Qi Yue is notorious in the circle as a playboy, but he was married off to a sickly individual, Shen Young Master, under his stepmother’s manipulation, in the name of a strategic union. Everyone knows their family is selling their child for fame.... more>>

But before getting married, he had a dream. In the dream, he also married Shen Young Master due to a strategic union. They have been married for three years, treating each other with respect.

Just when Qi Yue thought they could live peacefully, Shen Kuozhi’s ex returned.

Qi Yue detests infidelity the most because of his original family.

Recently, Shen Kuozhi has been coming home late and spending time with his ex every day.

Doesn’t he have any regard for him at all? Thinks he won’t do anything? He really doesn’t know himself.

Without hesitation, Qi Yue informs Shen Kuozhi of his decision to divorce as soon as he finds out.

Then, he wakes up.

Qi Yue, who never believed in such things, looks at what happened in the dream and his marriage partner. He just wants to say one thing: rnm, refund! I want a divorce. <<less

Yu Kai is widely regarded as the cherished love interest of Liu Yueming, someone who is untouchable in the eyes of everyone.... more>>

However, she alone experiences the bitter anguish within her heart. Throughout the past six years, she has consistently played a subservient role, enduring the discomfort of receiving cold treatment despite her genuine efforts.

She believed that Liu Yueming’s lack of verbal affection could be overcome through wholehearted dedication, hoping to warm her heart in the process.

In the sixth year of being together, Yu Kai, having achieved the title of Best Actress, meticulously prepared a key necklace to unlock the icy padlock and officially become Liu Yueming’s girlfriend.

But amidst the ambiguous play of light and shadow, the usually reserved Liu Yueming was seen smiling and holding hands with another woman, engaging in lively conversations and displaying intimate gestures.

Liu Yueming approached her while holding the woman’s hand, introducing her as an “old friend” from the past.

She further expressed the need for them to get along well in the future.

As she gazed at the woman who bore an uncanny resemblance to herself, it was as if a crushing blow had struck her.

“I couldn’t care less about her.” Despite being a stand-in for six years, she still foolishly entertained the notion of transforming from a mere sparrow to a phoenix.

Then with a sudden awakening, Yu Kai found herself transported back to the very same place she was six years ago.

In this lifetime, she’ll no longer love.

However, after being reborn, the award-winning actress seemed to have undergone a transformation. The once distant person who never initiated embraces now willingly embraced her.

She, who had never allowed herself to be kissed, now took the initiative to steal kisses from her. The one who always maintained a cold demeanor would even blush and express affectionate words in her arms, saying, “I love Little Yu the most.”

Damn rebirth, she was frightened by it. She needed to quickly save money and provisions to run away.

…

Liu Yueming was reborn, and she realized that the lovebird she had nurtured was still just as obedient as before.

However, after their intimate encounters in the late night, Yu Kai no longer regarded her with eyes filled with love, nor did she inquire about her feelings.

In that case, she had to take the initiative herself.

Until one day, the lovebird packed a small parcel and said, “Yueming, thank you for your care. I have settled all the debts at home, and from now on, we are even…”

...

During the intense clash between their devoted fan bases, Liu Yueming posted on her Weibo account: “My dear Kai, I look forward to your guidance in the future.”

The post is accompanied by a picture where two lovely hands are tightly clasped, each adorned with rose-colored diamond rings from a certain brand’s Love series, known as “K.”

Yu Kai replied, “I have plucked the moon.” She accompanied her response with the same image.

As a result, on that day, the devoted fans of both parties were in a frenzy on Weibo, rushing around in distress and shedding tears.

The fans of the couple (CP) exploded with excitement, causing the webpage to crash for the entire day. <<less

Grace has endured insults and misfortunes with the sole purpose that she must survive.
She abandoned her life as a noblewoman and became a librarian, living each day quietly and diligently.... more>>

In front of her appeared a man named Karl von Valles.
He proposed a contract, saying he would help Grace achieve what she wanted.

"I cannot accept."
"This makes your 98th rejection."

All she wants is to live a peaceful and quiet life.
But the crown prince keeps interrupting her rest.

"Grace Brodin."

He called out her name softly.
She must’ve been mistaken, but somehow, it feels like he's hurt.

"Why do you refuse so vehemently?"

As he gradually approached her face,
Grace unknowingly nibbled on her lower lip.
Is he attacking suddenly with his beauty?

"Still, I can’t accept it."

Please, can't you just leave me alone? <<less

After a red meteor slashed through the heavens, human progress ground to a halt. ... more>>

Since that momentous day, humanity lost its ability to create rockets, nuclear weapons, airplanes, cars...

