My older brother, who was my only family member, lost his memory.... more>>

“I have a sibling? Are you kidding me?”

He was a fool who cared for me ever since he brought me from the temple…

“I can’t even take care of myself, so what is this…”

I left the family because I didn’t want to be a burden to my older brother, who had no memory, and was helpless in the tragedy that followed.

So I turned back time.

That too, to the point when my brother lost his memory.

“I don’t have anything in my head, so I don’t know what to do next. What if I have a kid with me?”

We must not repeat the tragedy of the past life. So I grimly said,

“That’s right. I don’t have anything on my brother’s head right now.”

“…What, what?”

I chuckled and took out a document I had prepared. The contents of the document, written in crooked, large letters, were simple.

[I transfer all the property in my name to my younger sister.]

While my gaping older brother was checking the documents, I took out his seal from his drawer and smeared it with ink.

Then I put it in his hand and said with a very sad expression.

“So stamp it. Now.”

I will protect you in this life. <<less

At the age of ten, Jiang Qi had black hair, shallow pupils, and a pale, delicate appearance. He often got injured, with blood flowing from his head. He was the son of a 'notorious' mu*derer in Chen Kong Alley, and people cursed him, saying that he had vile blood running in his veins. Except for Zhi Qi, no one paid him any attention.... more>>

Zhi Qi often cried while bandaging his wounds, her voice soft as she asked, "Why do you always get hurt? Does it hurt a lot?"

Jiang Qi smiled, the cold and rebellious boy appearing particularly obedient in front of her: "If you comfort me, it won't hurt anymore."

By the time he reached high school, he had become the most famous madman, cold and ruthless in all Lin Lan. Zhi Qi remembered Jiang Qi once saying that most of his life was lived like a dog. He would rather have everyone fear him than let anyone bully him.

Even though everyone feared him, Zhi Qi was not afraid.

Unfortunate people spend their entire lives healing from childhood, and Zhi Qi wanted to heal Jiang Qi with her own efforts. She would make a promise to him on the rooftop of the school, where he brought her to the top: "Jiang Qi, take care. When I reach the legal age, I can marry you."

The boy's response was a faint smile, his gaze clear and clean like the stars in the sky, filled with rare yearning for the future.

Zhi Qi didn't know that a simple promise saved Jiang Qi's life, pulling him out of hell.

Unfortunately, 'redemption' has an expiration date. When the clock strikes twelve for Cinderella, he remains the sick dog with nothing.

A crazy boy, and all the sweet names in his obscure life are called 'Zhi Qi'. <<less

“You’ll never find him.”

Her husband turned out to be the best secret agent with many faces.

When she revived and reappeared before everyone, her beauty was peerless and shocked them all.

The one person that Mo Jingxuan hated more than anyone was Xiao Ying. He had grown up with him, but once they reached the age of twenty, Xiao Ying had imprisoned him and forcibly occupied him day and night. It was only once he was gone though, that Mo Jingxuan realized that the person who cared for him the most was Xiao Ying, despite him never returning the sentiments. ... more>>

So when he was deceived and framed by his half brother and his body was dumped in the forest, what made Mo Jingxuan the most resentful was not his trusted brother, but rather not being able to see Xiao Ying again….

Maybe because he had too much resentment, or maybe he died wronged enough for even the heavens to take notice, but god mercifully gave Mo Jingxuan a chance to be born again–two chances even.

...............

Mo Jingxuan twisted his black whisp of a body as he grieved, “How much better would it have been to be born with flesh and blood instead of as a shadow, unable to even be touched…” <<less

She possessed a villainess who is known and hated for her evil acts in an unpopular novel. But because of her personality, it was extremely difficult for her to play the villainess role. But not for long…... more>>

“I’ll fix your dress according to your taste this instant!”

“My request.”

“O-Of course! As per your request, there’s only one piece available in the whole Empire.”

