This is my first story. Very excited very nervous:) ********************** My doll deserves to be in a fucking dollhouse, so a dollhouse she gets. I clear my throat, trying to shake off the daze she's put me in."You know," I start, leaning forward with a smirk, "it's almost unfair how you make everything else in here look dull in comparison." She arches a perfectly shaped brow, amusement flickering in her eyes. "Flattery will get you nowhere." "Won't it?" I challenge, resting my chin on my hand. "Because if I keep going, I bet I can at least get you to blush." She scoffs, but the faintest hint of pink creeps up her cheeks. "You're ridiculous." "And you're stunning," I counter effortlessly. "So I guess we're even." ---------------------------- Iliana Lopez is a ball of sunshine wrapped in designer heels and razor-sharp wit. A self-made powerhouse, she built her empire with nothing but ambition, talent, and a refusal to take no for an answer. Rich, beautiful, and always the smartest person in the room, she has it all on paper. But beneath the effortless charm and biting sarcasm lies a past she'd rather forget. Zaden King: He built his empire with fire, knives, and an iron will. A world-renowned chef with restaurants across the globe, he's as brilliant in the kitchen as he is impossible to deal with outside of it. The epitome of a brooding, grumpy man but he wasn't always this way. Once a cheerful, playful child and a proud mama's boy, his world shattered the day he lost his mother. The tragedy marked a turning point in his life, steering him down a darker path filled with alcohol, wild parties, and girls. But even amidst the chaos, Zaden found his footing. When they both meet, in each other they just might find their golden hour.

An adorably entertaining, emotionally rich, feel-good romcom, with a class-act female lead and a sometimes grumpy, mostly flirty CEO ;) --- When a young brilliant new transfer gets to work with her favorite architect, things don't go quite as planned and he quickly becomes her biggest headache. Brilliant, sharp-tongued, and impossible to read, Nick could be everyone's ideal boss... except Evika's. And she never understood why. Nick Harrison is used to being obeyed. Evika Hayes has never been particularly good at it. She storms into his office, matches his fire, and somehow turns every conversation into a battle of wits and humor. She should hate him. She DOES hate him ...Mostly. Except when he remembers how she wears her jewelry and clears stores to take her shopping. Or when drives across town to buy her dinner. Or when he fights for her behind closed doors and tells her how adorable she looks when he makes her blush. As their clashes slowly melt into soft conversations, stolen glances and heated tension, the line between hate and something far more reckless begins to blur in this emotionally charged enemies-to-lovers romance about two stubborn hearts finally daring to fall in love... And for all the right reasons. --- His hand snuck under my shirt, fingers grazing my waist, and I arched into him...just as- A sharp knock sounded on the door. Shit. "Boss?" Andrew's voice filtered through. "All good? Thought I heard voices in there." Nick stayed pressed against me, lips brushing my ear as he answered in that perfectly calm voice. "Yeah, uh-podcast." I was silently losing it. The moment Andrew left I whisper-shouted at him. "Podcast?!" "Yeah. It's called 'How Not to Get Caught Making Out With Your Girlfriend at Work'." "Sounds hot. What episode are we on?" "Seventeen... Still haven't learnt a damn thing." And then he kissed me like a man possessed. .

In the empire of Liang, everyone knew one thing: The Crown Prince loved another woman. So when General Shen's eldest daughter, Shen Li Hua, was chosen to become Crown Princess, the entire capital pitied her. A loveless marriage. A cold husband. A palace already occupied by the prince's beloved first love. Everyone waited for Shen Li Hua to cry, to compete, to desperately fight for a man who had never wanted her. But Shen Li Hua did none of those things. Elegant, intelligent, and impossibly difficult to read, the new Crown Princess treated the Crown Prince with perfect courtesy- and absolute indifference. While other women fought for affection, Shen Li Hua guarded only one thing: her dignity. And slowly, dangerously... the Crown Prince began noticing the wife he had once ignored. "You may have the title of Crown Princess," Xiao Jun said coldly on their wedding night, "but you will never have my love." The palace fell silent. Beneath the glow of crimson candles, Shen Li Hua calmly removed the heavy phoenix crown from her head and placed it aside. Then she finally looked at him. Her eyes were beautiful. Cold too. "That changes nothing," she said lightly. "I married Your Highness for the crown, not your affection." Xiao Jun's expression darkened. Before he could speak again, she continued calmly, "So you may keep your love for whoever wishes to beg for it." A pause. Then- "Fortunately, I do not." For the first time in years, the Crown Prince was left completely speechless.

