“Say, Lady Saintess? When will you go home?”
“Fuee~? I won’t go home as long as Julis is here, you know?”... more>>

In this world, magic has pervaded the world.
However, there was a boy who couldn’t use magic and lived a normal life.

His name is Julis Anderberg.
He is the only son of a frontier lord, and will soon inherit the domain.
Although he has no magical talent, he nevertheless lived a life that was not ashamed of being an aristocrat.

…… Still, for a boy who cannot use magic, this world is stifling.
So, he thought.

“If I can’t use magic, why not just use something else?”

Then, he devised a plan.
Unlike magic, which uses the magic power inside the body to interfere with the world, he uses the magic power in the air to interfere with────sorcery.

Furthermore, he was able to master the magic related to the names of the seven deadly sins: pride, greed, envy, lust, wrath, gluttony, and sloth.

However, that was in his childhood.

Nowadays────

“Julis, please wake up! It’s morning, it’s morning already!”
“……Let me sleep for four more hours.”
“Four hours is too much sleep!”

Thus, he began to lead a normal life.
However, it is far from normal. He’s a nobleman, but there is something wrong with this routine.

“Cecilia……, you’re a saintess, why are you allowed to be here?”
“It’s okay! I want to be with Julis!”

A goddess who brings peace and blessings to the world.
And she’s one of the highest priestesses of the church that serves her.

If there is one of her in the country, it is said to be a safe existence, but for some reason, she is in this remote region.
From an outsider’s point of view, it’s a bizarre sight. The surrounding aristocrats won’t stay quiet.

One day, Julis and Cecilia were told by their father, the lord of the frontier,

“You two are going to attend the magic academy.”
“……I, can’t use magic, though?”

This is the story of Julis, who can’t use magic but is enrolled in the magic academy, and Cecilia a Saintess, who is the highest priestess, who are involved in various events at the academy!

“Magic is strong?…… Isn’t that overly full of pride?” <<less

“It makes me curious just how far you’re willing to go.”... more>>

It was supposed to be an ordinary arranged marriage.

Except for the fact that during their one year of marriage, Seokyeong was abroad the entire time,

and Eunchae had been the only one harboring feelings for him.

Three years after their divorce, Eunchae’s contract-based company changes ownership.

To her shock, the new owner is none other than Baek Seokyeong—her ex-husband, who had ended their marriage so callously three years ago.

“I’ll live as if I’m dead.”

Eunchae bowed deeply. With no way out, she had to abandon her pride.

Seokyeong, with a casual smirk, said he was curious just how far she’d go.

“Why don’t we start with what you hate the most?”

“What do you mean?”

“Sleeping together?”

Seokyeong’s lips curled into a faint smile.

Despite knowing it was foolish, Eunchae couldn’t let go of this twisted relationship and clung to him.

But when she realized that both the past version of herself and the present version were nothing but burdens to Seokyeong,

she resolved to disappear from his life once again.

And when Eunchae finally vanishes from Seokyeong’s life once more,

he comes to the belated realization that his warped desires were, in fact, love all along… <<less

Choi Dan-jung, a hotelier cursed with a peculiar dating jinx—breaking up with every partner after exactly three months—is perpetually misunderstood. Her charming smile draws attention from many men, but the rumors labeling her as “an easy woman” have left her exhausted. Desperate to escape this cycle, she impulsively declares:... more>>

“If divorce isn’t an option, then I’ll get married!”

Little does she expect a deep, baritone voice to respond immediately:

“Then marry me.”

The man standing before her is none other than Lee Min-hyuk, the CEO of Seoul’s Le Soleil Hotel—and he’s drop-dead gorgeous. His proposal? A marriage within ten days, with one condition: no divorce, ever.

“I want to marry you within ten days,” Min-hyuk says bluntly.

“What? Ten days?” Dan-jung stammers in disbelief.

“And the condition is simple: no divorce, for life.”

When Dan-jung hesitates, Min-hyuk reveals another shocking detail:

“By the way, I’m sick.”

“Sick? What do you mean?”

“I can’t feel emotions.”

