Lyra Ashford, a young doctor, believed her life with her fiancé, Lucas Arden, was just beginning. But everything changed when Lucas suddenly left to go abroad, postponing their wedding without even asking her. He simply assumed she would wait for him to return. But Lyra, to protect her family, she agreed to marry Rowan Pierce instead—a man she never imagined she could love. At the altar, Rowan made it clear he would not accept a marriage of convenience. He wanted Lyra to choose him freely, not out of obligation.

"I love you, okay?" ... her voice broke as she stared up at Nur's face. His eyes widened, chest tightening as he stared back at her, at the magnitude of her words. Tears clung to Ayse's lashes, his wife who he supposedly contract married. From the very first day they locked eyes, he loved her but not even for a second, he would have thought she would fall for him. This was Deniz Nur Hakan--The sole heir to the multibillion-dollar company, he who built empires with his bare hands. He had ice in his veins and ruled with an iron fist. Men trembled under his gaze; women drove to him.  A man whose ears were deaf to the pleadings of many. Some called him a bastard, and for some he was just their "son"  His father, Emre Yousef Hakan--A tyrant man. He handed Nur the keys to the Hakan's estate. Well pleased and trusted that his son will continue his tyrannical reign. After the funeral ceremony, his mother had come to him.  Conversing to him on estate matters and the "future" "How his job wasn't only proceeding his father's company but to also produce an heir" Nur stared at his mother's unreadable face; he shook his head and sternly rejected even a thought on such matters.  Though months passed. One faithful night, he received the news.  "Mr. Hakan, your mother has passed away" Nur was left heartbroken; he fled from U.K and quickly arrived at Istanbul via his private jet.  The car clicked opened as he made his way in the magnificent "Hakan estate" Where he would find his "relatives" people who they had lost connection to the very day his parents married. They weren't well off back then yet lived happily.  He paid them no mind and walked towards the center where his mom's coffin was.  Clutching around the fine wood, tears sprung out. His mother, the only one who he could rest his head on the shoulders, lazily talk about his day. She had left him. The funeral has ended. Meanwhile Nur sat at his study, blue eyes flickering under the warm glow. Just then--the door clicked, there entered, Ali Demir, his father's advisor, now his. The silver-haired man walked to him, hands clutching at piles of documents. He then conversed to him on the future and that to attain his will, he must marry. Nur's face turned pale, marriage--A chapter that he had closed long ago. After his previous marriage in Ankara to his childhood sweetheart--Eylul Aydin. He remembered her end--how his father mercilessly unlived her and their unborn child. Nur had also rejected this idea prior to his mother's death. Yet--Ali continued, "the bride had also been selected" His jaw flexed as he raked his eyes at him, "Did you...? Ali shook his head, "I wouldn't dare... if it wasn't the very own wish of Mrs. Hakan" Nur sighed, a part of him was uninterested and the other part? --merely curious to who it was. Ali continued, the bride is from one of the Kaplan family branches. "Who...is it? Nur's voice came out, flustered. Ali's mouth parted, "Ayse Azra Yildiz" His eyes widened, his chest tightened.

Confident, voluptuous, and ambitious, she's nearly within reach of the promotion that will help to finance the college education of her autistic brother. She needs but one account- the account of Anthony Marvin, arguably the most influential and dangerous man in New York. Anthony "Tony" Marvin doesn't just own hotels and nightclubs. He controls both legitimate and underground empires as the heir of the most notorious mafia family in the city. Tony is ruthless, heartbreakingly handsome, and untouchable until Katherine enters his club with the business plan and with an unwavering refusal to back away from him. When Tony offers Katherine something she cannot refuse —a night with him in exchange for the contract —she storms out, humiliated and outraged. But Tony is interested in the woman who had the strength to say no to him, and Katherine finds herself drawn into a dangerous game of power struggle, desire, and growing love. As their relationship grows stronger, Tony's father, the ruthless mafia kingpin Thomas Marvin, will do whatever it takes to eliminate what he sees as his son's greatest weakness. Surrounded by enemies and with Katherine's entire family in danger, she and Tony must decide if their love is worth risking everything — including their lives. In a world in which love is the ultimate vulnerability, can a banker and a mafia prince redefine the rules of power?

