Seok Hye-su has long since moved on from her high school heartbreak—or so she thought. Life in Incheon is predictable, and that’s just how she likes it. But everything changes one chilly afternoon when the flashing of cameras and the hum of a growing crowd pull her attention. Turning the corner, she sees him: Dong Chan-wook, now a famous singer, surrounded by fans and media. Years ago, he was the boy who promised to love her forever, only to shatter that promise in pursuit of fame. And now, standing in the spotlight he left her for, he looks as shocked to see her as she feels to see him. As their paths unexpectedly cross again, old wounds resurface and sparks ignite. But fame has made Chan-wook untouchable, and Hye-su has vowed never to let herself be hurt again. Can they rewrite the story of their past, or are some chapters better left closed? In this heartfelt and unexpected reunion, Fame and First Love explores love, loss, and the question of whether some stars are meant to shine together—or apart.

Lin Jiaxuan once lived a life of cold detachment—estranged from her husband, emotionally distant from her young son, and blindly in love with a man who never truly cared for her. In pursuit of her selfish desires, she abandoned her family and ran away with her lover, only to meet a tragic end when he betrayed her for wealth and power. But fate offers her a cruel mercy. She wakes up one year and five months before her death, just days before her divorce. Now armed with memories of the past and the pain of her regret, Jiaxuan is determined to rewrite her story—not for herself, but for the son who once feared her and the husband whose silent devotion she never saw. Yet redemption doesn’t come easy. Her husband, Huo Shenzhi, has grown distant and guarded, burying his pain beneath cold indifference. Their son, barely able to speak, clings to his father for comfort. And her past returns to haunt her in the form of Chen Yuze—the man who led her to ruin—still thinking he holds her heart. To make things worse, Shenzhi’s childhood sweetheart lingers in the background, beloved by his family and accepted by their son, making Jiaxuan feel like an outsider in her own home. As she fights for forgiveness, battles her own guilt, and tries to reclaim her place in the hearts of the ones she once hurt, Jiaxuan must face the ultimate question: Can a second chance ever erase a lifetime of mistakes?

In the martial world, there circulates a mysterious and binding "Life-Death Contract." The bearer must complete a nearly impossible "task" specified in the contract within the stipulated time frame (which could be several years, or perhaps only a few days)—such as: killing a supreme master, stealing a sect's treasured artifact, or protecting a specific person until their natural death. Should the task fail or remain incomplete past the deadline, the bearer will suffer the contract's backlash and die a violent death. Once the contract takes effect, it cannot be discarded or transferred—it follows like a shadow. The contract's origins, method of creation, and ultimate purpose all remain mysteries.

In his past life, in a world ravaged by the zombie apocalypse, Alex, a strong and charismatic alpha, tries to lead his group of survivors. However, behind the facade of a leader, he hides a secret: he is in love with his secretary, Leo, an intelligent and sensitive beta. However, his personal life is in ruins. Leo, his beta boyfriend and secretary, has just discovered that Alex's family is planning an engagement with an omega. Tired of living in the shadow of expectations, Leo ends the relationship. With the abrupt end of the romance, the apocalypse arrives with fury, bringing not only zombies but betrayals and conflicts among survivors. Leo, in his search to understand his new role in this cruel world, discovers that he possesses a supernatural power: the ability to absorb the life energy of others, becoming stronger with each life he drains. However, this ability comes at a terrible price—he must face the loss of his humanity. As the two protagonists grow apart, Alex struggles with the pain of loss, while Leo is surrounded by challenges that force him to use his powers more and more. The world has become a place where survival of the fittest, and Leo finds himself torn between his new identity and the love he still feels for Alex. When their paths cross again, Alex realizes that to protect Leo and earn his trust, he will need to face not only the hordes of zombies but also the ghosts of his past. He must decide: can he accept the new Leo, even if it means confronting his weaknesses and the shadow of what he has become? The two support each other in a world in ruins, but the pressure from Alex's family to marry an elite omega makes everything more complicated. As zombies and survivors fight for power, Alex and Leo must work together, rebuilding what was broken and facing the dark truth about the sacrifices that love demands. Leo, who has always admired Alex from afar, feels the weight of expectation on his shoulders. He is the last person who would want to disrupt his beloved's life, so he decides to keep his feelings quiet. However, the chaos of the apocalypse brings unexpected challenges and, on one fateful night, Leo discovers that Alex's family is organizing a meeting between him and the omega, planning an engagement. Desperate and hurt, Leo confronts Alex, revealing his emotions. What should have been a conversation about survival turns into a deep outburst, where the two realize the love they have built amidst the destruction. They must decide whether to face the expectations of society and Alex's family or to give up their love to protect an uncertain future. Unfortunately, reality doesn't always have a happy ending. When an enemy uses an omega to try to infiltrate the group of survivors, Alex soon realizes this and pretends to fall for the beauty trick and takes the omega to the forest to get rid of him. After all, it wasn't the first time they used this trick and it always worked. But Alex made a mistake. He didn't know that the omega had a magical jade space around his neck where another survivor was hiding, waiting for the opportunity to kill him. The last thing Alex saw before he died was the omega transforming into his appearance and handing the necklace to someone else, apparently another omega. He wasn't sure because his vision was getting dark, but all he could think about was Leo. Reborn, waking up weak, sick, and the victim of a trap 2 years before the apocalypse Alex has to fix his relationship with Leo. With the zombie apocalypse lurking and the pressure from his family increasing, Alex and Leo must fight not only against the future threat of the undead but also against the ghosts of their insecurities.

