Lucan Ironfist came from a noble family, but he wasn't the eldest son. When his brother became the head of the family and he turned 18, Lucan would become a commoner. A strange rule, but that's how it was. So Lucan began to think of a way to live a peaceful life.
As he was considering this, his mother arranged for him to become a priest in another city. A priest didn't have to worry about food or housing, and all he had to do was watch over the temple and the statue.
It was easy work, so he agreed and arrived at the city. One day, as he was watching over the temple and the statue, a poor-looking girl came to pray. When she prayed to God, light gathered around her body.
Lucan was surprised and suddenly remembered the plot of a certain game. Originally, Lucan was from Earth and had traveled to this fantasy world. When he was on Earth, he played a game with a plot where a merchant family's illegitimate daughter, bullied by her family, awakened the power of a saint.
Lucan decided to keep this secret and train the saint so that in the future, he could have an easy life and save himself from any crises.

Transmigrating and Raising Children: I'll Make Earth's Delicacies Go Viral
Liao Ning came from an apocalyptic time. After killing a zombie and herself, she was bound to a system. It brought her to an interstellar era in a novel, where she accepted the quest of 'transforming the villain and restoring the balance of the world in the novel'.
The system gave her the identity of the villain's aunt. By then, Villain No. 1 had yet to grow into a humanoid weapon. He was still an adorable child who could potentially turn into a nasty beast.
Liao Ning, who adored children, immediately pulled Villain No. 1 into her arms and showered him with love. She even waved her hands. "Isn't this about raising children? I'll raise any child who comes my way!"
[You don't have to raise too many of them. Two will be more than enough,] the system said.
To get close to Villain No. 2, Liao Ning offered two solutions. "One, I'll become his nanny. Or, I'll become his stepmother. I'll marry his father just like in the novels!"
Liao Ning had decided on her battle plan. However, the time for them to meet had yet to arrive. She decided to look after her own child first. The first thing she needed to do to raise him was to get rich!
Liao Ning decided to achieve her goal by doing livestreams of her cooking. However, her culinary skills were so impressive that she became the number-one live-streamer in the entire galaxy! She even accidentally drew the attention of Villain No. 2's youngest uncle.
"We can share our experiences of raising children with one another. I am very experienced." The man showed up in front of Liao Ning's house with Villain No. 2 in his arms. He had an elegant smile on his face.
"Experienced? Do you mean you're experienced in raising a villain?" Liao Ning asked.
Money, power, and influence, Zoey Zhou had it all… or does she?
Zoey Zhou, a 28-year-old self-established businesswoman whose only talent was to earn money and to earn even more. As a woman whose years were spent chasing those money signs, Zoey had nearly forgotten that her exciting prime years were nearing its end.
The reason she had gone in search of her companion for life. However, how could a 28-year-old desperate woman find her soulmate if the greatest hurdle was Zoey, herself?
Was it because of her standards? Heck, no! She has no standard at all! Then why, you ask?
Well, it was because of one simple reason: Zoey was particularly attracted to men who were not interested in her! And to make things worse? She loses interest once they had reciprocated the feelings!
What would happen if the desperate and narcissist drama queen Zoey becomes the heroine of the mysterious and the weirdest man on earth?
Will spring come forth? Or, just another disaster will ensue?
***
EXCERPT:
"Are you sure you're not crazy?" Zoey Zhou narrowed her eyes as she leaned closer to his imperious mien.
"Hmm?"
“I mean, how can you not like the pretty me? Say, should we kiss and see if it will ignite some spark?” The corner of her lips curled into a grin while her brows moved up and down suggestively.
Slowly, the man raised his eyes to meet her playful countenance across the table. Blinking once, his eyes traveled from her eyes down to her lips. He stared for a moment at her red, provocative lips before he opened his mouth.
“Kissing you,” he said, raising his finger to point at her lips, “means your lipstick will smear on mine. I'm afraid I must refuse.”
“Lame.” Zoey Zhou scoffed as she drew away from the table. “I knew it. He’s gay, tsk.” Zoey Zhou murmured. Alas, right after she blurted out her last remarks, her wrist was grabbed by his huge hands and without missing a beat, the man pulled her back to his embrace.
“I heard that. Do you want to confirm the validity of your claim?” His voice was deep and yet so alluring. He leaned his head closer to hers, his musky smell emanating sexiness as a glint flashed across his pair of playful eyes.

"I have died five times in the past because of you. But now that I'm completely conscious, I will not let it happen again. In this sixth life, I will definitely live!"
In his five past lives, Chunhee always died miserable deaths. He tasted pain, betrayal, and mockery all because of one personーYujin.
It seems that no matter what life he lives, Yujin would always be there to hurt him, destroy him, then lead him to his ultimate downfallーdeath.
In their current sixth life, Chunhee and Yujin are engaged due to their parents' mutual agreement. In the future, Chunhee and Yujin would become a real couple and eventually get married. But on the day of their wedding, Chunhee would discover a devastating truth – Yujin didn’t love him at all and he cheated on him with Chunhee’s friend!
To end his pain, the sixth Chunhee jumped from the building’s rooftop and there, he died.
Having seen the kind of future that awaits him, Chunhee, now 'conscious', resolutely cut the red string of fate himself.
Now that he knows what will happen in the future, he can completely change the course of events and prevent his fall.
No matter what, he will not die.
This time, he would certainly change his tragic fate.
In order to make that happen, he just needs to make sure of one thing―he must never fall for Yujin. Thus, Chunhee decides he will avoid Yujin in this life.
But why does something feel off the more Chunhee tries to change the original plot?
Chunhee: "Park Yujin, I would prefer if we don't see each other anymore."
Yujin: "Why?"
Chunhee: "Because... I might die out of love."
Yujin: "I wonder about that."
Chunhee: [suddenly kissed] "..."
Yujin: "Did that kill you?"
Chunhee: "...No."
Yujin: "Then we shall continue."
...
Chunhee screaming inside: This is not how it should be ah!!
Will Chunhee be able to escape Yujin and his death before the Plot God notices him? What will happen once Yujin discovers the truth himself?

