Vedia Aquila cleans up after the dead. At twenty years old, the wolf Beastkin supports her teenage brother by scrubbing blood from crime scenes and bleach from eviction sites. It's brutal work in the Bowery—the city's forgotten district where the poor are erased as efficiently as the stains Vedia removes. Then a strange job changes everything. Salt circles under sinks. Voices in empty closets. Apartments that feel wrong. Vedia discovers she has the Gift—the ability to cleanse hauntings, to make ghosts disappear. The Property Board takes notice. They offer her real money. Exclusive contracts. A way out of poverty. But every cleansing takes a piece of her. Black veins spread across her skin. Memories fade. And the victims she erases beg her not to. Too late, Vedia realizes the truth: she's not removing crimes. She's erasing people from existence itself. The Bowery isn't just a neighborhood—it's alive, ancient, and hungry. It feeds on absence. On the forgotten. On the displaced. And it's been cultivating Vedia since birth to become its next heart. Her mother died doing this work. Now Vedia has weeks before the transformation completes. She can accept her fate and protect her brother. Refuse and watch him suffer. Or fight an ancient god she cannot possibly defeat. Hope is a luxury the dispossessed cannot afford. A grimdark urban fantasy about class, erasure, and the cost of survival in a city that devours its own.

To claim the crown, Aurelia must win the heart of the man who has never been hers—before the equinox steals everything.

(This is a love story disguised with abuse!) "Mia Lowder is just a waste!" "Mia Lowder is too vicious, she framed her sister and even hit her own mother." "A person like her should just get out of Falwood." At a banquet, everyone surrounded Mia Lowder, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and cursed her. Suddenly, the cold and ruthless Mr. Grant appeared, protecting her in his arms, "She is my wife, damn it! Anyone who dares to touch her, try it!" Four years ago, she became crippled because of him and left Falwood in despair. Four years later, she insists on marrying him. Everyone was waiting for Benjamin Grant to abandon her again, but no one knew that Mr. Grant had set a trap for a full four years, just so she could return to his side. Soon after, he spoiled Mia Lowder to the extreme, to the point of obsession. Only then did the people of Falwood realize that Mr. Grant was unwell, and pampered his wife recklessly!

He was an extremely wealthy CEO. His hobbies were clinging to his wife and pampering her to the extreme. One day, the bodyguard reported, "Sir, Madam went to chase her ex-fiancé!" "Sir, Madam confessed her love for her ex-fiancé on a global livestream!" "Change the photos and names to mine!" "Sir, Madam went to the hospital to have an abortion!" The incredibly handsome and wealthy man couldn't contain his anger. "Bring Madam back to me, and take good care of her! No, stop! I'm going to get her myself!" After marriage, Su Fu glared at her possessive husband. "Let's divorce; this life is unbearable!" Shangguan Ling smirked. "So what if it's unbearable? Whoever leaves, loses! I'll give you the property, our child, and myself! Wherever you go, I'll go too!"

She always knew there was a woman hidden in his heart, so when that woman appeared, she obediently withdrew. However, unexpectedly, he abandoned his 'beloved' and instead frequently invited her. "Mr. Fu, didn't you say there was a contract to discuss?" He pressed her against the cold wall, continuously approaching: "If you were a bit uglier, perhaps I would want to talk contracts and drink tea with you, but you're so beautiful, I only want to talk love with you." To him, Qiao Mo was like his most cherished treasure, and whenever others looked at her, he felt they were trying to steal her.

New story "99 Pursuits: Young Master Ning, Can't Stop Pampering" has been released, absolutely sweet and indulgent! Rumor has it that a certain CEO is not fond of women, yet his five-year-old son keeps clamoring for a mommy, while all the women who come forward get repeatedly rejected. "The legs are too thick, the chest is too small, the waist not slim enough!" the cute child shakes his head in disapproval. The women lament: Is he looking for a mommy or a wife?! The man nods in satisfaction: As expected of his son, warding off many unsuitable romances. Until one day, the cute child brings a beauty to him and says: I've taken a liking to this woman! If you don't marry her, I will! The man sneers coldly, thinking this woman is audacious, trying to deceive his son to marry into a wealthy family? Fine! The man straightforwardly throws a check and contract in the woman's face: Be my woman! Le Tong is dumbfounded, then outraged, packs up her things, and runs away, not forgetting to hand in her resignation letter. "CEO, the service that night was not bad, this is your tip!" Ji Rui looks at the penny in front of him, his face dark with anger: Chase after her!

