[Mature Content] [Dark Themes] Catherine Lane had the perfect job in Midnight City, secretary to Ares King, the impenetrable billionaire bachelor, infamously known as the devil CEO. To the outside world, Catherine's life was nothing short of flawless, but in reality, she struggles with debts on the verge of ruining her life. To avoid harassment, she decides to quit and get the cut that comes with it. As if that wasn't enough, her long-term boyfriend cheated on her, claiming she's a wreck with no future, and he's better off without her. Heartbroken and devastated, Catherine is grasping at the last straws when her boss, Ares King, proposes a contract out of the blue. "Become my wife for one year." "Why me, Mr. King?" "Because we work, Ms. Lane.” The last thing she wanted was to make a deal with the devil. But this offer is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Sell your soul to the devil for one year. How hard can that be? ********** "How many?" I froze. Did he expect me to count? "How. Many?" "I-I don't—Ah!" Ares spanked me again, continuously. My eyes stung, and sweet pain overtook me. I should feel sick from deriving pleasure from this, but strangely, I wasn't. "Two?" I teased, purposely getting the numbers wrong. "You shouldn't have done that." Just as I thought, he started again, but this time he drove each hit with more force until my ass was burning. "Fifteen!" I yelled, shaking. "Wrong." My heart momentarily stopped. "I got it right!" "You missed one." He pressed his hand on my searing bottom, and I moaned. I tried to squirm away, but he trapped my hands behind my back, his voice dark with warning.

Shu Yao has always loved Bai Qi. Silently. Secretly. With the kind of devotion that doesn’t ask to be returned. But Bai Qi has never looked his way—not like that. His eyes have always been on Shu Yao’s younger sister, Qing Yue. Bright, soft-spoken, radiant in the ways Shu Yao was told boys should never be. So Shu Yao stays quiet. He smiles when he must. He bleeds where no one can see. When a high fever forces him to break his routine and drop his mask, everything begins to shift. Bai Qi offers help—clumsy, well-meaning, but blind to the damage it causes. Shu Yao, too used to locking his doors and swallowing his ache, can’t bring himself to let it in. Not when every kindness feels like pity. Not when his dreams are haunted by things he can’t say aloud.

Born of both Uchiha and Senju lineage, Chiba is a child of two legendary clans—yet he is rejected by both. The Uchiha refuse to acknowledge him, denying him their name. The Senju, long faded from Konoha's power structure, offer him no support. Isolated by the very village he once vowed to protect, Chiba grows up as an outcast, neither embraced by the clan system nor accepted by the people of Konoha. When Chiba's older brother, Chiyu, launches a rebellion against the Hidden Leaf on his own, the village is quick to lay all blame on him. Sarutobi Hiruzen: "You were the one who swore loyalty to this village, Chiyu. Why abandon us now?" Shimura Danzō: "You little brat... you dare to manipulate Root behind my back?" Namikaze Minato: "How are you able to keep up with my Flying Thunder God Technique?!" Chiyu: "You call me a traitor... but wasn't I cast out long before I turned my back on the village?”

