[FEATURED×4] "What is love?"asked a little girl with glittering eyes. "The beauty of love lies in the bond between two people when they can understand each other's emotions by simply looking into each other's eyes. It is a house constructed by the bricks of understanding, affection and the most important trust. In short it is an inexpressible feeling." answered her mother.. At a very young age, Taeyeon experienced this when she saw Baekhyun, a transfer student. Whenever their eyes met, her body stiffened and her cheeks heated up. And when he reciprocated her emotions she was over the moon. "I will always be with you." he promised. But it was broken when Baekhyun along with his sister stopped coming to school.

After receiving a message from Kwan that they were back in town, the last thing Taeyeon knew that she was on her knees proposing Baekhyun.

~Highest rank~ #1 alienplanet (19/4/2023) || ×46 Award-winning book || After a great war wiped out the Elevanas and the Glorindians, the last survivor fled to Earth. Seventeen-year-old Fiona Cinderblock learned the way of humans; she got admission into Dian High School in Magnolia. Fiona tried to keep a low profile but her incredible skills exposed her every time. She rejected potential friends and connections to protect her secret identity; it was dangerous to grow fond of any human. ... Louis Walter, the son of the richest billionaires in town, is described as one with sass and smiles. People wondered what he didn't have-fame, money, a chiseled body, good looks-but bad grades. He had undergone intensive training since he was a kid and succeeded in all aspects except academics. Louis is reminded he's a wasted investment at the end of each semester by his father. Years passed and Louis got used to the name-calling. He accepted he was never good enough-but he wanted to pass his college exams. How could he prove his father wrong when he failed basic tests? ... These two worlds crossed paths-had a rusty start but slowly began to learn and grow together. Feelings crept in and they got comfortable with each other. Fiona loved Louis more when he opened up about his challenges, but he couldn't confess his love to her. As much as Fiona wanted to tell him about herself, she didn't. "What if he hates me? What if something goes wrong?" Louis found out about her secret in the most unpredictable way-when Fiona thought it was over, she had just unlocked another mystery. ©Kikibtsstan 2020

Featured on @HistoricalFiction @NARomance 🥇2023 Rose Gold Awards 🥇Literary Book Awards Story of Edith&Andre: "O'Lady Liberty divine! For thee alone, my life I'd resign: I beseech all to carve thy name so fair, On my tombstone, for all to stare." "This is a love poem for me?" Edith couldn't help muttering resignedly. But what else could she do? Her lover was a stoic little leader! Every time she complained that he was always working tirelessly, Andre would smile and whisper in her ear, "Have you not heard? 'A revolutionary only finds rest in his grave'." It seemed like an ominous omen when he ultimately had neither a grave nor a tombstone. The only thing Andre left her was a small notebook with a red cover. The front page was inscribed with neatly written words: Love, Compassion, Liberty. The final pages remained blank, but at the very end was a small line of pencil writing, already smudged and faded. Each letter was bold and alive, revealing the profound happiness and fervor of the writer: "Liberty is the right to love and to be loved." Story of Fiona: Little Fiona always thought that she lived in a world entirely separated from those wealthy girls, until this barefooted waif became a little Marchioness overnight. She had two fathers, one grand and handsome like a god, the other short and frail like a reed. They believed in completely different philosophies - the latter left her mired in poverty and shame, while the former pulled her into a heaven full of dignity and glory. Fiona chose one and abandoned the other. She felt she lacked nothing: beauty, wealth, honour, and love. Until she met that angel in the scarlet dress again. A century later, the old soldier who ended Fiona's life recalled her in his memoir: "I felt that old lady was a blaze of fire. I aimed at her, shot, and she fell. But bullets could never snuff out flames." What romantic entanglements will fate weave for these noble souls?
