In a city where status decides visibility, Kang Doyun exists by design in the margins. Seoul is filled with men who work hard, speak carefully, and disappear the moment they are no longer needed. Doyun is one of them. A contract worker with no name worth remembering, he survives by being reliable, discreet, and invisible. He does not chase ambition. He does not demand recognition. He understands the rules of a world that rewards those already standing above it. Then he is chosen. Not publicly. Not proudly. But quietly, and with conditions. Doyun becomes a man who is allowed close to power, yet never acknowledged by it. Useful, but replaceable. Desired, but hidden. His proximity to elite women and closed rooms does not elevate his status. It exposes how low it truly is. Every interaction is measured. Every mistake carries a cost. Every advantage comes with a leash. In a society where reputation is currency and visibility is risk, being chosen does not mean being valued. As Doyun navigates the cold geometry of Seoul’s professional elite, he is forced to confront a brutal truth: comfort can be more dangerous than failure. Remaining hidden is safer, but it will also erase him. Rising means loss, scrutiny, and standing alone when protection is withdrawn. There is no shortcut upward. No public claim. No system that hands him power. Only decisions that slowly change how the world reacts when his name is spoken. The Man They Had to Hide is a male-oriented urban psychological novel about status, restraint, and the price of being close to power without belonging to it. A slow-burn journey through elite society where success is not defined by who wants you, but by whether you can stand when they no longer hide you.

Mature (R-18+) Three years of marriage. Three years of silence, loneliness, no recognition, and now... betrayal. Elara Frost thought love meant patience, that one day her husband would finally see her emotions, her love, and her care, and choose her, cherish her as she did. But the only thing he gave her was loneliness and indifference. And thus, when his affection for his secretary shadowed her entirely, shattered her illusions, and made her realize that she was never anything to him, never more than a pawn, she walked away. Everyone who knew them thought she would fade away without him, that she wouldn't survive a day without the luxurious life her husband provided, but did they really know her, the real her? She didn't leave to disappear; she went to return as someone untouchable, someone her ex couldn't dare to provoke, and someone every man desired and every family wanted as their daughter-in-law. When her real identity was revealed, it left everyone shocked. She returned as the real heiress, with connections to the underworld. She returned as the woman everyone needed to bow to and fear, wrapped in diamonds and draped in the drapes of vengeance. After being betrayed once, Elara vowed she would never fall in love again, but the queens aren't safe from love either. She isn't left with much choice when her childhood fiancé returns from abroad, promising her the world she never had. Snippet: "I would be a fool to fall for a man again after everything that life has made me go through," Elara confessed, her expression edgy, a solemn hint crossing her eyes. "In that case, don't fall for me, Miss Elara. Instead, let me fall for you. Because I know for sure, you are worth fighting for," Daniel Macros said, his eyes holding nothing but pure obsession, something she had never experienced before. Elara thought dealing with one persistent pursuer was hard enough, but what would she do when her ex-husband knelt before the entire world, begging for her to return? Will she let the old flame of her love burn again, or will she let Daniel's calm presence sweep her off her feet? Disclaimer: The story is participating in the Viral Book Call 2025. Please support.

Years later, fate played a cruel joke.

Until the blood on the hotel floor. ​Found dying in her suite, Madison leaves behind a life of secrets and an empire on the brink of collapse.

I thought I knew Julien. But the man who pulls me against his chest at the gala isn't the gentle boy from my memories. He is a ruthless King. He is dark, possessive, and dangerous. ​"Don't leave my side again," he growled, his hand burning a brand into my waist. "I don't like chasing things that belong to me." ​He thinks he’s holding his wife. But for the first time in their marriage, the spark between them is real. I’m falling for the man who rejected me. But a killer is watching from the shadows, and Julien is beginning to notice that his wife tastes different… ​What happens when the billionaire finds out the woman in his bed isn't the one he married?

Operating under the alias Damien Smith, he knows the task won't be easy—his enemies are powerful, influential, and deeply entrenched in society's elite. But Damien is no ordinary man. Possessing unnatural strength, razor-sharp cunning, and skills that defy human limitations, he navigates the dangerous game of deception with calculated precision. His plan was quite simple: "Seduce the second daughter of the Caster family and earn their trust. Conduct the investigation from within, and maintain your false identity at all costs." What he doesn't anticipate is the complication that threatens to unravel everything—his growing feelings for someone he should only see as a means to an end. As Damien gets closer to the truth, he must decide: will he complete his mission of vengeance, or will he succumb to the one weakness he never accounted for—love? (Note: To all my readers, the romance is slow burn. 70 percent involves face slapping drama and action.)

