For the sake of survival, I kissed the protagonist and we became partners.
But I just can’t believe that the ‘kind’ protagonist in the original novel was all an act!... more>>

“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

Yu Le transmigrated into a male lead of a danmei novel. This male lead was particularly pe*verted and had a total of three personalities.... more>>

The main personality is gentle and kind, silently admiring his childhood sweetheart, a genius violinist, from afar. Eventually, he sacrificed himself for love.

The second personality is vicious and crazy; in order to defeat the main personality and gain control over the body, he secretly colluded with the CEO gong, courting death in all kinds of ways.

The third personality is a little sister, a cute idiot who chased stars all day long.

In the end, this supporting male lead turned into a fool and was admitted to a mental hospital.

After finding himself in his body, Yu Le’s back turned cold: …Fortunately, I am the only one in my body now.

In order to avoid his tragic fate, he gave up on the little shou from the very beginning and worked hard to become the best security guard on the protagonist’s road of love.

In order to match the leads, he tried to find Mr. CEO at the concert: “May I ask if you know a man with a straight nose, a big adam’s apple, good looks, and who is capable at first glance?”

The man next to him frowned: “Little idiot, do you think my nose is straight enough? Is my adam’s apple big enough? Am I capable enough?”

Yu Le was taken aback: “I’m sorry Mr. CEO, I was taking liberties.”

In order to make up for his mistake, he pretended to send flowers to the little shou in the name of Mr. CEO, but he was discovered by accident.

Little shou was shocked: “A Yu, I didn’t expect you to love me so much?!”

Yu Le: “No, let me explain….”

In order to prevent the third lead, a green tea celebrity, from sneaking in, he dug out his female attire and mixed into the crazy fan circle. Following his schedule with a camera every day, he closely monitored his movements.

In a certain interview, the big star said with a smile: “I have a male fan who must be present at every event. He is proficient in photography and make-up. Although he likes women’s clothing and often resorts to stalking me, his pe*vertedness is still very cute.”

Yu Le: “...???”

Realising that something was going wrong, he immediately packed up his things to run away.

But things soon came to light.

The three men had turbulent emotions and dark faces as they backed him into a corner.

The little shou’s face was gloomy: “A Yu, why are you doing this?”

The CEO’s eyes were dark: “What is your purpose in approaching me?”

The big star had a copy, paste fake smile: “Which one of us do you like?”

Yu Le: “... I’m sorry if I was ever misleading, but I actually don’t like any of you.”

The faces of the three changed drastically: “No, you must like us!”

“Pick one of us right now! You have to choose!”

Then it’s best to stay out of the little shou’s way; he can only reluctantly point to the green tea star: “Then…I pick you?”

He immediately showed a victorious smile and bent down to kiss his hand: “I am honoured.”

Later.

Big star: “A Yu, you and I are a perfect match!”

Yu Le was shocked: “How is this possible? You’re so abnormal!”

The big star was surprised: “You don’t actually think that you are a normal person, do you?”

Yu Le: “Aren’t I?”

He stated the facts as he reasoned: “A Yu, you don’t shy away from wearing women’s clothes, you are an extremely picky eater but insist on eating everything in front of others, and you even have the mental capabilities to lead on three men to love you, but you still think you are a normal person…Look, you are a pe*vert.”

He smiled: “I’m a green tea, aren’t we made for each other?”

The little pe*verted heartthrob is attacked by the big green tea. <<less

After transmigrating into a danmei novel, Xue Lan became a part of the protagonists’ game team: a cannon fodder who plotted against the lead gong1 and was eventually kicked out of the team.... more>>

Initially, he only wanted to play and watch people be in a love-hate relationship as they teamed up. Unexpectedly, one day, he was mistaken for a woman who entered the club dressed as a man.
A sudden change took place—

Teammate A: Lan Lan, these snacks are all for you.
Teammate B: Lan Lan, let me know if you need any materials.
Fans ABCD: Lan Lan, you’re our baby and our pride! We’re cheering for you!

Lead gong Wen Yan threw him the materials he’d farmed for n-long time: Stay close, don’t think you’ll be treated differently just because you’re a girl.

Xue Lan: …I’m really a man.

Xue Lan passed the garden carrying snacks and gifts with gloom, but then saw the lead shou2 Duan Wenzheng sitting by himself under a tree.

Duan Wenzheng was a fierce teammate who rivaled Wen Yan in the rankings all year round. He just lost a solo3 practice match and seemed to be dejected.

