Murderous Lewellyn's Candlelit Dinner

살인마 르웰린 씨의 낭만적인 정찬

With unparalleled strength, a harem in the hundreds, and rulership of both the human and demon realms, Luo Binghe is a typical male lead for the stallion novel Proud Immortal Demon Way (PIDW). Like every protagonist, he has a tragic past: suffering under the thumb of his loathsome shizun, the scum villain Shen Qingqiu.

However, despite its great world-building and setup, PIDW eventually went off the rails, abandoning plotlines left and right, and now focusing exclusively on gratuitous sex. This is the very trash-tier web novel that a young millennial named Shen Yuan curses as he dies, swearing that even he could write a better story.

That moment is when the "System" initiates, and Shen Yuan awakens in the body of Shen Qingqiu. His mission? Turn this piece of subpar fiction into a grade-A masterpiece. Constrained by a System that will punish him for even being slightly out of character, Shen Yuan must avoid Shen Qingqiu's fate of becoming a human stick—and step one is to hug the protagonist's thigh!

Following an unusual conversation and a sudden kiss, Oz learns that the boy, Theodore Sullivan, came to the bar because he is on his Rumspringa, the time when young Amish people leave their communities to experience the outside world.

The only way to return to his true form is to win over the heart of a human.

As if by fate, Lee Nok, a wistful and unfortunate prince pining for his childhood friend, takes pity on the animal and brings it in. While Nok's abundance of yin energy attracts malevolent spirits, Jae-shin must absorb yin to sustain himself. In every respect, Nok is the perfect target for Jae-shin's goals. He begins visiting the prince's chambers at night in his human form, hoping to erase the traces of affection for another from the prince's heart and lure him into eternal love.

귀야곡

Kurata, Minoji

In the East is a land ruled by an emperor, whose consorts and serving women live in a sprawling complex known as the hougong, the rear palace. Maomao, an unassuming girl raised in an unassuming town by her apothecary father, never imagined the rear palace would have anything to do with her—until she was kidnapped and sold into service there.

Though she looks ordinary, Maomao has a quick wit, a sharp mind, and an extensive knowledge of medicine. That's her secret, until she encounters a resident of the palace at least as perceptive as she is: the head eunuch, Jinshi. He sees through Maomao's façade and makes her a lady-in-waiting to none other than the Emperor's favorite consort... so she can taste the lady's food for poison!

At her lady's side, Maomao starts to learn about everything that goes on in the rear palace—not all of it seemly. Can she ever lead a quiet life, or will her powers of deduction and insatiable curiosity bring her ever more adventures, and ever more dangers?
