It was said that the General of the border army was more than ten feet tall, has two heads and six arms, has a face like a devil, and was ferocious and rough. In Xu Kingdom, the word Demon General can stop children from crying.... more>>

The delicate and lovable An Ruanruan was given to marry such a cruel Demon General as soon as she came of age. An Ruanruan, who had only heard of the General's name in her boudoir, saw her husband for the first time on their wedding night.

She didn't know whether the Demon General was ferocious or not, but the hard stick under the General's body was very ferocious, and she was afraid of it.

*

When Wei Chengze returned victorious from the war, he received an imperial decree for marriage. This tough man, who had been alone for twenty-five years, now had a beautiful and delicate wife.

An Ruanruan, as her name suggested, was soft and tender all over her body. He even suspected that she would die if he pinched her even lightly, let alone doing those things in bed.

His little wife was small in every aspect, she was young, her mouth was small, and even the mouth down there was small, except for her pair of plump and huge breasts.

An Ruanruan's soft and waxy voice was filled with a hint of crying, gasping for breath between sobs, "Wuu wuu husband...you, please spare Ruanruan...my little hole and my belly are going to burst..."

Wei Chengze realized that her moaning sound was so pleasant to his ear! Even if he were to die, he would make sure he f*cked her until she couldn't cry anymore and then die on top of her!

Pampered and soft noble daughter x the tall and handsome General

After marriage, the General is like this:

When dealing with other girls: Who are you? Don't bother this General!

When facing Ruanruan: My wife is so beautiful, both delicate and lovable, this General really wants to make love to her until she can't get out of bed! <<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

“Divorce… let’s do it,”... more>>

Eli stopped unbuttoning his shirt and looked at Ruby. It was a rare expression of surprise, and Ruby was just as shocked. She had blurted it out impulsively, and even she was surprised by her own words. While wondering what answer she would give if he asked for a reason, she quickly shook her head.

“In two weeks.”

“…What?”

Eli unbuttoned his shirt with a seemingly casual voice.

“I have some business to attend to in the capital, so let’s do it then. I’ll inform the Emperor in advance.”

“…”

“Write down what you want when we divorce. I’ll take care of it.”

His response was so clean and precise that it almost felt surreal. Surprisingly, it was Ruby who found herself at a loss for words. How foolish of her to think he would at least ask her reason for demanding a divorce.

“Okay,”

Ruby said with a lonely smile and left the room. On the day they divorced, Ruby died in a carriage accident.

***

She woke up in her first year of marriage. She thought it would be easy to divorce again this time…

“I sent a letter to divorce.”

“What?”

“It’ll be over quickly if you tell His Majesty……”

“No, Ruby. I have no intention of getting a divorce.”

He said with a tender voice and a face she had never seen before. The second divorce from her husband didn’t seem easy. <<less

I reincarnated as Rowaine, the villainess who was fated to be executed for the sin of mistreating a shapeshifter. To escape death, I decided to replace my sister, Renee, in her arranged marriage.... more>>

The problem was that the person I was to be wed to, the notoriously cold-blooded Duke Blois, was a cat person.

“Darling, I heard that abusing shapeshifters like me is a hobby of yours.”
“From what I understand, there was no such condition that a woman who mistreats shapeshifters could never be the Duke’s marriage partner.”

His emerald eyes flashed dangerously. I quickly added before he could say anything else.

“If my hobby will pose a problem, then I promise that I will never play with the Duke.”

“Ha?”

This is the story of a 10-year contract marriage between a cat butler and a feisty cat shapeshifter. <<less

I knew that now that I was an adult, I would be sold.... more>>

However, I did not know that I would be used as a sacrifice.

“Were you abandoned?”

What waited for Bianca, who entered the empty reception room alone, was not despair, but Jillian Baloch.

He was a young and beautiful duke called the Dragon of Termina.

Not being oppressed by anyone or anything, including force, wealth, and power.

A man who seemed infinitely distant and did not seem human.

“Duke Baloch.”

The man who would tear me to death, the poor duke who lost his ancestral Duke at the hands of her father, The Emperor.

He laughed when Bianca called in a trembling voice. Sweetly, not like a smile directed at me, the daughter of an enemy.

And then he slowly called Bianca.

"Yes, madam?”

I was a sacrifice. An imperial sacrifice offered to the angry dragon of Termina.

“Duke?”

“The word 'Duke' feels too distant. Please call me Jillian, madam.”

“.......”

“Husband and honey are fine too.”

The beauty of a smiling man..

The man was crazy sweet. So much so that my heart was pounding without even knowing the reason. <<less

“This is a contract marriage.” “Yes, thank you!” “…What?”... more>>

Avril, a daughter who was hailed as a prodigy when she was young, was bullied for being ‘incompetent.’ For being a villainess, she’d be married to a lustful old duke in the place of her stepsister…

However, what was waiting for her was a beautiful young man who was the exact opposite of the rumors. But of course, the way the surroundings treated Avril, whom they believed to be a villain, was unfortunate.

