"Can they really share the daughter of the goddess? You shall have them. With a spear and a sword."

If one must strive to be loved, then I will give up such trivial pursuit.... more>>

I will no longer try to kill myself.

* * *

Kalia Estelle, the cursed daughter of a count, had spent her entire life trying to be loved.

She had done everything to prove that she was different from her mad father, who killed their people and burned their land.

But all she achieved was the accusation of being the “devil’s daughter.”

The day before she came of age, Kalia made up her mind.

She would no longer seek cheap affection.

She wouldn’t sacrifice her soul for a fleeting love.

And if there was a next life, she wouldn’t seek love again.

As her consciousness faded and her breathing became labored, she suddenly found herself transported back five years to the past.

“I love you.”

I hesitated and backed away as Claude approached me.

But my back was against the wall, and before I knew it, he was standing right in front of me.

“Kalia.”

He peered through the small gap between his fingers that covered his face, carefully watching my reaction.

Despite his disheveled appearance, he was radiant at the moment.

He kneeled down and gently took my trembling right hand, making me feel as if this had all been a dream.

His lips touched the back of my dry hand.

“Just as you showed me the light and opened a new life for me, I want to do the same for you.”

Beneath his long, thick lashes, his eyes were filled with an unfamiliar emotion.

“You know why I live. Kalia, please let me love you.” <<less

Cursed, she could only survive by spending the night with the upstanding paladin and famed Holy Knight Helios Defert.... more>>

But there was a fatal flaw in the plan.

First, she doesn’t get along with him.

Second, he despises her.

Thirdly, she absolutely loathes him too.

Fourth, he is tr*sh.

Enya tried to frantically find another way, but he was extremely calm.

No, rather, he looked at her with eyes filled with seductive heat.

“It’s better to do it then have to suffer.”

“… … what?”

“Shall I kiss you first, Mage Tower Master?”

At that moment, only one thought crossed Enya’s mind:

That he has finally gone insane. <<less

My husband entered an arranged marriage with me against his will. And he hates me.... more>>

I just lived every single day as though I was dead, waiting for the day that we’d get divorced…

“The Duke… seems to have lost his memory.”

“What…?”

Then, one day, he suddenly lost his memories. To be more exact, only memories of me had been wiped clean from his mind.

And it seems like this amnesiac husband of mine somehow fell in love with me…

“My dear… I’m really, really happy that you’re my wife.”

Who is this… this puppy-like man…?

Isn’t he the same man who bares his teeth at me every time he sees me?

“Once you remember everything, you’re going to regret it all. You’re being so nice to me like this…”

“No, I won’t. Not even a little bit.”

Haa. Seriously… He talks to me so sweetly now, but this will definitely turn into a shameful past that he’d come to regret later on.

After he recovers his memories, I know for sure that my husband will finally push ahead with the divorce.

I should prepare for it in advance. <<less

Clo Heartfield is a feudal lord of a remote region.... more>>

He was born with the primary knowledge of "this world". Reincarnation, otome game, magic, academy, the future of this world. In other words, according to his memories, this was a world of a game from his previous life. However, he was reincarnated not as the main character, the villainess or the capture target, but rather as the son of a noble, who barely missed the chance to attend the academy with the protagonist due to their slight age difference and didn't even appear in the main game. Also, he didn't get any privileges that came with being a reincarnator. In addition, he made an enemy out of a person with high status at the academy and was demoted into being the feudal lord of a remote region.

Just as he had changed his way of looking at his life, considering it as a second chance to live a different life unrealted to the game, his marriage was suddenly decided. And his partner was Violet Valentine, the woman who fulfilled the role of a villainess in this world.

This is the story of two people living a laid-back life while misunderstanding each other, falling in love and occasionally going crazy. <<less

The first day Song Yan transferred to his new school, he met his new roommate being blocked by gangsters in an alley asking to pay up a debt.... more>>

The stick in the new roommate’s hands fell, and the little gangster fled in defeat, but didn’t forget to yell in anger while running:

“Look at your little white face, if you find a wealthy woman and get rich, how can you still be afraid to pay up!”

The new roommate looked on in approval, and seemed to have realized the light: “Makes sense.”

Song Yan: “......” What kind of nonsense.

So to block his new roommate from going astray, Song Yan began the road to ruin of targeted poverty alleviation for pure and beautiful male high school students.

No money to buy dinner, so he treated him. No money for book expenses, so he sponsored it. No money for a scarf, so he took advantage of the buy one get one promotion from the store in front of the school to send him a scarf.

The eldest young master Song who already had his expenses cut off by his family had no choice but to learn to be thrifty and hardworking.

Later, his dad brought him to attend a dinner banquet: “Come, Xiao Yan, let me introduce you to grandpa Xia’s grandson, Xia Zhiye.”

Song Yan looked at the boy in front of him wearing a custom-made suit, with the worn out scarf that he dredged out from the buy one get one promotion in front of the school wrapped around his neck, and expressionlessly raised up a knife.

That night, in some male high school’s dorm room came the yell of domestic violence: “f*ck off, don’t pretend to be poor with me!”

However the target of the domestic violence patiently coaxed him: “I didn’t pretend to be poor, I’m really poor. But later on I’ll be very rich, and I’ll even give it to my boyfriend to manage, so how about you consider it again?” <<less

It was by pure chance that Wen Yifan became housemates with Sang Yan, whom she had rejected during high school.... more>>

Normally, they lived their lives separately, as if they were two strangers living under the same roof.

But the peace was disrupted one morning.

The night before, Wen Yifan was still sleeping in her room, but she found herself waking in Sang Yan’s bed the next day.

