Cheoson Era: Another Joseon for Me and my Friend

Fiery Jin-Hee, a Korean national, has just lost her job in Seoul after standing up to her misogynistic boss. Ally, her Angolan friend, is also jobless following an epic office altercation. Their dead-end lives take a sharp turn when a mysterious man sends them to the Cheoson Era, a parallel, Joseon-style kingdom defined by tradition, rumors... and gross misunderstandings. Forced into roles they don't understand, Jin-Hee becomes a noble minister's daughter and candidate for the role of Princess Consort. Ally, in the greatest irony, is designated the Sacred Oracle of the Prophecy, simply because her cellular phone is mistaken for a divine "Celestial Tablet." The friends' arrival disrupts Cheoson’s fragile balance and ignites a dangerous double romantic and political conflict: Ally is bound by prophecy to Crown Prince Yi Hyun, the guarantor of Cheoson's throne. However, she also captures the dangerous attention of the Young King of Goryo (the enemy kingdom), whose plan for invasion is threatened by his unexpected love for the Oracle. Jin-Hee, trapped by rigid court protocol, finds herself drawn to the sarcastic Royal Guard, Kim Ho, an officer who sees her for the intelligent outsider she truly is. Caught between court conspiracies, the imminent threat of war, and burgeoning passions, the two friends must use their modern knowledge to survive. But in this realm where love is as perilous as politics, who will Ally and Jin-Hee choose? And will their choice secure peace for Cheoson... or ignite a regional war?

The Last Godfall: Transmigrated as the Young Master

They call me Vencian Vicorra… third son of a noble house. A prodigy born for greatness. They couldn’t be more wrong. I’m Luke. I woke in his body, carrying his memories and his burdens… but none of his gifts. Without any magic or training and no clue how I even got here. A midnight ritual tied my life to a fate I never wanted... my family is falling apart under charges of treason, my engagement ended without a word from me, the court watches every move. And somewhere, my death is already written. To survive, I must do the impossible... wear the mask of talent and become the man everyone expects. I’ll learn to lie with conviction and find secrets worth killing for. But every secret I uncover drags me closer to a truth that could end more than my disguise. Fail, and I’ll lose the only life I’ve found worth living. Succeed, and I might discover what killed the real Vencian... and why my death may be the key to something darker. A slow-burn story of supernatural investigation, hidden schemes, and buried secrets, where every lie reveals a deeper truth. Behind noble courts and sacred cathedrals lies a world ruled by celestial laws and occult myths, where power demands the sacrifice of identity, and the fall begins long before corruption takes hold.

Bound to the Billionaire of my dreams.

Tani Zhani has loved the same man her whole life, the man who holds her in the dark, worships her body, whispers devotion against her skin, and promises to find her before she wakes. A man she has never met outside her dreams. Her nightly escape is the only sweetness in her shabby, lonely life… until fate throws her into the arms of the one man she thought only existed beyond the Veil. Lucas Rhezan. The beautiful, dangerous tech billionaire. Her dream lover, made flesh. For a while, he recognizes her… and then the light leaves his eyes. He looks at her like a stranger. To her, he is everything she has ever lost. To him, she is nothing at all. And yet, he wants her. He burns for her. He touches her with the certainty of a man who has loved her a thousand times. No memory. Only hunger. Tani becomes the secret woman in his life, his temptation, his weakness… his mistress. A role she never wanted. A place far too small for a love born across lifetimes. Because in every life, they’ve found each other and in every life, they’ve lost everything. Now love and memory are colliding again, and the old curse is tightening its grip. Tani must choose: Take the pieces of him she can have—his body, his kisses, his need? Or walk away from the man her soul remembers, rather than survive on crumbs of a love he cannot recall? Or fight, risking everything to make him remember, even if it destroys her. This time, desire is not their problem. Surviving it is.
