After graduating from the Department of Theater and Film, Mirang was working as an extra in the movie industry when she unexpectedly landed a significant role in a new film by a famous director. ... more>>

Her joy is short-lived, however, when the revised script comes back with a passionate bed scene. She was about to give up on her role, but when she saw her older sister struggling to support her, she strengthened her resolve.

Following her senior’s advice to gain experience if she had none, Mirang came to Itaewon to find a partner. There, she offered to help a soldier who had his wallet and passport stolen.

He was perfect for a no-strings-attached practice session.

“Hello? My name is Mirang Kang. Can I help you?”

“No, thank you.”

He rejected her outright, but she couldn’t give up now. Embarrassed, with her ears red and lips trembling, Mirang pushes on, her determination outweighing her shame.

“I help you, you help me. Okay?”

The man stares at her for a long moment before he sighs and nods reluctantly.

“…Okay.”

After paying for his drinks and bringing him to her home, Mirang discovers, to her delight, that he speaks Korean. She eagerly hands him the script, only to face his scorn after he reads it.

“Adult film? So, you’re a p*rn actress?”

“What? p*rno? Are you insane?”

“No?”

“I’m really not that kind of actress! I get that just reading the script might give that impression… but it’s really not that kind of movie.”

After many twists and turns, the two began practicing. What started as strict adherence to the script soon turned into dangerous, breathtaking improvisation.

André de Lafayette never lost sight of his position. Having completed his military service per his family’s tradition, he was returning to New York when he met Mirang by chance. Experiencing his first deviation from a meticulously planned life, he finds his cold blue blood stirred by unfamiliar emotions.

A woman with a flame-like innocence in her heart meets a man with blue blood as cold as ice. Will the flame extinguish first, or will the ice melt away?

This is a retro romance with an analog feel that unfolds between Seoul and New York in the mid-90s. <<less

Possessed into the game ‘Flower of Arbonis,’ Ardi was trapped in the tedious cycle of regression forced by the system to see the ending with the male lead.

But, this regression seems different…?

“What if you grant me the chance to help you, Young Lady?”

“…I’m not sure what Your Highness is talking about.”

Estieren, who wasn’t even a target, starts showing interest towards her.

And suddenly…

[ Congratulations, Estieren Kaisian Route has been unlocked! ]

…Even his route was unlocked all of a sudden.

Flustered by this, Ardi tries to distance herself from him.

“Why are you here?”

“I was wondering if I would catch a glimpse of Young Lady’s face for a moment. In that case, may I request a song?”

Along with a series of coincidental encounters with Estieren and his sincere actions to help her, the relationship between the two gradually begins to change…

One night, Oscar picked up the key to a safe he had once desperately searched for. The person who came with it became a living key was a woman, extraordinary in every aspect. Her tearful eyes, naive actions, even her name and appearance. The woman was oddly irritating. He was even displeased at having to ponder how to describe that irritation. So, he wanted to temporarily put it out of sight, in a place where it couldn't be seen.... more>>

“I... want to be by your side.”

It was too ridiculous to be sincere, and far too pathetic to be temptation.

Therefore, the one who was ensnared was undoubtedly an idiot.

Even when subjected to all kinds of insults, the woman approached until the end. On those small, soft palms, which knew no calluses, Oscar von Reinhardt was played with.

So, I must hold you accountable.

To you, who never had sincerity, not even for a single moment.

Until the very end...

To you, who even hid your name from me,

I will hold you accountable, very cruelly.

Oscar von Reinhardt – The head of the Reinhardt dukedom, with black curly hair and blue eyes. He owns the railway that crosses the Norfolk continent and the largest steel company on the continent. He is willing to do anything for his goals, even if it means kissing the back his enemy’s hand. He has brought his ruined family back to prominence through extreme efficiency. Therefore, he spurns himself for falling for the wiles of such ridiculous seduction, nor can he forgive the woman who made him feel this way.

