With enemies closing in and her family destroyed, Ivy accepts the one offer she swore she never would—marriage to Damien Cross, the ruthless billionaire CEO responsible for her downfall. Their marriage is a contract. No love. No trust. No escape. But living under the same roof turns hatred into tension, and tension into something far more dangerous.

And Ivy was never meant to be his weakness— She was meant to be his undoing.

On a night when the full moon burned brightly over Seoul, Kang Taejun....the undefeated racing champion and heir to Kang Motors...lost control of his car after a sudden brake failure at the Yongin circuit. At that very same moment, in a small apartment in Mapo, twenty-year-old sculpture student Han Seoah was holding her dying black cat, Bam, in her trembling arms. The instant Taejun’s heart stopped, his wandering soul was drawn into the lifeless body of Bam. The black cat opened its eyes again....no longer with the innocence of an animal, but with the sharp, awakened gaze of a man who once stood at the peak of fame. Taejun soon realizes his human body remains in a coma, and that the crash may have been no accident, but a calculated move in a ruthless family power struggle. Han Seoah begins to notice that Bam has changed. He refuses cat food, watches racing broadcasts with intense focus, and even scratches the name “Kang Taejun” into the clay in her studio. As Han Seoah searches for answers, she is drawn into the dark secrets of the Kang family, while unseen enemies work to erase the truth. Trapped inside a fragile feline body, Taejun experiences a world far removed from roaring engines and flashing cameras, a quiet life filled with the scent of clay, plaster-stained hands, and the warmth of a small, imperfect home. Under the moonlight spilling into her studio, Han Seoah whispers that if Bam were human, she would have fallen in love with him already, words that stir something unfamiliar in Taejun’s guarded heart. As the truth edges closer to exposure, Taejun feels his soul being pulled back toward his comatose body. He must choose: awaken to reclaim his name, power, and vengeance, or abandon it all to remain by Han Seoah ’s side as a black cat beneath the same moon that bound their fates together. For on that night when the moon shone too brightly, the champion fell… and a love beyond status and flesh quietly began.

The Cat Between Us Xu Jin, a reckless second-generation young master, runs away from his wealthy family in a burst of stubborn rebellion. Determined to prove he can live independently, he buys an apartment, armed with nothing but confidence, a skateboard, and absolutely zero life skills. Meanwhile, Liang Chen, a gentle literature professor, lives quietly next door with his lively grandmother. Their home is calm, tidy, filled with tea fragrance and old books — the opposite of Xu Jin’s chaotic new life. Their paths collide in a pet shop when both try to buy the same white male kitten. A ridiculous bidding war ends with Xu Jin winning the cat, much to Liang Chen’s frustration. Neither realizes they will soon be neighbors — until moving day brings the shocking discovery that they live separated by only one wall. Xu Jin names the kitten Yunhu, and immediately learns that independence is far harder than imagined. He can’t cook, can’t clean properly, and now has a mischievous cat destroying his apartment. Next door, Liang Chen is endlessly annoyed by mysterious crashes, meows, and the unstoppable chaos leaking through the wall — yet secretly, he finds himself wanting to meet the kitten he cannot touch. As days pass, Xu Jin’s unhealthy eating and exhaustion catch up to him. One night, he collapses near his open doorway, too weak to seek help. Yunhu escapes to the corridor and scratches at Liang Chen’s door, leading the professor to discover the half-conscious Xu Jin on the floor. With his grandmother’s help, Liang Chen rushes the taller, delirious young master to the hospital in the middle of the night. Bound together by a white cat, thin walls, and an unexpected emergency, two very different lives begin to intertwine — setting the stage for slow healing, reluctant companionship, and a relationship neither of them saw coming

Damian: "Call it off." Ivy: "You think it's that simple." Damian: "Well, everything is simple, Darling!" (quiet pause) "If you choose me." Ivy: "Why me?" Damian: "Wrong question." Ivy: "Then what's the right one?" Damian: "The right question is whether you’d survive not picking me." Damian had one purpose from his childhood: "How can he prove his worth?" The only way that seemed to him was to ruin Veilith family. Break her family's legacy. And most importantly to never fall for Ivy. Never let her touch even one percent of his guarded heart. But Ivy isn’t the heiress the world sees. She grew up surrounded by people who loved her luxury more than they ever loved her. Even a fake smile has the power to overwhelm her. She has no idea someone is coming—to hunt her, to use her, to destroy her in the cruelest way. And by the time she realizes it… It’s already far too late.

