I thought I’d be reincarnated as a noble lady in a romance novel.... more>>

But instead, I woke up as an orphan in a back alley.

For a moment, I really believed my life was finally going to get easier when I awakened.

But my Awakening ability is…

“Talent: Awakened (Bounty Watcher)”

“What’s a bounty watcher? not… a bounty hunter?”

Everyone else gets to be swordsmen, wizards, necromancers—

And me? I get to read criminal records.

But I’m Ash. I can turn even dog crap into medicine if I have to.

I figured, “There’s no such thing as an innocent person under the sun. If I use my ability right, maybe I can make a fortune reading criminal profiles.”

Eventually, I became the Northwest’s top fortune-teller:

The Mysterious Esmeralda—and I raked in the cash.

But… did I become too famous?

“10,000,000 Gold.”

“What did that guy do to earn a bounty like that?”

Turns out, I caught the attention of the continent’s greatest villain—Kin.

“You, the most famous forecaster in the entire Western empire.”

“The… what?”

“Break my curse, Mysterious Esmeralda.”

“No. No, no, NO!”

I’m… a fraud!

One misstep after another, and now—

“I’d give anything for you… except to leave me.”

Wait, what? Has Kin lost his mind?

How did I end up as a demonic fortune-teller who seduced the king of criminals?

I’ve been kidnapped by a villain and locked up in the Ashen Citadel of the City of Criminals.

Please help. I just want to quit being a fortuneteller! <<less

“It’s a basic skill.”

Grace, the head of the Ellesia Count family, possessed a mysterious ability to turn back time and was known as both a saint and a demon.... more>>

Though she saved countless lives across the world, she could not cure her own illness.

As she was on the verge of death due to an incurable disease, there was just one final concern she had.

She worried that Kai might lash out at her disciples for staying silent about her death.

“If Kai comes… take the kids and run.”

With a bang, the door was ripped off its hinges, and the Duke of Persia entered belatedly. But—

‘I’m tired, I just want to rest now.’

Thus, Grace Ellesia, who had healed countless people and achieved great feats, closed her eyes for the last time.

*

This is the place where I’m going to live from now on?

The place where she opened her eyes again after leaving the world at a young age was—

“So, this is what they call the room of a neglected daughter?”

“What nonsense! The family just went bankrupt, that’s all.”

In the blink of an eye, Grace… no, Ceres, had become the eldest daughter of a ruined family. Moreover…

‘Three hundred years have passed since I died?’

Wow, this is insane.

‘Well, whatever….’

Three hundred years or not, that’s all fine. But right now—

“Shouldn’t I deal with these debt papers first?”

The only source of money in this cursed, ruined family was a stew shop.

The place that sold mercenaries’ soul food, ‘Where Your Feet Rest.’

But the soup recipe felt strangely familiar.

…Wasn’t I the original creator of this?

“That’s my dish!”

“First come, first served!”

“Get lost!”

…This is an absolute mess, a complete disaster.

First of all, I need to clean this up.

But, by the way…

“Excuse me. Have you seen my Bluey anywhere?”

“Could you please make sure the Duke can at least eat properly?”

…Why do all these weird people keep showing up?

Can’t I just live quietly for once? <<less

Rufus, the eldest son of the Inferna Barony.

He had proposed to the princess in pursuit of wealth and honor…

Only to be sent to the battlefield due to the king’s anger.

“You won’t die.”

As Rufus was in despair, the saintess bestowed upon him a prophecy.

Three years later, the war came to an end.

Rufus, whom everyone had expected to die, survived and returned, now praised as the hero who had defeated the demon king.

People naturally thought he would marry the princess.

However, the person Rufus sought out first was someone entirely unexpected.

It was the saintess—the only one who had ever been on his side when no one else was.

She was none other than Sarubia, the princess’s maid.

“Why do you still remember my name?”

“It’s not that I remember. I couldn’t forget.”

Because she had already become a part of his life. <<less

The loyal dog of a villain with an angel’s name, Cheon Sa-yeon, and an unfortunate supporting character who died on his behalf, Han Yi-gyeol.

