Attending the ten-year high school reunion for the cheerleading squad and football team, I arrived in an old domestic Ford, while the parking lot was filled with Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Maybachs, and even a gold Bugatti. It was as if I were the only relic from another era. The moment I stepped out of my car, a former classmate, whose name I could no longer remember, looked at me with a sneer. “Well, if it isn’t the coach’s pet. How is it that after all these years, you’re still driving this beat-up old Ford?” “This thing looks like it belongs in a scrapyard from the last century!” During dinner, everyone gathered around the Bugatti owner, raising their glasses in celebration, while I was left ignored at the side. Only the cheerleading assistant sat next to me, raising a glass in my direction with a comforting smile. “Don’t let it get to you. Your car may be old, but I believe you’ll be driving a luxury car one day.” I let a small smirk curl at the corner of my lips and lowered my voice. “This car may look unimpressive, but it’s been fully upgraded with a carbon fiber body. It’s already worth over half a million dollars. Too bad, none of you even recognized its true value.”

I had been married for eight years when I inherited a fortune worth hundreds of millions that my grandfather left to me and my mafia boss husband. However, just as the lawyer was finalizing the transfer, we discovered my marriage certificate was fake. That meant the entire inheritance could only go to me. “Ms. Rivers, according to the system, you were divorced a year ago. Your husband, Zayn Levine, is legally married to… Whitney Sanders. According to the papers, you're single. In other words, Mr. Levine has no right to claim the inheritance.” Whitney, the woman Zayn had once loved before she went abroad, the one he never forgot. I stared at the lawyer’s message, unable to accept it. All of Zayn’s affection and tenderness over the years had been nothing but a lie. I had planned to tell him on our anniversary that after eight long years of marriage, I was pregnant. It was the miracle we had both been waiting for. Yet it seemed like he had never really been looking forward to it at all. As I gently rested my hand on my belly, I told myself that even if my twins grew up without a father, they would be just fine. In this place built on nothing but lies, the only thing left for me to do was run away.

Alex a cru que lui et Marie formaient un couple heureux, que leurs cinq années de mariage étaient la preuve de leur bonheur. Cependant, lorsqu’il est allé à la mairie pour refaire son certificat de mariage, endommagé par du café, il a été choqué de découvrir que le système indiquait qu’il était « célibataire » et que l’époux de Marie était un autre homme, Célian. Cette découverte a révélé une vérité cruelle : Alex avait surpris Marie et Célian dans une situation intime, et Marie lui avait demandé pardon sous prétexte de « chercher un substitut », allant même jusqu’à faire du chantage en menaçant de se suicider. Lorsqu’il a appris que Marie était déterminée à « ne jamais lui laisser découvrir la vérité », Alex a perdu toute foi en elle. Désormais brisé, il a pris la décision de disparaître. Il a effacé son identité, changé de prénom, et est parti, déterminé à tout oublier.

Just because I forget to bring my mate's lover back—leaving her alone in the wilderness for three hours—he flies into a rage and throws me into an abandoned well in the desolate countryside. "You need to experience the torment that Belinda was put through." The well is deep and narrow, forcing me to curl up in my wolf form. I struggle to breathe. I plead for mercy and beg for forgiveness. However, all he does is tell me off icily. "Stay there and repent for your sins. You'll only understand the dignity required of a Luna once you learn your lesson from this." He orders his men to seal the well with a large boulder. I let out anguished howls and roars as I claw my way upward. However, I only fall back down over and over again. The walls of the well are covered in my claw marks. I continue like this until I can't make a sound through my parched throat. … Half a month later, my mate's heart softens when he sees the birthday gift I've prepared in advance for him. He decides to end my punishment. Unbeknownst to him, worms and snakes have already gnawed my body beyond recognition at the bottom of the well.

Das Silberdorn-Wolfsbane zerstörte mich langsam. Es gab nur ein Gegenmittel: das Wunderelixier. Doch mein Gefährte Leo Ashford kaufte es und gab es meiner Adoptivschwester Jane Smith. Er glaubte, ich würde meine Krankheit nur vortäuschen. Ich gab jede Behandlung auf und schluckte ein starkes Schmerzmittel, das mich in drei Tagen töten würde - Organversagen. In dieser Zeit gab ich alles auf: die Pelz-Manufaktur, die ich von Grund auf aufgebaut hatte, überließ ich Jane. Meine Eltern lobten mich, weil ich so fürsorglich war. Ich bot an, die Gefährtenbindung zu lösen - Leo lobte mich für meine Vernunft. Als ich meinem Sohn sagte, er könne Jane „Mama“ nennen, rief er glücklich: „Meine neue Mama ist die Beste!“ All mein Erspartes ging an Jane. Niemand fand das seltsam. Alle waren zufrieden mit meinem „besseren Verhalten“. „Viola ist endlich nicht mehr so schwierig.“ Ich fragte mich: Würden sie es bereuen, wenn ich nicht mehr da bin?

