The genius sorcerer of the Riyat Empire, Ashin Judin.... more>>

After a long war, she was casually enjoying a nap when the emperor issued an order.

“Now that the war is over, you have nothing else to do. Get married.”

The other person was someone Ashin knew well.

Commander-in-Chief, Leotard Van Mur, whom she had clashed with on even the tiniest things during the war.

‘Even though it’s a political marriage, is it fine to get married like this? It seems like it would be better to run away for now.’

However, Leotard, having made a deal with the emperor, had no intention of letting Ashin go…

“Whether you want it or not, running away isn’t an option.”

“We both don’t want it, so why should we go this far?”

“As long as you fulfill your marital duties, I wouldn’t ask for anything else. Not a child, not you.”

Ashin believed that they could maintain their married life without seeing each other for at least three years, but is that true?

‘Wait, merely fulfilling my duties is enough? If it’s about marital duties…’ <<less

She thought the man was dead.... more>>

His raven black hair, long eyelashes, sharp jawline and plump lips.
As she was treating him, Swan fell in love.

“I-I think I’m pregnant. So, uh, take me as your wife…”

“……..”

All because of ‘love’. Oh to be condescending as a young girl. The man didn’t love Swan, she was only a toy of momentary interest for him.

Atlion never answered her question.

___

“You’re the one who said you wanted me. Didn’t you say you’ve never regretted a day that you were with me?”

“Heart is something that changes as much as we want, Your Majesty.”

It was hell.

Her words seemed to make my blood vessels harden.
I always want to see and touch her, but she won’t allow it anymore.

I’m afraid of you.
You, who don’t love me.

The story of Swan, who once loved a man with lost memories- “Atlion”. What will become of this perplexing romance? <<less

Liv Rodaise was an ordinary tutor.

To pay for her sick sibling’s medicine, she had discreetly posed as a nude model a couple of times. She thought it wouldn’t be an issue—after all, only her back was painted.

That is, until someone purchased the nude painting that revealed her profile.

***

“God may listen, but He doesn’t grant wishes.”

The words were muttered cynically, barely loud enough for Liv to hear.

“The power to achieve something lies with humans, Teacher.”

His low voice was chilling, yet somehow alluring, like the song of a siren.

His blue eyes, which had been fixed on the statue, flicked down to Liv.

“So, pray to me.”

The marquis’s lips twisted ever so slightly. That fleeting moment of eye contact felt like an eternity.

“Who knows? A miracle might happen.” <<less

Christine was an elite member of a guild who had excellent commissioning skills, but she couldn’t break the curse that caused abnormalities in her body. She suffered her whole life and was only exploited by the guild she worked for.... more>>

She infiltrated the Black Fang Guild, which was said to be full of people who inherited the blood of beasts, to retrieve the jewels that would relieve the pain caused by the curse, but she lost her life when the internal injuries she had suffered went beyond her limit.

But what was happening?

When she opened her eyes, she had returned to a time when she was relatively healthy.

In addition, the pain caused by the curse had surely subsided the moment she touched the gorgeous man who held her when she fell.

‘I might be able to break my curse if I approach that man.’

Christine deliberately approached him to find a clue to lift her curse, and succeeded in seducing him.

“I said I wouldn't hurt you, but you're not cooperating.”

“Ah…”

However… She had no idea that the man she spent the night with was the hidden power of the Black Fang Guild.

***

Christine regretted bringing up the spy conversation.

She knew how cruel the Black Fang Guild was to those who tried to harness their power.

As expected, Edgar’s eyes shone coldly when she mentioned the spy.

“If I find a spy… I’ll kill them.”

“…”

But for some reason, he looked at her frightened lips and added something he wouldn’t normally say.

“If the spy is pretty, I might let it go.” <<less

I became the heroine of a tragic novel. Betrayed by my fiancé, I'm destined to marry a madman consumed by possessiveness and obsession, a fate that will break me both physically and emotionally.... more>>

‘I'd rather die!’

If I stay on this path, my life will end in a sad ending, a bad ending, a f*cked up ending! To prevent the original story from unfolding, I need to find a husband who will marry me. I need someone who will protect me from my family, who are trying to sell me for money, and my ex-fiancé, who will inevitably come crawling back.

