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

One day, when I came to my senses, I found myself possessing Edith Floret, the villainess who had tormented the male lead Lucius.... more>>

I was destined to die by Lucius's hands after the female lead helps break the spell.

Then wouldn't it be enough to just not kidnap and confine the male lead?

But sadly, I possessed her body the day after she had kidnapped Lucius.

Edith broke into a cold sweat under the male lead's fierce gaze.

When I tried to release him, the mage who helped me warned it would be dangerous.

Since things have come to this....

If I'm going to die anyway, shouldn't I at least enjoy my time with Lucius? <<less

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

Top socialite Gu Qingcheng was abducted and trafficked for three years. After miraculously escaping death, she thought her nightmare was over, but unexpectedly fell into an abyss again. Her doting parents now shunned her like a plague. Her brother, a fierce protector of his sister, utterly detested her. Even her adopted younger sister mocked her with sarcasm. Her childhood sweetheart boyfriend, who had sworn eternal love, became her adopted sister's fiancé and wished for her early demise.... more>>

All of this was because of outside rumors that she had contracted a shameful illness, given birth to an old man's child, and brought disgrace to the Gu family. With a heavy heart, she severed ties with her family. Carrying her hidden net worth of over one hundred million, she turned around and flash-married Lu Junyao.

Everyone knew Lu Junyao was a surgical master, a medical genius, young, handsome, and from an illustrious family, yet no one dared to approach him or propose marriage. This was because of his reclusive and erratic nature; the line between genius and madman was but a thought away for him. But ever since he married the disgraced Miss Gu, Dr. Lu transformed into a wife-doting madman, showing off his affection in public and craving physical closeness in private.

When the Gu family faced impending bankruptcy and had nowhere to turn, they sought help from their son-in-law: "For the sake of family, help us find the mastermind..." Lu Junyao hugged his wife, dotingly kissing her slender hand, "Where is my Qingcheng's slender jade finger blackened?"

I was abducted. By the man who killed my husband.... more>>

On the night my abusive husband died at the hands of an executioner sent by the emperor,

That very executioner, Duke Drake, kidnapped me.

“Marry me, Queen of Terevron. No, Vanessa Roengreen.”

What he demanded, after confining me in his castle, was none other than marriage to him.

To think he wanted to marry me, the queen of a fallen country, he didn’t seem to be in his right mind.

Still, I had to survive, so I pretended to agree, and tried to escape when he let his guard down…

“Trying to betray me again? Not a chance. You’ll never escape from me. Never again.”

He bound me as if he would chase me to the ends of the earth. Staring at me with desperately hungry eyes, speaking as if he had known me from before.

“Duke, have we met before?”

“Think carefully. Even if you remember, nothing will change.”

Who is this man who occasionally looks at me with eyes full of love and hate?

My abductor, who tries to save and destroy me. <<less

“He was an invincible general, and also a legend of invincibility she had heard about since childhood.”... more>>

Shen Roujia was the most precious daughter of a noble family in the capital, extremely beautiful and delicate. She was the designated Crown Princess, but in her heart, she held a deep affection for a general she had admired for many years but had never met.

One winter, the cold west wind brought the news that the great General Huo Zhao, who protected the country, had died in battle. His body was wrapped in a war banner. The Emperor himself escorted the coffin, which was draped in white mourning cloth for a thousand miles and wept for ten thousand miles.

No one expected that this girl, who had always played by the rules and whose every move was a model of aristocratic etiquette, would sneak out of the mansion one late night and go to visit Huo Zhao’s tomb.

…But halfway there, she unexpectedly encountered human traffickers?

In the wilderness, a desolate and godforsaken place, with a ‘husband’ on the verge of death, her c*astity was in imminent danger.

In this moment of crisis, she saw a tall, strong man with a decisive and handsome face returning from hunting nearby.

Shen Roujia wept, tears streaming down her face, looking utterly pitiful:

“Sir… I was sold and brought here. Please, kind sir, save me!”

Small Theatre 1:

One evening, Shen Roujia and the strong man were sitting side by side on a ridge in the field.

Shen Roujia: “The person I admire is the most powerful general in the world.”

Huo Zhao asked with one leg slightly bent: “The general you’re talking about…”

Shen Roujia cupped her cheeks in her hands, half shy, half timid: “It’s Huo Zhao.”

“He’s gentle and handsome and never uses foul language.”

“If I hadn’t been sold here, I would definitely be his treasure.”

Huo Zhao: “…”

That’s not necessarily true.

Small Theater 2:

Another evening, Huo Zhao had just returned from the military camp, his cloak still on, when he saw his wife standing by the curtain, wearing a flimsy, almost useless cloth that barely covered anything, blushing as she looked at him.

Huo Zhao: “?”

Shen Roujia gathered her courage, her voice incredibly soft: “Huo Zhao, are you tired today?”

Huo Zhao shook his head, frowned and then asked his question sincerely:

“Autumn has been here for a while now, aren’t you cold being practically naked like this?”

Small Theater 3:

As soon as she was sold, her belongings were given to someone else, and the father she had always revered tacitly allowed his concubine to mistreat her.