People around me listen to me well even if I just frown and sit still. Since I don’t have to live in difficulty, I decided to just comfortably live on as a villainess.

“Father. Is it necessary for you to solve formulas in this slow and inefficient way?”

I thought it would be good to be a rich villainess, so I used all my knowledge.

“Why don’t you give me the honor of escorting the Princess?”

I have had enough of dealing with my father, so why did an unexpected character suddenly appear? What if this person disrupts my plan? <<less

She was an empress who had been immersed in the inner palace for thirty years, yet she died silently in the cold palace.... more>>

When she opened her eyes again, she had become the well-regarded wife of a prominent household.

Yan Dai stared at her rival in confusion and asked little uncle: "I'm the official wife. As long as I'm still here, she's just a concubine even if she enters the door. How dare she overstep her bounds and make trouble for me? Does she want to die?"

Huo Shaojie, deceased.

Yan Dai looked at her sister-in-law innocently: "Give birth? Since she's a concubine, the children born to a concubine should be raised by me, the official wife. Why would I torture myself by giving birth?"

Sister-in-law, deceased.

Yan Dai looked at Huo Shaoting, holding a small notebook and earnestly asking him: "Husband, how many concubines are you planning to take? Let me make some plans for you..."

Huo Shaoting: "???"

What is taking concubines when you already have a wife? <<less

In the icy embrace of the snow, a woman teetered on the brink of death, accused of practicing witchcraft, a perceived menace to her own kind.... more>>

In that dire moment, a figure resembling the Grim Reaper materialized, swift and decisive, whisking her away to his foreboding castle.

This savior, none other than Kennard, bore the ominous moniker “The Black Wolf Who Devoured the Devil.” Discovering the woman’s memory loss, he bestowed upon her a name and a sanctuary within his castle’s walls.

Elena found herself ensnared in Kennard’s grasp, an unusual exception in a world marred by frigidity and cruelty.

Oblivious to her own identity, she forfeited self-concern, living at his side, ensnared by the potent scent he exuded, and ensnared within his fervent fixation.

Yet, amidst her fear, Elena began to experience a myriad of emotions she dared not acknowledge.

She dared not nurture these burgeoning emotions.

As fate would have it, Kennard’s betrothed soon arrived at the castle, and Elena, desperate to escape the grip of her burgeoning emotions for him, contemplated her exit…

‘I want to travel to a place unknown to the many…’... more>>

It was a passing wish to the weary and tired Eugene and she’d not think it’d ever come to pass… but it did.

She opened her eyes and found she was sent to a novel-like world she wrote in passing and became Jin Anika, the scorned queen notorious for her ruthlessness and undeserving of her status.

Queen Jin only sought and desired to see the destruction of this world — the villainess who met her untimely and miserable end at the hands of her husband, Kasser, the reigning king of the Fourth Kingdom.

While struggling to survive in the unknown world, King Kasser visited Eugene and demanded that a contract be fulfilled and come to fruition.

“Three years ago, we made a deal.”

It turns out the Queen was under a contractual marriage with King Kasser. The ultimate price? To bear him a child.

“A… a child?”

“Yes, my successor.” <<less

Collection of short stories.

It was an exceptionally ordinary day, so unremarkable that Fang Chen couldn’t even recall what he had for breakfast that morning.... more>>

Like any other day, he went through the routine of washing up, having a meal, leaving for work, and returning home in the evening to organize files. However, everything changed when he heard strange noises outside just before going to sleep. He opened the door, and from that moment, everything became different.

A man with a rotting body, peculiar creatures that preyed on humans, a helpless middle-aged couple lying in a pool of blood, and an elite white-collar worker being consumed by their own pet… and that man who seemed to be following him everywhere.

This city wasn’t safe; they had to escape from here.

“I will always stay with you, right by your side.”

“Please, kill me.”

“Don’t be afraid.”

“I can't remember who are you… I… Was I the one who killed you?”

