Alpha Seo Seung-hyun, a self-made young conglomerate, received a secret request from a high-ranking executive of a company to win a weapon at a secret auction held in Shanghai.

However, the auction went awry due to someone’s interference, and the request was in danger of failing. The only clue was a mercenary team caught on the spot trying to steal the weapon.

Hacker Lee Young-jin, who was sent on a mission under the direction of a mysterious figure, ‘Teacher’ proposed a deal to Seung-hyun, who was trying to deal with them coldly.

Instead of giving them a clue to find the weapon, he demanded the release of his colleagues and take a ‘s*x video’ as collateral.

Little by little, Seung-hyun started to show interest in Young-jin at the absurd suggestion of a young omega who was s*upid but exudes a strange sexiness… <<less

If waste were to be reborn, could it become completely new?... more>>

Pei Yunshu still sees himself as worthless; he has only become smarter and no longer seeks what he can’t attain. He calmly watches as his master picks up a junior brother who will receive the love of the entire sect, and he patiently waits for everyone to go crazy for the junior brother.

He no longer wishes to contend with the junior brother, nor does he yearn to become the most favored one in the sect. When his master and senior brothers treat him kindly, he repays them one by one, so as to avoid becoming like his past self, who was criticized and looked down upon with every word and sentence.

In the past, there was an overwhelming worldly aura, but now, with a rebirth, even a hint of that worldly scent is almost gone.

Senior brothers and the newly arrived Junior Brother were worried about Pei Yunshu. Finally, one day, they forcibly took him down the mountain to drink.

After two bowls of strong liquor, Pei Yunshu’s eyes were slightly red, his face flushed, and a clear and round teardrop slid down, falling into the wine bowl.

Silently shedding tears, it was truly a boundless beauty.

From that day on, the whole sect is acting strange. <<less

The changed name, the status of a famous painter, and everything changed from their childhood, Siasen asked to paint Anais, and Anais, who had deep guilt about him, accepted his request.

“My wife praises you so much for being an artist. I thought about meeting you, too.”

Dehart whispered with his head down, “Can’t I ever call you Sebelia again?”

“No, you can’t.”

“Even if I kneel down like this?”

“Even if you give your life to me.” Sebelia bent forward slightly and whispered in his ear, “Dehart, I’m generous to people who know their place.”

His heart gave a jolt. He looked at Sebelia with trembling eyes.

In the past, it was her whom those words were spoken to.

[I’m generous to people who know their place.]

Those were Dehart’s first words to Sebelia. <<less

The Count of Chronia's youngest son became a warlock to live.

Shi Jin once read a book. It was supposed to be about satisfying the desire for vengeance.... more>>

The main character, also named Shi Jin, was the sixth son of his harem-novel-protagonist-like father. All was well, while his father was alive at least, but after his death, Shi Jin’s five elder half-brothers tormented him, eventually leading to his death.

Fei Bai discovered through his boyfriend’s trumpet account that he had been wearing a green hat. Not long after the breakup, he recognized the third party in their school coffee shop.... more>>

The senior brother is handsome and tall, but it looks like… he’s not a 0.

When Fei Bai thought his ex might be doing zero for love behind his back, he became angry. He decided to take the initiative to seduce this senior brother so that his ex-boyfriend could also experience the taste of wearing a green hat.

The sky’s the limit. Fei Bai successfully seduced the third party. He walked side by side with this senior brother on the campus and bumped head-on unto his ex-boyfriend.

He thought the moment of revenge was coming, but in the next second, he learned that he had flirted with the wrong person. The senior brother beside him was not the mistress but the former president of his father’s company!

Fei Bai originally planned to apologize and run away, but he didn’t expect to be blocked in front of his home the next day.

The man he called senior brother pressed him against the wall and said in a low voice, “You are so good at seducing people. Who would let you go?” <<less

There was once the worst Skeleton Demon King who even gave the gods headaches.... more>>

“If you do our work, we will make you a human.”

But he was deceived by the gods and sealed.

“Since the Demon King is gone, let’s eliminate all the demons.”

“Let’s leave the demon extermination, preaching, and everything else to our precious [Saint].”

“The Skeleton Demon King will be imprisoned for life and tortured in the maggot.”

That’s what was said for sure.

“Oh my, dear little Saint, have you woken up?”

