Xie Yin Xue is on the brink of death, yet he clings to life.... more>>

In a desperate bid to survive, Xie Yin Xue, with no prior knowledge of exorcism, takes on a part-time job as a celestial master, helping individuals resolve paranormal occurrences. In return, clients are required to share a month of their lifespan with him and bear half of his afflictions.

His venture isn’t smooth sailing, prompting Xie Yin Xue to join a game named “Eternal Lock”. Once you’re in, failure to clear the game results in death. However, many participants are willing to endure temporary pain in exchange for extended life.

Inside the game, Xie Yin Xue extends his life by aiding others to clear levels. But due to his overpowering abilities, players often mistake him for a game NPC. Xie Yin Xue doesn’t mind, as long as it doesn’t hinder his pursuit of longevity.

That is, until the day he meets a real NPC…

NPC: “Evil ones are molded from water, the good from mud. The sight of the wicked refreshes me, while the righteous seem foul and repelling. Yet, Mr. Xie, you’re different from both; you have a delightful fragrance.”

I became the manager of a mansion where no one came to work because of the vicious rumors.

*Joining Aspirations and Future Plans
Planning to clean up the corrupt empire.」

Gasp, what is this!
He was the villain male lead who would later destroy the empire.
Why do you prepare that while doing other people’s housework. I put on a very harmless smile.

“Unfortunately, you have not passed due to your document…”
“Do you not like me?”

I was overwhelmed and frightened by the eerie eyes that sank lower and lower.

“I-it was actually a pressure interview. Pass.”
“What shall I do first, landlady? I’m good at housework, but I’m also good at other things.”

The man who suddenly changed into a friendly person gently showed a charming eye smile.

“I’d be happy to work the night as well.”
“What did you say?”
“I mean working overtime.”

He was very much desperate.
Even that’s not enough—the sword master, the devil, and the mage tower lord came together…

“I came here after seeing job postings for a cook, gardener, and butler. Let me do anything, Master.”

Ah, don’t plot treason in my house! <<less

In all my life, I’ve only made two mistakes that I regret. The first was filling out my entrance exam application wrong, and the second was offending Zhong Yuan. If I had to use an idiom to describe the impact of my mistake, it would be simply, ‘Life is no better than death’. And if I had to use an idiom to describe Zhong Yuan’s offenses to me, it would be simply, ‘Too many crimes to record’. And yet, for as evil and wicked as he was, he attracted girls the way that flowers attracted bees and butterflies.... more>>

It happened that one day, for some reason, I taunted Zhong Yuan, “The King of Hell sent you to torture some more people, didn’t he?” Without a change in expression, he replied, “In order to torture fewer people, I decided to just choose one person to torture for the rest of my life.” I asked him, “What do you mean?” He smiled at me and answered, “If you don’t go to hell, who will?” <<less

Seo Yi-soo, a young prosecutor, is faced with a distressing situation when her journalist sister mysteriously disappears. While delving into the clues left behind by her sister, she stumbles upon a shocking revelation involving the country’s largest law firm, Yoon & Kang.... more>>

In her quest for information, Yi-soo approaches Yoon Hyun-seong, her senior from college and the son of Yoon & Kang’s representative, proposing a contract engagement. Aware of his legal expertise, she suggests a one-year engagement contract.

Their relationship begins as a mere arrangement to fulfill their individual objectives. Yi-soo, without harboring any doubts, firmly believes in this pragmatic alliance. However, her unwavering faith is shattered in an instant.

As she rejoices momentarily, fate throws an unexpected twist at her. The air fills with a captivating blend of wood and cigarette smoke. Hyun-seong, with a cigarette poised between his index and middle fingers, invites her to experience it. His lips gently graze the cigarette, revealing a lazy yet alluring smile. His eyes exude indifference, while the veins on his hand appear prominently.

As the tip of the cigarette turns red, Yi-soo’s heart races, feeling as if it were shattered into pieces. <<less

I transmigrated into a novel as the maid of a prince who was trapped inside a tower.... more>>

It was depressing enough to be locked up in that tower, but the situation that I found myself in as soon as I transmigrated was straight up whack.
The original owner of this body, Rosé, threatened the prince and forced him to kiss her!
To make matters worse, Rosé was completely obsessed with the prince, and while trying to monopolize him, she dies a futile death!
We’re right on track to [death via decapitation] as soon as the prince escapes the tower.

So instead, I offered to make a contract with the prince, aptly titled as ‘The Contract for the Life and Death of Rosé Artius’.
No skinship at all! As long as he guarantees that I’ll live until a ripe old age, I will devote my diligence and loyalty to the prince!
But somehow… the prince’s gaze was a bit dangerous. And inside the tower, we were totally alone.

“Rosé, let’s kiss.”

…How did it end up like this?!

* * *

The breath that lingered on my lips disappeared as the stranger moved away.
I stared at the man who kissed me just now.
Under those dark eyebrows were red eyes that were exceedingly cold.
I was instantly bewitched. I couldn’t look away, as if there was an irresistible force coveting my gaze. Because he’s so handsome.

“Rosé, how long do we have to do this?”

I shuddered as the sweet voice whispered next to my ear. Only then did I come to my senses.
I laughed awkwardly to fill the silence. Ahaha, I really don’t know…

“I-I think we can stop now.”

At my words, Albert grinned. It was the forced, soulless smile of a sales team member. Nonetheless, he was still breathtakingly beautiful.

“Then, can I see it now?”
“…Yes.”

He took the wand that I had been holding.
In the novel, the maid Rosé always asked for a kiss from Albert in exchange for letting him see the wand.
In short, at this very moment, I was digging my own grave.
…Damn it. <<less
