Ruaan Calder is many things. Wealthy. Charming. Completely guilty. He made one bad decision — okay, several — and now he's trading his designer suits for prison grey. Fine. He can handle that. He's handled worse. What he didn't account for was 'Officer Harolin Crowe.' Cold. Ruthless. Unfairly attractive for someone whose entire personality is making Ruaan's life a living hell. The man has it out for him specifically — blocking every move he makes, sabotaging every attempt to climb the prison hierarchy, and showing up exactly when Ruaan is 'thisclose' to winning. It's personal. Ruaan just doesn't know why yet. Every Thursday, the prison runs its games. Win and you move up. Lose and you wish you hadn't. Ruaan is determined to reach the top — and Crowe is determined to keep him at the bottom, under his boot, where he belongs. The problem? Being under Harolin Crowe isn't nearly as unpleasant as it should be. And the man who swore to make him suffer keeps finding very creative ways to do exactly that. Ruaan Calder deserves everything coming to him. 'He just didn't expect to enjoy some of it.' --- WARNING: Dark themes, prison violence, explicit content, morally grey characters, and a villain who may or may not deserve what he gets. Enjoy!

Clumsy, chaotic, and endlessly enthusiastic, Park Ji-Ah lands her first job at an elite publishing company Hanryeon Tech—where she immediately collides with Ha-Joon Kim, the company’s cold, perfection-obsessed CEO. What begins as a daily war of nerves, paperwork, and personality clashes slowly turns into something neither of them planned: love. But loving a Kim is never simple. When Ha-Joon’s powerful family steps in, Ji-Ah is judged not for who she is, but for where she comes from. Labeled “unsuitable” because of her poor background, Ji-Ah becomes the center of a class-driven conflict that threatens both her relationship and Ha-Joon’s position. As tensions rise, chaos doubles when Ha-Joon’s other brother develops an interest in Ji-Ah’s sister, entangling the two families even further. Boundaries blur, loyalties are tested, and emotions collide, forcing Ji-Ah and Ha-Joon to decide whether love is worth standing against family expectations, societal pressure, and their own fears. In a world where perfection is demanded and mistakes are unforgiven, Ji-Ah must prove that sincerity, resilience, and a little chaos might be the most powerful things of all.

“Where did you go?” He questioned, not bothering to adjust his unbuttoned shirt. I had run away but here I was coming to apologize for my actions. “You think you can come and go as you please?” His fingers pressed against my cheeks, firm but not painful, forcing me to meet his gaze. “No, I—I,” I stammered, but before I could finish, his lips almost grazing mine, he interrupted, his tone ice-cold. “You will go home this instant,” he spoke, his face dark. “And you'll stay there till I get back,” he barked out his orders, his eyes boring into mine. “Who do you think you are to order me around,” I thought to respond but my lips wouldn’t make a sound. I didn't fight back. I couldn’t. Without another word, I turned and walked away, his gaze searing into my back. ~~~~~~~~~~ After a steamy night with a sexy stranger, Elena finds out she is pregnant.

Haruko could hardly believe it — she had actually transmigrated into a melodramatic female-oriented novel. And she had become a cannon fodder villainess! Facing a death flag right at the start, Haruko decisively transformed into a yandere loli and confessed to the female lead. “Ichiko, the one I like is you!” “You clearly said you liked me — so why are you still going to someone else!” “I won’t allow you to like anyone else. You can only like me!!!” She would confess, make her fall in love, and then fake her death in front of her — making herself her one and only. But gradually, Haruko noticed something was off. The female lead seemed to have been raised into a yandere. “Hey, Haruko, you can only like me too, okay?”

After a psychic crash, she flees to the Sanctuary — a hidden monastery where an AI known as Odin watches, doctors speak in riddles, and a one-eyed man with a cane offers the only thing she never had: a choice. But the songs are still playing. The serpent is still whispering. And the crown she helped build is coming for her. A dark psychological thriller about identity, fame, and the moment an idol realises she was never the queen — she was the bait.

