I am tired of being judged solely by appearance.
I wore the mask that they had made for me, showing only what those people wished to see.
Whenever I attempted to remove this forced mask, I was invariably met with such disappointment in their gazes.
As it was becoming increasingly burdensome, that’s when I met her.... more>>

Leila von Este.

Though she was born as the empire's only hyper-dominant omega,
She was entangled in the scandal of being 'the omega forsaken by the gods'.
Her unkempt and gloomy black hair, poorly maintained, framed her eyes…
Which shone like a beautiful rainbow but, tragically, could not see.

While her situation was indeed pitiable, to me, her misfortune became my sole refuge—my succor.
She was truly the perfect omega bestowed upon me by the gods.

...And it had to remain that way forever.
Even if it meant capturing her and locking her away should she dare to think of leaving my side. <<less

“I can help you become anything you want. What is it that you desire the most?” he asked with a soft voice while sweeping the hair from her forehead.... more>>

“You really thought that I’d sincerely embrace someone as lowly as you?”

Embarrassed, she avoided his gaze and clenched her hands until they turned white.

“Even your thoughts are silly. You are well aware of my identity…”

“Yes, I know.”

“Then say it. Who am I?”

The hand that was playing with her hair traveled down past her chin and ended up around her throat. Testing the strength of his grip, he slowly started applying more pressure and forced her to look at him. Her breathing became painful as he lifted her up by the neck until her heels raised slightly from the floor.

“I also hold your sister’s fate in the palm of my hand.”

He could see it in her eyes, something inside her had broken.

Her eyes, which once resembled the starry night sky, no longer held any stars.

As he watched the light in her eyes fade away, he relaxed his hands.

She wouldn’t try to escape him anymore. He knew this instinctively.

This feeling, which was similar to being doused in warm water, is definitely what he’s been craving.

It wasn’t anything like lust.

Yes, it was definitely a craving.

After he acknowledged his feelings, he began to desire to possess her entire world.

“If I can’t have you, I’ll ruin you.” <<less

According to what her manager, Ah Zhu Jie said, Yan Xi was just a twenty-eight tier small celebrity who graduated from an unknown art school with a non-specialized degree, without any acting skills, works, good family background and fans. Forget about being a celebrity, she wasn’t even worthy to be called an actress. An internet celebrity with plastic surgery that opened a taobao shop was way more famous than her. Of the three hundred thousand fans in weibo, two hundred thousand of them were low-quality ghost fans that she bought with money from her own wallet.... more>>

She was only able to continue acting because of her gold lord Gong Ding Chen. But Yan Xi didn’t know her boundaries and employed the old technique in the entertainment circle: to buy keyboard warriors to attack the only girlfriend that Gong Ding Chen had publicly announced, which was the big star Chen Man Xi. The ending was as expected, she ended up losing any chances to shoot, her fame had gone down the drain and everyone wanted to beat her up.

Therefore, carrying the triple burden of breaking up, cyberbullying and the humongous debt that her gambling-addicted uncle had left behind, Yan Xi killed herself by slitting her wrist. Outrageously, Yan Xi didn’t die and developed dissociative amnesia instead. Yan Xi, who had lost her memory, seemed to change into a completely different person… <<less

Three months after a global zombie outbreak, powerful mutant zombies emerge, causing the collapse of social infrastructure and turning the world into a lawless wasteland. Survivors in this devastated world have become extreme in their pursuit of self-preservation. Bo-yeon, who had been living in a safe bunker immediately after the disaster, is discovered by Do-kyung and becomes a victim of his coercion.

“Is something like this still alive and well…?”

Bo-yeon’s appearance was eerily reflected in Do-kyung’s eyes. It was as if his gaze was evaluating her like an object, assessing her usefulness and deciding whether to kill or exploit her.

“Please spare me…”

“If you weren’t a woman… I wouldn’t need you.”

Bo-yeon, as the cold and mysterious Do-kyung’s “woman,” begins to live under his protection.

“I like you. Including your obedient nature.”

A large hand, capable of smashing a human skull, wrapped around Bo-yeon’s round head. The touch, as if petting a dog, carried a chilling sense of dominance.

“What can you do?”

“…”

“What can I do?”

“…”

“Don’t even think about running away. If you get caught after trying, even if I try to be gentle, you won’t last a day.”

“…”

His voice was dry like he was just stating the facts.

“You can’t even breathe properly. Crying because it’s hard to shove a c*ck into your wet pu*sy hole when you’re good for nothing else. Even a few words scare you, and you shake pitifully.”

He gently stroked Bo-yeon’s smooth, white cheek, speaking with an affectionate tone. It felt like brainwashing, forcefully ingrained into the mind.

