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.

Remarrying My Ex-Wife

Summer’s marriage to Gideon had been nothing short of a fairytale. Their days were filled with joy and peace until one incident ruined everything completely. The man she loved the most accused her of cheating. ======= “Who is the father of the child?” Gideon thundered, squeezing her shoulders. His crushing grip made her wince in pain and fear. “It’s yours. Why won’t you believe me?” “I wanted to.

He appeared in front of her again six years later. This time, he didn’t want to kill her. He wanted to trap her, torment her, and own her. Would Summer let him ruin her again? Would she be able to change her fate this time? “In this life, you can never escape me,” Gideon hissed. Summer looked into his eyes coldly. “We ended things six years ago. I’ll never let you crawl back into my life again.” Pinching her chin, he declared, “No one can stop me from reclaiming you, not even you.”

"A Rejected Omega, A Dark Alpha Prince and their twisted dangerous fate." Amelie Conley, the eldest daughter of a revered Alpha family, was once expected to carry on her family’s proud legacy.

He had convinced himself that the Moon Goddess despised him, just as his own mother had. But the moment he laid eyes on Amelie, everything changed. "You were marked, weren't you?" His voice dropped, edged with something dangerously close to possession as his gaze met hers, demanding the truth.  The question left Amelie in a dilemma. She didn't wish to tell him the truth. "I am not an ordinary wolf, Amelie. Who the fuck marked you before me?" Gabriel voiced in a possessive yet intimidating tone.  Amelie didn’t know that the man, who saved her was none other than the infamous Dark Tyrant—the Alpha Prince, Gabriel Sinclair, whose intentions were still unknown to her. ~~~~ **The Story is a pure fiction.

Dauluo Dalu: Treasures & Emotions

When Chen Sheng dies from cancer on Earth, he never expected to be reborn as an abandoned prince in the world of Douluo Continent. Born as the illegitimate son of the Star Luo Empire's Emperor and a humble maid, his fate seemed sealed when his dying mother promised the Empress that her child would never compete for the throne. Yet even this promise wasn't enough—the paranoid Empress ordered his elimination, leading to his abandonment in the remote Saint Spirit Village. Raised by the kind-hearted Old Jack, Chen Sheng grows up alongside the Tang San, carrying the wisdom of two lifetimes but lacking any supernatural advantages. That changes on his sixth birthday when he awakens not only his martial soul but also the mysterious **Emotions Fortune System**—a unique cheat that rewards him with treasure chests whenever he causes emotional disturbances in others. Every fear he instills, every admiration he earns, every heart he breaks or mends becomes a source of power. From techniques and bloodlines to martial soul evolutions and soul rings, even things from other dimensions Chen Sheng's growth depends on his ability to manipulate the emotional landscape around him. But unlike typical villains, his approach is strategic and multifaceted—sometimes protective, sometimes ruthless, always calculated. As he rises from an abandoned village boy to one of the continent's most formidable powers, Chen Sheng attracts attention from all corners of the Douluo world: --- *Xiao Wu: "Chen Sheng-gege is amazing! Even Tang San admits." *Zhu Zhuqing: "I choose him as my husband. When he looks at me, I don't see pity for a 'caged bird'—I see acknowledgment of an equal. That's worth more than any imperial bloodline." *Ning Rongrong: *"Daddy always said I needed someone strong enough to protect me and brave enough to stand up to me. Chen Sheng does both without breaking a sweat! Plus, he's the only person in my heart." *Hu Liena: "He's dangerous in all the best ways. Master says he's too unpredictable to be a true ally of Spirit Hall, but I think that's exactly what makes him perfect. Who wants a predictable man anyway?" *Tang San: *"Chen Sheng... he's both my greatest rival and most trusted friend. I can't figure out how he always seems to know exactly what I'm thinking, but I'm grateful he chooses to stand with us rather than against us." *Bibi Dong: "He could be the key to changing everything... or destroying it all." Yu Xiaogang: *"His cultivation speed defies every theory I've ever studied. It's as if the heavens themselves are conspiring to make him strong." --- In a world where strength determines fate and emotions run deeper than the deepest ocean, Chen Sheng must navigate political intrigue, ancient conspiracies, and the complex relationships he builds with the most powerful people on the continent. Armed with his Emotions Fortune System and the cunning of two lifetimes, he'll carve his own path to supremacy—one treasure chest at a time. But in a land where gods walk among mortals and love can be both the greatest strength and the most devastating weakness, Chen Sheng will discover that some prizes are worth more than any system reward. --- # Disclaimer: JUST FOR ENTERTAINMENT NOT TO HURT SOMEONE EMOTIONS.

Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. This is an extremely fast-paced novel, and the protagonist becomes absurdly overpowered. He is not the usual “hero complex” type. The villain and antihero tags are not for show. If you are looking for a “goody-two-shoes” protagonist, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. Note for Readers (Please do not skip): Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes—it may remind you of popular works you've read… but this is only the beginning. As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities, each adding a unique evolution to his path. The shadow affinity is a nod to some of my favorite novels, but the journey, characters, and world are entirely my own. Join the Community: Care to interact with me and other readers?

Martial Arts to Immortality

Lu Lin had transmigrated to a cultivation world, yet the sad thing was that he had no spiritual root, unable to cultivate, and could only practice martial arts. But a martial arts practitioner was as lowly as an ant here, serving as no more than a cultivator’s tool and cannon fodder. Their Qi and Blood(vitality), tempered body, and combat skills seemed to cultivators’ spiritual energy, spells, and magical weapons a flimsy sheet of paper. Fortunately, he had awakened with the Martial Dao Furnace, which could transform spiritual energy into time spent training. Should a year’s time fail, then two years. Should two years fail, then a decade. Should a decade fail, then a century, or a millennium? Blazing Sun Technique---→Nine-Sun Divine Technique Grass Skimming---→ Sky Treading Footwork Steel Elephant Body---→Primordial Dragon-Elephant Art A crude martial arts technique to the scorn of immortals? Toss it into the Furnace, subject it to a millennium’s deduction. After tens of thousands of tweaks, it eventually became what rocked the cultivation world. Without a spiritual root? Then mold my blood, flesh, tendons, and bones into an undying golden body. Without magical weapons? Then smash magical weapons into pieces with my fists. Without spells? My self-created martial arts has developed a Behemoth Self-Projection, whose punch shatters mountains and rivers and whose stomp breaks space. In desperate, oppressed enslavement, as a mortal, Lu Lin forcibly hacked a path of martial arts longevity through an immortals-dominated world. With the wood fire ever burning, the Dao of martial arts would be everlasting; establish my Dao with martial arts, force a breakthrough into immorality!
