"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.
All that mattered was the opportunity to repay his kindness.

And yet.

"If you’re talking about Margrave Haberfeld, isn't he the one who went mad after losing his wife?"

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

All creatures born into this world will always have a spirit in their bodies.... more>>

No matter what kind of creature it is, without exception, a spirit is supposed to dwell in it.

However, Ugetsu Akira, the eldest son of a samurai family, was born without a spirit in his body in a nation called Takamagahara, and was therefore shunned by his family and eventually banished from his hometown.

Three years later, Akira lives a peaceful life in the southern part of the island, far from his hometown.

However, those peaceful days came to an end, and Akira took a step forward on a journey to learn more about himself. <<less

Trapped in a fictional world based on a novel. I snatched the duke, the sub male lead, to survive.... more>>

“As long as I am the head of the household, there is no need to forcefully keep this engagement.”

“No, Duke. I refuse to break off the engagement.”

“What?”

“I want to marry the Duke.”

“This is the Duchy of Atcher. Aren’t you afraid?”

The Duke of Atcher was known as a pe*verted family, famous for having short-lived duchesses in each generation.

“Why should I be afraid?”

‘My father was a pe*vert when I was born’, that wasn’t the Duke’s fault..

***

“You’re not my type.”

“Oh, is that so? The duke isn’t my type either.”

“I’ll be honest with you. I am not interested in marriage.”

“Oh, that’s great.”

“It’s great?”

“It’s my dream. A platonic marriage.”

“If you change your mind after marriage, please let me know. Divorce is always on the table.”

A world she can leave at any time once she logs out. If the groom was not interested in his wife, then it was a rather good thing.

I was sure it was…….

“Not today!”

“I-it’s a misunderstanding. I was just trying to hug you today.”

“I…. It’s suffocating.”

“I didn’t know it was that uncomfortable.”

“Th-that, my leg… . don’t poke me.”

“That’s a conditioned reflex….”

The story of a female lead who was alone trying to shoot a strategy/infiltration/espionage story while trying to pay for food. The duke’s wife, who found out that he was not a pe*vert, but had a rather ‘normal preference’. <<less

"Let's date!"... more>>

Because you like me, and I like you too!

On my 10th birthday, along with my past life, I remembered that this world was a romance fantasy novel. In addition to that, my current family will be ruined by the villain! Because of that, my beautiful life at the age of ten had a primary goal: to rehabilitate the villain—the first prince who was abandoned in the palace.

"Oho, you shouldn't use strength to suppress the weak."

"Conversation! Conversation! We have the wonderful means of conversation! Always choose to have a conversation first!"

"If the other party is hurt, even out of courtesy, ask if they're okay!"

Handsome! Well-raised! Someone who likes me so, so much! How could I not like someone like this?

But then... Could it be because he was raised too well?

"I'm sorry, we can't date right now."

"Why?"

"To truly earn your love, I must slay a dragon!"

That was something I said randomly while reading a romance novel...!

"I want to become a man worthy of being by your side. So, I'll catch a dragon!"

Crazy man! How could there be a dragon in this peaceful era! <<less

"Sell yourself to me, Princess. I will buy you for a very high price."... more>>

Sell herself?

Adeline's lips quivered. She couldn’t overlook such insulting words.

"How impudent! Is buying and selling people a norm in this kingdom?"
"Pardon me for being impolite.. When the Duke of Rocher has already put the Princess up for sale, it sounds naive coming from you."

Adeline, a noble Princess descended from two royal bloodlines, and Alexio, a half noble Duke with a commoner mother —a match that seemed impossible.

The whole nation is excited about the marriage of the century that has shaken the kingdom. But little do they know.
That their marriage was riddled with secret deals and contracts.

"I'll give you plenty of time to think about it. It's only natural to go through various verification processes for such a significant transaction..."
"I'll do it."
"...Yes?"
"I agree. To this marriage."

Why did two people who seemed totally mismatched end up joining forces? The real reason behind their marriage, kept under wraps, remained a mystery to everyone. <<less

In the prologue of a game, I possessed the body of an extra villain who became the opportunity for the male leads and heroine to meet.... more>>

The game just simply said, ‘Laura Laurus took advantage of his weakness to demand Yve's love.’

Since it was described as such, when she read it, she vaguely thought that she was a villain who liked the male lead.

