[Pure historical • Genius scholar & mute-to-miracle bride • Farming fluff • HE] Five taels of silver—that’s all Wen Wan’s stepmother needs to sell her to a crippled widower. She refuses. Armed with a twig and a fearless smile, Wen Wan corners the village’s unluckiest scholar among the sorghum and writes in the dirt: Marry me. I’ll turn your fate. Song Sanlang reads the line, looks at the girl, and says one quiet word: “Yes.” From that moment, luck flips. Barren fields grow gold, debts vanish, and the mute bride slowly finds her voice—first in whispers, then in laughter, and finally in the cries of their first child. A timeless rural romance where a bargain marriage becomes a fortune, and the softest voice reshapes an entire village’s destiny.

Three years ago, a man with no past arrived in Hado-gae. Seo Ji-won speaks little of himself, but his hands speak volumes. They prepare meals that taste like memories, they steady fishing boats in rough tides, and they have never once reached for anyone since he arrived. The villagers don't ask questions. They simply adore him, feed him, and let him be. Today, a woman with a broken future returns. Choi Ha-neul fled this coastal village fifteen years ago, chasing city dreams. Now those dreams have collapsed, and she's back—broke, embarrassed, and determined to rebuild. She opens a convenience store next to a quiet restaurant run by a man who makes her heart race and her curiosity burn. Their shops sit side by side. Their pasts sit like walls between them. He watches her struggle with modern failures while carrying ancient secrets. She watches him move through life like a man who has already lived several. Neither asks. Neither tells. But in a village where everyone knows everyone, two mysteries sharing a wall might be the most interesting thing that's ever happened to Hado-gae. And the sea? The sea remembers everything. It just doesn't tell.

"If I can just stay under the radar, I might survive the final chapter." Kim Jowoon woke up in a novel world as the illegitimate fourth son of a marquis, Julian Von Astrea, and it looked like every single character hated him. It was a world where everyone looked like a protagonist—shining eyes, tragic backstories, destiny practically dripping off them. Everyone except him. He didn't even get a script. Then the Affection System popped up and crushed his hopes in one clean line of text: every so-called “hero” in the capital had a solid 0% interest in his continued existence. Naturally, Julian did the most reasonable thing possible—he ran. Straight into the safest job he could think of: tutoring the young son of the Empire's most reclusive (and famously cold) Duke. The plan was foolproof. Win over the kid, stay invisible, collect a fat paycheck, and live long enough to die of old age instead of plot relevance. It didn't go smoothly at first. The child barely spoke, the Duke barely appeared, and Julian briefly wondered if he'd chosen the wrong kind of death. But somehow… it worked. The Duke's son slowly warmed up to him. Lessons became warm conversations, and silence turned into trust. And even stranger, the Duke's affection level didn't just rise—it skyrocketed into something Julian absolutely had not planned for. For the first time since transmigrating, he felt safe. Then the Empire started falling apart. A masked criminal began tearing through the capital, and Julian started waking up with missing memories and an unsettling sense of déjà vu. No wounds. No explanations. Just the feeling that something had happened—and that he was better off not remembering it. He had thought he was the one being hunted. But the higher the Duke's affection climbed, the more frequent the blackouts became, and the more a terrifying possibility took shape. He came here to survive the story. Now, he was starting to suspect the Duke wasn't protecting him from the plot at all… He was protecting the plot from him.

Julie Marie Navares seemed to be a typical young woman. Her father wished her to go to the same school as her brother, Christian Navares, which is why she moved. She thought school would be quiet because she thought her secret—her hidden talent for singing and her alter ego on stage as the POP PRINCESS—would stay with her family. But what would happen if Mark Cielo Villanueva, a friend from childhood who she hated, found out? They had just met again. Could she still keep her secret and her peace?

Born into wealth but raised without love, Mariah Ashford has always been nothing more than a tool in her parents’ hands. Obedient. Silent. Replaceable. To save their collapsing company, they trade her away like a business contract—forcing her into a loveless marriage with Tony Wright, the arrogant heir of the richest family in the country. To him, she isn’t a wife. She’s a transaction. Humiliated, neglected, and forced to watch her husband flaunt his mistress in their home every night, Mariah endures it all, believing that if she tries hard enough, someone might finally choose her. But the night she’s pushed down the stairs and thrown out like trash. Something inside her breaks. Alone, injured, and abandoned, she collapses outside a hospital—only to be saved by a stranger. A quiet, dangerously handsome man with unreadable eyes. Asher Cross. A name whispered in the business world. A man more powerful than the Wrights. Richer. Untouchable. And for reasons she doesn’t understand, he refuses to let her go. For the first time in her life, Mariah is treated with warmth. With respect. With care. And when Asher discovers her hidden talent for fashion design, he does something no one has ever done before— He believes in her. With his silent protection and her own rising strength, Mariah begins to rebuild her life and her dreams. A new name. A new identity. A fashion empire of her own. But when her grand brand launch shakes the entire country and the elites receive an exclusive invitation… Her ex-husband. His mistress. And the parents who sold her. They all attend. Not knowing the woman they once discarded. Is now the queen standing above them all. This time? They’ll be the ones begging. And Mariah will never be anyone’s pawn again.

