Brianna Cordova was thrown in jail after poisoning her half younger brother. She was stripped of all her inheritance and rights in her family’s legacies, even though she was the legitimate heiress. Instead of bathing in dollars and gold bars, she bathed in the shower area of an Isolation Cell in the country’s most infamous penitentiary. There comes Bianca Acosta – a lowlife of all lowlifes. She was serving a lifetime sentence for multiple crimes; torture, illegal drug trade, severe fraud and financial crimes, aggravated property damage, arson, burglary, theft, robbery, and falsifying national documents. Bianca was betrayed by her gang members and sold off to the police, thus, she was serving her sentence and diligently visiting the prison chapel to pray for the death of all her former comrades. It happened one fateful day when it was raining hard. After finishing her cleaning duty, she went back without an umbrella, but was mesmerized at the rare phenomena unfolding before her eyes. A solar eclipse, despite the absurdity of the situation, but what Briana found the most unbelievable was how stupid she was, staring at the solar eclipse directly.

They say to let a ghost rest in peace, one must fulfill its dying wish. But how will Brianna, a pea-brained timid, and cowardly woman exact revenge against an infamous syndicate that killed Bianca?

The once renowned Seoul Philharmonic Symphony is in distress and losing musicians before Seo Jaemin, an unknown beta conductor with a murky past, steps in to help them rebuild their glory together with his career in the cutthroat, alpha-dominated world of classical music. As First Chair, the commanding alpha Kang Do-hyun resists the new leadership, refusing to submit to a beta, although he notices himself being drawn to Jaemin, a pull he can’t explain. But Jaemin is hiding a secret that would shatter his fragile professional facade: he's not a beta at all, but an omega, whose scent is now a painful echo of a failed bond—a betrayal that haunts his every move. When Do-hyun discovers Jaemin’s true nature, his unexplained attraction spirals into a fierce, protective obsession. Consumed by an alpha's fury for the one who broke Jaemin, Do-hyun must decide if he can truly save the omega he’s dying to claim. ----- [Excerpt] Jaemin’s hair was a mess of soft, dark honey curls, his clothes from the concert rumpled and clinging to his slender frame. Do-hyun hadn’t dared to undress him. After the omega had fallen asleep, the floral scent had flared, unleashed from the tight grip Jaemin kept on it when he was conscious. Barely a minute later, Do-hyun had to rally every ounce of self-control from within to extract himself from the bed and stumble out of the room, before his alpha instincts could take over and greedily claim everything that was being offered freely to him. Now, Jaemin stood swaying slightly in front of him, his amber eyes half-lidded, a hazy, dreamy glaze coating them like a thin film. His cheeks were flushed a soft rose, and his mouth, a little open, seemed to be waiting for something. "Jaemin," Do-hyun managed, his voice thick and low. "Are you okay? Do you need something? You can't be walking around like this." Jaemin didn't seem to hear him. He took another step forward, and his scent slammed into Do-hyun’s senses, shredding through his safety shield of medicated eucalyptus—the intoxicating cherry blossoms, now so strong they stung his eyes. Lifting a hand to Do-hyun’s chest, Jaemin looked up at him, head tilted, hazy eyes searching Do-hyun’s face as if looking for something in the depths of his soul. Then he spoke, the single word a soft, breathless whisper: "Alpha."

Her life shatters one rain-slicked night when she witnesses a brutal execution—and captures the attention of the killer himself. Kael Valenti isn't just a man; he is an institution. A billionaire CEO by day and a ruthless Mafia King by night, he is used to owning everything he sees. And after one look at the woman with fire in her eyes, he decides to own her, too. His offer is a devil's bargain: become his bound fiancée for one year, playing the part of his perfect, obedient obsession, or lose everything—her home, her safety, and her life. Drawn into a gilded cage of unimaginable luxury and terrifying violence, Elara is both repelled and intoxicated by the man who controls her world. His touch is a brand, his protection a prison. But his obsession with her is more than just possessiveness; it's a desperate, furious need to keep her close. For Elara is the key to a secret that could burn his empire to the ground. The forgotten tragedy of her childhood is inextricably linked to the war that forged him, and a conspiracy run by a shadowy global dynasty known as The Foundation. They have been searching for her for years, and Kael didn't just find her—he stole their most valuable asset. As a bloody war erupts, Elara must transform from a captive pawn into a cunning queen. She must navigate a web of lies, betrayal, and a love so dark it feels like damnation. To survive, she must unlock the terrifying truth buried in her own blood: a genetic secret codenamed Project Phoenix that makes her the most dangerous weapon in the world. In a game where the stakes are global domination, Elara and Kael must decide if their love, forged in lies and tempered in blood, is their greatest weakness—or the one force powerful enough to shatter the world order and build a new empire from the ashes. Will she remain the Mafia King's captive, or will she become the ruthless queen who rules at his side?

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.

