Serun is the princess of a fallen nation who is offered to the god of the mountain to protect the people from winter, and she expects to die being eaten by wolves. But instead, she's saved by a giant white wolf who turns out to be the lord of the mountain and who asks her to be his bride. Serun is terrified and wants to get away, but this wolf seems to only care about her, even as he seems to know her from somewhere. Meant to be smut, so the story's not all there, but it's fine. Trigger warnings: murder, noncon.

Loretta and Alto are siblings not related by blood who have never gotten along due to Loretta's intense tsundere nature that makes it impossible to say what she means. But Alto recently had a one night stand with a mystery woman that he's desperate to track down, and Loretta has a secret: it was her all along. She's always loved her brother, she just doesn't know how to express it! It's pretty predictable stuff but not terrible. No explicit scenes, btw. Trigger warning: mild incest (siblings by adoption)

Linfeng is 16, and her father has just announced she's going to be a candidate for the emperor's wife, even though he's only 5 years old. Her only other options are the son of an enemy family and the notorious womanizer serving as regent, Canglian, so she goes through with the ceremony alongside several children candidates, but she plays a song that clearly expresses she doesn't want the position. To her surprise, the regent calls her back the next day, and asks her not to be the emperor's wife but his caretaker. Linfeng jumps at the chance and spends her days taking care of the adorable young emperor Ziyhou while getting to know Canglian better and slowly (and inadvertently) winning his affection. Trigger warning: gendered discrimination that is period appropriate, but still frustrating.

Byletta is the daughter of a knight family who seems too aggressive for marriage, until Arnald, a knight away at war, suddenly asks for her as his bride. She's sent to live with his family in the meantime and duels his alcoholic father to get him on her side, then befriends his sister and starts a business with her uncle. But a few years later, Arnald is coming back and she has no desire to be tied down as his wife, so she sends him a letter asking for a divorce. Arnald returns, and thinking that she's seduced all the men in her life, decides to punish her by offering a bet in which if he gets her pregnant in one month, they'll remain married, but if not, she can go. So now their month of marriage begins. Arnald is an idiot, a slut shamer, and a total asshole. Byletta is a strong FL, which makes it all the more infuriating to see her forced into the romance plot with him. Trigger warnings: domestic violence, dubcon, attempted rape.

Ayla is isekaied into a fantasy world where she ends up becoming the potion maker for a small town, until one day she wanders into a castle and finds a nearly feral dragon. It turns out he eats human souls (through sexual acts), and as the one person who doesn't get scared by him, her soul is the only one that tastes good! Very much porn with little actual story and some not so good consent. Trigger warnings: noncon, drug, somnophilia, tentacles.

Miyuki has always dreamed of getting back together with her high school boyfriend, so when she learns he died unexpectedly in a car accident, she gets totally smashed and ends up going home with a guy she mistakes for her ex. The next day, she finds out this man is actually Reiichiro, her new boss at work, and he's not willing to let this go as a one night stand. Miyuki worries that she shouldn't be sleeping with Reiichiro when she's still hung up on her ex, but Reiichiro insists that he won't let her go. Honestly, I think that Reiichiro's initial actions are pretty indefensible, even if it all ends up all right and he's a pretty good boyfriend for the second half. ️Trigger warnings: drunk sex, dubcon.

Akane really admires her famous fashion designer boss Todo, despite his tyrannical and moody personality, so when she finds him crying one day, she can't help but offer to do anything to help him. He then puts a collar on her and announces that his cat died, so she'll be his new pet, then begins doing sexual things with her. But Akane really likes Todo so she goes along with it, and eventually, their relationship becomes something more. I think Todo is a very interesting ML, both visually and in his personality, especially during his shy and tsundere moments, but the setup for their relationship is gross to me. Trigger warnings: dubcon, BDSM, drunk sex.

Llewellyn is the forgotten princess who just wants to leave the palace and become a nun, but she has bigger problems at the moment. She's been put under a lust curse that's slowly building up until she loses control and sleeps with a man who she can't even remember. Now she has to balance (or refute) the affections of the national hero who she blames for the death of her mother, a surprisingly invested guard, and a priest who is the secret son of the pope. I think the sex scenes in this one are actually well done and the story so far is interesting. My only complaint is that I don't love the guy who she's pretty clearly going to end up with, but that's just personal tastes. Trigger warning: drunk sex equivalent (curse).

A oneshot about the happily married couple Hikari and Shuuichi who met in high school, and ever since, Shuuichi has been very vocal about his love for Hikari. But Hikari starts to wonder if she's reciprocating enough. Cute quick read with some smut at the end. No trigger warnings.

Mizuho got sick of city life, quit her job, and moved back to her hometown where she ended up working for her father's friend Sugahara. Sugahara is sweet and takes good care of her, making her think he sees her as a child, but when she tries to quit her job to move on to other things, she learns that is very much not the case. A cute, quick oneshot. No trigger warnings.
