They whisper my name in fear. Justin Black. The guy who sits in the back of the class, always in black, always untouchable. The one everyone watches but no one dares to approach. They don’t know me. Not really. Because if they did, they’d stay the hell away. I don’t do friends. I don’t do relationships. I don’t do attachments. But then there’s her. June Matthews—cheer captain, golden girl, a walking distraction. She’s everything I hate… and yet, she’s in my way. Assigned to me. Forced into my space. Testing my patience. She thinks she can handle me. She’s dead wrong. Because I have a secret. A place where I go to release the darkness inside me. Where names don’t exist, where pleasure and pain are one and the same. A world where people fulfill their deepest, most twisted fantasies. June doesn’t belong in my world. But the longer she stays, the more I want to pull her under. And once I do… I’m not sure I’ll ever let her go.

I was raised in the most isolated orphanage of Korea. In a life full of misery, I had only one solace, Sera Ryu. Though she was the daughter of the most prestigious Ryu family, we were best friends. Our friendship was secret. One night, she was found dead. The case was closed, claiming it was a wild animal attack, but I knew she was in trouble. She was murdered. There was nothing an orphan like me could do…until the Ryu family adopted me, mistaking me for their elder daughter who lost her mind at a young age and was sent to the orphanage. She was dead, but they didn't know, and the warden asked me to pretend to be her to hide the fact that their daughter died during a punishment. The Ryu family adopted me because the madam went crazy after losing Sera. It was my chance to enter the Ryu family and find out the murderer who killed Sera. Little did I expect I would be greeted by five elder brothers. They are cold, arrogant, distant, and dangerous. If only I knew I had stepped into a dangerous trap of lust, betrayal, and twisted feelings.

"Block him." "He's technically still my boss." "Then block him with dignity." The call ended again. And then started again. I let out a sound somewhere between a growl and a sob, then finally answered with the enthusiasm of a snail crawling through salt. "Yes, Mr. Walton?" "Have you changed your mind yet?" I collapsed onto the towel and gazed at the sky as though it might consume me entirely if I pleaded sweetly enough. "Do you ever take a break?" I asked, shielding my eyes with one hand. "You're avoiding the question." "Because it's a dumb question." He exhaled, the sound sharp and irritated even over phone. "It's not a dumb question. It's a business offer." "It's a weird offer-one that I already said no to." There was a brief pause, and I could practically hear him clenching his jaw through the speaker. "You are acting unreasonably." " Unreasonable?" I sat up. "I'm not the one drafting fake girlfriend contracts like it's a normal Tuesday." "Isabella-" "Certainly not, Mr. Walton." I mimicked his tone perfectly. "I told you I'm not doing it. You need to find someone else to play pretend with." SYNOPSIS Isabella Miller thought saying no to her boss’s fake dating offer was the end of the story. But Adrien Walton doesn’t take no—especially not when he’s convinced she’s a gold digger. Suddenly, her student loans are piling up, her father’s vet clinic is on the brink of eviction and her brother is about to be kicked out of college. Coincidence? She thinks not. Adrien Walton is calm, calculating—and he's just pulled every string to corner Isabella into the perfect position. Now she’s stuck choosing between pride and survival. So she agrees to his offer: be his fake girlfriend. No feelings attached. No drama. Just business. Or so she thought. "Conference Room B. Fifteen minutes," he said, passing by without a glance. The folder he pushed across the table landed with a thud. I opened it. The contract. All of it. --- Enemies to lovers? Check. Slow burn? Hmmnyea. Banter so sharp it might file your nails? Yes. Delicious workplace tension? Of course. Tension that could melt steel?Absolutely. Smut?? Wanna find out? Welcome to corporate romance warfare. There’s no escaping this contract.

He picked her up and took her home, but he couldn't watch her grow up. When they met again, he was a business tycoon who could call the wind and summon the rain. His possessiveness toward her became uncontrollable the moment he saw her again. He had never spoken words of love to her, yet he regarded every man around her as a rival in love. She kept her love for him a secret, but little did she know that he had always had ulterior motives, plotting for her to marry him. After a difficult marriage, the always gentlemanly and elegant man became like a wolf at night, entangling with her.

I died—and woke up inside a novel I was only halfway through reading. Not as the protagonist. Not even as a decent side character. No, I’ve been reincarnated as Brandy—the arrogant noble brat who gets crushed by the real main character in Chapter 2. And that protagonist? He’s a regressor. This is his second life. He knows every plot twist, hidden treasure, and future threat. And he’s not here to play fair. In his first timeline, he was beaten, betrayed, and broken. Now? He’s out for blood—and my family’s territory is his first target. If I lose, I don’t just lose status. I lose the chance to grow, to fight, to survive. He’ll rise. I’ll fall. Just like in the book. Unless I change the story. I still have Brandy’s memories, noble blood, and now, a fire of my own. This isn’t just his second chance—it’s my first. And now, it’s a race. A race between a hero who knows the future... And a “villain” who refuses to play his role. “He’s the regressor. I’m the rewrite. Let’s see who gets to the top first.”

I wasn’t supposed to be here. Not in this fallen temple. Not in this broken life. Reborn as a false priest, a lie draped in worn robes, praying to gods who had long forgotten me. This place was my prison. My exile. A tomb for a soul who had no right to hope. Then he appeared. A filthy man, reeking of sweat and something darker, something intoxicating. His eyes gleamed with wild fire, and a crooked smile tugged at his lips like he knew every secret I tried to hide. He sauntered in, voice low and teasing. "Well, well, what do we have here? A little lost lamb in a den of shadows?"He asked. "I am the last priest this temple has."I said. He laughed, a slow, sultry sound that sent shivers down my spine. "False priest, true sinner. You’re far too serious for a place like this." His gaze lingered a moment too long, the heat in his eyes promising danger and delight. "I’m not supposed to fall. Not supposed to want."I said. He stepped closer, breath warm against my ear. "Oh, but darling, temptation is the sweetest kind of prayer."He grinned. And just like that, my quiet exile shattered, torn apart by a demon’s obsession. A seduction incubus who wasn’t afraid to play with fire… and power me in ways I never expected.

That price was loyalty: eternal service, obedience, and slavery to the one and only lord over the lords—the supreme ruler known as the Overlord. The barons served him faithfully and dared not defy his will. They governed their towns on his behalf, maintaining order in exchange for privilege and survival. But everything changed when a new baron took charge of an independent town—Goshen, known for its flourishing cotton fields. Unlike the others, this town was not under the Overlord's control. The vibrant town and its cotton field became prey to the Overlord’s jealousy. The Overlord demanded control of the cotton fields. But the baron refused him.
