One day, Yu Bai transmigrated into a prehistoric era dominated by orcs.... more>>

In this wild and untamed world, male beasts were powerful, female beasts were rare, and as a sub-female, he was the most insignificant and easily overlooked type of "orc." Surviving was no easy task.

After a violent storm and a beast tide swept through the land, Yu Bai rescued a gravely injured giant from the ruins.

Using his dwindling supply of medicine, he treated the giant’s wounds and fed him, pulling him back from the brink of death.

He swore that he only did it out of sudden compassion, definitely not because the other party was good-looking.

Huo Duo’er nearly lost his life in a fierce beast tide while protecting his tribe.

He was saved by a sub-female. This sub-female did not despise his injuries from head to toe, nor did he abandon him because he was blind.

One day, as Huo Duo’er's facial wounds and eyesight gradually healed and he finally saw the sub-female’s appearance.

Under the sunlight, the small sub-female was basking in the warmth, his crescent-shaped eyes curving into a smile.

It was said that sub-females were the most unremarkable among orcs, but to Huo Duo'er, the little sub-female before him was more captivating than any female beast.

A new announcement spread throughout the orc world: any male beast who formed a bond with a female would be granted a plot of land in the orc city.

Yu Bai was tempted.

Life in the wild was incredibly unstable—houses painstakingly built and crops newly planted could be destroyed at any moment by a rampaging beast tide.

In order to secure a plot of land in the city, Yu Bai sought out the giant he had rescued and asked if they could fake a bond—after all, they could share the land once they obtained it.

Huo Duo’er agreed.

Yu Bai then laid down three ground rules:

1. All resources obtained after bonding would be shared.

2. No bedroom obligations, sleeping separately would be ideal.

3. If either of them developed feelings for another male or female beast in the future, the bond could be dissolved.

After the contract bond was formed, Yu Bai finally had land, built a house, and no longer had to worry about hunger and cold. Life became more stable.

However, why did Huo Duo’er, the one he had always treated like a brother, hug him tighter in his sleep?

Weren’t they supposed to sleep separately?

One winter night, snow fell heavily outside the window.

Yu Bai looked at the handsome face just inches away and slowly pulled back the hand Huo Duo’er had wrapped around him.

Then he thought: Forget it, let him hold me. He’s afraid of the cold, and honestly, being held like this is quite warm.

Later, for some unknown reason, Huo Duo’er kissed him, his gaze deep and intense.

Yu Bai closed his eyes and kissed him back for a while, thinking: Forget it, let him kiss. My lips feel numb… and this sensation is actually… quite exciting. <<less

Ye Er first saw that female zerg in an advertis**ent. He was cheap, and significantly damaged, with only a pair of golden eyes that remained beautiful.... more>>

Later, when he saw him again, it was in the female s*ave exchange live broadcast, where he was trampled, his spine crushed, shamelessly humiliated, his eyes silently enduring the pain and embarrassment. Yet, he shed not even a single teardrop.

Later on, Ye Er picked up that dying female zerg back home.

Nursing the female zerg back to health was like repairing an old, rusty machine. He was severely mutilated, had lost his bone wings, was blinded in one eye, and had his legs broken, unable to walk.

Broken and tattered, completely lacking in value, silent yet sharp.

Ye Er cared for him like a stray dog he had picked up, changing bandages, feeding, caressing his head to appease, turning on the lights at night to drive away spasms and nightmares… striving to be a qualified keeper.

However, after continuous nursing, the female zerg who unknowingly grew powerful and returned to the peak of power, surrounded him with his newly grown bone wings, gently and cautiously with matchless devotion.

Five years after the war ended, the empire and the military welcomed back their “sacrificed” general, leading to a strong reshuffle, resulting in the dismissal of numerous noble military officers.

On the surface, the scene was of foul wind and blood rain, with fear and trepidation.

While the media was subtly pointing fingers at the arrogant and cold-blooded tyrant, the tyrant was wearing a soft pink warm apron, skillfully baking matcha cookies with a gentle expression as he called Ye Er to wash his hands before eating.

No one could have imagined that during the day, the general, who was violent and unparalleled, skillfully tearing mechas apart on the military training ground—

Would obediently open up his heart completely with his own hands, trembling all over, his eyes red and moist from being bullied, hoarsely voicing his forbearing affection.

“Sometimes, secrets we can’t fathom crawl through the shadows of London.”... more>>

The protagonist finds herself trapped in a horror VR game that was set in 19th-century London, a city teeming with crime. She wakes up in the body of Jane Osmond, the assistant to the cynical and socially awkward genius detective, Liam Moore.