Seraphine Aldric was seven when her parents told her: "Your brother Theron will always protect you." And he did. Too well. Too much. Too obsessively. For twenty years, she never questioned why boys who showed interest disappeared. Why her brother's eyes followed her like a predator tracking prey. Why his touch lingered too long, burned too hot for something innocent. Until the day she discovered the truth: every man who ever wanted her was destroyed by Theron's hand. He didn't see her as a sister. He saw her as his birthright—property that came with the Aldric empire. She ran. Two years in London, building a life beyond his suffocating shadow. Two years of freedom. Then her parents summoned her home for an emergency. A girl is sobbing in their marble foyer. DNA tests scattered across mahogany tables. The impossible truth: Seraphine isn't an Aldric. She's the daughter of a hospital nurse, swapped at birth with the real heiress. She should be thrown out. Disowned. Finally free of the brother whose love feels like chains. Instead, Theron corners her in the hallway, storm-blue eyes blazing with something between relief and hunger. "Do you know how long I've waited for this?" His hand cups her face—no longer forbidden, no longer wrong by blood. "You're not my sister, Seraphine. You never were. And now there's nothing stopping me from making you mine." The real heiress wants her life back. Theron wants her in his bed. And Seraphine must decide: fight for the family that raised her but never truly loved her, or surrender to the man who's been obsessed with her since childhood—the only person who ever made her feel like she belonged, even if that belonging feels like captivity. Some loves are forbidden. Others are dangerous. Theirs is both.

Brielle Saintclair was raised to be perfect. The jewel of the SaintClair dynasty. The beloved princess of four powerful families bound by blood and business. Her entire life pointed toward one destiny: marry one of her three childhood best friends and unite their empires forever. She loved them—Thane, Cassian, Dorian. Her protectors. Her confidants. The men who made her laugh, held her when she cried, promised she'd always be theirs. Until the night before her 25th birthday gala, when she overheard the truth hidden behind garden hedges: "Marry her? I'd rather hand my empire to strangers." "She's not the one I want. She could never be." "I'd rather die than be trapped with someone I've never even desired." Three voices. Three rejections. Three shattering revelations that the love she felt was completely one-sided. Heartbroken and humiliated, Brielle does the only thing that makes sense—she vanishes. New name. New country. New life where no one knows she's the SaintClair heiress who ran from her own engagement party. But what she doesn't know is that each man said those words to hide his true feelings. Each believed he was protecting her from obligation. Each thought the others didn't want her. And each is desperately, violently in love with her. When they discover she's gone, three ruthless heirs tear the world apart searching. When they find her transformed—powerful, cold, looking at them like strangers—they realize the devastating truth: their lies didn't protect her. They destroyed her. Now begins the real battle. Three men competing to prove their love is real. One woman who refuses to be anyone's consolation prize. And a revenge plot that will burn their families' empires to ash. She ran from their rejection. Now they'll crawl through hell to earn her back.

An unexpected event led her to become pregnant, and after the child was born, he actually sent someone to take her son away. At the top of the cliff, the car was destroyed, and lives were lost. Years later, she returned from abroad, looked at the man before her, and said coldly, "Mr. Mu, even if you offer your entire company, I won't do business with you."

