Enemies to lovers: friends with benefits?

Aria Larkspur is the most reliable agent of the Dimensional Transit Bureau, an organization that repairs unstable storylines across countless worlds. When the dangerous White Moonlight Series begins collapsing, Aria receives a high-risk mission: enter each world and become the male protagonist's unforgettable "White Moonlight." A White Moonlight is the most beautiful memory in someone's heart-the person they loved deeply but could never truly possess. Aria's task seems simple: gain the male lead's trust and stabilize the storyline. But every world proves far more dangerous than expected. Some male leads are cold and suspicious. Some are broken and obsessed. Some refuse to let their "moonlight" leave at all. The deeper Aria goes into the mission, the more tangled the emotions become. Memories blur, trust rises dangerously, and hearts refuse to forget her. Soon Aria realizes a terrifying truth. Being someone's White Moonlight doesn't mean being loved from afar. Sometimes... It means becoming the one person they will never let escape. Arc 1 - Broken Moonlight After waking from a coma, Aria faces her childhood friend's cold revenge while pretending amnesia to rebuild trust. Arc 2 - Guardian's Moonlight Aria saves a bullied boy destined for greatness, but years later his devotion turns possessive, blurring guardian, savior, and love.

When Chairman Han forces his daughter to seduce the most powerful man in Seoul—Kang Min-Jae, CEO of K Group and father of her ex-boyfriend—she knows she’s crossing into dangerous territory. One wrong move, one wrong touch, and her life could shatter. Min-Jae is cold, brilliant, intoxicatingly handsome… and impossible to fool. He sees through lies. He reads hearts.

Battle Through the Heavens was my first donghua and also my first novel, and because of that it holds a very special place in my heart. Xiao Yan, his journey, his struggles, and his growth are things no one can truly replace, and I know that the original story is already complete in its own way. Still, as a fan, I often imagined a different path—one where family emotions play a stronger role, where bonds, loss, and protection become as important as power itself. This idea is not meant to change Xiao Yan or deny the original story. Instead, it is a personal re-imagining inspired by my own thoughts and feelings as a reader. I was especially inspired by the fanfic BTTH: Thunder Shattered by Yi Pin Ru Xi Yang Yang. I am not trying to copy it directly, but rather use it as a foundation and modify the story according to my own imagination—focusing on a more powerful background, deeper family relationships, and emotional growth alongside cultivation. I am not a professional writer, and this is not something I am doing for fame or recognition. This story is purely for my own satisfaction and love for BTTH. If anyone has thoughts, ideas, or suggestions, I am open to them, and I will gladly shape the story in a better way.

Ayen used to be part of the Adrift Organization, a private company of guides. However, as he was the lowest of his entire batch, and it could even be said that he was barely considered an E-class Guide with a pathetic amount of energy that made him no different from a normal person, he was kicked out of the organization miserably. He didn’t have a choice but to apply to the Guides Association, which was managed by the government, and that only meant he was now both a civil servant and a member of the military. With a meager amount of energy, and as the lowest-level E-class Guide at that, no Esper had ever chosen him. No one with their right mind would really choose him. And five years later, at a certain forbidden zone, Ayen met Khal and Devion, two dangerous SS-class Espers. Two Espers that no guide could handle, and a Guide that no Esper had ever chosen. Two different situations and an unexpected discovery. #Guideverse. #GuideXEspers #poly #throuple #1v2

What if the world became a survival game… and you were the weakest player? Bruce wakes to a nightmare — a frozen wasteland where endless snowstorms devour the sky, monstrous beasts roam without restraint, and civilization has long since collapsed into ruin. The warmth of the old world is gone. Cities lie buried beneath ice. Humanity stands on the brink of extinction. Every survivor begins the same way: With a single bonfire. In this merciless land, all resources must be gathered by hand. Every log of wood, every shard of stone, every scrap of food is earned through blood and frostbite. Monsters attack without warning. The night is colder than death. And beyond the flickering light of the fire… something far worse waits in the dark. But Bruce is different. While others struggle to survive, he awakens with a mysterious Camp System — a power that allows him to build, upgrade, and evolve his shelter without limits. What begins as a fragile flame in the snow may become a fortress. A sanctuary. Perhaps even the foundation of a new civilization. As ancient, corrupted entities awaken and the truth behind this frozen apocalypse slowly unfolds, Bruce must decide: Will he merely survive? Or will he conquer the Absolute Cold Era? In a world where winter reigns supreme… the fire has only just begun to burn.

The flight was only the beginning. Yulong has turned to ash, yet from the ash grow new shadows. The Dark King has changed his face—he now wears the features of a dead man, and those who look into his eyes do not see a stranger, but the neighbor from next door. His hunger is no longer his alone. His progeny roam the night, scenting life in the veins like ripe fruit, spreading like a curse across the land. Liyen follows a small flame. A tiny light in the darkness that neither flickers nor fails—the little Qi-Flame that dances through forgotten paths and leads her deeper, down into the earth where silence breathes and memories do not die, but wait. Down there, in the gullet beneath the world, the lost one is said to be. But what lurks in the depths is no prisoner—it is an exchange: A cage of flesh in which two breaths writhe—and only one may remain. Meanwhile, strangers open a door in the night. When this band of foreign adventurers appears in the darkness, the true journey has only begun. Instead of finding refuge, they find a blood-feast and smiles that almost reach the eyes. For sometimes the greatest danger is not the monster you fear, but the friend who smiles at you—whose teeth only show when the moon loses its blood. Now stands the choice: To speak the warning and be branded mad—or to remain silent and watch with living flesh as trust turns to slaughter. (Volume 3 of The Beast Within series – The Bloodclaw—a direct sequel to "Yulong") A story about how sometimes the monster does not lurk beneath the bed, but beneath the skin—and about what price it demands to wear a face that is not your own.
