가난한 척하며 남편과 결혼한 지 5년. 나는 드디어 모든 걸 털어놓을 준비가 되어 있었다. 그러나 남편의 첫사랑이 갑자기 유학을 마치고 돌아왔다. 시어머니는 미소를 지으며, 마치 나를 비웃기라도 하듯 말했다. “역시 원희가 우리 진영이랑 더 잘 어울리네.” “내세우기조차 창피한 누구와는 확실히 다르네.” 시어머니와 시누이는 기회를 봐서 내게 약을 먹이려 했고, 서원희는 그녀들과 함께 나를 내연녀라고 욕했다. 결국 나의 소중한 아이는 그렇게 유산되었다. 하룻밤 사이에 모든 것이 변했다. 회사의 부대표 자리, 강변의 별장, 한정판 스포츠카까지... 그들은 모든 것을 잃게 되었다. 나는 그들이 무릎 꿇고 내게 용서를 구하게 만들 것이다.

‘네가 되면 네가 해’라는 시스템이 탄생했다. “만약 누군가가 잘 못살고 있다고 생각되고 본인이 그 사람보다 더 잘할 수 있으면 상금을 획득하게 됩니다.” 딸만 바라보는 엄마, 가족의 책임을 회피하는 남편, 나를 창피하게 여기는 아들이 함께 나를 심판석에 올리길 바랐다. 세 사람은 모두 그들이 나라면 나보다 더 잘했을 것이라고 말했다. 만약 세 사람이 실제로 더 잘한다면, 나는 그들의 노예가 될 것이고, 그들은 사람마다 5억 원의 상금을 받게 된다. 반대면 나는 앉아서 15억을 받게 된다.

유치원 가족의 날, 남편 송지헌은 회사에 일이 있다는 핑계로 나랑 딸한테도 참석하지 말라고 했다. 실망이 가득한 딸아이의 얼굴을 보자 가슴 아픈 나머지 혼자서라도 데리고 가기로 마음먹었다. 그러나 유치원에 들어서는 순간 남자아이를 안고 소꿉친구 안소정과 손을 잡고 걸어가는 남편을 목격하게 될 줄은 몰랐다. 웃음꽃을 피우며 화기애애한 모습은 마치 진정한 가족 같았다. 곧이어 나랑 딸을 발견하자 송지헌은 눈살을 살짝 찌푸리더니 안소정의 손을 놓아주었다. “유미야, 오해하지 마. 소정은 싱글맘으로 독박 육아가 결코 쉽지 않거든. 오늘 아들의 5번째 생일인데 아빠랑 놀러 가는 게 소원이래.” 나는 의미심장하게 그를 바라보고 허리를 숙여 딸아이의 작은 손을 붙잡았다. “아리야, 아저씨한테 인사해.”

"Tsk. The only thing you're good at is being barbaric and sadistic. That's probably the reason why you haven't found a mate at 24!" My opponent taunted me after he failed in his 25th challenge.

I thought I would be a virgin for the rest of my life, but on the Howling Night, I had one-night stands with 5 Alphas. When I got pregnant, they all claimed that they were my baby's daddy. Trapped in complicated political machinations and a complex six-way relationship, I must navigate a way to tame my five alpha baby daddies.

冷戦が始まってから半月、5歳年下の彼から卒業アルバムの写真が送られてきた。 「姉ちゃん、この中でどの女の子が一番可愛いと思う？」 私は一瞬で目についた子を指して送り返した。 「ハハ、同じこと考えてたな！」 少し後、彼とその子が正式に付き合い始めたという報告写真が、私のSNSのタイムラインに流れてきた。

At the heart of Nigeria’s academic pride, Eko University, life for students revolves around exams, friendships, and dreams of a brighter future. But all of that changes when a cryptic video from an underground group called Zotes sends shockwaves across the nation. Their chilling ultimatum: the government must release 5 billion naira within a week—or face a nightmare unleashed. No one takes them seriously until the first outbreak.

Their only aim to survive. Now, with time running out and betrayal lurking among them, the group must fight their way through infected lecture halls and crumbling dormitories to find the cure and stop the madness from spilling into the outside world.