Thus begins their unconventional marriage—a union between a woman desperate for eternal love and a man incapable of feeling emotions. As they navigate their “no-divorce” agreement, their lives intertwine in unexpected ways, leading to laughter, growth, and perhaps even love. <<less

That night, the mighty head of the Qiao family in BeiCheng, Qiao YuChen, pinned her against the sofa.... more>>

“An Ran, you know that being married means that both parties must fulfill their obligations.”

“Our marriage is only a contract.”

“A contract still means legally binding, An Ran, you, can’t escape.”

An Ran was rumored to be the “evil adopted daughter” that decided to “backstab” the An family.

There were three things she regretted during her life:

Firstly, the night her mother passed away; she went to the wrong person for help. Not only did she lose her innocence, but she also had to endure four years of prison.

Secondly, after she got out of prison, to seek revenge on her father’s family, she gave up part of her liver and provoked Qian YuChen, who was still An Xin’s boyfriend at the time.

Finally, she shouldn’t have played with fire. She should have never fallen in love with that man. <<less

“What do you need, student?”

The man she met for the first time at the police station opened with that question.

“I… don’t need money, sir.”

“Sir,” when Park Chigyeong repeated the word to himself, his expression subtly changed.

She caught the slight furrow of his brow.

“I heard that’s what people call prosecutors. Did it… offend you?”

Exhaling a puff of cigarette smoke, he smiled faintly.

Was that a smile of annoyance or amusement?

Taeri couldn’t help but wonder.

“But why have you been acting so bold since earlier?”

Park Chigyeong, who had been casually exchanging nods with the detectives passing by, took a step closer.

“Student. Do you find it ridiculous because I’m being polite? Do you think we’re friends just because I’m smiling at you?”

At a distance where he could have touched her with just an outstretched hand, he leaned forward. His lips brushed against her ear as he whispered, his tone sharp as if he was grinding his teeth.

“Stop trying to provoke me and just name your price, kid.”

As Taeri stood in the lukewarm temperature of March, neither cold nor warm, she felt her palms slowly begin to sweat. <<less

Suddenly pulled into a world filled with Specters, Fang Xiu woke up with a unique ability: Reset. Every time he died, time would rewind to the moment before he was killed.... more>>

In this strange and dangerous world, Fang Xiu could have chosen to hide. Instead he announced to the world, “Yes, I’m a prophet. I can see the future!” As his predictions kept coming true, his title of the Prophet spread around the world.

His words became the truth. They became the future.

“I have seen the future,” he announced, attracting people from all around the world.

His followers took it to the extreme, declaring, “Should the Prophet decree your demise one day, don’t waver, don’t question, just obey. For hesitance only leads to a far graver fate.”

During a B-level Specter event, known as [the Spawning]

A teammate warned, “The creature is hiding among these villagers. We need to be careful.”

Fang Xiu pointed to the last row and commanded, “The one in white. Yes, you. Come out!”

In an A-level Specter event, called [Lantern Heads]

One teammate warned, “This area is crawling with thousands of Lantern Heads. If they shine their light on you, your head will fall off. The scariest part is the Lantern Heads float unpredictably. It’s impossible for anyone to get across safely. Wait, where’s Fang Xiu?”

Another stuttered, “He, he…he’s on the other side!”

The first teammate exclaimed in disbelief, “What?! How did he get across?”

The other replied: “He…he just walked over.” <<less

The door to his room slammed open, and before he could even react, his father was there, eyes burning with disdain. Weiyang flinched, instinctively pulling away from the touch he had learned to fear over the years. His father's voice was sharp, like a whip cracking through the silence.... more>>

"I've nurtured you for 19 years"

The words cut through him like a blade. He could barely keep his legs beneath him, his frail body trembling from the force of his father's anger. The fear that had built inside him over the years finally broke free, but there was nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide.

"

His father's harsh grip didn't loosen as he was dragged out of the room and down the cold, sterile hallway. Weiyang's mind raced-he had no idea what his father was doing, or where he was being taken. All he knew was that the world he once knew was slipping away.

They arrived at a luxurious, cold room, where a tall, imposing man stood-Xu Chenglei. Weiyang didn't dare meet his eyes. The man was a stranger, yet something about his presence felt suffocating, as if he were already controlling the space around him. Weiyang's chest tightened with anxiety, his body screaming for escape, but his father's grip held him firmly in place.