They had committed a sin, and so the punishment began. <<less

Cesare Traon Karl Erzet, the Imperial Commander-in-Chief.... more>>

After three years of service in the war, he returned to propose to Eileen.

Eileen struggled to believe that Cesare’s marriage proposal was sincere.

After all, from the moment they met when she was ten,

The affectionate man had always treated her like a child.

“I don’t—I don’t want to marry Your Highness.”

For so long, her love for him was unrequited.

She did not wish for their marriage to be a transaction.

Was it because of the long war?

The man, who was normally cool and rational, had changed.

His impulsive actions, his unbridled desire for her—they were all too unfamiliar.

“This should only be done with someone you love!”

“You can also do it with the person you plan to marry.”

Eileen was intrigued by this change.

And yet, the closer she became with Cesare…

She discovered things that defied reason or logic.

Eileen learned about her husband’s many evil deeds not long after.

“I couldn’t even have your body, Eileen.”

Everything he did was for her.

He became the villain, only for his Eileen. <<less

When Yu Nian ran away from home at the age of eighteen, he was briefly taken care of by a handsome guy.... more>>

The handsome guy was named Qi Wang, only a year older than him, aloof and taciturn, mature and stable, the only flaw being a bit easy to deceive.

Yu Nian said his parents had died early, his family had fallen on hard times, and his siblings were harsh, and Qi Wang believed it all.

At first, he was impatient with Yu Nian, but later, he would spend hours waiting in line with him on winter nights to buy candied chestnuts and accompany him to set off fireworks by the sea in the late night.

Yu Nian unilaterally declared that he had found true love, and when his siblings came to take him home, he stubbornly refused to break up.

“I’ll elope with him tomorrow! Beating me won’t work!”

Yu Nian declared firmly.

But as expected, the unreliable Qi Wang disappeared, leaving Yu Nian determined but alone.

Actions speak louder than words about who is easy to deceive.

In the midnight reverie, Yu Nian often thought of this person with hatred, wishing for nothing but misfortune and poverty to befall him.

But eight years later, this person not only did not fall into ruin, but also became a rising star in the art world, appearing once again before him.

They met at a charity gala.

They politely and distantly extended their hands, as if meeting for the first time, exchanging casual pleasantries.

But the hands held together were burning hot, and their hearts beat restlessly.

‘It would be better to be reborn in the world of a novel.’... more>>

Was it wrong to make such a crazy wish when I was exhausted from overwork? I was truly reborn through the fantasy novel , which I had read before. An ordinary lady with a wonderful older sister, a cute younger brother, and a kind childhood friend wants only one thing.

If possible, I just wanted to see my favorite character in real life at least once.

“Marry me, Lady Devlanc.”

A duel between the crazy villain who has tormented the main character for over a thousand episodes. No, I sent a marriage application.

“If you don’t like it, push it away. “It’s okay if you kick me.” “Other than eating, there are other things I want to eat.”

The sight of my favorite character, who has become so infatuated with me, feels so unfamiliar to me.

“Didn’t you say you like me?”

I like him, I really like him, but I didn’t want to meet him like this. The turbulent newlywed life of Lady Freesia, who unexpectedly falls for the world. <<less

Although she was an innocent woman who did not know the world, Rowena fell into a love trap and became the mistress of Duke Killian.... more>>

She devoted her body and mind to him for three years, but she was thrown away with repeated contempt and misunderstanding.

After five years, he returned like nothing ever happened.

“Long time no see. Miss Philone.”

“… … Don’t you remember throwing money at me and throwing me away?”

“I threw it away, so I have to pick it up.”

“I didn’t expect that you would be so quick, but in the meantime, it must have been sweet.”

Until one day, he falls from a horse in a remote forest.

He is rescued by the woman he has been searching for, Ella.

"Are you awake? What's your name?"

But she couldn't remember him due to her amnesia. Not his past words nor his harsh actions.

