family

‎What happens when the only thing that seems right in a society where family is defined by blood and fate is determined by obligation is the only thing that is prohibited? ‎Love conquers all, they claimed. They never brought up the possibility that it might wipe out all of existence. ‎Twenty-three-year-old Aria Chen believed she was aware of the limits of her universe. She had come to terms with her role as the beloved younger sister, cared for and protected but never really a part of the wealth that surrounded her, having grown up in the shadow of the Chen family's immense empire. Her older brother by three years, Damien Chen, was the heir apparent and had carried the burden of their family since their father's health deteriorated, giving him that right. ‎She had only known Damien. Her defender. Her provider. The person who put her to bed every night while their parents were too busy establishing their empire. The person who taught her to be strong, even though she felt secure enough in his presence to be weak. ‎She never doubted his affections. Not when he examined her pals himself. Not when he insisted on giving his approval for her college selections. Even when he was at every social gathering she went to, his black eyes followed her every move in crowded spaces. ‎But on a rainy Tuesday, the flawless façade of her golden cage began to crack when David Park, the nice and sincere intern who brought her coffee and made her laugh, revealed his feelings, only to be fired the next day. ‎An event may be a coincidence. Circumstance might be the case for two of them. However, after it happened repeatedly, Aria was able to see the unseen bonds that her brother had placed around her heart. ‎As a result, she fled. To a life that Damien had no control over across the sea. ‎She experienced freedom for a couple of years. Made a career for herself based on her own merits. I discovered Aria Chen's identity without being overshadowed by her brother. ‎Until the call arrived. ‎It's urgent that you return home. ‎Aria realized that something had irrevocably shifted the moment she entered the Chen residence. Wearing expensive designer attire that bore an uncanny resemblance to the contents of Aria's previous wardrobe, a young woman sat sobbing in the living room, whom she had never met. Her mother's eyes had red rims. She seemed ten years older than her dad. ‎And Damien... With his obsidian eyes staring at her with an intensity that made her shiver—not out of fear, but out of something far more dangerous—Damien stood like a predator at last let out of his cage. ‎Her mother's voice was shaking, Aria. We have something to tell you. There was a blunder at the hospital, and you were... You and Eleanor were— twenty-three years ago. ‎Damien concluded, his voice a soft caress that seemed to wrap around Aria's neck. As he got closer, Aria noticed for the first time in her life that the brother who had raised her was not the protective one. She saw a man who was strong, threatening, and ultimately free. You're not my sister, Aria. You were never like that. ‎The expression in his eyes indicated that she was about to be overtaken by everything she had been fleeing. ‎There was nowhere to hide this time. ‎Genre: Obsessive Male Lead, Fake Siblings, Forbidden Love, and Contemporary Romance ‎Topics include family secrets, second chance romance, identity crisis, forbidden wish, obsessive love, and power dynamics.

Two souls who never learned what home feels like mistake recognition for destiny. She survives. He leaves. She wanted to seize joy, to experience life without hesitation. He wanted to comprehend, to map the landscape of her heart before the limited time in this city ran out. Two ways of living collided-two approaches to love, intertwined but not always aligned. They meet in a city that belongs to neither of them. What begins as silence turns into gravity. What feels like safety turns into fire. They do not fall in love. They ignite. And neither of them knows whether they are building a home- or watching it burn. This is a story of fragile connection, of struggle and departure, and of the painstaking process of building a home where reason and feeling could coexist.

In the heart of the vast and gleaming Eirhardt Empire, where bloodlines dictate power and magic shapes destiny, a nameless child is left at the gates of an orphanage on a quiet night. Born into silence, raised in shadows, Elarion does not cry. He does not demand. He simply watches, listens, and endures. But the empire watches too. When a mysterious noble cloaked in imperial black kneels before him, everything shifts. Elarion—only two years old—is chosen. Not for his power. Not for prophecy. Just... for being seen. “In the arms of the Empire” follows the slow, intimate unfolding of a child who was never taught how to be held. Told from Elarion’s perspective as he grows from invisible orphan to the Imperial Heir, the novel traces a path not of war or prophecy, but of soft glances, untied ribbons, whispered names, and rooms that finally feel like home. It is a story of found family, silent resilience, and the aching, beautiful weight of being loved without needing to earn it.

