“If I kill you, this partner relationship will be broken.”
“You can’t do that. We’ll both die at the same time.”

We were tied together by a tightly shared fate.
Sharing the same wounds, the same pain, the same life and death.
Plus, we had to have physical contact for the symbiosis?

When I found out about his mask, he was cruel to me with no hesitation.
Unreasonable amounts of work, unreasonable demands…
Why can’t I be with another man?

“I’ve figured it out! How to break this partner relationship!”

Now that my life would be safe, all that’s left is to get away―

“I have no intentions of breaking it.”
“…pardon?”
“Just like you, I’m also curious.”

He held me in his arms and his gaze slowly descended to my lips.

“I’m curious about to what extent our pain will be shared.” <<less

"I want to repay my husband's kindness."... more>>

Facing death, it was her last wish.
Miraculously given another chance at life, albeit limited…
It didn't matter if it was in the body of a complete stranger.

What? They weren't that close, were they?

Five years after her death,
Strange rumors were circulating.

"Are you... truly not Grace?"

Then, there was also her husband's suspicions.

In a situation where she couldn’t even admit that she’s Grace…
Could she really repay his kindness and leave safely? <<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

Because of a shocking group s*x scandal, two male actors took the initiative to bind themselves together. It’s a story about their sweet and professional life together.... more>>

Original title “Moon and Tide”... more>>

Lu Xici has been in the industry for many years and has a well-known “secret” – she got married at a young age.

She always wears a plain ring on her left ring finger, and whenever asked, she would shyly smile.

Anyone who sees this smile would think that the two of them are deeply in love, and she is very happy. Only she knows how forced that smile is.

Lu Xici originally thought that Jun Youyue didn’t like her.

With a written contract, they have been married for three years, and the total number of words they have spoken to each other does not exceed ten.

Jun Youyue also has a highly publicized scandal partner.

It wasn’t until Lu Xici accidentally saw Jun Youyue’s photo album that she discovered it was full of pictures of herself.

***

Jun Youyue also has a “secret”.

She has been in a secret marriage for many years, and her wife is her lovely little green plum*.

*childhood sweetheart

She would grab her clothes and call her jiejie*, cling to her neck and kiss her ear, and even when she was tired, she wouldn’t forget to ask for a goodnight kiss.

*elder sister

Who could resist falling in love with that? Well, Jun Youyue couldn’t.

She always thought that her married life was harmonious and their feelings for each other were good.

Until one day, Lu Xici suddenly handed her a divorce agreement without any warning.

Jun Youyue was dumbfounded.

How can you chase your wife if your mouth is too s*upid? Waiting online, very urgent.

***

Small scene:

In the travel variety show “Honeymoon Again,” the director gave Jun and Lu a few mission cards with questions from netizens.

Question 1: How does Ms. Jun view the rumors about the original state of their relationship?

Jun Youyue innocently: I think our relationship has always been good, right?

Lu Xici snorted: It has indeed always been good.

It was she, as the person involved, who had a blackout after drinking and didn’t know what happened before.

Question 2: Is it true that Actress Lu pursued Ms. Jun for over five years?

Jun Youyue grabbed the microphone: I pursued her.

Question 3: How often do you two…?

Lu Xici: Is it appropriate to ask this??

Jun Youyue: You should ask how many times per day.

Question 4: Do you want children?

Jun Youyue: ?

Lu Xici: This is getting more and more unscrupulous! Director!

In the end, the director was chased around the island by Lu Xici’s people for an hour. <<less

Troublemaker: “I understand, you like something more exciting, like a Christmas night gift play?”

CEO: “Shut up.”

CEO: “Why don’t you just sleep honestly and instead jump around on my bed?”

Troublemaker: “I am showcasing your bravery to your mother!”

CEO: ...

As the CEO gradually becomes attracted to the troublemaker:

Secretary: “Sir, the Madam has taken the one million yuan check you signed for him and went to see your white moonlight.”

CEO: “Oh, did he take it to act out the scene ‘Take one million and leave my husband’?”

Secretary: “No, he told your white moonlight that he would give him thirty million yuan, and he immediately left...”

CEO: “@#￥%...! Bring him back to me!”

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.

“You always give off this delicious smell…………. but how can I bear with it?”

Right now, at this moment, Judith felt like he was a cruel predator who would completely devour her from head to toe easily.

“You, uh, what the hell are you?”

Derrick kissed her chin and whispered languidly.

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.

Grace unknowingly nibbled on her lower lip.

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

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.

Hestia closed her eyes tightly. As he continued, she could easily anticipate what he was going to say. Will you be my bride? Will you be the mistress of my family? Will you give birth to my heir? It might be one of these three, but you don’t do these with a friend, right?

“No, I won’t marry you!”

“-you become the mage of my territory?”

“Of course, I’m fine with marriage too.”

Her face turned slightly red. Whether it was because she was ashamed of her mistake or because of his answer, she wasn’t sure.

“But, your dream is my dream. So, Hestia,”

Instead of a ring, he held out a standard mage contract and a fountain pen. In front of her was something she had neither seen nor received before.