Within the halls of Golden Feather Academy, wealthy stepsiblings Tanya and Leo, bound by family but not blood, hold court as the institution's dual reigning icons of popularity. As the holiday break ends, the queenly Tanya sets her sights on the newly elected Student Council President, Logic—son of the nation's president. At the grand ball, her calculated allure meets only his icy dismissal. Stung and pride inflamed, she makes a reckless wager with her notorious playboy stepbrother, Leo, who has just slipped into her bedchamber under cover of night: if Leo can seduce and shatter the seemingly incorruptible, iron-willed heterosexual scholar Logic within one month—turning his arrogance to ashes and his reputation to ruin—she will grant him the one thing he's craved for years: a night in her bed. The libertine Leo, who believes his charm can conquer anyone except the elusive Tanya, acknowledges the formidable challenge of making Logic fall in love. Yet, brimming with audacious confidence, he accepts, plunging them all into a twisted game of seduction and vengeance. However, as the month draws to a close, a chilling realization dawns on Tanya: not only has she been denied the sweet venom of revenge against Logic, but she may have irrevocably lost the mercurial, ever-devoted Leo—the brother whose affections she'd always held in a delicate, dangerous dance of veiled dominance—to the very heart he was supposed to destroy.

After my fiance’s childhood friend found out I was born with a heart condition, she secretly poured a high-dose energy drink into my champagne. The moment I drank it, my heart started racing, and stabbing pain spread through my chest. In a panic, I tore open my only emergency medication, but the water I used to take it had been swapped with strong lemon water. As soon as I drank it, my face went pale. I lost all strength and collapsed to the ground. “Lemon water’s full of vitamin C. It helps with hangovers and keeps you healthy.” Charlotte Whitmore laughed so hard she nearly doubled over. With her arms crossed, she looked at my fiance, Ethan Cross, the boss of the Rolling Stones. “Ethan, your fiancee’s acting is incredible! “I’ve been a doctor for years, and I’ve never seen anyone react like this to a little champagne and lemon water.” I bit my lip until I tasted blood. The pain made my eyes sting, and I clutched Ethan’s leg. “Honey, please, call an ambulance! I can’t take it anymore…” For a moment, his expression wavered, but the guests quickly cut in. “Come on, stop pretending! Nobody dies from a bit of champagne and lemon water.” “Yeah, you’re just jealous Charlotte got promoted and didn’t want to toast to her.” Ethan’s face turned cold again. He yanked my hand off and stepped away. “Charlotte’s a doctor. You’ll be fine with her here.” I stopped begging and texted my father asking for help

Seungyoon, a freshman who enters college filled with dreams of a sweet, drama-like romance, falls in love at first sight the moment he meets Jihui, a girl from the same department. However, to Jihui, Seungyoon is practically invisible—so insignificant that she can’t even remember his name. The only men Jihui finds attractive exist inside BL webtoons. Real-life men don’t interest her at all, and she feels no romantic spark toward them. As the campus sweetheart, she has already rejected countless confessions from male students. Like the others, Seungyoon can only admire her from afar—until one day, he unexpectedly runs into Jihui in the department lounge. Watching her excitedly chat with BL characters on her laptop rather than acknowledging his presence, Seungyoon feels deeply hurt and makes an impulsive, drastic decision. “I… actually… I’m gay!” At that very moment, the classroom door swings open, and his words echo loudly— “Gay~~~!” Seungyoon accidentally comes out in front of everyone. Realizing there’s no turning back, Seungyoon quickly understands one thing: If you can’t avoid it, act it out—survival depends on it. With his childhood best friend Chanyoung, he ends up pretending to be a gay couple. Ironically, this makes Seungyoon the very type that catches Jihui’s attention. As they spend more time together, the once-invisible Seungyoon slowly begins to win her heart. But as Chanyoung continues the fake relationship to support Seungyoon’s love life, an unintended love triangle begins to form. With a lie that can no longer be undone, emotions intertwine, misunderstandings pile up, and deception breeds deception. How will this absurd and complicated triangle of lies and feelings finally come to an end?

To prevent the merfolk from being slaughtered, I decided to go ashore and seduce my childhood friend Cyrus, who had become the Alpha King. He still loved me deeply, and we spent three passionate days and nights together in bed. Waking up from a haze of pleasure, I hadn't even had the chance to rejoice before a corrosive elixir was dunked over my head. Listening to my pained wails, Cyrus smirked. "So even an immortal mermaid can feel pain, too? "Well, this is just a taste of what's to come if you don't tell me where my parents are!" Yes, he was convinced that the merfolk were behind his parents' disappearance. From then on, I was forced to watch him flirt with his mistress, Emily; had to extract my mermaid pearl to help heal her body; was forced to dance barefoot to entertain Emily so that she could sleep… Cyrus hated every fiber of my being, yet always held me tenderly in his arms whenever I was on the brink of death, carefully feeding me medicine. Sometimes, he was cruel. "Do you think I'll go easy on you just because I love you? Quick, continue torturing her!" Sometimes, he was gentle. "Can't you be good and tell me where my parents are?" Silently, I endured his twisted love without a word. Soon, however, these days would come to an end, and I wouldn't have to keep that secret any longer. After all, a mermaid who did not return to the sea after three years on land… Would turn into seafoam. And now, there were only three days until my time was up.

