how much does it hurt

Michelle Kent—famously known as MK—has never believed in love. To her, love is overrated, impractical, and unreliable. She marries her best friend not out of romance, but out of duty—an arrangement shaped by expectations, community, and convenience. Her life is orderly, successful, and emotionally untouched. Until Shriya enters it. Shriya is assigned a single task: ruin MK’s reputation. What begins as a task quickly turns into guilt when the truth becomes impossible to ignore. MK is accused of infidelity—but the irony cuts deep. Despite being married, MK has never been with anyone. Not emotionally. Not physically. Not truly. Haunted by what she’s done, Shriya approaches MK to make amends, believing a conversation might ease her conscience. Instead, it ignites something neither of them was prepared for. Their connection grows quietly, intensely—built on honesty, longing, and the unfamiliar warmth of being truly seen. For MK, it’s her first experience of love. For Shriya, it’s the one thing she was never meant to want. But the world around them is unforgiving. Circumstances tear them apart again and again, each separation deeper than the last. MK, new to both love and heartbreak, begins to wonder if the pain consuming her is simply because she doesn’t know how to endure it—or if love itself is always this cruel. As everything she believed about herself begins to fracture, MK finds herself clutching her chest, breath uneven, one question echoing through the silence: How much does it hurt?

[BL] I Didn't Sign Up For This

Look, I’m Riven Kael. Twenty-eight, data analyst, zero ambition beyond paying rent and avoiding small talk. My life was spreadsheets, instant ramen, and the occasional ghost I pretended not to see. Then one mandatory company gala, because of course it was mandatory, turned into the universe’s worst prank. I touched a cursed amulet. I just touched it. Next thing I know, I’m waking up in a penthouse that costs more than my entire bloodline, sporting a glowing marriage sigil on my wrist, legally and magically hitched to Azryth Valek. Yes, that Azryth Valek. The CEO of half the planet, a walking sin in a three-piece suit, an ancient demon lord who was literally sealed inside said amulet until I accidentally set him free. He says we’re bound. Separation means both of us die slowly and painfully. Soul-consumption optional but very much on the table if I’m stupid enough to fall for him. Which, newsflash, I am not. I’m not. Shut up. So now I’m living with an unfortunately hot CEO from hell, dodging assassination attempts disguised as corporate mergers, banishing spirits that show up at my desk like unpaid interns, and pretending we’re a power couple for the cameras while he smirks like he knows exactly how much I want to strangle him. Or kiss him. Or both. Brain, we are not doing this. I didn’t sign up for boardroom battles, multiversal rifts, or the terrifying realization that the arrogant demon who ruined my life might be the only one who truly sees me. But here I am. Still complaining, still fighting, still falling, against every shred of common sense, hopelessly, stupidly, irrevocably in love. Because when the universe marries you to the devil, it doesn’t ask for consent. It just hands you the ring. And damn it, I’m keeping it.

His selfish waltz, Their love hangover (omegaverse reverse harem)

Gu Yeon died and was offered back his life by a sorcerer: now the omega has to pay the price of his new life with the lives of the five mated emperors who rule the country. He was supposed to sneak in, spy on them, take their lives and sneak out unscathed, but how is he to do that when he also is drunk on the same shot he offers the emperors to drink? Confident Yeon expected it to be easier, instead: he becomes the center of the head emperor Kihyun's dangerous obsession. Meets his first love and old friend, Emperor Yoonjae, again. Constantly sparks forbidden heat between himself and the cruel emperor, Daeshin. Tries his best to please the ever unimpressed beta, emperor Dohyun and becomes rivals with the pack's omega, the treasured emperor Jinseong. One by one, each of the emperors fall under the influence of his love shot and what began as a selfish means to live turns into a love shot that intoxicates them all. When the truth surfaces, Yeon must choose: his life…or the emperors he was meant to destroy. ††††††††† “Gods” the heat of the alpha’s breath fans his face. “Are you still scared, little duck?“ Emperor Kihyun asks with his hand holding up Yeon's chin. “No” Yeon breathes out. Intoxicated as much as his ’prey’ was. “You should be” Kihyun says and claims his lips for a hungry kiss. Yeon knows the rest of the pack are watching but he doesn't care, he loves it, he owns them all. All five of them. Content warning: Morally grey characters you will get addicted to. Don't dive in if you can not handle the heat ;⁠-⁠)

Surviving The Beast World With My ‘Sassy’ System

A luxury-obsessed modern woman, Lavayla Kingsley, wakes up in a brutal beast world with nothing but her pajamas, her tote bag… and a mouthy system that roasts her more than it helps. At first, she was sure it was a dream — clinging to denial. But that illusion shatters the moment she stumbles across an abandoned beast baby in the forest… right as a monstrous python slithers in to make it a snack. Lavayla — who has only ever witnessed violence through a screen — does the most human thing possible: she panics, and saves the kid anyway, at the cost of her life. That one reckless, heroic, absolutely-what-were-you-thinking act binds her fate to the Beastworld forever… because the baby she rescued just so happens to be the nephew of one of the fiercest, most powerful, and most desired Beastmen on the continent. And now? That terrifying uncle wants to know who the strange human woman cradling his bloodline is. Now she’s stuck juggling a sarcastic survival system with questionable morals, a beastbaby who somehow counts as her “first mission,” territory wars, beastman politics, and man-eating creatures. But Lavayla Kingsley is nothing if not stubborn — and if the universe thinks dropping her into a savage world with no good food, no proper shelter, no shower, no proper clothing, no wifi, and no will to live is enough to break her? Hell fucking yes it is! Someone get her out of here, please!
