The host was completely dumbfounded: "......" Wasn't there a rumor that he was against marriage......? "Do you know why?" "Why?" "Because she is older than me, I was afraid she would run off with another man." The first thing the certain male god did after dropping this bombshell was to hurry home to hug his wife, carefully and flatteringly saying: "Um, I accidentally revealed that you're my wife on the show today.

In a world without day, where the sun is dead and monsters roam the blackened wilds, survival hinges on a single, brutal truth: if you do not bond your soul to an effigy, you will die.

But when his talent test brands him pathless and his mind collapses into madness, that hope dies. Now deemed useless by the clergy and society, Silas is left clinging to two things: a cursed second chance and the company of his two friends—Cassian, a rare Light-path prodigy, and Velira, a water-path orphan with more resolve than strength. When Silas undertakes the dangerous soul-refinement ritual, his effigy twists into something unnatural—part effigy, part monster What begins as a fight for survival becomes a descent into a deeper mystery: one that ties Silas’s unstable soul to forbidden relics sealed beneath the cathedral, hybrid monsters stalking the outer darkness With every refinement, every soul-splitting ritual, the cost grows heavier. And in a city where the clergy would sooner let you die than help you rise, Silas must decide: Will he follow the broken paths laid before him… Or carve a new one, even if it damns him?

A young man's life takes an unexpected turn when he meets an untimely demise, buried beneath an avalanche. As he breathes his last, he hears the echoes of mechanical voices resonating in his head, granting him a multitude of wishes in the form of Skills, Fortunes, and a new Body. Reborn as an Ice Dragon, Drake finds himself thrust into a fantastical realm reminiscent of Norse Mythology known as Yggdrasil.

Left for dead on a snowy mission, cast aside by her own master and the disciples she once called family, Li Shuang should have fallen into obscurity. But instead, she rose. Severing her past, she cultivates the Supreme Forgetting Love Technique, a path of clarity forged through heartbreak—not detachment. In abandoning the soul-bound Frostcut Sword, she finds something far older, far darker: the Black Abyss Sword, an artifact of lost history and buried power. Taken in by a new master and siblings who see her for who she truly is, Li Shuang begins to rebuild. But the world is far wider than one peak, and the continent is only the beginning. Cultivators travel between nations and empires. Mysteries simmer beneath the surface of every sect.

Throughout history, Humans have strived for greatness, not only in name but in deeds as well, and many failed to achieve it.  It was no different in a Land of Dragons, Mythical beings, Knights, Mages, Demi-humans, and demonic beings. But their greatness came in a different form, a concept known as POWER.  The power to conquer, to build, to control, to protect, and to love.  Raffaelo Jun was a man born with a silver spoon, yet his sheltered upbringing prevented him from becoming the man he was meant to be.  He was unable to achieve the greatness of the prestigious family of the Jun household and became a sight of ridicule.  He was used for a while until he wasn't, then discarded and killed for being a threat to the throne, but Fate had other plans.  Reborn as a child, he starts over as the sole son of the Jun household, his actions brimming with intent.  He had one goal: attain the power that he once ignored and stand on the precipice of human existence, to protect all that are dear to him.  Note: It starts slowly until recent chapters. Interesting side characters, power systems, techniques, and a mixture of variety with the right blend.

Yet, fate—and an ancient law—places him directly in her path. Their pairing defies tradition. Their connection challenges destiny. And their choices could unravel everything. When fire meets ice, kingdoms tremble. But when hearts entwine under shadows and stars... will they rewrite fate—or repeat its ruin?

In every tale, whether it’s a quick one-shot or a ten-chapter adventure, Zafira Blu guides customers (and readers!) through bold, romantic, magical, and delightfully humorous experiences, showing that in the universe of Ice Cream: Tales to Savor, desire is just the beginning of the fun.

