In the previous life, Chu Qiao had been obeying her father at home and her husband after she was married. She worked hard and never complained. She was lying on the operating table when she had difficult labor. Her mother-in-law, her husband, and her stepchildren all gave up on her, one body with two lives.... more>>

Back at the age of 21, she had not married the selfish and vicious ex husband. But her stepmother tried every means to force her to marry for benefits. Chu Qiao wanted to be independent, so she had to register her hukou in the city. But her stepmother kept forcing her to marry. When she was desperate, Gu Ye, the hot-tempered uncle of her ex-husband, jumped out to propose marriage.

“Marry me, and let that dead calf call you aunt!”

Chu Qiao’s heart was moved. When she thought that her ex-husband was a generation younger than her, and would never be able to raise his head in front of her. She was inexplicably happy, she thought it was okay to get married.

Gu Ye had been a bully since he was a child. Others said that he was not close with women. It was estimated that he would be a bachelor his whole life. But no one knows that Gu Ye had three good requirements— slender waist, delicate feet, and baby voice.

Every cell of Chu Qiao grew into his heart. She was a tailor-made wife for him by God. Whatever you say, you have to turn home. Other men can go as far as possible! <<less

I’m a fake bride.... more>>

Diello Argenta’s name engraved on my back indicated that I was his soulmate… but I was a fake.

One day, I possessed the unscrupulous villainess’ body inside an adult novel.

Is there any way I could survive?

…Contract marriage!

I’ll be his wife and act the part to protect his purity until the real one appears. So when the Duke of Argenta awakens his power, he will destroy my villainous family.

While becoming a fake couple with the innocent Diello Argenta, acting sweet day and night…

“If your soulmate appears, it’s time to end the contract.”

Hearing that, Diello, the Duke of Argenta, gave me a long look.

“When a Ferro dies, a new Ferro will be assigned.”

As he grabbed the tip of my chin, the distance between us shortened.

“…I’ll kill them until it’s you.”

What’s with him?

Out of nowhere, he started obsessing over me.

Wasn’t he supposed to be a pure and sweet guy?! <<less

In a school where dating is forbidden, we decided to become fake lovers.

I was reincarnated into a sweet potato romance fantasy novel destined for a ‘Merry Bad Ending’ full of mutual misunderstandings.... more>>

And as the older sister of the overpowered villainess who destroys the kingdom, no less.

Being reincarnated is frustrating enough, but to be fated to die caught up in the kingdom’s destruction!

Moreover, the family I was reincarnated into was a dysfunctional one that constantly ab*sed and neglected the villainess.

‘There’s no choice. I’ll have to raise her properly myself.’

Once my well-raised little sister becomes an adult, we’ll escape hand-in-hand to another country.

It’s absolutely not because she’s cute…!

But something’s strange.

I keep getting entangled with a peculiar man who wasn’t even in the original story…?

* * *

“I believe you’re a good person, Seria.”

“…Is it all right to trust someone so readily? Especially for someone who’s the head of a noble family.”

At that, the man’s eyes crinkled as he smiled.

At a glance, it was a gentle smile that could make angels weep, but in a way, it was an excessively benevolent smile that hinted at ulterior motives.

“I don’t trust others. I only trust you and my own judgment.”

His words felt profoundly meaningful, as if he had been observing me for a long time.

What on earth is this man up to? <<less

「I want you to go out with me!! Even if it's on the premise that we'll break up right away!」... more>>

A love where a man and a woman, who don't even know each other's names, are drawn to each other by chance──

The so-called boy-meets-girl.

That is the ideal romance that I──Saeki Tatsurou, am pursuing.

I'm still waiting for the day when I can encounter such a love, even now that I'm a university student.

One day in early summer, my childhood friend, Chiho, suddenly said, "I want you to go out with me". And on the premise of breaking up.

There's no way I can listen to such a ridiculous story that's just influenced by manga.

However, the compensation offered was quite attractive...

Just pretending to be dating… that much, well...

When I reluctantly started pretending to be lovers with Chiho, Rinka, who lives next door, "Become my fake boyfriend" she asked me.

Apparently, she's been stalked by a strange man lately.

I'm indebted to Rinka for many things, and if possible, I'd like to help her.

...Wait, I've been longing for a fateful love, but haven't I become like a two-timing s*umbag! ?

