Our cynical protagonist has woken up as a character of a popular manga in her world; The Story of Aron which had reached its end. Not just any random character though, she is transmigrated as the protagonist's pitiful mother at her infancy. After she changed her name thus creating her own identity, she is set on completing her mission and making sure that the story doesn't stray but still changing her character's fate as well as dealing with many issues. "My son, I will give you the life you never had."

Jiang Jiang is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhen’s household and the emperor’s personally appointed future Crown Princess. Later, she transmigrates into a book—a yuri novel—and becomes the fiancée of the older sister of the main female lead. It is said that their engagement was arranged only to fulfill her grandmother’s dying wish. In truth, the two women have no romantic feelings for each other. When Jiang Jiang meets her fiancée for the first time, the woman looks at her with an indifferent expression, impatience faintly hidden in her eyes. “I will marry you, but I will never love you.” Jiang Jiang obediently nods. She is familiar with this kind of arrangement. How many marriages between noble families are truly about love? She did not love the Crown Prince either, yet she still became Crown Princess. Ji Xu’an looks at her suspiciously, unconvinced by her meekness. — Later, Ji Xu’an realizes that Jiang Jiang is not disobedient at all—she is obedient to an excessive degree. At a hotel, a female celebrity slips into Ji Xu’an’s room. Jiang Jiang who should have been sleeping beside her was nowhere to be seen. With a cold face, Ji Xu’an drives the woman away. Only then does she see Jiang Jiang poking her head in from outside the door, looking at her with regret. Grinding her teeth, Ji Xu’an snaps, “Don’t you know someone was trying to get close to me?” Jiang Jiang blinks her almond-shaped eyes. “Don’t you like it?” Ji Xu’an’s expression darkens further. “Do you even have a heart? Aren’t you jealous at all?” Jiang Jiang hurriedly shakes her head. Jealousy is a grave fault! Besides, isn’t it the duty of a proper wife to help her wife take in a few beautiful concubines? She is already being so obedient—why does Ji Xu’an look even angrier? — Disclaimer: All rights to the original content belong to their respective creators. Original Name: 當古言女主穿進百合文 Author: 人间甜橙

“Take your clothes off. Kneel down... and crawl to me slowly.” - Dark Erotic Romance by Hojicha Writer

Spoiled by luxury and driven by ambition, Artemis—a young hitwoman—can’t seem to escape the shadows of a fractured world left behind by those who came before her. In cities made of neon-lit ruins and broken promises, she’s learnt to survive by cutting corners and making deals in the dark. But the interesting thing about survival, is that it always comes at a cost. And the further she goes, the messier it gets. As Artemis sinks further into a world of corporate corruption and underground schemes, she begins to realize she’s caught in the unfinished business of a forgotten war. A war with secrets so deep that even its echoes can still change lives, challenge loyalties, and threaten everything she thought she knew. But how long can she keep doing this? Running from the past—hers and everyone else’s? Now, with a buried conspiracy that’s been building for two decades starting to unravel, its consequences could reshape the future of the world itself. (This story is based on the Cyberpunk 2020 universe but is effectively its own.)

My Life as a Retail Worker follows Layla, a hardworking retail employee trying to survive the daily chaos of Pick Your Product—a struggling local store where drama, gossip, and management disasters are just part of the job description. When a strict new manager arrives with ruthless rules and a talent for intimidation, the fragile balance among the staff begins to crack. As tensions rise, alliances shift, and the threat of closure looms closer than ever, Layla finds herself caught between keeping the peace, protecting her co-workers, and holding on to the job that keeps her afloat. Told with humour, heart, and sharp observations about working life, this story explores what happens when ordinary people are pushed to their limits—and whether teamwork, resilience, and a little rebellion can save more than just a store.

She has never lost a case. Not because she defends the innocent— but because she understands something no one else does: Truth can be constructed.

The crime is undeniable. Even the man believes he did it. There’s only one problem. He remembers nothing. Not a blur. Not a mistake. A perfect, unnatural void. As Hae-in begins to dismantle the case, she uncovers something far more terrifying than guilt— A mind that didn’t break… but was used. Because this isn’t just a murder trial. It’s proof that a human being can be turned into something else— …and never remember becoming it.

The year was 2002. In a hospital in Seoul, a four-year-old girl was rushed into emergency care after being struck by lightning. Although doctors performed immediate surgery, her chances of survival remained slim. The girl lay unconscious in her hospital bed for a long time. However, when she finally woke up, nothing was the same as before. Her name was Go Nau Rin, meaning 'Warm Rain from Heaven.' Just like her name, she was truly lovely—one who grew up giving love to others and being deeply loved in return. Now, children call her a monster or a witch, and even adults look at her with eyes full of resentment and fear. Yet, no emotion ever flickers across her face. She never cries—she only laughs. It is hard to tell if she is truly void of emotion or simply a very skilled actor. Some call her a demon. Others see her as an angel, a pillar of strength to lean on. Her life was never as peaceful as a gentle, warm rain. Instead, it was filled with days as fierce and wounding as a violent storm. But just as the sky clears and the sun rises after a heavy downpour, moments of light and beauty continued to exist in her life.

[A Year of Grace- Book 1] Nyxara When I woke up cold, leaning against a tree in the woods, I wondered if there were a few details I wasn't told by the angel who sent me here. It wasn’t long before the brothers I had lost in my past life found me—right as I was trying to find my way out of the woods. They brought me home to the parents who weren’t dead. Since I didn’t get this world’s Nyxara’s memories, I’m claiming amnesia due to trauma. When I was given the choice between redoing my own life or being sent to an alternate universe, I chose the second option. I didn’t want to deal with the shattered remains of my past. What I wasn’t told? While this is a very different life, some people from my old world are still making my life hell in this one. And now, they might have fangs, mind powers, or claws. I’m not the me in my last life, and I’m not the me of this life. So… who am I? On that note, what in the world is an alpha, beta, or omega? Looks like I have a lot to learn—and fast—if I want to graduate from the Sentinels of Accord Academy, let alone survive in a world filled with supernatural beings. It's a new exciting world just waiting for me to claim my place in it. Top 3 in the end of year competitions looks like a good start. This year is going to be amazing.

Seraphine Elion was raised to follow duty; born to a bloodline of soldiers whose loyalty ran deeper than love. Callum Virell was groomed for power, heir to the wealthiest business empire in the country. Their fathers as sworn siblings, they promised each other's child in a marriage neither wanted. Six years ago, Sera broke the engagement to pursue love on her own terms. But fate has a cruel sense of irony—when Callum kneels to propose to another, it's Sera who stands before him instead.

In a world where legacy trumps choice, and desire simmers beneath cold glances and quiet dinners, can two broken souls find something real in a marriage neither chose?

Based on the tale told before us, Medusa was a beautiful maiden who was seduced by Poseidon in a temple of Athena. Such a sacrilege attracted the goddess' wrath, and she punished Medusa by turning her hair to snakes. Then, the Greek hero Perseus beheaded Medusa, and he used her head, which retained its ability to turn onlookers to stone, as a weapon until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield. However, the truth was far more complex. Poseidon had attempted to seduce Medusa and failed; he then forced himself upon her. Her lover at the time, the powerful goddess Athena, saw that Medusa had fallen to the seduction of men, and in her wrath, she cursed Medusa by turning her hair to snakes. Athena then kicked Medusa out, far from her temple and home. Medusa met Perseus, but he did not kill her. Instead, he was given an artifact by Medusa that would help him on his journey, and Medusa chose to disappear from the earth.