I need someone who will confine me in the name of protection, without demanding my love... Is there a husband out there who will confine me?

***

I found a man who met my criteria and slammed my seal on the contract. All he has to do is pretend to love me and confine me.

"Do you still think I'm acting?"

Why is he in my bed?

"I've been watching you from the beginning."

My (contractual) husband seems to be getting too into his role. Look, you just have to confine me, okay? <<less

She had never been real to them.... more>>

“I never thought of you as my wife.” Even her husband by contract,

“My wish? It’s for you to disappear.” Nor the son she didn’t share a drop of blood with.

Daphne decided to give up everything then.

The Madam disappeared. To be precise, she disappeared before the Young Lord’s birthday, leaving only a single letter. Everyone didn’t mind and thought that she would be back soon.

One day, two days, ten days.

The Madam didn’t return, and everyone went looking for her. But it was already too late. <<less

Iris, who was possessed by a hero comic she enjoyed reading before she died.... more>>

A gloomy Kyodam City where all kinds of villains run rampant.

The city with the lowest citizen happiness index in the world, the city that she least wants to live in, and a place with ominous rumors that you can enter however you want, but when you leave, even the mayor turns into a villain and demands money.

She was possessed by a common citizen of Kyodam City, a paradise for villains, and struggles to survive.

After 22 years of wishing to awaken her abilities by pinching wild dogs and cats, a c*astity belt she bought at an antique shop changed her fate…

“By the way, what is Iris’s hero name?”

“…Hero name? I, c*astity belt girl…”

“What a…great name.”

It’s good that she’s a hero, but the state of her skills is a bit strange?

She slowly lowered her head, wondering if it could be true.

Something golden, which seemed to be the same material as the c*astity belt’s chain, was sticking out from her skirt and coiling on the floor like a snake.

“Could this be… a whip?”

Iris swallowed hard and picked up the monster that had fallen to the floor.

Then, the chain that had been hanging limply became stiff and suddenly swung like a whip.

“This is a whip.”

Iris, who was getting stronger and more uglier as she went on hero missions, eventually caught the attention of the villains… .

“Isn’t… I shouldn’t be here? T-that’s right… I shouldn’t be here… I shouldn’t be here…”

The loner, a pure stalker who had a crush on Iris for 14 years.

“Huh, do you think I’ll do something harsh to you? Don’t fool around.”

The arrogant, scheming man who told her not to fool around but ended up falling for it even more, and

the mad scientist who was trying to put her in his collection.

Strange but charming villains, and the even stranger hero Iris who tried to get involved with charming men and extract their abilities since she’s already in this situation.

‘He who wears the crown, bear its weight.’

She tries to defeat the villains(?) for the peace of Kyodam City, but she finds out that there is a huge mastermind behind it…! <<less

Princess Stella is the unwanted burden of her kingdom, cherished only for her pretty face. Oppressed in her homeland, she faces the grim prospect of being sold off as tribute the moment she comes of age. It is in this desperate moment that she encounters a stranger who changes her fate.... more>>

“I’m looking for something important. I need your help, Princess.”

The man who abducts her with this bizarre request is a Northerner, known for their exceptionally developed physiques. Worse yet, he is a man transforming into a monster due to an ancient curse passed down through his ancestors.

“Do you really think I can help break your curse?”

“Yes. Show a little kindness to a guy who’s turning into a monster in less than a year.”

Islay gives her three months to find the gem necessary to lift the curse tied to his blood. As time slips away, Stella, ignorant of the gem’s true nature, begins to feel a strange kinship with the man isolated from the world.

Until the prophecy reveals that it isn’t the gem, but her sacrifice that is needed to save him from becoming a monstrous beast. <<less

Liese has settled in a strange city with the stigma of being a fallen noble.
Desperate to make ends meet, she visits a duke's estate to find work as a maid.
The man she encounters is none other than the blonde officer she spotted by the lake.... more>>

"Lift up your skirt. Don't make me tell you twice."

The relationship that began as a misunderstanding was terrible. Marcus starts groping Liese and humiliating her.

"I thought you'd run away, but you crawled back. You're made for servitude, aren't you?"
"I'd do anything for my family."
"Does this mean I can test you to see how far you can go with that body?"

