Reborn: Promoting the Villain to My Husband

In his past life, Lin Yu was the stepping stone for the scumbag Su Hao. He gave up his fame, his looks, and finally his life, only to watch Su Hao marry someone else on the news while he died alone in a cold hospital room. Reborn three years into the past, Lin Yu returns to the pivotal day he was supposed to sign away his freedom. This time, he tears up the slave contract and kicks the scumbag to the curb. But Lin Yu knows that to survive in the cutthroat entertainment industry and exact perfect revenge, he needs a backer. A backer powerful enough to crush Su Hao with a single finger. He sets his sights on Gu Chen, the ruthless CEO of the Gu Empire. He is a man known as the "Tyrant of the Capital," rumored to be cold-blooded, dangerous, and completely uninterested in romance. Everyone warns Lin Yu to stay away. But Lin Yu knocks on the devil's door with a smile and a proposal. "President Gu, I have a deal for you. I can help you secure your family inheritance. All I need in return is the title of your partner." Lin Yu thought it was just a transaction. He thought he could leave once he got his revenge. He was wrong. Late at night, the rumored cold-blooded tyrant pinned him against the wall, his voice dark and possessive. "You want to terminate the contract?" Gu Chen whispered against his ear. "Read the fine print, Lin Yu. There is no exit clause in our marriage." Tags: Modern, BL, Rebirth, Showbiz, Power Couple, Revenge, Face Slapping, Possessive Male Lead, Smart Protagonist.

The Study Contract

It all started with that one proposal, a deal-turned-bait pulling him into something dark, yet irresistible and inescapable. ____ Ryan Kane is mixed-race, poor, and worst still, in a university where everything screams "silver and gold". He thinks his scholarship and education are his only way to a future better than his present. But this guy's grades aren't helping matters as he keeps juggling between lectures, attendance, and part-time jobs. The lower his grades get, the closer he is to withdrawing, going back to his deadbeat of a father, and having a life with nothing. Well, he absolutely doesn't want a reality like that, and to avert that, his only option was getting a tutor. Ryan’s desperate enough to ask Adrian Val. On campus and to everyone, Adrian is the perfect, well-behaved, brilliant heir to a top conglomerate family. While in private, he is a possessive, manipulative jerk who does a lot of unimaginable things. When Ryan proposes tutoring to him, Adrian offers that he pay with his body instead. To him, Ryan can't afford his time and knowledge with just his measly bucks. Ryan says yes to the offer, and along the line, he falls heavily for Adrian. But even when Adrian rejects his confession and treats him like a toy way worse than before, Ryan doesn't leave. He wants the tutoring, the intimacy, the sex, his persistent feelings for Adrian, and the tiny hope that Adrian's heart may steer towards him. It gets even messier when Adrian’s friend Liam enters the picture. Liam is calm, kind, and actually cares about Ryan, but he holds back his feelings to keep the peace. Then there is also Chase, a rich troublemaker who openly flirts with Ryan. Trapped in a dirty cycle of sex, love, and heartbreak, everything Ryan had and held dear to him came tumbling gradually. And by the time he realizes the depth of it, it is too late. Too late to even hold onto anything. Only to be caught between three powerful men who all want a piece of him for different reasons.

Not romantically, emotionally. He plans to tease him, provoke him, embarrass him, and remind him what it feels like to be powerless. Except… things don’t go according to plan.

He burned with desire when Leon smirked, and the man he vowed to destroy suddenly became the one he could not stop wanting. He was supposed to hate him. So why does his heart skip when Leon holds him? Why does he burn when Leon smirks at him? And why does the man he vowed to destroy suddenly become the one he can’t stop wanting? Leon did not believe in love, and Becklan did not believe in forgiveness, yet between the tension, the teasing, the danger, and the secrets, one truth became impossible to ignore. Someone is going to fall first… and no one knows who will give in to love.

At the same time.

Kim Ji Won is a young and influential owner of the grand Eldorado Shopping Center. Handsome, wealthy, and utterly confident in his own superiority, he has long believed that the world exists solely to satisfy his desires. The only person constantly at his side is his personal secretary, Lee Ye Jun - restrained, diligent, and impeccably polite. Beneath this polished courtesy, however, lie fatigue, patience, and emotions that Ji Won either does not notice or prefers to ignore. Ji Won moves through a series of situations that confirm his selfishness and consumerism. To him, they are mere irritations, but to the world around him, they are the final straw. One day, he awakens to find himself in an entirely different reality - the Joseon era. Here, he is nobody. He possesses neither a powerful name, protection, nor privileges. He is assigned to work in the palace kitchen. For the first time in his life, Ji Won must learn self-reliance, patience, and submission. His former arrogance makes him a target of ridicule and punishment, and only gradually does he come to understand the value of others’ labor. Slowly, he learns gratitude, generosity, and the meaning of support - first reluctantly, then with growing sincerity. The true shock comes with his encounter with the young crown prince. At first seemingly infantile, brash, and capricious, the prince turns out to be Ye Jun - the same secretary, yet in another life and another role. Intrigued by Ji Won’s strange behavior, the prince transfers him from the kitchen and appoints him as his personal attendant. This time, the initiative lies with Ye Jun. He observes, teases, sometimes mocks playfully, and at other times displays unexpected gentleness. For the first time in his life, Ji Won must learn to listen, to understand, and to accept the will of another. Gradually, feelings begin to grow between them. Ji Won faces the challenge of love without possession or power, while Ye Jun discovers the possibility of trust. Their relationship develops amid palace intrigues and dangers. Ji Won increasingly sacrifices his own comfort and safety for Ye Jun, gradually dismantling the image of the man he once was - and discovering who he might truly become.

The Cat between us

The Cat Between Us Xu Jin, a reckless second-generation young master, runs away from his wealthy family in a burst of stubborn rebellion. Determined to prove he can live independently, he buys an apartment, armed with nothing but confidence, a skateboard, and absolutely zero life skills. Meanwhile, Liang Chen, a gentle literature professor, lives quietly next door with his lively grandmother. Their home is calm, tidy, filled with tea fragrance and old books — the opposite of Xu Jin’s chaotic new life. Their paths collide in a pet shop when both try to buy the same white male kitten. A ridiculous bidding war ends with Xu Jin winning the cat, much to Liang Chen’s frustration. Neither realizes they will soon be neighbors — until moving day brings the shocking discovery that they live separated by only one wall. Xu Jin names the kitten Yunhu, and immediately learns that independence is far harder than imagined. He can’t cook, can’t clean properly, and now has a mischievous cat destroying his apartment. Next door, Liang Chen is endlessly annoyed by mysterious crashes, meows, and the unstoppable chaos leaking through the wall — yet secretly, he finds himself wanting to meet the kitten he cannot touch. As days pass, Xu Jin’s unhealthy eating and exhaustion catch up to him. One night, he collapses near his open doorway, too weak to seek help. Yunhu escapes to the corridor and scratches at Liang Chen’s door, leading the professor to discover the half-conscious Xu Jin on the floor. With his grandmother’s help, Liang Chen rushes the taller, delirious young master to the hospital in the middle of the night. Bound together by a white cat, thin walls, and an unexpected emergency, two very different lives begin to intertwine — setting the stage for slow healing, reluctant companionship, and a relationship neither of them saw coming