The continent has existed for thousands of years. Multiple lordships, one King. Elves and humans lived as one, until one regretful night. Elves on the honor council, elf lords, farmers, women and children slaughter over fear. Every elf alive can manipulate some form of magic, from growing seeds to controlling fire, it's determined randomly at birth. The Emerald Children are elves that can manipulate all forms of magic. The humans were always envious and terrified of The Emerald Children, desperately trying to obtain similar powers by any means, but due to their failures, the King declared war upon the entire race. They were slaughtered at the crib, hanged in the town squares until Rowena Mira brokered a fragile peace treaty which resulted in elves being outcasted. Forced to live in poverty and do humans dirty work while the Emerald Children were hunted for sport. Until one fateful night, the sky cracked open in the color jade, telling the world a new Emerald Child had been born and with it, the continent became bound with destiny.

An elderly, warm-hearted woman once sold steamed buns on a quiet street, unknowingly changing the fate of a poor young boy with a single act of kindness. The warmth of freshly steamed buns lingered in the winter air—and that small bun became the beginning of his extraordinary future. Reborn years later as an 18-year-old girl, I am that same woman, returned to the world with memories of my past life, quietly watching destiny weave its threads once more. The boy I once helped has grown into a 37-year-old man—powerful, wealthy, and commanding. Yet behind his sharp gaze and confident presence lies the shadow of the past we once shared. When I stand before him again, shy and uncertain, the gentle warmth in his eyes feels hauntingly familiar, as if he recognizes something even I dare not speak. Bound by fate across two lifetimes, our connection grows from simple kindness into a love that defies time, identity, and destiny itself. Can a bond born from compassion transcend reincarnation and finally reach its destined ending?

She should never have drawn the eyes of an angel. Much less the heart of the most feared among them. For years, Celeste has carried a secret no human should ever bear: the memory of a forbidden love she lived with Lucifer, the banished angel whose blue grace is as ancient as creation itself. He left her to protect her, but a fragment of his light remained trapped within her — and now it begins to awaken. As the blue mark spreads across her skin, Celeste starts to see the world as angels do: shifting shadows, echoes of souls, breathing lights. Heaven senses the change and deems her a threat. The Underworld claims her as the property of the Banished King. And both sides agree on one thing: she should not exist. When Lucifer returns and discovers that his light has transformed the woman he loved, he faces the greatest dilemma of his existence: step away to save her, or protect her even if it shatters the balance between Heaven and Hell. But Celeste no longer accepts being hidden. She wants to live. She wants to love. She wants to choose — even if choosing Lucifer costs her humanity. Hunted by demons, judged by angels, and threatened by a growing rebellion in the Underworld, the two must confront a destiny that was never written for them. When the Banished Angel Loved is a story of surrender, sacrifice, and redemption — where even a condemned heart can find peace in the arms of someone it was never meant to touch.

One night. One mistake. One scandal that changed everything. Evelyn Charlotte Carter never imagined her name would end up in the headlines — betrayed by her boyfriend, accused of an affair and thrust into a storm she never saw coming. But what the world doesn’t know is that Alexander Reid, the ruthless and composed heir of the Reid empire, has loved her for years. He saw her first. He let her go once. And now when fate gives him another chance, he refuses to walk away again. Protecting her should have been simple—a gesture of goodwill and an old guilt righted. But it isn’t. Every stolen glance, every quiet word stirs what he has tried to bury for years. Evelyn’s kindness draws him closer and her pain destroys his restraint. And soon, obsession replaces control. Caught between loyalty, desire and the shadows of a family that thrives on secrets, Alexander must decide how far he is willing to go for the only woman he has ever loved. Or risk losing her and himself all over again.