No, that's not it! I'm just pretending to be lovers with both of them!

This kind of thing may not be so bad... I'm not thinking that!

There's no way I'd call this love.

I will overcome these pretend-lovers with my childhood friends and absolutely reach my ideal love──! <<less

Agnes Le Verges was a beautiful, haughty, Earl’s daughter.... more>>

Called high society’s resplendent rose, she was an unobtainable goal.

On the other hand, the poor noble knight, Bernard, who held a grudge against Agnes for her sneering and scorn at his upbringing and pedigree.

Five years after that awful meeting, Agnes’ house suddenly fell into ruin. Her father’s scandals were the cause.

Everyone around her was cold-hearted towards her and the only one who held a hand out to Agnes, who had lost everything, was Bernard.

He said that if she worked as a servant, he would provide all of the necessities.

Watching Agnes accept the proposal, Bernard snickered to himself.

Transmigrated into a city fusion novel, I became a desperate simp, ridiculed and scorned by the female leads. But luck was on my side—I obtained the "Heroine Slap System," granting me rewards for every slap I landed on a heroine’s face.... more>>

The cold, aloof CEO who only acknowledges the protagonist? Slap!

The ruthless crime queen who melts in front of the protagonist? Slap!

The pure-hearted school beauty, willing to sacrifice herself for the protagonist? Slap!

The busty but brainless policewoman, the delicate little princess, and the famous actress with millions of fans? All these women with their twisted logic—I’ll slap, slap, slap!

As for the top-tier soldiers, miracle doctors, immortal emperors, and treasure hunters watching, they looked on in disbelief at the heroines, who were now vying to marry Yang Lu. They cried out in frustration, "Are you all insane? How could you want to marry him? He slapped you all!" <<less

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I prepared a table full of dishes, waiting for my wife, Lin Muyao, to come home and celebrate together.... more>>

However, she sent me a message saying, "Hubby, I promised my parents I'd go home to celebrate with them. You eat by yourself, okay? Next year, I’ll definitely spend Mid-Autumn Festival with you."

But her first love had already posted on his social media moments earlier—not only did he share a nine-grid collage of the two of them, but he also added a caption: "True love means that even if you can't be together, your hearts will always remain connected."

Lin Muyao not only lied to me but also liked his post.

I ate my meal in silence, then casually left a comment: "Wishing you both a happy ending."

The next moment, Lin Muyao called me, her voice urgent and sincere as she explained, "Hubby, I didn’t mean to lie to you. I was just afraid you’d be upset... I just felt sorry for Wang Chuan being alone..."

I let out a soft scoff and, for the first time, hung up on her first.

Since her heart and mind were entirely focused on her first love, I chose to let go and give them my blessing.

Yet, when I no longer loved her, she was the one who regretted it the most... <<less

The kingdom’s top academy, open only to nobles, had never been a welcoming place for someone like me—a broke noble barely scraping by.... more>>

It was a gathering spot for highborn sons and daughters.

The unspoken rule was that students were there to find marriage partners who had the right face and status.

So someone like me, who actually came to study, always felt out of place.

Still, I kept attending the academy—for one simple reason: money.

Graduating from the most prestigious school in the kingdom would boost my reputation, helping me land a better job.

All to support my family… and more importantly, to keep my little sister from being forced into a marriage she didn’t want.

No matter how tough things got, I had no choice but to keep going.

But even with all that determination, there were times I just wanted to be alone.

One day, while wandering the vast academy grounds in search of peace and quiet, I stumbled into a rose garden.

That’s where I met her—

A beautiful girl with silver hair and blue eyes. And then, completely out of the blue, she made me an unexpected offer:

“In that case… how about we enter into a fake engagement?”

I agreed, thinking it would be a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Only later did I learn that she was Yuliana Arrose, the one and only daughter of a duke in the entire academy.

And for some reason… she started enjoying this fake relationship a little too much.

“Fufu. Since you’re my fiancé now, you can be more affectionate with me, you know?”

Wait… this is still a fake engagement… right? <<less

Are handsome men the South’s specialty? Obsession seems to be a basic requirement!... more>>

I’ve possessed Callia Rabius, the villainess from the romance fantasy novel .

Although I’m already isolated from high society, it’s even better since I don’t need to socialize!

