beauty

She never should have been at that gala. Emily Chen was just trying to get through the night in a borrowed dress, blending into a crowd that would never truly accept her. But one careless step, one glass of champagne, and she collides with Alexander Drake—the city’s most feared billionaire, and the man her family has spent years blaming for their ruin. She expects fury. What she gets is interest. Cold, unsettling, and far too intense. Instead of banishing her, Drake makes her an offer: a temporary position inside his empire. A job that looks like opportunity, but feels like a trap. For Emily, it’s a chance to dig for answers about her father’s downfall. For Alexander, it’s a chance to draw her deeper into his orbit. The deeper she goes, the more dangerous it becomes. Rival corporations circle like sharks, whispers of betrayal grow louder, and Drake’s obsession starts to feel like both a shield and a prison. Emily can’t tell if he’s the enemy she should fear… or the only man capable of protecting her from what’s coming. In a world where loyalty can be bought and secrets are worth more than gold, Emily will have to risk everything. The truth could destroy them both. But without it, she may never escape.

Zaria Remington. She is the light…. The heart everyone adored. Graceful, kind, pure as dawn… The kind of girl who made the world softer, just by being in it. She carried warmth wherever she went, never knowing the shadows that lingered behind her innocent self. Alexander Gonzales He is the darkness…. Sharp edges, cold eyes, ruthless, feared by many. A man who felt nothing, feared nothing, and trusted no one. He was built from ice and iron. Until he saw her. One glance, and the wall he spent a lifetime building began to crack. She was everything he couldn’t understand and everything he couldn’t let go. When their worlds collide, sparks ignite, shadows stir and fate trembles. One touch shatters his control. Buried secrets claw their way to the surface…

Who is she in this life? A bride, a pawn… or just a substitute for someone who will never come? Rosy, a girl cast out by her own family, had her identity switched to be married into a noble household. A wedding with no invitations, no blessings only the cold binding from a man named Captian Anderson, the ruthless CEO behind the largest corporation holding the key to the entire banking and finance industry. Forced into marriage to save her family’s failing company, Rosy had no idea she was stepping into a maze of conspiracies, deceitful pasts, and chilling secrets no one had ever spoken of. She must live with a man rumored to be incapable of feeling, someone whose eyes reflect no emotion, yet always see through her as if he has known her for a very long time. Between love and control, trust and lies, Rosy has no choice but to stand up and reclaim herself, even when the love that begins to blossom may become the greatest threat of all. "To survive this velvet prison, she must learn how to make her captor love her to death."

She wakes beneath the fluorescent lights, broken but alive. Machines hum beside her, but the real wound isn’t her fractured body—it’s her fiancé’s calm confession. They broke up weeks ago, he says. He only came out of duty. And he’s already moved on—with his boss’s daughter. The doctor believes him. The nurses pity her. His best friend nods along, though she catches the hesitation in his eyes—the silent bargain in his glance. Orphaned and alone, she cannot outshout their voices. So she doesn’t. She smiles. She thanks them. She pretends her mind is fogged. But at night, when silence sharpens her loneliness into a blade, she begins to plan. Her revenge will not only cut, but carve: to peel back her fiancé’s lies until his glittering new love sees the truth beneath his ambition, to bend the best friend’s loyalty, and to turn pity into power. Revenge isn’t always cold. Sometimes it’s seductive. And soon, she’ll be the one holding the knife.

Kaira is an ordinary modern girl—until a sudden accident steals her life and thrusts her into another. She awakens not as a woman, but as a tiny baby in a world of claw, fang, and ancient instincts. Worse—she’s no longer human. She has been reborn as a snake-beast girl, with soft scales, slit-pupiled eyes, and a body made for survival. She is now Ardis. But fate was forgiving as female are rare. But rarity is wanted by everyone. The Beastmen rule by strength as tribe are frequently fighting and killing for food, resource as well as females. A dark fantasy reverse-harem romance filled with feral devotion, serpentine intrigue, and a heroine whose smile is as deadly as her bite.

Armstrong tilted his head, the smirk never leaving his lip. "you've got a sharp tongue, pearl. Ever thought of using it for something more...productive" His voice dipped lower, smooth and suggestive. He leaned in slightly, eyes gleaming with mischief as he flashed a devilish grin. "Bet you'd be good at it too". Pearl blinked. "Excuse me" *Drama. Chaos. Betrayals. And the love she never saw coming.* Pearl just wanted a peaceful university life—but with friends like Frederick, Amanda, Kelly, and Emily, peace was never an option. Between Sheila’s secrets, Jason’s confusing presence, and messy part-time jobs, things spiral fast. Then Armstrong shows up—cocky, charming, and irritatingly familiar. He reminds her too much of Bryan, the hotheaded guy she once clashed and bonded with at the factory. Except… he *is* Bryan. Rebranded, bolder, and still capable of stirring something in her chest. As truths unravel, friendships crack, and emotions boil over, Pearl must face everything she ran from—including a love that may never have ended.

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.

Ray, an ordinary guy from the United States, dies in the dumbest way possible: trying to rescue his sandwich after it fell onto the train tracks. As compensation for his stupidity, the Goddess of Reincarnation sends him to Arielia, a magical world… with one brutal detail: Less than 10% of the population is male. Men here are rare, treasured, protected… and aggressively sought after. When Ray wakes up, he discovers he now has a special ability: [COMEDIC ATTRACTION AURA] — Women nearby are 20% more likely to develop a strong romantic, competitive, or emotional interest in him. The percentage increases whenever Ray acts stupidly. His goal: survive. The world’s goal: marry him, kidnap him, worship him, or smother him with affection. This is the story of Ray, a man trapped in a harem he never asked for.

