THE PROXY HUSBAND

At just twenty-four, Harper Thorne is the heiress to Ashford Industries, but power comes with a deadly price. With her parents gone and her ruthless uncle, Clark Thorne, circling like a vulture, Harper must fight to keep her family's legacy. According to her late father's will, she has ten days after her twenty-fourth birthday to get legally married, or she will lose control of the company forever. Emotionless. Calculated. Desperate. Harper needs a husband fast, someone quiet, unthreatening, and easy to disappear when the time comes. She finds her answer in the kitchen of a luxury hotel: Jay, a soft-spoken, kind-eyed chef. She offers him five million dollars to marry her. No strings, no questions, just a signature. But Harper’s carefully built plan is a lie built on a bigger lie. Because “Jay” is actually Julian Rhodes, the reclusive billionaire CEO of Titan Enterprises and one of the most powerful men in the country. He’s been silently investigating Clark for years, and Harper’s offer gives him the perfect excuse to infiltrate her world and bring down his target. What begins as a fake marriage evolves into a high-stakes game of secrets, control, and unspoken emotions. Harper thinks she hired a shield, but she unknowingly invited a predator into her home. If the world discovers Jay's real identity, Harper’s empire will crumble. But if Julian fails, Clark will destroy everything, and Harper’s life may be the price. She paid for protection. She got a man who plays by no one’s rules but his own.

With This Ring, I Loathe You—Yes, I do.

Ava Summers is the perfect daughter: CEO material, straight-A student, and the only Summers twin with a functioning frontal lobe. She’s survived nineteen years of sharing air and eyebrow genes with Eva — a walking fire hazard who once tried to toast marshmallows on scented candles and nearly set the estate ablaze. So when their parents arranged a marriage to Zeke Ford — the kingdom’s favorite golden boy and serial flirt — Ava reluctantly took one for the family. That is, until Eva pulled a fast one: she spiked Ava’s margarita, slid a shady contract under her nose, and next thing you know… Ava’s waking up married to the wrong twin. Enter Zach Ford — the kingdom’s coldest man alive, walking gloom cloud, and accidental husband. He hasn’t cracked a smile since his mysterious fiancée, Orihime, died under suspicious circumstances. The Ford family thought Eva’s chaotic sunshine might fix him. Too bad they accidentally married him to Ava: a neurotic perfectionist who schedules emotional breakdowns like business meetings. Now Ava has to: Pretend she's totally in love with her emotionally constipated husband. Survive polite society, royal gossip, and unwanted foot rub offers from Shen Wang — her rich, clingy, disturbingly hot suitor who thinks “No” is short for “Not yet.” Figure out if Orihime is actually dead… or just hiding better than Zach hides his feelings. It was supposed to be a PR move. Instead, it’s a rom-com with fake love, real secrets, one stolen car, and at least two murder mysteries. With This Ring, I Loathe You—Yes, I Do: A chaotic enemies-to-lovers rollercoaster with tax fraud, unresolved trauma, and a love story that may or may not be court-admissible—because honestly, I am still in shambles on how to finish this novel without breaking me own phone screen or my heart. Let's see HAHAHA

Beneath the Sunshine Mask

Sera Kim is everything the campus adores: bright, cheerful, and impossibly warm—a living “Sunshine” whose laughter fills the halls of Seorim University. But the girl everyone sees is only a mask. Beneath the warmth and playful charm lies Seraphina Vale, a brilliant, cold, and calculating young woman who has already graduated early from another college. Every choice she’s made, every step she’s taken, has been for one purpose: Julian Lee. Julian is the young, stoic, and enigmatic economics professor whose perfection commands respect and inspires awe. He is disciplined, sharp, and untouchable—but Sera has loved him openly for years. Unlike ordinary crushes, her affection is fearless and unapologetic—so visible that everyone on campus knows, yet so profound that no one can truly understand its depth. In her final year, Sera no longer hides behind subtle admiration. She expresses her love boldly, laughing in class, lingering near him, and letting the world witness her devotion. Julian remains unreadable, neither reciprocating nor rejecting, but his quiet attention keeps hope alive. Beneath the Sunshine is a story of love, identity, and courage—where the radiant persona of Sera Kim conceals the strength and depth of Seraphina Vale. It’s a tale of loving openly, pursuing relentlessly, and daring to stand in the light of someone’s gaze without fear. Will her unwavering devotion melt Julian’s cold exterior, or will it remain an unrequited passion that defines her final year?

True Heiress Cuts Ties, The Marquis Household Bitterly Regrets

When Zhaozhao was ten years old, she was brought back to the Marquis household as the true daughter. Her parents doted on her, her brother was close, and even the fake daughter treated her with warmth. Zhaozhao once thought she was dreaming, and she treated them with all her heart. Until they personally sent her into the Tomb Guard City, a place that devours people whole, she realized she was merely brought back to exchange and protect the fake daughter. For five years in the city, the Marquis household ignored her. They let the sons of nobles from distinguished families use her as a punching bag, abusing and beating her, leaving no part of her intact. She died in despair the day before she was to leave the city. At the moment of her death, Zhaozhao awakened. — A hundred years ago, the ghostly gate opened, and the Ghost King led thousands of ferocious ghosts out of the underworld to wreak havoc on the world. She was originally King Yan of the underworld, descended to experience trials due to dereliction of duty. Once Zhaozhao opened her eyes again, The world changed colors, and she held the Book of Life and Death, transforming into King Yan to claim lives. Judging good and evil, slashing enemies. Once she gathered eighty-one evil souls and captured the Ghost King, she could return to her position. — On the day she left the city, the Marquis couple and her brother came personally to pick her up. Zhaozhao didn't even glance at them, turning to get into Prince Su's carriage. Her parents cursed her as an ungrateful ingrate, and her brother sneered that she would come crying back to beg them. Later, all of them knelt on the ground, crying, begging her to return home. Zhaozhao watched coldly. She would no longer want anything tainted. — Prince Su was born shrouded in Evil Qi, and anyone close to him would either die or be injured. Everyone thought he would be lonely for life. He had a delicate young lady by his side. She appeared to be pitiful and charming, but was ruthless and decisive behind the scenes. Once she absorbed the Evil Qi and gathered the evil souls, Zhaozhao planned to pat her butt and leave. Prince Su's eyes reddened, saying, "Zhaozhao, take this prince with you!"