Nevertheless, Avril, who was too accustomed to being oppressed, remained calm. She obediently demonstrated her insensitivity and abilities as a ‘villainess’, and transformed her surroundings into her ally.

On the other hand, the duke quickly found out that Avril was neither incompetent nor villainous.

“Avril, who dared to refer to you as ‘incompetent’ and as a ‘villain’? …I won’t forgive them.” “Uhm, that’s…?”

This is a story about a heroine who lived at her own pace even if she was unloved by her family, and was cherished and happy in her newfound world. <<less

‘I want to travel to a place unknown to the many…’... more>>

It was a passing wish to the weary and tired Eugene and she’d not think it’d ever come to pass… but it did.

She opened her eyes and found she was sent to a novel-like world she wrote in passing and became Jin Anika, the scorned queen notorious for her ruthlessness and undeserving of her status.

Queen Jin only sought and desired to see the destruction of this world — the villainess who met her untimely and miserable end at the hands of her husband, Kasser, the reigning king of the Fourth Kingdom.

While struggling to survive in the unknown world, King Kasser visited Eugene and demanded that a contract be fulfilled and come to fruition.

“Three years ago, we made a deal.”

It turns out the Queen was under a contractual marriage with King Kasser. The ultimate price? To bear him a child.

“A… a child?”

“Yes, my successor.” <<less

"Sell yourself to me, Princess. I will buy you for a very high price."... more>>

Sell herself?

Adeline's lips quivered. She couldn’t overlook such insulting words.

"How impudent! Is buying and selling people a norm in this kingdom?"
"Pardon me for being impolite.. When the Duke of Rocher has already put the Princess up for sale, it sounds naive coming from you."

Adeline, a noble Princess descended from two royal bloodlines, and Alexio, a half noble Duke with a commoner mother —a match that seemed impossible.

The whole nation is excited about the marriage of the century that has shaken the kingdom. But little do they know.
That their marriage was riddled with secret deals and contracts.

"I'll give you plenty of time to think about it. It's only natural to go through various verification processes for such a significant transaction..."
"I'll do it."
"...Yes?"
"I agree. To this marriage."

Why did two people who seemed totally mismatched end up joining forces? The real reason behind their marriage, kept under wraps, remained a mystery to everyone. <<less

He Guan had become a white moonlight of the scumbag hero in a BL novel.... more>>

In the early stage, he was abused, and in the later stage, he was beaten by the scumbag hero who was chasing his wife. In the end, the villain boss, the scumbag’s uncle Shen Hu, fed him to piranhas.

He Guan, “Who wants to be the white moonlight of this scumbag??”

Because the original body was short of money, he married the blind uncle of the hero. Later he regretted it and divorced the person. According to the plot, He Guan was about to become the ex-husband of the villain boss. After that, he would be abused for years and then die tragically by being food to the piranhas.

He Guan walked around the mansion with seven entrances and immediately tore up the divorce agreement. Although he didn’t like men, since he was married, that person was his husband.

Li Chao Ge had killed many people in her previous life.... more>>

When a family looked down on her, she obliterated the family. When the man she liked slept with her imperial sister, she killed the imperial sister. When her mother wanted to pass the throne to her younger brother, she killed her mother.

As Li Chao Ge wished, she became the female empress of the dynasty. She was sorry for many people, but never for Pei Ji An. But in the end, she was killed by Pei Ji’an.

Li Chao Ge didn’t understand, she was good to Pei Ji An, then why did Pei Ji An kill her?

Just because she had separated him and the imperial sister?

After rebirth, Li Chao Ge aggressively went to Pei Ji An’s engagement banquet to question him but suddenly saw Pei Ji An’s cousin.

The person was cold and elegant, like an immortal, very much in line with Li Chao Ge’s aesthetics. Li Chao Ge got tempted and decided to change her mind and rob the person first.

Qin Ke was one of four Lord of Heaven, he was the in-charge of justice. He was cold, ruthless, and unloving.

It was a sin for the immortal to move the mortal heart. Under his hand, countless immortals were deprived of their immortal bones and entered the cycle of reincarnation.

Because of some reasons, the catastrophe of Ji An failed, and Qin Ke went down to assist him to overcome the tribulation, and he became the cousin of Ji An, Gu Ming Ke.

But in the mortal world, the cold Lord of Heaven was robbed by a cruel woman.

Qin Ke thought this was just a catastrophe, and she was just an illusion. But in the end, he unknowingly sank into the illusion, unable to extricate himself. <<less

I’m a fake bride.... more>>

Diello Argenta’s name engraved on my back indicated that I was his soulmate… but I was a fake.
One day, I possessed the unscrupulous villainess’ body inside an adult novel.

