She tried to wave it off, but it kept bugging her: The possibility of Quintiel being too involved, of him being one step ahead of her - as always. Nirit huffed, raising her head in determination. “If he's up to something--” “--then I'll just have to figure it before she's able to cross me.” Quintiel concluded, clenching his fists. They glared at eachother, hard. That knowing look.. that expression. Just as they'd both feared. -"Damnit! he knows" -"Damnit! she knows"

After a drunken one-night stand at her best friend's wedding, struggling artist Mia Chen wakes up in a luxury penthouse with no memory of the night before—and no sign of the mysterious stranger. Three months later, she discovers she's pregnant and her world turns upside down. Enter Alexander Kane: the youngest president of Kane Enterprises, a multi-billion dollar empire, known for his ruthless business tactics and ice-cold demeanor. When a business rival threatens to expose their night together and ruin his carefully crafted image, Alexander tracks down Mia with an offer she can't refuse: a contract marriage for two years in exchange for financial security and protection for her and the baby. But living under the same roof proves complicated. As Mia navigates high society's judgment, Alexander's manipulative ex-fiancée, and corporate enemies who want to use her as leverage, she begins to see cracks in Alexander's cold exterior. Beneath the ruthless president lies a man haunted by a tragic past and terrified of becoming like his abusive father. As fake touches become real feelings and contract clauses blur into genuine care, Mia and Alexander must decide: is their connection just for show, or could an accidental pregnancy lead to a love that's anything but fake?

The night at the Lockwood estate was thick with the scent of jasmine and the unspoken weight of a hundred years. I stood on the balcony, the music from the ballroom fading into a haunting hum, and for a moment, the world felt still. Then, the air changed. Silas stepped out of the shadows, his presence a cooling balm to the fever of the evening. When he looked at me, it wasn’t just my face he saw—it was my soul, the broken parts I had tried so hard to hide. He reached out, his hand hovering near mine, hesitant, as if I were a fragile dream he was afraid to wake from. "You look like a memory," he whispered, his emerald eyes bright with a sorrow that mirrored my own. "But you feel like the future. I’ve spent a century in the dark, Lyra, just waiting for a light I didn't believe existed until I saw you." His touch was a soft frost, a promise of protection, a love that wanted to mend the cracks in my heart. For a heartbeat, I believed in miracles. I believed I could be more than the girl who survived the bridge. But then, a shadow cut through the moonlight. Jax was leaning against the stone railing, a glass of amber liquid in his hand and a smirk that felt like a blade. He didn't look at me with reverence; he looked at me with a hunger that made my blood sing in terror and desire. He stepped into my space, displacing the peace Silas had brought, smelling of woodsmoke and a dangerous, beautiful ruin. "Don't listen to him, little bird," Jax drawled, his blue eyes raking over me with a lethal intensity. "He wants to worship you in a cathedral of lies. I want to show you the truth. My brother loves the saint he thinks you are. I love the chaos I know is hidden beneath that pretty skin." He leaned down, his breath warm against my ear, a stark contrast to Silas’s chill. "He’ll catch your fall, Lyra. But I’m the one who will teach you how to fly in the dark." I stood between them—the moon and the storm. One offered a sanctuary built on secrets; the other offered a throne built on blood. And as I looked from the emerald gaze of the man who wanted to save me to the icy stare of the man who wanted to claim me, I realized the terrifying truth. I didn't just look like the woman who destroyed them. I was the spark that would finally set their world on fire. In the shadow of Mystic Ridge, the hunt for a heart has begun. One love will crown her. The other will bleed her dry.

The story begins from the perspective of Lana, a mysterious young woman traveling with a suspicious but charming swan companion. Little is known about Lana’s past, and her guarded nature contrasts with the open and expressive Zai, a man she meets along the road. Though Zai appears mysterious, readers feel closer to him than to Lana because of his honesty. Together, they set out for the Eclipse Forest, a rumored safe haven from the Forces of Shadows. On their journey, they must pass through dangerous lands — the Shapeless Forest, Illusion Forest, and Water Forest — where they encounter allies. Sirene from the Water Forest and Zoey from the Illusion Forest join their group, offering knowledge and aid. Along the way, Lana and Zai’s relationship slowly deepens as they face inner conflicts and external threats, yet suspicion toward the Swan lingers. Their travels bring them to the Silent Kingdom, where they are jailed by its Queen. By helping her break a curse of silence caused by the Shadows, they earn her trust and form a powerful alliance. From here, the group continues making allies among other creatures, strengthening their cause. Romance blossoms between Lana and Zai, but trust is shaken when secrets about the Swan are revealed. The group is soon betrayed and captured by the Shadows, thrown into a massive cage designed to force them to fight one another. The Shadows use a device to corrupt their powers and drain their energy into their army. Despite betrayal and darkness, Lana, Zai, Sirene, and Zoey work together, unknowingly aided by Lana’s hidden parents, and manage to escape. This trial forces them to confront their fears and depend on each other more than ever. Eventually, Lana learns the truth about her real parents and the roots of her existence. Reaching the Eclipse Forest, they discover its protective barrier is collapsing. The forest is not the refuge they hoped for, but rather the place of their origin. Here, Lana and Zai uncover their destinies: Lana carries the Flame Spirit, while Zai carries the Swan Spirit, both descended from the ancient Eclipse Spirit. With their powers awakened and their bond renewed, they rally allies and the creatures of the Eclipse to face the Shadows in a final confrontation. Through unity, healing, and love, they defend the Eclipse Forest and accept their duty as its protectors, fulfilling the destiny that had been waiting for them all along.