Her goal is simple: reach the game’s ending and return safely to the real world. However, as she and Liam unravel the mysteries of their cases, the game’s features gradually disappear, and the world, which should be mere data, feels disturbingly real.

“Who am I?”

To make matters worse, her memories of her real-life self start to fade, plunging Jane into shock.

Then, she realizes one more unsettling truth: the gray eyes of Liam Moore, who is supposed to be just an NPC, are always fixed solely on her. <<less

To emphasize the villain’s evil before he meets his end at the protagonist’s hands, an extra is falsely accused by his own brother, Letiyan, and dies imprisoned in the duke’s castle. ... more>>

That was supposed to be Vivisian’s role.

But when Letiyan died, the original story was thrown into chaos.

After enduring relentless torture, Vivisian no longer wished to go on living.

He wanted death.

But the gods kept rewinding time, pulling him back just before he could die.

Then, just as he resigned himself even to death, he unexpectedly found himself sitting in the temporary duke’s seat—

And taking in a child.

"Take care of this baby for me."

"I’m not a baby! Don’t call me that!"

"Maybe it’s that awful temper of yours, but no matter what I do, your fever won’t go down."

For now, he decides to postpone his death.

Because he must find this child a real family.

Not a family as broken as his own.

Not the ones who stole everything from him.

A true family.

"Sia, I’ll find you a family."

* * *

Using his abilities, Vivisian safely returns Sia to his family.

And in the aftermath of his power running rampant, he believes this is finally the end for him.

He even thinks he might have smiled at the very last moment.

But when he opens his eyes again, he’s in his own room.

A damned god’s so-called kindness has granted him one more year.

And in the Patos Desert, he meets that child once again.

"Vivi, you were the one who said it first. If someone lets one thing slide, the other should do the same at least once."

"......."

"I watched you die right before my eyes. So now, it’s your turn to listen to my request. …Please."

The child, now grown, begs him to live by his side.

Because if Vivi saved him once, then his life belongs to him as well. <<less

More painful than the discreet inner turmoil that was currently tormenting me, his words were even more agonising.

“Forget everything and hate me, Julie.”

He had me captive for a long time.

I no longer cried, nor did I struggle.

He chewed me up and tore me apart. If he embraced me, I got f*cked.

Sena lived each day in agony, tormented by her husband, Kallion’s, infidelity.... more>>

Unable to endure the sight of the man who had changed so suddenly, she ultimately ended her life before his very eyes.

She thought she had finally escaped all the suffering.

But instead of eternal rest, what awaited her was another chance, a return to the past.

“From now on, I won’t care who Your Grace meets.”

“…What?”

“I mean, you’re free to meet anyone. Whether they’re blonde, silver-haired, or even naked. I don’t care.”

“That’s absurd.”

“But on one condition.”

A hollow laugh escaped his lips. His expression was one of disbelief, as if he had heard something utterly absurd.

“I’ll do the same.”

Her voice was unwavering, not a hint of hesitation to be found.

Callion’s usually straight, unyielding brows furrowed, creasing like crumpled parchment.

“And what exactly is that supposed to mean?”

“It means I intend to cheat as well.”

In a world where immortality and martial arts coexist, Qiao Mu can constantly come back to life.... more>>

Each time he is killed, he resurrects at the cost of getting older, but his martial arts skills also become deeper with age.

The more he dies, the older he gets, and the stronger he becomes. The more heroic his death, the stronger he becomes after resurrection.

So he finds different ways to court death, always seeking out danger.

The enemy is shocked to discover that just after defeating the young one, an old one has appeared, seemingly infinite in number.

A legend of an invincible immortal family starts to spread.

"The Qiao family is full of loyal and heroic individuals, generation after generation. They all detest evil and cherish righteousness, valuing honor over life, daring to lead the world!"

"After his son died on the battlefield, the father with white hair continues to go into battle. He is worthy of admiration and respect!"

"Once upon a time, the son protected me and died, so today I cannot simply watch his old father living a sad and lonely old age."

"The descendants of the Qiao family bravely entered the palace to assassinate the evil emperor, but failed and lost their lives. Is the emperor really so clueless? The mysterious thousand-year-old monster from the hidden Qiao family is about to appear!"

"Has the divine immortals and buddhas returned? But why do even those divine beings call the elders of the Qiao family "ancestors"? How many ancestors does the Qiao family have, and where did they come from?"

