They met during the most confusing and painful time of their youth, and even now that they are adults, they have always been by each other's side. Their friendship was strong and stood the test of time like armor. But underneath that thick armor, Ji Sunwook nurtured a love that was not just friendship. Driven by the desperation to leave no evidence as the sole driving force behind his unrequited love.... more>>

He had thought he could hide it for the rest of his life, until Lee Jihoon asked in the fall of his twenty-nine.

"Don't you think it's even stranger that I've never heard you talk about women you've dated all this while?"

Realizing that he could no longer hide it, Ji Sunwook meekly confessed that he was dating a man and finally put an end to their relationship with the confession he had been putting off.

Lee Jihoon, who came to catch Ji Sunwook, denied that conclusion. He said that Ji Sunwook didn't love him, so this couldn't be the end for them. Not wanting to believe it, he blocked Ji Sunwook’s way out saying he would prove it.

"What kind of coward abandons the one he loves and then runs away?"

Guided by Lee Jihoon's firm hand, the two stood on a road they had never been on before. Only when standing at the edge of friendship from which no one can retreat did they realize that they were facing something that made them uncertain whether they were proving that it was love or proving that it was not. <<less

“Goodbye, Li Qiao” tells the story of four senior high school students who were on the verge of collapsing due to their respective family problems, estrangement with their parents, sufferings and irreconcilable difficulties. However, because of a message left on the bus, they became friends by accident, comforted each other, and walked together for a short time.... more>>

The novel uses multiple narrative perspectives and a first-person perspective to tell the story of the rifts in the families of these four teenagers. Some parents are naturally flawed, easily prompt to anger and become s*aves to violence. Some are forced to suffer by life and have nowhere to pour their bitterness, driving them to vent their sufferings on their children. Some parents separate halfway and transfer their disappointment to their children.

Four teenagers who are in apprehensive and confusing predicaments. Their similar painful experiences made them quickly become friends. During the summer vacation after their college entrance examination, they enjoyed the rare happiness in each other’s company. Starting a college life separated them from each other after being on the same road for a short time. Ten years later, the appearance of the mysterious number 170503 revealed a secret past.

The background family is crucial to the growth of teenagers, and some people may take a lifetime to heal from the injuries they suffer while growing up. The novel profoundly reveals this social issue and should arouse the attention and thinking of society and parents. The mutual understanding and friendship between peers with the same fate add warmth to the novel, which is both warm and healing. <<less

Shen Lie was pushed by his third uncle to serve in the military. After more than two years, when he returned to the village, the villagers were shocked to see him alive.

Upon inquiry, he found out that not only had he “died,” but he also gained an unseen wife. Moreover, his wife and two younger siblings were all divided up and sent away by his third uncle and aunt. They lived in the area where the Shen family was exiled, in the makeshift thatched cottage in the mountains.

A shabby thatched cottage which could kill people in windy and snowy days?

He didn’t bother to go home and question his uncle; he suppressed his anger and hurried to the mountains. When he arrived in front of the thatched cottage in the wind and snow, he could hardly recognise it as the place where he had lived.

This is a little different from what he thought…

The house has obviously been repaired and is no longer as dilapidated as before. A high courtyard wall has been built with yellow mud outside the house, and an extra stove has been built in the courtyard. It was dinner time when a young woman came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of hot food, followed by two children carrying rice, bowls, and chopsticks. As soon as they saw each other, the two children’s eyes widened, then they yelled “big brother” and rushed out.

What if a husband falls from the sky? Waiting online it’s quite urgent. <<less

Gu Wuyou: ????

The husband that Gu Wuyou remembered was silent but gentle, powerful and feared by everyone, but it wasn’t until she was reborn that she discovered that her husband wasn’t only proficient in all things, but was also the city’s notorious second-rate ancestor, who was hated by everyone and was useless except for his face.

Subjected to live the life of a siren, Aria had experienced, seen, and heard many horrific things. Broken beyond repair, Aria resigned herself to death, when suddenly…

The Grand Duke, Lloyd Cardence Valentine, arrived and whispered, “Should I kill everyone here?”

“If you need me, just call me. Your song will always reach me, wherever you are.”

In the end, Aria called the devil, bringing death to all those present, along with herself.

And with that, Aria breathed her last and died… only to return to her 10-year-old self.

Now that she had a second chance at her life, Aria was determined to change her fate, as well as the cruel fate of her saviour, Grand Duke Valentine.

And so… Aria proposed to him with a marriage contract.

She sold her soul to the devil and vowed to protect him.

[Marry me.] Aria extended her hand and gave him the contract. [Let’s get divorced in 10 years…]

The young duke took the contract from her hand.

“So, where should I stamp the seal?”

I, The Emperor’s illegitimate child, a princess only in name, married you, a war hero, as if being sold.... more>>

You taught me all about the emotion called love.

However, you also taught me what is was like to feel misery.

I was driven by revenge when I realized that your actions towards me were false, when that woman gave birth to a child who looked just like you, when that woman tried to kill me and you didn’t even blink an eye. Then, I realized something.

I have to leave.

I no longer wanted to be a woman who was easily manipulated by others.

“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. Asyria…”

“Please, please, can’t you come back…?”

I faintly smiled at the desperate, ridiculous look that you’d never once shown me before, even when I felt like I was going to die. By the time you came around, it was already too late. <<less

“I’ll fix your dress according to your taste this instant!”

“My request.”

“O-Of course! As per your request, there’s only one piece available in the whole Empire.”

People around me listen to me well even if I just frown and sit still. Since I don’t have to live in difficulty, I decided to just comfortably live on as a villainess.

“Father. Is it necessary for you to solve formulas in this slow and inefficient way?”