From a cherished daughter of privilege to a peasant girl with no background, it was Huo Zhao who, in Shen Roujia’s despair, told her:

“If you want something, go and take it back.”

“Silly woman, with me by your side, what are you afraid of?”

A ruthless man of few words, with eight-pack abs, devastatingly handsome, a walking bundle of testosterone and a master of all trades – just a little bit of a straight-laced General X A fallen noble lady, delicate and gentle, with a touch of girlish charm – a little fairy of a young miss.

He taught her never to be afraid and never to bow her head.

1. Seven-year age difference between male and female leads.

2. Suitable for readers who prefer purity.

3. Sweetness in a word.

4. The male lead appears in the tenth chapter. The female lead suffers a bit in the first ten chapters, but becomes sweet later.

Lu Wei lost his memory and found himself transmigrated to an alien planet.... more>>

He arrived with a child in tow, who didn't look much like him but was strangely beautiful. Lu Wei blindly guessed that his wife must be quite the looker!

After hitting his head and losing his memory, Lu Wei thought: Although he forgot about his wife, she definitely remembers him. He just needs to raise the child and wait for his wife to find him. Wouldn't that work out well?

So happy~

Feeling pleased with himself, he started a small business while waiting for his wife to return.

Life was going smoothly.

Word had it that his child had even befriended the child of the Imperial Star’s Tyrant Emperor—the future crown prince!

Rumor has it that this was the Tyrant Emperor's only child in the entire galaxy!

Lu Wei: Wow, my kid sure is impressive! He might even become an official in the future.

One day, his child brought back His Majesty's honorable offspring.

—The two children looked exactly alike, practically identical twins.

Lu Wei: …

His child: Daddy!

The Emperor's child opened his mouth and called out: Mommy!

In the end, his wife never came.

Instead, a cold-faced, handsome man even taller than him arrived.

Hilariously, it was the Emperor renowned throughout the stars.

He pointed at the two children over there: "You gave birth to them."

Adding: "With me."

Lu Wei: Damn it, I can get pregnant??

Lu Wei had always thought he'd transmigrated into a farming story of "starting with a child, building a small business into an interstellar chain".

Turns out his story was "giving birth to twins for the allegedly tyrannical Emperor"??

“Hwang Yeonseo, I went through a lot of trouble to find you.” ... more>>

Kidnapped in the middle of Gangnam, no less! Yeonseo, an A-grade Omega, was abducted by a criminal organization targeting Omegas.

Just as she was about to be sold off without a chance to resist, someone appeared before her eyes.

“You said you’d do anything, so should I reward you?”

It was none other than Joo Kangwoon, an A-grade Alpha coveted by all Omegas and the owner of Cheonsang Group.

An Alpha with an intense oak-moss scent so strong it made her nose tingle.

“Finally, I see you, Hwang Yeonseo.”

Following Kangwon, who claimed he needed her cooperation, she met another A-grade Alpha, Lee Shinwoo.

With looks that inspire awe and even worship, Shinwoo had been waiting for Yeonseo and no one else.

“I won’t let any other brats suck on my candy.”

Suddenly entangled with the two Alphas of the Cheonsang Group, Yeonseo found herself in a precarious situation.

As her sweet scent began to waft through the air, Kangwon narrowed his eyes, while Shinwoo smiled brightly. <<less

A hit man. Tennessee had no intention of sugarcoating his profession. He stayed true to his morally bankrupt self and his past. It was a monotonous life, but he didn't think it was bad. ... more>>

At least until he found something in the stolen car.

"What's your name?"

"...I won't tell you. You'll laugh."

"What's your name then?"

"Tennessee."

"Is that your first or last name?"

"You don't need to know."

The child leaned his forehead out through the back window. His black hair fluttered in the wind.

An unintended kidnapping. That's how the relationship between Tennessee and the child began.

***

Fire blazed in his eyes.

Tennessee, I should have cut off those legs of yours.

He took a deep breath, overwhelmed by the intense emotions that transformed into a mix of love and hatred.

Your leg shouldn’t have just been broken, left for you to lean on awkwardly, it should have been damaged beyond repair.

I should cut off both your legs and put them in a bag, then put a leash around your neck. I'll tie that leash to my perfectly fine legs.

A suffocating silence settled. His body collapsed, strength drained.

His palms were sticky. What he thought was sweat turned out to be blood seeping out. Without the energy to even wipe it away, he buried his face in his hands.

It was horrible. This version of himself. The entire situation. It was despair itself. If he gave up, if Tennessee escaped like this…

He wouldn’t be able to go on living. <<less

Ji Wanqing, a survivor of the apocalypse, possesses a space with abundant resources and transmigrates to the 1970s. She was exhausted from the struggles of her previous life, so this time she vows to embrace a leisurely retirement!... more>>

Rumor has it that during their first meeting, Jiang Ruo was dressed in a cheap suit, standing in the hotel lobby asking people for an "overnight fee." After receiving the cash, he counted it twice, and his head lifted to meet Xi Yufeng’s gaze.... more>>

Across the revolving staircase, one of them stood with his hands in his pockets, looking down with averted eyes, while the other, with a hand full of money, looked up.