How many lives must be ruined to create a "hero"? Empress Calypso Berenice lived and died as an unwritten footnote, the forgotten wife of the male lead, executed by a villain to further a plot she didn't even know she was in. But when a near-death experience in a frozen lake shatters her reality, she awakens with the memories of Park Hanbyeol, a modern-day music producer who once read Calypso's life as a tragic novel and hated every word of it. The world has reset, and the main characters have returned with their memories intact, ready to resume their bloody path to glory. But there's a glitch in the narrative: the "extra" has come back, too. Calypso was never meant to be part of the story, let alone remember it. Now, armed with the knowledge of a future that discarded her, she must navigate a court of vengeful protagonists and power-hungry leads. If the story demands her ruin to make the heroes shine, Calypso is ready to tear out the pages and write a masterpiece of her own. *** Featured in: @WattpadDarkFantasy @WattpadTimeTravel @WattpadAlternateUniverse @anime @WattpadAsianFantasy @StoriesUndiscovered @WattpadHistoricalRomance @Fantasy @lowfantasy @HistoricalFiction *** WARNING: This story is mature due to the heavy topic such as mental health, trauma, etc, so please read with caution.

Six months. That's all the time I have before my head rolls onto the executioner's block. Dying choking on spicy instant noodles was a pathetic way to go, but waking up as Ilse de Varannes? That's a death sentence. In the original novel, Ilse isn't the heroine. She isn't even the villainess. She's the brainless, loyal sidekick the girl destined to be butchered just for being the "troublemaker" (instigator) of her best friend's shitty schemes. I used to be a Public Relation staff. My entire life was damage control, narrative-spinning, and cleaning up messes. So, I have a plan: tame my impulsive best friend, dodge the Crown Prince like the plague, and ghost the imperial palace before the military cleans house. Simple, right? Wrong. My strategy didn't account for the Duke d'Alençon. The Grand Commander of the military. Brother of Prince, The cold-blooded monster who's literally supposed to sign my death warrant in the final chapter. He's not ignoring me like he's "supposed" to. He's cornering me in dark hallways. He's gripping my wrists tight enough to bruise. He's looking at me with those damn icy eyes like he knows exactly what I'm up to and he finds it fascinating. "You're in too deep, Ilse. And I don't have the habit of letting go of what I've already claimed."

Yara Isaye loses her family in an accident. Two days later, she wakes up in a novel she once read, as the story's villainess, Yara Julian Isaye. Tyrannical, cruel, and unforgiving. Destined to be rejected by her own family, and the one fated to die at the hands of the Empire's most unfeeling man. She already knows how it unfolds. So she keeps her distance. She does not reach for them, does not question the role she has been given. It is easier to accept what has already been written than to hope for something else. Grief dulls everything else, whether she lives or dies no longer feels important. Until the story begins to shift. A hesitation where there should be indifference, a quiet concern that does not belong, and the man who was meant to kill her, once distant, and unmoved, no longer looks at her as he should, but with something far more difficult to name. Yara tells herself it changes nothing, because some endings are deserved. Aren't they? [Disclaimer: English isn't my first language so expect grammatical errors]

In her previous life, Shen Yuwei was known as Li Hua, a noble daughter who lost everything and later became a trusted attendant to a royal princess. One day, her mistress lent her a strange novel. It was the story of a talented actress from the future and a handsome actor destined to become her lover. As for the villainess? She was spoiled, arrogant, materialistic, and hopelessly obsessed with the male lead despite already being married. Li Hua could never understand her. After all, the villainess's husband was handsome, successful, loyal, and had never taken another woman. Why would she throw everything away for a man who did not love her? Unfortunately... When Li Hua opened her eyes again, she discovered she had become that very same villainess. Shen Yuwei. The woman destined to lose everything. The woman who would eventually be divorced and abandoned by everyone. Faced with her tragic future, Shen Yuwei only had one wish. To live peacefully. To avoid provoking the heroine. To stay away from the male lead. And to properly cherish the husband the original owner never appreciated. But the more she tries to stay out of trouble, the more people begin to notice her. The family that once tolerated her begins to adore her. The entertainment industry becomes curious about her transformation. Even the husband who barely acknowledged her existence starts paying attention. What Shen Yuwei doesn't know is that some stories were never as simple as they appeared. And perhaps... The true villain was never the villainess. --- "I already have a husband." "So why would I chase another man's love?"

Ivy Grace has finally won the war. The stars have finally aligned. Or in her language, the Lord has finally answered her prayer. After a year of disappointment and unemployment, Ivy lands a job as a pharmacist. New city, new apartment, new chance to start over. She fills her balcony with fairy lights and vines, her kitchen with green-and-gold countertops, and a vase of blue-and-white peonies she prays will "last for a month." For the first time in a long time, Ivy feels like she's winning. Then she meets Yusuf Demirci. He's the neighbor next door with the deep voice, golden skin, wavy, jet black hair , the "Mhhh" that drives her crazy, and blue eyes that notice everything. A literal dream. Ivy knows better than to want him. Love has always been her weakness - she falls too fast, hopes too hard, still believe in fairytakes and her heart bruises easily. And Yusuf? He's all three things she swore she'd avoid: the handsome ones, the ones who might be Muslim, the ones who might be married. He could break her. So she does what she always does when something feels too good: she prays him away. "Lord, if our interactions are not going to lead to anything long term... take Yusuf out of my life. Amen." But God's answers rarely look like we expect them. As Ivy settles into her new job and wrestles with faith, conviction, and the ache to be loved, she'll have to decide: Was God's "no" protection... or was He teaching her how to stay? Because some wars aren't won by running. They're won by not disappearing.
