When Qin Yan was five years old, she left the capital with her mother and went to the Pingxi Army under the command of her grandfather, Duke of Zhenguo, in the Northwest. When she returned twelve years later, things were different.... more>>

After the mother was attacked and disappeared, everyone in the Prime Minister Mansion only knew of Concubine Song, but not her mother, the honorable mistress. They only knew that there was only one Miss Nian in the mansion, and they did not know that there was also her, the only eldest young lady of the first wife.

The concubine took over her mother’s dowry and pretended to be rich and generous to win people’s hearts. The concubine-born younger sister, with the identity that belongs to Qin Yan, was mixed up like a fish in water in the circle of noble daughters in the capital, and she also intended to get involved with Qin Yan’s fiancé.

The people in Prime Minister Mansion thought that Qin Yan could only be at their mercy when she returned to the capital alone. However, they never thought that within a few days of returning to the capital, Qin Yan was granted the title of Princess of Zhaoren by the emperor and given a palace as the Princess Mansion.

When Qin Yan took back the dowry that belonged to her mother, only then did her father Prime Minister Qin and Concubine Song knew that Qin Yan was the owner of Yu Qingfeng, the first bank in Great Xia.

The City Master of Gu City, an important town outside the Northwest Pass, was known as the owner of Yu Qingfeng, the first bank in Great Xia which claimed to be able to reach half the national treasury.

Year 3154, after the failure to suppress the Evil God, undercurrents surged in the Citadel and panic spread.... more>>

I was captured by the Evil God and became a Saintess…

When I saw my new self in the mirror, my face turned ashen at once.

“Become my servant… Mr. Saint… hmm… should I call you Ms. Saintess now?” The little Evil God smiled, the outline of the Citadel of Academia reflecting in her blood-red eyes.

Are you kidding me?! There is no way I, Xing Mo, a guardian of the Citadel, would help you, an Outer God, infiltrate our city!

Do you think that by turning me into a beautiful girl and branding me, I will be easily corrupted? I am the Goddess’s… ah!

……

The following day, I endured the humiliation of putting on a skirt. I helped the Young Ancestor to infiltrate the Citadel, all the while secretly plotting to take down the hateful loli Evil God…

Just you wait! Watch me as I tame you and make you yield to me!

But… why am I making the little Evil God’s church grow bigger?

Why do you guys worship me? Stop calling me Saintess! <<less

“Why do you love me?”... more>>

Lynette asked eagerly.

Please, may he reply that he wants her with all his heart. When he thinks of her, he is both happy and sad, that his heart aches and pains every day.

“Because you're beautiful.”

But the words that flowed from the noble man were cruel. Lynette stammered.

"If I'm no longer beautiful, you won't love me?"

“I guess so.”

Her eyes widened. If he loves because she is beautiful, if the reason for love is only beauty. If a more beautiful woman appeared, she would be ruthlessly abandoned.

She's with the baby in her belly.

'Run, run away.'

Her body with her child will gradually change, and she will be abandoned by him for having his child without his permission. She, a war s*ave, is favored simply because she is beautiful. Maybe he's trying to get rid of her child himself.

'.... I'll run away at night when everyone is asleep.'

A noble prince does not love a lowly s*ave. <<less

If one must strive to be loved, then I will give up such trivial pursuit.... more>>

I will no longer try to kill myself.

* * *

Kalia Estelle, the cursed daughter of a count, had spent her entire life trying to be loved.

She had done everything to prove that she was different from her mad father, who killed their people and burned their land.

But all she achieved was the accusation of being the “devil’s daughter.”

The day before she came of age, Kalia made up her mind.

She would no longer seek cheap affection.

She wouldn’t sacrifice her soul for a fleeting love.

And if there was a next life, she wouldn’t seek love again.

As her consciousness faded and her breathing became labored, she suddenly found herself transported back five years to the past.

* * *

“I love you.”

I hesitated and backed away as Claude approached me.

But my back was against the wall, and before I knew it, he was standing right in front of me.

“Kalia.”

He peered through the small gap between his fingers that covered his face, carefully watching my reaction.

Despite his disheveled appearance, he was radiant at the moment.

He kneeled down and gently took my trembling right hand, making me feel as if this had all been a dream.

His lips touched the back of my dry hand.

“Just as you showed me the light and opened a new life for me, I want to do the same for you.”

Beneath his long, thick lashes, his eyes were filled with an unfamiliar emotion.

“You know why I live. Kalia, please let me love you.” <<less

It’s been four years since the zombie outbreak.... more>>

The world has collapsed, but humanity has not yet been wiped out.

Min Ahyeon, a former national shooting team representative and a deserted soldier, is a famous mercenary among the survivors.

The sole reason she takes on dangerous mercenary jobs is to find her one and only brother who went missing during the zombie outbreak.

But the traces of her sibling are gradually fading away.

In front of the despairing Ahyeon, someone appears.

“Long time no see?”

Name: Shin Hae-jun.

Characteristic: A dog will execute any command from the military without hesitation. a.k.a. “Military Dog.”

“Shut it, don’t call me Lieutenant. I really can’t stand the sight of you.”

A bitter feud between Ahyeon and him.

Smiling warmly at Ahyeon’s refusal, Shin Hae-jun said.

“I wish we could work together on a job.”

“If we succeed, I’ll give you information about your missing brother. How about that?”

Ahyeon tried to reject his proposal, but she couldn’t ignore the information he was offering.

“But it’s strange.”

“The fact that you don’t get bitten by zombies.”

Having learned Ahyeon’s secret by accompanying her, Shin Hae-jun traps her as if he’s been waiting…

“Yo-you h**ny bastard…”

“The term ‘military dog’ means it f*cks as well as it fights. Didn’t you know?”

Shin Hae-jun licks the tears at the corner of Ahyeon’s eyes and bites her nape.

“Ahyeon-ah.”

“I’ve wanted to be inside you for a long time.” <<less

The plan was perfect.... more>>

And there was no better match than the prim playboy of the Escalante family.

“After we get married, everything will be different. You will be more free than before our marriage.”

“What about you?”

“Under the duties as your wife, I will do what is justifiable. It will be done regardless of you.”

“So, you’re saying you’re going to have a child but you’re not going to do this kind of thing with me?”

This was because she didn’t need a decent husband, but a man who would someday be legally removed from her life.

When he can fill the petition up with the names of the women he fooled around with overnight, then she can become a successful Ortega woman.

But then…

“I am not going to lay a finger on a woman who is not you, and until you give birth to a child, until you give birth to the next child, and then regardless of any child, I will satisfy you and I will make you satisfy me.”

“……”

“I don’t need such dog-like freedom or privacy that you want to give me so badly. There’s no such thing as that in the first place from the marriages I know of.”

The Duchess of Escalante refuses to live with the Duke of Escalante. Divorce due to unilateral fault.

“So I will never betray my family.”

The problem is that Choi Han becomes twisted after that village, and everyone in it, is destroyed by assassins.
