“Your Highness, there’s something I’d really like for my birthday.” “What is it?” “Will you promise to listen?” Then the man blatantly laughed. But who would point out his arrogance – a young Northern Duke who’s not even afraid of the Emperor? He could even get a throne if he wished for it. But it was just a sweet lover’s birthday wish. “Alright. I swear.” So, Juliet spoke lightly, “Please break up with me. I don’t love you anymore.” A fiance just for show. A succession of meaningless nights. Now is the time to end seven years of unrequited love.

As Olivia embraces her new life with Duke Bikander, her family and ex-fiancé desperately cling to her, begging for a love they never gave—will she forgive or forever leave them behind? Olivia loved with all her heart, but her family and fiancé did not reciprocate her feelings. Despite her mother’s belief that sincerity will prevail if she tries her best, Olivia painfully realizes after fourteen years of unrequited love that this is not always the case. When Olivia wanted to leave and start anew, she coincidentally meets a handsome man she saw at a victory celebration for war hero Duke Bikander. The man turns out to be the Duke himself, who asks Olivia to allow him to cherish her as the most precious person in his life. On the day she takes the Duke’s hand and leaves everyone behind, her family and ex-fiancé, who never showed her any love before, suddenly try to hold onto her. It’s ironic how they try to do so now that it’s too late.

I became the empress of a BL novel I'd been reading. In the novel, the emperor was a tyrant who executed the empress for marrying a man... ... . It turned out the empress was just as wicked as the emperor. The emperor, infatuated with a man, locked his longtime wife in a tower and starved her to death. He knelt before Bellmay. The emperor's wet hair hung limply. He looked like a dog soaked in rain, its fur all soaked. "It was all my fault..." Bellmay bent down and brushed his bangs back. The wet hair clung together and then fell apart. He responded delicately to her touch. "I'm sorry... Please, I hope your heart will be at peace."

Cha Eunha, a first-generation Hunter, vanished inside a mysterious and forbidden “Unknown Gate.” To save her teammates, she stayed behind— armed only with a jet-black dress, a parasol, and unmatched determination. For decades, she survived alone, slaying monsters and forging her strength. Now at Level 99, she finally finds a way back— only to discover that the world she knew is gone. “Welcome to the world 30 years later… Senior.” Thrust into a future where society, Hunters, and power dynamics have changed, Cha Eunha must navigate this unfamiliar world— where she’s a living relic, a legend, and perhaps, the most powerful force humanity has left.

She was reincarnated as the world's strongest swordsman and an unparalleled beauty with silver hair. But you're destined to be killed by the final boss sooner or later?! Astrea finds the final boss in danger and decides to raise him himself to rehabilitate him, who is still a child... … . “Let’s go with me from now on. Sigrian.” “… … This is the first time, someone said this.” Yes, it was good to raise the future final boss well into adulthood. the problem is… … It was that he was revealing his true nature (?) to the other side. “Every time you smile at that bastard, I get angry and go crazy.” Somehow, it seems that the seeds of evil have been nurtured incorrectly.

‘Ah…… It’s finally the ending.’ After drinking beer and falling asleep, I was possessed by a ruined fantasy novel. A year of living according to the instructions of the writer of this ruined work. As in the original story, I saved the world from the demon king’s hand and finally died. Waiting for me to open my eyes in the original world. However… [Ddi-ring!] [Even after Part 1 ends, the story continues! That’s how Part 2 started! Welcome to “I Became a Saint to Save the World”!] ‘Did you write this cursed, ruined work up to part 2?!’ “You swindler! I don’t need them all, so please send me back to the original world!!!” Eventually, I negotiated with the author of this ruined work. If I finish Part 2 without getting caught, please return me to the original world. “Part 2 is childcare, right? Great. I’m going to finish this damn parenting thing super fast!” The problem is that the worldview is the same as Part 1, and I keep running into my comrades. Even the guys who were my comrades have all turned weird. “Why are they like this?” Besides, this duchess I possessed had a huge secret hidden… “Caw?!” Can I go back?

Booze, smokes, and boys—Hayoon’s life was a checklist of bad decisions. At 20, repeating a year in school, she thought she’d seen it all… until her new homeroom teacher, Mr. Hyungwon, walked in. Unfazed by the rumors swirling around her, Hyungwon is calm, mysterious, and always full of surprises. Naturally, Hayoon’s curiosity turns into something deeper—her first taste of real love. “I love you, Teacher.” “That’s not love. You’re just confused. It happens at your age.” But unlike the guys who usually fall for her with a wink and a smile, Hyungwon is the ultimate fortress—cold, distant, and impossible to crack. Still, Hayoon’s not backing down. That wall of his? She’s ready to tear it down, brick by brick. Original Webtoon: R19: Ridibooks R15: Ridibooks
