family

Neva and Rhett—two young souls—find their heartstrings woven in love. But just as passion and peace begin to bloom, fate intervenes. Bleak, haunting circumstances scatter blades across their romance, threatening to tear them apart. Ishmael—a man with a heart of thorns—yearns to mend the wound of losing Neva. And in the end, rays of love and joy filter through the clouds of horror that darken his world—as Neva appears before him once more. Twisted fate entangles them all, revealing the Game of Sphere, as misery scorches their souls. A concealed life beyond turns its pages—one after another—gathering sin and virtue, tragedy and fortune, strength and frailty, creation, love... and hate. Illusion is where we live—in the garden of Eden before the fall of man. Illusion is serenity—an evermore sanguine of love. The vision of paradise in the New Earth sows hope deep in the soul. The delusory pleasures of this world ignite the flames that burn in oceans of fire. Illusive Eden is rapture. Illusive Eden is tragedy. The fall of man—even now bleeds red. The whisper whirls the dawn of a man—he who pretends to be the hero. --- The girl who once vowed to be his forever Now forbids him to ever appear. She refuses to recognize him, Disregarding all he ever was. He vows to protect her. Yet he is the terrifying truth she prays is a lie. He trips her, rips her apart— He's the living tragedy looming over her life. He once was her Elayne, now her hiraeth. He is the villain—pretending to be the hero. --- The Lord is the way— Steady through the wilderness. The King is the truth— Burning through the lies. The Father is the life— Breathing spirit into dust. She kneels before the Ruler, The God who shaped galaxies— He has called her a poet. Her tongue shall be anointed. Her poetry shall be the rivers of His word. She will scatter seeds in broken fields, And He will send the sun. He will send the rain. He will draw the roots down deep. He yields to the Ruler, The God of blazing holiness— He has called him a soldier. His fists shall be unclenched. The sword of the Spirit rests in his grip. He will shield the sower of the seeds, As storms rise against the harvest. His strength will be not his own, But drawn from the marrow of grace. This faith shall shake the mountains, For He has conquered the filth of the flesh. This flame will cleanse the shadows. For He has defeated the darkness. This love shall live on for eternity, For He has overcome the mortal world.

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 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.

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.

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?