When danger has a name… it’s Knox Thorne. When destiny demands a mate… it chooses Harper Wallis. Harper Wallis has survived betrayal, abandonment, and a childhood spent drifting from place to place with a father who never knew how to stay. Now she’s built a life of her own—ink, art, and a fiercely guarded independence. As a wingless sphinx with unusual abilities, she’s used to being underestimated. And she likes it that way. Until Knox Thorne steps into her life. The most powerful demon in existence—and the most dangerously controlled—Knox commands empires, destroys enemies, and bows to no one. But one brush of Harper’s mind changes everything. She is his anchor. His psychic match. The one connection he can’t ignore… and refuses to lose. Harper isn’t thrilled about it. Knox is possessive, intense, and too perceptive for comfort. She doesn’t need a protector—or a male who looks at her like he wants to claim her in every way. But anchors aren’t optional, and Knox isn’t a demon who walks away from what’s his. As their worlds tangle, Harper is pulled deeper into Knox’s domain—a place of luxury, danger, secrets, and demons waiting to go rogue. But the biggest threat might be the bond forming between them… a bond that promises power, passion, and the kind of loyalty Harper stopped believing in long ago. He wants her trust. She wants her freedom. Fate wants them bound. But something lethal is stalking Harper—and Knox Thorne will burn the world before he lets his anchor fall.

Single love interest Yuri! --- After failing to ascend to the heights of Divinity despite all her preparations, an ancient cultivator finds herself not embracing the emptiness of the void - but the interior warmth of a womb. Reborn into a new life, with her memories intact - she carefully starts over from an infant. - Navigating her new family: [Really easy with only two parents and an estate full of servants!] - How to portray herself: [Everyone likes 'sweet' kids and trusts (underestimates) 'weak' girls! That should be most fun~] - Showing off the power she gathers: [This region is a 'backwater', but who knows what is out there - let's just take it slow~] - Marriage arranged before birth: [Mm... my parents adore me so at an appropriate time I'll just have it cancel- oh?] - Dealing with 'amusing' deceit: [Cute. 'He' looks worried still, but 'he' doesn't have to worry from me!] - Confronting the 'son' in private: [Whatever your family's iffy plan is, I just obtained a husband-wife~] Even in this new life, [Elua er Goltbred] can't and doesn't *want* to change who she really is at the deepest level. A scheming cultivator. A possessive lover. Neither of those things had been a real hindrance to the Peak of Demi-God. Balancing the two traits in this life - without driving away the young 'boy' she decided to support and be supported by when they both came of age - centers as much around helping [Qatrand er Yecine] find herself within who her family has made of her... As it is hoping to ease the dear fiance into how messed up the (ancient) girl honestly is. With her Astralism unchanged despite reincarnation... she can improvise plenty with her ridiculous control of Illusions and more. Which is a good thing - because plans fail and unexpected things happen when you're not *really* a genius just because you know more than others. Unexpected things... like her Physique in this life allowing the lightest 'grip' to crack stone... Despite being a little stunted by her family environment early on, [Qat] finds her future wife to be 'cute' on their first meeting... but she really shouldn't have let on and said it out loud. It made her [El] kind of vain - and kind of want to remain as cute as can be for her future spouse! - - - Oh, and *muscles*. [Elua]: I just like looking at them, okay!? Is it so weird? People can have hobbies... - - - Power System: > Types of Cultivation // Spiritual (Soul), Physical (Body), Essence (Qi) > Aspect Trinity // Astralism, Physique, Element 'Ranks' Initial - Early, Mid, Late Lower Realms // Enchanter, Primalist, Breacher Upper Realms // Defier, Demi-god, Divinity - Echelons (Rank: First -> Seventh[Peak]) - - - Other Tags: #GL #Slice of Life #Comedy #TheStrongActingWeak #ChildhoodSweethearts (It counts!) Potential trigger warnings: > A reincarnator MC that gets a little 'thirsty' a little 'young' but successfully tries to 'keep her own pants on' until the proper age, because she knows it's better for her intended partner that way. > A toxic family environment willing to force an unloved child into the role of a crossdresser. A child that grew more than okay with it. She likes wearing the aesthetics of men's suits! > 'Pretty Good Dad' intentionally *picked on* by his 'sweet daughter', all for being a relatively 'minor obstacle'. Seriously, you were warned, average fathers with teenagers. Do not engage your trauma.
