firstlove

At sixteen, attention feels like safety. A boy who looks at me like I matter. Friends who tease me about floating too fast. A home where love feels steady, but conditional in ways I don’t question yet. I have always been good at earning affection. At shrinking myself just enough. At staying quiet when I feel too much. But when trust fractures and the people I lean on begin to shift, I am forced to confront something I have avoided for years: What if I have been trying to prove I belong all along? The Girl Who Needed to Be Chosen is a coming-of-age story about insecurity disguised as devotion, about quiet betrayal and sudden loss, and about a girl learning, slowly and painfully, that being chosen means nothing if she has never chosen herself.

~In a world ruled by blood and power, love is the most dangerous move of all.~ Isabella Moretti has spent her life knowing two things. Loyalty is everything, and the Romano family is the enemy. Especially Dante Romano. He always seemed cold, sharp and untouchable.The kind of man who doesn’t look at girls like her even when they shared the same halls, the same classrooms, the same stolen glances she swore he never noticed. Then he disappeared. Five years later, he returns not as the boy she once knew but as something far more dangerous. And when Isabelle's world falls apart, the last person she expects to claim her is Dante. Not to save her. Not to comfort her. But to possess her and no one is allowed to touch what he claims. He tells himself she’s just leverage, a necessary move in a deadly game of power. Keeping her close ensures the enemy cannot touch her… or use her. But proximity is a dangerous thing. Because Isabella has always known the fire beneath his ice. And Dante is about to discover that the girl he once ignored is no longer a naive school crush. She’s sharp, fearless, and far too intoxicating to keep at arm’s length. ~Isabella is supposed to be a leverage, a strategic move in a ruthless war. Instead, she becomes his weakness.~

Han Soorin thought landing the job of a lifetime—makeup artist for LUMEN, the hottest K-pop boy band in the world—would be her dream come true. Billboards, music shows, sold-out arenas… and her ultimate bias, Jung Haejin, standing just a breath away. But reality? A nightmare wrapped in designer clothes. Haejin, the flawless leader adored by millions, is nothing like the angelic idol Gleams worship. Offstage he’s cold, sharp-tongued, and impossible to please. The first words he throws at Soorin? A sneer at her “lack of manners” and a warning she won’t survive a week. Yet every day backstage pulls her deeper into their chaotic world—glittering stages, vicious rumors, obsessive fans, and the suffocating pressure of perfection. She sees the cracks in Haejin’s mask, the loneliness behind the spotlight… and against her better judgment, her hatred begins to blur into something far more dangerous. When a scandal threatens to destroy them both, Soorin must decide: walk away from the idol she swore to hate, or risk everything to stand by the man she never expected to possibly... love? ✨✨✨✨✨ [Chapter: 5-20 Update Daily] [Update schedule: 10+ comments or 2 reviews=1 Bonus chapter]

This is the end. I’m going to die… That was the only thought in my mind as I stood surrounded by monsters, abandoned by my teachers and classmates during a monster rampage. Just as the Minotaur raised its hammer to crush me, a figure appeared out of nowhere. He swung his scythe and sliced the beast in half, then cut down the rest of the monsters in the blink of an eye. From that day on, I saw him as my savior. But why did everyone else see him as a villain? The media painted him as cruel and cold, a brutal ranker with an awful personality. They called him dangerous, someone to be feared and hated. What the hell are you guys talking about? Ezekiel isn’t like that! But no one believed me. Years passed, and I saw him again... It was at his funeral. He saved my life, and I couldn't save his. The guilt crushed me. But then, a miracle came. I was given a chance to make one single wish. “I wish I could save him!” I shouted without hesitation. And in that moment, time turned back to the day he died. #modernfantasy #romance #femaleleadpov #dungeons #rankers #adventurers #monsters #gates#internet

It’s about heartbreak. Power. And a girl choosing herself first.

Shen Lu wakes up inside a book he knows far too well, and it takes him one breath to realize the truth: he has transmigrated into the body of a vicious sect alchemist, a side character infamous for bullying the future male lead. In the original story, this Shen Lu dies within the first ten chapters, cut down by Helian Feng—an icy, righteous sword cultivator who never forgives and never misjudges. Shen Lu has no intention of becoming a canon death. But repentance doesn’t erase reputation, and survival isn’t as simple as “being nicer.” His body remembers cruelty, the sect remembers every public humiliation he dealt, and Helian Feng remembers the one thing he can never replace: the family token tied to his missing mother, destroyed for sport. Even if Shen Lu changes overnight, Helian Feng sees only a better-disguised threat. When the sect dispatches them into a secret realm to hunt an ancient sword immortal’s remains—an immortal bone rumored to elevate a cultivator’s path—Shen Lu is forced into Helian Feng’s proximity with nowhere to run. His book knowledge keeps him alive, until fear makes him slip and blurt out a detail he should not know. He scrambles for cover, claiming he studied an old realm record, but the damage is done. Helian Feng’s suspicion hardens into something colder than hatred: certainty. Inside the realm, Helian Feng is struck by a lethal poison-curse that locks his meridians and devours spiritual energy. Shen Lu discovers the only antidote is a rare pill that can be refined only by his secret alchemical technique. He makes the choice anyway. The pill saves Helian Feng’s life, but the backlash shatters Shen Lu’s cultivation realm, leaving him weakened and exposed in a place that preys on weakness. The poison does not release cleanly. To survive, they are forced into emergency dual cultivation—an act that violates everything Helian Feng believes about control, purity, and justice, and confirms every rumor Shen Lu once embodied. When it ends, Helian Feng nearly kills Shen Lu in a surge of anger and self-disgust, stopping only because he cannot reconcile murder with the life Shen Lu just gave him. From that moment, Helian Feng becomes hyper-vigilant and controlling, treating Shen Lu like a dangerous liability he alone is responsible for. Shen Lu accepts it, because he has no right to demand trust. He sets one boundary and holds it with shaking resolve: Helian Feng may protect him, but he cannot cross the line again—if there’s poison left, Shen Lu will find the cure himself. Helian Feng agrees, then breaks the spirit of the agreement in the only way he can: by secretly helping, silently shielding Shen Lu from ridicule, danger, and the sect’s hunger for a scapegoat. As they claw their way out of the secret realm with the immortal bone and too many unspoken debts between them, the hatred doesn’t vanish—it evolves. Helian Feng’s blade stays sharp, but his attention lingers too long. Shen Lu’s fear remains, but so does a stubborn gentleness that keeps choosing Helian Feng’s life over his own comfort. Their relationship becomes a slow, brutal negotiation of trust: measured in injuries treated, truths withheld, nights watched over, and the quiet terror of caring for someone who still has every reason to end you. Much later, after they ascend to the upper realm, clues surface about Helian Feng’s missing mother—proof that she is alive beyond the lower cultivation world. The mystery intersects with their path at the worst possible time, when both men are finally beginning to believe in a future. And when their bond is truly accepted by the heavens and tested by fate, the late-story mpreg becomes not a twist, but a payoff: a hard-won life made possible by devotion, cultivation, and a love that survived its own beginning.

