Chase Sterling always felt like furniture. The kind you don't notice, the kind that's easy to shove in a corner and forget. He was used to it: people looked right through him, brushed him off like lint. But it only takes one phone call to erase a lifetime of being overlooked. When his estranged family meets a tragic end, Chase suddenly finds himself in charge of the sprawling Sterling fortune. Turns out, riches aren't the only thing the family left him. There's a curse running through his blood, warping love into something hungry and dangerous, impossible to escape. Vivian Ashford never set out to blow Chase's life to smithereens. Just one decision (a sharp, ruthless move at graduation) was all it took to set their worlds spinning out of control. While Vivian soaks up the Hollywood limelight and collects red-carpet headlines, Chase slips into his new role as Manhattan's most intimidating heir. But no matter how far they run, something keeps yanking them back together, like a stitch in an old wound that refuses to heal.

**She came to steal a plant. She left utterly destroyed and completely his** Aria Chen is a woman who wears many masks: brilliant hacker, underground artist, medical prodigy. But none of those identities can save her dying mother from a rare disease with only one cure a nearly extinct medicinal plant called Vitalis Radix, cultivated exclusively on the private estate of billionaire CEO Damien Blackwood. Desperate and running out of time, Aria does the unthinkable: she infiltrates his fortress-like mansion as a maid under a false identity, planning to steal the plant and vanish before anyone discovers the truth. The plan is simple. "Get in. Get the plant. Get out." Until she meets him. Damien Blackwood is power incarnate ruthlessly intelligent, devastatingly handsome, and dangerously observant. From their first encounter, the attraction between them is explosive, undeniable, and completely forbidden. When he makes her his personal maid, Aria thinks she's been given the perfect access to complete her mission. She has no idea he's been waiting for her. He knows exactly who she is. And he's going to make her pay. But his punishment won't come in the form of police or prosecution. It comes in whispered commands in the darkness. In his hands claiming every inch of her virgin body. In the way he teaches her that pleasure and control are two sides of the same coin. "You're mine now. Every hole. Every moan. Every desperate whimper when you beg me to let you come." Aria is a virgin who's never experienced desire, never understood her own body's capacity for pleasure. Damien becomes her sexual awakening and her complete undoing. He introduces her to a world of dark eroticism she never knew existed remote-controlled vibrators she must wear while serving his dinner guests, sex in his office while he's on business calls, punishments that leave her marked and aching and desperate for more. She becomes addicted. To his touch. To his dominance. To the way he makes her body sing with pleasures she didn't know were possible. Every encounter pushes her boundaries further. Every night in his bed pulls her deeper into obsession. He's possessive to the point of madness, jealous of every man who looks at her, determined to own not just her body but her very soul. "When I'm done with you, you won't remember your own name. You'll only remember mine." As Aria falls deeper into Damien's web of dominance and desire, her mission becomes impossible to separate from her feelings. Her mother is dying. Time is running out. But every night in his arms makes her question what she's willing to sacrifice. When he finally catches her in the greenhouse, hands covered in soil and guilt written across her face, the confrontation is explosive. "Did you really think I didn't know? That I haven't been ten steps ahead this entire time? You played your game, Aria. Now it's time for mine." Betrayal. Rage. Raw, punishing sex that blurs the line between fury and passion.

In a world ruled by ruthless sects, immortal cultivators, and hidden powers, Sung Jin Ezio is nothing — no bloodline, no destiny, no gifted cultivation body. After being abandoned and left broken, Ezio is drawn into the seductive underworld of the Casanova Sect, where cultivation is not about swords… but about desire, illusion, and secrets. Behind the velvet curtains of the Velvet Pavilion — a forbidden nightclub where nobles and sect disciples lose their masks — Ezio learns how to read emotions, steal truths, and manipulate hearts. But when he steals forbidden teachings from the infamous Machiavelli Sect, Ezio gains a terrifying ability: to glimpse the future through probability and intent. Now caught between seduction and calculation, intimacy and power, Ezio walks a forbidden path where money, romance, and fate are all weapons. With a mysterious shadow named Lucifer whispering in his mind, and powerful women like the kitsune Kayra and the brilliant Machiavellian heiress Rosa drawing him deeper into their worlds, Ezio must rise from nothing — not through brute strength, but through strategy, secrets, and stolen futures. This is not the story of a chosen hero. This is the rise of a man who learns to own the world without ever being seen.

