family

Seraphina Hesperia De Gaspariz never asked to be the villainess of anyone’s story. She was born into a powerful family, raised in cold halls, and taught that showing emotions was a weakness. People misunderstood her from the beginning. She looked calm on the outside, but her heart was gentle. She cared deeply, but she didn’t know how to express it. Every time she tried, it came out wrong, and people judged her even more. Everyone around her believed the rumors. They thought she was heartless simply because she didn’t smile often or because her golden eyes looked too sharp. What they didn’t see was a lonely young woman who grew up without a mother, who faced pressure every day from a father who didn’t know how to love properly, and who spent most of her nights trying to convince herself she was strong enough to endure everything. She only had one dream: to be loved sincerely. To be understood by someone. And to have one person who chose her without doubts. For a while, she thought that person was Crown Prince Maverick. He treated her kindly when they were young. He protected her from cruel comments. He made her believe that she wasn’t alone. Seraphina treasured those moments more than anything, even if she never dared say how much he mattered to her. But as years passed, misunderstandings grew. Seraphina became quieter, colder, harder to read. Maverick became busier, confused, and distant. And then, everything collapsed. She was blamed for crimes she didn’t commit, accused of treason, called a poisoner. Marked as the villainess who wanted to destroy the heroine of the story. People pointed at her, whispered about her, and looked at her like she was the enemy of the entire kingdom. And the cruelest part was that the one person she hoped would stand beside her - didn’t. Maverick didn’t believe her. He didn’t defend her, he didn’t even look her in the eyes when she begged him to trust her. Seraphina died with a heart full of pain, regret, and unanswered questions. She left the world wondering why no one ever tried to understand her, why love was always out of reach, and why being herself was never enough. But death was not her ending. Seraphina wakes up one morning in her younger body as a baby - many years before her execution. For a moment she thinks it’s a dream, but the familiar room, the younger reflection in the mirror, and the long-forgotten warmth of the sun on her face tell her the truth: She has been given a second chance. This time, she refuses to live the same painful life. She refuses to let lies destroy her again. She refuses to let people walk over her heart. Most of all, she refuses to love Maverick in silence. Seraphina plans to rewrite everything: her story, her future, her happiness. She wants to fix what was broken. She wants to protect herself. She wants to change the way Maverick sees her - not by pretending to be someone else, but by finally showing her true self, the one she hid for so long. She will uncover who framed her, rebuild her relationships, fight for her place in a world that tried to erase her and will protect the younger version of herself who once felt so alone. And step by step, she will try to capture his heart again. Not because she is the villainess people feared, but because she is finally living as the woman she always wanted to be. And the real question is - Will she succeed getting her happy ending?

Betrayed by blood. Burned by fate. Buried by those she once called family. Bai Xia, the once gentle daughter of the Bai family, died amidst the flames — her heart filled with despair and disbelief. But when her eyes opened again, she found herself 33 years in the past, before her world was shattered.

A mysterious man with eyes as dark as night stood between her wrath and redemption. He was dangerous, untouchable... yet every step closer threatened to shatter the walls she had built. Could love bloom again in the heart of one reborn through hatred? Or would it burn away like everything else in her path? Her enemies would kneel. Her betrayers would weep. And the world would remember the name Bai Xia, the woman who rose from hell itself — the Crimson Lotus who bloomed in blood… and perhaps, once more, in love.

