Between shadows and starlight

Between Shadow and Starlight The rain fell endlessly that night. The sky roared like it carried the same pain inside as the man driving down the lonely road — Liam Davis. He didn’t know where he was going. Only that something inside him felt wrong. His heart was heavy, his mind scattered, and every flash of lightning seemed to show him memories that weren’t his. Then came the crash. The sound of metal, the smell of smoke… and silence. When Liam opened his eyes again, he wasn’t sure if he was alive. All he saw was a clean white ceiling, the beeping of machines, and a stranger sitting beside him — tall, calm, wearing an expression that was too gentle for a stranger. “You’re awake,” the man said softly, relief washing over his face. “Who are you?” Liam asked, blinking at him in confusion. The man hesitated for only a second before answering. “...Your husband.” Liam almost ripped the IV out of his arm. “Husband? Excuse me, what kind of bad drama am I in?” The stranger smiled faintly, as if used to that reaction. “I’m Ethan M. Chen,” he said. “And yes, we’re married.” It would’ve been funny if it didn’t sound so insane. Because Liam knew that name — Ethan Chen, his rival since high school. The man who once argued with him about everything — from who scored higher in math to who was more handsome. The man who drove him crazy just by breathing near him. There was no way that that guy became his husband. Yet, every nurse called Ethan “Mr. Chen,” and every photo frame beside his hospital bed told the same unbelievable story — the two of them smiling together, laughing, holding hands like some perfect couple. The problem was, Liam didn’t remember any of it. Ethan did. And he remembered everything. He remembered the fights, the slow friendship that bloomed, the day he realized Liam’s smile meant more than victory. He remembered the confession, the first kiss, the promise to never let go. And now — he had to start all over again. But how do you make someone fall in love with you when they’re sure they hate you? Ethan decided one thing: he would win Liam’s heart again. Even if it meant enduring his sarcastic comments, endless eye-rolls, and complaints about his “rich people manners.” The villa that once felt like home now turned into a battlefield — breakfast wars, bedroom arguments, and silent moments that neither of them wanted to admit felt too intimate. Liam insisted he was staying “only until he got his memory back.” Ethan didn’t argue. He simply made sure the guest room air conditioner “mysteriously stopped working” every other night. Under the same roof, between teasing and tenderness, something began to shift. Liam’s laughter returned. Ethan’s guarded heart softened. Sometimes, it wasn’t the past that brought two souls together. Sometimes, it was the present — messy, loud, full of new beginnings. And as Liam found himself drawn to Ethan again — in the way he smiled, the way he listened, the way he never gave up — one thought quietly slipped into his mind: Maybe… love doesn’t need memory to survive. Maybe it just needs the right person to remind you what it feels like. Between shadows and starlight, between heartbreak and laughter, their story begins again — not from hate, not from memory, but from the moment two hearts dared to find each other once more.

As they are pulled deeper into each other’s lives, secrets begin to surface old betrayals, family conflicts, and a past that ties Zane to Elaine’s brother in ways no one is willing to talk about. The lines between obligation and desire blur, and what started as a sacrifice turns into something neither of them can control. In a world where power dictates everything and trust comes at a cost, Elaine must decide if she’s willing to gamble her heart on a man who could destroy her. A story of contract marriage, buried history, and a love born out of defiance rather than choice. (Mature content) Zane’s lips crush to mine, hungrily tasting my mouth and sucking my tongue into his. He moves lower, nipping at my neck, then my boobs, enveloping his lips around a pink nipple. I sigh in pleasure, my hands sliding into his hair and gripping hard as he bites down and then slips his mouth lower. And lower…….. My eyes fly open as he shoves my dress up to my waist and pulls my panties to the side. Suddenly, his mouth dives between my thighs, and when I feel his tongue drag up my slit, it’s like an electrical shock and my eyes roll back behind my head. Holy! FUCK!!.

Transmigrated Into a Cannon Fodder Phoenix, Stuck With the Ice Dragon

Seraphina Vale grew up unwanted. An orphan passed from one home to another until she learned that happy endings were best found between pages, not in real life. By adulthood, she was a broke writer, living on instant noodles and failed manuscripts, clinging to dreams that never sold. Then her best friend mailed her a “souvenir” — a tiny glass bottle supposedly holding phoenix tears. She laughed, made a wish, and the next thing she knew… she woke up in another world. A world where dragons run corporations, fox spirits manage PR, and even gorgons hold seats in the boardroom. And her? She’s not even the heroine. Just a phoenix side character and worse, a defective one. As if being cannon fodder wasn’t bad enough, the System whispers her only way home: die. Easy to say, but impossible when phoenixes don’t stay dead. Every time she burns out, she rises again, trapped in the same cruel loop. Then there’s her boss… Lucian Drake, the Ice Dragon CEO with glacial eyes and a reputation as the perfect gentleman. In the original story, Lucian Drake was fated to betray her. His carefully planned affection was only a trap to draw out the real heroine. The system keeps warning her: 'don’t trust him, don’t fall for him.' But how can she not when he smiles like that, when his voice softens, when his smallest gestures feel too genuine to be scripted? So she lets herself believe, just a little… that maybe this story could change. Maybe this time, she could change her roles. But stories have rules. And when the truth surfaces, it cuts deep. She was never the one. Just a substitute. A pawn in his plan to lure the real heroine back. And yet, when everything falls apart, when the truth burns through their carefully built lies, Lucian is the one left chasing after the phoenix he broke. If Seraphina wants to escape, she’ll have to survive office politics, respawn cycles, and a love that was never meant to be hers. Because even if the coldest dragon learns to love her too late... it might already be her turn to fly away. [Transmigration] [Fantasy Romance] [Enemies to Lovers] [Rebirth Loop] [Substitute Female Lead] [Cold CEO Dragon] [Phoenix FL] [Chasing Her Back] [Emotional Betrayal] [Second Male Lead Redemption] [Slow Burn] P/s : This story is written primarily in first-person (Seraphina’s POV) with occasional third-person scenes from Lucian’s perspective to show events outside her knowledge.