Heavenly Court lies in ruins. Star Constellation bleeds starlight. Fang Yuan's victory echoes across shattered skies. In the final shockwave, something is torn loose and swallowed by Chaos. Li Xiao Bai, an Information Path clone, carrying the last fragments of a broken heaven. He should have dissolved. Instead, he survives. He drifts through dead stars and hostile voids for years, sustained by ruthless calculation and fading Gu, cutting away everything that does not serve survival. When he finally falls, he does not return to his world. He lands on an Earth that is not Earth. A dying world ruled by the Nightmare Spell. Here, sleep is judgment. Nightmares are trials. Power is ranked, measured, recorded. Fate speaks in verdicts. The Spell tries to claim him under a stolen name. Gray. Then it notices the anomaly. A foreign will that refuses definition. The trial escalates to Hell grade. Li Xiao Bai does not seek acceptance. He does not ask for mercy. He seeks only one thing. Immortality. And he will turn this curse into a ladder.

Lemmy Wink, a naked, winged fairy and sworn Solo-Hunter of the Heartland Continent, races across hundreds of miles under a hunter’s moon after sensing a violent disturbance in the mystic glades—one of the most vital and sacred regions of her world. Gifted with hypersensitive antennae and guided by duty to her king, Lemmy serves as a hidden guardian of nature, moving freely through the wilds with unmatched speed and instinct. As she reaches the glade, Lemmy feels the dense concentration of mana—the living byproduct of the continent’s life force—resonating with her own semi-dormant Core of Power. Like all fairies of her race, Lemmy was born with a latent core that can only be awakened through dangerous, fate-guided trials. The number of trials required determines a fairy’s ultimate potential, and Lemmy senses she is nearing a critical threshold in her own awakening. Her first trial is revealed in flashback: an unexpected encounter while feeding among moon-lilies, where Lemmy is ensnared by an intelligent, enchanted vine. What begins as a struggle for survival becomes a deeply destabilizing experience, overwhelming her senses and triggering her first uncontrolled mana flare. The snare proves less like a mindless trap and more like a deliberate test—one that drains her strength and binds her completely. The true architect of the trial soon appears: a mysterious human woman of immense presence and unsettling intent. Viewing Lemmy not as prey but as a long-awaited key, the woman claims the fairy and carries her away to a secluded cabin, speaking cryptically of an imminent “breakthrough.” As Lemmy is taken from the glade, she realizes her trial is far from over—and that her capture may be directly tied to the awakening of her core and the path she is destined to walk.

Adrian awoke in the world of his novel as an Extra who looked exactly like himself, from his face to his name. However, he possessed a beautiful life and had everything he had ever wanted—completely different from his previous life. He believed his novel had given him a gift by creating a happy version of himself who had it all—without his knowledge. But that happiness was not free... After a few days of searching, he finally realized that the 'Safe Zone' he was currently in was different from his main character's, and the distance between them was almost an entire continent. 'What is a Safe Zone?' A Safe Zone is a place where humans who survived the Great Calalys gathered. They built massive walls to shelter from the incredibly powerful monsters that emerged from the gates—now called First Generation Monsters. The Great Calamity scattered humanity, and the survivors believed they were the only remaining civilization. The problem was... Adrian had always written the story from his main character's point of view and knew nothing about life outside of it. He had only written that there were other Safe Zones out there. His knowledge of the plot was useless because he was in a different place, and worse yet... The plot connection between him and his main character was that his Safe Zone would be found completely destroyed, without a trace. Back then, he had written that merely as a spice for his novel's mystery, to make it better. But now he realized the consequence: He had written his own death. Now, Adrian was trapped in a writer's worst dilemma. To survive, he had to do the impossible: change the fate he had set himself as The Creator. However, in a world that ran on narrative logic, saving himself was not an action without consequences. Every deviation from the storyline could draw the attention of "World Law"—an abstract force that would attempt to "fix" the broken plot, in ways potentially more cruel than mere monsters. At the crossroads between his valuable new life and the stability of the world's story, Adrian had to decide: Was it better to die as inspiration for the hero, or to live as an anomaly that could collapse everything? This is not a tale about becoming a hero in a new world. This is an Extra's war against a death-fate like a ticking time bomb that he wrote himself. And even if he succeeds? This world, running on narrative logic, may not let him be.
