Gyeongseong Love Song

Some marriages are arranged. Some hearts are not. Gyeongseong, 1934. In a city where reputation is everything and a woman’s future can be decided over a cup of tea, Yoon Hae-won has always known that one day, she will be expected to marry well. She simply never imagined that her future husband would be a man she barely knows. Seo Tae-gyeom is everything a respectable husband should be: wealthy, composed, and impossible to read. He offers her a beautiful home, a name that commands respect, and a marriage built on an agreement neither of them had the freedom to refuse. He does not ask for her love. She does not offer it. But behind the polished doors of the Seo household lie unspoken histories, carefully guarded secrets, and a past her husband seems determined to keep buried. As Gyeongseong moves to the rhythm of jazz records, whispered scandals, and changing times, Hae-won begins to discover that the man she married may be far more complicated than the stranger she first met. And somewhere between formal dinners, midnight conversations, and the quiet intimacy of two lives learning to share a home, the boundaries of their arrangement begin to blur. Yet in a world where family duty outweighs personal desire and appearances can conceal almost anything, falling in love may be the easiest part of their story. Because what happens when a marriage arranged by others becomes a choice of their own? In Gyeongseong, every heart has a secret, every promise has a price, and the most beautiful love songs are sometimes the ones no one dares to sing.

The Dragon Heir's Secret Mother

She is his enemy. He wants her son. And he just asked her to marry him. “Marry me.” “W-What?” Selene came to the Northern Territory under a false name—Lina—with a single goal: to uncover the truth behind the black scales on her son’s shoulder and the identity of his mysterious father. Instead of answers, she finds herself face-to-face with Caelis Valerian, the Grand Duke of the North—a man feared for his ruthlessness toward mages, yet revered as the unwavering protector of the beast clans. To the world, Lina is nothing more than an ordinary woman. But in truth, she is Selene—a powerful mage and swordswoman, feared by bandits and respected by mortals. Her son, Claude, however, appears to be an ordinary little boy. So why does the Grand Duke take such a keen interest in him… to the point of naming him his heir? To make Claude his legitimate successor, Caelis offers Lina a three-year contract marriage—one she cannot refuse. What begins as a cautious arrangement soon shifts. Trust grows as the distance between them fades, and before they realize it, love begins to bloom. But love built on secrets is fragile. Selene is the legendary Lunar Frost Sovereign—the very enemy Caelis has been hunting, with a bounty placed on her head. And Caelis, unaware of the truth, hesitates to grow closer to her, believing her heart still belongs to the man who fathered Claude… his own brother. When the truth is finally revealed, will their love survive—or will their contract marriage shatter before it ever truly begins?