Love of Fortune and Steel is a historical fantasy that weaves together romance, comedy, adventure, and the clash of worlds. James, a modern-day banker with an unwavering passion for history, experiences an extraordinary transformation during a routine museum visit. A mysterious supernatural force transmigrates him into a parallel medieval realm—a world familiar yet distinctly altered with its own unique nations, rulers, customs, and the presence of mana, a mystical energy that enhances martial prowess. In this enigmatic land, James encounters Bisera, a formidable and strikingly beautiful general of the Vakerian Empire, locked in a desperate struggle against the powerful Gillyrian Empire. Utilizing items granted by the supernatural entity, James saves Bisera’s life. Grateful and believing him to be a divine emissary sent by the Universal Spirit in response to her prayer, Bisera invites James to join her in defending the Vakerian Empire. As two souls isolated by their disparate worlds, a profound romance swiftly ignites between them. However, Bisera’s devout faith and the heavy burden of her responsibilities compel her to restrain their relationship, fearing that any overt passion might conflict with her duties and incur the wrath of the Universal Spirit, condemning their souls and the Vakerian Empire to ruin. James, enthralled by Bisera’s personality and talent, finds himself irresistibly drawn to her, yet frustrated by the invisible barriers she maintains. The vast differences in their worldviews and customs, coupled with James’s determination to return to his own world—an eventuality that might irrevocably separate them—act as chains on their blossoming love. With his modern knowledge and items, along with Bisera’s reliance on him, James quickly becomes an invaluable asset to the Vakerian Empire. However, this also makes him a target of Vakerian court politics and Gillyrian diplomacy. Their bond is further tested with the arrival of Saralta, a bold and free-spirited cavalry commander from the Vakerian steppes. In stark contrast to Bisera’s reserved and devout nature, Saralta pursues James with unbridled confidence and charm, challenging Bisera’s deeply held beliefs. Saralta’s liberal approach to love ignites a complex and often comical love triangle, forcing Bisera to confront her fear of losing James to Saralta’s advances and her greater dread of endangering their souls should they succumb to their feelings. As the Gillyrian onslaught intensifies, James, Bisera, and Saralta are swept into a maelstrom of love, duty, and faith. Bisera grapples with her unwavering sense of duty and steadfast faith, torn by the love that binds her to James. Saralta oscillates between the allure of freedom and the demands of propriety. Meanwhile, James must navigate his deep emotional devotion to Bisera and his fiery physical attraction to Saralta, all while striving to find a way between the two worlds before losing them both.

"You're back!" Elara sprang from the wooden bench near the door as her brother stepped inside, bruised and bleeding. "Caelum, what happened this time?" she gasped, rushing to his side. Caelum Solis, a lean young man with tousled brown hair and piercing blue eyes, winced as he slumped into a chair. "Nothing new. Just a couple of thugs who wanted my coin more than I did," he muttered. They lived alone—just the two of them. He was all she had left, and she was the reason he kept going. Though he’d trained enough to pass the Guild’s physicals, his damaged mana core had left him stranded at F-rank, doing odd jobs no real adventurer wanted. Finding lost pets. Cleaning stables. Picking herbs. Barely scraping by. Elara, though gifted, suffered from a mana sickness that slowly stole her sight. Her treatment was expensive, and Caelum pushed himself to the brink just to afford the basics. Still, it was never enough. That night, as he tucked her into bed, he whispered, “Tomorrow, I’ll change everything.” --- At the edge of a newly discovered dungeon, Caelum stood behind a party of stronger adventurers. They snickered. “Dead weight’s here,” one said under his breath. He ignored them. He always did. Darius Flint, the B-ranked leader, raised a hand. “Standard sweep. It’s marked D-rank, but stay alert.” They entered the cave-like dungeon, and at first, everything was simple. Feral goblins. Weak beasts. The team barely broke a sweat. Caelum trailed behind, hauling gear. Only one person treated him kindly—Arianne Vale, a C-ranked healer with silver hair and a sharp tongue for bullies. Hours passed. Then the dungeon began to tremble. “Is it collapsing?” someone asked. “No... it’s shifting,” Darius muttered. “Stay close.” Then came the roar—deep, guttural, wrong. Darius's face paled. “Retreat! Everyone fall back!” But the floor gave way. They dropped into a massive chamber ringed with statues holding weapons. In the center, blazing with living fire, was the Pyroclasm—a beast of flame and fury. People panicked. Two adventurers made a break for the exit and were instantly decapitated by the animated statues. “Form a circle!” Darius barked, but chaos had already taken hold. A statue lunged. Caelum grabbed Arianne and dove aside. “Behind us!” he shouted. Adventurers were being cut down left and right. Desperate, Caelum yelled, “Run toward the Pyroclasm!” “Are you insane?” someone cried. “We’ll die either way!” Dragging Arianne, he sprinted forward. The Pyroclasm shrieked and surged toward him—then vanished into him. Caelum screamed as fire tore through his veins. His body writhed, burning... then exploded in a shockwave. The statues faltered. “Flame adaptation: mastered.” He rose. Flames clung to him like armor. Statues charged. He raised his hand—and fire answered. Explosions. Destruction. “Golems destroyed. Leveling up.” As silence fell, he collapsed, still smoldering. “Heal him!” Darius shouted. Arianne was already by his side.