When fate plays matchmaker, even running won’t save you. I’m Alexander Christopher Ethan: Ace the Great if you ask me and I’ve mastered two things in life: disappointing my father and dodging responsibility like it’s an Olympic sport. Seven years ago, a car crash stole my mom and almost took me with her. Dad shipped me abroad to “recover,” and I did… by partying, flirting, and pretending adulthood was someone else’s problem. Then one phone call ruins everything: “Come home.” My welcome-back surprise? An arranged engagement. To a man. A CEO Dad personally handpicked without bothering to ask me. I laugh. I argue. I throw the man’s photo into the fireplace without even looking—and I run. Biggest. Mistake. Ever. Dad’s men chase me through the city until I end up bleeding in an alley with a shattered leg. I’m sure this is how I die. Then he appears. A stranger who fights like an avenging angel and looks at me like I’m worth saving. Maybe it’s the blood loss, maybe it's destiny, but I kiss him, right there in the middle of the chaos. When everything settles, I lie: Lost phone. No home. No idea where to go. He believes me and offers one night. I take it. Then I take another… and another… until one night becomes a week and I’m stupidly, recklessly falling for him. His name is Gabriel. No family. No past.

They drag me home to face my arranged fiancé.....the man I’ve been running from. It’s him. Gabriel. My angel. My lover. The self-made CEO who climbed from orphan to the head of my family’s empire.

The spoiled heir he was promised, and the runaway he fell for… are the same person. We were both running from this engagement… straight into each other’s arms. I thought I could outrun destiny. All I did was fall in love with it. Now we’re standing in the wreckage of lies, heartbreak, and second chances, and I have only one question: Was this fate… or the universe’s cruelest joke?

“You are not my princess—but you are my destiny.” When Liliana, a common-born herbalist, is forced onto the royal marriage bed, she wants only one answer: Why does her blood glow upon an ancient parchment—and why must she wed the tyrant king rumored to turn into a wolf beneath the full moon? Arthas Wolfgang, the “Cursed King” of the Seven Northern Realms, needs the Silver Moon bloodline to suppress the lycanthropic curse gnawing at his very bones. And Liliana—the girl who bears an uncanny resemblance to the vanished princess—is his only hope. A marriage of necessity. A curse sealed in blood. On their wedding night, he slices open their palms: “From this moment on, your life is bound to mine. If I die, you die.” She counters, “And if I run?” He smiles, locking silver manacles around her wrists: “Then try, my dear. Every wall of this castle obeys me. Every shadow is my eye.” But she is no obedient lamb. When a silver arrow flies toward her heart, he shields her with his body, blood staining his ceremonial robes. “Now do you understand?” he whispers. “In this golden prison, only I decide how you live—or how you die.” And when the full moon drives him into savage madness, only her voice can pull him back from the abyss. He kneels before her, golden beast-eyes reflecting her face: “Who are you… really?” Secrets coil around the truth like thorns: • Why did her mother’s humble herb shop conceal a royal bloodline chart? • Why did the true princess vanish sixteen years ago without a trace? • Why do whispers in the dark murmur,“She won’t survive the next full moon”? More dangerous still is the slow loss of control over the heart. He teaches her swordplay—yet guides her blade from behind, breath burning against her ear: “Like this, my queen.” She studies court etiquette—he corrects every movement, fingers brushing her waist: “No… wrong. Tonight, my study. Private lessons.” When assassination becomes routine, and sweet words may be deadlier than poison, Liliana realizes the greatest threat is not palace intrigue, but her own heart, traitorously beating for him. And Arthas faces a crueler choice still: Bind her forever with the contract—or set her free, even if it means sinking alone into the curse’s eternal darkness. “Choose me,” he growls on a full-moon night, pinning her to the wall, fangs grazing her throat. “Even if you are poison—I will drink you willingly.” The Silver Moon will rise. The Wolf King is destined to fall. This is a war waged in the name of love—where they are each other’s shield, and each other’s sharpest blade.