Did he become a Saint?

And even the son of a nobleman in the Holy Empire that feeds the gods?

Then if he destroys this country, won’t the gods also be destroyed?

“Oh my, why is little Saint seemed so happy?”

“Little Saint, this is a disgusting toy of the Skeleton Demon King. Would you like to break it once?”

“The great gods recovered everything from the Skeleton Demon King who challenged the gods without restraint.”

…Let’s destroy this country.

Let’s eliminate it while breaking the backbone of the gods. <<less

“I didn’t cheat on you with your fiancé; it was fate, do you understand?”... more>>

The heroine eloped with my fiancé.

On the day of our engagement.

After a moment of disbelief, the male lead came to me.

“The lady I picked out for the contract marriage ran off with her friend’s fiancé.”

“Goodness, there’s a lady just like me.”

“So I’m thinking of proposing a contract marriage to that friend.”

The eyes beneath the bushy eyebrows gleamed sharply.

“Will you marry me, milady?”

… It seems to be me.

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

Since my fiancé ran away anyway, there wasn’t much choice; I entered the wedding hall with the male lead.

I agreed to the contract with the intention of running away if necessary.

“I’ll try to make you a precious person to everyone.”

His fingertips, which descended to my earlobe, lightly brushed my tiny earring.

Shivers ran down my spine.

“The earring suits you very well.”

The earring had a purple gem that matched his eye color.

Something seems wrong with this contract marriage after all. <<less

A life lived solely for the sake of the family.
I couldn't hope for anything, and I didn't have anything.
I thought it would be enough if I could just devote myself to the family.
What returned at the end of that devotion was a dreadful death.... more>>

"You dare not to know your place and covet the family's guardian magic, so pay it back with your life."

That's how I died.
But that's not bad either. Death is eternal rest.
I think I can rest now.….

"Are you up, miss?"

……my rest is gone?

* * *

After learning that I had returned to a year ago, I decided.

'I'm going to die as soon as possible.'

However, it is not easy to die because of the family's guardian magic. So I went to find a man.
The head of a family that that is hostile to the family I devoted my life to.
The only one who can break through the guardian magic and kill me.

"Hello, the weather is nice. It's always cold in the capital, but I think it's a little warm these days."

So...

“Would you mind killing me?” <<less

Princess Leah wrote a su*cide note ahead of her wedding.... more>>

It was because she was certain that she would die after the wedding night; a miserable end of a princess who devoted her life to the country and to the royal family.

But before giving up her life, Leah planned her last revenge to the family, one that would surely leave them in ruins even after she became a cold corpse.

She would bring them shame by being a non-virg*n bride.

“I… I want to die.” Leah impulsively confided to the man she slept with for one night. <<less

I've decided. I will rise and punch the prince who stole my childhood friend.... more>>

Working in the capital's most envied profession, 'Holy Knight,' I was expelled from the knight order and informed about the relationship between my childhood friend, the saintess Cecil, and the prince.

I was in despair, but that night, a unique skill named 'King of Heretics' manifested within me. This ability allows me to 'appraise' heretics and gain their loyalty, a peculiar skill.

Using this newly manifested skill, I gathered companions who admired me, rising to become the boss of a dark guild. All for the sake of punching the lecherous prince who stole my childhood friend, making him grovel before me. <<less

When Fu Nian first met Chu Zhaoyi, the late emperor was still alive, and Chu Zhaoyi was still a Wangye.... more>>

But at their first meeting, Fu Nian experienced the ferocity of this future ruler.

A cacophony rang in his mind, and as the metallic tang of blood flowed along his numbed skin, Fu Nian heard that devilish voice tell him,

“Thunder and rain, all are the grace of a ruler. Just a bit of thunder, and you’re reduced to such a state.”

Later, he would hear these words again, but it would be a long time later.

“Thunder and rain, all are the grace of a ruler,” Chu Zhaoyi pronounced deliberately by Fu Nian’s ear.

With the remnants of his strength, Fu Nian struggled to suppress a sob, “Your Majesty, such thunder and rain, this humble subject… truly doesn’t deserve.”

[Opening in November]
Fu Nian’s first life ended due to poison.