After countless deaths, Qiao Mu suddenly looked back and found himself to be an ancient ancestor of mankind, who had lived for millions of years and possessed immense power. <<less

This was what her ex-husband spat out in response to Therese’s request for a divorce.

But how did things end up like this?

In this second chance at life, she had promised herself never to fall in love again.

Yet her ex-husband had become utterly leech-like, refusing to let go.

“I assume you like my face.”

“I’d prefer to stay where you can see me.”

“I find myself getting jealous all the time.”

He would say these nonsensical things,

but Therese had no intention of repeating her foolish past.

She knew that the only end to this hellish marriage was death.

Nevertheless, her husband’s obsession continued endlessly.

Runaway espers, due to their unstable metrics, are like ticking time bombs that could go on a rampage again at any moment.

Shin Joo-hyun, who went on a rampage immediately upon manifestation and spent 11 years being used by the Association like a dog, lived a life far removed from guiding despite being an esper.

And you are the only one who knows me.”

Jiang Wu is a wandering soul who has roamed the earth for a thousand years. One day, he finds himself in a body, reincarnated as a historically infamous and deposed emperor who was beheaded after a coup.... more>>

Jiang Wu: Hmm...

Being an emperor, a position he finds nightmarish, Jiang Wu, with his depressed outlook on life, just wants to hand over the throne and quickly return to his ghostly state.

To speed up the rebellion of the Yin family, he summons the Yin family's eldest son to the palace to serve him. Immediately, the court is filled with outrage, and the Yin family almost storms the palace to skin him alive.

That night, Jiang Wu lazily demands humiliating tasks from the fiercely glaring Yin Wuzhi: "Hold me, feed me, and lull me to sleep."

Finished, he sends Yin Wuzhi off to review documents.

The next day, the humiliation continues: "Hold me, push me on a swing, lift me up high."

Finished, he sends Yin Wuzhi off to review documents.

On the third day, the demands escalate: "Hold me, kiss me, and squat down to listen to what I have to say."

Yin Wuzhi, staring at the lazy, slumped figure on the couch: .....

This is too much!!!

If this Laozi doesn't kill you, I won't be called Yin Wuzhi!!!

He furiously reviews documents.jpg

Then, a year passes, two years pass, and despite Jiang Wu's daily humiliations and forcing Yin Wuzhi to review documents, the throne becomes more secure, the people grow richer, and the empire prospers year by year.

According to my fate, I should have met my end by now, so why is everything still fine?

I am human. A human with free will, no different from those who are neither s*aves nor beasts. Remember. Even in this state, as long as you don't forget that fact, Yoo Jaha, you can always remain human.

Twenty-year-old Yoo Jaha suddenly opens her eyes in an unfamiliar world. It was truly a world where an extremely small privileged class monopolized all wealth, knowledge, and power. Without any power or knowledge, she had become a s*ave at the very bottom of the class system.

Her only goal is to safely return to her family and her original world. However, one day, she is singled out by a demon with purple eyes.

"Today, I'll use 'this one.'"

The Emperor - an absolute ruler who possesses powerful magical abilities that might appear only once in 1,000 years. A s*ave is nothing but an object. Just a tool to satisfy s*xual desires, yet 'this one' feels genuine shame at his words. Isn't it laughable that a mere s*ave feels such humiliation?

Although she's inadequate in many ways, for some reason, he can't take his eyes off her delicate fluttering eyelashes, wet with tears.

For the first time in a very long while, a genuine smile spread across his lips. <<less

In an era where the sea is drying up.

In a world where things have become more precious than people,

‘Bada’, who worked at ‘Oceans’, encounters an unexpected person.

It’s Joo Dohwa, the heir to the ‘Four Seas Group’ that monopolizes the sea.

“I’ll take that one. How much?”

A relaxed and slow gaze that turns to look at him.

Normally, they would never have met, given their different social classes.

But Joo Do-hwa, who came all the way here to buy a person, had only one request for Bada.

“I’ll call you ‘hyung’ (older brother). In return, you speak to me informally. How about it?”

A ‘hyung’ he briefly spent time with as a child, the one who disappeared after stealing something important from him—

He asked Bada to imitate that ‘hyung.’

“We’re playing a role. You’re the hyung, and I’m the younger brother.”

The time limit is until he loses interest.

As he said this, his golden eyes were filled with curiosity toward the stranger in front of him.

It wasn’t a difficult request. At least not for Bada.

‘He doesn’t seem to remember.’

