The family arranged a marriage for me. The woman turned out to be my class teacher…

The man who stood before me was massive. Admittedly, the lighting inside the bar was not very bright, but the shadow that hung over his face was unusually dark, and his appearance was not completely visible. However, it was obvious that his face was unforgettable from his sharp eyes and straight mouth.... more>>

The man asked in a high-handed manner, as if he were looking down on me.

"Idealize?"
"What...? Uh... Mirae hyung?"

I replied with an awkward smile. I had no choice but to acknowledge him.

"The distance between them, further breaking bones; taking a step back, they will never intersect. Jing Xia wanted to retreat, but Huo Chuchen wanted to move forward."... more>>

In order to investigate a terrorist attack, Jing Xia assumed a false identity and became Huo Chuchen's right hand and gun. She thought her disguise was seamless, until Huo Chuchen trapped her in front of a desk and coldly asked, "Is there someone else listening on the other side of the bug you planted?" Jing Xia trembled.

But he kissed her neck and continued to ask, "Do you, like him?" Between breaking Jing Xia's neck and kissing her, Huo Chuchen knew he would always choose the latter.

They first met at Yueya Correctional Facility. He was a criminal who was imprisoned on behalf of someone else. He behaved frivolously, an unbridled look in his eyes. At first glance, he didn’t seem to be a good person.... more>>

She and he belonged in two different worlds. One light, one dark. Destined to collide.

The next time they met, the sky was overcast. It was raining and foggy. At the intersection, the world outside the car windows was chaotic and blurry.

She appeared suddenly, a ray of poignant purity.

It was then he knew, he had long been waiting for this uncertain reunion.

After words, without batting an eyelid, he quietly advanced. Using the crudest, most overbearing and straightforward maneuver, he entered her life.

She approached him little by little, and stepped closer and closer to the truth.

He said, “One day when you find out the things I did, give me a chance. Don’t leave, ever.”

He said, “If you can survive, I’ll put up offerings to the gods and prostrate before Buddha, I’ll abstain from meat and alcohol, recite scriptures and kowtow my gratitude in front of that Old Man. If you die, I won’t continue living alone either, I’ll follow you to the afterlife.”

His embrace was a warm enclosure, sheltering her from the wind and rain lest she be cold and helpless.

To call this love would barely scratch the surface.

— As luck would have it, during times when you were cold, I was able to give you warmth. — <<less

Jiyul lost her will to live after her mother's su*cide and spent her time locked up in her house until the new gardener, Cha Seontae, arrived at her yard.

"If it doesn't work out with that brother, how about this guy?"

He lightly and cheerfully steals Jiyul's gaze and shakes up her daily life....

"But why did you say that?"
"......"
"I can't figure out your intention no matter how much I think about it."

After staring at me wordlessly for a moment, he roughly ruffled his hair. The bangs that clung to his forehead fell unevenly behind him.

"You want me to tell you outright?"

I nodded my head coldly. I wanted to satisfy a different kind of curiosity.

"You know, seeing you like that made me feel the same way."
"...What?"
"The girl who used to be so innocent suddenly has that kind of expression. It made ma curious.”
"......"
"Of what happens when you get properly h**ny."

It was a crude answer beyond my expectations. <<less

The golden hatchet man* Xia Liuyi in Xiao Qi Tong founded a film studio to launder money under the boss’s command. The female lead of the film was their sister-in-law; the male lead was a threatened popular star; the director has only shot X-rated films – they need one more educated person to write a story.

Wasn’t that an easy task?

Boss Liuyi took action promptly. He picked the only college student in this area – He Chusan who was coming home with his little backpack. He Chusan said: “I can’t write a screenplay. I’m studying economics.” Xia Liuyi said: “Beat him.” He Chusan became a golden screenwriter obediently.

After finishing this film, He Chusan thought he was already freed. Rest assured, he went to school with his little backpack again. However, he stepped on the Xia Liuyi covered with blood just in front of his home. The stage of a triad boss who was a snapdragon in this chaotic world and a white-collar elite from an innocent family, two parallel lines that seemed not to cross each other, and a messy, unreasonable fate, has its curtain lifted……

"Do you want your passport back?"... more>>

He stared straight at her eyes that were clearly shining under her short bangs.

"…Give it back."

"Then you will have to work hard for it."

While she was chewing the meat in her mouth hard, the next piece of meat came into her mouth right after. Avoiding it was not as simple because she thought the fork would become a weapon in this man's hand.

The meat that she barely chewed and fell over her neck in chunks.

"What should I do to get it back?”

