[INARIKINA X VARL_05] They had been three, long before the world ever knew their names. Xiwei, Linghe, and Weilong grew up side by side, sharing childhood dreams, quiet promises, and a friendship everyone believed would last forever. But while Xiwei never noticed, both boys had quietly fallen in love with the same girl. When adulthood reunites them as rising stars in the entertainment industry, years of buried feelings begin to surface. As Linghe and Xiwei are cast opposite each other in the highly anticipated drama Chasing Jade, the undeniable chemistry that captivates millions is more than just acting-it is the reflection of a love neither of them has ever truly left behind. Then, one night changes everything. Believing that loving Xiwei would only betray the brother he cherishes most, Linghe walks away without ever telling her why. Xiwei is left convinced she was nothing more than his greatest regret. Five years pass. Careers soar. Awards are won. Cameras continue to capture perfect smiles. But some loves refuse to fade, no matter how much time has passed. When the truth finally comes to light, the three of them must confront the silence that stole five years of their lives and ask themselves one impossible question: How do you find your way back to someone you never stopped loving? A heart-wrenching story about first love, brotherhood, sacrifice, and three souls finding the courage to set each other free.

In front of the cameras and beneath the flashing lights, they're forced to be strangers. Perfect, detached, and completely out of reach. A flawless illusion carefully designed to keep the world from ever guessing the truth. But Wicked isn't about the charade they play during the day. It's about what happens when the cameras turn off and the bedroom door locks. Behind soundproof walls and closed doors, the masks come off. No more formalities. No more forced distance. The suffocating tension they've been burying all day finally snaps, turning into a raw, demanding hunger. In the shadows, the heavy silence vanishes, replaced by wrecked breathing and racing pulses. They are no longer pretending. They're not just falling in love. They're tearing each other apart and putting themselves back together in the most brutal, intimate way possible. Every stolen second burns with a scorching intensity. One glance and all hesitation dies-leaving only pure, unadulterated hunger. Possessive hands, a tight grip on the waist that doesn't ask for permission, and the heat of their bodies locking together like they're running out of time. A connection so intense that the scent of bare skin becomes a drug, making them completely forget how to let go first. Behind closed doors, Linghe and Xiwei morph into beings the public would never recognize. They become wild, demanding, and entirely ruled by their rawest, most primitive instincts. This is the story of two bodies craving each other with a desperate, burning ache-wrecking each other in the dark, far from the world's judgment. Some love stories are meant for the spotlight. Theirs? It's meant to be stripped down, tasted, and consumed-strictly behind closed doors.

[21+] [COMPLETED] Linghe had never thought loving someone could feel this heavy. In front of the cameras, under the polished glow of the industry, everything looked effortless. He loved Xiwei with a certainty that had never wavered, a quiet, unwavering devotion that asked for nothing in return. He had never doubted her, not once. But in a world where even standing beside her in public was forbidden, where their love had to exist in stolen moments and hidden glances, something began to crack. Because while he was forced to remain in the shadows, someone else was allowed to stand in the light. Ian Wu had admired Xiwei long before he ever worked with her--watched her from afar, drawn to her brilliance, her quiet strength, the way she carried herself as if she belonged to no one and nothing at all. Working alongside her had once felt like a distant dream. But dreams have a way of changing shape when they come true. The more time they spent together, the harder it became to ignore. Ian started noticing the little things-the way she laughed when she was tired, the small kindnesses she offered without thinking, the warmth she left behind without even trying. And somewhere along the way, admiration turned into something deeper. Something he couldn't quite name, but couldn't deny either. The worst part? He knew she wasn't his to have. Xiwei found herself caught in the middle of it all. Between a love that had always been hers, and a presence that refused to fade, no matter how hard she tried to keep things where they belonged. When the heart is pulled in two directions, which one truly feels like home? Because when love stops being simple, when it demands a choice--someone always ends up paying the price.

Web Novel from a drama..

"A man may wield a sword with strength, but the heart-ah, the heart is a blade that cuts both ways." A man may be fearless on the battlefield, but even the strongest general cannot command the matters of the heart. In a world where love is both a blessing and a curse, can fairness exist when emotions run deep? Is love a promise or a choice, and can devotion be divided without breaking what is whole? In the grandeur of the Great Zhou Dynasty, General Liang Zhen is a rising star-young, fearless, and favored by the Emperor. Every noble family seeks to wed their daughters to him, yet despite all expectations, he chooses Su Yanfei, a woman of lesser status but unmatched brilliance. Fiercely competitive, adventurous, and unafraid of any challenge, she captures his heart not through gentle obedience but through her unwavering spirit. Together, they build a thriving household filled with love, laughter, and shared ambition. Yet, their happiness is tested when an imperial edict forces Liang Zhen to take another wife-Duchess Xie Ruolan, a widowed mother from a noble house, a woman five years his senior, uninterested in romance, but brilliant in business and strategy. Bound by duty, he marries her, knowing it will fracture the harmony of his home. Su Yanfei, despite her love and understanding, wrestles with jealousy and heartbreak, while Ruolan, cold and practical, struggles against the emotions she swore never to entertain. As Liang Zhen tries to balance devotion, responsibility, and honor, he finds himself questioning-can a man truly love two women fairly? With court intrigues, family power struggles, and the eternal battle between love and duty, this tale explores the nature of love, trust, and the delicate balance between the heart's desires and the world's expectations.

"Would you have fallen for me if I was good? Was there any way to love me?" He wished for lies that would comfort him, but silence met him instead. ... Yi Heng was the final villain, the most revered and feared. However, his indifference made him unbefitting of the title. He disregarded the affairs of the cast of protagonists and side characters. So, the villain system forcefully bounded Yi Heng to mold him into a proper villain with a malevolent heart and a greedy soul. He became a more henious villain, and those around him had become infatuated with him from the protagonists, minor villains, side characters, and cannon fooder. "He was something so heinous, yet so devastatingly bewitching."

Orphaned and abandoned by her betrothed, Fan Changyu's world was crumbling. With greedy relatives circling her inheritance like vultures, she had only one card left to play: zhaozhui. She recruited a broken, destitute stranger she once saved to be her husband in name only-a handsome face to help her secure her home and protect her young sister. The deal was simple: a sham marriage for a place to heal. But when the imperial army conscripts him, the man she intended to let go vanishes into the smoke of war. Years later, she finds him again in a blood-soaked medic's tent. Seeing the man she once sheltered in tatters, Fan Changyu makes a new vow: "Forget the war. Come home-I'll raise the pigs, and I'll take care of you."

IMAGE AND STORY NOT MINE MTL *.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.* Wang Cuihua, an ordinary corporate s*ave, was on her way home when she suddenly transmigrated into a web novel. There, she became Yu Wanyin, a tyrant's concubine. As it turned out, it was Concubine Yu's turn to serve His Majesty in bed that night. Upon meeting the tyrant, his words and mannerisms gave Yu Wanyin a curious sense of déjà vu. After careful contemplation, she decided to sound him out. "How are you?" she blurted out in English. The rims of Xiahou Dan's eyes reddened, and he fell silent. At length, he replied, also in English, "I'm fine, and you?"