I was planning to retreat to the countryside in the South and fully enjoy the life of a wealthy recluse, but….

The naval admiral’s secret, hidden behind a facade of germaphobia: a curse that drains the life force of those he touches.

I accidentally revealed that I know about its existence!

“Please spare me! I’ll ensure no one, man or woman, comes near you!”

To survive, I proposed a contract relationship to the admiral.

With my reputation already in tatters, I offered to become the embodiment of jealousy and keep people at bay.

“How dare you touch my man?”

But as I’m doing it, it seems to suit me surprisingly well?

***

I was living so diligently like that, but something felt off.

“When will I go back, you ask? Not until you show your ugly true colors again.”

The sub-male lead duke from the original story, who once threw the engagement cancellation letter in my face, keeps coming to pick fights.

“The men standing beside you may change, but I will always be behind you, my lady.”

The once cold-hearted butler now declares his lifelong service.

“I’ve never wished more for my hands not to be hands that kill people.”

The admiral, my contract lover, carelessly makes such confessions.

“Calia, pain is temporary, but love is eternal. Why are you running away?”

The mad monarch of the pirates kidnaps me, locks me up, and spouts nonsense.

I just wanted to secure an easy life, but why does it seem like I’m getting further and further from a peaceful existence? <<less

[1v1] [No System] [Marriage Before Love] [Serious] ... more>>

A hardworking office worker unexpectedly transmigrates into a novel as Shen Xi, the villainous supporting female character.

The original Shen Xi was a wealthy heiress who had returned to China and entered a contract marriage with Gu Hanling, a powerful heir of an elite family. However, she remained obsessed with the novel’s male lead, Shi Jingyan.

As the villainous supporting character, her fate was tragic. Abandoned by the Gu family and ultimately destroyed by the male and female leads' revenge.

Now that Shen Xi has taken over this body, she has no intention of repeating the same mistakes.

Upon learning about the contract, which only requires her to stay out of Gu Hanling’s way—

(Shen Xi: "That’s perfect! (°∀°)b")

—She realizes that all she needs to do is act as a decorative wife for two years and walk away with a hefty fortune.

So, in front of Gu Hanling, she continues the act of being infatuated with the male lead.

Meanwhile, in public, she distances herself from Shi Jingyan and maintains the perfect image of a dignified Mrs. Gu.

Her goal? Stay far, far away from the troublesome male and female leads who are destined to ruin her life.

But things don’t go as planned.

Even worse, the supposedly indifferent and cold Gu Hanling starts looking at her in a way that feels... off.

One night, when Shen Xi returned to the villa and had just stepped through the door, she was suddenly pinned against the wall by a drunken Gu Hanling.

"What are you doing?? You’re drunk?!"

She tries to push him away, but he doesn’t budge.

"I don’t care who you are. If you go looking for Shi Jingyan again… I’ll make the Shi family disappear."

...Huh???

Huh?! Σ(°Д° ) <<less

Just as Lin Chuan was woken up by his little maid, he realized that he had transmigrated into a wealthy, handsome villain in an urban power-fantasy novel.... more>>

By making choices that followed the plot, he could earn rewards.

At first, he planned to stay away from all dangerous elements, obediently inherit his trillion-dollar fortune, enjoy the life of a rich and handsome tycoon, and steadily accumulate system rewards—all while avoiding being killed by the so-called "Destined Protagonist," the infamously grinning Dragon King.

However, he soon made a shocking discovery—every single original heroine in this novel world actually had a system of their own?! <<less

Wang Muchen transmigrated into the role of a villainous demon emperor, and the final climax was approaching.... more>>

The male protagonist was in closed-door cultivation, having nearly mastered his divine technique and consolidating his cultivation.

All righteous cultivators had formed an alliance, and his own subordinates were secretly betraying him.

At this point, it seemed that turning the situation around was impossible, and he could only await his death.

After careful consideration, Wang Muchen discovered a potential breakthrough: the female leads who also carried a portion of the destiny.

So he approached the female leads.

When the male protagonist emerged from closed-door cultivation after mastering his divine technique, he was shocked to find that all the female leads had changed their allegiance.

"Why?" asked the male protagonist.

The female lead responded, "You are a good person, but I love Wang Muchen."