Is there any way I could survive?

…Contract marriage!

I’ll be his wife and act the part to protect his purity until the real one appears. So when the Duke of Argenta awakens his power, he will destroy my villainous family.
While becoming a fake couple with the innocent Diello Argenta, acting sweet day and night…

“If your soulmate appears, it’s time to end the contract.”

Hearing that, Diello, the Duke of Argenta, gave me a long look.

“When a Ferro dies, a new Ferro will be assigned.”

As he grabbed the tip of my chin, the distance between us shortened.

“…I’ll kill them until it’s you.”

What’s with him?

Out of nowhere, he started obsessing over me. Wasn’t he supposed to be a pure and sweet guy?! <<less

“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

Edith Irene Brussels had a secret… the fact that she had experienced possession.

One day, she suddenly became Edith. Not only that, but it was in a completely different era, in a strange country she had never heard of before! Moreover, with strange abilities that others couldn’t see.

To return home, Edith chose a contract marriage with the genius wizard Duke.

“Will you marry me?”
“Yes! I’d love to!”

However,

“What’s going on? Does she really think she’s becoming the Mistress of a Duchy?”
“It’s Brussels. Has anyone heard of that family?”

Nobles ostracize those from fallen families.

“That’s even better!”

Thinking positively and walking alone, she constantly encountered troubled children behind the scenes of the social circle.

〈 Stress: 130/100 [ !! Danger !! ] 〉

[ Appropriate action is needed for the precious child. ]

“Viscountess, could you please hold the child’s hand?”

Unable to just stand by, she stepped forward and became known as a ‘problem solver’ in no time.

“Duchess, I’d like to meet separately next week.”
“Me too. Would you be able to come to our mansion?”

She was ranked first in the invitation list, despite being ostracized in high society.

The shocking news spread that Lady Setina Belbourne, an unknown man's child, had given birth, causing a stir in society. It was the work of her jealous younger sister and stepmother who wanted to take away her fiancé. General Axion Castawyn, the commander-in-chief of the imperial army, proposed to marry Setina, who had been jilted.

"I need a child, but using a real one would be pitiful, so a fictional one would be perfect."

He is the ruler of people, who with his mere presence, captures people's attention and even scares away beasts. Axion Castawyn smiled quietly like darkness. Setina decided to marry him for revenge, but the chillingly cold duke seemed strange.

"So from now on, we should be passionate lovers. A couple so in love that a baby could be conceived before we even enter the wedding hall."

Isn't it too intimate for a contractual marriage?

Goodbye, Mr. Heroine of the original.”... more>>

Three times of despair and death. At the end of it, I realized that the woman who took everything from my husband was actually a possessed person. It’s time for the fourth regression, and it’s time to reclaim everything that’s been taken from me. To do this, I needed a powerful helper. To a crazy, to a crazy bastard.

“Plunder me, Prince Arpad Eastrid.”

I commissioned him to marry me.

“In return, I will make sure that your Highness does not go crazy,” an offer that he can never refuse. I stared straight at him with a triumphant smile.

“You broke your promise.”

“What do you mean all of a sudden?”

“You say you won’t let me go crazy?”

“I did it, didn’t I? Now that the madness is all settled, we…”

Arpad hugged me tighter, as if to stop me from trying to escape.

“No, I’m already crazy,” Arpad whispered in my ear, breathing hot. “Who do you think it’s because of whom?” he asked, slowly raising my head to meet Arpad’s red eyes, unable to move his body with nervousness.

“No way, because of me…?”

“Yes. So you’re responsible.”

"When I first saw you, it was in a dark alley, and the second time, we met in the evening and stayed together until late at night. And now, here we are, spending the night together again."

Then, I swore to leave the male lead alone and live a long, healthy life.

However, the male lead’s face was enough to overpower even survival instincts.

Wow, Choi Ione. This is a problem.

That alone was enough to make my head spin,

While trying to figure out how to pay off their debts, she found a leaflet from the duke looking for a lost child.

The reward is so much money that you can play and eat even after you pay off your debts!

She took the lost Lapel and went to the duke.

“This is the child the Duke is looking for.”

Duke Chester said, looking at me with a doubtful glance.

“I need confirmation, so you should stay with my child in this house for the time being.”

The strange cohabitation of the three people started like that.

However, Lapel keeps thinking of me as a mother and won’t let her leave.

“I can endure it. If it becomes unmanageable, I’ll call the magician……!”

“It’s alright.”

After sleeping with him, I felt dejected and melancholy and avoided him. But eventually, Aslei boldly approached me and made a startling admission:

“Frisia. It is my fault and due to my insensibility that I did not confess before we slept together last night.”

Do you really like me? Isn’t that impossible?

After his confession, my heart pounds for no reason, but I can’t believe him because I know the storyline.

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.