In order to escape from Cheon Sa-yeon and survive, he must use the protagonist, Ha Tae-heon.

But Ha Tae-heon, who he thought of as a lifeline, was infinitely indifferent to him. Rather, Cheon Sa-yeon showed interest.

But besides that, something strange happened.

The events that occurred in the original story had advanced, and the gate and monster levels had risen. Even the people were “different” from the original.

Fu Yunshen is a 28-year-old “rich old man.”... more>>

One day, he binds a system, which informs him: Due to a system malfunction, six Jinjiang novels have merged with your world. In these novels, the three-time Best Actor, renowned writer, future scientist, top racer… are all your future partners. They will reenact classic love stories such as;

"The Little Wife Runs Away with a Baby"

"The Blue-eyed Man Falls for the King," and

"I Married Your Godfather After the Breakup."

Fu Yunshen glanced at the titles of these stories:

“Pregnant with the Rich Old Man’s Child”

“Married to the Ex’s Father”

“The Rich Old Man’s Pampered Cat”

He took a deep breath and rejected the idea: "Running away with a baby? No way, you’d better get into Tsinghua or Peking University. For you to become the domineering CEO? No, you should become that yourself. Taking over for the godson? Not interested, let’s work on the in-law relationship."

In the end, he found that the six main characters seemed to be getting more impressive because of his meddling?

Tips: 1. Main couple, 1v1, not a stock market novel.

The day I was about to delete the game, I was abducted into another world—one that looked exactly like Last Savior.

She was talking about my account.

Berlin is a member of the boy group Skye.... more>>

After debuting for two years, Berlin has been keeping a secret - his teammates are not human.

Jiang Suran who always sports silver hair, has fans complaining that the company keeps bleaching the kids' hair, as they've never seen his natural black hair since debut.

Berlin quietly thinks: He is a mermaid, of noble pure blood, born with silver hair. The company is not mistreating the members, it would be better to issue a statement early on to clarify that he is just prone to premature graying.

When asked about his favorite color in an interview, the harmless-looking Hua Yan smilingly squints his eyes: "Red, I like red."

Berlin: I hope the fans never find out that as a vampire, Hua Yan's only interest in red is the color of blood.

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival gala, the restless Wu Hengyao refused to eat mooncakes during a livestream, deeply hating sweet foods: "I hate sweets."

Berlin silently moved the mooncakes over and ate them: Sweets are not guilty, don't transfer your anger, you're clearly just disliking the moon.

Pale-faced Han Yuezhe, whose physical condition the fans are always worried about, is notorious as a sports waste on variety shows.

Berlin: Can the abyss demon be even lazier? He can just lounge around in the same spot for ten thousand years. To make him teleport and play tasks with humans, he might need to pay a few delicious souls.

As for Berlin himself, he doesn't seem to have anything extraordinary compared to his teammates, except that he can see everyone's affection levels.

The only thing that seems a bit off is... everyone's affection levels towards him are surprisingly high.

He stared pensively at the "99" above his teammates' heads for the 101st time.

Apparently, my non-human teammates all seem to have a bit of interest in me.

I hope they hold it in and never say it out loud. Because if I reject their confessions, I might get bitten by a werewolf, cursed by a demon, drained by a vampire, or dragged back to the sea by a mermaid.

Berlin: I'm just an ordinary everyman, don't open any weird side quests for me.

Later, Berlin, who had gotten used to everyone liking him, encountered a strange person.

The affection level above his head was a stark 0. <<less

The Empire's Influential Duke Reinhardt's House's Unbearable Nuisance Lady.... more>>

An adopted child who doesn't know her place, a woman who ruins social gatherings.

The woman who tried to poison Aria Reinhardt, the Duke's biological daughter.

That was me, Mindia Reinhardt.

"Your Grace! Please, spare me!"
"Beg Aria, whom you nearly killed!"

The moment I was beheaded, I realized.

This place is the novel I read, and I'm the minor villain who dies early in the story. After returning, I vowed not to live like that in this life. I tried to grab any man and marry him to escape the Duke's household.

"You think I don't know you were flirting with another man at the party?!"

