Cracking the Ice Queen’s Mask Everyone at Eastwood High knows the ‘Ice Queen,’ but no one knows the girl shivering behind the mask. To the world, Sadie is the untouchable, cold-hearted perfectionist. To her, the title is a survival tactic, a shield against the boys who treat her like a trophy and the rumors that threaten to drown her. When the school’s notorious ‘Hard Guy’ labels her the ‘School Mother,’ Sadie is thrust into a spotlight she never asked for. Trapped in a web of fake relationships, secret heartbreaks, and the suffocating pressure of being the "People's Girl," Sadie is one step away from shattering. But while the school watches her throne, her academic rival, Carl, is the only one watching her truth. He’s the thorn in her side, the one man who refuses to bow to the Queen, and the only one who sees the cracks in her armor. In a game of social survival where one obsessed admirer is turning into a deadly shadow, Sadie must decide: will she keep her crown and stay frozen, or let the one person she hates melt the ice? The higher the throne, the harder the fall. And someone is waiting to make sure she never gets back up. keywords: #Academicrivals #popularmalelead #youngadult #icequeen #slowburn #highschoollife #obssessedadmirer #Deadlyshadow

Eilika Wolanski is the eldest daughter of one of Varos’ most respected merchants, but respect has never brought her kindness. A childhood accident left a scar across her cheek, and with it, a cruel label she can never escape. The “Unwanted Woman” of Varos. Mocked in public, pitied in private, and treated like a blemish to be hidden, Eilika grows up learning one painful truth, beauty matters more than character in high society. So when an unexpected marriage proposal arrives from the powerful House of Kingsley, no one believes it is real. The groom is Damian Van Kingsley, the widowed duke of Varos, feared for his cold temperament and admired for his unmatched looks and wealth. Rumors follow him like shadows. He has a secret mistress, a broken heart drowned in alcohol, and worst of all… A son he barely acknowledges. For Eilika, marrying Damian isn’t a dream. It’s the only option left for survival. Damian, once the kingdom’s most desirable nobleman, has been nothing but a hollow man since the death of his first wife. He has abandoned his responsibilities, pushed away his child, and lived with one vow burning in his chest. He will never replace his first wife. To force him back into duty, his mother arranges a second marriage, one he never asked for, and one he refuses to accept. Damian swears he will never touch her , will never look at her and will never treat her as his wife. But Eilika isn’t the greedy noblewoman he expected. She doesn’t ask for his affection. She doesn’t crave his title. She doesn’t even want his love. What Eilika wants… is something far more dangerous. A family. And perhaps that is the very thing Damian has been starving for all along. ~~~~ “This bed will remain cold until your last breath.” Damian’s voice boomed through the dark chamber. Eilika didn’t flinch at his words. Instead she replied gracefully, “I don’t seek love, Duke. You can visit your secret mistress every night… Just don’t come near me.” This marriage was never meant to become real, until the Duke's heart begins to betray its own rules.

Eve is a clumsy, broke university student who can barely survive a normal day without tripping over her own fate. But on the most important day of her life, when her thesis papers scatter across the campus floor, she is saved by an impossibly handsome and eerily quiet man. One glance is enough to make her heart spiral into chaos, and she becomes convinced he’s a mute prince straight out of a romance novel. However, the “silent prince” is anything but ordinary.

But the deeper she falls into this dangerous romance, the more she realizes Theo isn’t just rich and powerful… he is hiding secrets darker than she ever imagined. And the biggest twist? Theo seems to know her sister, a crime-branch officer investigating the underworld. As love blooms next door, danger quietly closes in.

She’s the chaos his control was never built to survive. In a world built on ambition and polished façades, love turned into the most dangerous clause ever written. Danica Clarke doesn’t play by anyone’s rules but her own. She’s a storm in stilettos, flawless, ferocious, and utterly untouchable. A woman who eats boardroom sharks for breakfast and signs multimillion-dollar deals before her morning espresso cools. She built her empire on blood, grit, and brilliance. Love? To her, it’s for the weak-hearted and the dream-drunk, not for women with empires to build. Alfred Brown is Danica’s living contradiction. Infuriatingly charming, disarmingly kind, with a smile capable of thawing the ice in her veins and a soul so golden it borders on blinding. He is everything she mocks and everything she secretly aches for. A romantic in a world of cynics. A whisper of poetry against her hard-edged pragmatism. When a fake-dating scheme throws them together, sparks don’t just fly, they ignite. Every glance becomes a provocation, every touch a challenge, and every deception sold to the world feeds a truth neither can outrun. Heat builds. Tension breaks. And the distance between wanting and needing collapses. Because sometimes, the last person you’d ever fall for…is the one who makes you fall the hardest ____________________________ Author's Note: Hey lovely readers!

In 2020, Li Yichen died alone in an isolation center, coughing until the world went dark. When he opened his eyes again, he was no longer sick. He was no longer in the future. Reborn into the body of a young man in 1990s China, Li Yichen carried memories of a world that had not yet happened—and knowledge that could change everything. Across the same era, another soul had returned. She remembered the same future. She carried the same scars of a life cut short by a virus that rewrote history. They did not recognize each other as kindred spirits. They became rivals. In a time of rising opportunity and ruthless competition, they clashed in business, ambition, and pride—each determined to survive, to rise, and to never be powerless again. Love was never part of the plan. And neither was the truth—that they were not just rivals of the same era… but survivors of the same ending.