I never imagined that the tiny distance of just three houses in my village, Chakulia, would one day become the longest journey of my heart. Why do I still see her in my dreams today? Is it a soul connection, or just a cruel game of destiny? Will we ever be together, or will our story simply fade away into silence? To know the story of my silent agony from childhood until now, read: "The Silent Agony of Unspoken Love."

Warning: Only read, if you have a real appetite for the dark. It’s been six years since Danny and Rain last saw each other. Six years since best friends blurred into almost lovers. Since childhood affection ignited into something reckless, consuming, impossible to name. Then after one glorious night, Danny disappeared. No explanation. No goodbye. Just absence and the wreckage he left behind. Rain rebuilt herself on distance and control, convincing herself the spark had finally burned out. She was wrong. Now Danny is back. Harder. Colder. Hotter. Carrying a past he refuses to explain and a violence that clings to him like a second skin. The boy she loved, the boy who cooked for her is gone , replaced by a man tangled in blood, secrets, and enemies who don’t stay buried. Rain doesn’t just cross paths with him again. She’s pulled into his world. A world of ritualistic killings, whispered threats and blood-curdling violence. Every step closer to Danny drags her further from the life she fought to build , and deeper into a fire she knows will change everything. Their connection reignites fast and furious, desire burning like wildfire. But love isn’t enough to save them from what’s coming. The spark between them was never extinguished. It was only buried. And now it’s about to set everything ablaze. Will the fire consume them both , or will they survive loving each other in a world built to tear them apart? Guaranteed HEA and toe-curling smut;) Excerpt: “ Do you not want me?" I whisper, the question trembling right against his lips. His jaw tightens. His eyes darken. "You don't understand how much I want you," his voice comes out raspy. "How much I want from you." My pulse stumbles. "Then what's stopping you?" I breathe, pushing my chest forward without thinking, nipples tightening under the cool air, awareness pulsing through me. "I'm a greedy man, Rain." He holds my gaze. There's heat there. But there's fear too , both in equal measure. "I will take everything out of you. Everything." His voice carries a dark unmistakable hunger. His hands slide lower, deliberate and possessive. His fingers squeeze my ass hard, then settle there, pulling me closer into the hard line of his hips. "Everything. Until the only thing that remains in you is me." The words land low inside me, hot, aching. My sex throbs in answer, needy, traitorous. "And I will let you," I tell him, voice steady, eyes locked on his. "Only if I get to do the same to you." Silence stretches. His breath skims my cheek. His fingers tightening and then gone. Something flickers across his face hunger, and something I can't begin to understand. And then he looks down in defeat, knowing that he cannot give me what I want. Something fragile cracks between us. Whatever this is looms between us, darkening every moment , a shadow neither of us will name, stretching and stretching until it's all I can feel Contains intense slow-burn heat, emotional angst, and consensual light BDSM. "I'm going to do something," he says, voice low, deliberate, "And I need you to trust me. Do you trust me, Rain?" My mind is drifting somewhere far away — hazy, floating — but my body knows the answer instinctively. Yes. Yes. Yes. I nod slowly. "Yes." "Good," he murmurs against my warm skin. He kisses both my knees one last time, then pushes them up, pinning them tightly against my chest, spreading me completely open for him. Like I'm offering myself to him. His hand slides down, rubbing my pussy in slow, deliberate circles, like he's learning every response and cataloging it . He looks at me — really looks — eyes dark, hungry, ruined. "I'm going to spank you right here," he says, still stroking, like he's soothing me into obedience. "Right where you're swollen for me." All I can do is shiver. "You're going to count," he continues, calm and merciless. "Five."

Too Many Losing Heroes Five lives. Five stories. Each scar hides a reason to love again. Told through five arcs, every story reveals a different kind of love — gentle or painful, quiet or fierce — each capturing a truth about what it really means to love and to lose.

Arc 4 — Hritik: The One Who Sees Too Much Hritik trusts numbers more than people. He built walls out of code, firewalls around his heart — because data doesn’t lie, but people always do.

Series Theme Every arc is a different kind of love — one born from pain, another from trust, another from loss. Five broken hearts, one shared story. Because not all heroes save others.