“Isn’t it easier to just act cute and receive attention when I find you adorable?”

Tap. Tap. He lightly tapped Bo-yeon’s temple, telling her to think carefully.

“Bo-yeon, answer. Be good.”

Bo-yeon had to respond. Submissively, like a small and pretty canary welcoming her owner’s touch. <<less

She came from a modern secret society. Cold and heartless, her appearance is nevertheless enchanting, and thinks of men as playthings. But someone plotted against her and her body was thrown into the sea. ... more>>

When she woke up next, she had transmigrated to become the youngest Empress Dowager of the Feng Yu dynasty. Her beauty is unparalleled and her heart is poisonous like a snake.

Poisoning the imperial concubines to death, executing the emperor, her means are cruel and bloody, truly hateful!

Her old lover, the new emperor absolutely hates her? Not only does he want to banish her to the cold palace, he also dares to slap her in the face?

The court ministers can’t wait to execute her under the law?

The imperial concubines in the inner palace are all hypocrites and vicious?

With an enchanting smile, if a tiger does not show her might, they will treat her as a decoration? Ever since the Empress Dowager has been reborn, the inner palace will never be peaceful again!

Hooking up and joining the imperial uncle for no reason, then teasing the prime minister. If nothing happens, she will find a small bun to abuse, then sit back and watch a bunch of imperial concubines fight among each other. Her days are exciting and smooth. Except, why are all these men stripping naked and ask her to be responsible for them?

[Imperial Uncle Edition]

“The Empress Dowager seems to be in a good mood these days!”

“Yes! It’s indeed good”

“The peach blossoms in this King’s courtyard are in full bloom. I wonder if the Empress wants to come over to see them?”

“Looking at them is fine! However, imperial uncle, can you remove your hand from my leg?”

[Prime Minister Edition]

One night, a certain Empress Dowager appeared on the cold and stoic prime minister’s bed. She lifted his chin with one hand and wickedly ravaged him. Looking at the ‘unsatisfied’ man below her, she evilly and charmingly smiled. Her voice was filled with temptation: “If it is painful, please tell me. I will be more gentle.”

The cold and stoic prime minister’s eyes flashed. However, he uncomfortably turned his head away. His earlobes were red as blood pearls!

[Man Slag]

“Empress Dowager! What else do you want before you are willing to let go of the Empress?”

“Get out!”

“Empress Dowager! What do you actually want?”

“Throw him out!”

“Jinghua! Whatever you want, I can give it to you. But, first release the Empress!”

“Castrate him and throw him “. <<less

Gu Mingzhu transmigrated into a novel–a Mary Sue novel.... more>>

She was neither the female lead or the supporting female lead. She did not even have a name in the entire novel.

Gu Mingzhu was very happy about it. She was very honest and respectful, so she might even be able to live a peaceful life!

However, a blind date banquet caused her to encounter the villainous male supporting character from the novel: the Prince of An, Han Min. When she looked at his face, she instantly only had one thought in her mind:

Little brother, I can!

**********

Han Min was a typical beautiful, strong, and miserable villain.

He was a prince, but he had never been favored. His biological mother was just a dancer and passed away early, and his adoptive mother was a madwoman who likes to mistreat the weak. It was not until he grew up and sided with the Crown Prince that he was living a decent life.

But those days did not last long. He nearly lost his legs to save the Crown Prince and his side concubine. From that point on, he became a useless person.

Han Min never gained anything in life, and ended up losing in life.

Han Min became increasingly gloomy, and thought that since he couldn’t live well, then no one else could either!

However, in that same moment, he had a startling realization that he did not lose everything. He still had his face, which could attract a dazzling ‘pearl’(Mingzhu means pearl)!

**********

Small Theater One:

Gu Mingzhu felt that things keep going wrong. Her husband didn’t seem to love the female lead, and he was not very devoted to the female lead. Does that mean he is going to have a bunch of concubines in the future…

Before Gu Mingzhu could finish thinking through her wild thoughts, Han Min leaned over, and his handsome face was all she could see. He smirked and chuckled lightly, “Mingzhu’er, it’s already late, we should go to sleep.”

Gu Mingzhu, whose thoughts became all jumbled up, didn’t even know what he was saying when she agreed.

Han Min knew that when he did that, it would capture her attention. While he was feeling proud, he also felt a bit scared. He had to ask the imperial physician to make him something to avoid losing his beauty one day.

Gu Mingzhu, who knew nothing about this, thought: Oh, my husband is so good looking. I can look at him for the rest of my life!