Liese is determined to make it until summer, but one day, an unexpected crisis strikes.
Marcus, who has extended a helping hand as if he had been waiting, offers a deal.
She'll pose as his lover this social season.

The two embark on a flirtatious relationship, but as the days go by, they can't tell if their desire to kiss each other is an act or the truth.
Unlike Liese, who can't seem to get her act together, Marcus harbors a desire so twisted it's almost unbearable… <<less

I set out for a remote hotel where my uncle last stayed, hoping to uncover the truth behind his death. But this place… it’s anything but normal.... more>>

“I’m sure you’ve already experienced countless inexplicable events while exploring the hotel—things that defy all logic”

Welcome to Belvedere, a bizarre hotel that serves non-human guests and employs monstrous staff. According to the enigmatic general manager, I’m now the owner and can never leave—not even in death. This has to be a scam. No matter what, I have to escape. I refuse to die in a place like this.

“I don’t understand why you’d want to leave the hotel.”

“…”

“I can grant you anything you desire—even the end of the world, if that’s what you wish.”

“…Is that even possible?”

A blue-eyed monster whispers in a chilling voice, “Since the beginning, I’ve never failed at anything I’ve attempted.” <<less

The city has fallen. Her family is dead. Her friends were killed right before her eyes.... more>>

Veronica ran, but it was futile. The moment she locked eyes with it, her life was turned upside down.

“You’ve already been assimilated.”

The man, who roughly grabbed her by the hair, stared at her with disdain as she struggled.

“Do you want to live?”

"Ugh… hng…"

"Even if you have to crawl through the fires of hell, do you want to live?"

"Let me go…"

"Answer me. If you say you want to die, I will grant you a painless death."

I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die. I’ve only just been reborn.

"Then ask for my help."

The man, as if reading her thoughts, muttered in a low voice. His burning gaze pierced straight through her.

“I want to live… Help me.”

At that moment, she had no idea that his holy breath and saliva would save her. That he would become her god in the absence of the one who had vanished. <<less

One day, Freya receives an order from the emperor to marry the so-called devil, the Margrave of Niflheim.... more>>

He was a man shrouded in countless rumors, such as being a monster who bewitched people, a vicious ugly man, and a madman who celebrated slaughter.

In reality, he looked like a devil who was just terribly bored, an ordinary man who was locked up behind a high castle wall awaiting his death.

However, his infinitely deep black eyes were filled with a freezing hatred.

"Are you scared?"

The man looked down with those eyes and whispered to Freya.

"I'm not treating the woman who will carry my child carelessly."

Ironically, it sounded like he was whispering that he would surely kill her when she had fulfilled her duty. <<less

Anais knew she was fated to die once the coup d’état ended. So, rather than dying in vain just as the original story mandated, she instead willingly stood in between Kylian, who she loved, and a gunshot, which would have killed him. And so, Anais died in place of him.... more>>

But after her demise, Kylian went crazy.
He did everything he could to revive Anais, however, the Anais who Kylian saved was a fake.

Meanwhile, despite dying once, Anais woke up in a different body. From there, she went to find Kylian so that everything could be restored, but… <<less

Iru, called the monster of the imperial palace due to severe burn scars.... more>>

Despite people's contempt and disgust, she was happy because of her comrades in the 9th Knight Order who were like family.

Until the holy sword appeared.

With the emergence of the holy sword, said to make its wielder the emperor according to legend, the imperial family was thrown into chaos, and the 9th Knight Order was also mobilized for the mission to retrieve the holy sword.

But they were ambushed by unidentified assailants,

and Iru, with her last strength before dying, grasped the holy sword.

And when she opened her eyes again, Iru had transformed into a completely different appearance.

A beautiful body without a single scar, free from pain.

'I'll have my revenge. I'll find out who they are and behead them.'

But her newly acquired body is still weak, and she's about to be sold at a s*ave auction.

Hearing that a royal has come as a customer, she thinks of somehow being sold to that person to return to the imperial palace....

"How much for this woman?"

Iru looked up in shock at the man who had come up.

The man asking for her price was the 5th Prince Nergal, who absolutely shouldn't be in a place like this.

The person who was her brief childhood acquaintance and the one who avoided her the most in the imperial palace.

* * *

Nergal gazed at her sleeping form.