The towering pyramid of civilization, meticulously built from the achievements of modern science, crumbled into dust.

Yet, the catastrophe didn't stop there. The grey realm, following the arrival of the red meteor, like a ghostly reflection behind a mirror, dragged the civilized world bit by bit into the abyss of disorder.

In this new age, a human life was no more significant than a speck of dust, yet amidst the ruins, humanity's spirit shone as brightly as the stars.

Amid the crumbling edifice, observers could see a figure—an actor—defiantly standing on the wreckage of civilization, his red cloak as vivid as blood, his expressions flickering between laughter and tears. Behind him, the curtain of the era gently parted. With arms wide open, he whispered to all who would listen— "Let the show begin." <<less

She possessed a villainess who is known and hated for her evil acts in an unpopular novel. But because of her personality, it was extremely difficult for her to play the villainess role. But not for long…... more>>

“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?”

I have had enough of dealing with my father, so why did an unexpected character suddenly appear? What if this person disrupts my plan? <<less

County Libelois suffered an astronomical compensation due to the successor’s mistake.... more>>

On behalf of the older brother who could not pay the compensation, Anne leaves for the North as she was pushed by her family and becomes the Grand Duchess.

But the Grand Duke Daymond Cromund, whom she met there, was not as old as the rumors suggested, and was somewhat secretive…

“If I give birth to an heir, please let me leave.”

“So arrogant. If you want a child, you would have to take my seed every day.”

For a moment, Anne almost screamed, reassured by the Grand Duke’s appearance, who willingly accepted her proposal.

Every time he held her, his face was filled with anger.

Daymond held her sadistically as the nights went by.

Anne was confused by the sight of the Grand Duke, who was constantly holding her while enduring his anger.

Did she spit out a forbidden word? <<less

The day she tried to find the right person and propose a contract marriage to avoid a terrible marriage,... more>>

The Duke of Ertmann offered her a contract marriage, whom she thought she would never have a relationship with for the rest of her life.
One of the terms of the contract he offered.
"Love me. If you can't, try your best to make them believe it."
That you love me terribly, so much, that I can live in vain dreams.

Reluctantly, she accepted the marriage, but her doubts did not go away.
Why the hell did he want me? And… why are you looking at me with such sad eyes? <<less

“Do as I say if you value your mother’s life.”... more>>

Erica was the nanny’s daughter and was forced to get married in place of the lady she served. Even the groom-to-be was the prince of the evil Archleiff Dukedom.

‘What if I am hated there, too?’

I’m dead meat if I get caught!

Even if it was frightening, Erica was prepared to put up with all forms of prejudice, mistreatment, and bullying in order to see the day when she would be reunited with her mother. But contrary to her expectation, the life of a fake bride turned out to be sweet, after all…?

“I take back what I said that you should live here like a mouse. Do whatever you want. Do as you like to your heart’s content.”

Erica tries hard not to forget that this marriage was bound to end someday, but it wasn’t easy at all. “Didn’t we agree to divorce once I become an adult?”

“That’s right. And at that time, I didn’t give you an answer.”

Unlike his gentle smile, her husband’s eyes flickered like a wildfire.

“Erica, if you ever have any place to go, shouldn’t it only be next to me?”

Will Erica be able to live the modest life she had always wanted without ever being discovered as a fake bride? <<less

I've transmigrated into my favorite romance novel, which I've read hundreds of times while waiting for its completion.... more>>

Wouldn't it be wonderful if I transmigrated as a noble lady living a comfortable life? Unfortunately, I've transmigrated as the villainess who tormented the heroine mercilessly, ending up dying a horrible death as a fake saint candidate.

So, unlike the original story, I quickly resign as the saint candidate and leave the temple. I then set up a home for a fortune-teller who can predict fate accurately, thanks to my memory of the author's typos. My reputation soars as I impressively predict the future, which was initially just a means to survive.

As a result, the temple that once ignored me, the first prince embroiled in the Throne of Blood War, and the next Ma-topju (the highest-ranking official) consumed by unprecedented narcissism all begin to obsess over me.

To escape the most dangerous part where I'm killed off in the original work, the temple, I must enter into a contract marriage. But who should I marry to make it work?

After much deliberation, embarking on a contract marriage proves to be anything but easy.

How does one navigate a wise married life? <<less

I'm Selena, a daughter born to a family well-known for their fertile women. I was sold off in a marriage to a sickly duke whose life hung in the balance, for the sake of producing an heir of his family. They provided me a medicine purported to aid in pregnancy, and the astrologist even advised me about good days to sleep together, but...there was no child.... more>>

"So, are there any signs of pregnancy?"

"Ah, I-I'm sorry."

