"Jiang Fan, I regret it!"

Clara Lovesteen has always had a dark side. Known to many as a snob and highbrow, being new money means one thing: sparkle high and never look down because if you blink —you could drop at any moment. The one thing keeping Clara from total corruption is her father’s ever fleeting approval —and generous allowance. Her whole life she’d barely skated the line of a high scale life; borrowed designer heels, maxed credit cards, and just enough charisma and daddy’s money to get by in a prestigious college without ever getting her hands dirty. And so far, no one had ever doubted her authenticity. With only one semester left until graduation, she crosses paths with Cyra Blackthorne, the secret billionaire heir of an old-world aristocratic dynasty that no one dares to ask questions about. No interviews. No history. No leaks. Just whispered and inherited power. Their collision changes everything when they are bound by something neither of them understands — something ancient, electric, cosmic and impossible to outrun. Clara must risk her pampered life to fight a darkness that has already chosen her. A strange, supernatural power that she never asked for but cannot escape. The glittering world she grew up in begins to show its veiled sharper edges—where high society is less champagne and smiles and more illicit wars, old-money secrets, and power masked as civility. Cyra may be the only one who can teach her to survive it… But he might also be the one to make her darkness blossom. Is she the spark that softens a villain, or the catalyst that completes one? Together they might save the world. Or burn straight through it.

Eva Ivanova never planned on diapers or lullabies—least of all for a baby who barely makes a sound. But when her best friend dies and names her guardian of an eerily quiet infant, Eva’s world shatters. And it gets worse. The courts assign her a co-guardian: Alessandro Bianchi. Mafia royalty. Hitman in a suit. Her sworn rival in every courtroom they’ve ever battled in. Forced into parenthood together, Eva and Alessandro quickly realize the baby isn’t just quiet—she’s connected to a trafficking network buried deep inside the justice system. And someone will kill to get her back. As enemies close in and old wounds bleed open, the line between hatred and hunger turns dangerously thin. Enemies in court. Partners in crime. Parents by force. And maybe… something they never saw coming.

For nineteen years, Lin Che lived a quiet life in her small village — poor, simple, but happy. She had plans: finish school, marry her childhood sweetheart Zhang Rui, and build a humble future together. Then one afternoon, a convoy of luxury cars thundered into the village — and everything changed. The visitors were from the Gong family, one of the wealthiest families in the country. They claimed Zhang Rui was their long-lost heir, stolen at birth and finally found after twenty-two years. In one moment, Lin Che’s kind, gentle fiancé became a young master. And within days, he changed. He stopped visiting her. He stopped calling her “Che Che.” Soon, Lin Che learned the truth that shattered her heart — Zhang Rui was now engaged to the heiress of another rich family. Betrayed and humiliated, Lin Che swore she’d never let herself be looked down on again. But fate, apparently, had other plans. When she storms into the Gong Group’s headquarters to demand an explanation, she accidentally crosses paths with Gong Feng — Zhang Rui’s uncle, the cold, calculating head of the Gong family empire. He sees through her immediately. She thinks he’s the devil. And yet somehow, she ends up tangled in his world — a world of money, lies, and accidental scandal. As she tries to “get revenge” on her ex, Lin Che finds herself the center of gossip again — only this time, as the woman who caught the attention of the infamous Gong Feng. But what starts as chaos might just become something real…

Seventeen-year-old Aria Nightshade has spent her entire life hiding what she is: a Null—born without magic in a world where power is everything. At the prestigious Thornwick Academy of Arcane Arts, she's survived three years as the "scholarship charity case" by being invisible, doing everyone's homework, and enduring whispers that she only got in because her dead parents were war heroes. But Aria has a secret. She CAN use magic—just not her own. She's a Siphon, able to absorb and wield others' magic temporarily, a forbidden ability that got her ancestors hunted to extinction. One touch, and she becomes whatever they are. It's the reason her parents died protecting her. It's the reason she can never let anyone close. Everything changes when Aria and four other misfit students accidentally break into the Forbidden Archive during a late-night prank gone wrong. They discover the Codex Animarum—an ancient, sentient grimoire that binds itself to them through blood magic, creating an unbreakable System that grants quests, levels, and powers... but demands a price for every gift. The grimoire reveals a conspiracy that spans centuries: Thornwick Academy was built on the tomb of the First Sorcerers, and someone is performing ritual murders to resurrect them. Each victim's magic is being drained and stored. The five students have thirty days before the final sacrifice—which requires the blood of a Siphon. Aria's blood. Now she must work with the prince who publicly humiliated her, the rebel who knows too much about her past, the cursed girl everyone fears, and the prodigy who's competing for her scholarship—all while hiding what she is, leveling up through increasingly dangerous quests, and trying not to fall for the one person who could destroy her if he learned the truth. Because the grimoire has shown her something terrifying: the mastermind behind the murders is someone she trusts. And stopping them might require Aria to finally reveal the monster she's been hiding.

Isn’t she a bully? Then why is she suddenly so sweet to me? ... All my life, I’ve remembered her as my nemesis, one of my greatest fears back in high school my wicked desk mate, my evil roommate.

Slowly, I begin to see the truth the reason behind her coldness in school, and how I had mistaken her quiet protection for cruelty. And now, piece by piece, she dissolves the fear I once felt… replacing it with something far more dangerous, a longing I can’t escape, and a love that I can’t resist.

I've wanted Julian Cross since I was fifteen years old. My best friend Mara's dad—the devastatingly handsome architect who treated me like a child, patted my head at graduation, and never looked twice. To him, I was just his daughter's annoying friend who crashed their lake house every summer. But I'm eighteen now. Legal. And this summer, everything changes. The moment I arrive at the Cross family vacation home and see Julian emerge from the pool—water cascading down abs that belong in museums, gray eyes that finally, finally see me as a woman—I know exactly what I want. Him. Beneath me. Begging. I've spent three years perfecting myself for this moment: the right dress, the right words, the right touch. Julian thinks he can resist. He'll remind me he's forty-two to my eighteen. That I'm his daughter's best friend. That this would destroy his family and my reputation. He's right about all of it. I seduce him anyway. Because Julian Cross doesn't know what I learned watching my mother waste away in a loveless marriage: that the only unforgivable sin is dying without tasting what sets your soul on fire. And Julian? He's been my inferno since the moment I understood what desire meant. One month. One lake house. Two people who should never touch. The whole town will call me a homewrecker. Mara will hate me. Julian's pristine reputation will shatter. But when he finally breaks—when that iron control snaps and he takes me against the dock at midnight, confessing he's wanted me just as desperately—I'll know it was worth burning the whole world down. Some love is worth the ruin. This one? It's worth the inferno.
