Bounded by Ink

Married to her college sweetheart, she builds a life around a man who slowly drains her spirit, her finances, and eventually her health. While she works tirelessly to support her husband and his family, Darven repays her loyalty with neglect and betrayal. Hospitalized and facing a life-threatening surgery, Leila waits for the man she loves to show up for her—only to realize she has been alone long before her body began to fail. When she returns home and discovers Darven’s infidelity, something inside her finally breaks—and awakens. For the first time, she chooses herself. Divorce papers in hand, she walks away from the version of her life built on silent suffering. But fate—or perhaps negotiation—intervenes. Rowan Ashbourne, the calculated and formidable CEO of Ashbourne Capital, needs a wife. Not for love, but for leverage. A powerful business deal hinges on his “personal stability,” and marriage is the final requirement. When Rowan’s car collides with Leila’s at the lowest point in her life, he offers her an unusual solution: a one-year contractual marriage. No romance. No illusions. Just ink on paper. For Leila, the contract is a shield—a way to rebuild, to prove she is no longer the woman who accepts less than she deserves. For Rowan, it is strategy, control, and necessity. But as two guarded hearts navigate a marriage built on negotiation rather than emotion, the lines between agreement and affection begin to blur. Bound not by vows but by ink, Leila and Rowan must confront their past wounds, their pride, and the unexpected vulnerability that grows between them. In a world where love once nearly destroyed her, Leila must decide whether this calculated union will save her—or break her in an entirely different way.

Fierce Ghost Apartment

Fierce Ghost Apartment Synopsis New Year’s Eve, 2026. Li Wei, a thirty-five-year-old Shanghai salaryman drowning in mortgage payments and credit-card anxiety, settles in to watch The Wandering Earth 2 alone in his 14th-floor apartment. One flicker of the screen later, everything changes. A cold mechanical voice echoes inside his skull: You have entered Parallel World · Fierce Ghost Apartment. From that moment, the rules are merciless. The temperature drops 10 °C every single day. A blizzard buries the city outside. And every knock, every voice at the door—your mother’s, your sister’s, your neighbor’s—might be a Dream Hunter wearing their skin. Answer once, open once, trust once… and you die. But the system gives him one weapon: Spirit Power. Rest in the bedroom to slowly recover it. Spend it to upgrade the apartment door’s protective inscriptions, lay lethal traps, install piercing crossbows that fire through solid steel, and summon an AI that hunts the hunters while you sleep. Then comes the gamble no one else has—the Super Random Cashback System. Every point spent could return 0.5×… or explode into 4.2×, even 10× later, turning desperate survival into explosive power growth. So Li Wei does the only thing he can: He freezes in silence. He ignores the frantic WeChat messages, the property management calls, the heartbreaking voicemails from his parents. He shops like a madman on Taobao and Dingdong—buying door reinforcements,paralysis sprays, magical heat crystals, and town-guarding arrays—while the temperature plunges toward –70 °C and the things outside grow hungrier. Day by day he transforms from a terrified tenant into something far more dangerous. In this frozen hell, trust is suicide, silence is survival, and every knock could be your last. A raw, claustrophobic masterpiece of survival horror, psychological paranoia, and addictive system progression. If you love Solo Leveling, The Infinite Flow, and the bone-deep dread of The Shining—but set inside a single freezing apartment where your family’s voices beg you to die—Fierce Ghost Apartment is the story you’ve been waiting for. Never answer the door. Never turn on the lights. And whatever you do… don’t stop reading. (Ready for the full novel, cover art ideas, or chapter-by-chapter promotion blurbs—just say the word.)

Transmigrated into Another Apocalyptic World (BL)

Luciel strived to survive in a world that was suddenly plunged into chaos by monsters. Unfortunately, the base he was staying at didn’t survive the monster tide. So, after surviving in such a world for 7 years, he died. Luciel thought he had died, but when he opened his eyes, he was met with peaceful modern scenery. After looking around, Luciel laughed with joy and said, “Ha ha ha. I can finally enjoy such peaceful scenery again! No more eating expired food! No more sleeping in the open space! And there is no need to fight daily! To whomever brought me here, thank you very much. I will enjoy this life to the fullest!” He also woke up in the body of a male model who had just signed to be the contract lover of their boss. "Hmm, $5 million and a house in the capital as a separation fee, and $100,000 as an allowance every month. The boss also has a handsome face. Ok, no problem!” Luciel did enjoy his peaceful life for a few weeks, but afterwards he found out that the world he was in was the apocalyptic novel he read in his past life. He didn’t want to live in the same way as his past life, so knowing that he was the lover of the protagonist who died in the first chapter because he ran away, he decided to stay and rely on the protagonist. Luciel just wanted to rely on the protagonist to have a better life in the upcoming zombie apocalypse. However, he was forced to deal with the people flocking around to rely on the protagonist, and he was even forced to fight again just to save him. “Hey! I just want to rely on you! Why do I need to deal with a lot of things?” “It’s not my fault that some things happened.” “What did you say?” “Don’t stare at me with such a cold look. Don’t worry; you can continue to relax and just rely on me. You don’t need to care about anything else, as long as you care about me!” “Huh? Are you still dreaming?” ------------ This is a story about how Luciel lives in another apocalyptic world and how his contract relationship with Treyton turned into a real relationship.