"While growing up, did no adults tell you this? You can't just say what you want, so don't say it like that."

A large chunk of meat could not fall over and felt stuck somewhere in her throat. Sarin clenched her fist and tapped her chest.

"Hmm…"

"Well, if you'd just spent that money on laundry, we wouldn't have had a chance to face each other like this. Don't you think so?"

It was a simple favour until the money was received, and then it was malice. Owen's interest borders on malice. His golden eyes glistened. It looked like a completely crazy look, it gave her goosebumps from the inside of her wrist.

"…My flight is just around the corner. I have to go back."

Not interested in feeding anymore, he laid down his fork carelessly. She could hear the sound of metal hitting the plate.

"That's your situation."

Word is that her situation is not over yet. <<less

That summer afternoon, spent beside the being who had become the heaviest in my world, with the verdure of the season deepening within the confines of my lone space, self-isolated from others. Solitude was no longer an option for me. A life without Woonu only promised loneliness.... more>>

I lost my family and experienced the loneliness that lingered in their absence, living a lonesome life without holding anyone close to my heart, stewing in my solitude. Loneliness and solitude cannot coexist. Only those who have chosen solitude know of this truth.

Solitude is a blank, and loneliness is a dearth that seeks to be filled. Because solitude is closer to nonpossession than it is to resignation, while loneliness is like a jar with a leaky bottom. That imperfectly solid blank of mine, built from my fleeing of loneliness, became desperate to contain a whole being.

Woonu, having felt the rain at the tip of his fingers, arm stretched beyond the eaves, suddenly straightened his legs and leaned his upper body forward.

“Huh? A green frog!”

“Where? Are you sure you didn’t see wrong?”

“There, over there! Oh, oh, it’s jumping!”

“Oh, there really is one.”

“Where did it come from? Has it always lived here?”

I quietly gazed at the side of his face, his mouth agape with a bright smile adorning it.

Where did you come from? Where did you come from for it to feel as though you’ve always been here? <<less

"If you run away again, I will destroy the world!" ... more>>

"I won't run, I won't run. I'll be good!"

Bo Yucheng watches the vixen who intently tries to escape and gets his hands on two marriage certificates instantly.

"If you dare to escape illegally again, I will use legal means to bring you back."

The girl nods her head fervently.

From this moment on, Young Master Bo has become addicted to pampering and protecting his wife.

However, there are rumors that Mrs Bo is an ugly, idiotic, and s*upid woman from a poor family background, making her undeserving of Young Master Bo's love and favor.

Hence, billions of fans from all over the world become unhappy. "Who dares to talk bad about our goddess?"

The people from world-class medical research institute are also annoyed. "Who is so blind to belittle the successor of our institute?"

Even the First Young Master of the wealthiest family is enraged. "I heard that someone is looking down on the daughter of the Shi Family?"

Everyone is dumbfounded and shocked as they look at the girl who is placed on the pedestal in various fields.

Young Master Bo pulls his wife into his embrace immediately and smirks. "If anyone dares to provoke my wife again... they shall just be put to death."

In the prosperous Jianglong City, women and children disappear every day, and strange clouds gather over the city.... more>>

A puzzle piece was sent to the police station, and the clues pointed to the recent frequent disappearances.

The police discovered that this was not an ordinary puzzle piece but human skin, and it came from the mu*derer of another case.

Is it the mu*derer? Or the victim? Who is the perpetrator?

Yu Jing, the leader of the Serious Crime Team Two, grew up among gangsters and made jokes on weekdays, but when it comes to serious matters, he immediately becomes serious and leads his men straight to the scene. He discovered that the clues in the case were very similar to an old case from fifteen years ago.

This case was inextricably linked to the major child abduction case fifteen years ago.

In order to solve the case faster, the city bureau called in a helping hand. They heard it was the forensic section chief from the city bureau next door, “Lu Yidao”*, who claims to be able to make the dead speak.

Accidentally, the two met at the crime scene, and both thought the other was a gangster. After a few rounds of fighting, both of them were impressed.

Even if the misunderstanding was resolved, the relationship was still forged.

The appearance of mysterious puzzle pieces actually formed a mysterious sun totem.

Although the two of them started fighting each other as soon as they met, in the face of the sudden case, they made a tacit agreement to temporarily reconcile and joined hands to face the sea of blood and avenge countless dead souls.

“The sun means rebirth and burns everything. I am willing to use my mortal body to withstand all kinds of difficulties and dangers. Even if it turns into embers, I will have no regrets.”

“Even if the night is endless, as long as faith never goes out, I will be the fireworks that light up the way forward.”
