A standalone mystery suspense Boys’ Love manhwa series that was serialized digitally on Lezhin.
Synopsis:
Gitae Song wakes up locked in a windowless room with no memory of how he got there, and with one of his legs cut off. What keeps him from thinking it’s all some feverish nightmare is Jihun Cha, the man who brings him three meals a day with a gentle smile on his face. No matter how much Gitae curses, rages, and tries to fight him, Jihun treats him with nothing but sickly sweet affection. Though it disgusts him to the core, Gitae realizes his only chance at escape is to take advantage of his captor’s infatuation with him. But one wrong move, and there’s no telling what the smiling man will do—after all, the one who cut off Gitae’s leg is Jihun himself…

An ongoing romance-fantasy manhwa series based on the web novel of the same name. It has been serialized digitally on Tapas since July 2023.
Synopsis:
When Princess Philomel finds a mysterious novel that features herself as the villain, she’s quick to dismiss the similarities—sure, she may be a little spoiled, but she’s no evil impostor plotting the downfall of the empire! Or so she thinks, until the events written in the book start coming true, and she is forced to admit that it tells the truth, that she is what the story describes—a fake. And so begins her desperate struggle to change the future and avoid the horrific fate she suffers in the book!
Footsteps in the Snow

A manhwa title that is complete in a single standalone volume. It has been digitally serialized on WEBTOON.
Synopsis:
Blue snow falls from the sky, freezing everything it touches. In a world that has long forgotten warmth, a teenage boy named Sunwoo Seo struggles to survive. His prosthetic leg makes it even harder to walk in the deep snow, but he trudges on southward to keep a promise he made to a young girl he tragically couldn’t save. Apart from her frozen body he carries on his back, Sunwoo is all alone, until he is joined by a stranger with an oddly cheerful demeanor…and a bloody shovel in his hand.