He recognized her as Iru the moment he saw her. He couldn't help it. As a child, he had imagined countless times what she would look like as time passed.

How she would look with her hair grown out after it had been cut short for training, how much deeper her purple eyes would become that used to glare at him asking if he was bullying her again, how much more her arms and legs would grow that she used to boast were longer than her peers'. More often than she chattered about becoming a great knight when she grew up, he had thought about her future.

And he had forever lost the chance to see that future he had imagined.

Because of his mistake.

Nergal's eyes flashed as he embraced Iru. Whether it was the power of the holy sword or some other wicked force, he didn't care.

He had no intention of letting go of what he had regained, even if it killed him. <<less

Erica received a marriage proposal from her childhood friend, Roderick, who returned from the military and spent a steamy night with her.... more>>

One day, while lost in sorrow, she went to assist a certain lady in childbirth...

"...Roderick?"

The man she thought was dead turned out to be the woman's husband!

In the end, she decided to give birth to the child of the man who had betrayed her. With his child in her belly, she ran away. But fate is relentless, and a few years later, she encountered him again, one child at a time.

"Huh, this child looks just like me."

"What the hell are you talking about? This child is not your child!"

Erica's once peaceful life spiraled into chaos from that moment onward.

Roderick, what on earth is going on with you?

He was supposedly dead but now alive, claiming another woman's child as his own, yet still insisting that Erica was the only woman for him. He was clearly frail before, but now was a wanted criminal, known for defeating dozens of mercenaries on his own.

What is the real lie behind Roderick's lies? <<less

The butler, Raymond, who used the witch for his family.... more>>

The friend, Pel, who betrayed the witch for freedom.

The fiancé, Glenn, who deceived the witch for his lover.

None of them regretted it.

Thus, the witch, Leticia...

"Regression, you say. And at such a time."

When she returned to a time where she could not avoid death and faced her enemies, she made a firm decision.

If Leticia had to die anyway, she would make them regret killing her.

Even if she had to act to do so.

"Then you must live, Master. Live, split my heart in your hand, and laugh at me."

But why?

"It seems you still don't know, Leti. Without you, there is no me."

Why do you look at me like that?

"Do as you wish, young lady. Be it life or death. I will follow."

Leticia looked at those who would give everything to save just her.

Those who crumbled at her feet, regretting, even though she hadn't died yet.

There was affection there that no one had ever given her.

Of all places, there. <<less

Sia, who always lamented, ‘Why am I the only one without a cat?’, ended up chasing after a stray cat—only to be transported to another dimension.

The place she arrived in was the Pelles Empire, the land of cat werebeasts.

Though she was initially frightened after being dropped into an unfamiliar world, that fear quickly faded as she basked in what felt like a paradise for cat lovers.

Then, she encountered a strikingly beautiful black-maned male cat…

***

She looked down at the cat nestled quietly in her arms, gazing back at her. She had seen many cats since arriving here, but this was the first time she had encountered one with heterochromatic eyes.

“Black fur and odd eyes? Oh, you’re just too charming.”

Sia sat down on a nearby chair and lifted the cat in her arms to meet his gaze. Staring blankly at the strikingly handsome feline face, she couldn’t help herself and kissed him.

Nox’s gold and blue eyes widened in utter disbelief.

“Hehe, I didn’t mean to! You’re just so handsome that I kissed you without thinking!”

He had been too stunned to react properly for a while now. He was experiencing more new things in a single day than he had in his entire life.

“If I could be the butler of a cat as handsome as you, I’d gladly spend my entire salary on you. Please, will you live with me?”

Just like she had always done with stray cats, Sia asked for his permission as if making a marriage proposal.

However, she failed to notice something—the cat’s tail had stiffened straight up.

Sia had no idea.

She didn’t know that all the cats she had encountered in this world were actually cat werebeasts who could shift into animal form.

She didn’t know anything about the ruthless wild instincts that lurked beneath their cute exteriors.

Caught off guard by her words, Nox let himself get swept up in an emotion he couldn’t name, and closed his eyes.

It was a complex feeling, but the decision was simple.

Nox answered with a long, drawn-out meow.

He would allow it.

Yes. He would be with her. <<less

"Eyes filled with pure, unconditional trust. You usually only see that in beasts, don’t you think so, Miss Rian?"... more>>

The name Rian felt unfamiliar. Though she had lived just as many years as Rian as she had as Jiah, the name still felt like it belonged to someone else.