Li Tang was reborn on the eve of the new millennium. He knew the trajectory of the mining market over the next twenty years, had the coordinates of every newly discovered supermine, and understood the intricate details of century-defining mergers between mining giants. While experts lamented that all the rich mines were in the hands of major players and that the giants were troubled by aging and depleting resources, turning from exploration to ruthless corporate takeovers... A group from the East kept working miracles—discovering deeply buried, shockingly rich mineral deposits again and again. From scorching deserts, frozen Arctic lands, and uninhabited primeval forests, they extracted tons of ore. Fully loaded cargo ships, the industrial lifeline, thundered across the seas toward the East. He had advanced exploration technology, wielded capital like a club, and maneuvered deftly through complex global politics—completely disrupting the mining industry's global landscape. When he speaks, the world listens. One foreign mining analyst exclaimed: “He is already the sole mining oligarch on Earth!” Thank you for the support, friends.

In the rain-drenched luxury of a Seoul penthouse, 22-year-old college student Min-jae returns home to a house that feels both familiar and dangerously new. His real mother passed away when he was just 12, leaving him in the shadow of his father's endless business trips. Years later, his father remarried Ji-eun, a stunning 38-year-old Korean beauty with an elegant exterior and a body that hides insatiable desires. Raised alongside his stepsister Yumi, Min-jae has always seen Ji-eun as "Eomma"—the woman who filled the void with warmth, home-cooked meals, and gentle care. But as he matures into a strong, handsome young man, the lines blur. Late nights, accidental touches, lingering glances, and the intoxicating scent of her jasmine perfume awaken something forbidden. With his father away for weeks, the apartment becomes a pressure cooker of tension. Ji-eun's teasing smiles, the way her silk robe slips just enough to reveal soft curves, and her husky whispers calling him "son" push Min-jae to the edge. What begins as innocent guilt spirals into raw, obsessive lust—secret touches, stolen kisses, and nights where boundaries shatter completely. This is a dark, addictive tale of taboo passion, emotional conflict, and unstoppable craving. Will Min-jae give in to the woman who raised him? Or will the risk of discovery—by his father, his stepsister, or society itself—destroy everything? One thing is certain: once the door closes, there's no turning back.

she thought after graduation it’d be boring, like blazers and deadlines and maybe shitty coffee. not… this. not waking up next to someone who could buy a whole city just because he felt like it. fate probably packed its bag, booked a one-way flight, and said “good luck, babe,” because what kind of joke is marrying the man everyone whispers about but no one’s actually seen? he doesn’t talk much. he doesn’t need to. the room bends around him, and somehow she’s the idiot standing there pretending she’s not scared. he’s cold, or that’s what she tells herself, until he’s not. until the smile looks like danger and the touch feels like a threat dressed up as affection. and maybe it’s love. maybe it’s something uglier. maybe it’s both, tangled so tight she can’t tell which is choking her first. either way, there’s no running. not from him. not from what he is.

