Only Callum cares about her, even though they've only known each other for a week.

Knowing Callum's true intentions, Edith decides to start a relationship with him. But will their relationship continue to run smoothly? While Edith is traveling with her little family, she suddenly experiences a mysterious accident. She loses her son in the accident and suffers from amnesia. Five years have passed, and she still doesn't know who her daughter's father is. She only knows Cliff (her ex-fiancé from five years ago), who has been a constant source of support. Is Cliff her daughter's father? Whether it's a coincidence or not, when her daughter changes schools, she meets a boy who looks exactly like her. The boy was suspected of being her son who died five years ago. Furthermore, she was suddenly invited to meet with a man named Callum and asked to become his son's secret nanny and VIP designer. Callum deliberately pretended to think of Edith as a stranger to facilitate his plan. To this day, she still wonders who the killer who tried to kill them five years ago was. Ultimately, Edith accepted Callum's offer because she was also curious about Callum's true identity. Was Callum her daughter's father? And, will she fall in love with the CEO who is very possessive of her as time goes by? Or will she marry Cliff, who has helped her for five years?

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?

The night sky over the Eastern Base burned a deep crimson. Flames devoured the steel walls that once promised safety, while the screams of the dying echoed through the cold wind. The stench of blood mixed with smoke, and the ground was littered with the bodies of soldiers, civilians... and Zombies. Ashira Vale staggered through the chaos, blood dripping from the wound on her side. Her breath came in short, sharp bursts. Each step felt heavier than the last, but she didn't stop. She couldn't. She had fought too hard to die like this. Yet... she had been left behind. She turned around, slashing down a lunging zombie with trembling hands. The gate slammed shut right in front of her face as metal scraped against metal, sealing her fate outside. The people she once trusted, those she fought for, bled for, were gone. Not because they died. Because they left her. "You're too dangerous to keep around, Ashira." That voice still echoed in her mind, cold and sharp as the wind cutting through the smoke. Her teammates. Her so-called allies. The people who swore to fight beside her... had used her. And when she was no longer useful, they threw her away. She remembered the cold look in their eyes when the gate shut. The smirk on one of their faces. The whispered words that cut deeper than the wound in her body. Betrayal. That was her final taste of humanity. She stumbled toward a burning truck, the firelight reflecting in her bloodstained eyes. Every breath hurt, but the pain didn't matter anymore. The world had already ended. She glanced at the barricade she once guarded, now nothing more than twisted steel and burning corpses. The walls that once symbolized hope were falling apart, just like the trust she'd once had in people. The Eastern Base... the last stronghold of survivors. Ashira tilted her head to the sky, watching as smoke smothered the stars. Her lips curled into a faint, bitter smile. "So this is how it ends... for me." Her voice cracked as she looked at the horizon. "Even the end of the world, can't kill betrayal." She smiled bitterly. Her fingers loosened around her weapon as she sank to her knees. In her fading vision, the shadows swarmed closer—hundreds of undead closing in from every side. But just before they reached her, a faint light flickered before her eyes— like a broken screen glitching. [System initializing...] [User: Ashira Vale - detected fatal condition.] [Rebirth protocol activating.] [Returning to checkpoint: Nineteen (19) days before the outbreak.] Her heartbeat slowed. And as her body was swallowed by darkness, a final thought crossed her mind— a vow whispered between blood and regret. "This time... I'll change everything." ^^ REMINDER: This was another version of what you might think of about zombie apocalypse, This is all about survival with the help of power. Surviving is more than just staying alive. It's keeping your mind intact when the world's already gone mad. It's sleeping with one eye open trusting no one but still hoping someone's out there. It's learning when to run. When to fight and when to stay quiet enough when the dead pass you by. It's the constant battle between fear and hope knowing every day could be your last, but choosing to live is more than that...

"We have to get to the police station," Mom said, her voice shaking. "I'm trying!" Dad said, fighting to control the driving wheel. That's when I saw them in the rearview mirror. Two black cars were following us, getting closer and closer. "Dad, they're behind us!" I screamed. "I see them," he said, his mouth tight. He turned the corner so fast that our car went up on two wheels. I thought we were going to flip over, but somehow we stayed standing. "There!" Mom pointed ahead. "The police station!" But just as we got close to safety, something terrible happened. The turning wheel stopped working. "I can't turn!" Dad shouted. "They cut the steering cable too!" We were heading straight for a big tree at the end of the street. Dad tried everything, but the car wouldn't change direction. "I love you both so much," Mom said, reaching back to grab my hand. "I love you too," I said, tears running down my face. Then everything went black. ~ Betrayed. Broken. Forgotten.

[Mature Content] [Dark Themes] Catherine Lane had the perfect job in Midnight City, secretary to Ares King, the impenetrable billionaire bachelor, infamously known as the devil CEO.

"Because we work, Ms. Lane.” The last thing she wanted was to make a deal with the devil. But this offer is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Sell your soul to the devil for one year. How hard can that be? ***** "I think that's all..." My heart throbbed as I grabbed my pen. Here comes the hard part. "You're forgetting something, Ms Lane." "Hmm?" "We haven't looked over the special clauses." Special Clauses? Shit! I forgot about that. "The next page." I flipped the paper. Number one: The wife should under no circumstances fall for the husband. Should the wife breach this clause, all compensation shall be nullified and revoked. "Unfortunately, changes can't be made to that clause." I scoffed. Does he actually think I'd fall for him? "Understood. Emotional attachments should be prohibited."