“You must have mistaken me for someone else.”

She brushed it off with a reply she’d given countless times before. Like a machine, she repeated the same line. Jiah had no intention of becoming entangled in his life ever again.

“I never said it was a person.”

“...Pardon?”

When she furrowed her brows slightly, Tristan’s lips curled into a smile right before her eyes. She thought she had walked straight into a wordplay trap.

“I lost the beast I once raised. I thought you might be able to find it.”

She couldn’t tell if he was joking or being serious. Jiah didn’t answer right away this time. She took a moment to choose her words carefully.

“I’ve never raised an animal before.”

She had never raised one, never lost one, and never tried to find one either.

“Let’s find out. I believe someone like you could, Miss Rian.”

The certainty that he would never know the truth wavered slightly. <<less

I am a cursed monster—a curse that can only be lifted by love. My head is covered in shiny blue scales and thick leathery skin with yellow reptilian eyes.... more>>

The prince who supposedly loved my powers ran away because he couldn’t kiss me. In a fit of anger, I drank heavily and taunted my male friend.

“Who would love a monster? Can you love me?”
“Yeah.”
“What? You would sleep with me?”

In that one haphazard moment, I had a taste of adult pleasure…
The curse was lifted!
I became a very lovely lady, just like my beautiful parents!

I love you too! I love @^#$& too…! I love…?

“Who is that?”

I’ve lost my memory. I have no idea who that friend was, the one I crossed the line with. <<less

The Verdier family, who owns a small estate in the southwest of the Swanton Kingdom, which has regained peace after the war, is experiencing serious financial difficulties. The Viscount doesn't has a son and Alice, the beautiful daughter of the family, seems to have no way to save her family other than to welcome a splendid groom in this social season.... more>>

It was an unrequited love. ... more>>

One that could never be fulfilled and one that could never be wished for.

Licht McClellan, the Cardinal who had saved her, as he would save many others, was considered a candidate for the next pope because of his acts of salvation. But everything changed when he found her in the Count’s mansion, engulfed in flames and lying in a pool of blood.

[Louise.]

[My Louise]

Licht, a symbol of abstinence and moderation, lost his senses and rushed at her like a beast, and Louise did not refuse him.

"If you’re in pain, embrace me, Licht".

On the contrary, she took advantage of the opportunity to seduce him.

This was the price to pay for having sinned, an eternal separation. 

That was clearly how it should have been.

"I have lost count of how many times I have been ripped apart like an animal. So why did you abandon me? You will remain by my side, no matter what. If you want to go that far and sacrifice your body to save me… You should be prepared and take full responsibility, Louise."

The man who had once been admired by all and who had become the most noble pope in the realm,

“Louise, as of today, you belong to me. All that you’ll think about, look at, and even listen to will be me..”

With a face as beautiful and noble as an angel's, he whispered lovingly like the devil.

"That is the punishment and reward I am giving you." <<less

Isu was trapped in a building on a deserted island.... more>>

She had no memories, no recollection of how she got here.

She was rescued by one of the survivors of a plane crash that took place on the island.

Hayden Wight. A young gentleman from the United Kingdom. Representative of a security company.

Meeting him could have been a blessing, giving her the chance to escape from vicious criminals.

From his eyes to his lips and his whole body, the man also seemed to want to give her a chance to start a new life.

***

“I don’t know my name or my age. I don’t even know what kinds of danger I am in. That’s why it’s a bit difficult for me to be next to a man.”

Isu expressed concern.

“I mean, you could also be in danger if you were to get involved with me.”

A warm breeze blew in from the sea.

As the sand particles began to fly through the air, Hayden covered Isu’s face with his hand and replied,

“Then I’ll have to receive higher compensation. I don’t intend for you to pay me with your body, so you can rest easy.”

Unlike usual, Isu could barely control her expression. The memory of last night suddenly came to mind.

His blue eyes focused on Isu.

“Y-you’re staring at me like a filthy beast.”

Isu stammered, unable to respond properly.

Just then, the question that followed took her breath away.

“Who was it that pretended to be asleep and turned me on?”

She knew he had seen it all last night. <<less
