However, Li Wen notices a trend in these games: the main characters are overpowered, the enemies are weak, and the levels can be easily cleared without much thought. There's no sense of challenge or excitement—where's the thrill of the game?

"I don't understand why, but this game is so bleak and intense, yet I can't seem to put it down!"

"Finally, a game that tests my skills and pushes me to my limits!"

With Li Wen's vision, a new era of gaming begins, one that offers players the chance to experience true excitement and fulfillment. <<less

Guide: No misunderstandings or reversals, main storyline focuses on romance with a side plot of dealing with scum fathers… maybe

It starts with lust, but then love blossoms over time (the top has health issues, so the story is light-hearted), daily life involves teasing each other, as well as the mundane aspects of life, long-distance love induces lovesickness, ex-boyfriends make appearances, but there’s no major drama, and it’s a happily ever after.

I’ll try to avoid melodrama, but if there’s any nonsense, let’s all pretend we didn’t see it.

This story has no real-life basis, please refrain from associating it with real people.

There’s a tiny bit (really minimal) of elements from traditional Chinese opera (Suzhou Pingtan, Peking Opera) and cross-talk (some lines from Mr. Meng and Mr. Zhou), just my personal hobby. To avoid any discomfort or unwanted recommendations, I’m clarifying this here, without annotating it in the text.

“That s*ave over there. Can you give him to me?”... more>>

Because that s*ave is actually the male lead of this novel and the long lost son of a duke.

So, if you don’t want to be executed for abusing the male lead, just hand him over to me quietly.

To prevent a massacre ending and to collect the reward offered for the male lead, I risked my life to protect him.

I used him to escape from this miserable household and to fulfill the dreams I couldn’t achieve in my previous life.

“Thank you, Duke.”

When I exchanged the male lead for the reward, his face seemed stained with betrayal, but…

It doesn’t matter.

I made sure to keep a strict line between us so that the male lead wouldn’t catch the rampant male lead affliction: obsession.

So now I plan to run away from him!

Five years later.

I finally managed to open a ‘convenience store’ in this romance fantasy world, and it’s a huge success!

One day, a suspicious customer visited me.

“Welcome!”

Even I, who had the knight commander, the mercenary king, and a priest—who were all famous in the whole empire by the way—as regular customers in the capital, had to catch my breath at the beauty of this customer.

“Are you looking for something?”

“Right here.”

“Pardon?”

“She’s right in front of me.”

His gaze was fixed directly on me.

“I’m sorry, dear customer, but I’m not for sale….”

“Master.”

As I hurriedly bowed my head, I was startled by the familiar yet unfamiliar address from the customer’s mouth.

“You bought me, didn’t you? You must take responsibility to the very end. Like that time, when we shared a single blanket… and spent many nights together. Remember?”

…Wasn’t I supposed to be safe from the male lead’s obsession?

A two-billion-dollar commission to a mercenary from a private military company.

The condition was marriage for one year.

Lee Raehwa, the only daughter of Daesan Construction.

In order to complete the painting outside the control of her stepfather,

Raehwa hired a legal guardian to protect her for one year.

However, Kwon Yi-tae, whom she hired as her only hope, was an unpredictable madman.

Marriage and cohabitation, which started as a contractual relationship, was gradually moving in a strange direction……

***

He placed his hand on the back of her neck. The hand that lightly squeezed the back of her neck was large and hot.

"What if I kiss you here now?"

Raehwa let out the breath she had been holding back. Her tense body relaxed. How did he set the mood with something so trivial?

"That's okay."

Kwon Yi-tae raised one eyebrow. Raehwa continued to speak with a slight smile.

"If we want to imitate a fake couple, a kiss is...….”

But she couldn't finish her sentence. Her hair stood on end at the force of his sudden pull.

By the time her eyes opened wide, his face was already close to hers. Her vision was completely covered with Kwon Yi-tae’s face.

He stared at Raehwa with his eyes lowered. A hot whisper fell softly on her skin.

"I don't want to, you lunatic."

Their lips brushed narrowly against each other as he spoke. With a fierce gaze, a threat with a faint sweetness crept in.

"It won't end with just a kiss." <<less

Shang Tingzhi, a well-known Feng Shui master in Rui City, known as the "Golden Finger of Luxury Homes." Residences designated by him are believed to bring prosperity to the family and business, and the wealthy in the city all respect him.

However, the returned scholar Xia Leyang, educated overseas, does not believe in such superstitions.

Shang Tingzhi (to the client): The colorful aura here is a symbol of good fortune.

Xia Leyang (muttering): A colourful aura, probably just bullshit.

Shang Tingzhi: ... (pretends not to hear)

If it weren't for the fact that Shang Tingzhi's fate was affected by the lonely sun curse, he wouldn't have had to deal with the annoying and troublesome Xia Leyang all the time.

This young man, who had tasted Western ink during the day, was full of Marx in his mouth, dismantling Shang Tingzhi's arguments professionally. However, at night, he was afraid of ghosts and would cry, fearing that ghosts would come and crawl into his bed.

A bad-tempered individual with great self-control, advocating science, timid and afraid of ghosts. 1v1, happy ending.

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!
