Calliope Verdi’s life was perfect.... more>>

At least, that was the case until her grandfather set a ridiculous condition that she had to fulfill in order to inherit the family title.

‘If I don’t get married within a year, I will lose my position?!’

[Requirements for a husband: outstanding abilities, skilled in both arts and combat, sturdy physique, handsome enough to be considered a national treasure]

Why were the conditions so detailed?

But to make matters worse, the person who was arranged to be in this marriage that seemingly fulfilled the requirements-

“It’s good to see you again.”

The madman of the royal family. The handsome troublemaker, the 7th prince.

On the day of the graduation ceremony, he had stepped on her.

All while smiling, his golden eyes squinting slightly.

Damn it.

Since it turned out like this,

Let’s become the couple of the century.

Ming Ruixi is a spoiled little lady, blessed with both princess syndrome and princess luck. She is arrogant, disdainful, and rarely looks at people with respect. However, she has a unique fondness for the sound of bells jingling around her ankles.... more>>

Yu Xian, on the other hand, is an extremely poor orphan who is quiet and reserved. She is very sensitive to sounds. Thanks to a sponsor's recommendation, she can audit the art teacher's oil painting class. However, she can't afford paints and relies on the money she earns by helping Ming Ruixi carry her bag and buy milk tea to buy paints. Those days were incredibly painful for her.

After graduation, Yu Xian escapes from the arrogant princess and the bells that almost drove her to death. She opens a small inn near a town in Jiangnan.

One month after opening, she meets someone she could never have expected in her life.

The once haughty little lady, now in a distress and defeated state, knocks on her door. She claims to be a fake heiress; the real heiress was taken back by the Ming family. Now, she has no way out and asks if she can stay for a while.

Yu Xian scrutinizes her petite figure and the bells still hanging on her ankles and chuckles ambiguously.

"Sure, but there's a condition."

On a rainy night, Yu Xian shakes the bell in her hand. After a while, the former arrogant princess pushes open the door and walks in barefoot, putting down all her pride, and sits on her lap...

Three years ago, “Stairway to Heaven” suddenly emerged, and batch after batch of people were drawn into the escape game and forced into a live broadcast, enduring the arbitrary manipulation and heinous criticism of the audience.... more>>

Yu Qing had soft long hair, a simple appearance, and big watery eyes. Facing the old woman ghost who grinned in front of him and asked him to enter the house, he nodded obediently: “Okay.”

Audience: […brainless, the host will die in the next second. He’s going to be poisoned to death by the old woman ghost.]

The number of people in the live broadcast dropped sharply, and then, poof –

Yu Qing pressed the old woman ghost’s head into the dinner plate and asked with a smile: “Do you want to watch a ghost mukbang?”

Audience: [???]

Yu Qing: “I work for everyone’s enjoyment and broadcast something different.”

Audience: [!!!]

Since then, things became strange.

System: [Host Yu Qing killed the NPC, violated the rules, and the health value returned to zero!]

The audience rewarded him life points crazily.

[My wife is right, there must be something wrong with the rules!]
[The system want him to die on the third broadcast, but I want him to live forever!]
Other hosts: “But our audience is not like this!!!”

Then, Yu Qing effortlessly survived. The points increased, and the clearance operations became easier for him, but…

What did the audience want to see?

Audience: [Baby, hug the BOSS and kiss him until he is stunned!] <<less

“What do you think would happen if we were to have a child, My Queen?”... more>>

The king asked, looking at his queen after an unexpected question.

“You claimed I was infertile. Is that truly possible?”

“…I’m just saying if it were to happen.”

“Such a thing will probably never happen.”

He chuckled, thinking of the tea he drank every day.

“Do you think I would allow the blood of a mere barbarian to inherit my throne?”

Gazing into the king’s icy eyes, she realized he was no longer the king who once cherished her. The child growing within her would never be embraced. Naturally, her value to him would diminish once she became pregnant.

“…Indeed, it is inconceivable.”

And so, she saw no reason to remain by his side any longer. <<less

This is a guidebook for a love simulation game set in a virtual reality called the Second World.... more>>

The only player invited to that place is Seo Jia.

In order to fulfill her contract with the game company, she must clear all the endings and write a guidebook.

Unfortunately, she’s an expert in nothing but bad endings. And to top it off, the setting is in the ancient Hittite kingdom.

Can Jia clear all the endings and complete the guidebook?

[Excerpt from the Main Story]

“Yes, this game has no happy endings.”

As if he could read Jia’s mind, Tae-eul quickly explained.

“If you’re lucky, you’ll get a Merry Bad Ending or just a Bad Ending.”

“Then what is the goal of the player…?”

“The Merry Bad Ending.”

The sound of a bell ringing echoed in the meeting room.

Merry Bad Ending? Isn’t it a miserable ending where only the game characters are happy while the player suffers mentally?

“Wait, what exactly is a Merry Bad Ending…?”

“It’s exactly what you’re thinking. It’s an ending where the game characters become obsessed with the player, imprison and monitor them, with no dreams, hopes, or future. So, it’s an unhappy ending for ordinary players. But of course, for the targeted players, it will be an extremely happy ending.”

Jia couldn’t say a word. It felt like someone had given her the game she had always dreamed of. <<less

A research genius, indifferent mad dog gong and a highly influential and stunning beauty shou... more>>

At his older brother’s funeral, Xie Hou encountered the male “widow.”

On a silent, rainy night, Shen Cizhu was surrounded by a group of dignitaries and led into the cemetery. He stopped in front of Xie Hou, lifting his umbrella, revealing the green eyes deeply etched in Xie Hou’s memory.

It seemed like he had been crying, and his striking beauty had become fragile as a result.

“Condolences,” Xie Hou said in a soft voice.

“Thank you,” Shen Cizhu replied hoarsely.

At the funeral, they pretended not to know each other, as if the night of their reckless passion had never happened.

After the crowd dispersed, the cemetery was cold.

Xie Hou looked down at Shen Cizhu, who was still kneeling in front of the tombstone. He leaned over, holding Shen Cizhu’s chin to make him look up. “Ge ge is gone. What will you do now?”

Shen Cizhu suddenly looked up.

“In that case,” Xie Hou, with an appearance of purity and coldness, murmured like an adulterer, “please let me replace Ge ge and inherit you.”

Shen Cizhu was adored by everyone.

In the eyes of others, Shen Cizhu was a noble son from a top-tier family, appearing compassionate and gentle, like the most sacred apple in the Garden of Eden.

But it was all a façade, and only Xie Hou knew his true nature.

The real Shen Cizhu had a destructive personality. He was gorgeous, arrogant, and greedy, harboring a permanent desire for control and possession over others. He was the most cunning and venomous snake in the Garden of Eden.

A venomous snake would never see itself as cruel; it would only follow its predatory instincts to ensnare its prey with a seductive whisper, and in an instant, its fangs would pierce the prey’s throat.

This predatory game was dangerous and rewarding for Xie Hou.

“My dear, it was clearly me who dragged you into hell, so why do you see me as your savior?”

Hormones can trigger the human instinct to seek a partner, but will your genes accept your partner?

Xie Hou had been conducting this research all along.

However, when everything seemed settled, it all collapsed with the arrival of Shen Cizhu.

He defied the warnings of his genes and fell in love with Shen Cizhu.

But at that time, Shen Cizhu was still his brother’s lover.

[I will devour all of him with blood and gore, but before that, I beg him to respond to my affection.]

Someone nearby added, jokingly suggesting it would be best if he were liked by a handsome young man—eighteen would be too young, but nineteen would be just right. This playful remark elicited laughter from everyone present.
