The Side Character: I'm not the Female Lead

I was nothing special. A shut-in. A chubby, ordinary girl who blended into the background like a shadow. Easy to ignore. Easier to mock. The world never ran out of ways to remind me I didn’t belong. Cruel jokes in hallways. Laughter that followed me home. Words sharper than blades, carving deeper than bruises ever could. Bit by bit, I shrank into myself until there was nothing left but silence and the weight of my own loneliness. That night, I decided I’d had enough. The chair creaked under me. The rope swayed above. My room was still, suffocating, as if the world didn’t care whether I breathed or not. And maybe it didn’t. Then—music. It came from the neighbor’s stereo, muffled through the thin walls. A single voice cutting into the darkness. A voice that shouldn’t have reached me, but did. Strong. Raw. Alive. It wrapped around me like a hand pulling me back from the edge. The lyrics told me not to hide my light. That even if it flickered, it still burned. I gasped, stumbling from the chair, clutching my chest as though those words had physically struck me. Tears blurred my vision, but for the first time in forever, they weren’t from pain—they were from something I thought I’d lost. Hope. That voice saved me. His voice. Eric. The lead singer of AUREA—the boyband that would one day become gods in the music world. To me, he wasn’t just an idol. He was my lifeline. And then . . . years later, when he died, the world mourned. I mourned. The one who saved me, the reason of my life, was gone, ripped from life far too soon. I thought it was over. But fate had other plans. One desperate wish, one shattered night, and when I opened my eyes—I was ten years in the past. Before the world knew AUREA. Before Eric was swallowed by fame. Before his voice was silenced forever. I’m just Emy—ordinary, clumsy, and invisible to most. But this time . . . it’s my turn. Eric saved me once. Now, I’ll save him. No matter what it takes.

Interstellar Beast World: Winning the Villain’s Heart with Cubs

Yue Yue was once the precious White Jade Snake female of her primitive beast world. She was pampered, adored female and practically treated like a rare treasure. But the moment she opens her eyes… BAM! Her home was gone, the forest was gone, and there were no familiar beastmen running around half-naked. Instead... People are flying in the sky without wings. People are talking to glowing bracelets. People are living in giant metal buildings that look like angry mountains. Yue Yue wants to go home immediately. Unfortunately, fate laughs in her face. She finds out she has actually transmigrated… and not as some powerful heroine, but as an F-level female who is infertile and has F-level spiritual healing, basically treated like a useless accessory that can be thrown away anytime. From “Most Cherished Treasure of the City”...to “Garbage Female.” What kind of karmic debt is this!? Just when she’s ready to sit down and cry, a cold mechanical ding! rings in her head. A system? Yes, she got a system...but not the good kind. This system wants her to save villainous beastmen, the ones who are on the path to becoming degenerated, uncontrollable monsters. They are cruel, bloodthirsty, evil, and absolutely the last people she wants to babysit. Even worse, she only survives by completing the system’s ridiculous tasks. Yue Yue’s reaction: “I’m a snake, I only know how to slither! Why me?!” Now she must fight for survival, cure villains, avoid getting eaten by polluted beasts, and somehow prevent the interstellar world from collapsing...all while trying to figure out how this bizarre place works. A useless female? A forgotten character? Ha! Watch Yue Yue shake the entire galaxy. ~ Excerpt: Yue Yue didn’t know what was happening. One moment she was quietly trying to escape from this strange place, but suddenly a huge shadow appeared in front of her. A very big, very long, very black shadow. She slowly looked up...and her soul almost flew out of her body. A giant winged serpent hovered above her; its scales were darker than night, and its violet-black eyes swirled as if they could swallow the world. Its wings beat once, sending a blast of wind that nearly threw her off her feet. Before she could slither away, The snake hissed at her. His stare was so intense she felt like her tiny snake heart stopped beating. Her voice came out shaking, trembling and almost squeaking, “B-Brother… we’re the same species, okay? C-Cannibalism is… very bad. Very, VERY bad!” The serpent blinked. Then, right in front of her eyes, his massive body shrank, twisted, and transformed into a dangerously handsome beastman. A very tall, black-haired, violet-eyed, and exuding the full aura of “I can kill you with a glance.” Yue Yue gulped. He looked down at her and picked her up. It is as if she were a fruit he found on sale. “What are you doing?! Put me down! I’m not edible!” He didn’t even respond. He simply opened the pocket on his strange suit...and dropped her in. Yue Yue flailed inside like a trapped dumpling. “W-Wait! Wait, wait, wait! Am I being kidnapped!?” Her life was over. She had officially been abducted by a psychopath serpent in human clothing.