Sensing his impending fate, he believed that the heart-connecting gu inside him was planted by a pitiable scapegoat, ordered by the ruler. Not wanting to implicate innocent people, he forcefully removed the gu from his heart, gasping his last breath only after handing it to the Imperial Guards.

After death, Fu Nian realized that the one who had planted the heart-connecting gu wasn’t anyone else, but Chu Zhaoyi, the one above ten thousand others. He thought of Chu Zhaoyi as heartless and merciless, someone who didn’t trust him, let alone love him.

Only in death did Fu Nian know that his master, who had plucked him from the pile of corpses and nurtured him, didn’t treat him as a disposable pawn, but genuinely cared for him. After Fu Nian’s death, his master went madly searching for medicine, going so far as to use living people as ingredients, all to save Fu Nian’s life.

His Senior Brother, too, surprised him. Fu Nian had thought that their last meeting before parting ways was the night his Senior Brother gifted him a sword.

Little did he expect that the one keeping their childhood sword manuals was his Senior Brother, and the one keeping the birthday gift he sent was also his Senior Brother. And after his death… it was his Senior Brother who clung to the jar containing the heart-connecting gu that he had dug out, crying uncontrollably.

But what surprised Fu Nian the most was Chu Zhaoyi.

He never thought that Chu Zhaoyi, whom he believed never truly loved him.

Would, after his death, hold onto his already stiffened body, gently place the phoenix crown and red wedding robes he never dared dream of onto him, kiss him devoutly over and over again, and even, like they did in their lifetime, sleep side by side through the night.

Awakening from a deep slumber, Fu Nian discovers a chance to rectify all the regrets of his previous life.

Everything is still within reach.

[Warning: Protagonist with prosthetic limbs!!! Warning: Offspring anticipated!!!]
The cover features Fu Nian’s character design.

With a cold exterior but a warm heart, a ruthless monarch finds himself entangled with a stunningly beautiful and seemingly insane individual who is devoted and submissive to only one person, while showing no mercy as the commander of a ruthless group of shadow guards.

The timeline progresses linearly, with no time-traveling involved; the protagonist’s body remains his own throughout. <<less

I did everything to protect my brother... but just before the happy ending, he was mu*dered.
And that was by the so-called kind heroine and the gentle sub-male lead!

Furthermore, shamelessly, the two of them accused me of being the mu*derer,
And before I knew it, I had become a notorious villainess, committing crazy deeds out of jealousy between my brother and the supposed heroine.

"Give me the princess."

Instead of facing execution, I was sold off to Felosite, the villainous Archduke in the original story, to marry. Infamous for his cruelty, he was the mastermind behind the sad ending that wiped out the protagonists and brought ruin to the Empire.

But why would he want me as his bride?!

A plaything for torture?
A means to form an alliance with the imperial family?
A sacrifice for dark magic?

Or...

"Feel comfortable, Lucian... that's what you can call me."
"Yes?"
"I'll give you everything you want. Just tell me what you desire."

The sight of my husband acting shyly in front of me and showering me with gifts was unbelievably awkward.

That wasn't all.

"Our precious niece! Let's go building shopping together!"
"Dear sister! I brought the delicious strawberry cake you mentioned! Let's eat it together!"
"We don't need that distant grandson! We'd rather have our adorable granddaughter-in-law play with this old man!"

The intimidating villainous in-laws who I thought were, turn out to adore only me, sidelining their own son?!

Um... Excuse me, aren't you villains? Why on earth are you doing this to me?" <<less

Iona, the knight who was the loyal dog of the tyrant Emperor, gave her life for him. But her lord, whom she trusted, abandoned her in the end, and the person who stood by her side in her death was no other than her husband.... more>>

“I want to kiss you one last time.” Iona demanded on the verge of death.

“I’m telling you in advance… Just in case… You won’t die and this won’t be our last kiss.”

Satisfied with her non-lonely death, she closed her eyes.

When Iona woke up again, she realized that she had returned to the past and her husband was again chosen to be her partner.

Though her past wasn’t good, one thing she also didn’t want to change was her husband, the only success in her life. If so, she should at least turn this marriage into a ‘successful marriage’, she decided.

“Lord Leroy, I will formally propose to you; Please marry me. I will definitely make you happy.”

Iona was determined to repay her husband for his generosity. Just the way she wanted. <<less

She was resurrected by her sister, the Demon Spirit into the mortal world.