"You're useless. What luck do you think won you the position of the duke's wife?"

I couldn't say a word.

‘No, excuse me. I only have to look at the sky to pluck a star. That's how I attained this position.'

***

A husband who doesn't like touching me in the least.

But he's still pitiful so let's at least make him healthy by feeding him nutritious food, getting him to exercise, and I'll personally test any doubtful food first. Once he recovers from my extensive efforts, I'll sign an annulment paper and flee, but...

"You agreed to a contract to bear me an heir. But to think you would go back on your words..."

Although he's in good health now, my "former" husband has become a bit too healthy.

"You're healthy now!"

"The duties of marriage are sacred. I will collect my dues."

"Wait. Wait! But we're divorced? We're no longer husband and wife..."

He smirked then took a piece of paper from his breast pocket and tossed it to me.

"We aren't divorced yet." <<less

“Artea is my niece.”
“She's also my niece.”... more>>

It is 100% correct to say that you should not have double in-laws. I was just trying to raise my niece.

“Bellona, Marry me.”
"What?"
“Isn’t this the best way for both of us to raise Artea?”

Suddenly, the contract marriage with my ex-boyfriend began. No way!

“My uncle loved my aunt so much that he asked her to marry him.”
“Aaaah, it’s romantic!”

But is it okay to lie to this extent? I did it?

“Wow, dancing with my aunt and uncle is pretty!”
“My aunt and uncle love each other so much, so they say I have to go out with them sometimes to go on dates!”

Thanks to my niece’s help, or rather, interference. Now I sleep in the same bed every day. Is this… right?

“Auntie can’t run away. If she does, my uncle will catch her.”
"Yes. I won’t let you go!”

It is clearly a contract marriage made with divorce in mind, but there is no way out. <<less

Cha Ui-jae, a hunter assigned to repair a rift in the West Sea, was thrown out when the rift closed abruptly. He then wakes up in a garbage dump.... more>>

Extremely hungry and in a zombie-like state, he’s drawn to a hangover soup restaurant, where he realizes that he has fallen eight years into the future.

In this era, an emergency alert tells you when and where a gate will open, ASMR videos of dungeon slimes go viral, and a leisurely hunter broadcasts an unboxing of an A-class longsword.

Unlike the past, where everyone feared the arrival of the end of the world, the future was peaceful. Ui-jae felt empty. Now, instead of being a hunter, he is going to start the second act of his life as a part-timer at a hangover soup restaurant?!

“Strange.”

“…….”

“Where have we met before?”

As the only part-time worker at a decades-old hangover soup restaurant, Cha Ui-jae’s plans to spend the rest of his life quietly go awry when he encounters a mysterious ‘gas mask’… <<less

The first twins of the Royal Family had been branded as ominous beings and Roelin’s existence was completely erased in the Separate Palace.

It was unfair, but instead of the twin sister, they told her to be the monster’s bride…?

‘It’s a rather good thing actually.’

If she were to get out of this huge prison, she would then be the wife of a monstrous emperor.

“Welcome to Seroif, Princess Erita.”

“It is such an honor for the leader of the Empire to welcome me like this.”

Roelin was determined as she headed to the Empire. But Kergel, who had been said to be a monster, was surprisingly caring.

“Roelin. The name goes quite well with you.”

He thought that this name was even better than the original name itself.

In the presence of Kergel, who made her heart pound, would Roelin be able to live safely as a fake bride? <<less

Runtis became an exorcist priest solely to have s*x with demons. He has a habit of calling his opponent's name when he gets excited. He was caught in the frustration of getting fed up with an unintentional exorcism.... more>>

One day, he heard a rumour about two brothers being possessed by a demon.
***

"Oh, no. I got hard."

The two demons' gazes were fixed on Runtis' penis, which was ere*t beneath his priest's robe. Runtis leaned closer to the younger brother and whispered with a blushed face.

"If you don't want to be exorcised, please screw me over."
"What?"
“I'm going crazy because my back hole is itching. I'm going to make you f*ck me like crazy for about three days.”

Runtis would be the only priest in the world who could confound the demon.
However, the man's arm who was gripped by Runtis, chuckled as if he found it amusing and pulled Runtis' waist.

Runtis let out a small moan as his ere*t and swollen pen*s was rubbed.

“A priest asking for a demon's dick, how amusing."

Runtis reached out and grabbed the wrist of another demon standing next to him. He also looked at Runtis with great interest.

"You will also join us, right?"

The demon's saliva, which was as good as an aphrodisiac, began to arouse him. <<less

Liv Rhodes was an ordinary tutor.... more>>

Avoiding other people’s gazes, she modeled nude a couple of times to pay for her sick sister’s medicine.