Han Seo Ah – A mixed-race individual with brown hair and brown eyes. She has been an outsider from the moment she formed her first memory. Her appearance stands out, to the point she is suspicious of her birth. The starting point of her sin was when she came into existence. Therefore, she wishes to atone for all her wrongdoings; to her grandfather, and to that man whose mere presence makes her heart flutter. <<less

She was the youngest daughter of a villainous family and had possessed the body of the villainess of the original novel.... more>>

However…

“Once again, you’ve spent money extravagantly. Well done.”

“Daughter, shall we go shopping with Daddy? I bought another boutique just for you yesterday.”

“Here’s the key to the safe. If you need more, just let me know.”

“Evelyn, I had a top made just for you, so I can give you the very best!”

All I did was spend money, but the villainous family treated me very well.

With a family like that, who cares if I’m a villain or not?

I had thought about cutting ties with the original story because I didn’t want to trigger a love affair for the main characters or get entangled in death flags.

But then…

“The Princess forgot about me, it’s unbelievable.”

“Does the Princess treat love like a joke?”

Whenever I tried to distance myself, the main couple grabbed me.

It couldn’t be helped; the mad are the best at dealing with the mad.

As a last resort, I bought the craziest character in the original story, the sub-male lead and the leader of the underworld.

“Now, 200 gold. Play the role of my fiancé and try to drive them away.”

“That’s easy enough. Agreed.”

And just in case, I added another purse to the offer.

“…I’ll add another condition for 300 gold.”

“What is it?”

“Don’t fall for me.”

With a mischievous grin, Raphael laughed and said,

“Of all people, the Princess should not fall for me!” <<less

"Your Highness, there’s something I’d really like for my birthday."... more>>

"What is it?"

"Will you promise to listen?"

Then the man blatantly laughed.

But who would point out his arrogance – a young Northern Duke who’s not even afraid of the Emperor? He could even get a throne if he wished for it.

But it was just a sweet lover’s birthday wish.

"Alright. I swear."

So, Juliet spoke lightly,

"Please break up with me. I don’t love you anymore."

A fiance just for show. A succession of meaningless nights.

Now is the time to end seven years of unrequited love. <<less

Lilica was a girl that spent her days in the slums with her alcoholic mother.... more>>

However, one day…

"Kyaa, it's hot! No!"

With a scream, her mother woke up and asked nonsensically, "Lily, you're alive! You’ve become younger?"

"What's the date?"

She's lost her mind!

"This can't be... I've returned!"

She started spouting more puzzling things, even going so far as to say, "I need to go to the Imperial Ball and meet the Emperor!

Lilica began to worry that something had gone wrong with her Mother's mind... <<less

Erdene, the heir to the belligerent Hirshstein Empire, the next owner of the throne, the iron-blooded princess. What awaited her, who had returned victorious from a long war, was the position of queen of the Kingdom of Vetor, a kingdom she had never held a grudge against.... more>>

"This cannot be! How can Your Majesty do this to Her Highness the Princess!"

Erdene, who had to accept everything that was changing without her being able to do anything about it, and a life that she had never thought would be her future.

And the king who came to meet her, Arkan, a king who hated 'violence' and loved peace and reading.

The moment Erdene met him, she thought.

'This man is not right for me.'

* * *

"All I had to do was say 'I'm sorry', but you're making it sound like a serious confession, that's why."

"This is ridiculous. So in the Empire, do you just hit someone and say 'Oops, sorry?' and move on?"

"It's the other way around. Do you think our people are some kind of back-alley thugs?"

"Who said that?"

The woman with jet-black hair pulled back roughly frowned her white and fair face and said.

"If you hit us once, we'll hit you back twice. That's how we apologize, Your Majesty."

Then, a man who looked as gentle as a large dog glared and slammed his fist on the table.

"What kind of apology is that! What country calls that an apology?"

"Our country."

The woman sneered.

The man, who had been looking at her with an expression of disbelief, also burst out laughing and turned his head away.

Turning their backs on each other like sulky children, the two people, ironically, were thinking the same thing.

'What the hell is this!' <<less

“A useless thing like you has no value in our family. Take this money and leave immediately!”... more>>

“Yes! Goodbye!”

She became the incompetent villainess who commits wrongdoings in order to earn the love of her fiance, the male lead.

