Villainess System: I Won’t Love You Again

She read the novel. She hated the villainess. She shared the same name. And then… she woke up as her. Seo Yeon-hwa never understood why the villainess in the famous chaebol romance novel Blooming Winter was so pathetic. Why chase a man who didn’t love her? Why cling to a childhood engagement contract that meant nothing? Why become wicked after her father fell into a coma? Why destroy everything her parents built? Real Yeon-hwa mocked her every night— until the night she died and opened her eyes in the villainess’s body. In the gilded mansion of the Seo family. With maids whispering about her crying over her fiancé. With the world knowing her as the clingy daughter who embarrassed her family. With a broken engagement. A collapsing business. A father in a coma. A rival chaebol tearing down everything they owned. And the worst part? A blue holographic screen appeared before her eyes: [Villainess Reformation System 1.0 Activated] [Objective: Survive the novel that kills you.] [Penalty: Severe physical pain or death.] [Rule #1: Do NOT chase Kang Min-joon.] Her childhood fiancé. The man she never loved—but the villainess did. The man who belongs to the heroine in the original story. With no way back home, no one on her side, and an entire world waiting for her downfall— Seo Yeon-hwa decides one thing: She refuses to die as the villainess. She will fix her family. Fix her reputation. Fix her life. And walk away from the boy everyone expects her to love. But her transformation awakens interest from the last person she expected— Kang Do-yoon, her cold future brother-in-law. The CEO who never paid attention to her. The man who finds her sudden maturity unsettling… and strangely captivating. He was never hers. She was never his. But fate has shifted. A villainess who refused to chase love. A cold CEO who never intended to fall. A system that punishes every wrong move. And a business war waiting to explode. This time, she won’t be the villainess everyone remembers. She will write her own ending.

Moonbound: Marked by the Alpha CEO

For eight years, Lara Quinn has lived with an unrequited love for her cold, untouchable boss, Marco Blackwell, the powerful CEO of Blackwell International Holdings and heir to an ancient bloodline. He is brilliant, ruthless, and already engaged to his elegant childhood sweetheart. To everyone else, he is untouchable. To Lara, he is the dream she can never have. Lara does not believe in supernatural beings or in the legends that speak of humans bound to creatures born of the moon. Until one night changes everything. During the company's annual team building in the mountains, a violent storm traps them together beneath the Blood Moon. When desire breaks through restraint, Lara gives herself to Marco, unaware that one night of passion will awaken a bond older than time itself. By dawn, she bears his mark, and her life is no longer her own. The following morning, Marco returns to being cold and distant, treating her as if she means nothing after what happened between them. It breaks her heart, though she tries to hide the pain behind quiet smiles and lowered eyes. Back in the city, Marco proposes marriage. For one blissful moment, Lara believes her dream has finally come true until he tells her the truth. Their marriage will be nothing more than a contract, an agreement made to appease his clan and fulfill a prophecy that demands an heir. Once she gives him the child destiny requires, he will end their marriage and reward her with a fortune before marrying the woman he truly loves. Lara refused his proposal and threw the engagement ring at him out of anger, her voice trembling as she told him she would never marry someone like him. Still, she was left with no choice and said yes when life cornered her once again, forcing her to depend on the one man who had broken her heart. Even if it meant swallowing her pride and pretending she felt nothing, she wanted to stay by his side a little longer. It was foolish, she knew, but a part of her still hoped that one day, he might learn to love her too. But when she discovers she is pregnant, her fragile hope turns to fear. Determined to protect her child from the darkness that surrounds Marco's world, Lara runs. Yet Marco Blackwell is not a man who lets go of what is his, and now he will stop at nothing to find his wife. He thought fated mates were only a myth. But under the Blood Moon, one choice bound their souls forever. And now, as danger closes in, she must make an impossible choice: protect her child from the world that hunts them, or protect her heart from Marco Blackwell.
