They were supposed to never cross paths again— One is a cold, sharp-tongued magazine editor. The other, a once-viral vlogger crushed by scandals. When a “no romance, just marriage” post brings them together online, sparks fly fast. But offline? Surprise— You’re that person?! A fake marriage to solve real problems. Living together was not part of the plan. Catching feelings? Even worse. They swore they’d never fall in love again. But life—and love—has other ideas.

A law professor hiding his origin. A student who falls for him. And one secret that ties them both to the Marino name. Falling in war. Jace Marino lives two lives. Respected law professor by day, mafia heir by blood. He swore he’d left his family’s world behind, until a quiet student named Julian Pole walks into his class and turns everything upside down. Julian thinks he’s just fallen for the wrong man until he discovers the truth. Jace isn’t just his professor. He’s a Marino. And now Julian’s caught between love, lies, and one of the most dangerous families in New York

“I’m done.” With those two words, top-tier Alpha Emma ended her three-year relationship with Omega perfumer Gu Liang—coldly, decisively, even after marking him during her heat. But the man she abandoned wasn’t a fragile lamb. Beneath Gu Liang’s quiet demeanor slept a lion. He built First Heart Capital from the ground up, and with ruthless precision, brought Emma and her family’s empire to its knees. To survive, Emma was forced to sign a marriage contract with the very man she once discarded. Their union wasn’t built on love—it was a battlefield. As they navigate early labor scares, business storms, and the chaos of daily life, Emma begins to see the depth of Gu Liang’s pain—and the strength he’s always carried. And Gu Liang, in turn, finds himself thawing in the face of Emma’s clumsy but sincere attempts to make amends. When hatred fades and love rekindles, they rebuild a home from the ashes. But just as peace settles in, Emma’s love reaches its most painful, most profound peak—when she learns the truth about Gu Liang’s lonely childhood. So she makes a choice: To travel back in time. Not to change their fate, but to be there for the boy she could never reach.

What happens when the universe forces the worst person you know to rewrite the story of someone who vanished twenty years ago? Benny Ford was never the hero of anyone’s story. He’s loud, bitter, and proud to be everyone’s nightmare. He steals candy from kids just to watch them cry, ignores pregnant women on trains, and curses out old ladies for walking too slow. He used to dream once. He was a figure skater, chasing medals under cold arena lights…until life humbled him. So he quit. Now he does makeup for people who still believe in spotlights. He hates his boss. He hates his coworkers. And, honestly? He probably hates you too. But everything changes the day he finds a diary….Confessions of a Cunty Freshman. The private journal of Russell Reyes, a college student who lived twenty five years ago. Russell’s life is everything Benny ever wanted but never had: friends, freedom, parties, dreams, love….. Unfortunately, Benny crashes his car… and wakes up not in a hospital bed, but in Russell’s body. Twenty five years in the past. Now he’s living a stranger’s life without knowing how the story ends (because, of course, he never finished the damn diary.) Russell went missing at the end of freshman year. And his body was never found. Every wrong move could push Benny closer to Russell’s fate. And if the universe doesn’t like him tampering with the past? Benny might vanish too. It’s freshman year all over again…. the stakes are life or death. Now he has to survive college, blend in with Russell’s four hot hockey roommates, and a mystery that’s been frozen in time. Somehow, amid the chaos, one person keeps pulling him in….Ryan, the captain who looks at him like he’s both a stranger and a ghost. Will this be the one chance for the nasty, self centered gossip queen to finally rewrite his own and Russell’s story? Or will the universe also erase him for good?

Alexandra had it all. She was beautiful, brilliant, and endlessly talented—a voice that could move an audience, and the gift of music flowing from her fingertips. At school, she was top of her class, surrounded by loyal friends and blessed with a boyfriend who was as charming as he was devoted. Everything was picture-perfect. But perfection is fragile. Behind Alexandra’s polished world lies a past she never speaks of—a history marked by shadows she cannot fully remember, and wounds she has never truly healed. And somewhere deeper still lies something older, something buried across lifetimes: the echoes of a past self whose fate was written in blood and sacrifice. Now, as the flawless veneer of her present begins to fracture, Alexandra finds herself haunted—by dangers that reach for her in the dark, and by truths she has long tried to forget. Her world gleamed in gold, yet every light hides a shadow. The shadow that followed her was drenched in blood—bleeding through and through, until past and present were no longer apart....

At All-Race Academy, where the most gifted youths of the Three Realms gather, one name reigns supreme—Fox Lian. Silver-haired, violet-eyed, and dangerously charming, he’s the walking embodiment of every fluffy fantasy. Except to Emma. A top student from the divine clan, Emma suffers from a rare condition: an uncontrollable fear of anything fluffy. Fox ears? Tail? Decorative pompoms? Instant panic. But when her best friend falls head-over-heels for Fox Lian, Emma is forced to infiltrate the fan circle… and pretend to be one of them. Her plan? Stay close, stay calm, and never touch anything soft. Her reality? A growing obsession with Fox Lian’s accessories, a mounting pile of fluffy “research samples,” and a dangerously perceptive fox boy who seems to enjoy teasing her more than anyone else. What begins as a survival strategy soon spirals into a slow-burn psychological comedy of fluff, fear, and forbidden fascination.

