It is a story about a young girl who dreams of finding a place where she belongs.

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

Seraphina Hesperia De Gaspariz never asked to be the villainess of anyone's story. She was born into a powerful-noble 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 dark sage eyes looked too sharp. What they didn't 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 Atticus. 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. Atticus 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. Atticus 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 Atticus 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 Atticus 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 try to 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?

Julia Hale is a beastwoman of unsettling beauty, an emergency room nurse in a large, unforgiving city, and the mother of young twins still too innocent to grasp the cost of silence. Behind her clinical composure and carefully ordered routine, Julia carries the scars of years of domestic violence, relentless humiliation, and a past that has never truly loosened its grip. Separated from Theo Desmond, her charismatic and predatory ex-husband, Julia struggles to build a stable life. She works. She raises her children. She manages her body, her desire, her exhaustion. On the surface, she is moving forward. In reality, she is still surviving. Her trauma does not erupt in screams but in interrupted gestures, intrusive memories, conflicted desire. She is in love with a woman—Stella Vance—a one-sided, silent love never spoken aloud. This attachment becomes a mirror, reflecting both what Julia longs for and what she still cannot claim. Under the Skin of a Beastwoman is neither a revenge story nor a tale of miraculous healing. It is a fragmented, intimate chronicle of a woman learning—slowly, imperfectly—to detach herself from a life built on fear, while trying to offer her children a future she was never given. An R18 urban narrative, visceral and deeply personal, where the body, desire, and memory become battlegrounds for survival and reclamation.

Let’s be frank: my stepmother is human trash. She has always been, and she’ll always be. That’s just how life is. But I’ve got to admit that she’s outdoing herself today. ‘Cause, darn, she’s just told me, first thing in the goddamn morning, that I’m to be wed in a few hours’ time for the prosperity of the clan. That has the merit to be crystal clear, at least. Alright, sure. Fine. I can live with an arranged marriage. It’s not the worst thing she’s done. What’s not fine, though, is my spouse’s gender, age, and species. I want to make three points clear: 1. I’m not into men. 2. I’m not into older people. 3. I’m not into other species. Guess what? It appears my future partner is everything listed above. Male, old enough to be my ancestor, and a demon! ...Is it too late to run away? Asking for a friend. ______________________________ Doesn’t-give-a-fuck-anymore human x pampering older demon [BL] ______________________________ Free of copyright picture used for the bookcover by Leonhard_Niederwimmer

Everly, a connoisseur of orphan-to-riches tropes, always assumed her origin story began with a dramatic abandonment at the orphanage gates.

When a sudden rogue attack nearly takes my life, my husband—Alpha of the Crescent Pack—doesn’t rush to save me. He runs to save another woman. In an instant, the truth hits me harder than any claw or fang ever could. Eight years of marriage… nothing but a lie. He was in love with another woman all along.