Ashley Summers had always been a fighter, forced to grow up at 15 when tragedy wiped out her family, leaving her to care for her 12-year-old sister—the only family she had left. Her life revolved around keeping her sister safe. But when one reckless act by Alex Black, the younger brother of the powerful billionaire Xavier Black, rips her sister away from her, Ashley is left devastated and vowing revenge. Storming into Xavier’s office, her fury knows no bounds. "Just because of your brother's mistake, my sister is not with me, Mr. Black!" Ashley shouts, her voice shaking with rage. Xavier, cold and unbothered, replies with a bored tone, "Speak low, Miss Summers. I’ll pay for his mistake, but don’t shout. We both know why you’re here. I’m offering you money, so stop barking." Ashley’s eyes burn with disbelief. "You’ll pay me? Hell will freeze before I take your money! She was my only family, and you’re trying to make a deal with me for her life? My sister isn’t a business transaction, Mr. Black. But of course, your brother is your brother, and my sister is just collateral to you." But Xavier’s smirk only deepens. "Listen, Miss Summers, we both know if you try to take this anywhere, I can make my brother innocent in seconds. Take the money, or leave empty-handed." Ashley’s voice trembles, not with fear, but with resolve. "I know I can’t touch your brother right now, but I swear, Mr. Black, I will make him pay for what he did to my sister. And you’ll watch it happen with your own eyes." With that, Ashley storms out, her desperation to seek justice and reclaim her sister pushing her to defy all odds—even if it means going against one of the most powerful men in the city. Will Ashley’s determination to bring Alex to justice break through Xavier’s impenetrable walls? Or will her fight for her sister’s memory ignite something in Xavier that even he cannot control?

The Moon Goddess made a mistake— or maybe this was a curse just like everyone says it is. But I always knew deep down that I was never meant to be theirs. They belonged to her. To my twin sister, Chalice, who was sweet. Perfect. Worshipped by the entire pack… and pure venom behind closed doors. The three brothers— Zevran, Kael, and Caelum— hate me with a fire that burns hotter than the bond tying us together. And I know because I see it in their eyes… I feel it in the way their burning touch lingers a second too long. They despise me. Just like everyone else does. But they want me. And no matter how much I try to stay away, the mate bond keeps dragging me back into their world of heat, power, hatred and danger. Maybe, I should leave… I know. But fate plays a cruel game. And as truths unravel and secrets come to light, the triplets— the ones who once despised me— now see me for who I am. Now, they want me— unabashedly. But by the time they realize this, it is a little too late. I’ve been broken by them a little too much. And I am done being anyone’s pawn. ~*~ “We want you, Leilani… we always have. Always would. Please take this as our way of saying sorry. For everything, for not believing you… for letting our judgements be clouded by…” Caelum said softly, his voice trailing off, his breath warm and ticklish against my fingers that he brought up to his lips as his other hand found the warm spot between my thighs. My eyes snagged on his full lips— pink and inviting; But they’d been kissed by another. And I don’t do leftovers. I sighed exasperatedly, shaking my head to rid myself of this pitiful sight and clenching my legs together to force his hands out. He didn’t budge. “No.” I said sharply, my voice coming out stronger than I expected especially with their bodies pressed against mine, and their lips creating sparks across my body. “I’m done. Go back to Chalice… she suits you more than I ever did.” Kael’s voice vibrated through my body as he pressed himself flush against me. His brothers Caelum and Zevran leaned in too, their lips on the shell of my ears, one’s fingers grazing over my taut nipple. “I’ll burn the world, Leilani,” he growled, his voice deep. Threatening. “I’ll burn the entire world, if that’s what it takes to win you back.” “Then I'd like to see you after the world’s been successfully burnt down. Maybe then we’ll have this conversation.” I answered, and with that, I pushed their hands away and leapt off the cupboard. And as I walked out of the kitchen, I felt their eyes drilling holes into my back, hotter than a thousand lasers all at once. But I didn’t falter. I didn’t turn around. I was the monster they’d made.

Blood splattered across the floor, warm on his skin, yet his deep laughter filled the room. His fingers were covered in bloodstains, adrenaline coursing through his veins as he brought the rose to his nose, closing his eye as he deeply inhaled, as if trying to draw every essence of her "Vanilla&Roses". "Oh, my sweetheart", he whispered, voice coated in something sinful."My love, My Madness'' His lashes fluttered as he drew in another breath. "You haunt me, Ella. In my veins. In my sleep.

Milicent. A vibrant and intelligent heiress, eagerly preparing for her wedding to the ambitious Billionaire CEO, Pascal Washington. Unknowingly to her, their wedding day is not the most important date on Pascal's calendar; it directly clashes with the signing of a multi-million dollar contract that will cement his corporate empire. Seeing Milicent as a mere part of his portfolio and the wedding as a distracting formality, Pascal devises a coldly logical yet monstrous solution. He hires Locas, the notoriously efficient and emotionally detached enforcer of a powerful syndicate, to "abduct" Milicent. The job is simple: keep her safely hidden for exactly 48 hours until both the wedding date and the contract signing have passed. Pascal expects a terrified, compliant Milicent to return, grateful for her "rescue," and none the wiser. What was supposed to be a two-day holding period becomes a transformative experience. A genuine connection sparks between captor and captive, blurring the lines of their arrangement. Locas cannot simply return her. He confesses the entire scheme to Milicent, not to frighten her, but to free her from Pascal's deception.

