Frozen Hearts, Hidden Lies

Lina Chen wakes from a coma with her engagement ring, her ex-boyfriend's face in her mind, and no memory of the past two years. To her shock, a ring adorns her finger—not the one her ex gave her. A pair of twins call her "mama." And a devastatingly handsome CEO, Ethan Blackwood, claims to be her husband. She doesn't recognize any of them. Terrified and disoriented, Lina rejects this strange new life and returns to her family and her ex-boyfriend, Ryan—the man she believes she was about to marry. They welcome her with open arms. But something is wrong. Ryan is unusually close to her best friend, Chloe. Her parents dodge every question about Ethan. And no one can explain why she has a scar on her wrist or why she flinches at the sight of stairs. Then the memories begin to surface in fragments. A restraining order against Ryan. Chloe's hand on her back—pushing. A letter Lina wrote before the coma: "If I forget, find me. Don't give up." Lina secretly reconnects with Ethan and the twins. He doesn't pressure her to remember. He simply shows her evidence—videos, documents, a diary—that paints a horrifying picture: her coma wasn't an accident. Her memory loss was induced. And the people she trusts most are the ones who erased her. Now Lina must pretend she's still lost while piecing together the truth. Because the closer she gets to remembering, the closer someone gets to silencing her forever. She thought she woke to a nightmare. But the real nightmare is the life she's desperate to forget.

The Enchanted Path

The Enchanted Path: A Secret Beam Within the Mist of Solitude ​In the heart of a profound silence, within a room scented with aged parchment and the history of dried ink, lived a girl named Delaina. She possessed a rare, ethereal beauty; her silken white hair shimmered like silver threads under the golden light of the eleven o'clock sun, as if woven from winter clouds. Her deep blue eyes, like a bottomless and mysterious ocean, were a mirror to the solitude that surrounded her soul like a towering wall. Her parents remained in a far-off place, beyond the high mountains and an eternal mist, leaving her with only faint memories and cold letters as companions. ​One day, overwhelmed by the ache of distance and the salt of tears upon her delicate cheeks, Delaina decided she could no longer surrender to the silence. She wandered toward a desolate, forgotten area on the outskirts of town—a place untouched by humans for ages. There, amidst the dust and shadows of ruins, she discovered a most peculiar book; bound in ancient leather, it held an invisible magnetic power. The moment she touched it, a warm vibration and a living energy pulsed through her veins, as if the book had been waiting for her touch alone. ​That night, while Delaina was lost in a deep slumber, the book awakened. A brilliant, radiant white light erupted from between its closed pages, illuminating every dark corner of her room. Delaina startled awake, her breath catching in her chest as she witnessed the glow emanating from the book. That beam was not merely light; it was a gateway to a new world, fraught with danger and filled with hope. In that moment, she knew her life would never be the same, and the mysterious mist that once shrouded her world was finally beginning to clear, revealing the hidden truths.

Blackwood & Blackberries

[Warning: This story contains dark themes. Expect dangerous plot twists ahead.] Hint** The burning starts at chapter 8 --------------------------------------------------------------- I came to Thornwood with one rule: keep my head down, survive on my scholarship, and never let anyone notice that the scars on my arms hum with a light that shouldn't exist. Then Silas Blackwood noticed me. Cold, beautiful, and built from old money and older graves, Silas should have been my biggest red flag. Instead, he became my shadow—memorizing my coffee order and leaving blackberries on my desk like dark offerings, their juice staining my notes like the blood he’s sworn to protect. When he touches the burn scar on my wrist, he isn’t just checking if I’m warm—he’s checking if the ancient power inside me has finally woken up. Because Thornwood is more than an elite university. It is a fortress built atop a thinning veil, guarded by secret societies like the Order of Thorns. Beneath its ivy-covered walls are buried bloodstained legacies and a supernatural truth dangerous enough to trigger a global war. I am the "Tethered Soul," a key to a primordial power, and suddenly I’m at the center of a deadly, multigenerational game of occult warfare. Silas was bred by his ancestors to be my executioner, a weapon of shadow meant to seal my fate. Instead, he’s gone rogue, choosing to burn the world and his own legacy to keep me alive. Silas Blackwood was supposed to be my downfall. Instead, he became my favorite ruin. [Billionaire × Scholarship Student | Dark Academia | Obsessive Love | Enemies-to-Lovers | HEA