Wang Muchen said, "I'm sorry, I've already rejected her, but she insists on marrying me, and I have no choice. I can only marry them all." <<less

Iona, the knight who was the loyal dog of the tyrant Emperor, gave her life for him. But her lord, whom she trusted, abandoned her in the end, and the person who stood by her side in her death was no other than her husband.... more>>

“I want to kiss you one last time.” Iona demanded on the verge of death.

“I’m telling you in advance… Just in case… You won’t die and this won’t be our last kiss.”

Satisfied with her non-lonely death, she closed her eyes.

When Iona woke up again, she realized that she had returned to the past and her husband was again chosen to be her partner.

Though her past wasn’t good, one thing she also didn’t want to change was her husband, the only success in her life. If so, she should at least turn this marriage into a ‘successful marriage’, she decided.

“Lord Leroy, I will formally propose to you; Please marry me. I will definitely make you happy.”

Iona was determined to repay her husband for his generosity. Just the way she wanted. <<less

Jiang Feng, a top-tier "sea king" and a powerful figure in the infinite worlds, had just completed a series of missions in the infinite loop. But suddenly, his system shifted gears!... more>>

Now, he needed to enter various small worlds and become the deeply resented villain in each one. These villains were the obstacles in the paths of the male and female leads—sacrificial lambs on the road to their love stories.

The final fate of these villains was always tragic, and now Jiang Feng had become one of them.

The system initially thought that the host would only be able to fulfill the original character's wishes. But what happened next was beyond ridiculous.

[A stunning beauty and superstar hands over all her cards—"Jiang Feng, I... I like you. As long as you're with me, all of this is yours."]

[A pure-hearted campus belle and senior can't hold back her feelings—"Junior, I want to talk to you about a relationship."]

[The heroic female city lord in a zombie world presents the City Lord's Token with both hands—"Jiang Feng! As long as you marry me, the City Lord's Token is yours! I want to be your wife."]

The system was dumbfounded.

Its host was way too impressive. <<less

In front of Seoyoon, whose smooth face was slightly scrunched in humiliation from the sudden rush of shame, Kijung opened his mouth as if he couldn’t care less about his thoughts.

“I have something I’d like to suggest to you today, Seoyoon.”

“……”

“Have you ever considered letting someone else handle that whip?”

Silence followed.

Seoyoon couldn’t immediately respond.

Before deciding whether he liked or disliked the suggestion, he couldn’t even understand what he meant by it.

As if had already anticipated Seoyoon’s blank reaction, Kijung continued.

“You said there are times when you want to feel pain, right?”

Seoyoon nodded.

There was still a contradiction in saying he wanted to feel pain, but since he couldn’t explain his own habit clearly, it wasn’t something he could argue against.

What caught his attention was the man's next words.

“I like causing pain.” <<less

“I hope you act properly.”

“Properly?”

“I mean treat me as if you cherish me more than anything in the world.”

“Ha.”

As expected, a chuckle escaped Luette Trovill.

“That shouldn’t be too difficult for you…”

Solnia swallowed her words and looked up at the shadow cast over her. Luette Trovill had approached and was looking down at her. As Solnia was captivated by his unreadable eyes, his hand touched her face. Cold fingers pressed against the lower lip she had been unconsciously biting.

“You can’t even endure my touch, so I wonder how you expect me to treat you with such devotion.”

“You can’t even hold out.”

Can this contractual marriage truly meet its end smoothly? <<less

One day, as she lived in constant fear of being sold by her family for money, her brother accrued another debt and sold her as a nude model to a suspicious man. The man she met through this unfortunate event made her a dangerous proposal: to become his fake wife.

"I heard you say you'd repay the favor you owe me yesterday, is that correct?"

"Yes, that's right."

After her compliant response, he paused briefly before replying in a low voice, "Then, may I collect that debt in my own way?"

With those words, he swiftly removed his vest and shirt. Georgiana's mouth fell open as she watched him become half-naked in an instant. She had anticipated his muscular physique from his exposed arms and veins while he was painting, but his bare torso was even more impressive.

His broad shoulders and the wide chest beneath them were covered in taut muscles, leaving no part of him that wasn't firm. Especially his abs, which were sharply defined and sculpted, seemed impenetrable by any weapon. As she stared in a daze, forgetting to look away, he approached her and leaned down as if seeking permission.