Now, Milicent holds the power. Disgusted by Pascal's cowardice and manipulation, and touched by Locas's brutal honesty and unexpected loyalty, she must make an impossible choice: either the life of luxury she was promised and return to the safety of a gilded lie, or embrace the dangerous, unpredictable future with the all-consuming love of the devil himself.

Elena, with her warmth and quiet resilience, begins to thaw his icy resolve. As fake smiles turn to lingering glances, and staged affection starts to feel real, both of them face a painful truth: the line between obligation and desire is fading fast. But when secrets about the contract — and Adrian’s true motives — come to light, Elena must decide whether love can bloom from lies… or if she’s once again fallen for the wrong man.

Ananya never expected death to bring her into another life. One moment, she was running her parents’ restaurant in the modern world. The next, she opened her eyes in silk robes, surrounded by hostile stares — the Queen Consort of the empire. But this body was cursed in everyone’s eyes. The Emperor loathed her. The mistress laughed at her. And the court whispered behind her back. Only she wasn’t truly alone. > “Finally, someone can see us!” “What kind of Queen Consort are you, so calm even with ghosts in your chamber?” “Shut up, Wei Rong, let her breathe. She looks like she’s about to faint.” Three ghosts — a stoic scholar, a brash general, and a mischievous noble girl — lingered at her side. They were invisible to all but her. And with them, she learned to survive the poisonous palace. When rumors spread that she was cursed, Ananya stood before the empire’s court. Instead of tears, she offered proof. Instead of fear, she offered dignity. > “If Heaven believes I am cursed, let the fire and smoke betray me. I will not hide.” And Heaven sided with her. Outside the palace, crises struck — starving soldiers, missing supplies, merchants growing fat from stolen grain. Inside, Lady Zhen, the Emperor’s favored mistress, grew bolder by the day, flaunting her beauty and mocking Ananya’s quiet grace. > “Sister, do you still dream of winning His Majesty’s heart? Look at you — plain, dull, unworthy.” “If simplicity is a crime, then let it be mine,” Ananya answered, unshaken. The Emperor indulged Lady Zhen openly… but in the silence of night, he tasted Ananya’s food, lingered at her table, and found himself unsettled by her calm. > “This is not palace fare,” he muttered. “It is lighter,” Ananya replied softly. “Easier to sleep after.” Step by step, conspiracy thickened. At a grand banquet, a poisoned cup was placed in Ananya’s hand. But a ghost’s laugh echoed in her ear — and the cup was swapped. A dancer collapsed instead. From that night on, the Emperor’s gaze changed. He began to notice the woman who never begged for favor, never fought for attention, yet always endured. Still, war brewed at the borders. Betrayals reached even the throne. Assassins crept through the palace halls. And the one person who seemed weakest became the calm at the center of the storm. Through whispered secrets, mischievous hauntings, and quiet resilience, Ananya carved her place in the empire. She would not simply survive. She would rise. And the Emperor who once despised her would one day whisper only her name.

“I should kill him.” Sofia, a vengeance-fueled assassin, infiltrates the lair of Zafrix Wolfe, the powerful Werewolf King she's sworn to destroy. But her carefully laid plans shatter when he effortlessly disarms her and a single bite unleashes a primal, undeniable bond.

“You motherfucker… don’t come back to this shop again… or else…” Customers flinched at the loud noise. The next second, someone was thrown out of the shop by the delicate but handsome-looking omega shopkeeper. The alpha hunters flinched as they watched the omega shopkeeper move back after throwing an alpha out all on his own, and they all thought the same thing—do not anger the shopkeeper and do not go after him. After all, to these low-level alpha hunters, the omega civilian shopkeeper was a celebrity. However, what these hunters did not know was the secret the omega shopkeeper hid. Not only was he a hunter, but also part of the first-generation hunters who went after the world’s first and last L-class gate, and perished. But Kyle somehow survived. And not only did he survive, but he also found himself returning 10 years after he entered the L-class gate as a dead man walking. With no money and no identity to call his own, Kyle decided to start fresh from the bottom and live a civilian life he was not able to last time. He almost succeeded, if not for the new customers of his that were trying to uncover his identity. The world had changed from the once-bleak one where hunters were feared, to one where hunters were revered as celebrities, but Kyle had no intention of stepping into the limelight. Now, if only others got the message, he would appreciate it as well. After all, he had no intention of mingling with the world of top hunters again, even if the pull tried to bring him back.