‘I’ve never heard of a relationship this deep!’

☄

The silver eyes that always sparkled so brightly seemed to have become dull and sunken today.

“Laura, where have you been?”

“I have some business to run for a moment.”

“You’ve been hanging out with my brother a lot lately.”

“Well, that’s...”

Since it was a story related to the original work, I couldn't tell Yve.

The more I couldn't answer easily, the more Yve's eyes became cloudy.

“Are you going to abandon me?”

“What?”

“I have dedicated my first time to you…”

For a moment, I tried to say that it was the same for me, but I regained my reason.

Laura didn't know why Yve was like this, but she seemed like she needed to calm down first.

“Yves, you seem to be mistaken…”

“Or maybe... are you already sick of me? I admit that I was clumsy because it was my first time.”

A red warning light flashed in her head. It must be a signal to run away quickly because something strange is going on.

But I couldn't move because of the strong arms that wrapped around my waist.

“Give me one more chance. I can do better next time.”

No, I don’t need it, I'm fine! <<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

It was 1068, Year 1 of the Xining era. Emperor Zhao Xu had recently ascended the throne of the Song dynasty. The widely respected old-guard of civil officials, Ouyang Xiu, Han Qi, and Fu Bi, were in their twilight years. The unorthodox reformer Wang Anshi was full of vigor, wishing to reverse the tide of decline sweeping over the empire. The stubborn Sima Guang would rather leave imperial government than give up on proper orthodoxy. The literary Su Shi watched from the sidelines, unable to pick a side. ... more>>

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…

The sudden death of one’s older brother and his wife.... more>>

Amidst this man’s quiet and boring life that resembled a black-and-white movie, the overflowing energy of a six-year-old girl came out of nowhere.

The fearless Baek Tae-joon came to collapse without mercy.

[Could you become Rose’s home tutor until the end of this semester?]
This was what Tae-joon suggested to ‘Miss Minnie’, a kindergarten assistant teacher whom Rose clung to often.

[The basic salary for about 4 months is $100,000. Including a $50,000 contract basis and a $50,000 bonus at the end of June.]
And, by the way.​

‘I’m finally going crazy.’

The red cheeks, the fair and translucent skin, the cherry-like lips that seemed to be coated in sticky syrup, the feeling of her soft hands, and the strangely ticklish, whispery voice grazing his ears.

The image that popped into his mind without warning hardened his lower abdomen.

He was raving for Rose’s teacher, ‘Miss Minnie’, almost all the time.

Because of her sensitive adolescent complex and college trauma, Min-hee mastered the expertise of unrequited love.

“Will I never try s*x before I die? I wish there was someone who could help me practice how to seduce a man. Maybe I’ll just never have a proper relationship and die leaving only my kittens behind, hnng-”

“You have a cat?”

“No. Hik.”

Tae-joon agilely caught a gap and held onto it.

“Don’t cry. You can practice seducing a man using me.” <<less

After facing death and going back in time, the second marriage to her ex-husband was for the sole purpose of getting pregnant.... more>>

Her only hope in an unhappy marriage, the child she gave birth to with her cold hearted husband. Her first life, which was only focused on that child, ended at the hands of an unknown assailant.

'If I could go back in time, I wouldn't love him.'

Thus, in her second life, which she miraculously obtained, she chose to marry him with the sole intention of meeting her child again, unlike her previous life, which longed for love.

"Just stay married to me for a year."

In return, she would cooperate in his investigation on a secrets incident that happened over 10 years ago as he wished.

She thought they were just a married couple in name only, bound by a contract.

"There's no need to spend the first night together." She stated.

"But I want to."

He was acting different from her past life.

I thought I would quietly leave as soon as I had a child. But I couldn't help but say it when I saw his mistress in this life as well.

"That woman, she's the woman you love."

The answer to the words I spoke to prevent a repetition of the evil fate of my previous life was unexpected.

"Until this contract is over, you are my wife."

"..."

"I'm doing all of that only with you."

Seeing him reveal a creepy obsession for some reason, I pushed myself to gather my thoughts.

Don't forget, Blair.

He doesn't love you.

So in this life...

I'll leave you first. <<less

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

“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.

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.

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

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

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?

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?”

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.

She signed the contract and, as a mage, she followed him, the lord…