Xu Chenglei didn't even acknowledge him. His gaze never once landed on Weiyang <<less

When she saw him, her heart plummeted. The moment she saw him, she fell into an irresistible love.  ... more>>

Can a human be so beautiful? So utterly lovable?

“You have to love me as much as you’re loved because of me. That’s fair, right?”

She didn’t know it was because of an ancient vow. Da-mi had forgotten everything.  

***  

“This isn’t even punishment. No. Compared to what you did to me, this is nothing.”  

Da-mi twisted her waist crudely, clinging to his arm. As she panted hot breaths and pleaded, Hyeon easily pinned her feeble resistance. His clouded eyes warped with perverse pleasure as he sank his fangs into her nape again.  

“Why do you only do this to me? You who forgot me, how dare you!”  

***  

On a certain day from a precious memory only it remembered.  

“What’s your name?”  

When the girl asked, it felt a flicker of joy.  

Finally, I can tell someone my name. I, too, have a name.  

“Dregs.”  

[T/N : "찌꺼기" translates to "dregs," or "leftover scraps." It implies something worthless, cast aside, or unwanted—mirroring how he was rejected at birth for being "sinister" and "ominous."]

Though its gaze remained blank, its long tail wagged eagerly.  

“…….”  

The girl froze, her face terrified.  

It stared at Da-mi’s trembling form, then impulsively said:  

“Just call me Snake.”  

“Snake” was not its name. If the girl called it Snake, it would be no different from living under another’s identity.  

But a human’s lifespan was a mere century. To it, who had lived eternity, that was but a fleeting moment. If the girl wasn’t afraid, it could temporarily shed its identity and become a snake.  

It decided to become a snake.  

A ordinary snake living among humans, a pet snake cherishing the name its owner gave… If I can stay by your side… Even a century would be enough. <<less

But when Liang’s long-lost brother returns, whispering promises of family, Liang makes a choice.

He leaves.

Now, strapped to a table in a lab, Liang realizes the truth too late: he wasn’t saved—he was stolen.

Shen Jinnian picked up a barely breathing human baby and took it to the hospital where it was diagnosed with “severe hormone deficiency syndrome.” The only solution was to find the child’s biological parents as soon as possible.... more>>

The doctor squinted at him, then at the cub—who looked exactly like him—and asked, “You’re sure this isn’t your cub?”

Shen Jinnian snorted proudly. “I’m a SS-rank Alpha. I was never built for that function.”

For some reason, though, this little guy was obsessed with his pheromones, whenever he held him into his arms, he inhaled them deeply like a mini storm vacuum.

No matter what he did, Shen Jinnian couldn’t shake off the tiny burden.

Every day, he worked diligently to find this cub’s parents.

Until one day, he accidentally brought home his archenemy Gu Yan’s underwear.

The baby immediately latched onto it and shouted, “Papa~”

SS-Rank Esper Nakyoo Seong and His Guide’s Struggle in a World Without Guides... more>>

One day, SS-rank Esper Nakyoo Seong and his guide, Ji Seon Woo, are suddenly pulled into a mysterious portal, transporting them to an unfamiliar world. There, they are taken in by a man named Jayan, who pleads with them to save a future world devoid of guides.

Nakyoo Seong, focused solely on returning to his own time with his guide, refuses outright. However, Ji Seon Woo, in contrast, accepts the request to save the world.

"What makes you think we should stay here? We don’t even know what they’ll demand from us!

Wake up! We’ve been kidnapped—we’re the victims here!"

"I know that! But what if we leave without a plan? What then? What if it’s even more dangerous out there? What if we have nowhere to eat or sleep?"

Ultimately, unable to defy the bond with his marked guide, Nakyoo Seong begrudgingly stays in Seubel. However, trouble quickly follows—people around them won’t stop flirting with Ji Seon Woo, an unexpected fated partner appears, and to top it off, Song Yeo Hwan, who was delayed in his dimensional transfer, finally joins them. Now, Nakyoo Seong has a throbbing headache—and possibly an ulcer.