Thinking he would soon become the shou, Xue Lan stuffed all the snacks in his hands.

Xue Lan with a sparkling gaze: Don’t be sad, we all lose and win in competitions. Next time you can tell me anything you’re upset about!

Duan Wenzheng who was pondering over life problems, what to eat for lunch, and didn’t properly play the practice match: ?

He raised his head to see Xue Lan’s sparkling eyes and faintly smiled. “Okay.”

Later—
Xue Lan was forced to come out of the closet after his identity was exposed. Everyone burst into an uproar. The media interviewed the teammates about their views on this.

“Very surprised.” The interview spiraled out of control after Duan Wenzheng casually took the microphone: “This is the second revelation that has left me shocked.”

The media hastened to dig into the details: So, the first is?
Duan Wenzheng: The partner of his coming out—is me.

All netizens: ????? <<less

I had been abroad to do medical volunteer work, when I was swept up in a civil war. I was killed by a rebel soldier, while taking a bullet for a patient. But when I finally woke up, I had become a child?!?... more>>

And in front of me stood a destroyed carriage and a group of oddly dressed people, who were unconscious!

“It’s just like a Murim world.”

As I hurry to perform first aid in an attempt to save even one person, I realize that this world is that of [The Supreme Demon King], a Wuxia novel I’ve enjoyed reading.

After meeting the rescue team of the ‘Three Great Doctors’, I found out that one of the person I saved was the protagonist of this novel, the future Demon King ‘Yeo Haryun’!

“Hey, since I’m indebted to you for saving me, call me ‘hyung’.”

For saving his life, I become sworn brothers with the future Demon King, and the White Dragon Godly Doctor, one of the most knowledgeable people around, recognized my potential and took me in as his disciple. This is the story of how I became the greatest physician in Gangho! <<less

But if the prince is gay, what the hell do I do?

In the midst of constant game overs and seemingly endless regressions, the woman who had become a knight stepped into her 6th round.

“Dongsaeng, stay still.”

Zhu Ying, I go my own way, fearless.... more>>

Upon closer examination, she was just a little swindler who wanted to live a good life when she was young.

Born into a poor family of swindlers, Zhu Ying’s start was in hard mode. In order to prevent her biological daughter from being drowned, her own mother, Zhang Xiangu, had to lie and say she had given birth to a son. As outsiders in the village, the Zhu family faced difficulties. Unfortunately, Zhu’s swindler father got involved in a lawsuit, and they encountered a widow from the same village who wanted to marry Zhu to protect herself.

The world always has those protagonist-like individuals—escaping from horror games, bearing the responsibility to save the world from monsters alongside their companions. Due to such and such reasons, they have no choice but to live in ordinary citizens’ homes, outwardly portraying themselves as typical high school students while secretly battling monsters and leveling up. ... more>>

And the ordinary citizens are ordinary but kind, always tolerant of the protagonist’s late returns, providing a gentle sanctuary.

Jiang Yujin, however, is the antithesis of that ordinary citizen. Running a struggling business, living an unkempt life, the protagonist attends school by day, fights monsters after school, and even returns home to do his laundry and cook for Jiang Yujin.

Yet even a laid-back person needs to turn things around. Despite financial deficits, Jiang Yujin briefly stands tall.

While the protagonist battles monsters, he helps someone find their lost cat. While the protagonist tirelessly protects the school from monsters, Jiang Yujin is involved in romantic escapades with the Special Investigation Unit for Strange Species (?!). While the protagonist hunts for clues behind the scenes, Jiang Yujin, with a small skirt in hand, pretends to be a rich lady in an online romance scam.

When the protagonist and allies face a major monster, Jiang Yujin… well, he stays up all night playing mahjong and ends up lying dead drunk at his doorstep.

When the protagonist finds themselves in a precarious situation…

The dead lying at the doorstep vanished.

——

Beside the massive monster’s corpse, in front of the protagonist’s group, a man with snow-white hair blowing backward, holding a blade stained with threads of blood.

Amidst the silence, Jiang Yujin, the ordinary citizen, lowers his eyes, bending slowly with the blade’s support:

“Urgh—”

Surely shouldn’t have had those two drinks after playing mahjong.

Protagonist’s group: “…”

Xu Tonggui, captain of the Special Investigation Unit, known as the living Yama in everyone’s eyes, a workaholic whose life revolves only around his job. Everyone thought he would remain a lifelong bachelor. Even the members of the Special Investigation Unit believed so.

