Summary
A 21st-century historian, Lee Leo is a gifted-but-jaded academic more comfortable with dusty archives than people. When a rare artifact throws him back in time, he awakens stranded in 18th-century Joseon, armed only with his knowledge of the future.
His brilliant, anachronistic mind catches the attention of the politically isolated and haunted Crown Prince, Lee Sangwon. Appointed as the Prince's secret confidante, a deep and forbidden love emerges in the quiet sanctuary of the royal library. Leo must help his prince navigate a treacherous court and become the great king history remembers, all while knowing that every page they turn together brings them closer to a farewell written in time itself.

Summary
“Did you hear?” Jimin’s voice brings him out of his thoughts. He peeks up at him, then, a slight furrow in his brow. “They’re apparently going to try to get the emperor to choose a mate for himself.”
He snorts at the mere idea. “He’s been the emperor for several years now. If anything, he seems more concerned with executing people than with continuing his bloodline,” he says wryly.
“I bet he’s executed more people in three years than his father did in his entire time reigning over the country.”

Summary
Two noble heirs—Rumi and Jinu—whose souls have met before, bound by a blessing older than time. Born into rival families divided by politics and foreign power, they find each other again amid the twilight of a dying kingdom. As Japan tightens its grip and the dynasty collapses, their forbidden love becomes both rebellion and requiem. Dreams of lotus gardens and phantom vows haunt them, memories of a life once lived in another century. In a world where loyalty means betrayal and survival means surrender, they must choose between their families and each other, until the final day when love and Joseon fall together.

Summary
“I can’t leave you behind, hyung,” he said, his voice low but clear, each word deliberate. “Not you. I can’t leave someone I love behind.”
What?
Wonwoo’s heart stumbled, a sharp, sudden skip that left him stunned. Had he misheard? His eyes widened, searching Mingyu’s face. “...Love?” he repeated carefully. “What do you mean by that, Mingyu?”
Mingyu’s gaze did not waver. “Hyung must know,” he said simply, firmly. “You must know what I mean.”
Just when Jeon Wonwoo thought the world had nothing left to offer him, Kim Mingyu came, like spring after a long, cruel winter.

“Sweet talker,” King Yoongi spits out the accusation.
As part of a rebel human group, Hoseok plans to become the King's concubine in order to get close to him and assassinate him for enslaving his people. However, the closer he gets to Yoongi, the more complicated things will become.

Summary
It's been 3 months since Jinu died for Rumi and the new Honmoon established. Sometimes she doubts whether she knew Jinu at all. It felt like a fever-induced dream brought on by the panic of, you know, condemning the entire world to the whims of demonkind. But one night she hears the familiar sound of a pot being knocked on her balcony, and she might have to rediscover what it means to be truly gone.
Jinu's still here...but conditionally until the two of them go down a path neither can escape from. Falling for each other might be more complicated than they think, leading them down a rabbit hole that's littered with gaps in memory and time, faulty magical powers, and doubling it and giving it to the next person.
Rumi and Jinu must find a way back to each other through themselves, others, and time itself...? Shamanist temples, hunters past, and a couple of demons sounds like the perfect recipe for a healthy budding relationship!
The two disagree on most everything, but will their passion consume them or save them?
Together or separate?
Free or trapped?
Heart or soul?

Summary
Crown Prince Lee Hyunseo, the only son of the Lee Dynasty, has reached the age of marriage, yet no woman has ever stirred his heart.
Since the death of his mother, he has withdrawn from the world, refusing to meet any woman save his grandmother. Not even the new queen, his stepmother, could break through the silence he wrapped himself in.
And then, during one of his secret journeys among the people, he met Ahn Yujin—a noblewoman of humble lineage whose grace seemed to belong to no courtly measure. One glance was all it took, and Hyunseo found his thoughts turning restless. Days passed, yet her face lingered in his mind like an echo he could not silence.
He soon knew what he wanted: to make her his Crown Princess. Yet such a wish bordered on the impossible. The court would not allow a woman of her standing to sit beside a prince, and the laws of the dynasty would never bend for love.
Still, Hyunseo could not yield. To call her merely a consort would be an insult to what he felt—for when he looked at her, truly looked—he knew she was not meant to stand behind him, but beside him.