"Nakyoo Seong, just how long have you been here? And why am I only finding you now?"

[“Popular, aren’t we, young master? I’m good at this too, you know. If you’re going to have fun, why not include me?”]

"Both of you, shut up and get lost."

With no interest in anyone except Ji Seon Woo, Nakyoo Seong does everything he can to return to the present day. But in this warped future, will he truly make it back home unscathed? <<less

Ling Xing opens his eyes to find himself transported to ancient times, becoming a "chong xi" bridegroom, married to a man on his deathbed. The wedding ceremony was conducted with his husband's younger brother standing in as a proxy. Three days after the wedding, his husband passes away, and Ling Xing is transformed from a bridegroom into a widower.... more>>

The original Ling Xing had fled famine and hardship, leaving him with no place to call home. Fortunately, the Shen family takes him in and allows him to live with them. The Shen family is poor, struggling to make ends meet, often going hungry and lacking adequate clothing. They subsist on a meager diet of porridge mixed with wheat bran, barely enough to fill their stomachs.

Ling Xing, in his past life, was a food vlogger, skilled in recreating various cuisines and an excellent cook. To earn a living, he starts selling steamed buns, rice noodle rolls, and grilled skewers. His small food stall gradually grows into a two-story restaurant, becoming quite prosperous.

As Ling Xing's business thrives and his life improves, more and more people come forward to propose marriage. The matchmakers chatter incessantly, saying, "The Shen family, you shouldn't stop Xing Ge'er from remarrying." "In our Yu dynasty, there's no rule that a married woman or ge'er must remain a widow for life." "The one proposing marriage is a scholar!"

Ling Xing is constantly pestered by these matchmakers, feeling overwhelmed. Fortunately, his brother-in-law, who had given up his life as a hunter to pursue studies, returns after completing his imperial exams. Under his cold gaze, the matchmakers quickly disperse.

That night, Ling Xing is pinned down by a tall, shadowy figure.

"If you are willing to remarry, I want to marry you," the figure says.

Ling Xing is stunned, exclaiming in disbelief, "Shen Hui, are you crazy? I'm your brother-in-law!"

Shen Hui lowers his gaze and replies, "You were married to me, so what kind of brother-in-law are you?"

Note:

The title "chōng xǐ" refers to the traditional practice of marrying to ward off bad luck. <<less

Wang Man transmigrated into the body of a pitiful girl sold by her own Father and stepmother to a local thug. Faced with a household so poor it had neither food nor drink, and suffering from a severe concussion, she nearly starved to death.

Her half-blind mother-in-law offered her a vegetable bun she had hoarded for days.

Looking at the white fuzz growing on it, Wang Man was utterly speechless. Is this even edible? Am I about to meet my great-grandmother in the afterlife?

Her thug of a husband was lazy and gluttonous, spending his days dreaming of striking it rich at the gambling den. Thus began Xiao Man’s long road of violently taming her Husband.

Wants to gamble? Beat him!

Refuses to work? Beat him!

Won’t listen? Still beat him!

Too many bad habits? They must be fixed—and if not, then beaten out of him!

In short, Wang Man's philosophy was simple: Don't do your part? You get hit.

Once isn’t enough? Then twice.

Twice doesn’t work? Then more.

Keep going until he’s properly broken in.

The thug Wang San spent every day drowning in regret. He couldn’t understand how his mind had slipped enough to bring home this violent tigress of a woman.

As for the days ahead? Oh, they were going to be rough. <<less

Ling Xiao returned to his hometown with illustrious military achievements, only to hear rumors that his restless sister-in-law had conspired with an outsider to mu*der his long-ill elder brother.... more>>

He watched as she knelt before the coffin, clad in plain white mourning robes, her slender frame as delicate as a willow, her brows like distant mountains, weeping so pitifully it could move anyone’s heart.

With a sharp sword, he lifted her fragile chin, his killing intent flaring: "A bewitching beauty brings ruin—you deserve death!"

—

Later, she proved her innocence, yet he still despised her, for his brother had died because of her.

He warned her, "Rein in your seductive ways. If you dare stray from your widow’s duties and fail to remain chaste for my brother, I will kill you all the same."

