“I don’t want your money, Lyra.” Silas Vane’s voice was calm, almost amused. “I want you... your life precisely” he added coldly. Twenty-four hours ago, Lyra Belrose was the untouchable daughter of a business empire. Wealth, status, and a perfect future were all hers—until her father’s empire collapsed overnight, leaving her drowning beneath a ten-million-dollar debt and enemies waiting for her downfall. Desperate to save her family from ruin, Lyra makes a reckless decision. She breaks into the penthouse of the one man the city fears most. Silas Vane. Billionaire. Power broker. The ruthless man whispered about in elite circles as the King of Sin—a man who buys loyalty, trades in secrets, and never gives anything for free. When Silas catches her red-handed, he doesn’t call the police. He offers her a contract. The Debt: $10,000,000 The Terms: Ninety days under his roof. To the world, she will be the woman standing at his side. His wife. To him, she will belong to his rules, his commands… and his dangerous world. It was supposed to be a simple bargain. A temporary marriage. A debt repaid. A clean escape. But the deeper Lyra falls into Silas Vane’s dark empire, the more she realizes something terrifying— He didn’t choose her by accident. And when secrets from their past begin to surface, Lyra must face the truth behind the contract that binds them together. Because this marriage was never about money. It was about revenge. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more she begins to wonder— Did Silas Vane marry her to save her family… or to destroy it?

NO SMUT. JUST KISSING. I was murdered by the two people I loved most—my fiance and my stepsister. Sickly, weak, and foolishly kind, I couldn’t even fight back. As I lay dying, I remembered all the novels I used to read—stories where villainesses lived fiercely, beautifully, without regret. I wished I could be like them. Then a voice echoed in the darkness. "Congratulations, host. You’ve been chosen for the Villainess System." Now, I’ve been reborn in a new world—strong, powerful, and feared. This time, I won’t be the victim. I’ll be the villainess… and I’ll decide how this story ends.

I died a heroic, powerful, male Archmage… so why did I wake up as a sixteen-year-old girl?! Theo’s last memory is of a glorious, failed last stand. His next is a beeping hospital machine—and a terrifyingly handsome guy he’s pretty sure is a demon calling him “princess.” Now, he’s Thea Montrose, youngest daughter of a powerful family in a world run on magi-tech and corporate espionage. Between navigating floating cars, enduring his new mom’s hugs, and figuring out the horrifyingly complex mechanics of using the bathroom, Theo has his hands full. But his new family is hiding secrets, and their rivals play for keeps. Good thing this spoiled heiress’s body now holds the soul of an ancient wizard. They wanted the real Thea back? They’re about to get way more than they bargained for. He failed to save his old world from an apocalypse—now he just might save this one (and finally figure out how this bra works).

“Do not expect a husband, Woman. I have no room in my chest for a heart– only the King’s law.” I flinched, my eyes filling with fresh tears at the cruelty of his words. "My Lord, I only-" “Be silent,” he spat, not even looking at me. "You are no wife. Only a burden I must now carry across the kingdom.” He gripped my upper arm with a painful force, his strength bruising and indifferent, as he dragged me toward the towering, battle-scarred warhorse. “If you have any dignity left in you, stay downwind and out of my sight. Looking at you is a chore I no longer wish to endure."

Destiny does not ask for permission. Once it starts moving, it never stops. Gu Xingyu, a psychology student who believes in logic over fate, never imagined that a bronze pocket watch would drag her into the Yao Realm—a world where ancient elemental powers collide with strange, almost mechanical inventions. Chosen as the Seeker, Xingyu is bound to the Seal of Yao. Her mission is simple to state, but impossible to ignore: find the five bearers of the Yao Power before a devouring void erases the world itself. Her first encounter is with Lin Lie—a brilliant, cold, and notoriously rude inventor whose sharp intellect rivals his emotional distance. As more bearers emerge, Xingyu quickly realizes that power alone won’t hold this team together. In a realm ruled by secrets, trauma, and supernatural abilities, her greatest weapon isn’t magic—it’s her ability to read minds, unravel motives, and confront the truths people hide from themselves. Five elemental seals. Five dangerous, broken, and unforgettable men. One ticking watch that refuses to slow down. Will Xingyu master the Seal of Yao— or become just another soul it consumes? Inspired by a real handcrafted talisman.

Brimming with confidence, she was ready to embrace her ever-unpredictable daily life—until she suffered a series of major blows from multiple black holes.

A wildly romantic band journey. Along the way, perhaps we can also drop by Kikukawa Kyo’s little bar and order a non-alcoholic Sugar Rush.

1 chapter a day, until completion ~ Enjoy a mature romance. Not overly long, not under-developed, heart-warming and body-warming. ~ Elena is an ER nurse who works nights. Damien is a baker who starts work at 3 AM. They live in the same apartment building and share one thin wall. Their schedules mean they're both awake when the rest of the world sleeps; and a flirtatious exchange of notes under the door evolves into something far more physical after a chance meeting in the hallway at 2 AM.

Aanya is plotting revenge in a seventeen-step plan she's been refining since her rebirth. She does not have time for a cheerful, talkative monk who asks her every morning if she'd like to do breathing exercises and means it completely sincerely. Tenzin has never met anyone like Aanya. In the monastery, people were either peaceful or working toward peace. Aanya is working toward catastrophic. He is equal parts terrified of her and inexplicably, helplessly fond of her — a feeling he keeps trying to categorise as "compassion for a suffering soul" and which is becoming increasingly unconvincing. Together they are an absolute disaster. And somehow, amid the revenge plots, the fainting spells, the prayer-bead-clutching, the Jaipur socialite drama, the suspicious family secrets, and Tenzin accidentally befriending every single member of Aanya's household staff — they are also, slowly, irrevocably, becoming each other's home.

Qian is a cute, kind and loving girl who was just looking for a place to stay but she met someone and was trying hard not to fall for him but she did and will he accept her confession~~~~

That guy was my friend's boyfriend. After they fought, he came home and said he wanted my opinion. What exactly made his girlfriend change? I, who didn't have a bad feeling at all, put him in the house. Then he killed me! That bastard stabbed me multiple times with a kitchen knife and killed me. Even though he knew tomorrow was my wedding day. How sad. A death that made me curse all efforts. But, what could I do? I thought I was dead. I did. Because at that moment I didn't feel any air in my lungs. Because everything went dark. I didn't know anything until I opened my eyes and saw a beautiful ceiling with crystal chandeliers. Are there hospitals like this? I'm sure that even if the apartment I lived in was sold, I wouldn't be able to buy that crystal chandelier! "She's alive! SHE'S ALIVE! LADY ELEONORA IS ALIVE!" I turned my head and saw an old woman running while screaming. I'm alive? Really? But who is Eleonora? I'm Cristy! I don't understand anything yet. Not a single thing. People started introducing themselves as my parents, future in-laws, and fiancé. But I knew that none of them were telling the truth! Their smiling faces were terrifying masks. My gut screamed at me to run away. And I knew that my gut never lied!