From overworked corporate slave to… the fat niece of a future villain? At twenty-three, my life ended in the most ironic way possible—drowning in a lake while reading an online romance novel. When I woke up, I wasn’t just alive—I was inside that very novel. And worse, not as the princess or the healer or even the tragic maid. No. I woke up as Seraphine Agro, the silver-haired, chubby niece of the story’s main villain, Duke Tayler Agro—the man who would one day summon a famine, experiment on peasants, and get publicly executed. Awesome. Now I’m stuck in a half-collapsed mansion with stale soup, a broken “Duke” father who’s too kind for his own good, and an entire kingdom collapsing into plague and hunger. And to make things worse, the hero of the story—the dangerously handsome knight Sir Alex Canva—is on his way to inspect our lands. I know the plot. I know who dies. And I’m not planning to go quietly. Armed with sarcasm, stubbornness, and a questionable diet, I’m rewriting destiny—one disastrous choice at a time.

Silver Preston was supposed to be America’s next figure skating sweetheart—until a brutal injury shattered her Olympic dreams and left her stranded at Yale, miles away from the ice that defined her. All she wants is to stay invisible, to escape the suffocating grip of her former coach-mother, and to outrun the whispers that she’s finished. But Yale hockey isn’t quiet, and neither is Eli Hayes—the team’s captain, campus golden boy, and infuriatingly unreadable. To Silver, he’s arrogant, cold, and everything she swore she’d avoid. To Eli, she’s reckless, stubborn, and a distraction he can’t afford. Their worlds were never meant to collide—except the rink has a way of pulling broken people back onto the ice. When gossip turns cruel and secrets from the past threaten to destroy her for good, Silver is forced to decide whether she’ll keep running or fight for the life—and the love—she thought she lost. And as Eli battles his own demons under the unforgiving glare of NHL scouts, their fragile connection becomes the one thing that could save them both…or break them completely. Full of sharp banter, late-night study sessions, stolen glances at the rink, and the electric push-pull of enemies who might be more, this is a story of ambition, redemption, and the thin line between pride and passion.

Twenty two year old Fumiko goes to sleep rage-scrolling a “generic straight romance” otome game and wakes up inside it with a holographic HUD floating in front of her face. Title:Crimson Heirs of Everflame Player Character:Lady Fiametta von Ardentis Role: Villainess / Final Calamity Status: Terminally Ill (Irreversible) Genre:FIRE The body in the mirror isn’t her own: it’s the outrageously beautiful noblewoman destined to be the game’s last boss and most hated villainess. In the original *Crimson Heirs of Everflame*, Fiametta’s only endings were imprisonment, execution, or a beautifully animated death. Now, the system insists her illness is incurable even as she feels disturbingly healthy and the so called “FIRE” genre quietly explains itself: heightened emotions, irreversible consequences, and “reality bleed-through.” Worse, all the flags are wrong. The four powerful heroines who were supposed to loathe Fiametta now have their affection maxed out: * Crown Princess Seraphine , who announces their political engagement and clings like a devoted fiancée who would burn the world before letting Fia vanish. * Knight-Captain Elira, the empire’s sword, assigned as Fiametta’s personal escort. * Archmage Lyriel , whose cold logic melts whenever Fia’s name is mentioned. * Saintess Mira, the empire’s holy light, who prays for Fia with frightening intensity. In the game, they were routes Fumiko chased as a player. In this world, they are women who love Fiametta too much to let her go and perhaps too much to let her be free. Caught between a body marked by a terminal countdown, four heroines whose love already burns at maximum, and a system that treats reality like a script it can overwrite, Fumiko has to think like the gamer she used to be: * Map the routes in a world that no longer follows its own code. * Discover what “FIRE” really demands from its players. * Hack a fate labeled irreversible before the genre turns her life and the women who love her into ash. In a universe where love is fuel and every choice can ignite a catastrophe, the villainess of *Crimson Heirs of Everflame* must decide: Is she trying to survive her own story… or willing to burn with them, if that’s the only ending left?

When she is finally pushed to the breaking point, Crimson must decide what she fights for, and who she wants to fight alongside.

My boyfriend is a police officer who can defuse bombs faster than I can defuse mines in video games. And I am a lawyer trainee who lost his memory after a free first date explosion. Everyone around me said he and I were the perfect couple. Unfortunately, I looked at him like he was an alien, not even asking about his name, let alone a passionate love affair. But it seems like he's starting to doubt this "new person" of mine. Maybe because I used to be gentle and ladylike, but now... The other day, I held a glass of wine and "competed" with a bunch of thugs. He opened his eyes wide and said: "Hey... You know how to fight?" The other day, I carried a child's wooden gun, loaded it "clack clack" like a professional, and he turned pale: "You... You know how to shoot?" I scratched my head, bewildered: "Huh, do I just know how to cry?" He sighed: "I thought you were a useless lawyer." I also said to myself: "I also thought I was a useless lawyer!" So a "girly" lawyer like me suddenly received an email "falling from the sky" from some mysterious organization. "Thank you for your hard work in gaining the subject's trust, the next reserve fund has already been transferred." I was about to reply to the email when the sender's address disappeared without a trace. Then one day my bank account jumped to nine figures. I was completely frozen. This money... seems a bit wrong! It's definitely not the salary of a weak lawyer!