**MATURE Themes, Language, & Content** “Wait, this has to be a joke... I’m expected to share a dorm room with a man? I was supposed to room with other women!” She screeched while holding the sides of her head. “A man?” The male eyed her up and down, “Did you think I was human?” “Of course, you’re human. Things like vampires, werewolves, demons, fairies, and such don’t exist. So, what else could you be other than a human being?! Don’t be preposterous!” “Last I checked, demons exist,” he coldly replied, looking offended. She snorted as she crossed her arms in disbelief, “What? You expect me to believe that? Yeah, right... Are you trying to tell me that you’re like a demon or something?”. “LIKE a demon? No, no... I AM a demon, and my name is Xinith,” he lowered his voice as he crossed the room toward her. She stepped back until her back was against the door, “That is utter bullshit. Now back up, you creep!” “No,” he said in a much lower tone, “not until you believe me. Do you want proof? Then say that magic word you humans like to use so much to find us.” One of her hands was reaching into her back pocket, where she kept a small pepper spray bottle. He noticed her hand and gripped her wrist tightly, enough that he overpowered her and pinned not just one, but both of her wrists overtop her head. “You shouldn’t have done that, little one,” he growled, his face nearing hers. The room suddenly felt like it was closing in on her. Her heart was racing, and it felt like it was in a pinball machine, causing physical pain in her chest. Her lungs felt like they were drowning, and her eyesight kept fading in and out. She immediately tried thrashing herself around but to no avail. She was having a panic attack, and he was the cause of it. --- Alex was ready to start the next chapter of her life: College!

Mimi's just a regular high school girl... kind of. Cute, sweet, and always glowing in her soft Douyin makeup, she's the type who smiles at strangers and leaves little heart stickers on everything she owns. With golden blonde streaks in her black hair and a closet full of pastel skirts, she's basically a walking filter. But her world flips upside down when her parents suddenly drop a bomb: she's getting married. To a Russian CEO. Who's ten years older. And doesn't even like her. Kijo Volkov is cold, ruthless, and way too busy running her billion-dollar company to care about romance - especially not with some high school girl who thinks love is pink and sparkly.

Now Mimi's living in her apartment, completely alone. Every morning she wakes up early to cook breakfast for a wife who never shows up. She goes to school, comes home, makes lunch, and waits. Kijo never texts. Never calls. Barely speaks. But Mimi doesn't give up easily. Even if her wife is cold, Mimi's heart is warm. Even if they barely speak... they still live under one roof. And this marriage? It's legally binding. She didn't ask for this. Neither did Kijo. But fate doesn't care what they want. And hearts don't stay frozen forever.

Title:섭우춘빙 (Seop Woo Chun Bing) Author: 밤꾀꼬리 Description: *Clang!* The mask split in half, revealing a face so extraordinary it seemed almost otherworldly. Skin as pale as if it would smudge with the slightest touch, a sharp and elegant nose, perfectly shaped lips. Every feature was as refined as if sculpted by a master artisan, untouched by the passage of time. Once jet-black like the night, the hair had turned as white as the snow-capped mountains of the northern lands. It was still beautiful, but a fragile, ethereal quality had been added, as if the figure might scatter and dissolve into the air at any moment. As the mask fell away, revealing eyes beneath fluttering, slow-blinking lashes, they shone like polished black onyx—noble and luminous. It was a visage so close to a work of art that it seemed a pity only Ye Kang-oh and the sun bore witness to it. However, in the presence of this breathtakingly handsome man, Ye Kang-oh’s expression began to crumble. There was no way he couldn’t recognize that face. Not because it was a beauty that could rival even Song-ok or Ban-ak, but because it belonged to someone who had once been Kang-oh’s protector. "Is it you?" Ye Kang-oh, the youngest disciple of the Black Sky Lord, stood before the man he had once revered and adored. Dan Woo-hyo, the Lord of White Virtue Palace, whom the martial world believed to be missing, was there. "Has it really been you all along?" ------------ I am NOT the author. I'm just translating this novel.
