family

When the LaRusso family moves to Southern California, Jennifer LaRusso expects sun, beaches, and a fresh start. She doesn’t expect to watch her older brother get humiliated by Cobra Kai’s golden boy. Johnny Lawrence is everything Jennifer hates — proud, ruthless, untouchable. And when he makes Daniel his favorite target, Jennifer decides she won’t stand by and cry. She’ll do something smarter. Instead of fighting the snake… she’ll charm it. Jennifer pretends to admire Johnny. Laughs at his jokes. Softens his edges. Slowly, carefully, she works her way past his guard — all to stop him from hurting her brother before the All Valley Tournament. It’s just a strategy. Until it isn’t. Because beneath the arrogance, Johnny isn’t what she expected. And the more time she spends with him, the harder it becomes to tell what’s real and what was part of the plan. But Cobra Kai doesn’t believe in softness. And when John Kreese begins to suspect that Johnny is hesitating… someone will have to pay for that weakness. With Daniel training in secret under Mr. Miyagi and the tournament drawing closer, loyalties fracture, hearts betray, and the line between manipulation and love begins to blur. Jennifer thought she could strike softly. She didn’t realize soft things can break the hardest.

A theft disrupts the balance of a city where magic and reality coexist every day. To solve the case, detective Li Zeyang teams up with Lu Shen, a powerful and reclusive mage.

Between investigations, magic, and silences that speak louder than words, they discover that protecting the other becomes an instinct stronger than self-preservation. Because in a world where magic is everywhere, the greatest risk is not losing control—but allowing someone to truly step into your life. A MM urban fantasy romance blending mystery, action, and a bond that grows slow, intense, and inevitable.

"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.

When seventeen-year-old Renmei sets out to become her village’s healer, she dreams only of using her modest magic to mend wounds and save lives. But her destiny shifts the night she finds a wounded dragon dying in the forest. The dragon, known as The Custodian of Cobalt Flames, now reduced to a whisper of spirit; he finds refuge inside Renmei's body to survive. What begins as a haunting turns into an uneasy coexistence: He cannot fully manifest without her, and Renmei cannot remove him without losing the immense magic now flowing through her veins. His presence strengthens her mana core, filling her with power she never imagined—but every spell she casts feels tinged with a heat not entirely her own. Before she can understand what’s happened, the skies darken with the arrival of the dragon’s elder brother—The Dignified Eternal Guardian and Unyielding Sentinel of the Cyan Inferno. In human form, he is as commanding as he is disdainful. He sees Renmei as a reckless mortal who tampered with powers beyond her station, yet he cannot harm her without endangering his beloved brother. Bound by duty and love for his younger brother, he insists that Renmei accompany him across kingdoms to the Ancient Ancestral Pyre, a sacred mountain where souls of the dragons of the east may be reborn. Thus begins an uneasy pilgrimage between mortal and dragonkind. But the closer they draw to the Pyre, the more unstable their bond becomes. The cobalt flame within her grows hungrier, whispering in her dreams, reshaping her magic—and perhaps her humanity.

Three years ago, a man with no past arrived in Hado-gae. Seo Ji-won speaks little of himself, but his hands speak volumes. They prepare meals that taste like memories, they steady fishing boats in rough tides, and they have never once reached for anyone since he arrived. The villagers don't ask questions. They simply adore him, feed him, and let him be. Today, a woman with a broken future returns. Choi Ha-neul fled this coastal village fifteen years ago, chasing city dreams. Now those dreams have collapsed, and she's back—broke, embarrassed, and determined to rebuild. She opens a convenience store next to a quiet restaurant run by a man who makes her heart race and her curiosity burn. Their shops sit side by side. Their pasts sit like walls between them.

But in a village where everyone knows everyone, two mysteries sharing a wall might be the most interesting thing that's ever happened to Hado-gae. And the sea? The sea remembers everything. It just doesn't tell.