I'm Isa Borgia, the daughter of the most powerful Don in Corvina. My father worries I'll marry the wrong man on a whim, so he arranges for me to be engaged to Luca, the rising heir of the Marino family. It's an arranged marriage, but that doesn't mean I've lost all my say. The very least I can do is choose a ring I genuinely like. So, I go to the mafia auction. When the diamond ring appears as the final jewel of the night, I lift my paddle. Just before the gavel falls, an arrogant voice comes from behind me. "A country bumpkin like you thinks you can compete with me? Do yourself a favor and leave." The auction hall goes quiet for a few seconds. The only sound comes from the camera shutters clicking around the hall. I turn and see a woman in a gold couture gown. Her mouth curves in a casual smile, as if she owns the place. Before I can say a word, the auctioneer rushes to close the bid. "Sold! Congratulations to Ms. Sofia Lopez for winning the final lot, the Eternal Star!" My brows pull tight, and a hot spike of anger rises in my chest. "You ended the bidding early! Do you even follow the rules here?" Sofia turns around and gives me a once-over, her gaze sharp as a blade. "Rules?" She lets out a cold laugh. "Come on. I'm Luca Marino's favorite godsister. Around here, I make the rules!" I can't help but laugh. What a coincidence. So, she's my fiance's godsister. I pull out my phone and call him. "Luca, your godsister just snatched the engagement ring I picked out. How are you going to handle this?"

En nuestro séptimo aniversario de bodas, yo estaba montada a horcajadas sobre mi esposo mafioso, Lucian, besándolo profundamente. Mis dedos buscaban a tientas en el bolsillo de mi caro vestido de seda, buscando la prueba de embarazo que había escondido allí. Quería guardar la noticia de mi embarazo inesperado para el final de la noche. El hombre de confianza de Lucian, Marco, preguntó con una sonrisa sugerente en italiano: «Don, su nuevo canario, Sofía. ¿A qué sabe?». La risa burlona de Lucian vibró contra mi pecho, enviándome un escalofrío por la espalda. Él respondió, también en italiano: «Como una fruta verde. Fresca y tierna». Su mano todavía acariciaba mi cintura, pero su mirada estaba distante. «Que esto quede entre nosotros. Si mi Donna se entera, estoy muerto». Sus hombres se rieron con complicidad, alzaron sus copas y juraron guardar silencio. La calidez en mi sangre se convirtió en hielo, centímetro a centímetro. Lo que ellos no sabían era que mi abuela era de Sicilia, por lo que entendí cada palabra. Me obligué a mantener la calma, manteniendo fija la sonrisa perfecta de una Donna, pero la mano que sostenía la copa de champán temblaba. En lugar de montar una escena, abrí mi teléfono, encontré la invitación que había recibido unos días atrás para un proyecto privado de investigación médica internacional, y toqué «Aceptar». En tres días, desaparecería por completo del mundo de Lucian.

"Para investigar la verdad detrás del asesinato de su madre, Liam Sánchez ocultó su identidad y trabajó como taxista. Durante uno de sus viajes, tuvo un encuentro casual con Sofía Reyes, una hermosa y poderosa CEO. Años más tarde, Sofía apareció con su hija, Valentina Reyes, para casarse con Liam y confiarle el cuidado de la niña, mientras ella se enfocaba en salvar su empresa en declive, Grupo Visión. Liam, quien sentía un gran cariño por Valentina, juró protegerla. Sin embargo, los padres de Sofía, ignorando el grave ataque de asma de la niña, la encerraron en una habitación, poniendo su vida en peligro. En el momento crítico, Liam llegó y rescató a ambas. Mientras tanto, el padre de Liam —el hombre más rico del país— se enteró de la existencia de su nieta y organizó una gala benéfica para conocerla. Allí, el prometido por conveniencia de Sofía, de la familia Delgado, la humilló repetidamente. Justo cuando Liam estaba a punto de estallar, el magnate apareció para defender a su familia. Humillados, los Delgado se aliaron en secreto con los Reyes para arrebatarle las acciones de Sofía. Pero Liam ya había movilizado a los grupos empresariales más influyentes en su apoyo, y el magnate reveló públicamente su parentesco con él, dejando a todos atónitos. Los Delgado y los Reyes no pudieron hacer más que arrepentirse."
