My Contract Marriage with my Narcissist Boss

Kang Hye-rin thought she’d buried her past — especially the memory of Lee Joon-hyuk, the boy who once humiliated her in front of their entire school. But fate has a cruel sense of humor. Years later, he’s her boss — colder, sharper, and infuriatingly handsome in a suit that probably costs more than her rent. And just when she’s finally learned how to avoid him, he makes an offer that flips her world upside down. A contract marriage. ₩150 million now, ₩200 million after one year. No emotions. No strings. Just business. For Joon-hyuk, it’s the perfect way to protect his company and calm the board’s demands for a “stable” image. For Hye-rin, it’s the only way to save her family’s restaurant and pay off the debt her father took after her brother’s accident. But living under the same roof with a man she once hated — a man whose slightest glance still makes her heart stutter — turns out to be harder than she ever imagined. Every argument sparks, every silence hums, and every accidental touch blurs the line between pretending and feeling. He’s arrogant, jealous, and dangerously charming. She’s stubborn, proud, and one heartbeat away from falling again. And somewhere between the lies, laughter, and late-night standoffs… their fake marriage starts to feel a little too real. Because sometimes, love doesn’t knock — it barges back in wearing a perfect suit and an infuriating smirk. Contemporary romance, Ceo, enemies-to-lovers, Korean setting, handsome male lead, strong female lead, slow burn, love triangle.

The Tyrant's Stolen Bride

Lucas Arden lost the woman he loved because he trusted the wrong person—his secretary, whose lies poisoned his heart against Lyra Ashford. A day before their wedding, he left for an “urgent business”, deciding to postpone their marriage without even asking her, believing she would wait for his return. To Lyra, that was the final wound. She ended the relationship, refusing to be the only one fighting for their love. But fate had other plans. To save her family from humiliation, Lyra agreed to marry the man her family chose—Rowan Pierce, her unexpected savior... and Lucas’s greatest rival. ++++++++++++++++++ [Excerpt of Chapter 01] Lyra struggling to catch her breath as she gave the driver the directions. Tears slipped down her cheeks, and she quickly wiped them away with a trembling hand. She failed to notice another passenger sitting in the front of her. The man simply raised a finger—a silent gesture instructing the driver to do exactly as she said. The cab lurched forward, speeding away into the night, while the man's lips curled into a cold, amused smile as he watched his long-time rival fling his jacket to the ground in frustration. Rowan Pierce, a man in a suit, sat quietly as Lyra's soft sobs filled the cab, drifting through the air like a mournful song. He said nothing, having already witnessed the scene unfold. Lyra gazed out the window, hoped the passing cityscape might ease the weight on her chest. Every part of her loved him, yet that same love was what broke her heart when things went wrong. Her thoughts were a tangled mess, and the urge to scream clawed at her throat—but then she remembered she was still in the cab. So she punched the seat in front of her as hard as she could, treating it like a makeshift punching bag. Rowan didn't feel much from the blow, but he did raise a brow—apparently, his seat had just become her therapist.
