family

Everly, a connoisseur of orphan-to-riches tropes, always assumed her origin story began with a dramatic abandonment at the orphanage gates. Turns out, her life was even more cliché than her favorite novels! She wasn't merely dumped; she was swapped—a long-lost heiress to a vast fortune. Just when she thought her life couldn't get any more tropey, a mysterious System materialized, offering her a chance at a "good ending." The catch? Its "abilities" ranged from the utterly bizarre to the downright mortifying, making Everly question if a happy ending was truly worth the existential cringe. *** System 006: [Host, please choose 1 of these 3 system abilities!] Everly: "They're all weird! Let me just pick random!" System 006: [Hehe... host, I forgot to say that each system will have consequences, so something will happen to you when you use it...] Everly: "!!!" Days later, having been reunited with her biological family and experimenting with the System's... unique function, the consequence were already glaringly apparent. Her beloved brother: "My little sister is precious, but I need therapy to keep up with her alien-like thinking." Handsome man 1: "She's a pervert! I'm scared she'll take my innocence..." Handsome man 2: "Every time she talks, I feel like killing her. Is that normal?" NOTE: Please disconnect all logical circuits before proceeding with this novel, as it's an absolute chaotic comedy where the MC, Everly, has several screws loose in her brain. Don't expect much normalcy here—sanity checked out long ago and never came back.

Lin Yue died exhausted in a modern kitchen, chasing a dream that would never come. She wakes up in ancient China—in the body of a "useless" farm wife despised by her husband's family. Weak. Slow. A disappointment. But Lin Yue isn't the same girl anymore. She's a trained chef with years of experience. And she knows exactly what she's capable of. When her cold husband tastes her cooking for the first time, everything changes. When she saves the magistrate's son in front of the entire market, the village takes notice. They thought she was worthless. They were wrong. In a world where ancient customs and modern changes collide...

They told her to strike first. They never warned her what it would cost. When Andrea Johnson steps into her new school, she doesn’t just find bullies and rivals—she finds a dojo war tearing the city apart. Drawn into the ruthless Cobra Kai, Andrea learns to fight, bleed, and survive in a world where weakness means destruction. Friendships blur into rivalries. Enemies turn into obsessions. Every fight leaves more scars. And when blood spills on the mat, Andrea must decide—how far will she go to win? Enemies to lovers. Dojo wars. Blood and betrayal. This isn’t just a fight. It’s a war.

Hawkins is small, but its secrets are big. Will Byers has always kept to himself — sketching in quiet corners, surviving on routine, and hiding from the chaos that seems to follow him no matter where he goes. Mike Wheeler has his own battles: trying to fit in, trying to be brave, trying to keep himself together when everything feels like it’s spiraling. When fate (or recklessness) throws them together, they discover something neither expected: someone who sees them, someone who matters. But the quiet comfort of connection doesn’t last long. A night out spirals into tragedy. Chrissy Cunningham, a friend, is found dead, and Eddie Munson — a boy who’s always been different — is accused. The town turns on him. Loyalties are tested. Friendships are stretched to breaking. And the lines between right and wrong blur with every step through the dark streets and shadowed woods of Hawkins. As Hopper hunts for the truth, as Jason and his friends chase vengeance, and as Max joins the hunt to protect those she cares about, Will and Mike find themselves not only confronting danger but their own feelings, discovering what it truly means to trust someone — and to be brave enough to love, even in fear. The Quiet Things We Hide is a tense, cinematic, small-town drama about friendship, first love, moral grey areas, and the costs of loyalty when everything you care about is on the line.

Whether you like it or not she's now your mother. Is this a way to treat your mother"?  "She can never be my mother, she doesn't even have the qualities of being a mother.