"I can start over with her."

Caldrix agrees to stay at her cabin, keeping his identity hidden, in hopes of repairing a relationship that has left him with nothing but regret.......

"Fortunately, you've regained consciousness, so I can get the medical expenses paid.”

“Would you like to starve yourself first so you don’t do anything foolish?”

The once wealthy and powerful Ryuuzen clan has been all but destroyed. Their misfortune began in 1960, when a majority of the family was wiped out when their vacation villa was buried under a landslide. However, search and rescue teams discovered something even more shocking: A majority of the bodies they discovered showed obvious signs of having been mu*dered before the landslide.... more>>

As though it were a trigger, what came to be known as "The Curse of the Ryuuzen Clan" spread throughout the descendants of the family's only survivor. By mu*der, by su*cide, by accident... it seemed none who held the name "Ryuuzen" could live to see the age of 35, and now, the family has been reduced to a single woman, lying in a hospital bed, days away from death.

Kamo Touma was once just another of the endless parade of sleazy tabloid journalists looking to exploit a prominent family's tragedy to sell magazines, but Ryuuzen Rena's kindness melted his frozen heart, driving him to quit his old job and become an investigative journalist specializing in overturning cases of false arrest. Eventually, he and Rena were married, but now, the curse threatens to steal away their happiness.

Kamo prays for a miracle, and his prayers are answered by the Hourglass of Miracles, an artifact spoken of in rumors and urban legends, said to grant one wish to anyone who obtains it.

"Meister Hora", a guide for those who obtain the hourglass, tells Kamo there is only one way to break the curse and save Rena: He must travel back in time to the year 1960 and catch the culprit of the original Ryuuzen Family massacre.

Who was the culprit of the mu*ders that took place almost 60 years ago? Why did they steal away the lives of the Ryuuzen clan? What is the true nature of the "Curse of the Ryuuzen Clan?" And perhaps most mysteriously of all... What is Meister Hora's goal in all this?

Post-apocalyptic World, Monster Invasion.... more>>

Monsters, strange phenomena, and disasters are constantly looming… Humans struggle in agony on the edge of life and death every day.

—Ye Yunfan woke up in such a world.

Upon opening his eyes, the whole world was dark and gloomy, with towering waves that made it seem as if it was the end of the world.

At that moment, Ye Yunfan realized he had transformed into a small, palm-sized pink octopus.

…Although not human, at least he wouldn’t drown.

However, in the next second, countless terrifying monsters roared and crawled out of the huge waves. They opened their bloody mouths wide like sacrificial bowls, exposing their sharp teeth.

Ye Yunfan: !!!

The little octopus immediately turned its head, and its eight small tent**les turned into propellers.

In this critical moment, someone suddenly descended from the thunderclouds a hundred meters high and, with one stroke of his knife, cut the monster in half.

Cut.in.half!!!

Ye Yunfan: “…..?”

—This guy is the real monster.

Before he could finish complaining to himself, he was lifted up by the guy using the back of the blade. The youth with heterochromatic eyes stared at him for a long time, tilting his head in confusion.

“Pink…jellyfish?”

Ye Yunfan: …It’s an octopus!

It’s a small pink octopus!!!

Yuan Ye is the most powerful, gifted ability user in history, but he suffers from a severe phobia of physical contact. As a result, he wraps himself up tightly all year round, even wearing two layers of gloves.

His therapist suggested that he first find something similar to human touch to adapt to. So Yuan Ye searched for a long time and finally caught a small jellyfish to try it out. Unfortunately——

“The little jellyfish had too few tent**les, only eight.”

Baby octopus Ye Yunfan: “…”

However, the little jellyfish did have a miraculous effect, and Yuan Ye’s illness was finally cured.

It’s just that the effect of the medicine was a bit too strong, causing him to develop a craving for the touch of tent**les.

Ye Yunfan: “……” I said it’s an octopus!
