To Ju-eul, who’s slower than everyone else, this world is far too fast. It’s rough and savage.... more>>

She chose marriage like grabbing onto a dangling rope, searching for a cozy roof to shelter under.

And then, suddenly, Shim San-hyeong appeared in Ju-eul’s life—a life always lived faithfully in the present.

“Ah, I told you. My balls shake like hell whenever I see you. Ah.”

A man with beast-like words and behavior, bearing a suspiciously shaped g***tal.

Before she realizes it, Ju-eul gets caught up in a conspiracy, and she keeps getting entangled with this man who feels like a sin just by being close.

A man like the blazing sun in mid-summer.

A man like the Siberian cold in mid-winter.

In short, a man born to sprinkle salt on wounds.

“Ah, hello?”

– Yes. This is your husband.

“Huh, what?”

– So why did you call me?

“Ah… I just, kinda… wanted to see you a little.”

– Just a little? Not like, a f**king whole lot?

An incomprehensible man, but he keeps looking at her with heated eyes and getting closer.

“We’re f**king husband and wife on paper. Officially recognized by the state, right? What was it, that hundred-f**king-years vow or whatever.”

Let’s do that now—together. <<less

“Didn’t they say he spent six years in prison?”

Scott exhaled a cloud of cigarette smoke, lost in sordid, filthy imaginings about the new gardener.

“I’d bet anything his ass is completely wrecked by now.”

⋆⋆⋆

Ian Sherman, a man branded a criminal by an irreversible incident.

The only chance left to him was a position as gardener for the historic Blade family, a post that would take him to England.

Desperate to begin a new life, Ian struggles to hold himself together. It is then that Mia Blade, the Marquis’s only daughter, approaches him.

But there’s one more who’s taken notice of Ian. Scott Blade, Mia’s fraternal twin brother, returned home for the holidays after finishing a term at the Air Force Academy.

The bored twins strike a wager, whoever manages to claim Ian first will be the future heir to the Marquisate.

However, as time passes, Scott finds himself falling deeper and deeper for the gardener who continues to reject him, what began as amusement steadily warps into obsessive desire.

Meanwhile, Ian, who wants nothing more than an ordinary life, begins to get anxious as his entanglement with Scott grows ever more complicated…

Gong: Scott Blake, 25 years old.

Born in Temerson, England, he was born in the privileged upper class. He possesses dazzling blond hair and speaks with a strong posh accent.

As the eldest son of Northgale Hall, a mansion where wealth has been enjoyed for generations, he is set to succeed his father as the 9th Marquis of Temerson.

Though he has everything, a unchangeable fate molded him into an incomplete gentleman. He is arrogant, sometimes debauched, and his sole pleasure is flying his private plane alone.

Soo: Ian Sherman, 25 years old.

Born in Arizona, USA, he has black hair. He is a heteros*xual with a strikingly handsome appearance.

I entered a novel and possessed a member of the famous crime organization 'Thesauros', which had been a thorn in the side of everyone in this world.... more>>

This organization met a brutal end in the latter half of the novel by the protagonist’s hand.

How was I meant to die? I was the first supporting character killed after provoking the protagonist's confidant who infiltrated Thesauros.

And now, finally!

"I am Spinel, joining Thesauros as of today."

The protagonist's confidant has infiltrated Thesauros as a spy.

My death is predetermined if I stay here. But this isn’t the kind of place where I can just throw down a resignation letter and leave saying, 'I resign.'

...Since it has come to this, there’s only one thing I can do.

I have to protect our new members from the bothersome seniors, and take care of them with all my heart. I have no choice but to carve my own path by treating them with the utmost respect!

One day, the newcomer's identity was discovered by the members.

I worked hard to avoid their eyes and managed to get him out alive.

But why....

"I’m here to pick you up, Zuli."

"...Spinel?"

"I’ll never leave you alone in this hell again. From now on, we’ll be together for the rest of our lives."

Uh... Um... All I wanted was for you to spare my life, but you want me to be with you for the rest of my life? I somehow managed to seduce you so well. <<less

The holographic game “Crimson Earth,” blending cyberpunk with Cthulhu elements, was about to be released.... more>>

Kui Xin’s luck seemed to have taken a turn for the better when she was selected as a closed beta tester for “Crimson Earth.”

However, events spiraled rapidly into the bizarre. She realized that instead of playing a mere holographic game, she had actually been transported to a parallel world that truly exists.

People struggled to survive amidst forests of steel and iron, while authorities raised their glasses in shared revelry under the glow of neon lights.

Consortiums controlled the economic lifelines, while super-intelligent AI monitored every individual’s actions closely.

Extraordinary beings, cyborgs, secret cults, and distortions in humans took center stage in this era…

Upon logging into the game, Kui Xin had an ominous feeling that something significant was about to unfold.

Question: What should you do if you discover your character in the game is a top-priority fugitive from the Federation, currently working undercover within the official Investigation Department?

Answer: The most dangerous place can also be the safest. Act out a scenario where you’re chasing yourself, then seize an opportunity to fake your death and escape.

---------------

Name: Kui Xin

Identity: An undercover agent sent by a rebel organization to infiltrate the Federation's Investigation Department.

Objective: Survive and strive to level up.

After reading the objective, Kui Xin felt it was insufficient.

Being a double-crosser seemed like a dead-end role; merely surviving and focusing on leveling up wasn't thrilling enough for her. She wanted to pull off something grand.

For instance, taking out the boss and usurping their position sounded quite satisfying.