(BL)Capturing Blue

In the quiet corridors of an ordinary high school, Kin is the kind of boy everyone admires. Gentle, attentive, and effortlessly charming, he carries a reputation for kindness that makes teachers trust him and students adore him. To most people he seems almost perfect—handsome, soft-spoken, and warm. Only one detail unsettles those who look too closely: his eyes. They are dark, bottomless things, like empty space where light disappears. For years Kin has lived carefully behind that pleasant mask, patiently observing the people around him while searching for something only he seems to understand—a color he calls the “perfect blue,” a spark of happiness in someone’s eyes that he has never quite been able to find. Until the day he notices Sute. Sute is everything Kin’s polished world ignores. Quiet, withdrawn, and endlessly bullied, he drifts through school like a ghost no one wants to acknowledge. At home things are even worse; the boy is trapped in a life of neglect and cruelty, his parents treating him as if he were something disposable. Yet once—just once—Kin catches sight of Sute smiling, and in that fleeting moment Sute’s icy blue eyes light up with a brilliance Kin has never seen before. To Kin, that color becomes an obsession. Soon after, Sute vanishes. The police believe he has been kidnapped, launching an investigation that quickly spreads through the town and the school. Flyers appear. Teachers whisper. Students speculate about what kind of monster could have taken such a fragile boy. But the truth is stranger than any rumor. Sute was not taken. He was thrown away. And Kin was waiting. Behind the locked door of Kin’s quiet home, far from the cruelty Sute once knew, the boy begins a new life as the captive of the one person who ever noticed him. Kin calls what he did kidnapping, fully aware that the world would see him as a criminal. Yet Sute, for the first time in his life, finds warmth there—warm meals, clean clothes, careful hands tending to his wounds, and someone who watches him as if he is precious. Grateful and overwhelmed by the affection he has never known, Sute makes a vow that surprises even Kin himself: if this is captivity, then he will devote his life to it. To Kin. To the person who saved him from a world that never wanted him. But love built on obsession is fragile, and happiness that grows in secrecy rarely stays hidden forever. As detectives begin to close in on the mystery of Sute’s disappearance, other dangers begin to surface—people whose curiosity, desire, or cruelty threaten to expose the delicate life the two boys have created. Kin, whose gentle reputation hides a far darker nature, is willing to do anything to keep Sute by his side… even things that cannot be forgiven. Meanwhile Sute, once a victim of abandonment, finds himself tangled in a bond that is equal parts devotion, dependency, and something disturbingly close to love. In a story that blurs the lines between protection and possession, innocence and obsession, two broken boys attempt to build a fragile world of their own—one where happiness exists only as long as no one breaks down the door. But when the outside world inevitably comes searching, the question becomes impossible to ignore: Is this a rescue waiting to happen… or the only home Sute has ever truly wanted?

Banshee: The Silent Deputy

Ben wakes up in the wreckage of a brutal car crash, his body shattered and his memories a blur. He has transmigrated into the role of a deputy in Banshee, Pennsylvania—a town where the law is just another gang and the real Sheriff is an imposter. Unlike the others, Ben carries "The Wolf’s Heritage," a set of innate supernatural abilities that allow him to survive the town's extreme violence. Walking the razor's edge between his duty as a lawman and his instincts as a predator, Ben becomes the silent variable in the war between Lucas Hood and Kai Proctor. He isn't interested in justice so much as survival and protection, but in a town like Banshee, the only way to protect what’s yours is to be the most dangerous thing in the woods. The Wolf’s Arsenal: The Powers Violence Mastery: An intuitive, passive understanding of combat. Ben perceives violence as a language or melody, allowing him to track multiple opponents, recognize predictable rhythms in an attack, and turn chaotic brawls into a choreographed slaughter. Pain Conversion: A survival-based passive ability. Instead of being sidelined by injury, Ben’s system converts physical pain into adrenaline and combat focus. The more he is hurt, the faster and more precise he becomes—until the "crash" hits after the adrenaline wears off. Regeneration: A grounded but powerful healing factor. Ben can survive wounds that would kill normal men, such as shattered bones or internal bleeding, which knit back together in real-time. However, this requires massive caloric intake and doesn't grant true immortality—instant-kill damage is still fatal. Criminal Instinct & Heist Intuition: A mental toolkit that allows Ben to see the "angles" in any situation. Whether he’s looking at a high-security vault or a crime scene, he instinctively identifies the weakest points, escape routes, and opportunities for exploitation.
