Romance

Rayan Lancel, the famous detective of Ruhi Empire, suddenly went missing one day. No, he wasn’t kidnapped. He just stopped showing up to his workplace. The reason?

He realized he isn’t him anymore.

Ann Mackenzie, now possessing the body of Rayan Lancel, thought it was too much of a headache to become a detective. So she, now he, decides to quit and go look for other jobs.

Until one day, a criminal breaks into her house and starts claiming what she thought was hers. Her new life, with a new identity, wasn’t as peaceful as she thought. As a whirlpool of conspiracy into the world of unknown drags her inside the mud she was desperately trying to escape, she must find out who she was, and has become, before more people keep dying.

The time that will bring them together.

Guided by the hand of fate, a random letter written under an alias, could its words lead two strangers, unaware of each other’s existence, toward an eternal union?

Alina was supposed to be a forgettable noble lady.

But she carries a big secret—she once lived in another world, and after dying of cancer, she woke inside her favorite novel.

Determined to rewrite the story, she sets out to save Isolde, the tragic heroine destined to suffer at the hands of the emperor. But when the empire strikes earlier than she remembers and the princess is captured, Alina’s plans unravel. To change fate, she must ally with the general, Isolde’s doomed lover, whose death she has already prevented.

What begins as devotion to a character twists into something far messier: loyalties tested, bonds she never imagined, and a future that refuses to stay on the page.

Alina thought she had to fix Isolde’s ending. Instead, she might be rewriting hers.

Long ago, a witch’s love made the empire flourish—yet her betrayal gave birth to a curse. Burned at the stake by the man she trusted, she vowed his descendants would never escape her wrath.

Three years after the destruction of Seraphin Village, a runaway girl named Aveline hides her past beneath a quiet life of labor. But when whispers of the Grand Duke’s household reach her, fate begins to stir once more. Drawn into the shadow of a bloodline bound by the witch’s curse, Aveline must choose between survival, truth, and a destiny written long before her birth.

Marlene was an ordinary office worker, with her usual routine: work, meetings, and endless coffee breaks.

That night, after going out with her friends to forget that her boyfriend had left her for her best friend, she decided to drink a little too much. Between laughs and drinks, she never imagined that an accident would change her life forever: a motorcycle crash would end her entire world… and her life.

When she opened her eyes, she was no longer in her city or her time. She had transmigrated to the novel “Among Hidden Passions,” a world full of intrigue, desire, and secrets she never imagined experiencing.

But there was a problem: she wasn’t the original protagonist, but rather the secondary villain Marlene Volkov, destined to disappear so the heroes’ love could blossom.

Then Kira appears, a system in the form of a talking cat, which grants her stats, skills, and missions like in a video game. Each completed mission unlocks hidden memories of the characters, revealing secrets, passions, and scars from the past that no one knows about.

Among the heroes and villains of this story are:

Dante Inovov, the proud prince with a lonely heart.

Max Smirnov, the protective and noble knight.

Adrian Blackthorn, the dark and dangerous villainous Duke.

Lucien Devereaux, the seductive and manipulative Marquis, another dangerous path.

Valeria Díaz, the original heroine and rival who will do anything to keep her place.

Now, Marlene Volkov must choose: follow her original destiny and die a villain, or use the system, conquer whomever she wants, and rewrite her own destiny, between love, power, and the hidden passion that surrounds her.

When the cursed bell tolls, someone dies.
This time… it’s coming for me.

I never believed the town’s legends—not until the night a crow dropped a thin metal strip at my feet with my name carved into it. Since then, every toll has brought frost-script warnings, eerie deaths, and a shadowed boy who appears out of nowhere… always right before things go wrong.

Callen Roe.
Bound to the bell. Dangerous, magnetic, impossible to trust.
And somehow always a step ahead of my fate.

Then there’s Ezra Quinn—my oldest friend. Steady. Safe.
Except lately he watches me like he’s afraid of losing something he never said out loud.
Jealousy is unraveling him, and I don’t know how to stop it.

As the debt ledger awakens and classmates start vanishing, I’m pulled—along with a handful of survivors—into a deadly game against the cult that forged the curse. The bell demands payment. The ledger keeps writing. And every new secret points back to me.

Caught between two boys and hunted by an ancient debt, I’m running out of time.
I have one impossible choice:

Break the ledger… or pay with my life.

