“Sin… it’s a word that suits me, not you.”... more>>

A mesmerizing low-pitched voice rang into my ears. It sounded heavy and deep as if it came from a cave.

It was a devilish baritone, like a deep rumble from a cavern. Lily didn’t seem to notice how it sounded like he was restraining his anger.

This was the first time she heard his voice.

“Tell me. Who were you mourning for until our wedding day today?”

Lily wore a plain black dress that covered her from neck to toe in uncomfortable and unsightly fabric. Even if she really was mourning, the outfit was just too excessive.

“Is it for your first husband who died during the war? Or is it for your second husband who died recently?”

“It’s not like that. I’m really… Ah!”

He turned her over until she was on all fours. A hand mercilessly slid into her dress. The sound of the stiff fabric crumpling accompanied her scream.

It was obvious what a touch to the inner thigh meant. Tension and fear curled in her gut as the duke firmly held her by her hair, causing her to look up and see the sacred artefacts and statues on the wall. Her conscience flinched.

Lily shut her eyes and his voice pierced through like a punishment once again.

“Or were you thinking about your third husband’s―my―death?”

Duke Vladislav de Winter. And as of today, Lily’s third spouse.

They were supposed to be having their wedding in this very chapel.

Lily was unable to answer his question as his fingers unexpectedly dug into the apex of her thighs. Thick, calloused fingers spread her flesh and brushed against a particularly sensitive spot.

Electricity coursed through her body. <<less

Suddenly, she’s unfairly accused of attempting to assassinate another saint candidate.

A botched rescue mission with an unknown objective cost Zhou Yu his team members, while leading him progressively closer to the multinational biotech corporation Juli’s research core.... more>>

In order to protect his botanist younger brother Zhou Qing, Zhou Yu accepted employment under the Juli Corporation, and is dispatched to a parallel world—Nibelungen.

Nibelungen’s biological systems are completely different from the world Zhou Yu is from. To live in this place, Zhou Yu must follow three great laws:

The first law, fear is the sign of the hunted, so you must never show fear.

The second law, the more beautiful an organism is, the more dangerous they are. Do not approach them, and do not trust them.

The third law, do not be misled by the mimicry of S rank organisms. They understand your mind, and they know how to entice you. Always remember that they have no human emotions or love. All humans are no exception to them.

Finally: We wish everyone can live happily in Nibelungen. <<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

I became an extra who married the greatest villain in the world and gave birth to an obsessed maniac.... more>>

I thought I could divorce the villain and give birth to a son...

"Please divorce me. I will raise the child."

I couldn't understand why he seemed so angry when I requested a divorce. His clenched fists trembled uncontrollably.

"I promise I’ll never appear before you again."
"Where will you go?"
"I’ll leave the empire and go somewhere else..."

I wanted to say that I planned to leave the empire and run far away, where I would never see him again, but I couldn't.

"If you go somewhere else, I will erase that place from the map."
"......"
"If you go to another man, I will kill him."

So, you.

The Crown Prince is dead, and the Great Xuan Dynasty is in turmoil.... more>>

The rebel army is at the gates.

To stabilize the situation and uncover the cause of death of her twin elder brother, Zhao Yan, Princess Changfeng, has no choice but to disguise herself as a man and take on the role of the Eastern Palace Crown Prince, facing the wind and shedding blood.

On the night she enters the Eastern Palace, the Empress repeatedly admonishes her, “As the only prince of a different surname in this dynasty, the cunning Prince Su has controlled the court and the military for many years. His ambitious nature must not be underestimated!”

Hearing this, Zhao Yan feels like she’s walking on thin ice every day, her heart pounding.

Until one day, Zhao Yan is ambushed.

When she wakes up, everything is chaotic, and there, the powerful Prince Su, with his disheveled hair and half-dressed attire, looks at her with his dangerously handsome and slightly raised eyes.

This is bad!

Zhao Yan’s mind goes blank, and she turns to run.

In the next moment, her sash is caught.

Prince Su sneers and his voice carries a hint of displeasure, “Running away so soon, isn’t that improper?”

