Lin Jiayi and her husband were once a couple in name only. As a lower concubine, she stayed indoors with the rest of his untouched women. When her husband lost everything overnight, he annulled all his marriages to set them free, leaving the capital shortly after. Only one tore up the annulment letter and followed him: the concubine he'd only met once, Lin Jiayi. Fallen from grace, they lived a simple life, forsaking all their previous comforts and finding solace in each other. But alas, trouble came knocking again, forcing them to reckon with the past. -ˋˏ────── ༻ ♕ ༺ ──────ˎˊ- An Ancient China Historical Fiction.

Yoon Sora, a struggling cafe owner with a knack for getting into trouble, never expected her life to turn into an action-packed K-drama. But when she unknowingly witnesses a crime involving Seoul's most dangerous mafia group, she becomes their next target. To her shock, the person assigned to protect her is none other than Baek Jihoon-the arrogant, ridiculously handsome heir to a chaebol empire who has been trying (and failing) to escape his family's business. Forced into working as a bodyguard for "discipline," Jihoon is anything but pleased. Sora and Jihoon despise each other from the start-he finds her reckless, and she thinks he's a spoiled rich brat. But as the threats around them grow, so does their undeniable chemistry. Between mafia chases, family betrayals, and a whole lot of teasing, Sora and Jihoon must navigate the chaos while pretending they don't have feelings for each other.

A visit to her brother at a base in the middle of the Mojave wasn't exactly a holiday - but mundane had its appeal. Nothing she hadn't already accounted for. Damon has survived things that don't make it into reports. A Singaporean architect expecting a quiet week in the desert was not in any of his files. Apparently his intel had gaps. Catching flights and feelings - sometimes you just have to lean into the cliché.

Ana has it all: beauty, intelligence, money... and a rare neurodegenerative disease that reminds her every day that her future is no longer hers to control. Behind the designer clothes, picture-perfect smiles, and sharp remarks is a girl who learned early on that people leave, that pity hurts, and that it's easier to hurt others before they have the chance to hurt you. Denis has no wealth, no influence, and no powerful connections. All he has is a family he loves more than anything: a devoted mother and a younger sister struggling with a heart condition. When he's offered the opportunity to become Ana's physical therapist, he accepts without hesitation. The salary is too good to turn down. The problem is that no one prepared him for Ana. For her stubbornness. For her arrogance. For the way she manages to drive him crazy every single day. And most of all, for the way she slowly gets under his skin. Between physical therapy sessions, arguments, secrets, pride, and impossible choices, they'll discover that sometimes the hardest battles aren't fought against illness at all. Can a girl who has everything love a boy who has nothing? Can a man who dedicated his life to healing others love someone he can't save? Or are some stories doomed from the very beginning?
