When the apocalypse suddenly arrived, I finally saw the true nature of my friends.... more>>

My calm and indifferent Buddha-like childhood friend was someone who can destroy heaven and earth with her powers.

My flirtatious playboy bro was someone who would cuddle up to me during this transition period.

I struggle to survive every day.

Watching my bro trying to strip off my clothes and my childhood friend watching by the side, I couldn't help but scream sharply.

No intimacy between men!

The plot isn't quite right!

Someone save me!

Please! <<less

"I want to break up." That was the conclusion I reached.... more>>

My childhood friend and girlfriend, Kotoba Aihara, was a perfect beauty, completely out of my league.

Little do people know that Xue Qingyue, a renowned actor labeled as a human gu insect, harbors a deeply provocative nature within.... more>>

However, he is unable to let go and thus maintains a stoic facade, living a solitary life.

His ultimate regret, even in death, is the lack of experiencing romantic encounters.

Following his demise, Xue Qingyue is bound by the 'VIllain Counterattack System' and embarks on a journey across different worlds for a counterattack.

Embracing the male protagonist’s thigh becomes a symbolic act of defiance. As he endures the encounters with a cold expression, his eyes well up with tears under the dominating force.

1、The Arrogant Educated Youth vs the Rough And Innocent Wolf Cub Male Protagonist in the Historical Novel [Completed] = Translating

The educated youth from the city, with a slender neck held high, exuded an air of indifference and disdain that made it hard to distinguish between male and female.

The sun had reddened his fair face, even the faint mole at the corner of his eye looked rosy, giving his indifferent eyes a misty allure.

His graceful gait resembled that of a noble swan, making one want to push down his proud head, tear open his tightly buttoned shirt, and make his indifferent eyes brim with tears, begging for mercy in a pitiful manner.

The wolf cub, Xu Heqing, pursed his lips, his ears turning slightly red.

Later, the wolf cub Xu Heqing nibbled on the young man's ear, pressing against his waist as he thrust his manhood behind him, asking, "Qingyue ge, does it feel good, hmm, does it feel good?"

2、The Blackened Young Master Benefactor vs the Sickly Sweet and Affection-Deprived Male Lead Singer [Completed] = Not Yet

The innocent young master was deceived by a female idol, investing resources only to promote a famous female star.

However, he discovered that she was confessing her love to the male lead singer.

Enraged, the young master grabbed the male lead by the collar and angrily exclaimed, "You, stay away from Yan Hong! Otherwise, I'll have my brother blacklist you!"

Unaware of his own red eyes and injured face, the anger in his reddened eyes stemmed from both fury and a deep, passionate love for the female star, a love born out of his childhood deprivation of affection, which made the male lead extremely eager.

Consequently, the man smiled slightly and proposed, "Young master, why not become my benefactor? As a dog raised by a benefactor, you naturally cannot go against your master's wishes."

The young master's eyes lit up.

However, that night, the "dog" climbed onto the bed and asked, "Master, am I serving you well?" before vigorously penetrating the master's flesh hole with his male dog waist.

3、Cold and Elegant Sickly Prince Brother from Beijing vs Bloodthirsty Tyrant [Ongoing] = Not Yet

The tyrant often suffers from headaches, is irritable, and kills people. He suffers from severe insomnia.

On a snowy night, he draws his sword and kills palace maids, blood splattering, covering the snow-covered ground, the smell of blood filling the entire imperial garden.

Fearful screams echo, and the tyrant turns around. Concubines and palace maids, pale and either kneeling or falling to the ground, with faces full of terror.

On the corridor, a tall figure stands there, graceful and elegant, his robes fluttering. He holds charcoal in his hand, his eyes tired and indifferent as he gazes in this direction.

As their eyes meet, the tyrant sees him only slightly furrow his brows, then turns back and walks forward, ignoring the scene.

He is not afraid of him.

The tyrant is stunned.

Then, as if at that moment, the violent factor all over his body was dispelled by the cold gaze of the youth. <<less

"To my two fathers-in-law!"... more>>

Under the coercion of their fathers, Sunwoo and Green were forcibly married. As a wedding gift, they each presented a package of briquettes to the other's father.

Although they hadn't seen each other for a year after the delightful wedding, their marriage, born out of mutual affection, was quite satisfactory.

"Now let's divorce from those households and remarry quickly."

