Thrown out of an abusive home, Suki pretends to be Devin's girlfriend while she stays with his family. But what happens when pretend feelings become real? ***** With nowhere to go after being thrown out of an abusive home, Suki asks Devin, a complete stranger, if she can stay the night with him. But what was supposed to be a short-term solution quickly turns into an open-ended promise: if Suki pretends to be Devin's girlfriend to ward off his pushy (if loving) mother, then she can live in his spare bedroom until she sorts out her life. But what happens when pretend feelings become real? Will Suki be able to overcome the fear and pain in her past in order to heal and fall in love?

After falling in love with a younger and much less successful man, can Yiwen convince herself and her parents to accept him into their wealthy family? ***** When Yiwen Wang suddenly finds herself 30 and single, she lets her well-meaning best friend talk her into a blind date with the handsome Zi'an Li. And not only is he plucked straight out of a movie screen, his witty banter over dinner also convinces Yiwen he's exactly the type to make her toes curl. Yet, by some wicked twist of fate, he's five years younger than her and has no house, car, or stable, high-paying job. So how is she ever going to convince herself and her parents that he's the right choice? Especially when her new, attractive boss makes it very clear that he's interested in her?

Jihoon hasn't slept well in years. Not since he survived the accident that killed the woman he loved. Yingyue never leaves her house. Not since her parents died in a car crash two years ago. Both crippled by their own fears, the two of them should never work out. After all, two wrongs don't make a right. Yet somehow, perhaps each recognizing they are kindred spirits bound by the things that haunt them, they are drawn to each other like the moon pulls the ocean tide. Can their blossoming romance help them break through the confines of their fears or will it pull them further down under like a leaf trapped under the surface of a frozen lake? --- Update schedule: Once a month.

As a musical protégé, he had quickly risen to stardom only to realize that fame came at a price. Having fallen far from his pedestal and having lost the ability to make music, he decided that death was his only recourse. And so, one summer night, when a typhoon wreaked havoc outside his remote cottage in idyllic Jeju Island, he invited death to come knocking. When death arrived at his door, it brought an unexpected companion. With death came an angel who played beautiful music that stirred his soul. The only problem was, she only spoke English, a language he barely understood. Was this another one of fate's cruel tricks or was it a second chance at redemption? --- A/N: This story was originally written for the #OneMillionProject anthology.
