In Progress

At the heart of a wish lies an attempt at completion, a human desire to become our true and final selves. Wishes are fuelled by regrets and are bound eternally to the past, serving as approximations of what once was. We all experience regret and nostalgia, leading us to make wishes and find despair, but can we become our true selves despite this all? That's where the story of a girl who struggles to control her desires begins... Two souls sharing the same body and memory are living in Kyoto 2031. Tang-Ji Shizukesa, a girl who's grown up in her previous life with a hardcore passion for gaming, is now a bookworm in her new life who has no interest in video games. Along with her, Kazami and Hoyeon, the three childhood friends who separated 7 years ago due to an accident, have now been reunited again in a VRMMORPG game known as Dusk Protocol. The game has a unique combat system known as "Leere," a physical manifestation of an individual soul that can be conjured into deadly weapons. As Tang-Ji navigates this virtual world, she confronts the echoes of her past and the dissonance between her former self and her present identity. How will she cope with the rediscovery of a life she thought she left behind? How will Kazami and Hoyeon react to the new Tang-Ji? In a world where reality is malleable and death is just a click of a button away, the boundaries between past and present blur, forcing everyone to grapple with the truth of who they truly are.

Elara has it all: a doting husband, a beautiful daughter, and a life of luxury free from worries. From the outside, her existence is flawless—like a pristine string of pearls.

There, she comes face to face with Kael, her passionate ex-lover from the past who left an unfinished story between them. Their reunion is fraught with awkwardness and unspoken tension. They are both married, building an invisible wall between them. Yet, the real shock comes when David, Elara's husband, arrives to pick her up.

And Elara realizes she never truly forgot the man from her past. With fate orchestrating more chance encounters, their forbidden connection becomes inevitable. Every meeting is a whisper from the past, a temptation of a life she could have had. Standing at the crossroads of duty and desire, of a safe life and an intoxicating love, what choice will Elara make?

A steamy, emotional forbidden romance about second chances, secrets, and the courage to choose yourself.

Suho has always lived between two worlds. One shaped by legacy, pride, and expectations he never chose, and another shaped by a heart that feels too deeply for the life he is meant to lead. He is cold, silent, charming, and smart when it comes to business. But he is gentle by nature, emotionally deep, and quietly devoted when it comes to his love. But love was never allowed to be part of his carefully arranged world. It was always meant to be negotiated, controlled, and contained. At this point in his life, Yerin is his everything. His first love, his only love. He is willing to go to any length to keep her, even when his family repeatedly refuses to accept her. Torn between a heart that refuses to let go and a lineage that demands an heir to carry the Kim legacy, Suho takes a decisive step, trying to hold on to Yerin without disappointing the family that expects obedience and continuity from him. Then Hauen enters his life. Not through affection, but through a contract. Chosen not as a partner, but as a solution, Hauen becomes his wife in a marriage built for convenience. An agreement meant to secure an heir and protect the Kim family’s legacy. In return, Hauen enters this marriage to save her father’s bankrupt business. She is warm and gentle, yet guarded. Strong in quiet ways, carrying her own unspoken burdens. To the world, their marriage looks flawless. Polite smiles, perfect appearances, a union without cracks. To them, it is nothing more than a carefully written business contract, set to end after eighteen months. But life has little patience for plans built without truth. In the midst of calculated decisions and emotional restraint, fate pushes Suho into the lowest point of his life, breaking him in ways he never expected. Stripped of control, certainty, and pride, he is forced to confront the parts of himself he has never imagined. At his most fragile moment, the question is no longer about legacy or contracts. It's about Who will stay when everything collapses? Who will stand beside him when life is hard for him? And when life offers both unbearable loss and unexpected grace, will Suho have the courage to accept them? This is a story of love that begins as an obligation, fractures under destiny's test, and slowly transforms into something honest, real, and beautiful.

Lennox cornered her in the hallway, his amber eyes troubled. “You didn’t deserve that.” “Didn’t I?” Olivia challenged. “Wasn’t it you who told the entire pack that the daughter of a traitor should be treated as less than human?” “I was wrong,” he admitted. “We all were.” “Three years, Lennox. Three years of serving as your Omega, of being spat on, of watching you three worship the ground Anita walks on while I’m nothing but a shameful secret.” From the shadows, Levi’s voice emerged. “The Moon Goddess bound us for a reason.” Olivia’s bitter laugh echoed through the corridor. “And you’ve fought that reason every step of the way.” “We didn’t know,” Louis appeared beside his brothers, forming the triangle that had always made Olivia feel trapped. “About your father, about the conspiracy—” “So that’s what it takes?” she asked, voice trembling. “My father’s name being cleared for you to acknowledge me as your Luna? As your mate?” “No,” Lennox reached for her. “It’s seeing your strength, your resilience despite everything we put you through.” “We were cruel,” Levi admitted. “We were wrong,” Louis echoed. Olivia looked at each of them, these three powerful Alphas now regarding her with something approaching reverence. Olivia’s smile held no warmth. “Now I realize some wounds cut too deep to heal. You can’t break someone for years and expect them to be whole for you when it’s convenient.”

In a world ruled by fear and deception, the line between truth and lies is written in blood. Jane, a stubborn young witch, thought her greatest battles were with the magic she could never fully control. That changes the day she stumbles into a nightmare—the government’s secret experiments, twisted dungeons, and the infamous General Shax, whose violet eyes burn with cruelty.

Arianne Summers is a legend in the boardroom—and a nightmare to her enemies. She dismantled her cheating father’s career, outmaneuvered every greedy relative, and rose to become the sole heiress of the Summers empire. Her one mistake? Falling in love. Being publicly discarded by her fiancé for another woman wasn’t just a personal humiliation—it triggered a calculated corporate takeover that stripped Arianne of everything she built and left her infamous overnight. Five years later, determined to live quietly and far from the battlefield she once ruled, her carefully rebuilt solitude is shattered by an unexpected knock at the door. On her doorstep stand two sharp-eyed, scheming four-year-old twins holding a handmade sign that reads: “Marry Our Uncle!” Their proposal is… unconventional. “Marry our Uncle Franz!” the girl declares. “We’ll help you destroy your evil ex!” the boy adds, proudly waving a crayon-drawn “business plan.” Their uncle, Franz Rochefort, is a world-famous actor forced into the role of CEO after his brother’s sudden death. Overwhelmed, underestimated, and struggling to keep both his company and the grieving children afloat, Franz is mastering every role except the one he never wanted—corporate leader. The twins, however, have reached a conclusion of their own. Only the infamous Ruthless Queen of the Business World is fierce enough to protect their uncle, stabilize their lives—and maybe even stay. For Arianne, the proposition is tempting. His name and influence could shield her return. Her experience could save his crumbling company. A clean, logical, temporary arrangement. How hard could it be to play the role of a wife and an aunt? Answer: hilariously, heartbreakingly, catastrophically hard. Between boardroom power plays and kindergarten meltdowns, Arianne finds her carefully armored heart softening under sticky fingers and bedtime questions. Franz turns out to be far less incompetent than he appears—and far more dangerous to her resolve. And the twins? They’re running an operation of their own: Operation Make Uncle and New Aunt Fall in Love. But when pretend arrangements begin to feel real and old enemies start closing in, Arianne must decide what matters more—revenge against the past, or protecting the fragile, unexpected family she never planned to have. A ruthless CEO. A reluctant superstar. Two scheming children. And a love story that was never part of the plan. #ceoromance #reversedrole #slowpaced
