Ye Lingxiao, daughter of the late Duke of Wei, was born with a noble name, an illustrious lineage, and everything a woman could possibly need to live a life of dignity. Yet she spent her entire life making herself smaller for the sake of others. After the deaths of her parents, Lingxiao was taken in by her maternal aunt and raised within the Chu family. Desperate to be loved and terrified of losing the only family she had left, she devoted herself to earning their affection. She endured every slight, surrendered every advantage, and constantly put the Chu family before herself. Most of all, she loved Chu Zhanfeng. Blinded by that love, she chased after him for years, believing that if she gave enough, sacrificed enough, and proved herself useful enough, he would eventually see her devotion. She used the influence and connections inherited from the Duke of Wei to open doors for the Chu family, secure opportunities for them, and elevate their status. She thought she was building a future with the man she loved. Instead, she was building the ladder they would use to climb over her. When the Chu family finally achieved everything they desired, Ye Lingxiao became nothing more than an inconvenience. Her usefulness had ended. Her family name had been exhausted. The affection she had desperately sought was revealed to have never truly existed. She was discarded. And she died with nothing but regret. But fate grants the dead what the living can never obtain-a second chance. And then there is Xie Yizhi. The mysterious nobleman whose name alone is enough to make powerful families cautious. To outsiders, Xie Yizhi is nothing more than a sickly young lord. He spends much of his time secluded from society, appears frail and incapable of enduring hardship, and is rumored to have a body too weak to live a long life.

Crescent Swiftwater, an innocent shift-less human raised in the turbulent society of werewolves, discovers a world beyond her family and searches for true love.

With eyes as blue as the sky and hair as golden as the sun, Cress doesn't look anything like her dark-haired, brown-eyed parents. Why is she different? And more importantly... What's wrong with her? Every school year, the students participate in the Wolf Games-a series of competitions designed to determine the hierarchy of the school. For Cress, surviving the games means more than earning a place among her classmates. It means proving that being wolf-less doesn't make her weak. Can she make it through the school year without becoming the target of every wolf who sees her as an easy victim? Or will she forever be the runt of the pack? Then Cress unexpectedly finds herself becoming friends with one of the most unlikely people in school-the handsome, brooding, and most feared Alpha among the students. But there is someone else who has always been there. Garrett. Her childhood best friend. The boy who has known her long before the rumors, the teasing, and the expectations of their pack ever mattered. As guy friendships slowly begin to change, Cress finds herself caught between confusing feelings, an unexpected connection, and a future she never imagined for herself. As Cress begins uncovering the truth about who she really is, she must learn that finding her place isn't always about becoming who everyone expects her to be. Sometimes true love doesn't just change your heart. It awakens the wolf within. Story is completed. Edited version is here!

A normal human girl discovers she's an elf-shapeshifter hybrid the day after her birthday, bringing into question her entire existence. ------------ Thyra Solberg always knew she was adopted. Magnus, the man who took her in, maintained that she had been left on his doorstep one night, abandoned by her mother. It's a story that Thyra has never questioned -- until now.

Healers determine that she's a rare elf-shapeshifter hybrid and, by law, must attend a school that caters to magical individuals.

Navigating a new school is hard enough, but now those struggles are compounded by an unfamiliar body. Then there is the question of the man who raised her, the man who Thyra puts all her trust in. Is Magnus Solberg who he says he is, or is there something he isn't telling her? [[ cover and banners made by Pennywithaney ]]

She was afraid they would drink her blood, and they were afraid she would be hungry and cold. She thought she was a reserve of food, but they treated her like their life. Until the commander, whose face was covered in black markings, spoke to her haltingly in his newly learned Chinese: "Drink this, it's a nutrient solution, it doesn't suck blood." "Sleep, this is a hibernation pod, not a coffin. We are not vampires." "You are the guide, and we are the sentinels." "Our mission is to protect you." ... By chance, Ye Lingxi discovered that Qimen talismans could actually reduce the contamination level of sentinels. From then on, the legend of the Xuanmen Celestial Masters began in this interstellar space. With a compass in one hand and a talisman in the other, Ye Lingxi can pull even a berserk sentinel back from the brink of death. ... Much later, everyone in the Federation knew that on that most remote, desolate planet lived twelve madmen who had crawled back from hell. They stayed by their only guide's side, never leaving him for a moment, until their deaths. (Credit to the Original Author San Qian Chi Chan)

Kai died after laughing too hard at a ridiculously cliché romance novel. When he opened his eyes again... He had reincarnated into that very novel. The good news? There were no villains. No evil stepmothers. No jealous second male lead. No world-ending disasters. Everything was supposed to follow a sweet, wholesome romance between the handsome male lead, Silva Ashford, and the adorable heroine. Kai's mission was simple: Stay out of the plot. Unfortunately... On Day One, he accidentally stole Silva's seat. On Day Two, he ate the heroine's lunch because he thought it was free. On Day Three... Silva smiled at him. "..." Kai immediately packed his bags. "NOPE! This isn't in the novel!" From then on, the story completely derailed. The heroine became Kai's biggest shipper. The side characters started taking bets. The teachers gave up. And the male lead... "...Kai." "Yes?" "You're cute." Kai froze. "...Someone save the original plot." Too late. The original romance had officially gone off the rails.
