heartthrob

Two years ago, Zay Niall Earl did the only thing he could to save his own heart: he packed his bags and ghosted his unrequited crush. After twenty-four months of healing abroad, Zay is finally back in his hometown. He is older, wiser, and ready to conquer his freshman year of Veterinary Medicine. He has a beautiful new condo, a chaotic new best friend named Pai, and a rock-solid resolution: leave the past in the past. But the universe has a very twisted sense of humor. On his very first day of university, Zay finds himself dragged to a campus basketball match. Standing on the court, effortlessly sinking three-pointers and looking impossibly handsome, is the one person Zay was trying to avoid: Kai Alexandre Frasier. Kai was the grumpy, untouchable boy who took Zay’s sunshine for granted. Now, he is the campus heartthrob, and fate seems determined to throw them together. When a scheduling fluke forces the two of them into the same high-stakes Veterinary labs, Zay's carefully built walls begin to crumble. To survive the semester, Zay has to treat Kai like a total stranger. He has to ignore the heavy silences, the lingering stares, and the quiet ways Kai tries to take care of him. Because Zay knows the rules: opening his heart means risking the same one-sided pain all over again. But Kai isn't the same boy he was two years ago. And this time, he isn't going to let Zay slip away without a fight. Can Zay protect his heart from the only boy who ever broke it? Or will Kai finally learn how to say the words that could change everything?

All my life, I thought I had it all figured out — the quiet, obedient girl who did what was expected and stayed in the shadows. But life has a way of turning everything upside down. I’ve lived with rules, expectations, and secrets I never dared to speak aloud. I’ve tried to be who everyone wanted me to be, but now… I’m starting to ask myself who I really am. And then there’s Lucas — a presence I can’t ignore, though I’m not sure what he truly means for me. Between past pains, the choices I make, and the life I’m trying to claim for myself, I’m learning that growing up is complicated… and sometimes, it hurts.

They didn’t arrive with fire. They didn’t arrive with war. They arrived… like a secret. Seven strangers appear in the city overnight—perfect, charming, almost too human. They laugh, blend in, and play their roles flawlessly, hiding behind soft smiles and ordinary lives. But beneath their skin, something ancient and inhuman stirs. They are not here to conquer. They are here to swim. In thoughts. In emotions. In the fragile light humans call hope. As members of a mysterious entity known only as UFO 29, the seven live among humans, jumping from mind to mind, feeding on unseen currents that even they barely understand. To the world, they are nothing more than a group of carefree young men—friends, brothers, performers of a normal life. But something is changing. A girl begins to notice the cracks—the glitches in their smiles, the way people around them start to… drift. Memories blur. Emotions twist. Reality bends just enough to feel wrong. And the seven? They’re starting to feel it too. Laughter that isn’t fake. Pain that isn’t borrowed. A bond that feels… real. For the first time, the line between human and monster begins to blur. Now, as their hidden mission threatens to unravel and their past resurfaces from a forgotten timeline, they must face the truth: Are they here to live as humans… Or to erase them? In a world of neon lights, silent invasions, and one endless performance, every night could be their last—or their beginning. Because this time… They might not want to leave.

[A Scheming Beauty Good at Flirting x a Domineering CEO, a Gentle Doctor, the Stoic Bigshot, and Twins; Male Leads Rivalry] Mia Grant stayed up all night reading a novel full of chaotic romance. Seeing an imprisonment scene in the book, she excitedly blurted out, "Please, protagonist! Let me in there to act for a couple of episodes!" After suddenly dying, she really did transmigrate into the novel, but not as the protagonist—rather, as the villainous side character. The original book didn't describe this character in detail, only mentioning that she was locked in a basement and starved to death for framing the protagonist. To survive, Mia Grant targeted the novel's several male leads and began her conquest. To the domineering CEO, she said with red-rimmed eyes, "Big Brother, the basement is so dark. Mia is so scared~" To the doctor, she cooed, "Second Brother, Mia’s chest hurts so much. Quick, have a listen." To the Stoic Bigshot, she looked innocent, "Mr. Keller, we’re in the same bed... My sister won’t be angry, will she?" To the aloof top student, she sobbed, "Am I just too stupid? I can’t compare to my sister at all!" To the puppy-dog-like boy, she blushed, "I didn’t come to watch you play! I-I was just passing by!" Having saved enough money, Mia Grant faked her death and escaped. Two months later, while she was on a tropical island flirting with eight male models, the System suddenly contacted her, "Host, I’ve finally established a connection with you! But can you tell me why all the male leads have gone mad? They even scattered your ashes into the sea!" "Forget it, you must go back and reduce their corruption levels! This world can still be saved!" "Not going." System: "A one-billion-dollar bonus!" Mia Grant whipped out her phone to contact a helicopter: "Yes, I need to leave the island. Immediately! Right now!"

Being bullied (crossed out) Training a dog (done) A Slow and Timid, Ghost-Fearing, Delicate and Pretty Shou × A Violent and Fierce but Wife-Puppy-Crazy, Psychotic Fragmented Boss Gong [Reading Guide] 1. The shou (bottom) is a delicate and beloved beauty — the most beautiful in the entire story — surrounded by a strong, Mary Sue–like halo. Not only does the top like him, but NPCs and players may also fall for him. 2. The top (gong) has fragmented souls, split into multiple slices — with more than one soul slice appearing in each instance. Those who have intimate interactions with the shou are all versions of the top (gong). 3. There are various descriptions highlighting the shou’s beauty and charm — the kind that easily captivates men. He’s a slow, timid, and beautiful fool, a crybaby who easily sheds tears and sometimes loses control etc. If you can’t handle it, run away quickly. 4. The pacing of each instance starts slow and gradually heats up, focusing more on XP (intimacy/relationship progress) than plot. Elements such as cross-dressing, tentacles, or clay modeling may appear, and the top tends to be possessive. If cornered, run fast. 5. Includes live-streaming elements and viewer commentary.

Elias Kane is the undisputed top operative of the Trash Trope Intervention Division, a covert agency that exists to dismantle the most outrageously toxic, over-the-top romance plots by seducing and systematically dismantling the worst offenders. He's left a trail of broken egos so long that the list of women he's ruined could wrap around a luxury skyscraper. Retirement was finally within reach—one last mission to close out his legendary career. Then the division decided his finale deserved "nightmare difficulty." This world is a glittering matriarchy where women command absolute power: they own the corporations, dictate the laws, and treat breathtakingly beautiful young men as prized possessions—sponsored, displayed, traded, and discarded when the novelty fades. Every target Elias faces here is a virtuoso of manipulation, capable of switching from velvet tenderness to razor cruelty in the blink of an eye. The flip risk is catastrophic. One wrong move and he's not just out—he's obliterated. Elias stared at the mission brief for a long moment. Then he shrugged. Fine. If they're raising the stakes, he'll raise them higher. He's going to make every last queen crawl before he's done collecting his pension. So tell me, sweetheart— Are you willing to be my good little dog? You only get to answer "Yes" or "Woof." Good Dogs don't say "No." Extra Tags: No Yuri, No NTR, Reverse Rape, Cunning Main Character, Matriarchal World, Absued Main Character, Cold Main Character, Physically Weak Main character, etc.