**********

Small Theater Two:

Han Min sat on the Dragon Throne and looked down condescendingly at the official who placed third in the exams and was kneeling in the center of the hall. He watched the handsome man’s pale face tremble since he did not know what wrong he had committed.

Han Min: “Tsk.”

The next day, the official was appointed a position outside of the capital by the Emperor, and it would be more than ten years before he could finally transfer back to the capital.

Han Min sat on the Dragon Throne with great satisfaction. However, his expression did not change at all as he examined the immense changes that occurred in the official. Han Min’s attitude was so gracious that the man wept and vowed to die for Da Sheng and Han Min.

Han Min continued to watch as the man left. He took out a small mirror from under his chair and murmured:

“This is wonderful. I am still the most beautiful man in the world.”

“We’re of different species, so it’s unfounded for us to go into heat for each other. You’re gentle and kind, so I think it’d be okay to live together. What do you think?”... more>>

The boy nodded shyly. It seemed like a good agreement. For starters, wildcats were skilled hunters. She had also heard they were good at swimming.

‘Now I can eat meat and enjoy as many fish as I want.’

Since Sohwa hadn’t properly learned from her mother, she was clumsy at hunting. She barely remembered the last time she had eaten meat. Having a nimble wildcat friend seemed reassuring.

“I’m fine with anything as long as I’m with you…”

“We should start by changing that title. No more ‘mistress’; call me Sohwa.”

“Sohwa.”

“Yes, that’s much nicer to hear. Then I should call you... hmm.”

She didn’t know where he had come from, nor his age, so how could she know his name?

“What should I call you?”

“Dohwi.”

The boy who claimed to know nothing clearly spoke his name.

“Please call me Dohwi.” <<less

I possessed the wife of the Emperor, the mad villain of a tragic novel.... more>>

After a while, when the evil Emperor looks to be obsessed with the saint who appears, I will vanish as if I was never here at all. Because the moment the blind villain meets the Saint...

He won’t even remember that I exist!

I really did nothing.

I just stayed very quietly in order to not incur his wrath…

“I’ll give you a choice.”

The corner of his lips raised crookedly. Though that smile did not reach his eyes at all.

“One, return to the palace with me…”

His gaze was enough to unnerve me.

“Two, let me kill all these men who have hidden the Empress of the Empire for treason… then, return to the palace with me.”

No, hasn’t the saint already appeared?

…Why are you doing this to me? <<less

Seduce the first man you meet within a week and get married…?... more>>

Before her sister's wedding, Lariette was unexpectedly proposed to by Prince Narkissis of the Helios Empire to marry his cousin, Grand Duke Cain Acheron, for a one-year contract and be a spy. When Narkissis threatened her sister's life, Lariette had no choice but to seduce Cain, but her attempt bounced off his otherworldly iron walls.

In the process, Cain reveals the secret of his family to her, and the two of them enter into a contractual marriage without any recourse.

Cain would keep her and her family safe, and Lariette would give birth to his heir.

The marriage scandal broke out as the two acted with lascivious fire in their eyes, but Lariette was confused.

“I came early because I wanted to see the princess as soon as possible.”

…Is this really acting?

His personality suddenly changed entirely… as if he had wanted her from the beginning! <<less

in a slightly different way than others.

“This is the price you pay for your sins, Reine.”

“Hey, huh!”

“Are you so wet already? You are more sensitive than Pavoli.”

Watching her witty and sassy reaction leisurely, Azer continued to warm her up.

“The Count, there… … Ouch, ah, ah, stop it!”

“Stop? Are you trying to give me orders?”

“Ah, it’s not like that, huh!”

“To say the following is such a presumptuous statement, it is absurd.”

Azer blinked his relaxed, sinister gaze.

“Look. Stop drenching my hands with your honey already? The truth is, I don’t want you to continue.”

“ Count! Now no, no! Ouch!”

A wave of pleasure came so strong that her mind was terrified. <<less

“Come here! We need to deepen our mutual understanding and have ourselves a good pillow talk—no, no! I mean, let’s just have a good chat about life!”

“Where is the newbie package?! What about my employee’s benefits?! Hey, System, don’t pretend to bug out all of a sudden, hand them over!”

“Hmm, let’s see…the employee’s benefits are pretty good… pretty good… But, you mind telling me what the heck are these ‘Ten Great Tools’? This… What on earth is this scent that’s coming from my body?? And just what is this ‘instant recovery constitution’ that supposedly will let me ‘play to my heart’s content without being broken’?! System, get your ASS out here! We need to talk! Are you for real or just pulling my leg?!”

