❝She was just a girl trying to survive. He was never supposed to care.❞
In the underbelly of Trilen Country—a place where justice is weak, and corruption runs deep—twenty-year-old Elishia lived an unremarkable life. Orphaned, broke, and trying to build a future through community college, her biggest worry used to be making rent.
Until one night, she was taken.
Dragged into a world of human trafficking, underground auctions, and mafia power games, Elishia finds herself branded as property—waiting to be sold to the highest bidder. But when a violent explosion shatters the auction and chaos erupts, she's saved by the last person she expected: a trafficker with blood on his hands… and something strange in his eyes.
Now wounded and on the run, Elishia must navigate a world of shifting loyalties, buried secrets, and the blurry line between captor and protector. Can she survive long enough to reclaim her freedom? Or is she already entangled in something far more dangerous?

Written in a way that is (hopefully) fandom blind friendly!
Violet Evergarden finds herself taking an unexpected assignment as a handmaiden for Miss Isabella York while she attends a prestigious women's academy. It's a far cry from Violet's typical work writing letters and made more complicated by the secrets they must keep.
This story is a re-imagining of the movie Violet Evergarden: Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll. It explores what might happen if Violet walked a different path and eventually reciprocated Amy's feelings. The story will go beyond their time at the school and expand on the adversity they have to overcome if they want to be together.
(Adult chapters are optional and in the extras)

Born in a world where mana defines everything — power, status, even existence — Aizen Caelmir was born with none. Labeled a failure, ignored by his noble family, and discarded by society… he should’ve been broken. But the world forgot one thing: Not all power comes from mana.
Enrolled in the elite Zenrai Academy, Aizen must navigate elemental exams, rival prodigies, masked cults, ancient bloodlines, and a growing darkness that no one sees coming.
Between cold rivals, stormborn queens, and friends with secrets of their own — his journey has just begun.
He’s not here to prove himself.
He’s here to break the system.

"And what do you know about harmonizing?" Xiao Yue looked at him as if he had just spit on her ancestor's grave.
"Me? I'm the CEO of the Inner Dao. I have a Master's in Spiritual Synergy and a triple Ph.D. in Multitasking Cultivation, with honors in 'Qi Optimization Under Pressure.' Should I show you my resume, or would you prefer a PowerPoint presentation on my celestial achievements?"
Kenji Tanaka was a Japanese CEO with the soul of a spreadsheet: cold, analytical, and completely allergic to improvisation. He died like any good executive: from an excess of meetings.
Now, he's Lian, a nobody in a world of cultivators, dragons, absurd sects, and spiritual manuals that take ten lifetimes to read.
Martial talent? Zero. Ability to shatter mountains with a single blow? Nil. A master plan to turn chaos into a celestial startup, KPIs and all? Absolutely.
They are the unstoppable force.
He is the guy with the plan, the tea, and the to-do list.
While his harem of martial geniuses smashes armies as if they were piñatas, Lian optimizes formations, improves techniques, manages internal conflicts, and turns alchemy into a production line.
He doesn't fight, he doesn't scream, he doesn't cultivate like a madman. He outsources the violence.
Because cultivating like crazy is optional, but leading with efficiency is mandatory.

Elena had always believed in the slow burn — the kind of love that simmers quietly, steadily, and eventually boils over into something unshakable. That’s what she thought she had with Marcus. Six years, three apartments, a shared Spotify playlist, and one very stubborn golden retriever named Luna. Their life had been built piece by piece, like a quilt. Cozy. Familiar. Safe.
Until it wasn’t.
Suddenly, her world is torn apart as the Marcus' phone screen lights up with a message from another girl. Through heartbreak and pain, the world continues to turn.
Then came Rowan. He was the new baker in town, with flour on his jeans and a crooked smile that tugged at something she thought she’d buried. He learned her rhythms. Her silences. Her laugh.
One night, under a sky full of stars and the gentle hum of crickets, Elena looked at him across the porch and asked, “How do you know when something’s real?”
Rowan leaned back, eyes reflecting moonlight. “When it doesn’t need to hurt to be worth it.”
She reached for his hand.
And just like that, the wildflowers bloomed again.

After a tragic accident that sent her back 843 years in time to the year 1179, in the Middle Ages, during the reign of Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, Kate Mitchell, a wealthy business tycoon in the pharmaceutical industry, a gifted ex-military, a pharmacologist and botanist, and a brilliant archer from 2022, wakes up as Lady Philippa, a pretty, innocent, frail, and proper young lady of House Antioch, with whom she shares nothing in common. She realised she had died on that day, and her soul travels back in time and takes over the body of Philippa, a helpless lady who would face tragedy, betrayal, and scandal before dying young and heartbroken.
She chose to live as Philippa because she had a second chance at life and only one goal in mind: to live and survive at any cost. To succeed, she must thrive and learn to live in the Medieval era, where nothing is common for her, and, above all, she must avoid an arranged marriage, which will doom Phillipa to death after a terrible heartbreak.
Lady Philippa, unfortunately, is about to be engaged to an unknown man, and she must devise a plan to prevent this from happening. Kate's background as an ex-military officer, pharmacologist, and botanist, as well as her limited knowledge of history, will be invaluable in surviving the historical mediaeval times when modern technology was out of reach. However, she requires the assistance of the reigning king, Baldwin IV, who is suffering from leprosy at the time. She'll have to take control of the situation. It is up to Kate's bravery and intelligence to find a way to persuade Baldwin IV to help her, and she has few options other than joining his royal court.
Will the king accept her, or will she perish as the body's original owner? Will she be able to change her destiny? Alternatively, will she be able to find the love and family she seeks?

“You made me miserable.”
My husband, Carlothian, loved the saint of the empire.
After the ugly jealousy, what remained was the stigma of cursing the saint.
It happened when I gave up everything after so much regret.
“So the body I’m possessing is the villainess of the century who cursed the saint?”
Oh come on, Not me. A singer who lost their voice in a car accident, ‘I,’ opened my eyes. With a body that could no longer sing, I intended to die just like that.
“I won’t let you die.”
My husband, who once loved the saint, is acting strange. Why now?
I am not Ariadeline who was drowning in love.
“What on earth are you thinking?”
“I’m thinking of making you love me again.”
Unlike my confused self, Carlothian smiled.
“You already loved me once.”
Since you already loved me once, won’t loving me twice be easier?
The teary sound filled the room thickly.

I entered my favorite romance-fantasy novel, which I have read many times.
Thanks to the body of a wealthy commoner, I bought the status of a fallen aristocrat, attended a noble family’s gathering and observed the romance of the characters in the original novel.
I wanted to return to the real world after witnessing the ending. But somehow, even after the ending, I was not freed from the body I possessed and remained living in the original novel.
As a result, I acquired the stories behind the scenes that I refused to comprehend.
My favorite sub male lead, Caelus, has died. Living impoverished in the original work without him, I eventually fell ill and died. Now, I wanted to return to reality.
However, the irony of fate has returned me to the end of the novel overnight. This is definitely… to save my beloved, right?