Aware that she sleepwalked from time to time, Wen Yifan could only apologize and put it away as her fault. However, when the situation repeated again and again, she tried to suggest locking his door before he heads to sleep...

Sang Yan dismissed the idea, saying, “You’d just pick the lock.”

Wen Yifan tried her best to keep her composure. “Why in the world would I be able to do that?”

“Well…” Sang Yan lifted his eyes and drawled, “is there anything you wouldn’t do to climb onto my bed?”

After an awkward pause, Wen Yifan smiled. “OK, then go ahead and try.”

Now that caught Sang Yan by surprise. <<less

She wouldn't get into the car that came to pick her up, and wouldn't let go of my hand.

“Sob... If we can meet again... will you... make me your wife...?”

“Ah, of course.”

It seems that the me back then thought of it as nothing more than a casual promise.

Xu ChengYan had been together with the eldest young master of the He family for five years, always on call and he yielded to everything. Even though He Yang always treated him with a cold face, Xu ChengYan was willing, thinking that as long as he was the most special one to He Yang, one day he would be able to melt the iceberg.... more>>

Until one day, He Yang’s white moonlight returned to China.

Xu ChengYan saw with his own eyes that the man who was always cold and indifferent in front of him was extremely gentle in front of the white moonlight. It was also at this time that Xu ChengYan realized that he was just a substitute. Icebergs will melt, but the person who melted this iceberg was not him. The exhausted Xu ChengYan finally woke up. He chose to let go, packed his luggage and left by himself.

And when He Yang came back and saw the empty apartment, he just smiled and made a bet with the group of good-for-nothing friends: within five days, Xu ChengYan will come back.

On the first day, Xu ChengYan did not come back. The next day, Xu ChengYan still didn’t come back.

On the fifth day, Xu ChengYan finally returned. It was just that what was waiting for He Yang was Xu ChengYan’s icy cold corpse, which could no longer be recovered.

Three years later, He Yang was still the aloof and indifferent eldest young master of the He family.

At a banquet, He Yang suddenly saw a familiar figure. He Yang lost his self-control, rushed forward like a madman, and stood in front of the black-haired young man.

“Yanyan.”

The eldest young master of the He family, who had always been indifferent, was holding the young man’s hand tightly at this time, his eyes were slightly red.

“Go back with me, okay?”

The dazzling black-haired youth just smiled and moved the man’s hand away.

Height 183, weight 72, CSAT score 485, ability 0.

Those were the familiar, adequate, and ordinary numbers that described myself, now twenty years old.

I was accepted into a university well above my grade level as an extra. However, when I went to the bank to pay my tuition, I met a man who called me an ability user. An ability user who was immune to abilities. I scored a flat 0% in every category of the ability test, can’t even bend a spoon, and possess no combat skills whatsoever, though?

I didn’t know what use my ability would be in the military, but I became affiliated with the ability user group, S.E. Jung Haekyung, the one who dragged me into S.E., was the only one who reached out their hand to me, someone who was suddenly dragged to an unfamiliar place and treated unfairly.

Yu He was a famous beautiful fool among the rich and powerful, relying on his good background to live a life of ease and make a living without working. Unfortunately, he was a fake young master, and when the real young master returned to the Yu family, he was not only kicked out by his foster parents but also had to serve a big shot with special interests.... more>>

Yu He shrugged and said, “Whatever.”

In a secluded and eerie castle, the big shot, dressed in a sharp suit and with a handsome and gloomy face, sat in a wheelchair, looking coldly at Yu He with hidden sharpness that was intimidating.

After one night passed…

Yu He: You know, I’ve been here for a while knowing that the big shot’s special hobby is to be a bottom.

From that day on, Yu He became the golden crane that the big shot kept in the castle.

When the real young master came crying to “retrieve” Yu He, he discovered that Yu He was actually living in the private residence of Fu Yunzheng, the head of a top-notch wealthy family.

Even the head of the Yu family couldn’t curry favour with the terrifying presence of Fu Yunzheng, who could make the entire capital world tremble with a frown. It was rumoured that he was capricious and cruel, and after being disabled in a car accident, he became even more sinister and terrifying. His injured leg was his sore spot, and anyone who dared to look at it a little longer would suffer a catastrophe.

But the true young master saw something different. In the depths of the garden, he saw Yu He sitting on Fu Yunzheng’s lap, kissing him while squeezed into his wheelchair.

The fact that Fu Yunzheng was supporting Yu He spread like wildfire, and everyone criticised Yu He for being shameless and superficial. Yu He took it as a compliment and used the attention to make money through live-streaming.

At first, the live-streaming room was full of insults, but when the haters saw the luxurious and dazzling mansion, luxury cars, branded watches, and jewellery, they began to waver. After seeing dozens of servants bowing to Yu He in unison, the haters exclaimed, “I only hate myself for being ugly.”

Later on, all the wealthy and influential people who wanted to get in good with Fu Yunzheng began flooding into Yu He’s live streaming room, frantically showering him with gifts and asking him to pass along a message.

Yu He made an incredible comeback, reaching new heights!

Fu Yunzheng: Don’t stare at your broken live stream all day, look at me.

Yu He: You’re the best thing to look at.

Everyone was waiting for Fu Yunzheng to get tired of playing with Yu He and dump him, but they waited and waited until the engagement banquet of Yu He and Fu Yunzheng.

At the engagement banquet, the true young master’s lover sneered at Yu He, “Yu He, how can serving others with your body last long? People will get tired of it.”

Fu Yunzheng replied, “You better pray that little He won’t get tired of me. If little He doesn’t love me anymore, your family will go bankrupt.”

The people who once looked down on Yu He: !!! Yu He, please love him for a long time, we’ll kowtow to you!!! <<less
