Follow IG: @cahyaniputeri95 ●●●●● Dewi thought marrying Topan—the coldest young CEO in all of Florentia—would mean a life full of rules and piercing stares. And she wasn’t wrong. The man is strict, unpredictable, and makes her heart work overtime every single day. But behind his icy attitude and that deep baritone that always sounds angry, Dewi starts noticing things she never expected: small gestures, rushed touches, and quiet protectiveness that slowly turns her world upside down. Just when their marriage begins to warm up, a storm from her family hits hard. A hidden truth about her parents is revealed. Merry is not her father’s biological daughter. Old affairs resurface, and divorce threatens to tear Dewi’s family apart. Before Dewi can breathe, Topan’s past shows up at their door—Marinka, the ex-fiancée who once ruined his life. And then there’s Ryuji, Topan’s older brother… the man from Dewi’s own dark past. The man who left her years ago for a model. Brotherly conflict, the Sagara family’s chaos, anger, miscarriage, and the fear of losing each other slowly eat them alive. Can Dewi and Topan keep holding on… when the world keeps pulling them in opposite directions? ......... “As long as you’re my wife, I’ll protect you. Whatever it is, just be honest with me. I’m here… and I won’t leave.” “Why don’t we just separate?! Why?! Don’t force something that’s already broken from the start!” .........

The 30-Day Ruin

Seraphina has spent years as the perfect, invisible wife to billionaire Alexander Thorne, only to be discarded the moment his first love, Elena, returns. But Seraphina isn't the fragile socialite Alexander believes him to be. When he hands her the divorce papers, she doesn't beg. Instead, she makes a singular, chilling demand: give her thirty days of "true marriage" before she signs. Alexander agrees, viewing the contract as a small price for his freedom. He expects a month of desperate clinging; instead, he finds himself ensnared by a woman who is suddenly more captivating, more intelligent, and more elusive than the wife he ignored for years. As the days tick down, Alexander’s indifference turns to obsession, and then to a terrifying realization; he is falling in love with a woman he is about to lose. On Day 31, Alexander wakes up ready to tear up the divorce papers, only to find the mansion empty. Seraphina has vanished, taking every trace of her existence with her and leaving Alexander’s life and his heart in ruins. The hunt takes Alexander across the globe, stripping away his arrogance as he discovers the truth: Seraphina is a powerhouse in her own right, with wealth and influence that rival his own. She didn't need his money; she needed her dignity. As a dangerous past resurfaces and an unexpected pregnancy raises the stakes, the two are forced into a reluctant alliance. Alexander must prove he has changed from a man of possession to a man of protection. To win her back, he will have to sacrifice his empire, confront a shared enemy, and learn that the only contract worth signing is one written in trust, not ink.

The CEO’s Miraculous Bride: Her Secret Oriental Touch

“Sign the contract, Elena. Your mother lives, but your life belongs to me.” Elena Lin was at the bottom of the abyss. Her father was framed for medical malpractice, her family estate was seized by the Blackwood conglomerate, and now, her mother lay dying on a hospital bed she couldn't afford. In a moment of desperation, she uses a forbidden technique from her family’s ancient scrolls—the Phoenix Needle—to save a dying elderly man in a parking lot. She expected a thank-you; she didn't expect to be cornered by the man’s grandson, the terrifying Alexander Blackwood. Alexander is a man of ice—literally. Stricken by a mysterious affliction that Western doctors call a "nerve disorder" but Elena recognizes as a lethal Yin Curse, he needs a miracle. He offers Elena a deal: Marry him for one year, act as his personal "stabilizer" through her mysterious touch, and he will pay for her mother’s surgery and help her clear her father’s name. But there is a catch: Alexander is the man who signed the order that ruined her father. Inside the cold, gilded halls of the Blackwood Mansion, Elena must play the role of a submissive "trophy bride" by day, while secretly using her oriental arts to dismantle her enemies by night. As she navigates high-society galas and corporate assassinations, she discovers that Alexander’s "curse" isn't a disease at all—it’s a spiritual attack from a hidden world she thought only existed in her father’s legends. As the needles fly and the Qi flows, the ice around Alexander’s heart begins to melt. But when the truth of the past is revealed, will Elena’s healing touch be enough to save the man she was supposed to hate? A story of ancient pulses, modern hearts, and the secret medicine that can heal anything—except a broken heart. To save her mother’s life, Elena Lin sold her soul to the man who destroyed her family—never imagining that her "forbidden" oriental arts were the only thing keeping the cold-blooded CEO from a supernatural death.
