Contract between us

MissMoonlightqueen
Synopsis: Signed in Ink follows Maya and Alex—two strangers brought together by a deal that was never meant to involve emotions. Maya, desperate to escape her controlling family and the future they’ve planned for her, agrees to a contract marriage with Alex, a man who initially needs a wife for legal reasons. Their agreement is simple: one year, no feelings, and no complications. What begins as a calculated arrangement quickly turns into something far more unpredictable. Living under the same roof, they learn each other’s habits, weaknesses, and hidden scars. Their fake relationship starts to look real—not just to others, but to themselves. Small moments of care, unspoken understanding, and unexpected jealousy begin to blur the lines they so carefully drew. As pressure from Maya’s family intensifies and Alex’s secrets come to light, the foundation of their agreement starts to crack. Trust is tested, truths are revealed, and the rules they created become impossible to follow. In a story where love was never part of the plan, Maya and Alex must decide whether to walk away as agreed—or risk everything for something real. Signed in Ink is a slow-burn romance filled with tension, vulnerability, and the question: can something that started as fake become the most genuine thing of all?

Plants vs Dungeon

When dungeon gates opened across the world, it became a gold rush. Hunters chased glory. Guilds chased power. Corporations chased profit. Phong Tran awakened as a Level 1 Farmer. No skills. No passives. A broken EXP bar that never moved. So he sold energy drinks instead. Leg warmers. Electrolytes. Power banks. If everyone else was digging for gold, he’d sell the shovels. Then Josh came. University golden boy. Gym-built. Son of a man who could erase problems with a phone call. “Protection fee.” Phong refused. He woke up in a hospital bed, beaten within an inch of death. His aunt and uncle were gone. No bodies. No investigation. No media coverage. Just silence. Then, as if the universe had a sense of humor, his system finally gave him a quest: Plant and harvest 10 potatoes in the dungeon. That’s it. No penalties. No forced missions. No ticking clock. No promise of justice. Just a choice. Phong takes it. The potatoes mutate. Then other plants followed. Chilies spit burning rounds. Sweet potatoes bulk up into blunt-force bruisers. Garlic turns chemical-warfare illegal. Enoki mushrooms rattle like dungeon-grade machine guns. His crops become his frontline. Phong doesn’t want to conquer the dungeon. He wants to build something inside it. A farm. A hearth. A settlement for people tired of being disposable. He won’t let revenge be the only thing he grows. Revenge lit the spark. But it won’t be the only thing he grows. And if the most powerful man in the city comes looking to finish what his son started... He’ll learn something the dungeon already knows. This farm fights back.