Turning Me into the Villainess (I Wasn't Supposed to Be Reborn as the Villainess!) Lady Seraphina Hesperia De Gaspariz Was once the bright jewel of the royal family - proud, sharp, and feared by every noble girl in the kingdom. She carried herself like someone untouchable. People whispered about her temper, and some even called her stone-hearted. She didn't care. Back then, she thought no one could ever bring her down. But the fall came faster than anyone expected. The moment she lost the royal family's trust, everything around her changed. The maids who used to bow to her began mistreating her behind closed doors. Servants ignored her words. Rumors spread like wildfire, twisting small mistakes into cruel stories. And the nobles, who once acted careful around her, now watched her fall with eager eyes. Then came the final accusation. It was delivered by two powerful mans - Zyran Havoc Vane and Evan Felix Kierston. Their voices held no hesitation as they said: "Your highness, the servants have confessed. It was indeed Lady Seraphina who gave the order." A lie. A perfect trap. By the time the royal court gathered in the square to judge her, Seraphina was no longer the fierce girl everyone knew. She was pale from sleepless nights, weakened by betrayal, and her once strong gaze was filled with fear she tried to hide. The crowd whispered like a storm around her, each word hitting her harder than the last. Even Maverick, her fiancé, the man she thought would at least look at her with some warmth - kept his distance. He was cold, tired from war, and lost in the memory of a voice singing on a stage… a voice he desperately wanted to find again. He didn't know it belonged to someone near him. And Seraphina? She stood alone. The girl who used to terrify everyone was now the easiest one to break. Then her life ended. Seraphina begged not for justice, not for revenge, but for another chance. She didn't want to disappear with everyone thinking she was a monster. In another world far away, there was Nicole - a normal girl who loved manhwa princes and fictional heroes more than real people. She daydreamed too much, imagined herself marrying the characters she adored, and escaped reality whenever she could. When Seraphina's plea reached the heavens, Nicole was chosen - the one who would take over Seraphina's body and live again in her place. Now Seraphina's body opens its eyes… but Nicole is the one inside. A girl who only dreamed of fantasy is now inside a life full of danger, betrayal, politics, and a fiancé who doesn’t know he’s been longing for her voice. Seraphina is dead. But Nicole is her second life.

For five years, Nora Ashford wore frumpy cardigans, thick glasses, and kept her head down as Luna of the Crescent Moon Pack. She loved a man who grimaced when she touched him. She raised a daughter who learned to echo Daddy's disdain. She made herself small, plain, forgettable—because her husband, Alpha Killian Ashford, told her a "proper Luna" didn't draw attention. What Killian didn't know: his mousy, awkward wife was Phantom_N0va, the world's most wanted hacker. The tech ghost that governments couldn't catch. The digital goddess that billionaires paid millions to consult. Nora hid her brilliance behind dowdy clothes and fake stammers because she believed love meant sacrifice. She believed wrong. The night she finds Killian in bed with his "pack advisor" Vanessa—the woman who's been slowly poisoning four-year-old Mira against her own mother—Nora's illusions shatter like code crashing. Worse, when Mira walks in and sees them, the little girl doesn't cry for Mommy. She runs to Vanessa. "Don't be upset, Nora," Vanessa purrs, naked and shameless. "Mira knows who really loves her. A real mother. Not some… charity case Killian was forced to marry." Killian doesn't even have the decency to look guilty. "You're overreacting. Go back to your room." That's when Nora stops breaking and starts breaking free. She vanishes that night—not just from the pack, but from existence itself. Three years of silence. Three years of transformation. Three years of becoming the woman she always was beneath the disguise. When Nora returns to Silverpine City, no one recognizes her. Gone are the glasses, the shapeless clothes, the timid posture. In their place: a goddess with flowing auburn hair, a body that stops traffic, and the cold confidence of someone who's conquered worlds—digital and otherwise. She's the mystery CEO behind NovaTech, the startup that's disrupting every industry. She's the consultant that alpha billionaires beg to meet. And she's back for one reason: to reclaim what's hers. But Killian Ashford has finally woken up. His perfect Vanessa showed her true colors the moment she became Luna—cruel, greedy, abusive. His daughter cries every night for the mother he drove away. His pack is crumbling. His wolf is dying from regret. When he sees the stunning woman at the tech conference—the one every alpha is circling—his wolf recognizes her scent before his brain does. That's his mate. His Nora. Impossible. Too bad for Killian, Nora isn't his anything anymore. She's got a brilliant tech empire, a pack of loyal friends who actually value her, and most importantly—Darius Kane, the billionaire Alpha who's spent two years proving that real men worship queens, not dim them. Killian wants her back. He needs her back. He'll grovel, fight, destroy anyone in his path. But Nora Ashford learned the hardest lesson: you can't debug a man who's fundamentally broken. Some code can't be rewritten. Some hearts can't be trusted twice. The only question left is: can she trust herself to love again?

City-73 is dying. Factories choke the sky, mafias rule the streets, and Avalon—the world’s most powerful corporate empire—keeps the population quiet through fear, propaganda, and manufactured wars. Rey Deskan, a gentle boy who protects the last small tree near his home, lives quietly with his family—until the night his brother Zen steals a fossil from a rival mafia.