But this time, both fathers were pushing for divorce.

***

"No matter how you look at it, you belong to me. They say you're not my father's or Green's father either. What do you think, Green?"

Sunwoo whispered softly into her ear, pressing his lips closely.

"Are you Han Green's, Jin Sunwoo's?"

"Yes, I am. And Jin Sunwoo is mine."

Their breaths touched their noses and cheeks, intertwining little by little.

The unrestrained love of the couple, who had been strangers for a year, began. Late, but hotter. <<less

In the winter of three years ago, the first locked room mu*der in Japanese history was committed.... more>>

All of the evidence pointed to the defendant. It was certain they were guilty. And yet, they were found innocent and released. Why? Because the crime scene was a perfect locked room no one from the police or the prosecutor's office could solve.

"Since the room was locked, it was impossible for the defendant to have committed the mu*der. It's no different than if they had a perfect alibi." That was the argument of the defense, and that was the argument the judge sided with.

The ruling sent a ripple throughout Japanese society. No matter how suspicious you were or how much evidence you left behind, as long as you managed to create a locked room that no one could solve, you were immune from prosecution. With the common anti-mystery fiction talking point "there's no reason anyone would ever actually commit a locked room mu*der" completely overturned, the rate of locked room mu*ders in Japan skyrocketed.

When the police proved unable to deal with the surge of locked room crime, the Ministry of Justice published an official categorization of all known locked room tricks as an investigative aid. When that proved insufficient, Division Zero of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, a police division dedicated solely to solving locked rooms, was created. When that still proved insufficient, locked room detectives, private investigators specializing in locked rooms, were officially licensed by the state and authorized to participate in police investigations. Calling a locked room appraiser, someone specializing in searching buildings for secret passages, is now a common first step in criminal investigations.

On the other side of the spectrum, locked room agents, assassins and crime planners specializing in locked room mu*ders, have become some of the most notorious criminals in Japanese history, and even a cult worshiping the scenes of locked rooms as a way to purify the souls of the deceased has made rapid inroads into Japan.

The protagonist, Kasumi Kuzushiro, is an introverted, somewhat cynical high school student who loves mysteries. Kasumi often finds himself dragged along on bizarre journeys by his flighty childhood friend, Yozuki Asahina. Due to their staggeringly bad luck, these trips often leave them in the wrong place at the wrong time to be caught up in locked room mysteries. Fortunately, another of Kasumi's childhood friends, Shitsuri Mitsumura, is the greatest locked room expert in the world, and can always discover the truth.

Hm? How did a high school girl become the greatest locked room expert in the world?

It's simple.

She's...

Physically confronting your abusive superior might be cool and satisfying when it happens in a drama, but, as Kazuo Sugishita is learning, it's less cool when you're sitting at home afterwards, terrified to learn how you'll be punished when you return to work the next day. The sentence he faces sounds surprisingly lenient - just a temporary reassignment to the company's entertainment department while things blow over. But he changes his mind when he gets the specifics: Kazuo has been assigned as manager-in-training (read "servant") to Shiro Hoshizono, the "Star Watcher": A pompous, showoff-y, completely insufferable talent with no actual talents except using his sickeningly sweet words and foreign model looks to seduce lonely middle... more>> aged women into paying for the privilege of hearing him speak.

The day after his new assignment, Kazuo and Hoshizono leave for Saitama Prefecture, where Hoshizono has been recruited to become an image character for a campground in the mountains, alongside a group of other colorful characters, including a romance novelist with the looks of Cleopatra but the personality of someone's grandpa and a UFO obsessed conspiracy theorist.

But the morning after their arrival, their host is found strangled to death in his lodge, the road back is buried in an avalanche, and... you can probably see where this is going.

Turns out, despite how he comes across normally, Hoshizono is actually a genius detective!

Jhi Yeonwoo, who experienced the twists and turns of life at an earlier age than others, was running a small flower shop called ‘Flower Fiance’. He was a dominant Omega like a dominant Alpha, but due to some incident, Jhi Yeonwoo’s life, afflicted with pheromone deficiency, was no different from that of a Beta. One day, while he thought he would never be liked by anyone again. A man appeared in front of Jhi Yeonwoo. With a well-built physique and handsome appearance, he was an Alpha who looked extremely good in a black cashmere coat.... more>>

“What flower is this?”

