Divine Headaches: Hades' Guide to Pantheon Level Drama

Hades, Lord of the Underworld, has had enough of being the boogeyman of the Greek pantheon. After eons as the brooding, underappreciated ruler of the dead, he decides it’s time for a change—one that might improve his reputation and give him a break from his unchanging duties. So Hades does what any ancient, immortal god desperate for a rebrand would do—he becomes a licensed therapist. Welcome to the Underworld Wellness Centre, where divine beings are invited to unpack their trauma instead of unleashing it on humanity. What begins as a well-meaning attempt to improve his reputation (and perhaps prove he is the only functional adult in the Greek pantheon) quickly spirals into chaos. Because gods, it turns out, are terrible at self-reflection. His clients range from serial cheaters allergic to accountability, narcissists with control issues, and immortals nursing mommy and daddy issues older than civilization itself. And just when Hades thinks he understands dysfunction, deities from other mythologies start booking appointments—each one more volatile than the last. Between marriage crises, existential meltdowns, and one terrifying goddess who can’t decide whether she wants to devour him or seduce him, Hades finds that managing the dead was significantly easier than managing the living egos of the divine. The question is no longer whether Hades can fix them. It’s whether immortal natures are as unchangeable as the fates that bind them… and whether the Lord of the Dead can survive the emotional (and physical) carnage of his own clients.

The Villainess They Refused to Abandon

In a galaxy where women rule and men are treated as second-class citizens, Lady Eva Aurelia Von Astra is known as the most hated woman in the Federation. As the daughter of the legendary business tycoon Celestia Von Astra and the feared Poison King Darius Von Astra, Eva possessed wealth, power, and influence beyond imagination. Yet her arrogance, cruelty, and obsession with control earned her countless enemies—including her three husbands, who suffered under her domestic abuse and grew to despise her. Then one day, everything changed. After a mysterious accident, a young woman named Eva awakens in the villainess's body with no memories of her past and no knowledge of the world she now inhabits. Surrounded by people who hate her and burdened by the sins of a woman she doesn't remember being, Eva finds herself struggling to survive. To make matters worse, House Astra has fallen from its former glory. Betrayed by those they once trusted, her parents have lost everything and are now living in poverty while powerful enemies wait for the perfect opportunity to destroy them completely. With three husbands who distrust her, a broken family to protect, and a society built on discrimination and hidden corruption, Eva must uncover the truth behind the villainess's past while rebuilding House Astra from the ashes. But as long-buried secrets begin to surface, Eva discovers that the original owner may not have been the monster everyone believed her to be. In a world where power determines fate and love is the rarest treasure of all, can a woman with no memories save a family that isn't hers, earn the trust of three men who hate her, and change a galaxy determined to remain the same? Or will the sins of the villainess consume her before she learns the truth?
