The Kingdom of the Philippines stands as the jewel of the Estilian Empire, a beacon of prosperity and strength that shimmers through the ages with thriving trade, advanced technology, and unmatched military might. Emerging victorious in its struggle for independence in 1821, the archipelago united under the divine rule of the Estilio dynasty, whose wisdom and courage have long guided its citizens. Now a sprawling empire that extends far beyond the Orient to the reaches of mainland Asia and distant territories, the Kingdom presides over a golden age known as the Pax Filipina. But all golden ages must end, and cracks are beginning to form beneath the surface of its grand facade. Whispers of rebellion, political intrigue, and external threats threaten to unravel the hard-won peace. In the midst of these turbulent times, we follow the story of Anastacio, a sharp-witted but elusive commoner who carries a mysterious past and secrets he dares not share. A chance encounter on the bustling airship docks pulls him into the orbit of the Imperial Princess Sampaguita, a spirited royal burdened by the weight of duty and expectations. As the two navigate a world of towering airships, clanking automata, and political machinations, they find themselves embroiled in events that could decide the fate of the empire. Will Anastacio rise above his past to confront his destiny? Can Sampaguita reconcile her personal desires with the needs of the empire? Together, they must navigate a labyrinth of conspiracies, alliances, and betrayals that could change their very destinies.

Love. It was a progressive imperial world of June 1892 when the latter is what ladies aim. But, this goal does not apply to a nineteen-year-old Japanese woman, Ayako Yamaguchi. Believing that she will make her father proud, she leaves her home country intending to study in Great Britain. There, she is under the care of the Steinfeld family. On the dangerous hand, secrets do not stay forever. Being independent is Ayako's true reason to leave with the help of Yui Tanaka, a former diplomat, and personal mentor. A golden rule of royal marriage that the wife's free-will remove in this full-fledged ceremony pushes her to run and hide from the hideous Imperial Prince Takahito Yokohama. Although Ayako is seeking this major goal, her own definition changes when she becomes a tutor of a half-Japanese boy, Hiroto Kujo. With her knowledge, she spares him ideas of culture and language for his upcoming political career. Yet with mindful conceptions and lingering past from this man, she doesn't expect that there was a story before everything. EXPECTED NUMBER OF WORDS: 70,000-90,000

Hi, everyone! I'm Kimchi Pineda. Sixteen years old. Laking all girls' school. Pero ngayong senior high student na ako, in-enroll ako ng parents ko sa Richdale Private High School. Dating all boys' school ang Richdale na lately lang naging coed. At mayroon akong misyon sa pagpasok dito-ang mapalapit uli sa kababata kong si Sushi Morales at matulungan siyang makawala sa kanyang rebellious stage. Isa 'yong request mula sa parents namin na hindi ko natanggihan. Kaya kahit nagkaroon kami ng matinding away two years ago na naging reason kaya naging mortal enemies kami, nagpakumbaba na ako at in-approach siya para makipagbati. Hindi naman siguro ako mahihirapan. Miss Congeniality nga raw ako. Pero si Sushi na kung gaano kaubod ng guwapo ay ganoon din kasungit. Nang subukan kong kausapin siya ay bigla akong hinila at isinandal sa pader sabay sabi ng, "Don't talk to me. At mas lalong huwag mo ipagsabi na magkakilala tayo. Maliwanag ba?" Paano na ang mission ko? Susuko na lang ba ako? Siyempre hindi. Fight hanggang mapalambot ang puso ni Sushi Morales!

Published book, series and now a Wattpad Original. Read the original story or watch new episodes weekly only on VivaOne. Hindi intensiyon ni Carmela Isabella ang umibig, lalo na sa taong 1892. Mula sa taong 2016 ay mapupunta siya sa nakaraan nang may isang misyon: huwag hayaang umibig sa kanya si Juanito Alfonso, ang anak ng kilalang gobernadorcillo at ang lalaking nakatakda niyang makaisang-dibdib. *** Palaging kinukuwestiyon ni Carmela Isabella ang mga kuwentong nakabaon sa nakaraan ng kanyang pamilya, ngunit hindi niya akalain na mula sa panahong 2016 ay mapupunta siya sa taong 1892 sa pamamagitan ng isang lumang talaarawan at ang Arch of the Centuries na kanyang nagsilbing portal. Inatasan siya ng isang misteryosong madre upang gawin ang napakahalagang misyon: kailangan niyang mamuhay bilang si Carmelita Montecarlos, ang bunsong anak ng pinakamayamang pamilya sa San Alfonso at siguruhing mapipigilan si Juanito Alfonso--ang nakatakdang mapangasawa ni Carmelita--na umibig sa kanya. Sa nalalapit nilang kasal at sa kasaysayang naghihintay na maisulat muli, ang pag-ibig na hindi naman sinadya upang maranasan ng dalawang inosenteng puso ay muli bang masisilayan pagkalipas ng isang siglo?