“That’s a marigold. It’s also commonly known as a marigold. There are several varieties, but what you’re looking at is a calendula.”

Even though he seemed unfamiliar with flowers at a glance, he showed interest in the flower language of calendula marigold, which had a negative meaning.

“It’s supposed to hurt someone, not excitement.”

The man who bought the marigold bouquet touched upon a painful memory that he had momentarily set aside. Jhi Yeonwoo thought it was just a passing encounter, but the man appeared in front of him again after a few hours.

“By any chance, does this store offer any benefits for VIPs?”

Introducing himself as Choi Muhyuk, the man asked, “Can things like having a meal or a drink be possible?”

Dragging Jhi Yeonwoo in with unexpected words and actions…

*Characters:

Choi Muhyuk (32 years old, Omega Alpha, 191cm 82kg): He is a manager at Sunwoo Trading, a subsidiary of Sunwoo Group, a rising conglomerate. Despite seeming plausible on the surface, the truth is that Sunwoo Group was built by the gangsters who used to rule the area. Although he takes after his father, Chairman Choi, and has a cold side, he also harbors unexpectedly warm traits. His mundane daily life was unexpectedly disrupted when he met Jhi Yeonwoo on the street, dragged along like a reluctant journey by a flower that caught his eye. As Jhi Yeonwoo described the flower, he seemed to be making a face as if he had touched upon a painful memory. Moreover, despite appearing like an Omega both horizontally and vertically, Yeonwoo didn’t emit any pheromones, which made Muhyuk curious about him, and he gradually became more interested in him.

Jhi Yeonwoo (26 years old, Omega Alpha, 175cm 62kg): Jhi Yeonwoo, who graduated from high school, was swept away by a moment of affection and married a senior. After ending their four-year marriage, the only thing left for Jhi Yeonwoo was a scar of being an Omega afflicted with pheromone deficiency and having only one friend left. Being pushed and shoved by people, Jhi Yeonwoo ended up being alone. Living a life no different from a Beta, one day, a man appeared at ‘Flower Fiance,’ the flower shop Jhi Yeonwoo ran. From the first day they met, the man, who looked good in a black cashmere coat, shook Yeonwoo to the point where he couldn’t regain his composure. <<less

My husband was still obsessed with finding that woman.

To make matters worse, he was convinced that I had something to do with her.

"Tell me where Rachel is. Then maybe I'll give you the night you so desperately beg for."

His hands, which had torn at my dress, came up roughly.

Just as my flustered face was about to fall apart, he stopped his mocking caress.

A bitter smile crept up above his lips.

The problem is that I am the 'woman' he is looking for. <<less

"We don't need a monk who can't use healing skills."

In the end, I couldn't get into any party. Since there was no other choice, I decided to explore the dungeon alone.

"Anyway, let's level up and learn healing skills."

In a desperate attempt to save the world, the male protagonist loses his comrades one by one, eventually succumbing to destruction in a bleak fantasy novel.... more>>

I found myself transmigrated into this story as the villainous princess, known for her excessively innocent mind. Obsessed with the male protagonist, I cause chaos and eventually die during a monster attack, tarnishing the reputation of the knight order the protagonist belongs to.

‘Wow, these knights are more like a bunch of mercenaries than a noble order!”

I exclaimed in disbelief, surveying the disheveled knights before me.

“Gentlemen, did you sign a proper employment contract? What about overtime pay? Compensation in case of accidents? Medical support for mental stress and physical injuries?”

“Um… why are you asking this all of a sudden, Princess?”

The male protagonist inquired with a suspicious look.

Well, I can understand why he’s wary of me considering my past obsession, but…

“You should call me ‘Administrative Officer’, not ‘Princess’.”

“Ah, but that’s…”

“Cassia Astrid, I am hereby assigned as the Administrative Officer to the Azure Dawn Knight Order, effective today.”

I flashed a grin at the stunned male protagonist.

“And you can rest assured that I will no longer be obsessed with you.”

The protagonist’s beauty? My obsession? A sweet and bloody romance?

What good are those when the world is on the brink of destruction!

I also confronted the absurd barracks culture.

“Don’t be discouraged, gentlemen. It’s not your fault.”

I diligently looked after the future saviors whose mental state was in tatters.

“Long live the Administrative Officer!”

“You are the goddess who will save our knight order!”

“Our. Bright. Light. Cas.si.a!”