WARNING: Some mature content!!! 18+ This is what you call Urbantasy.. Fantasy in an urban setting with a strong female lead -- a story riddled in mystery, magic, and a lot of sass. ======= CHAPTER 1 sneak peek! ======= The air between them tightened like a rope. Cael leaned closer, head tilting slightly, pulling at her waist again, smugness softened into something sharper and quieter. His eyes flicked to her lips then back to her eyes as if asking for permission he didn't need. Hunger of a different kind pumped through Cael. The hunger that Galathea unmistakably recognized as it pressed hard against her lower abs, forcing through the fabric as if it can tear through. At the sensation, Galathea's mouth parted before she could stop it. Her whole body screamed at her to either shove him away or close the last inch between their lips herself. ===== SYNOPSIS ===== Galathea Brooks spent her life surviving quietly -- counting inventory, enforcing rules, keeping her head down inside one of the most powerful art institutions in the city. It's a simple life because paint doesn't talk; power doesn't notice people like her. and names are just names. -- That is... until a painting remembered her. When ancient works buried beneath Artemis Art Gallery began to respond to Galathea's presence, she becomes the center of the system that's older than the building itself. A system that cataloged her long before she knew it existed. Her name is not a coincidence. It is a KEY. Cael Alexander, on the other hand, has always understood control. As Artemis' immaculate but dangerous CEO, he manages secrets like no other. He knows the gallery and its bowels more than anyone. He knows what's hidden; he knows what's awaken. What he didn't expect, however, was Galathea. As archaic works of art start to stir, boundaries fracture -- between observer and artifact, power and possession, restraint and desire. Every choice Galathea makes draws her deeper into fate that doesn't want permission... only acknowledgement. Mind you, awakenings don't ask when you're ready.

Evelyn Walters was the perfect heiress, until one reckless night with her father’s greatest enemy ruined everything. Pregnant, disgraced, and cast out of the Walters family, she left with nothing but her unborn child. Years later, she's survived. But as a single mother, the life she built was fragile until the man from her past discovered the truth. Now he wants her and his son. But how can Evelyn trust the father of her child... when he's also the enemy of the man who raised her? **** Excerpt: "B-Boss... the woman you slept with that night... she wasn't the supermodel the company just signed," Dylan stammered, his voice trembling. Axel's brow furrowed even further. He tried digging through the hazy, alcohol-soaked memories of that night.  Of course, he remembered the party. He remembered the whiskey. But the woman? Nope. His brain served up a blank slate. "Who was she?" Dylan swallowed. "The first daughter of William Walters." "Cough! Cough!" Axel coughed violently, his face turning red and eyes wide with shock. He never thought that woman would end up in his bed.  --- Curiosity won, as always. Evelyn grabbed the remote and hit the power button. The screen lit up, and her jaw dropped. Her eyes went wide, as if the Grim Reaper himself had just stepped out of the TV to ask for her phone number. “What the…? Why does my personal source of misery pop up the second I turn this thing on?” Because there he was, Axel Knight, gliding out of his luxury car like some corporate deity on his way to a business banquet. Evelyn scrambled for the remote to turn it off, but of course, fate had other plans. Axel turned to the camera and gave a casual wave, acknowledging the paparazzi vultures lined up outside. She hated to admit it, but the man looked sinfully good in his signature black suit and high turtleneck, his sleek black hair framing a face that could stop traffic and quite possibly her breathing. Then, suddenly, her stomach clenched. Her hand instinctively rubbed her flat belly. “Little tenant, did you just say you recognize him?”

“This is my resignation.” He doesn’t look up. “Where’s the money?” “…Money?” “The compensation.” That’s when she learns walking away isn’t free. Ten years after vanishing from each other’s lives, Seo Jiah ends up working for her high school ex — now the ruthless CEO of Daeyeon Holdings. He keeps it cold. She treats him like the mistake she never healed from. They both keep lying. The contract locks her in. The past keeps finding ways back in. Jiah doesn’t beg. She doesn’t fold. She fights him in meeting rooms, in late-night emails, and in every look they pretend doesn't linger. He pushes. She pushes back. The office becomes a battlefield where the flashbacks bleed in—the love they buried, the way it ended, and the kind of hurt that doesn’t die quietly. She’s not just trapped. She’s cornered—and dangerous. He acts untouchable, but she’s the only one who ever got close enough to break him. Some reunions don’t come with closure. They come with teeth.