Should I tell him? That I’m the one he’s looking for. <<less

Jiang Li transmigrated into a true and false daughter novel and became the cannon fodder in the book. On the first day of transmigrating, the wealthy parents came to the door and said that Jiang Li was their biological daughter who had been living outside for fifteen years.... more>>

According to the plot: Full of joy and anticipation, the novel Jiang Li went home with her parents, but found that the parents and brother only cared about the adopted daughter.

The elder brother also warned her more than once: My sister is not in good health, so don’t you dare make trouble with her.

Because the novel ‘Jiang Li’ was targeted everywhere by the female lead’s supporters, she was full of resentment and gradually became blackened.

Of course Jiang Li refused to follow the original plot, so she decided to find this body’s maternal grandfather.

After arriving at the Feng family, with the support of maternal grandfather and several older cousin brothers, Jiang Li suddenly became everyone’s favorite.

Only her youngest uncle Feng Qi had a cold face and was lukewarm to her.

But a month later, Feng Qi took her everywhere to show off: “This is my niece, biological!”

Three years later, the Jiang family came to the door and asked Jiang Li to donate a kidney to Jiang Ruo. They persuaded her to be kind, saying that people can still live with one kidney.

Feng Qi rushed home from the scientific research institute and protected Jiang Li behind his back, “The person who can bully Xiao Lizi has not been born yet!”

Seeing that the Jiang family still did not give up, Feng Qi coldly looked at his elder sister who had cut off her relationship with the family after eloping many years ago, “Sister, Xiao Lizi and Jiang Ruo are not related at all, but their kidney can successfully match each other. Does your pig brain have no doubts at all?”

After that, the Jiang family ran away with tails between their legs, and they no longer dared to make trouble with Jiang Li.

Jiang Li looked at Feng Qi curiously, “Uncle, how do you know that Jiang Ruo is Jiang family’s illegitimate daughter?”

Feng Qi said confidently, “I was just talking nonsense. Who knows if I hit it right.”

Jiang Li:……

What Jiang Li didn’t know was that not long after she returned to the Feng family, Feng Qi ordered people to investigate the Jiang family.

He kept silent over the years, only because he didn’t want that brainless sister to come snatching his precious niece.

But later, his niece was snatched for real.

At that moment, he really wanted to break that bastard’s leg!!! <<less

I just wanted to unwind after a long day of overtime, so I picked up a book…

Only to find myself inside the novel "Prisia's Diary."

And not just anywhere—but ten years after the part I was reading!

To make matters worse, my favorite character is on the brink of divorcing me, the protagonist?!

Thrown into this divorce crisis without any explanation, Heeju—no, now the novel’s heroine, Prisia—is determined to stop the divorce at all costs.

But her beloved, wounded by the ordeal, is much sharper than she expected.

Painfully so.

“Do you even know how much your words crushed me?”

“…Kyle.”

“You will never understand.”

Seeing how deeply hurt he is, Prisia resolves never to wound him again.

From then on, she fights tooth and nail to restore their relationship.

And… could it be that her sincerity is reaching him?

The once-cold man slowly begins to change.

“Weren’t you the one who said we should live as a proper married couple?”

“No, that’s not…!”

“How disappointing, my wife. I’m fully prepared, so where do you think you’re going?”

Not only does he subtly cling to her—

“You were the one who promised never to leave me, Prisia.”

—but now, he holds on desperately, refusing to let go.

“So don’t even think about leaving my side. Ever.” <<less

A life lived solely for the sake of the family.... more>>

I couldn’t hope for anything, and I didn’t have anything.

I thought it would be enough if I could just devote myself to the family.

What returned at the end of that devotion was a dreadful death.

“You dare not to know your place and covet the family’s guardian magic, so pay it back with your life."

That’s how I died.

But that’s not bad either. Death is eternal rest.

I think I can rest now.….

Cen Feng had committed su*cide at home because of depression. It was only after his death that the injustices he had suffered had been revealed to the public.

It turned out that he was an adopted orphan, and his biological father was actually a mu*derer.

It turned out that the reason he never touched the piano again was that his little finger was intentionally trampled by his teammates.

It turned out that the team was harassing him, and he offended a higher-up company, resulting in resources being divided.

It turned out that the treasure, which she had been so afraid to hold on to her palm in fear of breaking it, had been trampled on, had been beaten black and blue…

Six months later, Xu Zhaixing died in a car accident, only to be reborn as a high school student. She was just a freshman that year.
