All I will say is that it won't be enacted by the ML.

Thinking of her cramped appearance that day, Lu resigned. During the filming, Lu Ci played the role of the high-cold president. His aloof and indifferent demeanor amazed the audience. After the performance, Chi Shuang handed her the sleeve and asked “Touch my clothes to see if I am the wife of the president.” material?” Lu Ci: ………? At the awards ceremony, backstage, Chi Shuang blocked her in the dressing room “Little Luer, I haven’t seen you for so long, do you miss me?” The corners of Lu Ci’s eyes twitched slightly, looking at the man’s restless hands “It’s only been two hours.” When seeing that person always trying his best to have intimate contact with him, Lu Ci once thought it was the sequelae caused by her ingesting too much of her own pheromone, and with a little apology, tried to cooperate with her thoughts.

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.”

Told through dual perspectives and timelines, Christmas Lights traces the fragile line between first love and second chances. Artis and Ethan must decide whether the bond they once shared can survive the truth of who they’ve become. +++ Hii, Kai here. So "Christmas Lights" is a pretty atypical book (especially on Webnovel) because each chapter only has a maximum of 100 words. But you are in for a ride because less words = more emotions pumped into them. This is a work I am very proud of and wrote during a difficult period in life. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I've been writing professionally for 10 years and now I'm on Webnovel to practice consistency. I'm not that good with writing blurbs but I can assure you that my writing is great. It'll be wonderful if you decide to give me and my books a chance. If you liked the story, consider adding the book to your library and leaving a review. You can also contact me via my socials.

When she unexpectedly develops feelings for Dani—a magnetic, fearless girl who awakens a part of herself she’s long avoided—her carefully planned path begins to unravel. Her world becomes even more tangled when Zack, the gentle, dependable golden boy, enters her life offering the kind of stability she’s always been taught to choose.

She is the daughter of his enemy. He is the man who once promised to protect her. Xiamen and Hong Yi were once childhood friends—innocent, inseparable, and bound by unspoken love. But when their families turned against each other, their relationship was twisted into something neither of them had the power to save. Forced into marriage by circumstances and betrayal, their union was built on silence instead of trust. Believing Xiamen never chose him, Hong Yi divorced her, breaking both their hearts. Five years later, they meet again. Hong Yi is now a cold, powerful CEO, hiding his wounds behind control and cruelty. Xiamen returns to his world carrying secrets—and a child he never knew existed. But the heart never forgets its first love… even when love has been buried under misunderstanding, guilt, and pain. When the truth comes to light, will love be strong enough to heal what silence destroyed?

At a school where excellence is everything, a quiet genius and a seemingly emotionless top student find warmth—not in words, but in every shared glance, chess move, and chocolate parfait. Mizuki Fuyune is perfect. Impossibly distant, flawlessly composed—a girl like winter, all still water and untouched snow. No one gets close. No one ever stays. Haruaki Tsugihara never meant to reach her. He hides in the background, hands busy with tools, eyes sharp behind wire-framed glasses. Quiet suits him. Attention doesn’t. But fate has a way of dragging stillness into motion. A shared glance in the library. A Shogi match neither planned to win. And slowly, something begins to thaw. In a world that praises noise, two silent hearts start to hear each other.

Rain Spencer and Dane Collins were everything to each other once. Best friends. Almost lovers. Then enemies. And the cycle kept repeating—until it finally broke them. Years ago, their world was made of inside jokes, stolen glances, summer secrets, and a connection that grew from innocent affection into raw, breathless desire. Until one devastating moment tore them apart and turned two soul-tied kids into strangers. Now, fate drags them back together in the heart of London. Rain is a doctor building a quiet, disciplined life—one that doesn’t have space for the boy who shattered her. Yet when she sees him in a hospital bed, every carefully buried feeling claws its way back to the surface. Dane has returned with scars he refuses to show and a past he can’t outrun. Rain is the one person he’s always burned for… but also the one person he least deserves. The spark between them was never extinguished—only buried. And now it’s threatening to set their entire world ablaze. As old wounds reopen and old chemistry resurfaces, Rain struggles between anger and longing, while Dane fights ghosts he can’t name out loud. Can two people with a history this tangled find their way back to love? Or will the past that broke them once destroy them again? A guaranteed HEA, filled with tension, angst, longing, and slow-burn heat. 18+ only — explicit scenes, mature themes, and a love that refuses to die.

What follows is not prophecy, but childhood - fragile, luminous, and impossible to forget.
