healing

After three years of marriage, when her husband's first love suddenly returned, Emma Carter was extremely shocked. Finally, she realized that all the sincere feelings she had for him over the years were now just like a river flowing away. "Emma, the Carter family has been bankrupt for a long time. Do you still think you are a noble lady? You are a weakling who can't do anything." Her mother-in-law scolded. "Emma, has my brother ever valued you? After three years of marriage, he hasn't even touched you." Her sister-in-law's voice was sarcastic. Emma was desperate; it seemed like everyone took her husband's infidelity for granted. Obviously, she did nothing wrong, but she was the one who was hurt the most. She realized that her biggest mistake was choosing to marry this heartless man. When she decided to file for divorce, he looked annoyed: “Emma, stop joking. I’ve treated you well enough.” She just coldly replied: “Daniel, aren’t you going to sign the divorce papers?” Finally, when Emma held the divorce papers from the court in her hand, she felt like she was reborn, and the atmosphere around her became fresher. She officially had a new life. “Emma, you will regret leaving me.” He angrily spat out harsh words before leaving, but Emma didn’t bother to look up. When everyone thought she would fail miserably, Alexander Knight–the famous, cold, and taciturn CEO–suddenly hugged her tightly, his voice warm and comforting: “Emma, do you have a household registration book? Let’s go register our marriage?” The entire upper class was shocked: How could Alexander Knight, a single man, marry a woman who had been married? But only Alex knew that for this chance, he had waited for her for twelve years.

“I’m done.” With those two words, top-tier Alpha Emma ended her three-year relationship with Omega perfumer Gu Liang—coldly, decisively, even after marking him during her heat. But the man she abandoned wasn’t a fragile lamb. Beneath Gu Liang’s quiet demeanor slept a lion. He built First Heart Capital from the ground up, and with ruthless precision, brought Emma and her family’s empire to its knees. To survive, Emma was forced to sign a marriage contract with the very man she once discarded. Their union wasn’t built on love—it was a battlefield. As they navigate early labor scares, business storms, and the chaos of daily life, Emma begins to see the depth of Gu Liang’s pain—and the strength he’s always carried. And Gu Liang, in turn, finds himself thawing in the face of Emma’s clumsy but sincere attempts to make amends. When hatred fades and love rekindles, they rebuild a home from the ashes. But just as peace settles in, Emma’s love reaches its most painful, most profound peak—when she learns the truth about Gu Liang’s lonely childhood. So she makes a choice: To travel back in time. Not to change their fate, but to be there for the boy she could never reach.

One year ago, winter meant airports, countdowns, and the quiet ache of letting go. This year, it means something entirely new: home. After over a year of long-distance love defined by emotional farewells and hopeful reunions, the two of them finally share the same address — a house warmed by golden light, shared blankets, and the comforting knowledge that goodbyes are over. To celebrate six months of living together, they embark on their first winter trip as a married couple: a snowy mountain getaway where the world feels quiet, soft, and safe. But as the snow falls heavier and the mountains grow colder, they discover that love isn’t only about catching someone when they fall — it’s about staying, choosing, and coming home together. Between playful skiing mishaps, tender mornings wrapped in blankets, and the memories of the winter they spent together with an expiration date, this sequel explores what happens after the fall — when the landing becomes the beginning of forever. A warm, gentle romance about finding home in the person who once felt oceans away.

They were never meant to share a life like this. She once created him. He once lived inside her story. But here — in a quiet world untouched by plot — Raylene and Zenith choose ordinary days: Morning tea. Grocery lists. Soft laughter. A child on the way. A life so gentle it feels impossible. Yet peace has seams. And sometimes, reality pauses — as if remembering who they were. Names appear in a book that doesn't exist. Moments slip. The world flickers, curious. Still they hold each other, fiercely quiet, learning how to breathe in the same world even as the old one whispers around them. Sometimes the bravest thing is to stay soft when the universe keeps trying to turn you into a story again.

When they first met, the man in the wheelchair was as dignified and cold as rumored. Just because she approached him slightly, he grabbed her neck, nearly choking her to death.

Let’s be frank: my stepmother is human trash. She has always been, and she’ll always be. That’s just how life is. But I’ve got to admit that she’s outdoing herself today. ‘Cause, darn, she’s just told me, first thing in the goddamn morning, that I’m to be wed in a few hours’ time for the prosperity of the clan. That has the merit to be crystal clear, at least. Alright, sure. Fine. I can live with an arranged marriage. It’s not the worst thing she’s done. What’s not fine, though, is my spouse’s gender, age, and species. I want to make three points clear: 1. I’m not into men. 2. I’m not into older people. 3. I’m not into other species. Guess what? It appears my future partner is everything listed above. Male, old enough to be my ancestor, and a demon! ...Is it too late to run away? Asking for a friend. ______________________________ Doesn’t-give-a-fuck-anymore human x pampering older demon [BL] ______________________________ Free of copyright picture used for the bookcover by Leonhard_Niederwimmer

ADRIAN HAYES (our ML, 18) unpacking in his dorm room at Greystone University, mentally preparing his "Year of Winning" manifesto. Flashbacks pepper the scene—stolen crayons at age 5, losing races at age 10, the basketball championship defeat three months ago where DANTE ALARIC scored the winning point. Each memory is a paper cut, death by a thousand second places. Adrian's internal monologue establishes him as witty but deeply insecure, someone who's built his entire identity around being "the guy who almost wins." He's likeable, self-deprecating, but clearly using humor as armor.