My Lost Omega [BL]

All that Axel has left after his first love are hot, blurry summer memories… And a son, left on his doorsteps, while the young male omega who birthed the kid vanished into thin air. Barely an ‘adult’ himself, Axel would have struggled as a young single father, if it wasn’t for the help of his own parents, who supported him through the whole ordeal, making sure that neither he nor his son were ever lacking anything, be it love or money. Five years later, he’s a fresh college graduate, starting a job at his parents’ company, while his son - growing healthily and happily - is attending kindergarten. Despite his parents’ insistence, Axel is reluctant to date again, afraid of another heartbreak, but mostly out of worry about how his potential partner would treat his son, if they were to have any more children together. Secretly, he’s hoping to find his lost omega - for his son who’d want to meet his ‘daddy’, if not for himself. As he is going about his daily life, a cute barista, a male beta and the owner of a freshly opened coffee shop near his office, catches his attention. Will he move on from his lost love… Or is there more to the mysterious beta than he thought? ———————————— After sleeping with a cute alpha one hot summer night during his first heat, Elias’ whole life quickly fell into pieces. First the alpha disappeared in the morning, leaving not even a note as he returned to the city, but only the servants to chase Elias away, and then soon after, Elias discovered he got pregnant?! With his father in jail and his family dirt poor, how was Elias, still a high schooler, supposed to raise the kid himself? Out of options, he turned to the alpha’s family for help… Only to be threatened with his mother and elder sister’s jobs, if he doesn’t quietly hand the child away and disappear. What could have a young, powerless, poor omega such as himself do? Out of worry for his loved ones, Elias had no choice but to surrender to the demands. Five years later, he returns. With his appearance changed beyond recognition, his family safe abroad, faked gender, and a changed name, he opens a coffee shop near the company owned by the alpha’s family. His goal? Get revenge and get his child back… At least that was the plan. However, soon he discovers things won’t be so easy. How is he supposed to get his revenge without hurting his son in the process? …Should he just give up, and be happy with watching his child grow up happily, even if just from a distance? But what is he supposed to do when that wretched alpha, who had hurt him so much, makes his heart beat faster once again? ——————————— Elias: I’m no longer that cute omega you remember. Axel, kissing Elias softly on top of his head: You seem pretty cute to me. OMEGAVERSE BL

Shattered Vows: When the Luna Rises

Emma Thorne gave Declan everything—six years of devotion, a son she nearly died delivering, and unwavering loyalty as Luna of the Silverpine Pack. She trusted her husband with her heart and her best friend Josie with her family. That trust shattered the day she came home early and found them in her bed—her husband and her best friend, tangled in sheets that still smelled like her perfume. But the real knife to the heart? Her four-year-old son looking up at Josie and saying, "Mommy, can we have pancakes?" The divorce was brutal. Declan painted her as an unfit mother. Josie played the victim, claiming Emma was "unstable." The pack sided with their Alpha. Within weeks, Emma lost custody, her Luna title, and her reputation. Blacklisted across the shifter territories, she became a cautionary tale—the crazy ex-wife who couldn't accept that she wasn't enough. Broken and desperate, Emma fled to the neutral city to disappear. But fate had other plans. A small girl with copper curls and mismatched eyes—one gold, one blue—runs into her arms at a coffee shop, crying "Mummy!" Emma's never seen this child before, yet something in her soul recognizes the little girl. Before she can process it, a dangerous presence fills the room. Alpha Kendrick Vaughn—the notorious "Alpha of Shadows," ruler of the most powerful pack in the northern territories. Cold. Lethal. Untouchable. He's searching for his daughter, the child now clinging to Emma like she's the only safe thing in the world. "Who are you?" His voice could freeze fire. "And why does my daughter think you're her mother?" Emma has no answers. But as Kendrick investigates, the truth unravels: this mysterious child is connected to Emma in ways that defy explanation, and their meeting was no accident. Someone orchestrated everything—the betrayal, the blacklisting, even this impossible reunion. Now Emma must navigate a dangerous alliance with the ruthless Alpha, uncover the conspiracy that destroyed her life, and protect a child who shouldn't exist but might be the key to everything. And somewhere in the chaos, the mate bond she never expected snaps into place with a man who's sworn he'd never love again. Declan wants her back. Josie wants her destroyed. But Emma Thorne is done being the victim in someone else's story. The Luna they broke is about to become the Alpha they fear.

A Cinderella Story in A Cultivation World

[Two love interests, slow burn BL romance] Lee Wooyun had always been a fan of romance fantasy books and films, especially those set in historical times with kings and queens, dukes and duchesses, and the like. His friends were well aware of his obsession and recommended a book that had recently been making waves on social media. The book was titled My Charming Demon Lord. At first, Lee Wooyun was hesitant. Unlike the fantasies he usually read, which were often set in Western historical settings, this one was different. However, his friends assured him he would enjoy it. Not wanting to reject their gift, he decided to give it a try. That night, he found himself unable to put the book down, reading almost the entire thing in one sitting. "Those guys were right! It’s amazing! A Cinderella-like fairytale set in a murim/cultivation world? It’s too good!" He couldn't help but imagine how incredible it would be to take the female lead Han Seo-yoon’s place, starting from such a miserable beginning only to end up in the arms of the surprisingly sweet and gentle demon lord. I wish I could take her place. That night, as he drifted off to sleep, the book he had left open on his desk began to emit a golden glow. The pages flipped backward, returning to the very first chapter, and its contents began to change as well. The title My Charming Demon Lord pulsed with a piercing red light, and before Lee Wooyun could even react, his surroundings shifted. The next morning, instead of waking up wrapped in his expensive velvet duvet, the one he had spent hundreds of dollars on, he found himself in a dimly lit room, lying on a pile of hay and straw. His back ached horribly, like he had actually slept on a pile of hay and straw. "What in the world…?" he muttered, rubbing his sore muscles. "Where in the hell am I? And why does it smell like cow dung in here?!” *** This is the story of how a fantasy-genre enthusiast ended up inside one of the books he had wished for, without realizing just how dangerous that wish would be. "I guess it’s true what they say: Be careful what you wish for."
