward happiness…

But, is their behavior strange?

* * *

“We’re ending our contractual engagement.”

As soon as Karentina finishes speaking, the temperature around her suddenly drops as if frozen.

“What… ending?”
“Our engagement. We were originally business partners since we have mutual interests, right?”

A mocking chuckle flowed from Ignis’s lips as if he had heard something unbelievable as he tapped the teacup lightly with his slender fingers. Despite a chill running down her spine because of the look in his bright eyes, she couldn’t back down.

“If you break off your engagement with me, who do you think you’re going to meet? Is it him?”
“No! Zion is a doll!”

Ignis’s red pupils narrow ferociously.
Why is he looking at me like that? He wouldn’t be planning to kill me, would he?
It was when I was worried about triggering another death flag.

“Did you say you like b*stards?”

“Ba-b*stards… I meant ‘big dog!’ People will misunderstand me if you keep twisting my words like that.”

Karentina cried and vented her frustration.

“Whether it’s a big dog or whatever.”

Her breath caught in her throat at Ignis’s devouring gaze.

“I’ll be an obedient dog that listens well, so stay by my side.”

…No, what kind of crazy talk is this?
I just twisted the original story to survive, but now, it seems like everything’s going wrong… <<less

The young man’s eyes turned cold for a moment. Whether or not he was tortured, he was about to die anyway.

After signing the contract, Xie Yin discovered that he was not raising a canary but the “super invincible supreme” version of the “sickly little ancestor”.

Shen Ning: “Ahem, cough, cough, what did you say!”

Gong’s mother: “…It’s nothing, I don’t want to be a mu*derer “

Gong’s weird friends: “Don’t think it’s a big deal that Xie Yin likes you, you are just a substitute… there will be angels who will love you for you.”

Shen Ning: ? Why suddenly poetic?

Later, when Gong’s ex-boyfriend returned to China, he sat elegantly in front of Shen Ning and said to him: “Did you know? Xie Yin likes to hear me play the piano the most.”

Shen Ning lowered his head and replied: “I don’t know, I just know that if you don’t return my phone to me, this place will soon be surrounded by police cars and ambulances.”

Shen Ning had just taken the phone back, and from the other end: “Why didn’t you answer my call?!”

Shen Ning frowned: “Your ex-boyfriend took the phone away.”

“You just gave it to him because he took it?” Xie Yin said angrily, “You’re driving me crazy on purpose!”

Shen Ning was confused, when did he get involved? Aren’t *you* driving yourself crazy?