I thought it would be good to be a rich villainess, so I used all my knowledge.

“Why don’t you give me the honor of escorting the Princess?”

‘Anyhow … I think I transmigrated into a romance fantasy novel.’... more>>

The problem is—I opened my eyes in a wake room. Within a coffin. At the funeral of this body’s owner. To make matters worse, I had read so many novels that I couldn’t remember which one I was in.

‘Ta-da~ you thought I was dead, right? I was not!’

On the other hand, I think I’m a villainess. My family is cold-hearted, and the servants shrink and shun me, often crying while looking at the air next to me. But it doesn’t matter! I’ll exploit my master in romance fantasy to get rid of my villainess tag!

But then, I found a strange pattern.

“What exactly is this?”

[How to summon •••]
‘Is it summoning formation to summon something like spirits or dragons? That’s good. A villainess needs at least one ability to protect herself.’

“Meow~”

‘But why was I chosen by a three-eyed leopard-patterned cheese cat, rather than spirits or dragons? Well, it doesn’t matter because it’s cute!’

A monster lives in Count Rohanson’s household. A creature lurking beneath the skin of the late Lady Evangeline.

“I’m Gabriel, commander of Paralos Knights. I’d like to know more about young lady Rohanson.”

‘Knight Commander, pitch black hair, azure eyes … Gabriel must be the male lead!’

“How foolish. You don’t even know your place. I’m not interested in you.”

“It doesn’t matter. I’m just curious about you.”

‘How come? Aren’t I the villainess? Go find your partner, the female lead!’

My aim is to use my summoning circle to protect myself! I’ll also look after Pudding the cat and Jelly the werewolf.

“By the way … why does everyone keep trembling whenever they see me?”

In the dark and filthy underground city, Huo Xianfeng discovered a special omega.... more>>

He is gorgeous, cold, and sharp, like a rose emerging from thorns.

There were more than a dozen wailing alphas lying on the ground, and the beautiful omega was blushing from his turbulent estrus, panting hoarsely.

His silver hair was stained with blood. Disgust and mu*derous intent surged in his beautiful crimson pupils.

"Do you also want to… mark me?"

Huo Xianfeng, who suffered from Pheromone Recognition Disorder, was surprised——

"Why would you think so? I'm just passing by."

".….."

The beautiful omega was shocked for a moment.

Later, Huo Xianfeng still failed to pass by safely. He was brutally pinned against the wall by the beautiful omega and was forced by the other to mark him.

Huo Xianfeng: "…???"

I've never seen such a brazen omega!

---

Jiang Ci's dream is to become the most powerful omega in the world, and trample all the alphas who looked down on him and coveted him.

Later, this dream was shattered.

"Why can't you kiss me and coax me?!"

The beautiful omega got into Huo Xianfeng's arms, angrily biting his Adam's apple, sobbing and crying non-stop,

"Damn Huo Xianfeng, are you incapable?!"

The handsome alpha sighed deeply and stretched out his hand to hold the coquettish wife in his arms,

"Hush, the doctor said you should exercise restraint during pregnancy."

The Fifth Young Lady of the residence of Marquis Chang Xing was wrongly carried away upon birth and the daughter of a farmer became a Young Lady by accident. The real daughter of the Marquis residence lived amongst the commoners and suffered for thirteen difficult years.... more>>

On the thirteenth year, Chu Jin Yao finally returned to her biological parents’ side. However, the awkward thing was that Mother disliked her for having vulgar manners and wholeheartedly loved the previous ‘daughter’. Even Grandmother could not bear to send the granddaughter she had doted on for thirteen years back to the farming family and made the decision to allow the fake daughter to stay on and continue to be the Young Lady of a Marquis lineage.

Chu Jin Yao, who grew up in a poor family, was out of place in the Marquis Residence. After yet another hindrance from her younger paternal cousin sister, Chu Jin Yao was shedding tears in her room when she discovered that her jade pendant could speak.

Li Rong married Pei Wenxuan at the age of 18.... more>>

Li Rong used Pei Wenxuan’s family background to avoid disaster, and Pei Wenxuan used Li Rong’s identity as Princess to establish himself.

They married for political reasons, without the slightest bit of affection.

Later on, she lost herself in the midst of wine, song and dance. As for him, he had a home yet did not bother coming home because he already had someone in his heart…

Husband and wife for 30 years, yet nothing between them but power.

In the end, it was hardly surprising that someone turned them against each other, leading them to die under each other’s schemes.

However, when they woke up, they had actually returned to the year when they were 18 years old, returning to the most difficult time in their lives.

So Pei Wenxuan went to look for Li Rong.

“Does Your Highness feel that we should go through this marriage again?”

“Let’s do it…”

“Then this humble one must get rid of your ‘Guest Official’ first.”

“Do you think I’ll let your sweetheart off?!”

After a long wordless silence, Pei Wenxuan spoke again: “How about we bear with one another for the time being? In two years, when we each have power in our hands, you and I will divorce. From then on, if there are grievances, settle those grievances, if there are grudges, settle those grudges. What does the Princess think?”

Li Rong hesitated for a moment, and then said: “Fine, go ahead with it first…”

Later, Pei Wenxuan and Li Rong secured the power to control the Imperial Court. Seeing Li Rong write up the divorce letter at home, Pei Wenxuan looked left and right, considering the situation from all angles, then finally walked into the study. “The children are already this old, how about we keep living like this for a while?” <<less

“What if I love the world?” She asked.

[The Birth of a Hero] was a novel focused on the adventures of the main character, Choi Han, a high school boy who was transported to a different dimension from Earth, along with the birth of the numerous heroes of the continent.

The problem is that Choi Han becomes twisted after that village, and everyone in it, is destroyed by assassins.