Some memories don’t leave us. They just sit quietly in one corner of the heart, waiting- for a smell, a voice, a place- to wake them up again. The Scent of Our Yesterday started as a simple village-to-city love story: two kids, a childhood bond, a breakup of distance, a reunion in a busy modern world. As I kept writing, Ha-rin and Jae-hyun refused to stay “simple”. Their love kept circling back like time itself… so the story also grew into something bigger. This series is about: childhood innocence in a small village, college fights and ego, corporate politics and pressure, misunderstandings, second chances, and one love that keeps coming back, even when time, destiny, and people try to break it. Later, you’ll also see a touch of mystery and time—loops, echoes, fragments of “what if we had chosen differently?”. But at its heart, it is still the same: one boy, one girl, one long journey of growing up, getting hurt, healing, and finding their way back to each other without losing themselves. I wanted the story to feel close to us- emotional, little funny, a bit dramatic, but always honest. If while reading, you remember your first crush, your campus days, your family, your old village, or that one person who still feels like “home” somewhere in your heart- that is enough for me. Thank you for staying with Ha-rin and Jae-hyun… through their yesterdays, echoes, and tomorrows. -- qwrhsth4

When her family decides to abandon her mother and herself in the pouring rain, she calls someone who is supposed to help her no matter what, who comes shielding her from everything?

Dragged from her father’s cruelty and into the clutches of a man who calls himself her savior, she is forced to spy on someone. Her orders are clear: watch, report, obey.

"Dr. Chen, every hour you steal doesn't simply vanish. Everything is rewritten by it. Disgraced temporal physicist Dr. Elara Chen's pioneering work was pilfered by her mentor and utilized to build an immortality empire for the wealthy. She now works in the hospital room of a dying sister and witnesses twenty-two-year-old Mira's decline due to a temporal illness that physically removes her from the timeline—a condition that the wealthy refuse to treat because it exclusively affects the underprivileged. Elara, feeling misled and desperate, breaks into her former lab and turns on the Chronos Extraction Engine, the one gadget they claimed would never function. It doesn't pilfer wealth or authority. It takes hours, days, and even years away from people's futures in order to offer them to someone else. It takes her an hour to save her sister. Only one. However, reality breaks down as soon as that hour passes. A stranger who was meant to perish in an automobile accident the following year unexpectedly survives today and kills three people. There is no longer a child who would have been born. Elara also learns the terrifying reality that every hour she spends has a cascading effect that drastically alters the planet. Even worse, Agent Kade Ashford, the TRA's most brutal time enforcer—a man with ice in his veins and a sad background that made him vow to stop anybody who manipulates time—is now pursuing her. He ought to take her into custody right away. Rather, he makes her an unfeasible offer: if she assists him in preventing the actual criminals from utilizing her pilfered research to wipe out entire communities, he will provide her with the one item she most needs. His own prospects. Elara discovers a top-down scheme as she steals more hours to keep Mira alive: the Chronos Corporation created the temporal sickness to take advantage of the impoverished's remaining time for the wealthy. In addition to stealing her findings, her tutor used it as a weapon to carry out genocide for financial gain. Elara now has to decide whether to save Mira and watch the world burn or let her sister die and protect reality. However, Kade won't share with her the third alternative, which calls for the greatest sacrifice and would alter their understanding of time, love, and what it is to really live. The time is running out. The world is falling apart. And tomorrow is getting closer to never happening at all with each hour she steals.

“I’m done.” With those two words, top-tier Alpha Emma ended her three-year relationship with Omega perfumer Gu Liang—coldly, decisively, even after marking him during her heat. But the man she abandoned wasn’t a fragile lamb. Beneath Gu Liang’s quiet demeanor slept a lion. He built First Heart Capital from the ground up, and with ruthless precision, brought Emma and her family’s empire to its knees. To survive, Emma was forced to sign a marriage contract with the very man she once discarded. Their union wasn’t built on love—it was a battlefield. As they navigate early labor scares, business storms, and the chaos of daily life, Emma begins to see the depth of Gu Liang’s pain—and the strength he’s always carried. And Gu Liang, in turn, finds himself thawing in the face of Emma’s clumsy but sincere attempts to make amends. When hatred fades and love rekindles, they rebuild a home from the ashes. But just as peace settles in, Emma’s love reaches its most painful, most profound peak—when she learns the truth about Gu Liang’s lonely childhood. So she makes a choice: To travel back in time. Not to change their fate, but to be there for the boy she could never reach.

"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.
