Palace of the Omega by Fumi Tsuyuhisa

 

The omega prince of a poor nation has been sold off to a wealthy alpha king for political and financial gain, but all is not as it seems.

Ilia, the 13th prince of a small kingdom, was born an unexpected—and very much unwanted—omega whose birth brought shame upon his royal family. As the lowest-ranking member and an omega, he is destined for a political marriage meant to improve his kingdom’s standing.

Resigned to his fate, Prince Ilia travels to his new faraway home. Upon entering the king’s gilded palace, where he’s expecting to meet his future husband, he instead finds a mysterious young boy with an unsettling message.

Business as Usual (2025)

 Sometime you need something sweet and not complicated. Business as Usual is exactly that. Two boys met at 20 years old, and they are new to real love and also a little bit stupid. Miscommunication and lack of confidence led them to break up without a real reason. 8 years later they met again, and this time Jin Hwan wants to keep Kim Min Jun in his life forever. I liked that they did not deny their feelings, despite the trouble to make them work. And I liked that, after the happily ever after, there was indeed a glimpse in their common life, that not always is easy and peachy. Good one, a little bit sexy (but not too much, they are Korea after all, a lot of smut in the paper (also this one is adapted from a webtoon) but not so much on screen). HEA. You can see it on Viki. Heat Level: 4/6.

Heat Level:
1/6: glances, caress, hugs, no kisses
2/6: kisses, closed mouth or camera angles
3/6: full kisses, clothes on

5/6: most clothes off, they have sex, but it’s masked, no sexy sounds
6/6: full nudity mostly hidden by camera angles, they have sex, sexy sounds