Synopsis The solar system was never meant to be discovered. When an interstellar empire pierces the veil of an uncharted solar system, they expect resources, not resistance. What they find instead is a hidden world guarded by ancient laws, celestial beasts, and cultivators who should not exist so far beyond known space. At the heart of it all stands Gu Mian—a woman of extraordinary fate, raised within a powerful cultivation lineage yet unaware that her existence alone disrupts the balance of worlds. By her side is Gu Ruisheng, her steadfast protector and husband, whose blade was forged for war long before the stars noticed them. As portals tear open the skies and foreign armies descend, the battlefield becomes a collision point between science and cultivation, empire and eternity. Ancient seals weaken. Forgotten realms stir. And far above the chaos, an unseen presence watches—the World Consciousness, a being born with the universe itself. Detached, pure, and absolute, the World Consciousness has never interfered… until fate leads him to Ji Yueqing, a mortal woman whose soul carries truths even the universe has forgotten. Their meeting marks the beginning of a shift no god can ignore. War is only the opening act. As Gu Mian ascends toward divinity, secrets of origin, love, and destiny unravel. The universe must decide what survives when mortals challenge heaven, gods learn to love, and worlds refuse to remain silent. This is not just a story of cultivation. It is the story of creation remembering itself. ---

Adrian Vale was a man who seemed born under fortunate stars. He possessed striking looks that drew attention the moment he entered a room, a natural charm that disarmed even his competitors, and a gentle kindness that made people trust him without hesitation. He was intelligent, disciplined, and raised to inherit one of the most powerful corporate empires in the country. But the very quality that made him admirable was also the one that destroyed him. Adrian Vale was too kind for a world built on ambition and calculated betrayal. On what was meant to be the proudest day of his life, everything unraveled before his eyes. The grand cathedral was filled with dignitaries, business elites, and family members who had gathered to witness not only a wedding but the symbolic passing of legacy. Adrian believed that by the end of that day, he would become both a husband and the officially appointed successor to the Vale Corporation. Instead, he was left standing alone at the altar. The woman he had loved since childhood, the woman he had trusted without question, chose power over love. She walked away from him and ran into the arms of his own brother. That same brother had just been announced as the new heir to the family empire. In a single devastating moment, Adrian lost his bride, his birthright, and the future he had carefully built for himself. The humiliation was public. The betrayal was personal. And the lesson was unforgettable. The gentle heir disappeared that day. Years later, Adrian Vale reemerged as a different man. He did not inherit an empire. He created one. Through relentless effort, calculated risks, and a ruthlessness he once despised, he built a business network that rivaled the very family that had cast him aside. His name became synonymous with power, precision, and control. He no longer trusted easily. He no longer forgave blindly. Love was no longer a priority in his carefully structured life. His days were predictable and orderly. He woke early, worked endlessly, expanded his influence, and returned to a silent penthouse that reflected the emptiness he no longer acknowledged. To the outside world, his life seemed perfect. There were no emotional entanglements, no vulnerabilities, and no distractions. Then he met her. ELENA MARLOWE. The Woman Who Was Sent To Him To Become His Weakness And Destroy Him.

Her name is Amara Gabrielle, a woman who had only recently stepped into motherhood. However, a tragic incident struck. ​Amara suddenly found herself accused of her own uncle’s death. That blood-stained night left her paralyzed in panic and confusion. ​"I didn't do anything! How could I possibly be a murderer?!" ​Amara fought to deny all the allegations. Yet, every witness testified against her, leading to a seven-year prison sentence. ​"I will wait for you faithfully, Amara. Rest assured, I will take proper care of Vero until you return. I will visit you often." ​Bound by love and trust, Amara complied with her husband’s words without a single protest. She was ultimately sent to prison at a very young age. ​—— Seven years passed. When Amara was finally released, she instead caught Richard living a blissful life of his own, with Vero not even recognizing her as a mother. ​To make matters worse, she was shunned by her extended family without a single word of defense from Richard. ​Inevitably, this turned Amara cold and numb; she was no longer the woman she used to be. Her gaze was chilling—gone was the soft, loving Amara. ​"I slept on a thin mat that made my body ache every moment, all while never knowing what I had done wrong. And now you ask for forgiveness just like that? Oh... I will forgive you, but only after I have watched you fall into ruin."
