"You only lost love," he said hoarsely. "But I lost a leg." Liesa glanced down at his medical chart, then at his perfectly intact limbs. "…Angus, it's just mild discomfort in your right leg." He stared at her in silence, then spoke with grave resolve. "If you don't love me," Angus said, " this leg can go." She rubbed her temples. "Love. I love you. Happy now?" He smiled, instantly healed. _________________________________________ World Two: Prison Kingpin and Rookie Guard "Do you like me?" he asked, casual as small talk. Liesa didn't even hesitate. "No." He nodded, "Alright. Then I'll escape tonight." "…Wait..." _________________________________________ World Three: Noble Lady and Her Devoted Attendant Liesa put a book in his hands, expression serious. "I just want you to study more," she said. "Grow up educated. Contribute to the society." The attendant hugged her waist, cheek pressed against her shoulder. "No," he said calmly. "I just want to stay with you and sleep." "..." _________________________________________ World Four: Heiress Wife and Her Husbands… Plural? Angmar Romano crossed his arms, tone cold but precise.

Liesa stared at the two identical faces in front of her. "…OMG," she muttered, "I never would've guessed this world had two Mr. Romano. And they're twins." _________________________________________ World Five: City Lord's Wife and Her Scheming Husband Angus sighed, gaze gentle, voice full of regret. "All my life, I've only wanted one thing," he said softly."To put down the blade and be a kind, harmless man." Speechless, Liesa said, "Could you put down the knife on my neck first?" _________________________________________ ...

Some stories don’t end with love. Some hearts never heal. And some people love so deeply, it becomes fatal. Ayla Wilson loved Silas Williams for twelve years. For twelve years, he never looked back. She never asked to be chosen, only to stay close. Her love was quiet, invisible, and consuming. She learned how to exist in his shadow without touching his life, how to survive on distance without hope. Until the night she ran. A wedding gown soaked in rain. A locked door. A father who sold her future without remorse. With nowhere left to go, Ayla chose the one place she never should have, Silas. But the man she returned to was no longer a distant memory. He was controlled, restrained, devastatingly silent. He let her stay. He protected her. He never promised love. A marriage formed without desire. A home built on unspoken care. A devotion that grew deeper in silence, until one loss shattered everything. And Ayla learned that "loving someone who cannot say it back can destroy you just as completely as being abandoned." Silas Williams was never cruel. That was his greatest mistake. He didn’t raise his voice. He didn’t abandon her. He didn’t betray her love. He simply believed that staying was enough. Silas protected Ayla in the only ways he knew quietly, responsibly, without asking for anything in return. He gave her shelter, stability, and a place beside him. He believed love was something proven through actions, not words. He never realized that silence can wound deeper than rejection. He never understood that for someone like Ayla, love needed to be seen, spoken, and held before it was too late. And when everything finally broke, Silas learned the cruelest truth of all: "You can do nothing wrong and still lose everything." Redemption did not come with grand gestures. It came with regret. With absence. With learning how to love someone who no longer belonged to him. Cause some realizations arrive only after love is gone. And some men spend the rest of their lives chasing the damage they never meant to cause.

It is in this frozen landscape that two lives on opposite ends of the city begin to move toward each other. Ichika Komori lives a life built on elegance and expectations. Surrounded by luxury and perfection, she is admired like a snow sculpture—beautiful, delicate, and cold to the touch. Her heart, long protected by ice, has forgotten what warmth feels like. Across the city, Rikuu Arakawa survives a world far less forgiving. Raised by hardship and night fights in back alleys, his emotions burn hot—anger, loyalty, fear, and a past that left its mark. The fire inside him keeps him alive, yet also threatens to consume him. When their paths cross, something impossible begins: Rikuu becomes the spark that melts the frost around Ichika’s guarded heart—and Ichika becomes the snow that cools the burning storms inside Rikuu. Their worlds should never have met. Yet winter has a way of changing everything. The Winter That Burned is a story of unlikely connection, slow and inevitable as falling snow, where fire learns to soften, and ice discovers how to feel again.