I’m your average girl—well, *was*—who spends most of her days buried in CEO romance novels. Yeah, I know, *so cliche*, right? But hey, we all have our guilty pleasures. So, what about work, you ask? Well, my job made it easy to read the day away as long as I got my tasks done by the end of the day. Sounds perfect, right? Simple, right? Well, that's because I was a librarian. *Past tense.* Why? Because some arrogant, narcissistic jerk gets me fired. Why? Apparently, I didn’t notice him walking up to the counter because I was too busy getting lost in my latest book. Now, you’d think any *normal* person would just tap me on the shoulder and say, “Excuse me.” But no, this guy *decides* to get me fired. Rude? Oh, you bet. But that’s not even the worst part. Oh, no. The real problem started when I decided to get my revenge. That’s when I got tangled up with him… in more ways than one. Now, not only am I working for this narcissistic jerk, but I’m doing it undercover. Why? Because apparently, he has an issue with women working for him... especially when things get *too close* in the sheets. (Yeah, you *get* where this is going.) So, I’m pretending to be a man. Why? Because I need the job. It’s high-paying, and it’s my ticket out of my miserable, *pathetic* life. I mean, revenge is great and all, but I’ve got bills to pay. Money’s my new love, and there’s no way I’m letting some petty rivalry get in the way of it. The tricky part? Balancing my need for cash with the fear of being exposed. I’ve got two huge secrets: one, I’m the woman who shared the sheets with him. And two? I’m a woman, disguised as a man, and praying every day that my cover doesn’t blow. One wrong move, and my entire life—my job, my reputation, my *revenge*—could come crashing down. So, yeah, no pressure. But hey, what’s life without a little drama, right? Right."

Robert leaned in, his voice a dark hiss: "Commodities don't need to like their masters, Julie... It’s enough that I took a liking to you and bought you, sweetheart." ______________ Julie stomped the floor with her foot, and agitation was clear in the tone of her voice, which rose slightly as she pointed at my face: "You ran your thumb over your lip! You're hinting to me... hinting that I kissed you!" My composure didn't budge; instead, I tilted my head to the side and looked at her with a gaze shrouded in mischief, then said with utter simplicity: "And what is the problem with that? It was just a kiss." -------------------- She waved her hand with bitter irony: "Are you the one who's going to protect me from him?" I nodded, confirming: "Yes."

A blindfolded woman. A captor who speaks calmly to the camera. And a video the whole world can’t stop watching. Late one night, a disturbing clip goes viral—showing a young woman tied up, her captor’s voice echoing in the dark. While the internet debates whether it’s real, her boyfriend reports her missing. The victim is Mitra, a software engineer and small-time social activist… and the key witness in an unresolved kidnapping from two weeks earlier. Trapped and threatened, Mitra refuses to break. Instead, she engages her captor—who calls himself Sashi—in a dangerous psychological battle of truth and lies, probing into his secrets as he digs into hers. As Vishal races against time to find her, Sashi releases more videos to the public. Each one is a twisted interrogation. Each one paints Mitra not as a simple victim—but as a guilty person with a hidden past. The clues lead back twelve years, to a quiet town, a brutal murder, and a past neither Mitra nor Vishal ever escaped. This is not just the story of a kidnapping. It is the unraveling of a chain of murders spanning more than a decade—and an obsession that was waiting to be exposed. When the truth finally surfaces, who will be left standing?

A witch without faith. A war without heroes. This is not the Dragon Age you remember. The main character of the work is Morrigan. The one... The overbearing, intelligent, sarcastic and not-so-mysterious companion of the protagonist of Dragon Age: Origins. In contrast to the original, the entire focus of the story shifts to this amazing daughter of Flemette. By fate, as in the canon, the witch leaves Korkari. But it is not only the threat of Blight that drives her on her difficult adventures, relentlessly flooding the south of Ferelden with darkness and death. The attack... And the personal entanglements the Sorceress finds herself in force her to become more active. In the name of survival, she transforms from follower to leader. From now on, the girl no longer chooses who to stay with, but who is trustworthy, or at least curious enough to stay. Others will lose the support of the reluctant southerner. Ambition, growing amidst the gathering darkness of madness and the flames of civil war, will determine where the new path will take her. A tangle of wit, magic and contingency knows no bounds. The narrative is based on a classic Dragon Age episode, centred on a desperate band of disparate individuals facing the threat of the Fifth Dawn. There are changes of varying degrees to the series of events that have already occurred and future events that are inherent to the canon. Some are on the surface. Others are less visible. Who is the saviour here? And is there one at all? What if the familiar characters had a slightly different, more down-to-earth motivation? Or if a series of miraculous rescues didn't happen? Characters with a prominent role in the canon might be left behind, die or suffer unforeseen consequences. I invite the reader to the fire, to experience this small but hopefully fascinating experiment together.
