Contract Marriage; Escaping My Ex.

(A spin-off of “Submitting to My Ex-Uncle”. However, can be read alone) ……… He ruined her once. Now, she belongs to another man. Three years after Elias shattered her heart and disappeared, Amara has rebuilt her life. Or at least, pretended to. Her books are bestsellers now, her name was highly adored, and her smile well practiced. However, when the ghosts of her past resurface, she does the unthinkable. She immediately marries Travis Alden. Cold. Brilliant. Dangerous. A man who doesn’t believe in love but needs a wife for reasons of his own. It was supposed to be a business arrangement. No touch. No feelings. And no complications. Until Elias returns. Her first love, and her greatest sin. A fire she thought she buried comes roaring back to life. Travis tempts her with safety and devotion. Slowly, he even began to show her what love really felt like. Meanwhile, Elias drags her back into the darkness she once called home. He still looks at her like she’s the only prayer he ever learned to say. And when he whispers mine against her skin, the line between past and present blurs dangerously. In a world where desire is a weapon and love is the deadliest addiction, Amara must decide which man she’s willing to burn for. The husband who would kill to keep her, or the ex who already destroyed her once? ………. “I love my marriage, Elias.” She said it too quickly. The words escaped her lips like a reflex, and not a truth. Elias’s eyes darkened. He stepped closer, slow and deliberate, until the air between them felt charged enough to burn them. “Do you?” he asked, voice low. Too low. It trembled with everything between pain and hunger. “Then why do your pupils dilate when I walk in, Amara?” She swallowed hard, her spine pressing lightly against the wall behind her. He was close enough for her to feel the whisper of his breath near her temple “You don’t get to do this anymore.” She gasped at him. He smiled. “Do what? Remind you what it felt like to actually want someone?” Her pulse raced; she hated that he could still read it, and still hear it. “Stop it.” Elias reached up, brushing a loose strand of her hair back behind her ear. His fingertips grazed her skin, light as a ghost, and yet she felt it everywhere. “You can tell him you love him all you want,” he murmured, his lips just an inch from her ear, “but just don’t look at him like this when you do.” She exhaled sharply, trying to turn away, but he caught her wrist gently, not to restrain her, just to remind her. “Because that look…” he whispered, his voice breaking slightly, “this look used to be mine.”

My Billionaire Boss is a Drama King

Chloe Chen is drowning in student debt, not romance. Pragmatic, sharp-witted, and fiercely sarcastic, she takes a job as the personal assistant to Alexander Wilde, a tech billionaire so handsome he could be a movie star. There's just one tiny problem: Alexander is utterly convinced he's the brooding, dramatic hero of his own bestselling romance novel. His coffee must be a precise 85.3 degrees Celsius. He declares a "corporate cold war" on the coffee shop next door for getting his name wrong. He practices his "smoldering gaze" in the mirror and believes monologues are a legitimate form of conversation. For Chloe, a woman whose love language is sarcasm and survival, it's a waking nightmare. Her only solace is her hilarious internal commentary, the one thing keeping her from fleeing the sheer absurdity of it all. Hired for her impeccable credentials but ultimately retained after impressing him with a spur-of-the-moment Shakespearean sonnet about his tie, Chloe becomes the unwilling supporting character in Alexander's epic. Her job description quickly expands from scheduling meetings to preventing him from buying a zoo for "metaphorical purposes" and translating his dramatic pronouncements for the baffled staff. Yet, amidst the chaos, Chloe begins to see glimpses of a lonely, surprisingly competent man hiding behind the theatrical façade, especially when a genuine business threat emerges. As Chloe navigates his over-the-top world—complete with a classic "vixen" rival and a truly sinister, non-humorous business antagonist—the line between professional duty and personal attraction blurs. Alexander, in turn, is fascinated by the one woman who isn't impressed by his performance, the one who looks at his grand gestures and dares to roll her eyes. Can a woman who lives by practicality teach a man who speaks in plot twists what real love looks like? And can the ultimate Drama King ever learn to be the hero of a simple, authentic love story?