“What does duty mean to you?”
Shackled by the Empire’s last flickering breath, the Princess is smitten by a hotshot rookie commander. Duty-bound, both of them learn to lead . . . together, or apart.

✧

Lay down the humble crown,
fight the war and kill the dove.
The Old Golems only frown
upon the ones who cannot love.

✧

Princess May thought the crown never fit her – she was too clumsy, too frail, too immature. But when a traitor kidnaps her only sister, she must leave the polished palace and chase a spy through the Empire’s darkest shadows.

Yjennka forged the start of his legendary military career, catching royal attention like a crack of thunder. Rising through the ranks, the Princess took him in as a top-tier bodyguard. But behind the accolades and Guard status, he must carry the weight of every soul lost under his command.

With secrets, scars, and the spy hunt unravelled, the duo’s paths intertwine. Together, they’ll learn how leadership binds them together – or tears them apart . . .

After being banished with nothing but the clothes on her back from the convent she grew up in, Helena finds a job in an eerie mansion with strange rules that bind her there indefinitely. Still haunted by the ghosts of her past and the scars of trauma, she clings to routine, asking for nothing more than a place to survive the winter.

But the mansion is far from ordinary. Despite the servants’ kindness, something about it feels like a coffin frozen in time. Screams echo through the night. The scent of blood lingers in the halls. The lord of the house keeps to himself behind locked doors. But when he appears, drawn by the sound of her piano, he looks at her with something deeper than curiosity. Hunger.

As Helena spends her days dawdling in the library, tracing melodies on the old piano, she feels the walls watching her like a beast ready to pounce.

Yet Helena doesn’t fear the man they call a monster, or even the threat of being swallowed whole by darkness—what she fears is the awakening of something she’s been trying to bury away before it takes the little peace and freedom she has found.

A low fantasy, gothic story set in an alternative era. A slow-burn, obsessive “who-did-this-to-you” romance wrapped in psychological horror, tender dread, and mature themes of trauma, hunger, and autonomy.

Seon was more than just an actor—he was Elena’s light in the darkness, the voice that made her heart feel less alone. She had never met him, never spoken his name in his presence, but his existence was enough to tether her to this world. Until the day he was gone.

The headlines scream his name. The world mourns, but no one grieves like Elena does. His death feels like an unbearable void, a wound that will never heal. The days stretch into an endless haze of sorrow until, one night, through a blur of tears, she closes her eyes… and wakes up in the past.

A year before Seon’s suicide. A year before the world loses him.

To the world, he is still a rising star, dazzling and untouchable. But now, Elena can see beyond the bright lights—the exhaustion, the loneliness, the silent weight pressing down on his soul. She knows how this story ends. And if time has given her this impossible second chance, she refuses to let him slip away.

But loving someone who stands on the edge of oblivion is like trying to hold onto a fading dream. No matter how much she reaches for him, the past is unyielding, fate already written in the stars. As she walks the fragile line between hope and despair, one question lingers—can love truly transcend time and space, or is she only delaying the inevitable?

A poignant tale of love, loss, and fate, Love You Across Time and Space explores the aching desire to change the past and the heartbreaking reality of those who carry the weight of the world alone.

Luck was never on my side. My life had always been gloomy and lonely. I lost everything—my job, my family. But then he stepped into my world of darkness. He became my light, my soulmate, the love of my life. He completed the puzzle of my existence. My one and only luck—Andrew.

Andrew –

She thinks I’m her luck, but only God knows the effort I put in to have her. She was someone I could never reach, a bright star shining far beyond my grasp. And yet, I wanted her. I wanted her so badly that I dreamed of holding her in my arms, day and night. People call me a maniac, a stalker, a psychopath. But to her, I am her one and only love— her luck.

❝She was just a girl trying to survive. He was never supposed to care.❞

In the underbelly of Trilen Country—a place where justice is weak, and corruption runs deep—twenty-year-old Elishia lived an unremarkable life. Orphaned, broke, and trying to build a future through community college, her biggest worry used to be making rent.

Now wounded and on the run, Elishia must navigate a world of shifting loyalties, buried secrets, and the blurry line between captor and protector. Can she survive long enough to reclaim her freedom? Or is she already entangled in something far more dangerous?
