The storm's anchor

​TITLE: THE STORM'S ANCHOR Male X Male. ​To the world, Eliot Huang is the perfect Anchor—beautiful, untouchable, and tragically fragile. Trapped in a gilded cage of public adoration and manufactured gratitude, his mind is held hostage by a man who claims to be his only savior. But beneath the mask of a vulnerable superstar lies a terrifying truth: Eliot is no ordinary Anchor. He is a once-in-a-century existence whose true, devastating power is locked away behind a wall of psychological manipulation. ​Qiu Dingjie is a Shadow bound by instinct and fierce loyalty to protect him. Forced to watch from the sidelines as the person he cares for most is slowly poisoned by a fake savior's gaslighting, Qiuqiu is a predator waiting to strike. He is willing to tear down the world to free his Anchor, but he soon realizes that the hardest battle isn't fighting the enemies in the shadows—it is breaking the invisible chains wrapped around Eliot’s own mind. ​In a world where unseen spiritual frequencies dictate power, and silent wars are fought in the dark corners of the glittering entertainment industry, nothing is as it seems. Watched over by a quiet fourteen-year-old observer who records every shifting resonance and buried secret in her notebook, a deadly game of survival has begun. ​The storm is rising. The pieces are on the board. And the only one who can anchor the chaos is the very person the world convinced was broken. ​Will the Butterfly realize its own strength before the velvet cage turns into a grave?

The Study Contract

It all started with that one proposal, a deal-turned-bait pulling him into something dark, yet irresistible and inescapable. ____ Ryan Kane is mixed-race, poor, and worst still, in a university where everything screams "silver and gold". He thinks his scholarship and education are his only way to a future better than his present. But this guy's grades aren't helping matters as he keeps juggling between lectures, attendance, and part-time jobs. The lower his grades get, the closer he is to withdrawing, going back to his deadbeat of a father, and having a life with nothing. Well, he absolutely doesn't want a reality like that, and to avert that, his only option was getting a tutor. Ryan’s desperate enough to ask Adrian Val. On campus and to everyone, Adrian is the perfect, well-behaved, brilliant heir to a top conglomerate family. While in private, he is a possessive, manipulative jerk who does a lot of unimaginable things. When Ryan proposes tutoring to him, Adrian offers that he pay with his body instead. To him, Ryan can't afford his time and knowledge with just his measly bucks. Ryan says yes to the offer, and along the line, he falls heavily for Adrian. But even when Adrian rejects his confession and treats him like a toy way worse than before, Ryan doesn't leave. He wants the tutoring, the intimacy, the sex, his persistent feelings for Adrian, and the tiny hope that Adrian's heart may steer towards him. It gets even messier when Adrian’s friend Liam enters the picture. Liam is calm, kind, and actually cares about Ryan, but he holds back his feelings to keep the peace. Then there is also Chase, a rich troublemaker who openly flirts with Ryan. Trapped in a dirty cycle of sex, love, and heartbreak, everything Ryan had and held dear to him came tumbling gradually. And by the time he realizes the depth of it, it is too late. Too late to even hold onto anything. Only to be caught between three powerful men who all want a piece of him for different reasons. ____ Years later, the campus gates are closed and Ryan has built a life for himself away from the shadows of Westhill. But his new career brings him face to face with the man that once broke him... Graduation was only a temporary escape This story contains #slowburn #toxic #drama #psychological #heavy and detailed smut scenes #red flag top #trauma #obsession