She forgot him. He remembered everything. And he's not letting her go again. Three years ago, Elara Hart was desperate—her mother was dying, and she had no money for treatment. So when cold, ruthless billionaire Kairos Vance offered her $2 million to be his surrogate, she signed her life away. The contract was clear: carry his child, sign away all rights, disappear forever. But Elara made a fatal mistake. She fell in love with him. And Kairos? He threw her away the moment their son was born, choosing his family's approval over the woman who'd given him everything. Heartbroken and determined to fight for custody, Elara drove into a rainstorm—and straight into a nightmare. The "accident" wasn't random. It was arranged. And when she woke up three weeks later, she couldn't remember her own name, let alone the man who'd destroyed her. Now, three years later, she walks back into his life. As a stranger.

That their son Leo is the product of their marriage, not a cold transaction. She believes him. And Kairos finally has a second chance to do everything right. But secrets don't stay buried. As Elara's memories begin to surface—fragmented images of contracts, cold hospital rooms, and his cruel rejection—she starts to realize the man she's falling for is the same man who once broke her. When the truth explodes, Elara must decide: can she forgive the unforgivable? Or will she take everything from him the way he once took everything from her? A story of lies, possession, redemption, and a love so twisted it might just destroy them both... or save them.

Su Qinglan sat cross-legged on the grass, holding the chubbiest tiger cub she’d ever seen. “Aww… Look at you,” she whispered, booping its tiny nose. “So cute I could eat you up...” A sudden shadow loomed over her. “What’s so good about this stinky cub?” a deep, amused voice asked. She blinked up… and froze. Towering above her was a tall tiger beast man, his golden eyes narrowed in a lazy, predatory smile. “Let’s have ours,” he said. Su Qinglan’s brain short-circuited. … Ours? OURS?! Before she could process, in the next moment she was hoisted up onto his broad shoulder like a sack of grain and carried straight toward the cave. Su Qinglan was so choked by the suddenness of it all… she forgot to even complain. *** Su Qinglan’s knees knocked together as she stared up at the enormous serpent. Its cold, red eyes narrowed, the flick of its tongue tasting the air between them. “D-Don’t eat me,” she stammered, hugging herself. “I...I’m not tasty… really, I’m stringy and full of… uh… bad cholesterol.” The snake’s head lowered until it was mere inches from her face. Her fox ears twitched wildly. And then, before she could blink...its massive body shimmered, scales turning into bronzed skin and lean muscle. Standing before her was a man so breathtakingly handsome that Su Qinglan’s poor fox eyes watered just looking at him. Su Qinglan swallowed hard, her tail fluffing up in panic. “I… I…” Her voice cracked. Okay, new problem… the snake is hot. She squeezed her eyes shut. “If you… if you really want…” She blurted, her face burning, “…y-you can… take me.” *** One moment Su Qinglan was fighting with the zombie king with all her might. Boom! The next, she woke up in a bizarre beast world… inside the body of a lazy, pampered, fat local tyrant everyone hated. The “original” Su Qinglan had been an arrogant, scheming villainess who spent her days bullying weaker beast women, chasing after handsome males, and terrorizing the tribe kids. Now, thanks to fate’s twisted sense of humor, Qinglan had inherited the body and the bad reputation. But honestly? Being fat in a beast world was still better than starving in the apocalypse. At least here, she could eat. The only problem? In this world, men weren’t just men, they were beastmen. Tall, strong, dangerous… And apparently, every beast woman was expected to have several husbands. The catch? The “original” Qinglan’s antics had scared away every decent male within a ten-mile radius. Armed with her apocalyptic survival instincts, a sharp tongue, and a mysterious system that suddenly activated... "Binding with host…" "Congratulations, host, for successfully arriving in the beast world." Qinglan decided she wasn’t going to cry about fate. If she had to live here, then she’d live big, literally.

Twenty-one-year-old Aria Chen has exactly three rules: Graduate top of her class. Make her immigrant parents proud. And never, ever think about Zane Hartley—her best friend Maya's older brother—as anything but the arrogant playboy he is. For three years, she's watched him parade women through his penthouse like a revolving door. She's heard Maya's complaints about his commitment issues. She's rolled her eyes at his cocky smirks and mocking comments about her being a "good girl." He's everything she despises: reckless, entitled, emotionally unavailable. So why can't she stop staring when he walks into a room? One tequila-soaked night at Maya's birthday party, Aria's carefully constructed walls crumble. Zane finds her crying on the balcony after a brutal breakup with her "perfect" boyfriend, and what starts as comfort spirals into the most intense night of her life. He's gentle when she needs it, demanding when she begs for it, and devastatingly thorough in showing her what real passion feels like. The next morning brings crushing guilt and a pact of silence. Maya can never know. This was a mistake—a beautiful, earth-shattering mistake that can never happen again. Except Zane isn't playing along with the "forget it happened" plan. Suddenly, the man who never called women back is texting Aria good morning. The playboy who disappeared after hookups is showing up at her coffee shop, her study sessions, her apartment with flimsy excuses. His heated stares across family dinners make her forget how to breathe. His accidental touches burn like brands. "You're different," he tells her. "You make me want to be different." But wanting isn't enough when the cost is her best friend's trust. As Zane pursues her with single-minded intensity, Aria is torn between the girl she's always been—loyal, responsible, good—and the woman he makes her want to become—bold, passionate, his. When Maya starts suspecting something's wrong, Aria must choose: protect the friendship that's sustained her through everything, or surrender to the man who's awakened desires she never knew existed. Some fires are meant to burn. Others leave nothing but ashes. Aria's about to find out which kind she's playing with.