Her reputation was already at rock bottom and the main characters, who can’t live without each other, are having an affair.

“Getting kicked out and receiving money is good enough!”

So after she was kicked out, she set up a stationery store in front of a school. She reminisces of snacks, beer candy, and even bubbles! Just you wait, kids!

But… somehow her young customers are a little weird?

“I’ll find you a handsome and modest man, and not someone who has an affair like my brother!”

“Ha, then what about my brother, the crown prince?”

“…the tower master is the best.”

The great magic swordsman, the next crown prince, the villainous tower master, and finally, the hidden villain.

The stationery store, which she thought would be peaceful, left her with no rest.

Help me! I just wanted to live a normal life! <<less

“Elaina, Archduke Grant is coming to visit tomorrow……. Someone you like.”... more>>

Diane’s sobs reminded Elaina of a book. Every night, she read the same book over and over again in her dreams. In the book “Moon Shadow,” Diane is sold off to become the wife of Archduke Grant due to family circumstances, preventing her from marrying the man she loves. The book ends with Diane, tired of her loveless marriage, taking her own life.

‘This can’t be happening!’

She had done so much to prevent Diane’s misery. Now she can’t stand by and watch her fall into the devil’s maw.

“Don’t worry, Diane.”

Elaina took Diane’s hand and reassured her.

“I’ll take care of everything.”

She will. Even if it means she herself marries him instead.

***

“You’ve interfered with every approach I’ve made to Diane Redwood, and now you’re asking me to marry you?”

“Think of it more like a one-year contract than a marriage. We can give and take what we want from each other.”

Lyle Grant looked at Elaina with confusion.

“What on earth would you do that for?”

“I have a heart that won’t let me turn away from a poor person.”

It wasn’t just for Diane. Diane, the protagonist, Nathan, the love of her life, and Lyle and his younger brother. Everyone in “Moon Shadow” was unhappy, each for their own reasons.

“I promise, I’ll be your wife for a year, but I’ll do my best while I’m at it.”

Elaina smiled up at Lyle, her face full of confidence. She had a plan to make all the characters in the damn “Moon Shadow” happy. <<less

On the day I witnessed my husband’s affair, I possessed the manic ex-wife of the male lead.... more>>

“Rebecca, I would have told you not to touch my body without permission.”

I divorced him at once with one condition I stay in the mansion next door for the time being for the sake of my life. By the way…

” I regret the moment I divorced you. And my folly that I knew nothing about until your heart left me. Rebecca, I want to win your heart back.”

“Your Highness, you said you would live next door for the time being, but you didn’t ask me to regret it?”

“You’ve been struggling, because of me…”

With those quiet words, Rebecca let go of their clasped hands.

“…How about you, Cedric?”

At that moment, instead of my departure, all I had to do was stay with Cedric…

***

There was only an unexpected sense of emptiness.

‘Rebecca is gone. And with another man.’

The image of man and woman holding each other in their arms kept disturbing my mind. Soon, a thick tendon bulged above the back of my clenched hand.

‘Rebecca, you can’t leave me yet.’

Even if she did, it would be this way now. At least for the time she promises to stay in this castle. I had to give myself the slightest chance to catch her.

“Answer me, really, did you try to run away with another man? You did it to punish me because you can put up with it.” <<less

Sehwa turned his head away as if he didn’t want to deal with them. It was an obvious provocation, an everyday occurrence, but just because he was used to it didn’t mean he didn’t care how they treated him.

Sakura, Hongdan-i, and sometimes Samwol-i…

He’d told them hundreds of times not to call him by that nickname, but no one listened to the words of a mere creditor, petty hustler, or drug dealer. Still, Sehwa spoke tirelessly every time.​

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a wooden box to be sold at auction as a s*ave.... more>>

It was good that the original male lead showed up like a comet and rescued me.

But this man is suddenly asking me to marry him out of nowhere.

“Become my wife and give me the most glamorous show in this empire. If I marry you, no one would dare to think of coming by my side anymore.”

“What about the pay?”

“I’ll give you 10 billion.”

What the F…c….k? Welcome, my dear customer!