"I beg your pardon. I should not have come. I did not mean to be a bother.” He stepped aside, extending a subtle invite. “But that is the problem. I find myself wanting you to.” Her breath caught. “Mr Brand…” “Come, Madelyn,” he mumbled. “Come in.” Hesitantly, she obeyed. He closed the door firmly. Commanding the high seas as he had always, Brand amasses his wealth focused on business and his fealty to the king, with his thoughts of women remaining the same: they are not worth the trouble and time they are awarded. No woman is allowed to bother him. None, until Madelyn. Madelyn wishes to live above the thoughts of her late husband's family and to do that, she must escape their good pleasure and find a life for herself, the farther the better. Brand's crew offers the opportunity to do so, and she would without any man commanding her ever. But what must she do when Brand's command is the very one she now wishes for?

[A Year of Grace- Book 1] Nyxara When I woke up cold, leaning against a tree in the woods, I wondered if there were a few details I wasn't told by the angel who sent me here. It wasn’t long before the brothers I had lost in my past life found me—right as I was trying to find my way out of the woods. They brought me home to the parents who weren’t dead. Since I didn’t get this world’s Nyxara’s memories, I’m claiming amnesia due to trauma. When I was given the choice between redoing my own life or being sent to an alternate universe, I chose the second option. I didn’t want to deal with the shattered remains of my past. What I wasn’t told? While this is a very different life, some people from my old world are still making my life hell in this one. And now, they might have fangs, mind powers, or claws. I’m not the me in my last life, and I’m not the me of this life. So… who am I? On that note, what in the world is an alpha, beta, or omega? Looks like I have a lot to learn—and fast—if I want to graduate from the Sentinels of Accord Academy, let alone survive in a world filled with supernatural beings. It's a new exciting world just waiting for me to claim my place in it. Top 3 in the end of year competitions looks like a good start. This year is going to be amazing. (The romance is slow-burn. 5 mates in total. The romance doesn't really start in this book. All mates are introduced though.) [Daily Chapter Release and Free until completion]

Julia Hale is a beastwoman of unsettling beauty, an emergency room nurse in a large, unforgiving city, and the mother of young twins still too innocent to grasp the cost of silence. Behind her clinical composure and carefully ordered routine, Julia carries the scars of years of domestic violence, relentless humiliation, and a past that has never truly loosened its grip. Separated from Theo Desmond, her charismatic and predatory ex-husband, Julia struggles to build a stable life. She works. She raises her children. She manages her body, her desire, her exhaustion. On the surface, she is moving forward. In reality, she is still surviving. Her trauma does not erupt in screams but in interrupted gestures, intrusive memories, conflicted desire. She is in love with a woman—Stella Vance—a one-sided, silent love never spoken aloud. This attachment becomes a mirror, reflecting both what Julia longs for and what she still cannot claim. Under the Skin of a Beastwoman is neither a revenge story nor a tale of miraculous healing. It is a fragmented, intimate chronicle of a woman learning—slowly, imperfectly—to detach herself from a life built on fear, while trying to offer her children a future she was never given. An R18 urban narrative, visceral and deeply personal, where the body, desire, and memory become battlegrounds for survival and reclamation.

He doesn’t know why this was happening. His body and mind are clashing again, like they always do whenever they do this. “I am not some weak omega who is going to present to you simply because you were once mated to me. I am not going to submit to you. You are not my alpha.” Gods, how he wishes he could give in just this once. He can already feel the slick trickling down his thighs. Soiling his jeans.

He is now enrolled in university, a whole new life away from his cage, finally growing up and discovering who he is. Then crosses paths with Travis. The alpha who makes him feel like he is being born and dying all at the same time. A thread is pulled every time he locks eyes with him, talks with him ... feels him near him. Every time his scent wraps his body like the softest cloud. With each tug, the life that has been carefully woven and fed to him starts to fall apart. Day realizes he isn’t who he has been told he is, and he was someone different once. Something else, but it was all taken away. Travis was taken away, too.

The capital has already decided: The Warlord Mansion is doomed. Its once-prodigious heir was destroyed after her near-death incident. Now she spends her days tending flowers, lingering in the kitchen, and teasing an “ordinary” beast in the marketplace. How tragic. How embarrassing. How laughable. The nobles sip their tea and wait for the General’s household to crumble. But only the people inside the Warlord Mansion know the truth. They know why the General no longer worries. They know why Madam Jiang only smiles when others whisper. They know why certain “ordinary beasts” lower their heads in her presence. Ruined? Please. Their Eldest Miss is a once-in-a-generation genius. She’s just… a little strange. A little unpredictable. And admittedly, a little lazy. Let the capital mock. When the storm arrives, they will understand— The Warlord Mansion was never raising a tragedy. It was simply letting its genius bloom at her own pace.