Childhood, upbringing, family background, social relations, traumatic experiences…... more>>

We keep reviewing and seeking out the motives of criminals, exploring the subtlest emotions driving them. It’s not to put ourselves in their shoes and sympathize, or even forgive them; it’s not to find some reasons to exculpate their crimes; it’s not to kneel down before the so-called “complexity of human nature”; nor to introspect social conflicts, much less to alienate ourselves into monsters.

We just want to have a fair trial – for ourselves and for those who still have hope for the world. <<less

A live human sculpture appears at a city art exhibition, causing a national uproar. The case is heinous and complex, prompting international criminal investigator Xu Changying to return to his homeland to collaborate with local police after an eight-year absence.... more>>

The moment he sets foot on the familiar yet long-unseen soil, memories of old faces and past events come flooding back. Xu Changying thought his heart had turned to stone, but the sight of that familiar yet distant face leaves him uncontrollably shaken and bewildered.

In the dissection room, the man removes his mask and greets him as if meeting for the first time: “Hello, I’m Xia Qing.”

Over the past eight years, Xu Changying has become the only beta agent in the AGB organization, traveling to countless corners of the world. He can no longer recall whether it was in Colombia, North Africa, or a remote town in Southeast Asia, but during a brief respite from a mission, the beta agent caught a glimpse of that cold and dignified face on an old, blurry television screen—Xia Qing, the heir to a top-tier domestic biotech group, an exceptionally gifted alpha, and a globally renowned life scientist who led his team to overcome another major academic hurdle.

The indifferent face on the old screen overlapped with the memory of a young man whose eyes always held a warm smile. Xu Changying looked away, flicked away his cigarette butt, and walked into the dust left by the recent gunfight.

Reunited once more, he is an international investigator, and he is the consulting expert, brought together again by a bizarre case.

Xu Changying gazes with a smile at that almost unchanged yet unfamiliar face—a result of retrograde amnesia—and extends his hand:

“Nice to meet you. I’m Xu Changying.”

Also known as Destined to Love You (ABO Edition), Help! My Ex Forgot Me But Still Loves Me Madly

Heavy on plot, with a focus on suspense and detective work, alternating between brain-burning and lighthearted moments.

Non-traditional ABO story, with many private settings in the ABO world. The protagonist was once an alpha but is now and will remain a beta.

Beautiful alpha protagonist, cool beta protagonist.

White moonlight + amnesia + alpha-to-beta = super melodramatic.

The protagonist is very beta, slightly Mary Sue.

Really, really, ridiculously exaggerated melodrama.

This story has many twists and turns, so readers should be prepared for surprises and need a little patience and mental readiness.

Anonymous: “Transmigrating into a movie you’ve never seen before.”

[A rose in the darkness will eventually bloom at dawn~]

In her past life, Liu Yutong was a lawyer. After being reborn, she was mistakenly identified as the daughter of a mafia boss.

Her subordinates were all ex-cons and street thugs, dead set on making it big in the underworld.

To avoid being dragged into their shady dealings and getting swept up in a crime crackdown, she resolved to lead them onto the straight and narrow—educating them on the law and guiding them toward the light.

In the end, she succeeded, molding them into law-abiding, legally savvy members of society.

But something still felt... off.

Years later, at the company’s annual meeting.

Liu Yutong looked out at the sea of employees in black suits, standing like a mafia entourage, all bowing respectfully and chanting, "Young Miss!"

Her heart skipped a beat.

Please refrain from associating real actors with the characters since the author does not have specific visual images while writing; they are simply drawn to the background setup.

The story is expected to be relatively short and it will have a happy ending. <<less

The investigation of a severed limbs case was stalled. Lu Junchi, captain of the Major Crimes Unit, went to the Chinese police academy to ask for advice. Captain Lu originally thought he would get the advice of a respected old professor. Unexpectedly, he met the sick and weak beauty, Su Hui, who gave him some advice.... more>>

Before the reasoning, Lu Junchi belatedly wondered if this Beauty Su was just a pretty face. After the actual evidence, Lu Junchi belatedly thought that this Beauty Su wasn’t a pretty face, he was the one who was silly and foolish.

Lu Junchi was grateful for Su Hui’s help in this case. He appreciated Su Hui’s talent but was afraid that the weak and sick Su Hui wouldn’t be able to live a convenient life. Therefore, he became a Daddy Long Legs uncle and sent warmth to Su Hui day and night. He sent and sent…

Later, he took the big beauty home.

Captain Lu didn’t know that this crippled beauty Su Hui, who had extremely poor eyesight, was deaf in one ear and could run 200 meters in three minutes, would turn out to be a criminal psychology profiling expert who scared criminals. He didn’t know that Su Hui had multiple identities or that he was an old acquaintance…

Su Hui was proficient in criminal psychology portraits and had extremely meticulous reasoning ability. He went deep into the hearts of the criminals to reveal their secrets. He had the courage to go into extreme danger and walked through a hail of bullets with no fear. His heart was like a rock as he fought against evil, like a reed that couldn’t be defeated. He looked so weak while actually being so tough.

No one knew that his world was actually a foggy mess on the verge of collapse. The surrounding liveliness was like a silent movie to him. This was until he met the person who helped him put everything together, retrieving his lost memories and finding the truth of everything to put him back on the road of life.

Su Hui: Do you know what ‘hope’ is in my dictionary?

Lu Junchi: ?

Su Hui: It is you. <<less