She thought there wouldn’t be a problem because she only let the painter draw her back.

***

“Even if God listens, he will not grant it.”

The sarcastic murmur was so small that Liv could barely hear it.

“It is humans who have the power to achieve something, Teacher.”

The low voice was terrifyingly chill, but at the same time alluring, like a siren’s song.

The blue eyes, which had been staring at the statue the whole time, glanced down at Liv.

“So pray to me.”

The Marquis' mouth twisted very faintly.

This short moment of eye contact with him felt like an eon of time.

“First, let’s get divorced.”

I tried to start a new life by dumping my husband, who has been treating me like tr*sh, and my family who treated me like dirt.

But.

“Leaving? You will leave me?”

My husband who doesn’t believe me.

The empire’s margrave, the Valiant Brown Lion, the owner of the famed sword, Ascaron.
And the lord of the territory, ‘Genevu’, located at the empire’s borders and in the Atlas Mountains, which touched the skies.

‘Marquis Balt Haustein Friedrich Morenheitz.’

In order to save the lives of a woman and two children he had never seen before, he had to cut the legs of his beloved horse and pierced a sword into its throat.

"Bring the children's father. I will hold him accountable for the price of the horse's life."
"I don’t have a husband."

Blue eyes, resembling the still spring waters of the deep mountains, stared back at Balt.

"If there's anything I can do to repay you with a woman's body… I'll do it."
"Anything?"

Filled only with confusion and instinctual desire, Balt embraces Claire, a widow and a mother of three.

But that night, he realises that he is her first man.

"Why did you lie to me? Explain yourself immediately."
"Just leave me alone. Because there isn’t anything I want."
"What are you actually afraid of?"

The east wind, carrying the cold air of Atlas, blew through Genevu as spring arrived.

"Am I unable to make you the Marchioness? Or perhaps, I’ll actually make it happen?"

An icy, blue-eyed woman, whom he was unable to abandon, and unwilling to forsake. Before these two, an unfathomable and cruel fate unfolds. <<less

Owner of the opulent great theatre, a man with whom anyone may fall in love at first sight.... more>>

The audience recognized the famous name when they saw Edgar Wharton, the blond, gorgeous man enter the theatre.

Even though he makes several females lose sleep over their affection for him, Natalie has a crush on a genuine gentleman rather than this showy socialite.

However, Edgar Wharton, famous for winning ladies' hearts with his attractive grin, accidentally revealed her hidden, unrequited love.

"I'll help you."

The playboy of the social world and the bookworm of the baron's family shared a common goal: to assist each other in finding love.

“Natalie, will you be my girlfriend? Leonard will fall in love with you, and we can break up."

The curtain was raised on a play called 'Contract Dating,' in which the goal was to avoid falling for the other's act of love.

"I'm not good at deceiving others."

"Then try loving me."

The dominant man's smile was so appealing that it appeared seductive.

He asked her to cross the border, but he remained in place, commanding love but not loving.

Natalie vowed not to love him or allow herself to love him. But...

"Do you want to mess up my daily life?"

Mr. Wharton smiled mischievously as he examined Natalie's lips.

Under the guidance of her obstinate father, Seizel had been living as ’the most perfect lady in the world’ until her demise as an unexpected mu*derer.

That very day when her miserable ten-year-long imprisonment was about to end with her beheading, her second life commenced.

I’m just not gonna give a f*ck!

I’ll screw them over before they screw me over!

I’ll chew them up and spit them out before they can leech off me!

No more Ms. Nice Girl. Now, Seizel decided to live however she wants!

While she was at it, she planned to become the greatest con artist who swindles the empire itself, and picked up some former cellmates to get the second act of her life going…

Why does it seem like the world’s gonna end when I’ve just made up my mind!

“……Open your eyes, you fine lad. I need to get my money’s worth.”

For a world that’s easier to exploit!

As a final, bite-the-bullet act of charity, she took in and patched up ’The Empire’s Last Guardian’ Duke Leviaus, saving him from the brink of death. Now, all he has to do is bring glory to the empire……

Wow. What kind of a sucker is this?

“About who saved me, I cannot remember anything.”

The person who saved him is me, yet I’m about to be done dirty by randos, hell no.

Thus, unintentionally gaining the title of duchess, Seizel kickstarts her ’getting her money’s worth’ project.

“As long as you pay the promised fees on time, I will act as the perfect duchess for a year.”

“That would not be necessary. Everything in this house belongs to Your Ladyship anyway.”

But this man was a sucker of another level that was never before seen or heard. Courteous, pushy, clingy.

“W-what are you doing here, Your Grace?”

“It’s our first night together, my lady.”

…and lecherous. <<less
