Death Blooms for You

After a century of courtship, Xu Qianyi’s wedding ends in a brutal betrayal. Her husband coveted only one thing: the secret of her celestial bloodline—a power that could open the gates to the heavens themselves. She and her adopted sister, Yisha, are the last surviving deities of a forgotten celestial clan, raised in the shadowed luxury of the Zuì Mèng Lóu pavilion. Their guardian is the ancient and formidable demon, Xuán Líng, who took them in alongside a lone frost fox demon, Lǐ Wei, forging them into an unbreakable family—and a lethal one. With the secret of their bloodline exposed, Qianyi and Yisha, guided by Lǐ Wei’s unwavering protection, set out to uncover the truth behind their clan's destruction. But their path leads them to a spiritual blight rotting the land, a decay that began in the ruins of a fallen empire neighboring their own destroyed home. The connection is no coincidence. To survive, they must cast aside their mortal disguises and ascend to their true divine forms, mastering the legendary power sleeping in their blood. But the path to godhood is paved with heavenly lightning and treachery, and the darkness they awaken may be the one trial their fierce bond cannot survive. Death Blooms for You is a xianxia epic of sisterhood, vengeance, and the world-shaking power of a chosen family.

His Little Captive

Prologue: The Steel and the Snow The air in Moscow didn’t just feel cold; it felt heavy, like it was saturated with the scent of expensive tobacco and old blood. Nikolai Volkov sat in the back of his armored Rolls-Royce, his eyes as grey as the Siberian winter. He was the Pakhan—the man who held the strings of the city’s heart. To the world, he was a monster. To his men, he was a god. But inside, Nikolai felt a strange, hollow silence. He had everything—power, wealth beyond imagination, and a reputation that made grown men tremble—yet he was bored. He flipped through a surveillance report, his fingers tracing the edge of a grainy photograph taken in a cramped alleyway in Seoul. It wasn't a business target. It was a girl. She was small, with dark hair that fell like silk over bruised shoulders, and eyes that held a universe of quiet suffering. "She’s crying again," his lead enforcer, Viktor, muttered from the front seat, checking his tablet. Nikolai didn't look up, but his grip tightened on the paper. "Does the father still have the bottle in his hand?" "Yes, sir. And the mother is no better." Nikolai’s jaw set. He was a man of violence, but he loathed the weak who preyed on the even weaker. He had spent months watching her from the shadows of his digital empire. He had seen her work three jobs, seen her hide her tears behind a polite smile, and seen the marks her parents left on her skin. "Prepare the jet," Nikolai said, his voice a low, dangerous rumble. "I’m tired of watching. I want to bring her home." "Sir, the Bratva council expects you at the—" "The council can wait," Nikolai snapped, his eyes finally lifting, burning with a terrifying, protective fire. "Hana doesn't have another night to lose."

Echoes of Seoul:A Billionaire's Gentle Pursuit

In the glittering heart of Seoul, where skyscrapers kiss the clouds and dreams often drown in the Han River's current, two worlds collide in the quietest, most unexpected way. Ji-eun scrapes by in the shadow of the city's wealth, pouring coffee by day and sketching impossible futures by night. Her life is stitched together with sacrifice — supporting a sick father, a hopeful younger brother, and a mother who never complains. Romance is a luxury she cannot afford; survival is her only priority. Min-ho is the untouchable heir to the Han Group empire, a man who commands boardrooms and headlines alike. Handsome, brilliant, and achingly lonely, he has everything money can buy — except someone who sees past the fortune to the man beneath. Jaded by shallow affection and the weight of legacy, he has long stopped believing in genuine connection. One twilight evening by the river, fate draws them together: a near-accident, a shared glance, a simple conversation under the city lights. What begins as chance becomes habit — stolen moments on the same bench, quiet talks about art and ambition, laughter that feels dangerously real. But love between a chaebol prince and a barista with calloused hands is anything but simple. Family expectations, societal divides, hidden secrets, and the relentless pace of Seoul threaten to pull them apart before they can truly come together. In a city that never sleeps, will their gentle, slow-burning connection echo loud enough to rewrite their futures? Or will the distance between their worlds prove too vast to bridge?

The Girl They Never Saw

Moon Carter is born into a family that never truly wanted her. From the moment her birth coincides with her father’s business collapse, she is branded as a symbol of misfortune—a child blamed for a family’s downfall before she can even speak. While her brothers are loved, protected, and celebrated, Moon grows up in the shadows of her own home, unseen and unheard. Her mother, Margaret Carter, withdraws from her entirely, offering neither affection nor protection. Her father’s silence becomes another form of rejection. In a household full of voices and demands, Moon learns early to expect nothing. She is raised not by her parents, but by the family maid, Catherine, whose quiet kindness becomes Moon’s first lesson in love. The only blood relative who truly sees her is her grandfather, whose presence offers Moon brief moments of warmth in an otherwise cold childhood. At school, Moon’s intelligence and gentleness shine, but cruelty follows her there as well. When she experiences a humiliating public moment that exposes how deeply neglected she has been—even denied guidance through her own womanhood—Moon becomes a target of ridicule. The bullying she faces from classmates is worsened by the betrayal of her own brothers, who join in mocking her rather than defending her. Despite the neglect, Moon refuses to harden. Supported by loyal friends, Rachel and Jacob, she learns that family can exist outside of blood. But each act of cruelty at home pushes her closer to a silent resolve: one day, she will leave. One day, she will reclaim her name, her worth, and her voice. The Girl They Never Saw is a haunting coming-of-age story about abandonment, resilience, and the quiet strength of a girl who survives being invisible—until she learns to truly see herself.
