The enigmatic atmosphere encountered at the café led the owner to offer Tae-eun a cup of coffee without any charge.

Was that coffee the problem?

Since that day, Tae-eun has been tormented by scissors, trying to distance herself from the creepiness, but inevitably encounters the café owner, Ji Hyun-ho.

"Do you remember me, Noona?"

Hyun-ho appears in the nightmares tormenting her. Tae-eun finds herself drawn to the eerie dreams. They gradually become closer even in reality.

"Lately, you keep appearing in my dreams."

Hyun-ho confesses that he dreams the same dreams as Tae-eun. Then, with a cute smirk, he suggests, "Want to try something out?"

"What?"

"What we did in the dreams, do you want to try it in real life too?"

Owner of the opulent great theatre, a man with whom anyone may fall in love at first sight.... more>>

The audience recognized the famous name when they saw Edgar Wharton, the blond, gorgeous man enter the theatre.

Even though he makes several females lose sleep over their affection for him, Natalie has a crush on a genuine gentleman rather than this showy socialite.

However, Edgar Wharton, famous for winning ladies' hearts with his attractive grin, accidentally revealed her hidden, unrequited love.

"I'll help you."

The playboy of the social world and the bookworm of the baron's family shared a common goal: to assist each other in finding love.

“Natalie, will you be my girlfriend? Leonard will fall in love with you, and we can break up."

The curtain was raised on a play called 'Contract Dating,' in which the goal was to avoid falling for the other's act of love.

***

"I'm not good at deceiving others."

"Then try loving me."

The dominant man's smile was so appealing that it appeared seductive.

He asked her to cross the border, but he remained in place, commanding love but not loving.

Natalie vowed not to love him or allow herself to love him. But...

"Do you want to mess up my daily life?"

"Is it okay if I mess it up?"

Mr. Wharton smiled mischievously as he examined Natalie's lips.

"How far will you allow me?"

Can they avoid falling in love by the end of the play? <<less

The kingdom boasted a hero and formidable leader of the demon extermination force, Valen Rudwick. Amidst the chaos of battle, he tried to rescue a woman from a demon attack, only to be struck on the back of his head…... more>>

Unbeknownst to him, the woman he saved was not just any civilian but a succubus.

When Valen regained consciousness, he found himself not on the bloody battlefield but in a wedding hall within the demon realm.

“I am Argentine. And you are?”

“Do you think I’ll tell my name to a filthy demon like you?”

Weary from the prolonged wars, the demons proposed a political marriage to him. The absurd condition? It would last until Argentine, whom Valen saved, became pregnant with his child.

The idea of a child with demon blood repulsed him to the core. But pushed to his limits, Valen reluctantly agreed to their proposal.

“Let’s cease these charades and focus on what needs to be done. It’ll be better for both of us,” he growled.

“I want to give you time to accept…”

“Should I give not only my body but also my mind? Will that strengthen my ‘essence’?”

Valen was disgusted by the demons’ hypocrisy. He had intended to leave the demon realm as soon as the succubus bore a child.

“Whether you call for me or come to me, it’s up to you,” he said.

“…”

“I’ll do my da!mned best to give you my seed.”

Valen, the human warrior who despises demons, and Argentine, the demon king who sought peace through a child.

Can the demon realm truly find peace? <<less

Xu Heran stood in a dark warehouse. The woman in front of her – more beautiful than the moonlight, was the female lead of this book.... more>>

In the times to come, she would subject the female lead to humiliation, physical violence, verbal abuse, and a series of malicious cannon fodder acts. All of this would be faithfully displayed to the audience through the live cameras at the entrance, leading to her being boycotted by the entire internet, and enduring a lifetime of condemnation.

The female lead, having just finished practicing, stood in the moonlight, her expression almost enchanting. “Why did you bring me here?” she asked softly.

'Since it’s come to this, I won’t hold back.'

Xu Heran clenched her fist, her expression resolute, and shouted, “Xin Nuo, I love you!”
'I’ve read the original book ten times, and you’re Mommy’s favorite!'
“I’ll protect you!”
'I won’t let any scumbag touch a hair on your head!'

She raised her hand, her determined voice echoing in the warehouse. “In this lifetime, I’ll be crazy for Nuo Nuo, I’ll be wild for Nuo Nuo, and I’ll crash into walls for Nuo Nuo!”

Her resolute voice echoed in the warehouse, leaving the female lead dumbfounded and the director in disbelief. Only the fans in the live chat room sighed, “Wow, this is exciting!”

*

Xin Nuo was reborn.

Thinking back to her previous life, where she struggled and was controlled, she smirked. This time, no one would stop her from achieving her dreams! The first step to realizing her dream was to deal with the person in front of her who dared to humiliate her.

The development of familiar events deviated from her previous life when she heard the confession from Xu Heran. Later on, there was someone who frequently cared for her, someone who shielded her from prying eyes, and someone who snatched the drink and downed it in one go…

“Hic- I grabbed the heroine and ran away, so exciting!” In a hotel room, an intoxicated person chuckled.

“Exciting?” she smiled gently, her palm caressing someone’s cheek, “How about something even more exciting?”

A little puppy who later had turned into an alpha wolf, growing into the pursuing, affectionate, and coquettish Xu Heran x the originally strong and tough female lead Xin Nuo.