One watched indifferently, his coldness clearly showing disdain; the other smiled provocatively, thinking that no matter how high the branch, it was unattainable.

Rumor has it that at their second meeting, they ended up in bed together.

The next morning, only Jiang Ruo was left. He held his sore waist and dialed a phone number, gritting his teeth, “How long have you been hungry, Young Master Xi?”

Xi Yufeng remained calm, only asking, “How much?”

Rumor has it that later, Xi Yufeng kept Jiang Ruo, but the two were always at odds. Jiang Ruo even dared to give Xi Yufeng a cold shoulder in front of a room full of people over a bottle of wine given away.

Xi Yufeng, of course, wouldn’t tolerate his pet being disobedient. According to someone passing by the restroom, there was quite a commotion inside. When Jiang Ruo came out, his eyes were brimming with tears, looking like he had just been disciplined.

Rumor has it that the young master of the Xi family has a match-made fiancée, so Jiang Ruo’s audacity won’t last long.

Another rumor says that the Xi family is in an uproar because Xi Yufeng refused to get married.

For a minor celebrity.

Beyond the rumors, Xi Yufeng frowned, looking displeased yet helpless, and asked Jiang Ruo, “Are you done causing trouble?”

“No.”

“What do you want now?”

Jiang Ruo smiled brightly, “I want the last rumor to come true… Can it?”

Yi HanZhi stayed up all night and read a martial arts novel. Because the plot was too bad, he swore at the author all night. And then, he found out the next day he actually transmigrated into that specific novel, and it was still the kind of dispensable passerby character.... more>>

Yi HanZhi said that if he transmigrated, then just let it be. Anyway, he was just a passerby. It was not his turn to accompany the male lead to fight monsters and upgrades. He would just stay at home and perform his role of unrestrained and romantic young master. When he was bored, he would stroll around the red-light district. Wouldn’t it be a happy life?

Who knew that the protagonist would come to the door that day and ask him to hand over some martial arts secrets?

Yi HanZhi said ‘what the hell is it? I don’t know!’　

So, he drove the protagonist out and mol*sted the protagonist by the way, because he was so good-looking, and thus Yi HanZhi couldn’t hold it back. As a result, he fell into a tragedy that night.

He had been single in the real world for more than 20 years, and once he transmigrated, he wanted to go to the so-called flower street in ancient times to take a look.

In a place called Furong Pavilion, he saw a woman with a devastatingly beautiful face, and his heart was full of joy. He wanted to spend a good night with her that night. Who knew that the beauty was actually a man?

Damn it! He must really be blind to mistake a man for a woman!

As a result, that night, Yi HanZhi felt that he was in a nightmare.

Even if he was f*cked by a man, he just took it as being bitten by a dog. But after a few months, he actually found that his belly was slowly growing bigger?

“You are pregnant.” The doctor’s extremely kind voice sounded in his ear.

What’s the situation? He didn’t remember this setting in the novel. Hello? He is a man!! ! <<less

Ren Er grew up eating meals from different households, rough in life and rough in spirit but not in looks.... more>>

Standing over 1.9 meters tall, with solid muscles, an arrogant little braid, and an exaggerated row of earrings, he was a sight that made people avert their gaze wherever he went.

Most of all, the iron rod resting on his broad shoulders was downright terrifying.

Ren Er had long grown used to being treated like tr*sh, to people avoiding him as if he carried the plague, until one day, after getting injured, he met someone who was like an angel.

That was it. He decided this person would be his for life!

But after pursuing them for a while, he realized… he had a rival.

A well-dressed, refined-looking rival. Suit, luxury car, money raining down like confetti - this old man was trying to prey on the young!

Yet, Ren Er’s sense of crisis only deepened, pushing him to pick trouble with the guy again and again.

And then, somewhere along the way, he noticed, this high-and-mighty man would secretly wipe away tears when no one was watching. Drunk, he’d cling to Ren Er, calling him “big brother” and begging for hugs.

So, Ren Er hugged him. And damn, it felt pretty good.

Later, when he had nowhere else to go and got taken in by the so-called “old man” he realized this guy was fragrant.

*

Ren Er had originally come to cause trouble for Song Wanting, but someone else beat him to it. Seeing the man cornered against the wall, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, Ren Er felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort.

After rescuing him, he scoffed, “You’ve got a decent build. How are you this bad at fighting?”

Song Wanting dusted off his clothes and replied calmly, “Fighting isn’t exactly a necessary life skill.”

Ren Er let out a laugh of disbelief. “Well, for President Song, getting beaten up sure seems like one.”

Yuto Domori (Domori Yuto)was born into the Domori family, a family of the strongest spirit swordsman who inherited the unusual abilities.... more>>

Because, he inherited spiritual and magical powers from his father and mother that contradicts each other. If only the magical side was sealed, his spiritual power simply leaked out and he was unable to use either of them, resulting in a peculiar constitution that prevented him from inheriting his powers.

For this reason, he received training in the Sendo from his grandfather (Kazura) Tenzo’s acquaintance Soni.