“I never agreed to take down these male protagonists! Not a single one of them follows the prescribed storyline. I don’t want to end up under them; they are simply too awful! None of their words can be trusted—not a single one!! Out of all their lies, the worst are ‘Be obedient, I won’t move.’, ‘Believe me, this will be the last time.’ and, ‘I just want to kiss you!’

“System, the settings must be incorrect! These guys are completely unlike the plot description! I’m feeling so wronged here!!!”

“What do you think would happen if we were to have a child, My Queen?”... more>>

The king asked, looking at his queen after an unexpected question.

“You claimed I was infertile. Is that truly possible?”

“…I’m just saying if it were to happen.”

“Such a thing will probably never happen.”

He chuckled, thinking of the tea he drank every day.

“Do you think I would allow the blood of a mere barbarian to inherit my throne?”

Gazing into the king’s icy eyes, she realized he was no longer the king who once cherished her. The child growing within her would never be embraced. Naturally, her value to him would diminish once she became pregnant.

“…Indeed, it is inconceivable.”

And so, she saw no reason to remain by his side any longer. <<less

“My Euseniel.”... more>>

Tess, who became an adult, called my name in a soft tone. He smiled, narrowing his eyes, and covered my cheeks with his large hands.

There were many things I wanted to say when I met my childhood friend, but in the end it was a s*upid question.

The Crown Prince’s only friend, me, Euseniel Hardland.

One day, our family is expelled from the capital for having had a bad influence on the Crown Prince.

Reunited after 14 years, he was very different.

“Why… Why did you change so much?”

Tess tilted his head, and his black hair, which was previously blonde, flew down.

“It’s your taste.”

Red lips drew arcs as if seducing me, and the dark blue eyes slowly loosened.

“Because I like you, my Euseniel.” <<less

I sacrificed my own life to save my husband, who was my first love.
I thought I could finally be free from this foolish love after I’ve died, but…... more>>

Why is it that when I opened my eyes again, I found myself in someone else’s body?
Even worse, I transmigrated into a novel?

And why is my ex-husband here, too?

He became the S-Class Esper who was obsessed with the female lead—enough that he would eventually commit treason against the Crown Prince, who was the true male lead.
More than anything else though, why did I suddenly manifest the abilities of a Guide?

…Ah, whatever. I died anyway, so that should be the same as a divorce, I guess.

* * *

“My wife, did you think that I wouldn’t recognize your guiding?”

Why do you remember me.
Why are you looking at me like that, not the female lead? With those eyes so full of obsession and madness.
You weren’t originally this kind of man.

He approached me at a languid pace, watching closely as I was at a loss for words.
His saunter was slow and elegant, as though he was a lion approaching his prey—even so, he could not hide his thirst and hunger. No, it’s not as if he was even trying to hide it.

As he finally arrived in front of me, he raised one hand and held my chin. With his thumb, unceremoniously, he rubbed my lower lip.
At the familiar action, I felt myself shudder. He had always been rather rough whenever he received my guiding.
His delighted expression was slightly distorted.

“Ha…”

The moment his skin touched mine—the moment I started guiding him—he let out a deep, drawn-out sigh. His hot, thick breath clung to my eyes and lips.

I felt a warm hand touch my back, and he soon pulled me close to him forcefully. With my body pressed entirely against his, I couldn’t hide my surprise as I glanced up at him.
Then, when he opened his previously closed lids, his blue eyes looked at me as though he’d been waiting.

With his lips so close to the tip of my nose, he turned his head obliquely as he crooned.

“I’ve been looking for you for such a long time, Honey.” <<less

‘The virtuous Lady Avellin doesn’t talk too much, let alone babble on like that, right?’

No one expected that the two of them would be thrown together in an unexplored dungeon—and would get hit by a type of magic that induced a heat within them.

What do you mean they can’t go all the way if they’re not with each other?

“I can’t believe it, I reacted to you.”

“Crazy. You’re a real son of a b*tch.”

At the sound of his languid voice, the rationality she barely held onto was flung away.

It was so easy to cross the river of forbidden desire.

The Lord of Disaster. To Yeonseo, Woo Taeheon was like that. Yeonseo, who had been working as a resident caregiver for the Sewon Group, unexpectedly became Woo Taeheon’s personal assistant. Love engulfed her like a wildfire. It was hot and intense and there was no way to avoid it.

She knowingly started a love affair that would hurt her. But because she wanted to breathe and feeling burdened by her solitary love, she chose to run away. Unaware that she carried a part of Taeheon's life inside her womb.

Yeonseo, whom Taeheon had been desperately looking for over a month, was right in front of him. Just a few steps away, just within a short reach. Yeonseo, whose hair is waving in the air, whose eyes are shining, and smiling.