Lu Sangjiu spent over a year imprinting the innocent image of herself—often coughing up blood, delicate, and frail—into the hearts of everyone in the Seven Emotions Sect. In reality, the frequent coughing of blood was real, but she wasn't actually that delicate and frail. In the beginning, she had only one purpose for coming to the Seven Emotions Sect: to strip away the female lead Ye Zhiyao's destiny and break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao! Later, looking at the simple and kind-hearted fools of her sect, she thought to herself, since it's convenient anyway, I might as well save who I can! As the saying goes, the only thing that can defeat a pure white lotus is a refreshing little green tea. So, in order to compete with the female lead Ye Zhiyao, who possesses immense luck and is loved by all men, it wouldn't be too much for her to occasionally speak some "green tea" words, right? And so... Facing a demon beast, Lu Sangjiu, while spitting blood, bravely said: "Eldest Senior Brother, don't worry about me, hurry and save Senior Sister Ye, she's more important than I am!" The hot-tempered Eldest Senior Brother stood firmly in front of her, "Nonsense! My Little Junior Sister is the most important!" Facing a scheming bitch, Lu Sangjiu, while spitting blood, choked out: "Second Senior Sister, don't misunderstand, she wasn't bullying me, I'm not wronged at all!" The crybaby Second Senior Sister, while wiping her tears, gave her a live performance of tearing the scheming bitch apart by hand. Facing an Evil Cultivator, Lu Sangjiu, while spitting blood, stubbornly said: "Third Senior Brother, you go first... I will definitely do my best to hold on until you bring people back to save me!" The timid Third Senior Brother mustered his courage, had a breakthrough on the spot, and crushed the Evil Cultivator! Later, Ye Zhiyao pointed her sword at Lu Sangjiu, claiming she was the Demon Cultivator Gu Huang, who brought disaster to the world a hundred years ago, and that she should be killed. Everyone stood firmly in front of Lu Sangjiu, "Impossible! Little Junior Sister is too frail to withstand a gust of wind; there's no way she's the Great Demon!"

In the year Damian Fairchild was at his poorest, Seraphina Quinn proposed a divorce and kicked him out the door. On the day of their divorce, news broke that he had died in a plane crash. Five years later, when Seraphina Quinn's family had fallen from grace and she was at her wits' end, the supposedly dead Damian Fairchild returned to the country with great fanfare. At that time, he was the all-powerful young master of a financial conglomerate, with a suitable woman already by his side. At that time, she was so destitute she couldn't even afford her son's medicine. On the day of his return, he pinned her down before the large bed, “Miss Quinn, I'm not dead. Are you very disappointed?” Her eyes reddened, her voice choked with sobs, “No… I've always missed you. I'm so happy you're not dead…” The man leaned down to kiss her lips, coaxing her in a low voice, “How happy? Prove it to me.” She hugged him back, offering her own kiss. After a night of passion, he threw a contract in her face, “My fiancée has liver failure and needs a caregiver. You're a perfect fit.” Her tears rolled out of her eyes: “Mr. Fairchild, one night as a married couple is worth a hundred days of kindness. I am your ex-wife, you can't treat me like this.” The man's face was devoid of expression: “Miss Quinn, with you, it's all lust and no love. Don't be unappreciative!” Months later, driven into a corner by him, she begged bitterly: “Mr. Fairchild, I admit I wronged you back then, but I'm pregnant now. Can you please give me a way out?” The man gently caressed her cheek and pronounced her sentence heartlessly: “The Fairchild Family will not acknowledge an illegitimate child. Get rid of it.” Later, when the truth was revealed, she fled with her son, and he went mad, launching a global manhunt for her. Finally, one day, he cornered her at her wedding, roaring in anger: “You can't get married, I am the child's biological father!” Seraphina Quinn narrowed her eyes and smiled faintly, “I'm sorry, who are you?”
