Blood in the Hollow

When Rebecca Earl arrives in Hollows Edge, South Carolina, she is searching for a fresh start after the collapse of her marriage. The small town seems idyllic at first too idyllic. Everyone is friendly, polite, and almost unnervingly welcoming, but beneath the charm lies an unspoken current of secrecy. Rebecca accepts a position at the local clinic, where she works under the care of Dr. Greyson Edgeworth, a gentle old physician whose family name carries centuries of weight. But it is his grandson, Nathaniel Edgeworth handsome, enigmatic, and unsettlingly watchful eye who stirs feelings Rebecca can’t explain. The Edgeworth family built Hollows Edge, and though time has passed, their influence still pulses in every corner of town. When Rebecca begins renting a historic house on the edge of town, she discovers a shocking connection it once belonged to her grandmother, Tina Weatherman, a woman long whispered about but never seen again after she vanished from Hollows Edge decades earlier. The revelation deepens when Star Berkshire, the town’s gregarious realtor and café owner, hints that Tina’s name still lingers in records and that an estranged Weatherman brother, Thomas, still lives as a recluse nearby. As Rebecca digs into her grandmother’s disappearance, she finds herself entangled in a dangerous legacy, one that ties the Weathermans to the Edgeworths and binds Hollows Edge together with secrets buried deep in its soil. The closer she comes to the truth, the closer she drifts into Nathaniel’s orbit a man who may be her protector, her undoing, or both. In a town where every smile hides a story and every shadow whispers a warning, Rebecca must decide if Hollows Edge will become her sanctuary… or her grave.

The Imperial Princess, Life as a Divorce Lawyer

In a kingdom where matrimony beliefs stood at the pinnacle of everyday life. Bethel Green dares to open "The Cleaved Knot Legal Services," offering escape from brutal and broken marriages. But her radical mission stirs dangerous opposition, threatening her precarious new life. Bethel is no ordinary divorce lawyer; she's Princess Ophelia, the youngest imperial child from the powerful, distant Emeraldleaf Empire. Born into an ancient lineage founded by a magical clover that transformed a wasteland, Ophelia fled a nine-year marriage that brought her to the brink. Now, she fights for others' freedom, offering a chance where neither societal stigma nor the church would. Her desire is to change traditional laws, to reveal the harsh reality of marriage, and to spread this hope like wildfire across vast seas. One little problem... the type of cases Bethel will take on will more be than she could handle. A client request, no matter what status they uphold, will be a head twisting difficulty. As threats mount and her meager funds dwindle, Bethel must take a desperate gamble: hire Rupert, a disgraced former Sword Master and Knights Captain. Stripped of his hard-earned wealth and status after his sword aura was contaminated and his unit perished battling a shadow beast, Rupert—a survivor from a childhood of poverty and loss—is exactly the kind of desperate, skilled individual who might accept such an offer. He's a man willing to risk everything for a pittance and a roof over his head. After falling from two different heights in the world. Can this former princess and disgraced mercenary cleave the bonds of injustice without unraveling themselves in the process? ______________ Client 1: Please help me divorce from my dead husband! He been haunting our home for months! Bethel: Apologies, but I'm a divorce lawyer for the living... not a exorcist. Client 2: My wife has been writing letters to a nobleman, help me find out who he is. So I can challenge him to a duel! Bethel: If you have no interest in dissolving your marriage, please leave my office. Client 3: I need to stop my father remarriage! That woman is a snake! Bethel: ...Should I just start upping my fee for these ridiculous case... ______________ Arthur Note: I wanted to write a story involving divorces, where each character suffering reflects a possibility. Or even more so a frightening reality. There's plenty of stories, wedtoons, and mangas where the leading character is either isekai, time travel, or reincarnated. During a point where they are married on the verge of divorce. These interests me the most since every single piece of dirty laundry including where the bodies are buried being bought to light. Enough for my jaw to dropped off my face. But I want more... not a story arc than bang! Happy ending! I want someone to stand at the center of it all. That how Bethel Green was born, a young woman with her own past. Taking on clients seeking help, in a world where societal stigma may as well be a death sentence. I sincerely hope those of you enjoy this story. If not, that is fine, even though this doesn't end up being your cup of tea nor a stiff drink, hopefully you find one that does. Fair Warning: Not every chapter will be exciting. Especially with my far lower than average skills as a writer. But I will try to do what I can as a first-time writer. I will also try to keep them 1.5k words long. So excuse the two beginning chapters, since I'm satisfied on how they turned out. There won't be any daily or weekly updates untill next year in mid-2026 For now is only a 3 updates per month. Just to make a stockpile and refinement in editing

When netizens first saw Bai Yun appearing on the screen: “She’s yesterday’s news already, yet she’s still trying to turn things around? If she can do it, I’ll stand upside down and wash my hair.”Later, in an online drama, she was devastatingly beautiful and her dancing charmed everyone’s hearts.

Mr. Fu Regrets After Divorce

She had been married to Fu Ting for six years now, and her mother—in—law had been scolding her behind her back, calling her a chicken that cannot lay an egg. Yet little did she know that Fu Ting had never really fulfilled his role as a husband with her. She always knew that there was someone else in Fu Ting's heart— Miao Man. Mu Ran had been in love with Fu Ting for over ten odd years. It was until six years ago when she rescued Miao Man that Fu Ting allowed her a request. So, Mu Ran mustered her courage and mentioned that she wanted to marry Fu Ting. That was the thought she had when she first met him in high school. When the doctor initially diagnosed that Miao Man had no possibility of ever waking up again, Fu Ting followed on his promise and married Mu Ran. It was until that one day when Fu Ting came home with a cold look in his eyes. Manman is coming home, and you move out tomorrow. Mustering the last of her courage, Mu Ran spat. "And if I say no?" "Get lost." Fu Ting said succinctly. She could see the disgust and hatred in his eyes. So, it turned out that in their six years of marriage, all of the things she suffered and gave, they held no water compared to the long—lost moonlight of his heart. Taking off her oily apron, Mu Ran changed into a white dress, and when they met again, she was happy in the arms of another man. Yet, Fu Ting's expression was extremely cold. "You're already looking for another man so quickly after our divorce?" "That is my own matter, and has nothing to do with you, Mr. Fu, no?" She said with a smile.
