All characters and situations described are a product of the imagination, created for research and artistic purposes. USA. Present Day. In the sterile silence of a private facility, sisters Lily and Emily Carter are conducting work that is meant to change medicine forever. Officially, they treat terminally ill children. In reality, they are testing drugs on orphans-children no one will ever come looking for. Ten small patients, numbered from A-1 to D-4, have become the foundation of their shared enterprise. The Carter sisters are a perfectly tuned mechanism. Lily is the cold scientist. For her, only dosages and metrics matter. She performs the painful procedures, never letting emotions get the better of her. Emily is her complete opposite. She offers comfort, holds their hands, and distracts the children with fairy tales about space. But it is her kindness that makes the system sustainable: because of Emily, the children do not break from fear. Left alone after the death of their parents, the sisters became each other's whole world. In their center, there is no one but them. Lily ensures progress, while Emily provides psychological comfort. But how long can a union built on such a terrible price hold? This is a story of fanatical devotion to science and to each other. A story about where the line of morality is drawn when millions of future lives are at stake.

Sold into the imperial palace as a lowly maid, Chorae is no ordinary servant. Raised by her shaman grandmother but never taught the sacred arts, she developed her own obsession-making spirits suffer. Where others fear ghosts, she hunts them. Where others flee cursed grounds, she sets traps and smiles. In a palace filled with restless souls and deadly secrets, Chorae quietly crafts tools imbued with divine magic-binding, breaking, and discarding vengeful spirits like worn-out toys. Then one day, Yi Seungho, a cold and powerful palace official, takes an interest in her. No one understands why. But he begins calling for her... again and again. She isn't interested in power, titles, or love-just money, peace, and maybe a good haunting to play with. But together, they begin to peel back the layers of the palace's darkest secrets-one ghost at a time.

Set in the ancient kingdom of Kaliyant, this mythological tale explores the conflict between divine destiny and mortal lineage, love and power, faith and blood. King Vayun, ruler of the Moon Clan, governs alongside his two queens-Kuniya, blessed by the gods, and Meera, driven by human longing and devotion. Through a sacred divine spell, Kuniya bears three demigod sons-Jayan, Veeran, and Arun-celebrated as heavenly gifts meant to safeguard the kingdom's future. Out of compassion, she shares this divine secret with Meera, who then gives birth to twin sons-Niran and Sayan, also born through divine intervention. With five god-blessed princes, Kaliyant appears destined for eternal prosperity. However, the story takes a powerful turn when Meera yearns for a child born not of the gods, but of love and mortality. Her union with King Vayun results in a pregnancy that awakens something unprecedented-a child of pure bloodline, unbound by divine spells. Vayun proclaims this unborn child as the true heir of the Moon Clan, a successor rooted in ancestral legacy rather than borrowed divinity. This declaration ignites unease within the royal court. Advisors question whether a mortal-born child can surpass demigods, while mysterious lunar omens begin to shadow the kingdom. The moon glows unnaturally, sages argue over prophecy, and destiny itself seems to tremble. At its heart, the story is about identity, legitimacy, and destiny-asking whether true greatness is granted by gods or forged through human will. Meera's unborn child symbolizes a convergence of divine and mortal forces, hinting at a future that could either unite the kingdom under a new order or plunge it into conflict. A tale rich in mythology, emotion, and prophecy, this story sets the foundation for an epic struggle over наследage, power, and the true meaning of destiny. 🌙✨

Mae was never meant to be feared. She was a soft spoken, working-class devoted housewife from New York. Invisible. She married a daring man she loved-only to watch him rise into something monstrous: a powerful gangster whose name carried blood, money, and control. While he ruled the streets, Mae ruled the home. Faithful. Traditional. Silent. She stood strong, aware of his affairs with Hollywood singers. Cleaning up his messes and surviving mafia attacks meant for him-again and again. They underestimated her. That was their mistake. When her husband goes to prison and loses his grip on reality, the world finally loosens its hold on Mae. With her friends at her side, she steps into the life she always dreamed of-Hollywood lights, fame, freedom, and a dangerous rebirth. But the past doesn't forget its wives so easily. This is a dark romance about devotion, betrayal, power, and a woman who bloomed too late to be saved-and too fiercely to be stopped. A mafia fantasy. A Hollywood rise. A love story stained in blood. Sincerely, Mae

Disclaimer: Beautiful Ruin is a work of dark romantic fiction that explores the hauntingly raw realities of toxic love, obsession, and the kind of heartbreak that leaves scars instead of lessons. It contains graphic emotional manipulation, misogyny, possessiveness, trauma bonding, infidelity, family pressure, and the internal war between love and self-worth. Reader discretion is strongly advised. This is not a fairytale. This is the kind of love that bruises-where pain is romanticized, and survival is mistaken for devotion. Author's Note: I didn't write Beautiful Ruin to give you hope-I wrote it to show what happens when a woman loses herself in the name of love. When ambition dies in silence, and dreams are buried alive. This story isn't about healing. It's about the destruction that comes before the rebirth. If you've ever chosen love over yourself... this story is yours. --- "I gave up my crown to wear his chains... and called it love." - Sani
