She was betrayed, broken, and burned alive - the world's brightest mind, undone by the people she loved most. When Lu Mian opens her eyes again, she's back - reborn with every memory, every scar, and a heart that's finally learned how to stay cold. This time, she won't waste her genius saving ungrateful hearts. This time, she'll live for herself, ignoring all those who caused her pain and were unworthy of her love. But fate has a way of laughing at plans. The moment she saves a stranger in the rain - a man with eyes like midnight and a voice that can quiet a crowd - everything starts to change. They call him Huo Shen, the ruthless power who rules the city from the shadows. To the world, he's untouchable. To her, he's a puzzle wrapped in silence - a man dying from an illness no one can name... until she walks into his life. She wants to live, to shine. He wants her. What begins as a deal between two broken souls turns into something neither can control. She heals his body, he guards her heart. He pampers her like she's fragile, yet his love burns with a dangerous edge only she can tame. And when the past claws its way back, they'll fight not just for survival - but for the chance to stand side by side, unshaken, and finally shine on their own terms.

•Highest Rank #1 in Disturbing; Highest Rank #1 in Catcher • For the longest time I did not see his face. He was an enigma. I think that was the most terrifying part; trying to guess what he would do next. Because of his veiled identity there were fleeting moments I forgot he was even human - a living, breathing, person. It really scares me to think about what people are capable of doing in the consuming mindset of misguided obsession. ______

Sold to Be a Yakuza Wife I am Angelie Dela Torre-the unwanted daughter of two irresponsible people who never deserved to be parents. My biological father was a gambling addict, my mother a woman who found comfort in other men. If fate hadn't intervened, my life would have been nothing but chaos and shame. But fate did intervene. I was adopted by Andres and Constancia Dela Torre, a wealthy couple who couldn't have children of their own. They gave me everything my biological parents never could-love, education, and a future. I grew up protected, refined, and far removed from the filth of my origins. By the time I became an Assistant Fashion Design Manager, my life was calm. Successful. Happy. Or so I thought. One night, everything shattered. I was kidnapped. When I woke up, I wasn't in my country anymore-I was on a ship, bound for somewhere I didn't recognize. That was when I learned the truth: my biological father had found me... and sold me. Sold me to pay off his massive gambling debt. Sold me as a bride. When I arrived in Japan, I met him-the man who would own my future. A man so devastatingly handsome he looked unreal, like a god carved from shadows and sin. Then he smiled. A slow, wicked grin that promised ruin. Because he wasn't just any man. He was Yakuza. And I was bound to marry him. From that moment on, I knew my life was no longer my own-and whatever awaited me in his world would be far darker, more dangerous, and more twisted than anything I had ever imagined.

For 18+ readers. (MATURE CONTENT) Lured in a love-trap made by her charismatic Mister Li, An Yu had no idea what she was getting herself into until..one night she was kidnapped by a mysterious masked man. ... "You've become a good liar," the man said after a long while, causing An Yu's heart to stop beating and her breath to hitch when she heard him. Feeling her body turn stiff at his words, the man hummed and gently patted her head. "Is my love alone not enough for a vixen such as yourself?" His fingers slowly weaved inside her hair and he suddenly tightened his hold on them, causing her to yelp in pain when her scalp turned numb from the force he used on her. When her fearful eyes met his dark orbs, so dark that they could pull her inside like a black hole, she knew that he was really angry at the moment. He found out her lie. "Answer me, love." Arnold caressed her chin and tilted her face closer to his as he took in her fearful eyes. "Is my.. love alone not enough for you?" "M-Mister Li, don't misunderstand. I-I-" "You were thirsty?" Interrupting her, the man let out a dark chuckle and tugged on her hair more harshly, causing her to wince and gasp in pain. "Then I'll make sure to quench this thirst of yours." ... A story where shredded bonds were repaired with the help of little pampered woman. "You.. a-are a monster." She hiccuped while large drops of tears kept falling off her face. "A monster?" He tilted his head and gazed at the unconscious person on the hospital bed."Then I can only wonder what you might call him after knowing who he really is." Note: This story contains many adult themes which might be unsuitable for young readers. And it won't be author's fault if you develop a severe male standards complex after reading her work, so you better watch your back. #1st in chinese - 26/11/22 #1st in royal - 24/12/22 #9th in romance - 26/11/22 #2nd in crybaby - 9/12/22 -Sweet adorable FL -Mysterious domineering ML

Ryuzaku Hatohori, heir to one of the most powerful yakuza clans in Japan, is a man whose presence commands both fear and desire.

And while Ryuzaku's gaze falls only upon Sayuri, it is Reiko's heart that burns for him. When Reiko's parents allow her to stay at the Hatohori estate, she finally sees her chance to be near him... and to claim what she believes destiny has denied her. But in a world ruled by power, loyalty, and blood, love is never pure - and desire can become the most dangerous weapon of all.

"In a world built on blood and power, he would burn it all just to keep her breathing." Fragile, soft-spoken, and quietly sickly, Mira Takemori has spent her life forgotten by her own family. Her arranged engagement to the Miyahara heir should have been another cold duty... until she discovers her fiancé is nothing like she imagined. Ren Miyahara is feared across the underworld-dangerous, merciless, and impossible to read. But he becomes disarmingly gentle with her, guarding her with a devotion far deeper than their engagement demands. His protectiveness only intensifies when her illness worsens and enemies begin to close in. When Ren survives an assassination attempt and Mira's condition reveals dark secrets within both their families, their fragile engagement transforms into a bond powerful enough to challenge fate itself. Love, danger, sickness, and loyalty collide as Ren and Mira step into a world where affection is rare-and protection can become obsession.

I've been reincarnated into the very web novel I used to mock endlessly with my friends-and even in the comment sections. Who could blame me? It was the epitome of clichés: a forced marriage, endless misunderstandings between husband and wife, suffocating angst, the heroine's dramatic escape, and the inescapable regret of the so-called male lead. Predictable, frustrating, and utterly tiresome. Yet here I am, inhabiting the role of that very heroine in 'Husband Is Regretting.' My first priority? Divorce the walking red flag I've been shackled to. But for some reason, the more I ignore him, the more fixated he becomes. And if that wasn't confusing enough, a side character who was supposed to appear only once suddenly approaches me with a bold question: "Shall I be your secret lover?" What on earth is going on in this story? Owner of the cover X\@irt_5433
