When Aria Wynter's father loses everything overnight, she walks through the doors of Ashford Industries looking for work and comes face to face with Clark Ashford. Cold, powerful and devastatingly handsome, he doesn't just offer her a job. He offers her a contract marriage. And Aria, with her family drowning in debt, has no choice but to sign. But Clark's marriage is not a love story. It is a revenge plot. Convinced that Aria's family destroyed the people he loved most, Clark makes her life behind their mansion's gilded walls a quiet living nightmare. What he doesn't know is that Aria Wynter does not break easily. Silently and relentlessly, she begins to dig for the truth and what she uncovers changes everything. The real enemy was never Aria's family. Every tragedy, every lie, every carefully placed accusation was orchestrated by one man hiding in plain sight a man Clark trusted with his life. As the full weight of the betrayal crashes down, unlikely alliances are formed, buried secrets rise to the surface and two people who were never supposed to fall in love find themselves standing at the edge of something they cannot take back. When their three year contract expires, Aria makes one final demand before she walks away forever. One genuine night. No pretense. No armor. Then she leaves taking the truth, her dignity and a secret she carries silently inside her. What Clark doesn't know yet is that the girl who once saved him from drowning as a child was Aria herself. It was always her. Now he has lost her twice. And this time, winning her back may cost him everything.

A dark psychological thriller about identity, fame, and the moment an idol realises she was never the queen — she was the bait.

Content warning. This novel contains dark themes, Violence, possessive romance, multiple mates, pregnancy themes, chaotic survival, and a heroine who really did not sign up for any of this. Reader discretion and a sense of humour is advised.

Death by overwork? Check. Isekai’d into a glittery kingdom called Aelthryndivoryssalindria, yes, that's the name but I call it Aelthryn, because who has time for that? Double check. All I wanted was a soft life filled with pastries, naps, and no husband. But five years into my new life as Princess Elyndravyssorathielindria Sylvarindelthys—Elyn, please, God knows why the names are so difficult to pronounce—my father demands I marry. But explain to me why all the potential suitors look like they were picked up from the fucking gutter? I kid you not. one of them literally suggested teaching me to ride a horse and guess who found out he could not ride one at all and at the end of the day cried begging for his mother...me. And that's just one. There's also the fact that I don't want to even get married. So in a panic, after scaring my suitors away, I tell my father I'm in love with Zorathys Vaelkyrion. What I didn't plan for was the fact that Zorathys is real, he’s at our annual ball, and he’s calling me his lover to settle Dad’s debts. Now I’m stuck in the Underworld, managing Hell’s paperwork, babysitting demon nobles, and dodging a giant snake with a sweet tooth. Oh, and Zor? A lazy, body-pillow-hugging tease who makes my heart race. Worse, every escape portal dumps me in his bedroom, and he’s not so bad. But when I stumble into a plot to overthrow him, my soft-life dreams might cost me everything—unless I fight for the husband I never wanted. Send help please, I just wanted a soft life and not a demon husband.. --------------------- "...you can't marry my daughter," my father said to the demon king and I nodded. "...she...she's gay. Yes," he said with a nod like that was the most reasonable explanation ever. "She's into girls." I was shocked and stared at him then back at the demon king who paused. Maybe this could work after all. I nodded too, supporting my father's words. The demon king smiled then. "What good taste you have, there's a reason why we belong to each other after all. I'm into women too." What?

SYNOPSIS After getting fired from her dead-end job, Mira Kale, a twenty-two-year-old orphan, stumbles into a mysterious boutique called "Wish." The store feels strange, almost alive. And when she buys the only thing she can afford — an old, vintage bag — she has no idea her life is about to end… and begin again. Moments after leaving the shop and getting into her apartment, Mira is killed by the very bag she bought. But instead of dying, she awakens to a voice — a bubbly, thousand-year-old system named Vira — who tells her she's been chosen for a cosmic mission. Her task? To travel through ten different worlds, taking the place of souls who died unjustly, righting their wrongs, and taking revenge on their enemies. Each completed world earns her one billion star points — and when she reaches ten billion, she'll finally have the chance to revive her parents and live the life she's always dreamed of. But failure means something far worse than death. From a pharmaceutical and perfume heiress in one world to a battle-hardened doctor in another, Mira will live countless lives — fighting rival systems, outsmarting villains, uncovering supernatural secrets, and slowly becoming someone far greater than she ever imagined. With a baby-faced system that's as mischievous as it is loyal, and a fate that demands both heart and strength, Mira's journey will test everything she believes about love, justice, and what it truly means to live again. Will she survive all ten worlds and rewrite her destiny… or vanish, forgotten, between realities?

The Setup Elena Thorne is a woman with a legacy to save. Her family’s textile business is on the brink of collapse, threatening the livelihoods of hundreds of workers. Julian Vane is a billionaire with a cold reputation and a ticking clock; his grandfather’s will demands he marry by his thirty-fifth birthday or lose his position as Chairman of Vane Holdings. ​The Deal The two strike a cold, calculated bargain: a one-year contract marriage. Julian provides the five-million-dollar bailout Elena needs, and in exchange, Elena plays the role of the devoted wife to secure Julian's inheritance.

Their first public appearance at a high-stakes gala proves they are a powerful team, successfully fooling Julian’s suspicious grandfather. However, Elena begins to see the lonely, guarded man behind Julian’s "Ice King" persona, while Julian finds himself drawn to Elena’s genuine heart and fierce loyalty. ​The Stakes While they are partners in a "business transaction," the outside world is watching. With prying reporters, a skeptical family, and their own growing chemistry, the two must decide if they are just playing parts in a play—or if the only thing more dangerous than losing their companies is losing their hearts.