I was nothing special. A shut-in. A chubby, ordinary girl who blended into the background like a shadow. Easy to ignore. Easier to mock. The world never ran out of ways to remind me I didn’t belong. Cruel jokes in hallways. Laughter that followed me home. Words sharper than blades, carving deeper than bruises ever could. Bit by bit, I shrank into myself until there was nothing left but silence and the weight of my own loneliness. That night, I decided I’d had enough. The chair creaked under me. The rope swayed above. My room was still, suffocating, as if the world didn’t care whether I breathed or not. And maybe it didn’t. Then—music. It came from the neighbor’s stereo, muffled through the thin walls. A single voice cutting into the darkness. A voice that shouldn’t have reached me, but did. Strong. Raw. Alive. It wrapped around me like a hand pulling me back from the edge. The lyrics told me not to hide my light. That even if it flickered, it still burned. I gasped, stumbling from the chair, clutching my chest as though those words had physically struck me. Tears blurred my vision, but for the first time in forever, they weren’t from pain—they were from something I thought I’d lost. Hope. That voice saved me. His voice. Eric. The lead singer of AUREA—the boyband that would one day become gods in the music world. To me, he wasn’t just an idol. He was my lifeline. And then . . . years later, when he died, the world mourned. I mourned. The one who saved me, the reason of my life, was gone, ripped from life far too soon. I thought it was over. But fate had other plans. One desperate wish, one shattered night, and when I opened my eyes—I was ten years in the past. Before the world knew AUREA. Before Eric was swallowed by fame. Before his voice was silenced forever. I’m just Emy—ordinary, clumsy, and invisible to most. But this time . . . it’s my turn. Eric saved me once. Now, I’ll save him. No matter what it takes.

He transmigrated into the body of a sixteen-year-old boy. Asou Akiya’s new parents were dead, he had no ties, no burdens, no way back; the original owner had left him nothing but a precarious foothold as the lowliest grunt in Yokohama’s most notorious port organization. For an ordinary human without a single ability, simply staying alive was set to nightmare difficulty. No golden finger from the heavens? Then he would forge his own. Four years later. Destiny finally handed him its greatest turning point. After a cataclysmic explosion rocked the city, Asou Akiya, with meticulous calculation and trembling hands, rescued a breathtaking French beauty who had lost all memory. The man had been betrayed, abandoned, left fragile and shivering in the cold; yet beneath that porcelain vulnerability burned a soul of blinding brilliance and combat prowess that touched the very ceiling of this world. “…Who… am I?” “You are a romantic French poet, Rimbaud.” “A poet?” “Yes,” Akiya whispered, voice steady as scripture, “and you are the love of my life.” From that moment, Asou Akiya placed him upon the apex of his heart and spoiled him rotten. He soothed every wound with tenderness, watered the tender shoots of love with carefully tended lies, and watched them bloom. So what if memory returned one day? He had already seized the most priceless treasure in the world. Thank you, Verlaine! The partner you were willing to discard is now my wife. 【Asou Akiya × Rimbaud (French name: Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud)】 {Mon âme éternelle, Observe ton voeu Malgré la nuit seule Et le jour en feu.} O my eternal soul, Hold fast to desire In spite of the night And the day on fire. — From A Season in Hell, Rimbaud

How hard can that be? ********** "How many?" I froze. Did he expect me to count? "How. Many?" "I-I don't—Ah!" Ares spanked me again, continuously. My eyes stung, and sweet pain overtook me. I should feel sick from deriving pleasure from this, but strangely, I wasn't. "Two?" I teased, purposely getting the numbers wrong. "You shouldn't have done that." Just as I thought, he started again, but this time he drove each hit with more force until my ass was burning. "Fifteen!" I yelled, shaking. "Wrong." My heart momentarily stopped. "I got it right!" "You missed one." He pressed his hand on my searing bottom, and I moaned. I tried to squirm away, but he trapped my hands behind my back, his voice dark with warning.

Yin Yue grows up knowing hunger better than comfort and silence better than prayer. When violence steals her mother and leaves her alone in the streets, survival becomes her only education. She learns quickly. Taken by traffickers and sold into the imperial palace as part of the Inner Court selection, Yin Yue enters a world governed by beauty, obedience, and quiet cruelty. Girls are renamed, ranked, and watched. Some adapt. Many disappear. Yin Yue observes. She learns how power moves through corridors, how favor is earned and lost, how kindness can be used and punished. Each choice she makes is small, necessary, and irreversible.

Love becomes complicated. Loyalty becomes conditional. And power, once within reach, asks her to decide who she is willing to become. This is not a story about destiny. It is the story of a woman who lived—fully, painfully, intelligently—inside a system designed to erase her, and did not disappear.