—

Later still, she fled at the sight of him, trembling at his every word, avoiding him like a venomous snake.

Yet in the dead of night, he pinned her against the wall, his rough fingers greedily caressing her face: "Why won’t you seduce me?"

Cheng Youyou woke up from the apocalypse to find herself in the Beast World Continent. The moment she opened her eyes, a handsome naked man was touching her everywhere. What kind of disastrous start was this?... more>>

Why did she have to take the blame for the original owner, who was ugly and fat? What did the original owner's four beast husbands have to do with her?

In the Beast World, she would use her ability to become a great witch doctor famous throughout the continent, and with her other hand, she would create delicious food to become a renowned gourmet.

As for beast husbands, they only hindered the progress of an eagle-like female.

A trace of fanatical obsession flashed across the Silver Fox's exquisite face: "Female Master, without you, I can't live."

Extreme pain and pleading appeared on the Golden Lion's handsome face: "I am willing to pay any price for the mistakes I made before, just to stay by your side."

Undisguised possessiveness was on the Black Dragon's beautiful face: "Sister, they are all old, they can't serve you well at all. Isn't it good if you only have me?"

A face full of tenderness was on the White Tiger's stern face: "Among all things in heaven and earth, only you make me willing to prostrate myself at your feet."

Cheng Youyou: "..."

She just wanted to focus on her career in this Beast World, so why did they all seem to have taken the wrong medicine? No, it seems her ability hasn't been cultivated to its peak. She can't tarnish her reputation as a great witch doctor. She must restore them to their former selves.

How is it that the ones in front haven't been cured yet, and others are already lining up behind them, even pulling at each other's hair?

No! It seems she needs to increase the dosage. Why are they getting more and more severe... <<less

After transmigrating, I found myself as Go Yeonwoo, a side villain who mu*dered the protagonist, Woo Jiyoo, only to be brutally killed by a group of S-Class Espers.... more>>

To make matters worse, the moment I transmigrated was right after killing Woo Jiyoo.

But unlike the original story, Go Yeonwoo awakens as an S-Class Guide.

The Espers, upon sensing Go Yeonwoo’s guiding energy, start acting differently from the original.

“This bastard, let’s take him and use him as our personal sl*t. Just killing him would be too easy a punishment.”

“We’ll make him regret killing Woo Jiyoo. I’ll have him begging for death by the end.”

The S-Class Espers fake Go Yeonwoo’s death and imprison him in a secret place, forcing him to guide them.

However, with his already twisted tastes, Go Yeonwoo finds the Espers’ obsessive behavior suffocatingly delightful.

He even pretends to resist, encouraging them to treat him even more recklessly.

But then…

“Hey, are you seriously stopping after eating just this much? Are you planning to starve yourself to death?”

“Get lost, Kang Taewon. Because of you, my sl*t can’t eat properly. I’ll feed him myself. Open wide, Yeonwoo.”

“Yeonwoo, is there something you want to say to me? You were jealous enough to kill Jiyoo over it, weren’t you? If you tell me now, I’ll listen. Go ahead.”

“You’re letting me hold you up? Does that mean you’re giving me permission now?” <<less

A third-generation chaebol heir working for a rival company? Suspicious, to say the least. But with survival at stake, Tae-ha reluctantly accepts his offer. Thus begins their relationship, rooted in distrust. However, Cheon Geon-young uses his alluring charm to shake her resolve…

I was being chased by a madman. While carrying a child.

That devil of a man had ultimately succeeded in planting his seed in my womb.

But—

"Has the life of endlessly repaying your debt become too boring for you?"

"I......."

Beom Tae-hoo had found me again.

"How much debt do you have that you think you can just die on your own? I'm the only bstard in the world who would buy you."

I remembered clearly how that man had klled my father.

My heart, which had been pounding with a heavy thud for a while now, felt like it was about to stop.

“I nearly went crazy wanting to have you while waiting for you, I-seo.”

A chain of ill-fated ties that must be severed.

No matter how desperately I tried to run, like a closed curve, I would always end up returning to where he was.

Tae-hoo’s lips twisted upward.

“Then it’s time to undress, I-seo.”

My breath stopped.
