I Became a Kindergarten Teacher for Monster Babies!

She applied for a simple teaching job but she ended up raising a classroom full of supernatural toddlers and accidentally becoming the Demon Lord’s obsession. -`♡´- Struggling to pay rent and drowning in rejection emails, Alina Hart, 24, is desperate for a stable job. When she stumbles across a strange flyer offering a "live-in teaching position at a private academy," she signs the contract without reading the fine print. Big mistake.

She just accidentally scolded the Demon Prince, Dante’s only son. Now, the students are clinging to her. The royal parents are demanding "private meetings."

That’s how we play catch!” -`♡´- Alina: “Luna, you can’t bite people just because they sit next to me.” Luna (growling): “He was breathing near you.

Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off

Su Qinglan sat cross-legged on the grass, holding the chubbiest tiger cub she’d ever seen. “Aww… Look at you,” she whispered, booping its tiny nose. “So cute I could eat you up...” A sudden shadow loomed over her. “What’s so good about this stinky cub?” a deep, amused voice asked. She blinked up… and froze. Towering above her was a tall tiger beast man, his golden eyes narrowed in a lazy, predatory smile. “Let’s have ours,” he said. Su Qinglan’s brain short-circuited. … Ours? OURS?! Before she could process, in the next moment she was hoisted up onto his broad shoulder like a sack of grain and carried straight toward the cave. Su Qinglan was so choked by the suddenness of it all… she forgot to even complain. *** Su Qinglan’s knees knocked together as she stared up at the enormous serpent. Its cold, red eyes narrowed, the flick of its tongue tasting the air between them. “D-Don’t eat me,” she stammered, hugging herself. “I...I’m not tasty… really, I’m stringy and full of… uh… bad cholesterol.” The snake’s head lowered until it was mere inches from her face. Her fox ears twitched wildly. And then, before she could blink...its massive body shimmered, scales turning into bronzed skin and lean muscle. Standing before her was a man so breathtakingly handsome that Su Qinglan’s poor fox eyes watered just looking at him. Su Qinglan swallowed hard, her tail fluffing up in panic. “I… I…” Her voice cracked. Okay, new problem… the snake is hot. She squeezed her eyes shut. “If you… if you really want…” She blurted, her face burning, “…y-you can… take me.” *** One moment Su Qinglan was fighting with the zombie king with all her might. Boom! The next, she woke up in a bizarre beast world… inside the body of a lazy, pampered, fat local tyrant everyone hated. The “original” Su Qinglan had been an arrogant, scheming villainess who spent her days bullying weaker beast women, chasing after handsome males, and terrorizing the tribe kids. Now, thanks to fate’s twisted sense of humor, Qinglan had inherited the body and the bad reputation. But honestly? Being fat in a beast world was still better than starving in the apocalypse. At least here, she could eat. The only problem? In this world, men weren’t just men, they were beastmen. Tall, strong, dangerous… And apparently, every beast woman was expected to have several husbands. The catch? The “original” Qinglan’s antics had scared away every decent male within a ten-mile radius. Armed with her apocalyptic survival instincts, a sharp tongue, and a mysterious system that suddenly activated... "Binding with host…" "Congratulations, host, for successfully arriving in the beast world." Qinglan decided she wasn’t going to cry about fate. If she had to live here, then she’d live big, literally.

The Alpha Who Stole Me Through the time

When the worlds began to fracture, people started appearing from other timelines, some vanishing in hours, others trapped forever between realities. Among them was Choi Haneul, a breathtaking Omega whose beauty turned into his curse. For a week, he ran from cameras, hunters, and Alphas obsessed with claiming him. The world called him “The Otherworldly Omega.” But only a few knew the horrifying possibility: Haneul’s pheromones matched the forbidden scent of Eunoia World the same world whose rare pheromone-drug caused Korea’s 2019 catastrophe. Thousands died. Entire families were erased. And the company responsible, PharmaCorp, walked free after a single year of bail. Since then, the world has lived in fear of Eunoia. Fear of the pheromones that can break bodies from the inside. Fear of the travelers who might carry them. One stormy night, chased through the streets, Haneul saw a car door open and dove inside. not knowing that the owner of the car, Kang Taekyun, would rewrite his fate forever. Kim Taekyun, the cold and disciplined CEO of Korea’s most powerful medical empire, lost his wife two years ago in a tragic accident that left his five-year-old daughter mute. Since then, he has lived by duty, not desire, bound by tradition, pressured to remarry, and chained by a past that still bleeds. He has money, power, and silence. What he does not have is warmth. Until an Omega from another world hides in his car, trembling, drenched, and smelling like the first breath after grief. Haneul was supposed to disappear like every other traveler. Instead, he becomes the only one who makes Taekyun’s daughter smile again and the only person who touches the heart Taekyun believed had died. But time does not forgive stolen moments. Nor does PharmaCorp, who will do anything to claim an Eunoia Omega. As the fractures between worlds spread, as more travelers bleed into Korea without warning, as fear grows and blood is spilled in the name of “finding the Eunoian,” Taekyun must choose: Obey the world that forced him into coldness, or fight the world that seeks to erase the one person who brought him back to life. Because loving someone from Eunoia means loving someone the world was never meant to keep.

To Shield Her from the Storm

After being betrayed, framed, and tortured until she was blinded and her limbs shattered in her previous life, Judy Johnston was reborn. She returned in a frail, sickly body, haunted by the blood-soaked nightmare that had stolen her entire family but this time, she was no longer alone. By her side stood Nick Bateman, a solitary boy with pure Lycan blood, a predator’s cold instinct, and an absolute loyalty reserved for Judy alone. To the world, Nick was nothing but a nameless orphan. But to Judy, he was the only darkness that shielded her, the pair of hands that pulled her from the abyss, and the eyes that always looked at her with endless tenderness and indulgence. Nick could obey her to the extreme. And he could also kill without blinking, if it was for her. Anyone who dared touch Judy would simply disappear from the world. After coming back to life, Judy wanted only to protect her adoptive family and stay far away from all power struggles. But fate would not let her stand aside: the Spring Gala in the Lycan King’s palace, rival clans, the vicious schemes of her uncle and cousin, and countless secrets buried in blood. Most terrifying of all… was the secret surrounding Nick, the one who once cried beside her bed, the one who saved her from death, and perhaps… the one who had loved her across both lifetimes. In a Lycan royal court filled with lies, darkness, and bloodshed, Judy must survive and find the one who loved her to the point of despair in her past life. She never imagined that person had been by her side all along. And this time… he refuses to let her leave his arms, not even for a single step.