(BL)Capturing Blue

In the quiet corridors of an ordinary high school, Kin is the kind of boy everyone admires. Gentle, attentive, and effortlessly charming, he carries a reputation for kindness that makes teachers trust him and students adore him. To most people he seems almost perfect—handsome, soft-spoken, and warm. Only one detail unsettles those who look too closely: his eyes. They are dark, bottomless things, like empty space where light disappears. For years Kin has lived carefully behind that pleasant mask, patiently observing the people around him while searching for something only he seems to understand—a color he calls the “perfect blue,” a spark of happiness in someone’s eyes that he has never quite been able to find. Until the day he notices Sute. Sute is everything Kin’s polished world ignores. Quiet, withdrawn, and endlessly bullied, he drifts through school like a ghost no one wants to acknowledge. At home things are even worse; the boy is trapped in a life of neglect and cruelty, his parents treating him as if he were something disposable. Yet once—just once—Kin catches sight of Sute smiling, and in that fleeting moment Sute’s icy blue eyes light up with a brilliance Kin has never seen before. To Kin, that color becomes an obsession. Soon after, Sute vanishes. The police believe he has been kidnapped, launching an investigation that quickly spreads through the town and the school. Flyers appear. Teachers whisper. Students speculate about what kind of monster could have taken such a fragile boy. But the truth is stranger than any rumor. Sute was not taken. He was thrown away. And Kin was waiting. Behind the locked door of Kin’s quiet home, far from the cruelty Sute once knew, the boy begins a new life as the captive of the one person who ever noticed him. Kin calls what he did kidnapping, fully aware that the world would see him as a criminal. Yet Sute, for the first time in his life, finds warmth there—warm meals, clean clothes, careful hands tending to his wounds, and someone who watches him as if he is precious. Grateful and overwhelmed by the affection he has never known, Sute makes a vow that surprises even Kin himself: if this is captivity, then he will devote his life to it. To Kin. To the person who saved him from a world that never wanted him. But love built on obsession is fragile, and happiness that grows in secrecy rarely stays hidden forever. As detectives begin to close in on the mystery of Sute’s disappearance, other dangers begin to surface—people whose curiosity, desire, or cruelty threaten to expose the delicate life the two boys have created. Kin, whose gentle reputation hides a far darker nature, is willing to do anything to keep Sute by his side… even things that cannot be forgiven. Meanwhile Sute, once a victim of abandonment, finds himself tangled in a bond that is equal parts devotion, dependency, and something disturbingly close to love. In a story that blurs the lines between protection and possession, innocence and obsession, two broken boys attempt to build a fragile world of their own—one where happiness exists only as long as no one breaks down the door. But when the outside world inevitably comes searching, the question becomes impossible to ignore: Is this a rescue waiting to happen… or the only home Sute has ever truly wanted?

The Cat between us

The Cat Between Us Xu Jin, a reckless second-generation young master, runs away from his wealthy family in a burst of stubborn rebellion. Determined to prove he can live independently, he buys an apartment, armed with nothing but confidence, a skateboard, and absolutely zero life skills. Meanwhile, Liang Chen, a gentle literature professor, lives quietly next door with his lively grandmother. Their home is calm, tidy, filled with tea fragrance and old books — the opposite of Xu Jin’s chaotic new life. Their paths collide in a pet shop when both try to buy the same white male kitten. A ridiculous bidding war ends with Xu Jin winning the cat, much to Liang Chen’s frustration. Neither realizes they will soon be neighbors — until moving day brings the shocking discovery that they live separated by only one wall. Xu Jin names the kitten Yunhu, and immediately learns that independence is far harder than imagined. He can’t cook, can’t clean properly, and now has a mischievous cat destroying his apartment. Next door, Liang Chen is endlessly annoyed by mysterious crashes, meows, and the unstoppable chaos leaking through the wall — yet secretly, he finds himself wanting to meet the kitten he cannot touch. As days pass, Xu Jin’s unhealthy eating and exhaustion catch up to him. One night, he collapses near his open doorway, too weak to seek help. Yunhu escapes to the corridor and scratches at Liang Chen’s door, leading the professor to discover the half-conscious Xu Jin on the floor. With his grandmother’s help, Liang Chen rushes the taller, delirious young master to the hospital in the middle of the night. Bound together by a white cat, thin walls, and an unexpected emergency, two very different lives begin to intertwine — setting the stage for slow healing, reluctant companionship, and a relationship neither of them saw coming