My Contract Marriage with my Narcissist Boss

Kang Hye-rin thought she’d buried her past — especially the memory of Lee Joon-hyuk, the boy who once humiliated her in front of their entire school. But fate has a cruel sense of humor. Years later, he’s her boss — colder, sharper, and infuriatingly handsome in a suit that probably costs more than her rent. And just when she’s finally learned how to avoid him, he makes an offer that flips her world upside down. A contract marriage. ₩150 million now, ₩200 million after one year. No emotions. No strings. Just business. For Joon-hyuk, it’s the perfect way to protect his company and calm the board’s demands for a “stable” image. For Hye-rin, it’s the only way to save her family’s restaurant and pay off the debt her father took after her brother’s accident. But living under the same roof with a man she once hated — a man whose slightest glance still makes her heart stutter — turns out to be harder than she ever imagined. Every argument sparks, every silence hums, and every accidental touch blurs the line between pretending and feeling. He’s arrogant, jealous, and dangerously charming. She’s stubborn, proud, and one heartbeat away from falling again. And somewhere between the lies, laughter, and late-night standoffs… their fake marriage starts to feel a little too real. Because sometimes, love doesn’t knock — it barges back in wearing a perfect suit and an infuriating smirk. Contemporary romance, Ceo, enemies-to-lovers, Korean setting, handsome male lead, strong female lead, slow burn, love triangle.

Melon Eating Cannon Fodder, On Air!

An Ning opened her eyes and found herself transmigrated into a novel which she had just read. In the novel, the original An Ning nothing more than cannon fodder - a quiet girl whose silence was painted as arrogance. Every setup turned into a scandal, and misunderstandings tarnished her reputation, until by the finale she was buried under trending tags like #TwoFacedQueen and #MostHatedContestant. But now that former A-list actress An Ning had become her, she wasn’t about to let that happen. Armed with her superstar instincts and a melon-eating system that boosted her luck whenever she gossiped or reveled in drama, she was ready to flip the script. Low luck value meant traps and misunderstandings. But high luck value? It meant schemes collapsing, netizens cheering, and golden opportunities falling right into her lap. This time, An Ning would protect the original’s dignity, reclaim her reputation, and maybe-just maybe- find herself in an unscripted love story. Peeking from the door, An Ning thought she’d catch her boss in the act - after all, the grapevine said he was secretly in a relationship, and it wasn’t every day she could eat melon about her own boss. But the office was empty. Just as she turned to leave, an ominous voice from behind. “Enjoying yourself, Miss An?” She stiffened, caught red-handed.”…I was just passing by.” He stepped closer, his voice low, carrying a hint of amusement. “Passing by at midnight?” The system chimed: [Ding!Unexpected encounter detected - Heartbeat +50] (Side note:”melon-eating” is a Chinese slang for watching or consuming gossip/drama as an onlooker. A “melon” = a juicy piece of gossip)

Reverse chastity world

Title:- Reverse Chastity World Novel Synopsis: Haruya Takahara was an ordinary 28-year-old office worker living in Tokyo — overworked, invisible, and utterly alone. His life had become a blur of long nights, cheap coffee, and empty mornings. But one winter evening, after an accident on his way home, everything changed. He opened his eyes not in a hospital… but in a luxurious pink-walled bedroom, inside the body of a young man adored by everyone — in a world completely reversed from his own. Here, men are the rarest beings alive. The gender ratio stands at a staggering 1:150. Men are treated like divine treasures — worshiped, guarded, and desired. Women devote their entire lives to winning a man’s affection, while society bends every rule to protect its dwindling male population. At first, Haruya is stunned. Then… he laughs. For the first time, he’s in a world where being a man means power, freedom, and endless affection. Every girl he meets looks at him like he’s a dream come true. His polite “thank you” at breakfast even shocks his new family — because in this world, kindness from a man is unheard of. But as Haruya learns more, the illusion begins to fade. Behind the smiles and adoration lies a broken balance. Men have become passive and spoiled, while women bear the emotional weight of a world that worships them yet silently suffers for them. True love, equality, and sincerity have all but vanished. Now reborn into privilege, Haruya makes a silent vow — he will live differently. He will show kindness where others show cruelty. Warmth where others show pride. And maybe, just maybe… he will remind this world what it means to be human. From quiet family mornings to moments of chaos, laughter, and temptation, Haruya’s journey becomes more than just a fantasy—it becomes a story about rebirth, empathy, and the strange beauty of connection in a world that has forgotten both love and balance. A touching, emotional, and at times hilarious isekai where one man’s kindness sparks a silent revolution in a world ruled by reversed desire. --- Genre: Isekai, Reverse World, Fantasy Slice of Life, Emotional Drama, Comedy, Mild Ecchi, Psychological Social Commentary Tags: Reverse chastity, matriarchy, rare male protagonist, family warmth, kindness, harem building, gender-flipped society, slow romance, social transformation, emotional growth
