[Enigma’s Academy] was a game with potentially hundreds of thousands of hours to experience. It may have been popular as a fantasy RPG game, but its main genre was as a dating simulator. Hah... A dating simulator with the elements of levelling up, killing demons, and somehow even trading with aliens of the greater unknown.

However now that I’m here, how am I supposed to prevent love from ruining the world? I swear it now- I will destroy the romance.

Kim Na Ri and Han Chae Soo were inseparable, their bond forged over years of being neighbors and the shared laughter of their families. For as long as she could remember, Chae Soo was her constant—a protector, a confidant, and perhaps something more. But everything changed seven months ago, when a tragic accident left Na Ri scarred, not just physically but emotionally. Since then, Chae Soo has been pulling away, his once-warm gaze now cold, his presence a ghost of what it used to be. Enter Lee Yul, the enigmatic new guy with an easy smile and a heart seemingly too kind for this world. Unlike Chae Soo, Yul doesn’t flinch at Na Ri’s scars—he embraces her for who she is, becoming the friend and comfort she didn’t know she needed. But his arrival stirs something in Chae Soo, something he’s kept buried beneath the walls he’s built around himself. As Na Ri tries to navigate the confusing distance from Chae Soo and the blossoming connection with Yul, secrets begin to unravel—secrets that might explain why Chae Soo is so determined to keep her at arm’s length. Is it guilt? Fear? Or something deeper, something he’s too afraid to admit even to himself? In this tale of love, friendship, and hidden truths, "Love At Side" invites you to uncover the reasons behind Chae Soo’s silence and the role Lee Yul plays in Na Ri’s life. Sometimes, the person you’re meant to be with is the one who pushes you away—and the one who stays might not be as perfect as they seem.

Some doors should never be opened. Some voices should never be heard. Elara Rook has always been haunted—by whispers in the dark, by fleeting shadows, by the unsettling feeling that she doesn’t belong to just one world. But when she returns to the abandoned Rook estate, the voices become more than just eerie murmurs. They become memories. Vivid. Terrifying. Real. One touch, one vision, and she is thrust into the past—reliving the pain, the terror, and the secrets of spirits who refuse to be forgotten. A girl trapped in a room that no longer exists. A scream that echoes through time. A warning buried beneath the house’s rotting bones. As Elara digs deeper, she realizes she’s not just an observer—she’s a key. And something, or someone, is waiting for her to open the final door. Somewhere beyond the veil, the dead are watching. And they are whispering her name.

The manager brought her into the set and warned her repeatedly not to mess with Teacher Chi. She looked at the beautiful woman, her eyelids twitched slightly, sorry, it’s over.

At the awards ceremony, backstage, Chi Shuang blocked her in the dressing room “Little Luer, I haven’t seen you for so long, do you miss me?” The corners of Lu Ci’s eyes twitched slightly, looking at the man’s restless hands “It’s only been two hours.” When seeing that person always trying his best to have intimate contact with him, Lu Ci once thought it was the sequelae caused by her ingesting too much of her own pheromone, and with a little apology, tried to cooperate with her thoughts.

One sunny day, Shen Jingwei, a Z-list actor, received an opportunity to attend an open-call audition the very next day. It was for the role of an antagonist in a new BL C-Drama, "Dance Of The Dragons", which was adapted from a novel of the same title. He agreed to join the audition due to several factors, among which his manager's threat to jump off the 20th floor, his dire need for money, and also the fact that his rank in the film industry could not go any lower. One look at the panel of judges made him want to turn on his heel to leave, but it was all too late. Because who would expect the poor Z-List actor to meet his mortal enemy/ex-boyfriend, Yan Renzhong, the A-List Actor responsible for his decline long before he even learned how to fly? ------------------ "You and I... are playing a couple of lovers, who will go on to get married and have children with each other." Shen Jingwei could sense blood coming up his throat. What was the point of saying it out loud, again? "Yes," he forced himself to agree nonetheless. Yan Renzhong pinned him with a stare. "We have unresolved issues from the past. I hope you won't let them affect your and my performance in the drama. Act the professional you are supposed to be." "..." "And don't call me 'Emperor Yan' anymore." Yan Renzhong left after delivering one blow after another, not even waiting to see if Shen Jingwei succumbed to his injuries or not. What? Whattt?