[Warning: this story contains dark themes] **** Seven years ago, Ruby Emerald believed she had everything: love, stability, a future she could finally trust. On her wedding anniversary, she planned a surprise that would change their lives forever. Instead, her world shattered. She found her husband having sex with his ex, the words that followed cutting deeper than the betrayal itself. He said loving her made him feel small. Empty. The child she carried was her quiet miracle, who never got the chance to be born. Ruby lost her pregnancy on the very day meant to celebrate life, sealing her heartbreak in silence. When grief had barely settled, life demanded more. Her mother’s heart was failing. There was a need for surgery, which was devastatingly expensive. Her father’s debts threatened to swallow the family business whole. Ruby was drowning. Then came the knock on her hospital door. Her ex-husband’s stepfather, Max Byron, stepped inside, immaculate and unreadable, his presence commanding the room before he spoke a single word. A man of power, control, and secrets. “I can solve all your problems,” he said. Hope flared, dangerous and fragile until he finished: “My only condition… is that you marry me.” Trapped between survival and self-respect, Ruby is forced into a marriage built on necessity, not love. But beneath the cold arrangement and unspoken boundaries, something unsettling begins to grow, slow, restrained, impossible to ignore. Because the most dangerous thing about this marriage isn’t the bargain she made— It’s the feelings she never agreed to feel.

Dante Vane, the feared “Ghost of London,” is a legendary fixer who rules Europe’s underworld from the shadows.

When Dante’s enemies discover Bree’s existence, she becomes leverage in a brutal war with the Italian mafia.

But victory brings no peace. Realizing the cycle will never end, Dante chooses the unthinkable he kills the Ghost of London. Declared dead to the underworld, Dante vanishes with Bree to Benin City, Nigeria, where they live a quiet, hidden life. Yet the world never truly releases its monsters.

When we agreed to collaborate with Zane Calder, it was supposed to be simple. Four songs. One project. That’s it. But the moment he heard me sing, everything changed. Zane doesn’t look at me like I’m the group’s sunshine. He doesn’t treat me like something fragile or safe. He looks at me like I’m an artist. And that’s terrifying. Because if I’m more than the light they rely on… who am I allowed to become? As the music grows louder, so do the cracks between us — loyalty and freedom, comfort and courage. Harmony isn’t about blending perfectly. Sometimes it’s about daring to sing the note that doesn’t fit.

Three girls. One dorm. Endless heartbreaks, fleeting romances, and the messy, beautiful journey of learning to love, and let go. --×-- Chen Yue has always believed in love at first sight. When she finally catches the attention of her long-time crush, the cold, brilliant physics genius Han Zixuan, she thinks she's found it. But loving someone who doesn’t know how to love back is harder than she imagined, and Chen Yue must navigate the delicate line between hope and heartbreak. "You noticed me," Chen Yue whispered, fidgeting with her sleeve as she tried to hold her smile. "I did. Don't make it sound like a big deal," Han Zixuan replied, keeping his gaze distant. For a moment, the space between them felt impossibly wide. Then Chen Yue tilted her head, daring. "It is a big deal… for me." Han Zixuan stilled, the faintest flicker of softness can be seen in his eyes when he looked at her. After a pause, he looked away, murmuring to himself, "…I've been noticing you all along." --×-- Lin Meixuan has no time for romance, no patience for flirts, and certainly no interest in Fang Yichen, the smooth-talking racer who won't leave her alone. Yet as their paths keep colliding, she begins to realize that persistence can sometimes feel like care… and that care can be terrifyingly close to love. "Stop following me around," Lin Meixuan snapped, swatting his hand away. Fang Yichen only laughed, stepping closer. "I'm not following you. I'm merely supervising your happiness." "By annoying me?" "Exactly," he said, grinning like he'd just solved the universe. "If you survive me, you'll be stronger. Consider it relationship training." Her scowl deepened, but her voice betrayed a mild amusement. "You're unbelievable." --×-- Shen Anran has given up expecting love, not after all she's lost. But when Chen Haoran, the golden boy adored by everyone enters her life, she finds warmth in him. But just as she starts to believe in second chances, the past comes back to challenge everything, forcing Shen Anran to decide if being "fine" is ever truly enough. "When you say you felt distant… was it because I made you feel left out? Or because I didn't explain myself enough?" Chen Haoran asked. He rubs his thumb against the edge of the table, a habit from when he's thinking too hard. "I never wanted you to feel like you had to be understanding all the time," he continued quietly. "I just… thought if you were okay, then I didn't need to keep asking." There's a pause. "Ran… I thought we were fine," he said finally, his voice low, almost stunned. Shen Anran pressed the tissue to her lips, trying to breathe evenly. "I thought so too." --×-- >> Tags: [soft comfort • fluff • angst • sweet • romance • slow burn • comedy • teen • campus] >> Word count per chapter: 1.0k ~ 1.5k

“Unlucky” would be the nice way to describe Lucas’ luck. He wasn’t just down bad. He was practically cursed. As someone who never asked to exist, he’s had to experience medical torture, imprisonment, and eventually death. And that was just his first life. Then, just as he thought of escaping his fate, he transmigrates into the body of the Empire’s most useless Flower Vase. Great, now he should have status, wealth, and beauty, right? Wrong. Because his new body, Young Lord Luca Kyros, was a vegetable. And what’s worse was that no one else seemed to know the truth. To everyone else, he was just your typical rebellious heir. He wouldn’t have minded that. He was used to being called a harlot or similar names for being a defective Guide. But the problem was he woke up right smack in the middle of the Royal Military Academy’s Assessment test. And his double body, the one who should be attending school, perished in an ambush. So now, he’s forced to resolve his existential crisis while attending a school he never even enrolled in. He’ll have to conquer his flimsy body, his brooding roommate, and his picky-eater “dungeon”—all that on top of surviving impending doom. Someone definitely needs a miracle.
