[no more updates] One minute, I was shivering in my cheap uniform as a broke 25-year-old security guard in Seoul, wondering how I'd make rent. The next, a freak accident dragged me backward through time into the freezing, unforgiving slums of the Joseon Dynasty. I was starving, alone, and staring death in the face when I found it—a mysterious, dusty pot tucked away in a dark cave. The catch? It duplicates anything I put inside, no matter the size, weight, or value... except money. Now, I don't have a corporate bank account or family connections anymore, but I do have this pot, and I have my 21st-century brain. From doubling a single handful of rice to feed myself, to figuring out how to flip goods for real leverage, I'm done being at the bottom of the food chain. I'm going to build a business empire from nothing and become the richest merchant Joseon has ever seen. But this world is ruled by greed, and the nobles don't take kindly to a nobody stepping on their toes. Between corrupt officials, rival merchants eyeing my success, and the looming threat of war, the road ahead isn't easy. I'm starting with nothing but my wits and a magic pot. It's time to rewrite my fate. But in a world ruled by greed, corruption, and power, survival won’t come easy. Rival merchants, ruthless officials, and looming war stand in his way. Armed with his wits and his pot, Seo-joon will rewrite his fate.

A thousand years of history. One infinite library. No way home. When a modern-day engineer wakes up in the damp, freezing solar of a 12th-century manor, he finds himself trapped in the body of Thomas, a minor noble with a failing reputation and a wife who despises him. He has no magic system, no leveling up, and no celestial guide. All he has is the smartphone in his pocket—invisible to everyone else, perpetually charged, and still connected to the internet of 2026. In a world where a simple infection is a death sentence and the Church’s word is law, Thomas must use the sum of human knowledge to survive. From implementing basic germ theory to discovering hidden silver veins and forging high-carbon steel, he begins a quiet revolution from the mud up.

WARNING: MATURE CONTENT [18+] An enemy, a punishment, a curse in disguise of blessing. An alpha who simply wants to claim an omega as his. An omega escaping his tragic past, trying to heal the scars that seem to never fade. Synopsis: In a world where Alphas ruled and Omegas were seen as figures of motherhood and love, Ren lived as a Beta. And in a world where humans have mixed with other species such as gods, demons, elves, witches, Ren was a human of pure blood. However, from a young age, he had been able to see what others cannot. A mere glance could kill. A single touch could heal. Born with a cursed blessing—the power to both save and destroy—Ren was bound and raised by the temple, blindfolded and used as a living weapon. For years, they unleashed his power against their greatest enemy: the Ravhara Kingdom, with whom war had raged for centuries. But after a certain incident, Ren ran away from his motherland and sought refuge in the border of the Ravhara Empire, hiding his identity. Disguised as a servant, he began working under the very army he once fought—under their Imperial General, Zayden Sylvaris—as his personal servant under strange circumstances. Ren worked by his side like a ghost. As if he wasn’t there in the first place. Everything was going smoothly… until one night, the general followed the sweet scent of an omega—only to find Ren, his personal attendant, standing there. Him? An Omega in heat? But that couldn’t be. He didn’t any hire Omega, and Betas weren’t supposed to have such a sweet scent. So certainly… he had to be an Omega hiding his identity. And it was the very servant who screamed, “DEMON!” on their first meeting. Zayden becomes consumed with the need to find out the truth. But as desire clashes with hatred, and secrets unravel, one thing becomes dangerously clear: The servant he thought was ordinary, is far more than he appeared. How long can Ren keep his identity buried? And what happens when an Alpha who only wants to claim… meets an omega who was never meant to be touched?

I was doing well before my birthday started when I suddenly fainted and lost consciousness for days and during that time, I realized something funny. I transmigrated into the body of the dead heroine! Of all the characters I could possess why does it have to be the unlucky heroine?! To top it all, she even signed up for her demise at a young age. "glad you woke up, Wren. You made us worry." Caesar the unpredictable brother of mine hugged me and let out a relieving sigh while I was planning my survival here. God hates me somehow. I should be celebrating because I finally experienced transmigrating into a book I know, but I can't! "Fainting in the middle of the banquet is unsightly." if I can wish for a new father, someone please grant it immediately. I possessed the body of the heroine... But... DAMN IT! If I will be transmigrated in a book, please I will be glad if I become the extra or side character as long as it will guarantee that I will live long! "I hate girls like you. I still remember the way you ordered me around to marry you." He's looking at me like he will kill me if I don't go away. Unfortunately, that happened before I had known that he's going to be the one who killed me. The heroine will die at the hands of the Male lead, her betrothed. I know this is unusual. A heroine dying at the hands of the male lead... this is... haah. Nothing will change even if I whine here since I am the Protagonist. I did everything I could to turn everything the way I wanted and it did. Except there's one problem after another. I found out that something changed about the male lead and not only him, everyone around me is acting different which makes it more annoying! I think I changed everything so much that it became annoying.

**Mature Content** Eilika Wolanski is the eldest daughter of one of Varos’ most respected merchants, but respect has never brought her kindness. A childhood accident left a scar across her cheek, and with it, a cruel label she can never escape. The “Unwanted Woman” of Varos. Mocked in public, pitied in private, and treated like a blemish to be hidden, Eilika grows up learning one painful truth: beauty matters more than character in high society. So when an unexpected marriage proposal arrives from the powerful House of Kingsley, no one believes it is real. The groom is Damian Van Kingsley, the widowed duke of Varos, feared for his cold temperament and admired for his unmatched looks and wealth. Rumors follow him like shadows. He has a secret mistress, a broken heart drowned in alcohol, and worst of all… A son he barely acknowledges. For Eilika, marrying Damian isn’t a dream. It’s the only option left for survival. Damian, once the kingdom’s most desirable nobleman, has been nothing but a hollow man since the death of his first wife. He has abandoned his responsibilities, pushed away his child, and lived with one vow burning in his chest. He will never replace his first wife. To force him back into duty, his mother arranges a second marriage, one he never asked for, and one he refuses to accept. Damian swears he will never touch her , will never look at her and will never treat her as his wife. But Eilika isn’t the greedy noblewoman he expected. She doesn’t ask for his affection. She doesn’t crave his title. She doesn’t even want his love. What Eilika wants… is something far more dangerous. A family. And perhaps that is the very thing Damian has been starving for all along. ~~~~ “This bed will remain cold until your last breath.” Damian’s voice boomed through the dark chamber. Eilika didn’t flinch at his words. Instead, she replied gracefully, “I don’t seek love, Duke. You can visit your secret mistress every night… Just don’t come near me.” This marriage was never meant to become real, until the Duke's heart begins to betray its own rules.
