The Manager’s Promise

The Manager’s Promise Logline: A young BBA student must navigate a web of office politics, double lives, and a "two-way love" to turn a manager’s reckless promise into a lifelong commitment. The Setup Alfha, a 19-year-old BBA student in India, begins an internship under Adi, a sharp and successful Branch Manager. What begins as a professional mentorship quickly escalates into a whirlwind romance. However, the dream shatters when Adi confesses that his initial proposal was a "mistake"—a suggestion from his roommates to help him recover from the depression of a past breakup. The Conflict Determined to keep her dignity, Alfha builds a "Professional Wall," treating Adi with cold, office-standard formality. Yet, the heart is not so easily managed. As Adi realizes the depth of his feelings for Alfha, he pulls her back in, claiming a "Two-Way Love"—he loves Alfha, but feels he "needs" his ex-girlfriend. Alfha becomes a public secret, living in the shadows of Adi’s double life. The Turning Point The arrival of Rony, a fellow Branch Manager and Adi’s best friend, changes everything. Rony becomes Alfha’s silent ally, revealing Adi’s secrets through muted conference calls. For the first time, Alfha hears the unfiltered truth: Adi is painting her as a "mentorship project" to his ex while calling her his "soul" in private. The Climax The "Two-Way Love" collapses when the ex-girlfriend betrays Adi again, announcing her marriage to someone else. Adi returns to Alfha in a state of total brokenness. Instead of offering immediate comfort, Alfha sets a New Boundary. She refuses to be the second choice or a secret anymore. She demands a public vow and total transparency. The Resolution Adi proves his devotion by confronting his roommates and publicly claiming Alfha as his partner. The story concludes with a real, heartfelt proposal in the same office where they met—no longer as manager and intern, but as equals. The "Manager’s Promise" is finally fulfilled, leading to their real-life marriage.

Second Chance As The Cannon Fodder

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.

To Soothe A Dying Sun…(BL)

╭──────༺♡༻──────╮ “What happened to ‘Yes, Your Highness’?” A cold voice asked. “What happened to your dignity as a prince?” Elias shot back in anger. He knew he was being unreasonable but he had to be. That was too close. The prince’s hand moved faster than sight. He hooked two fingers under Elias’s chin and jerked him forward. Elias felt the heat crawl up his neck. His face went traitorously red. Their breath mingled. Up close, the prince looked like a predator. A pretty handsome one. ╰──────༺♡༻──────╯ In the halls of Ravenholm Academy, status is measured by efficiency, and magic is a tool for the elite. Elias Thornbloom, a second-year student from a fallen noble house, wants none of that status. With his moss-green hair and silver eyes, Elias is the plant mage who views his powers as something to use mainly for his family and to help the plants. His only goal is to restore his family’s tarnished name and return to the quiet orchards of family and grandmother. But the plan for silence of Elias’s life is shattered in the same space he thought was safe. Cassian Thalorin, the perfect and lethal Crown Prince, is dying. He is the victim of a parasitic ancient plant curse that feeds on royal magic. To the King, his father, an inefficient heir is a liability; to Cassian’s ambitious brother, Zayne, the curse is an opportunity to steal the throne. The pact they made was simple. ‘Heal me. You and your family gets to live in peace.’ But what happens when the lines begin to blur? ʚ♡ɞ ʚ♡ɞ ʚ♡ɞ ʚ♡ɞ ʚ♡ɞ ʚ♡ɞ ʚ♡ɞ https://discord.gg/HA8vDUkmhf discord server for my books hi guys! it’s me again I used my previous book to learn a lot of things so this one will definitely be better than the last.