Thus, my second life ended in ab*se. In the next life, I decided to run away. I planned to leave for a place where no one knew me and live freely.

"Traitor, Mindia Reinhardt, come out!"
"She did it alone!"
"We're not involved!"

The sins of the Duke's house had somehow become my sins. The third life, in which I dreamed of freedom, melted away like a dream.

And now, the fourth.

I decided I would not endure anymore. For that, I needed someone.

"I will be of help. And at the right time, I will leave you, Your Grace."
"Leave?"
"Yes. As if I never existed. I will definitely do that for you."

...That was my plan.

"Where do you think you're going now?"
"I..."
"Didn't I tell you? The Reinhardt who stands by my side, my partner, can only be you."

Since childhood, Song Xiaohe, abandoned by her family, was the most insignificant and untalented disciple in the Immortal Alliance. With mediocre aptitude, she struggled just to pass the monthly assessments required by the sect.... more>>

Yet, she secretly harbored feelings for her exceptionally talented junior brother, Shen Xishan, who had been the center of attention since his youth and was hailed as the alliance's top prodigy.

She had liked him for ten years.

Later, when Shen Xishan went on a mission and perished in a sea of fire, Song Xiaohe wept for days. Failing to complete her assessment, she was punished and sent to the outer sect.

Then, she packed her belongings, took a wooden sword, and descended the mountain alone, declaring that she would save her junior brother.

Everyone believed this was a one-way trip to certain death for Song Xiaohe, mocking her for overestimating her abilities.

At that time, no one knew that this seemingly clumsy girl would emerge from that deadly calamity.

From then on, the name Song Xiaohe would resonate throughout the sects of the immortal world.

【Mini Scene】:

After the news of Shen Xishan's death reached the Immortal Alliance, Song Xiaohe, overwhelmed with grief, failed her assessment and was punished to sweep the grounds of the outer sect.

While cleaning, she thought of her junior brother and burst into tears again, waking a young man sleeping in a tree. A branch hit her on the forehead: "You're too noisy."

Song Xiaohe, annoyed, retorted, "Who are you to hit me!"

The young man jumped down from the tree and introduced himself, "Shen Xishan."

Song Xiaohe exclaimed, "Nonsense, that's my junior brother's name."

The young man puzzled, "I don't recall having a senior sister who cries like a pig."

【At first, Shen Xishan looked down on this seemingly foolish and noisy girl who couldn't even pass the monthly assessments, always finding her annoying.

Later, when Song Xiaohe went down the mountain with others, Shen Xishan defied his master's orders and chased after her for seven days, finally standing before Song Xiaohe, gritting his teeth: "Song Xiaohe, where are you going again?"】

【Character Description: Shen Xishan, a white-cut-black with a bad temper X Song Xiaohe, a talkative and optimistic chatterbox】

2. The setting is highly fictional, a group-oriented long novel, 【not a strong female lead, not a big female lead, not a sister-brother romance, not recommended for readers who are heavy on female lead control or male lead control】 highlighted.

3. The language is straightforward, those who dislike this style should avoid. <<less

In a blood-soaked world ruled entirely by machines, Ha-yoon is forced to repeat his life over and over—even as each cycle strips away his memories. In this broken world, he endures endless suffering until, just as death seems to claim him once more, he comes face-to-face with a man who feels almost unreal…

"I’m heading for the center of the Field. I’ll keep you alive. Come with me."

"…Why would I trust you? Enough of your ploys and get lost."

Despite the stranger’s persistent offers—and the constant attacks by machines—Ha-yoon eventually finds himself paired with Yeo Yeon-oh.

"Where did you come from?"

"Why are you suddenly asking?"

"Because I can’t trust you."

"That hurts a bit. Why won’t you understand my sincerity…?"

Even though they share the common goal of reaching the center of the Field, Ha-yoon’s doubts linger—thanks in large part to Yeo Yeon-oh’s unpredictable ways.

"Ha-yoon, you’re not alone anymore. You don’t have to fight for your life by yourself."

While Ha-yoon remains guarded, Yeo Yeon-oh disregards his caution and offers endless warmth. This unfamiliar kindness leaves Ha-yoon’s heart more confused than ever…