“The Little Crown Prince” with ink-black hair scattered and a pale face stammers, “I… I’m going to review the memorials.”

“Sure.”

The man leisurely hooks her hair strands, his voice low and hoarse, “As the Crown Prince reads memorials, I shall read the Crown Prince.”

——–

People used to say that the naturally rebellious and unruly Prince Su has changed his ways, no longer causing trouble or rebellion, but instead assisting the Crown Prince. He stays overnight in the Eastern Palace every day and even shares a bed with the Crown Prince.

Who would have thought that one day, it would be revealed that the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace is actually a girl disguised as a boy, causing turmoil in the court.

The whole court is in an uproar, and everyone speculates that Prince Su will seize this opportunity to overthrow the imperial power and take over.

However, during the court interrogation, Prince Su, draped in a black cloak, bows in front of the civil and military officials, reaching out to hold the delicate fingertips of the young girl.

“Don’t be afraid, let’s move forward.”

His voice is stern yet reassuring, as he calmly states, “If anyone dares to speak ill, I’ll kill them; if heaven obstructs, I’ll defy it.” <<less

Cha Min-jun was popular at school with his handsome appearance and affectionate personality. Even in Beta times, he appeared to be the ideal Alpha that everyone dreamed of.... more>>

One day, Na Do-hwa encounters Min-jun’s true identity. He was standing in the middle of a group of bloodied men, holding a blunt weapon, looking like he was crazy about killing.

“Did you see that?”

Do-hwa was terrified as he tried to escape but got caught. He wakes up with a fever after spending the night with him.

Do-hwa, who is scared of Min-jun, tries to get out of the situation by pretending to have amnesia, but...

“W, who are you?”

“This is so unfortunate, but we were meeting on the premise of marriage, and we were supposed to have a ceremony when you graduate.”

A meeting on the premise of marriage? Aren’t they just seonbae and hubae?

“We were also living together.”

Do-hwa just lived alone in a semi-bas**ent room. As if that weren’t bad enough, he manifests as a recessive Omega and is subjected to Min-jun’s unusual harassment.

Do-hwa wants to know what’s going on in his mind, so he pretends to be fooled by his crazy lies, but as the days go by, he finds himself in a situation where he wouldn’t be surprised if Min-jun had a child.

If he gets pregnant, he’ll be in trouble, but can he get away with it?

Do-hwa tries to keep his mind clear, but he’s still obsessed with him. Do-hwa wants to get away from Min-jun, but he doesn’t hate him.

Can Na Do-hwa be able to escape Cha Min-jun? <<less

Ji Zhen Tang first saw Zhong Yu Bai at her boyfriend's birthday banquet.
Amidst the clinking of glasses, the man sat calmly in the midst of swirling smoke, unruffled, quietly listening to the conversations around the table.
Her boyfriend leaned in to whisper to her, giving her a heads-up: "That's my third uncle, don't provoke him, I can't handle it."
On the same day of the birthday banquet, her boyfriend got drunk and embarrassed her in front of everyone.
Leaving the Zhong family mansion, she walked in the rain. Before long, an umbrella was held over her head, and Ji Zhen Tang looked back.
The person following her turned out to be the same uncle... more>> from earlier. The man smiled gently, with a comforting tone, "Let me walk you a bit."
-
Meeting her ex-boyfriend again at a friend's gathering, they were now former lovers.
Ji Zhen Tang overheard her ex-boyfriend's tone full of envy as he talked about his uncle, mentioning how Zhong Yu Bai bought a tea plantation in the prime land of the mountains and rivers for his little girlfriend.
People started gossiping, "Which woman is so lucky?"
Before anyone could finish their words, someone stepped in from outside. The man exuded an imposing aura, silencing the whole room.
Without paying attention to anyone else, Zhong Yu Bai walked straight to Ji Zhen Tang and gently embraced her.
"The feng shui of the mountains and rivers is suitable for begonias. Since she likes it, everything is negotiable."
-
Ji Zhen Tang had heard about Zhong Yu Bai from others, portraying him as a high-status, gentle and wealthy man. Mr. Zhong was perfect in every aspect, except for being too ruthless and not understanding the meaning of compassion.
But she had clearly seen it. When she was sick, he patiently brewed medicine for her by the stove, gently massaging her numb and painful hand until late into the night.
He spoke words of comfort in the softest and gentlest manner, afraid of troubling her.
"Does it still hurt?"