Lin Yushu never had to try very hard at anything. Not because life was easy. But because she was just — built that way. Sharp mind. Warm heart. The kind of person who figures things out before most people have finished asking the question. Languages. Blueprints. People. She reads all of them the same way — naturally, almost without trying. At seventeen she walks into a military world with nothing but herself. That turns out to be enough. What she finds there isn't simple or straightforward. It never is when you are someone like her. There are people who underestimate her. People who don't. A career that grows the way she does — steadily, quietly, on no one's terms but her own. Moments that test her in ways she didn't expect. Relationships that matter more than she anticipated. Loss too. That comes as well. And then — somewhere between one chapter of her life and the next — a man from a completely different world who doesn't quite fit any category she had prepared for. His Regiment, Her Journey is about one woman's life. The remarkable parts and the ordinary ones. About purpose found in unexpected corners. About love that arrives without announcing itself. About what it looks like when someone refuses to be anything other than exactly who they are — for four hundred chapters, through everything life puts in front of them. She didn't set out to leave a mark. But then — she never really had to try.

When Khem’s true plan begins to unfold, Xal and Kian must choose between justice, vengeance, and sacrifice.

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.

Adrian Vale was supposed to have it all—a billion-dollar empire, a bride who loved him, and a legacy carved in his name. He was kind, trusting, and believed loyalty meant something. Until he was betrayed and lost everything on the day that was suppose to be the happiest day of his life.

Elena Park was a novel editor who was just about to approve her client’s final manuscript, a dark romance about betrayal, obsession, and the tragic death of a cruel woman. That woman was not the heroine. She was the villain. A woman who toyed with an amnesiac man. A woman who abused her power and vented her anger on someone who could not fight back. A woman who would eventually be kidnapped, tortured, and left to die alone. Elena knew the entire plot. She had memorized every torture scene. She knew no one would look for her when she disappeared, because she herself had edited the story. But before she could uncover the plot hole that felt strangely out of place, a car crashed into her. When she opened her eyes, Elena was no longer standing on a city sidewalk. She awoke in the De Luca family’s swimming pool, as Elena De Luca, the villain destined to die. And the man who would one day take revenge for everything she had done, Lorenzo Vitale, the mafia boss who lost his memory in an accident she caused, was now staring at her with empty eyes.

Yet one question continued to haunt her, what was the plot hole she had never discovered? Would she follow the original storyline to uncover the truth, or rewrite her own fate, even if it meant becoming a different kind of monster? Because this time, the villain is the one holding the pen.

Aurora Waters was overwhelmed with despair when she faced the truth about her family. She had been born into a family of villains. Even worse, her family had an unhealthy obsession with faking their identities. They took “Fake it till you make it” so seriously that it usually ended with them getting killed! Her oldest brother pretended to be a CEO just to mess with the female lead, but that backfired when the male lead showed up and threw him out. Her second brother? He was an obsessive lover who pretended to be a wealthy second-generation heir—until the real heir ended his life. Her third sister? She faked being an heiress to manipulate the second male lead but ended up being killed by him. Her fourth sister? She faked an illness to attract the third male lead’s attention, only to die from a real one. Her mother? She put on a facade of being a kind and loving mom but ultimately met her end at the hands of the male lead. Her father? He pretended to be a powerful tycoon but lost his job and was drowned by the second male lead. And Aurora? She planned to impersonate the daughter of the richest man alive, but if things went the way they always did in her family, she’d probably meet her end by accidentally falling down the stairs.