Jin Yang received a birthday present at the age of 20. He received a baby wrapped in a blanket and placed it in a box. The paternity test results told him that this was indeed his child.
What? What did that happen? In Jin Yang's memory, he had never had sex with a woman. How did this child come about?

Jin Yang gave the child a name. He realized that this brat was very smart, but his personality was becoming more and more like the girl in his memory.
Six years later, at Lin Shenshen's lowest, Jin Yang found her along with his son.
"I'll find you a beautiful stepmother."
"What about my own mother? Is she not as pretty as this young lady?"

Chef Zoe Kim, hired by the (dead) heroine from the book she read once, entered the novel and possessed the body of a side character to do one job: save the abandoned Crown Princess.
But in the original story, the character that she possessed died at the hands of Duke Isaak Viotto--- the ghoul duke. Yes, GHOUL, a creature that eats human flesh.
Regardless of what the duke is, she can't avoid him because he's the key to her success. Luckily, she just knows how to get to his good graces.
'THE WAY TO A MAN'S HEART IS THROUGH HIS STOMACH,' right?
She's a chef and the ghoul duke has an awful eating habit.
And she's about to fix that,
With the help of her lovely pastel pink chef's knife, she's determined to feed Isaak Viotto until he's wrapped around her finger.
Wait, no, that's excessive.
The last thing that Zoe needs is a ghoul duke obsessed with her (god-tier cooking skills)!

(EXCERPT 1)
[I didn't expect to meet Isaak Viotto, the ghoul duke, as soon as I entered this novel.]
Scratch that.
Zoe should say that she didn’t expect to find him in a dark alley, but there she was.
Isaak Viotto was crouching down in the corner while holding a dog. Considering the fact that he had his mouth wide open as if he was about to bite the dog, it was obvious that she just interrupted his meal. He only closed his mouth when he felt her presence, then he turned to her.
[Oh no, he's hot!]
Isaak Viotto snarled, baring his fangs at her. “What are you looking at?”
“Your violet eyes,” Zoe said without thinking. “They look yummy.”
“Huh?”
“I like putting violet pansies in my salad,” she explained. “They’re delicious.”
He just looked at her as if she was crazy.
She knew that Duke Isaak Viotto was a GHOUL and ghouls, apparently, eat human flesh. But...
[Dang, he's really hot.]
“Give me the dog,” Zoe told the ghoul duke. “I’ll make you steak tartare in return.”
[So, how did I end up in this situation again?]
***
(EXCERPT 2)
“You shouldn’t be too rough on animals even if you plan to eat them,” Zoe lectured the ghoul duke that she caught in the middle of trying to eat a dog--- alive! “There’s a humane way of taking their lives, you know?”
Isaak Viotto, the ghoul duke that allegedly eats human flesh, just looked at her with glowing violet eyes. “You’re not scared of me,” he said bluntly. “Are you not afraid of getting eaten?”
“Literally or sexually?”
“What?”
“What?” Zoe asked back. “I thought we were flirting.”

Rebirth in Apocalypse with Red Packet System, Let’s Start with Farming
Qin Yu spends seven years of her pitiful life as a mindless zombie before eventually dying of starvation. For some inexplicable reason, she comes back to live six months before the apocalypse descends on the world. She now has a chance to redo her life!
She has already imagined her bright future just like the protagonist of some web novels: predicting the future event, saving humanity, gaining a lofty status among the survivors while having sweet revenge on all the people who’d once been looking down and making her suffer in her previous life.
Ah, how sweet… how satisfying….
Until a cold, mechanical voice interrupted her fantasy.
[Ding!]
Congratulations on your successful rebirth! The will of the world gave you a present. Do you accept it?]
Qin Yu: "Yes! Fucking yes! Baby, come to mommy!"
[Open the present… Congratulation! You get the Red Packet System!]
[Warning! The system can only work in Blessed Town.]
[Enjoy!]
Qin Yu: "To hell with revenge! To hell with money! To hell with status! This mistress will stay here, having a leisure life, farming and fishing, and occasionally flirting with the big sister next door! Survival is the most important thing, after all! "
System: "…."
"Little Yu, we are having your favorite sweet braised pork made with the meat of an Elite Mutant Beast Golden Horned Boar for breakfast!" Ling Luo said, with her sweet voice. "And for dinner, you can also have your favorite dish..."
Qin Yu stared intently at the feast in front of her eyes and couldn’t help but gulp.
"My favorite dish...?"
Ling Luo leans forward, a breath away from Qin Yu's ears, and whispers softly, in a sultry tone, "It's me~"
