Xu Ning, the poised and formidable CEO of the country's largest conglomerate, has mastered the art of staying three steps ahead of everyone. But when corporate rivalries lead her to Likaya, a war-scarred Caribbean island, she finds herself drawn into a mystery far older than she could imagine. Her path crosses with Shen Yichen, a guarded and dangerously perceptive man who challenges her in ways no one else dares. Their encounters become a battle of wit and restraint, where every conversation hides an unspoken challenge and every lingering glance threatens to reveal more than either intends. Neither is willing to surrender the upper hand, yet the tension between them grows impossible to ignore. As they navigate tangled conspiracies, buried betrayals, and the island's troubled past, suspicion gives way to reluctant trust—and attraction becomes their greatest vulnerability. But Xu Ning's forgotten past holds a truth that could shatter the fragile bond between them. Some encounters are written by fate; others demand a price.

Valeria Moretti has perfected the art of leaving men speechless. A siren of unparalleled beauty and power, her empire casts a spell on the mortal men who work for her. CEOs, aristocrats, attorneys-they're all entranced, fighting to catch her eye, yet none are foolish enough to believe they'll have her heart. Adrian Blake, hired to help Valeria after a company scandal, initially brushes off her effect. But soon, he notices the constant male attention that surrounds her, stirring something fierce inside him. From the smitten executives to the wealthy men trailing after her at social events, the endless crowd of admirers drives him to desperation. He wants to be the only one, the one who breaks through her icy demeanor. Yet, as Aiden's jealousy grows, so does his obsession. He's willing to stake his career, his sanity, and maybe even his life to secure a place in her world. Unbeknownst to him, Valeria thrives off this attention-though she remains indifferent, even cold, toward her admirers. For her, they're tools in a game centuries old, none of them worthy of anything more than fleeting interest.

When most people retire, they help raise grandkids, babysit, or go square dancing. But when Pei Ye retires, she spends her money raising virtual characters. Before spending: "Trash game.

Raising virtual characters, you see, can nurture the soul and add a little color to an otherwise dull retirement. And if you raise them well, not only do you build a bond with them, you might even… well…

Three years of devotion. Three years of loving Julian with everything she had. Only to be framed for a divorce and personally sent to prison by him. "I didn't kill her," Evelyn begged. "I didn't kill the woman you love." "I don't believe you." Facing a death sentence with no one to turn to, Evelyn made the most desperate choice of her life — she threw herself at the one person Julian would never forgive. His younger brother. "Get me pregnant. Please. It's the only way I survive." Because pregnant women are not subject to the death penalty. By the time the truth surfaced and Julian realized the woman he destroyed was innocent, it was already too late. He dropped to his knees. "Eve, I was wrong. Give me one more chance." A hand caught his wrist before he could touch her. "She's already my wife, brother."

How did Quinn find himself in this situation? Quinn had thought that everything had been terrible and awful before now, but after his doctor visit, things had only taken a turn for the worst. What he had thought was a simple, maybe aggressive cold, had turned out to be so much worse. Quinn had lived his whole life as a beta. He thought he was going to live, grow a family, and die a beta. He had no idea what had changed. Was it his heartbreak? The fact that he had longed to be loved properly by his best friend who was an alpha? He hoped that wasn’t the case, because this was the worst possible outcome that could happen. He would not, could not, baby trap anyone. Especially when he didn’t even know who the father of the child in his stomach was to begin with. One night of out of character fun had ruined his life, forever. How was he going to hide this? Could he even hide this? What happened when his friends started asking questions? What happened when he started showing? Was he going to have to quit his job? He hadn’t even gotten over his crush on his best friend, and now he was pregnant?! Everything was truly falling apart.

It always starts with an accident. That’s how all these stories go. One moment, you’re minding your own business, and the next, you wake up in someone else’s body. For Caspian, his accident started earlier than he even knew. Maybe it began when his sister got him into romance novels? Or when he started really sympathizing with the villains at the ends of books? He’d never know. It was too late to worry about it now. For now, he had to find a way to fix this nightmare, or rehabilitate his image, all while trying to free himself from the fate set out for him. All because of the damn "gods" who he'd cut a deal with. These were the only two options he had available, and he wasn’t sure he could succeed at either. The man he had taken over for had been…a true piece of work. And the secret villain of the book he had been reading before he passed. It had been a harem novel. A reverse harem novel. He was trapped in a huge ass CASTLE with a bunch of men who hated him because he was taking affection and time away from their shared wife. All Cass wanted to do was be a good person, not mess around with this poor woman and her far too handsome husbands. But why would no one leave him alone? Was he too suspicious? And why, after going out of his way to avoid them like they had asked, did they keep pestering him? And where did the heroine go? How was he going to manage three, handsome men without the heroine?

Spoiled by luxury and driven by ambition, Artemis—a young hitwoman—can’t seem to escape the shadows of a fractured world left behind by those who came before her. In cities made of neon-lit ruins and broken promises, she’s learnt to survive by cutting corners and making deals in the dark. But the interesting thing about survival, is that it always comes at a cost. And the further she goes, the messier it gets. As Artemis sinks further into a world of corporate corruption and underground schemes, she begins to realize she’s caught in the unfinished business of a forgotten war. A war with secrets so deep that even its echoes can still change lives, challenge loyalties, and threaten everything she thought she knew. But how long can she keep doing this? Running from the past—hers and everyone else’s? Now, with a buried conspiracy that’s been building for two decades starting to unravel, its consequences could reshape the future of the world itself. (This story is based on the Cyberpunk 2020 universe but is effectively its own.)

Kurokawa Saki: “...” It's so exciting. When the mainline started and the ‘dead’ players received new ID, they had just realized the game was driving them further and further away in various ‘fun’ scenarios. … [No. 1]: I know that I'm the member of the organization on the surface but what the hell is this task of dancing in the nightclub?

I only made a few original characters for the sake of the story Note 5: I made this more for myself and for fun so eh, don't expect too much

Viola was once the pride of her pack, destined to rise above everyone on the day she received her wolf. Instead, that day marked her fall. She had been the villain in countless stories, untouchable and adored by the Alpha heir, until the night her wolf was supposed to awaken, and fate played its cruelest joke. She fell to the lowest rank in her pack, rejected by her sworn mate. Stripped of status, strength, and even her wolf, she was forced to live a life worse than that of an omega. Imprisoned and alone, Viola’s only hope of escape lay in finding her wolf, or her fated mate. Only, a dark past kept her powers dormant… and her fated mate didn’t want her. Sebastian Kade is powerful, ruthless, and chained to a past he refuses to release. Viola Linden does not belong in his world, and he wants her gone. Fate, however, disagrees. This fragile, stubborn girl refuses to leave his orbit. He does not believe in love. He does not want her. He has already lost too much. An Alpha who swore off weakness, hardened by loss and haunted by a prophecy that feels more like a curse, Sebastian is certain he will never allow another woman into his life. But the Moon Goddess is rarely kind. Viola carries something ancient within her, something dangerous, something powerful enough to defy him. Hate twists into desire. Desire ignites into fierce passion. And passion threatens to become love. But when Sebastian discovers what Viola truly carries within her, will it save him… or destroy everything he’s built? ~~~ WARNING: MATURE CONTENT! #Slow burn #Spicy #Morally Gray ML #Adventure #Angst Discord server: https://discord.gg/VMM9DXw3yP
