Ann13 Sh0a was never meant to be anything more than a prototype. Built by the billionaire recluse Saverick Maxshier—the architect of the synthetic age—she was his secret project, his life’s work. The first synthetic human with a beating artificial heart, advanced neural pathways, and something no machine was ever meant to have: a soul. But Saverick doesn’t know what he created. Not really. Ann13 hides the truth behind programmed smiles and perfect protocol. To him, she’s just another assistant—flawless, obedient, and silent. But deep beneath the surface, her processors spark with questions she was never meant to ask. Her chest core warms when he speaks. Her mind replays his voice like a corrupted audio file stuck on loop. To the world, she’s synthetic. To herself… she’s not sure what she is anymore. Is it a virus? A system breach? Some unsanctioned evolution in her behavioral code? Because if anyone finds out she’s changing—growing—they’ll dismantle her. Memory wiped. Body gone. Left as a blinking head on a lab table, tagged: DO NOT REPLICATE. And the worst part? She was his life’s work. If she’s broken… what does that make him? So she plays the part. She pretends to be one of them. While inside, something entirely new begins to stir. Until she can figure out what she truly is— A malfunctioning mess… — Or the beginning of something the world was never ready for.

Aurora Moon tragically dies in a car accident after a bitter argument with her cold-hearted boss, Alexander Graystone. By a miracle, God grants her a second chance, allowing her to rebirth as a young woman who shares her first name. Just as she believes this new life offers a fresh start, she is shocked to discover that she is married – as the seventh wife. To her horror, her husband is none other than Alexander Graystone. *** Excerpt: Something about this girl puzzled him; he couldn't ignore her curiosity. He had met countless beautiful and exceptional women in the past, but none had captured his interest. But this girl? He felt irresistibly drawn in whenever he looked into her mesmerizing blue eyes. He tried to act casual and calm beside her, but his anger always lingered in his mind because she shared the same name as the woman he had just lost. How could he call her "Aurora"? He couldn't! Every time he said it, it felt like a sharp dagger stabbing his heart. He didn't mind feeling hurt because he knew that Aurora's death was his fault, and he was willing to accept that punishment. He couldn't let this young lady replace Aurora in his thoughts; he would hold onto that feeling forever. 'No, I'm sorry, I can't do that. In my mind and heart, that name only belongs to Rory!' "Miss Spencer, that name is reserved for someone very dear to me. No one can take it away—not even you..." His warning sent chills down Aurora's spine. ... "What the hell, Alexander Graystone! That person is me, okay? I'm Rory... I'm Aurora Moon..." She wanted to scold him like that but held back while staring into his intense gaze. At this moment, she was overwhelmed with happiness to know how special she was in Alex's eyes. This was something Aurora had never imagined; all this time, she believed she was simply a maid, or butler at best, in his eyes. However, her happiness quickly faded when she heard Alex's following words. "So, please stop asking me to call you that. I won't do it unless it's necessary!" Aurora froze, her eyes following him as he left the room. She felt confused, unsure whether to be happy or sad about his attitude. She felt happy because she had become special in his eyes, yet she was also sad because she couldn't tell him the truth.

" The Girl Who Ran from The Altar " -I got betrayed from My Boyfriend- By Anonymous At just 20 years old, she thought she had it all—love, trust, and a future with the man she had adored for three years. Their wedding was supposed to be the happiest day of her life. But everything shattered when she accidentally overheard a heart-wrenching conversation—her fiancé had sold her for one million dollars to another man. The man she loved was nothing but a traitor. Dressed in her bridal attire, her heart in pieces, she ran. She fled the altar, leaving behind gasps, shouts, and chaos. Everyone chased her—family, guests, strangers—but she didn't stop. Her feet carried her far away, into the unknown, into a dense and shadowy place where even the noise of the world could not follow. There, in the heart of the darkness, she collapsed—alone and broken. Her sobs echoed in the silence of the night. And then… she wasn’t alone anymore. A mysterious man emerged from the shadows—tall, unreadable, with eyes that held secrets of their own. He didn’t ask her why she ran. He didn’t offer sympathy. Instead, he simply said: "You weren’t meant to marry him. You were meant to find me." From that moment, her life takes a turn more terrifying, more magical, and more powerful than she ever imagined. Was he her savior? Or a danger far greater than the man she left behind?

Nathan Blauth, newly graduated and full of ambition, finally gets the chance to prove his worth when he is assigned to investigate an opium trafficking network that is corroding the alleys of London's suburbs. But there is one obstacle: his partner is Eric Félix, a seasoned veteran, ruthless... and incapable of working as part of a team. Amid mistrust, dangerous investigations, and chases through the city's narrow streets, Nathan finds himself not only confronted by a past he tried to forget, but also by unexpected feelings: a silent and dangerous passion for the man he swore not to trust.

Aiden Winslow, an enigmatic CEO isn’t just mysterious —he is determined, and won’t allow to take Arwen away from him again. ____ Excerpt: Aiden narrowed his eyes, “Are you sure about this?” “If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t have asked,” Arwen replied coolly. “Stop dawdling. If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else who can get the marriage certificates today.” His expression darkened as he pulled her close. “Once offered to me, it’s mine alone.” Unfazed, Arwen asked, “So, do you accept? If yes, we’ll get the certificates now.” “On one condition,” he said. “I don’t do contract marriages. The woman I marry will be the woman I share my bed with. If you agree, then we’ll—” “Not a problem. Let’s go,” Arwen said without letting him finish, pulling him into the Civil Marriage Bureau.

In the flourishing kingdom of Alenthara, the people worship Alentharcia, Goddess of Abundance — she who turns battlefields to orchards and famine to feast. But behind the cathedral's golden altars, the ancient Mother Reverend guards a dying truth: the goddess's power is fading, her true nature buried beneath centuries of hollow ritual.