The Stronghold Cycle Valencia Strong was never meant to survive—much less rise. Orphaned at five, abandoned by a father she never knew, and raised in an institution that hid cruelty behind polished walls, she learned early that the world wasn’t built for girls like her. But Valencia wasn’t like anyone else. Some days she was a once‑in‑a‑generation genius; other days, she slipped into strange episodes where her brilliance vanished as quickly as it came. No one understood it. No one tried. Except the six other children who became her family long before they escaped the place that tried to break them. Tiffany. Jonathan. Wanda. Stacey. Troy. Quinton. Each one discarded. Each one dangerous in their own way. Together, they became unstoppable. After fleeing the orphanage, the seven of them built a life from nothing—hacking, coding, inventing, designing, researching, and outsmarting every system that tried to keep them small. By ten, they’d finished high school. By twelve, they’d conquered college. By sixteen, several held PhDs. And by nineteen, they had quietly constructed a multi‑industry empire known only to those powerful enough to fear it: The Stronghold Corporation. Security. Cyber intelligence. Microchips. Fashion. Scientific innovation. Investments. Every field they touched, they dominated. But Valencia—brilliant, unpredictable, and haunted by the mother she lost and the father she never knew—remains the mystery at the center of it all. The ring she wears. The necklace she never takes off. The strange episodes that strike without warning. The secrets her mother died with. And the past that refuses to stay buried. When an older couple stops her on the street—drawn to the strange heirlooms she carries—Valencia thinks nothing of it. She doesn’t know they’ve taken her picture. She doesn’t know they’ve sent it to someone who has been searching for her for nineteen years. She doesn’t know that everything she built—her family, her empire, her identity—is about to be shaken by a truth powerful enough to destroy or redefine her. As old enemies stir, hidden bloodlines awaken, and the world begins to take notice of the young geniuses who should never have existed, Valencia and her team must confront the one thing they’ve never been able to outsmart: their past. The Stronghold Cycle is a high‑octane blend of found family, cyber brilliance, mystery, and unstoppable ambition. It’s the story of seven prodigies who refuse to be victims, a girl whose mind could change the world, and the dangerous truth waiting to claim her. Fast‑paced, emotional, and electrifying, this is the beginning of a saga where power is earned, loyalty is everything, and destiny is a code waiting to be cracked.

Everyone knows J-hope for his laughter. For the way he fills rooms with light, energy, and warmth. But Jimin begins to notice the moments when the smile lingers too long - when joy feels rehearsed, and silence slips in where laughter once lived. Missed calls. Empty pauses. A presence that feels distant even when he's right there. As days pass, Jimin finds himself listening more closely - not to what is said, but to what is avoided. Because some pain doesn't ask to be seen. It hides behind routines, brightness, and the fear of becoming a burden. Beneath the Brightest Smile -- a story of quiet unraveling, emotional restraint, and the unsettling realization than the loudest people often suffer in silence - and that noticing might be the first step toward saving someone who learned how to ask for help.

Two souls, decades apart, bound by a single moment of tragedy. ​In 1999, Sunghoon had it all. A top-tier actor with a silver tongue and an ego to match, he lived for the spotlight,until New Year’s Eve, when a sudden fall from his high-rise balcony ended his reign. But instead of the "dark abyss," Sunghoon wakes up in 2025, trapped in the body of Haru, a 23-year-old struggling to survive in a world he no longer recognizes. ​Forced to navigate a digital age where fame is measured in clicks rather than talent, Sunghoon must rebuild his life from scratch as he is unexpectedly thrust back into the industry he once ruled, he discovers that the secrets of his past didn't stay buried in the nineties. He navigates the new world with the help of his friends and new found family as he relearns what love truly is. ** ​Raiven (Jae-wook), the lead idol of the world-famous group RE-draft. To the fans, he is the "Ice Prince",cold, untouchable, and perfect. Behind the scenes, he is a man drowning in the shadows of depression and a secret addiction, his heart locked away from a world he views as frivolous. ​When a chance encounter binds the displaced actor and the falling star together, their friction sparks something neither expected. As Sunghoon teaches Raiven how to truly live, Raiven might just be the one to save Sunghoon’s "wretched soul." ******* ​"I love you. All of you," Haru whispered, his forehead resting against Raiven’s. His arm remained anchored around Raiven's waist, holding him steady, pulling him close with a gentleness that suggested he was afraid even the slightest force might break the man beneath him. ​Raiven let out a shaky breath, closing his eyes as he surrendered to Haru's warm embrace. ​Haru buried his face in the crook of Raiven’s neck, his breath warm against the skin. ​"If you keep saying things like that, I might just have to pin you down and fuck you again," Raiven murmured, a small, tired smirk tugging at his lips. ​Haru let out a soft, melodic chuckle, his lips grazing Raiven’s pulse point. Raiven’s skin reacted instantly, a shiver racing through him. He held his breath, his grip on Haru tightening as he fought to savor every ounce of proximity and warmth. ​He held on as if Haru were a ghost that might dissipate at any moment. He was terrified that if he let go, this would all prove to be an illusion,that he would be left in the cold again. That Haru wouldn't be his anymore. ​He wasn't ready to give up the sight of Haru’s beauty, or the way Haru whimpered and moaned his name as he worshipped his body. He had grown to adore Haru's quirks,the old-fashioned phrases that slipped from his tongue, the way his eyes danced with a century's worth of glee and curiosity. ​But most of all, Raiven was afraid that if Haru looked just a little bit closer, he would see the truth: exactly how much he had come to mean to him. ****