I was willing to defeat all of his fans and enjoy the rest of my life as a crazy bit*h in this area-

“I can’t think of my life without you anymore.”

Somehow I won’t be able to keep the male lead who will likely be taken from me.

Will the wicked acts of a villainess bring money, power, honor, or even love? <<less

I possessed a strange body: Isabella Dunkeld, hated by her family and labeled an evil woman by everyone. The problem is… I’m a demon. A demon strong enough to be Demon Lord of the Demon Realm.... more>>

‘How did I end up in this body?’

I don’t remember signing a contract with the owner of this body, but when I woke up, I was trapped in this body with all my magic sealed away.

I have to act as ‘human’ as possible to avoid being recognized.

“So how many people have I killed with this hand? Hundreds? Thousands?”

“Uh… you haven’t killed a single person?”

“I haven’t killed a single person, and they call me an evil woman?”

…Humans are too difficult for me, a demon, to understand.

For the contract to be complete and for me to escape this body, I must fulfill Isabella’s most fervent wish.

‘Make my family regret what they did.’

An uncaring father and an insane brother. I’ll have to get acquainted with this family first.

“Hey, when you talk like that, it makes us sound like scum.”

“You are scum. Reflect on yourself, scum.”

“Witch Hazel should be executed for kidnapping!”
“You’re going to be executed for kidnapping the younger siblings of the Archduke!”
“If you execute Hazel, I will starve for the rest of my life!”
‌“Ahhh- Hazel cannot go.”

Thanks to the children, it was good that I became the nanny of them, but my employer…
“The Duke doesn’t marry a witch. Of course, not even a nanny.”

It’s okay because I don’t want to marry either. Even more so with the Grand Duke! I’m just going to raise the kids and leave.

‌On the long-awaited retirement day.
“What kind of potion did you use for me? No, I’d rather you use it because it’s a potion”

What I brought out is a letter of resignation, but why is the duke giving me a ring?

Guys, calm down.

I was tricked by the dark and sinister type due to a contract I made when I was young, and I became a married woman!

Sure, we can get married. But I will still date!

This damn empire, it was more conservative than a backward country.

If I cheat after getting married → slap on the wrist.

If I’m accused of cheating when I didn’t → slap on the wrist.

Yan Yan has become the cannon fodder in the novel.... more>>

Young Master Cannon Fodder was lost when he was a child, and when he was found he was covered with scent of red dust (1), his lazy look provoked annoyance. So it didn’t take long for the cannon fodder to be sent to marriage by his family. The marriage partner is the protagonist of the book.

After the marriage, the cannon fodder not only failed to curb it, but became more able to do it. He pestered the protagonist all day acting coquettish, and finally the protagonist gave the cannon fodder a huge sum of money and drove the person out of the house.

After seeing the “end” of the cannon fodder, Yan Yan’s eyes lit up. Behave in a spoiled manner? He is best at it. It is guaranteed that the protagonist will not be able to bear it within three months, and he will be driven out with a huge sum of money.

Because of a favor owed by his father, Ji Juechuan, who has already achieved something at a young age, had to marry the young master of the Yan family who doesn’t love his mother or father.

On the first day of cohabitation before marriage, Ji Juechuan sat on the side of the bed and looked at his mobile phone. His face became even more ugly when he thought that he would be sleeping in a bed with the perfume-scented person. He will make it clear as soon as he arrives, and let the man pay attention to his behavior.

The bathroom door opened, and a soft and refreshing ball rolled into his arms. The young man with wet hair raised his face and smiled sweetly: “Husband, can I sleep with you tonight?”

Ji Juechuan looked at the person in his arms for a long time, and his Adam’s apple moved slightly.

“Yes.”

Later, Yan Yan received a huge sum of money from Ji Juechuan. It was just that the ticket he had prepared was torn to pieces. The man’s hot hands pressed against his waist, his tone dangerous.

“Yanyan, our wedding hasn’t been held yet, where do you want to go?”

Yan Yan:? That’s not what it says in the book!

*Mr Ji at the beginning: #Who is his wife? Anyway, it’s not my wife#