Zhong Yu Bai listened with a smile, his eyes full of affection as he gazed at his sparrow—

"She is a bird, and I am not her cage."

"I am her sanctuary." <<less

"Wait? Aren't these monsters kinda cute when you look closely?"

From then on, he abandons his duty of making monsters fight and, instead, finds purpose in life by raising 13 monsters to be as strong and beautiful as his students.

Ten years later, the monsters somehow transform into beautiful girls and are eager to repay Yuuto for his kindness. However, they've become highly obsessive Yandere fanatics due to the doting they've received from him for the past decade!

Furthermore, all 13 have become extremely rare and unique monsters, the strongest of their kind. Unbeknownst to Yuuto, their desire to repay him becomes a world-scale endeavor.

"Ah, I kind of want to go to the beach."
"As you wish, Master. It's difficult here... (I need to conquer the most beautiful beach on the continent right away)."
"Oh, that sounds good! (I have to bring the nearby monsters under my control too)." "Understood! I must prepare swimsuits (Ah! I must dedicate all the nearby beautiful women for my lord's beach outing)."

The moment I took the poison, realizing that all of this was a plan by my uncle's family and my husband.

"I'm back... Again..."

I returned to the past 13 years ago. With my experience as a Kingmaker who established my husband as an Emperor in a fierce battle for the throne, and with memories of everything that will happen in the future, I was shocked and realized.

God has granted my last request.

"Claudio."

All the glory given to my uncle will lose its luster.

She got stuck in the reverse harem that she used to play so well.... more>>

Not even as the main character, but as the villainess that she ridiculed every time.

“…What do I have to do to get back to reality?”

“*BEEP* and *BEEEEP* with the main characters? Or you can collect the endings by playing *BEEEEP*.”

Surprised by the helper’s explanation, she opened her mouth wide enough she didn’t even notice a bug went in.

‘*BEEP* and *BEEEEP*? It is a bit high-level, but it’s good,’ she thought.

It wasn’t surprising since the game was originally made to be women-oriented. But the problem was…

“Among the main characters, there isn’t one that even likes me! How do you *BEEP* when just by touching my fingertips they immediately wash their hands as if I am nothing but tr*sh?!”

The targeted characters of this game were male lead characters and villain haters at the same time. They didn’t like the character she was stuck in, but hated her to the core.

"That's up to you."

So, when they see her, should she hold on to men who were busy running away from her touch?

She thought it would’ve been better to die than be bothered with this level of difficulty. <<less

'I didn't mean I actually wanted to die!'

She was sure she had only fallen asleep and woken up, but when she came to her senses, she found herself a translucent body floating in mid-air.

How perplexing.

"Hey, can't you see me? You too, over there? ...Butler? Head maid?"

To her utter confusion, not only had four years passed since her death, but she had also become a ghost.

"...Oh my?"

-…

"Oh, oh my, it's true? ... it's true?"

Apparently, her ghostly form was only visible to her four-year-old son. Left with no choice, she initially pretended to be a guardian angel sent by his mother to watch over her son. However, upon observing the clear signs of neglect he had endured while being confined to the attic of the mansion, her heart sank.

As if that wasn't enough,

"My baby, how long have you been living here?"

-I'm not a baby...

“...Right. So, what's your name?"

"... Young Master?"

...He didn't even have a name at the age of four.

Had my f*cking husband lost his mind? When had he ever shown any genuine gratitude for me giving birth to our child?

She vowed to give her husband, who was currently away on business, a piece of her mind when he returned. She would avenge the suffering her son had endured.

With that thought in mind, she gritted her teeth. But then she noticed...

'...What on earth is that?'

His once handsome face was now gaunt and haggard, with dark circles etched beneath his sharp, piercing eyes.

She was shocked by the stark difference from the last time she had seen him.

-I can't quite remember how your voice sounded anymore...