After three years of marriage, when her husband's first love suddenly returned, Emma Carter was extremely shocked. Finally, she realized that all the sincere feelings she had for him over the years were now just like a river flowing away. "Emma, the Carter family has been bankrupt for a long time. Do you still think you are a noble lady? You are a weakling who can't do anything." Her mother-in-law scolded. "Emma, has my brother ever valued you? After three years of marriage, he hasn't even touched you." Her sister-in-law's voice was sarcastic. Emma was desperate; it seemed like everyone took her husband's infidelity for granted. Obviously, she did nothing wrong, but she was the one who was hurt the most. She realized that her biggest mistake was choosing to marry this heartless man. When she decided to file for divorce, he looked annoyed: “Emma, stop joking. I’ve treated you well enough.” She just coldly replied: “Daniel, aren’t you going to sign the divorce papers?” Finally, when Emma held the divorce papers from the court in her hand, she felt like she was reborn, and the atmosphere around her became fresher. She officially had a new life. “Emma, you will regret leaving me.” He angrily spat out harsh words before leaving, but Emma didn’t bother to look up. When everyone thought she would fail miserably, Alexander Knight–the famous, cold, and taciturn CEO–suddenly hugged her tightly, his voice warm and comforting: “Emma, do you have a household registration book? Let’s go register our marriage?” The entire upper class was shocked: How could Alexander Knight, a single man, marry a woman who had been married? But only Alex knew that for this chance, he had waited for her for twelve years.

Crown Prince Gu Lian was born brilliant—admired by all, his path seemingly carved in stone: ascend the throne and protect the realm. With a loyal general, A Lie; a peerless strategist, Ai Miao; and a fiancée hailed as the capital’s most beautiful woman, he was the perfect heir in the eyes of the world. At age ten, the arrival of Murong Che, a hostage prince from a neighboring kingdom, disrupted the calm like a stone cast into still waters. Gu Lian quickly noticed that Ai Miao, his deep-thinking advisor, paid this heterochromatic youth an unusual amount of attention. To Ai Miao, Murong Che was a flawless “creation”—a vessel to mold, a key piece in a bloodless conquest. But when Gu Lian realized his dreams were haunted not by his fiancée, but by Ai Miao, his life veered off course. On a stormy night at fifteen, stripped of pride, he begged: “I need your love, Ai Miao! I want your mind—so full of empire and ambition—to hold space for me, Gu Lian!” The Emperor and Empress, alarmed by the prince’s dependence and forbidden affection, issued a secret decree. Under the guise of “greater ambition,” Ai Miao was exiled to a foreign land, leaving behind a cruel misunderstanding: a silent departure that shattered Gu Lian’s heart. Five years later, Ai Miao returned triumphant. The prince he had mentored now sat as a puppet monarch; the neighboring kingdom was all but dissolved. But what awaited him was Gu Lian’s frozen hatred, the imperial couple’s silent threats, a scandalous trap of seduction—and a chasm between them that seemed impossible to cross. Misunderstandings, schemes, jealousy, and the weight of duty loomed large. Gu Lian was forged into a blade by pain; Ai Miao clung to his original vow in silence. Until an unexpected aphrodisiac incident ignited everything—burning away their masks. In the collision of desire and truth, they confirmed with their bodies the loyalty and longing that had never faded. “I’ll be your bedmate,” the once-proud prince whispered, stripped of all dignity, eyes burning with obsession. “Just don’t touch anyone else—man or woman. Ever.” And Ai Miao, the master tactician, finally lowered every defense. In the overwhelming tide of pleasure, he saw his heart clearly: All the flawless plans, all the legendary victories—none compared to holding this man. From wary tests to life-and-death trust, from heartbreak to reunion—they must face courtly daggers, imperial pressure, and the tangled mystery surrounding a diplomatic princess. Together, they will purge the rot within and beyond the palace. This is an epic of growth and guardianship. Witness a cold strategist who plots each step for love, with devotion that cuts to the bone; a young crown prince who clings to emotion and carves out a golden age. Two mighty souls, bound to each other alone. Watch them break every chain and write a royal legend unlike any before—at the very peak of power, side by side.

They say love can be arranged. But what happens when the heart isn’t ready? Felix Moretti grew up knowing his future was already written — an arranged engagement to the aloof, powerful CEO Matteo Romano. Bound by family ties and expectations, he stepped into Matteo’s world with quiet devotion, hoping love might grow where duty began. But Matteo never looked at him the way he hoped. Cold. Distant. Untouchable. Until the night everything changed. After a violent attack shatters the illusion of safety, one sacrifice leaves Felix unconscious and Matteo spiraling. And when Felix opens his eyes six months later… he doesn’t remember the man who once meant everything. But the heart has its own memory. And some love stories are destined to begin twice. Matteo must learn to be vulnerable — not a protector from the shadows, but a partner in the light — or risk losing Felix forever.
