In a world painted with laughter and joy, Hana appeared as the vibrant soul who could light up any room. Her childhood friend, Yuki Ishikawa, a rising star in volleyball, cherished her infectious spirit, unaware of the silent struggle she faced daily. Behind her bright smile lay a heavy darkness, a battle with depression that dulled her existence. Hana had always been the one to lift others up, but as time passed, her own light began to fade. Each day was a fight to stay afloat, each night filled with despair. She poured her thoughts into a diary, a refuge where she could express her pain, hiding it from the world around her. Yet, just when she felt she might drown, Yuki's random texts-a joke, a simple check-in-cut through her fog of hopelessness, reminding her she wasn't alone. Then one day, everything changed when Yuki stumbled upon her diary. As he faced the truth of her struggle, their friendship was put to the ultimate test. Could love conquer the shadows that loomed over Hana? Together, they would embark on a journey of healing, discovering that even in the darkest times, the light of friendship and love could illuminate the path to a brighter tomorrow.

• WATTYS 2022 WINNER • When Iris Monet married millionaire Jared Darling, she had only one rule - that he could cheat on her with anyone except the household staff. This arrangement of theirs would have gone on quite happily if she hadn't caught him on the snooker table with their maid, and on their wedding anniversary night no less. Humiliated and more than a little drunk, Iris storms out of the house vowing never to return unless it's for a well-compensated divorce. But as the train trundles out of the city, she slowly calms down and quickly realizes that there's a problem. A big problem. Because the only thing Iris has ever done in her life is being a trophy wife. The prospect of unfunded singlehood on the cusp of her thirties is a horrifying nightmare she's unprepared to deal with. So naturally, when she lays eyes on who she thinks is the richest bachelor in Ryefair, Iris is more than ready to put her claws into him. Except, Satoh Akai isn't the richest bachelor in Ryefair - not by a long shot. And as someone who speaks better with animals than people, romance is the furthest thing from his mind. When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, anything is possible but one thing is certain - worlds will collide and hearts will burn. ✒ 17th November 2021 (start) ✒ 27th July 2022 (end)
