In a society ruled by ancient tribal codes, Imran Afridi and Emaan Karani commit the ultimate sin: they fall in love. Their forbidden romance across enemy family lines ends in tragedy when Emaan's brother murders Imran in a fit of "honor" rage. But the real story begins after the funera Imran's sister, Bushra Afridi—a modern woman who runs an NGO for oppressed women—refuses the traditional blood money. At the tribal jirga, she delivers an unprecedented verdict: she demands the rival family's prized son, Jams Karani, as compensation. Not as a husband for love, but as property. A living monument to her brother's murder. Now, Jasim—a successful businessman and proud heir—finds himself a captive "groom" in the enemy's haveli. Bushra thinks she's won. She believes she's caged a trophy to pressure the Karanis into surrendering the real killer. But Jasim is no passive prisoner. And as secrets surface suggesting Imran's death was more than a crime of passion, these two formidable enemies find themselves in a dangerous game where the rules are written in blood, and the truth might destroy them both.

When 24 year-old office wage-slave Liu Xinyue witnesses the execution of a ghost on her way to the office bathroom, she is forcefully thrust into a world of terrifying spirits, and unexpectedly, love. Recruited by a mysterious government organization, she is tasked with aiding in their fight against the supernatural. Partnered with Zhou Shihan to execute "Remote Combat Operations" throughout rural China, she now not only confronts real spiritual threats, but also an entirely new feeling: She's falling for the confident Shihan, who openly lives her dream life. With three weeks of close confinement together followed by a single one to process the experiences every month, the cycle propels their soon blossoming relationship ever forward. As their missions escalate from village threats to an apocalyptic monk with world ending powers, Xinyue must decide whether to cast aside her barrier of lies and live authentically, or remain locked away in her closet forever, with one ultimate threat remaining: Confronting her parents about who she actually is, and loves.

In the quiet town of Blackwood, secrets don’t stay buried—they wait. When Noah Vale transfers to Blackwood High, he does everything right. He keeps his head down. He blends in. He lies. No one questions the quiet new boy who never eats much, never startles, and never seems afraid—except Iris Monroe. Sharp, observant, and impossible to intimidate, Iris knows something about Noah doesn’t add up. He watches too closely. Moves too carefully. Acts like he’s waiting for something to go wrong. And when strange incidents begin haunting the town—missing animals, unexplained shadows, an unease no one can explain—Noah always seems to be nearby. Iris doesn’t believe in monsters. She believes in patterns. As her curiosity deepens, Noah’s carefully constructed lies begin to strain under pressure. Because he didn’t come to Blackwood for a fresh start—he came to hide. And whatever is stalking the town from the darkness isn’t interested in secrets staying secret. It’s interested in him. Caught between a growing attraction he can’t afford and a truth that could destroy her, Noah must decide how long a lie can protect someone… before it becomes the thing that puts them in danger. Because in Blackwood, the most dangerous monsters don’t announce themselves. They blend in. And some lies have teeth.