Until one day, they saw their captain pinning down someone whose hair was so disheveled it covered their face, gritting his teeth as he asked in a low voice, “Drinking again?”

The hair covering half the face was lifted by a large palm, and the person pinned down on the car glanced sideways—

That day, the members of the Special Investigation Unit understood two things:

Never underestimate someone who seems unkempt.

The captain has a damn good eye.

When I noticed, I was surrounded by a bunch of people wearing kimonos. When I looked into the river water, what was there was a young child… Eh, it’s me!?... more>>

The place where I washed ashore was a gaudy neighborhood, Yoshiwara. Huh? But it looks like the ones behind the lattice are men.

The ones who picked up the still young me from that strange place was an old man from a brothel called the『Amazuki Brothel』.

The place I was brought to was a men filled red light district. It seems that over here, men who had no choice but to become prostit**es were called Yuudan (male courtesan). Then I was given the name Nogiku and made to hide from the female customers and provide assistance.

For some reason I was also given courtesan training, but I’m not male!! I don’t want to learn how to seduce women!!

However, when I became 16 I looked at the handsome men who’d grown up with me as comrades and realized. This was the world of『Seeing a Dream Male Courtesan District ～A night spent together～』. I couldn’t even recall about myself but for some reason I remembered that I had played that game.

Nogiku was that otome game’s villain character. She got in the way of the protagonist’s love who sought to get closer to the men, and in the end she would even kill, she was a woman who wasn’t choosey of her methods. Because she was that type of woman she was given hellish punishment by the protagonist and co, but…

“I heard that Oscar only has a daughter.”

Gazing straight into his cold, relentless eyes, she made up her mind.

“My sister died. Eight years ago.”

I will never, ever play into your hands again.

Aiden quietly reached out his hand, observing her face full of wounds. Then, he gently caressed her recent injury on her palm.

In that state, he couldn’t take his eyes off Asralda, seemingly tense for a long while.

Three days ago, Astralda’s voice echoed in his ears and still lingered in his mind.

"A cold and indifferent demeanor to the outside, soft and cute deep affection on the inside—a mute and tender submissive (Yan Lan). ... more>>

In the early stages, focused only on work; in the later stages, the heart is filled only with Xie Yun Zhi’s gentle dominance.

Xie Yun Zhi has a deaf and mute nephew whose art teacher is also a mute named Yan Lan. Yan Lan possesses extraordinary artistic talent and spends two days a week teaching Xie Yun Zhi's nephew at the Xie family.

During the first class with this teacher, Xie Yun Zhi had only seen Yan Lan once. The impression was of a cold beauty, indifferent to everyone.

One night, Xie Yun Zhi returned home drunk, lying on the sofa with a muddled mind due to the effects of alcohol. He vaguely saw Yan Lan's face, which was unlike the indifferent demeanor in his memory; instead, it appeared extremely gentle. The actions of helping him remove his tie were so gentle that they caused his heart to tremble.

Xie Yun Zhi treated this as just a dream, without any hesitation, he held Yan Lan's hand, pulling him into his embrace...

After one night, Xie Yun Zhi looked regretful, "I can give you anything you want as compensation."

Yan Lan gestured in sign language: "I only want you."

System: console him, ease him, and make him speak again.

In the third world, Lin Zhi transmigrated into the spoiled lover of a powerful figure assumed to be impotent due to coldness.

System: Make him feel the beauty of life. There is no need to force the coldness.

Lin Zhi: I’m very professional.

Claude stared silently at the sleeping Canillian. His gold lashes created a soft shadow on a white face. No matter how much he despised outdoor activities, he was still too white and thin. No trace of puberty was evident on him, and above all, his scent was different from the usual smell of men’s sweat. Was it the scent of lavender blooming all over the Marquis’s work or the scent of poppies blooming in the river?

Canillian's soft cheeks brushed the tip of his nose, and instinctively, he bowed his head as if to savor the scent more. Canillian’s shallow breaths tickled his temple. His pulse began to race. Claude leaned further without thought. He wanted to enjoy it more. No, he really wanted to taste it. He was curious about what he’d taste if his tongue were to graze his skin.

I must be crazy… or going crazy, he thought. Claude sighed. He stared at Canillian once more, and heat started to invade his entire body, captivated by Canillian's lips which looked like it was glazed with honey.

Perhaps it was the hot atmosphere that caused such reaction from him, he reasoned out. If not, by no means… he wouldn’t have thought of wanting to kiss this guy. <<less
