    One is cold as ice. The other - fire that never burns silently. Amelia Harrington - successful, flawless, uncompromising. She's the cold, impeccable, ruthless owner of a law firm and a teacher with merciless perfectionism and rules that no one is allowed to break. Alexandra Sawyer - young, fiery, ambitious. A lawyer pursuing a master's degree in English teaching. She believes the heart matters more than cold calculation - and she's not afraid to prove it. Their first meeting is a random argument in a coffee shop. The second is a surprise exam - where Amelia holds all the power. And uses it. It should've ended there. But where ice meets fire... there's always steam. And this story is all about it. Two women who can't get along - and can't stay away.

    She was never supposed to be seen. Raven built her life behind the scenes-where wires, lights, and precision kept the world running, and anonymity kept her safe. At eighteen, she was already exceptional. Invisible. Untouchable. Until seven boys walked onto her stage-and one of them saw her. Jeon Jungkook lives in a world defined by cameras, contracts, and expectations he never chose. Fame gave him everything-except freedom. Except truth. Except the ability to want something for himself without consequence. What begins as a moment becomes a rumor. What becomes a rumor becomes a storm. As headlines twist reality and power draws dangerous lines between them, Raven and Jungkook must navigate a world where proximity is risk, silence is survival, and love is never just personal-it's political. Behind the fame, behind the lies, behind the lights-they must decide who they are willing to become. And what they are willing to lose. Behind the Fame is a slow-burn story of identity, sacrifice, power, and love-set in the spaces no one thinks to look, where the most important battles are fought in silence.

    A continuation project inspired by The Four-Faced Buddha. Set after Chapter 44 ("I'll Teach You"), this story revisits Fan Xiao and You Shulang in the moments that follow-where silence lingers longer than words, and closeness begins to blur into something harder to name. What happens after "I'll Teach You" is not a clean continuation, but a slow unfolding of emotional tension, intimacy, and restraint beginning to fail in small, irreversible ways. Some moments were never meant to fit inside a single chapter. These are the scenes left behind-the ones that stayed too close, too quiet, too unresolved to end properly. This is an extra-chapter continuation meant to accompany The Four-Faced Buddha, not replace it. For the main storyline, please continue with the canon novel.

    A psychological slow-burn from the world of Sherlock Holmes about people who understand everything except their own emotions. London has become offensively mundane, and Sherlock Holmes is finding inactivity harder to bear than he would ever admit.

The man who rules half the British Empire with the cold precision of a chess grandmaster makes a request that defies all logic: he needs advice on a personal matter. What at first seems like a minor social complication gradually reveals something far more dangerous-a situation that cannot be resolved by deduction alone. A psychological slow-burn from the world of Sherlock Holmes, full of intellectual tension, the atmosphere of Victorian London, and people who understand everything except their own emotions. New chapters are released every Monday and Thursday. Mám na profilu také českou verzi.

    A composed and emotionally guarded investor, Yeh has always kept love at a safe distance-until she meets Lin, a magnetic content creator whose world of storytelling, instinct, and quiet intensity begins to unravel her carefully controlled life. What starts as a professional collaboration on a GL series turns into a slow-burning emotional entanglement, where every glance, every hesitation, carries unspoken meaning. Caught between her own restraint and the ambiguous closeness between Lin and her long-time partner Jing, Yeh chooses to step back-just as Lin begins to step closer. As fiction starts to mirror reality, both women are forced to confront a question they can no longer avoid: when two people feel the same way but refuse to say it, is love ever enough to bring them together?

    The war against the Sky People is over. But peace on Pandora is fragile, and some wounds refuse to heal cleanly. Still recovering from the gunshot that nearly killed him, Neteyam te Suli Tsyeyk'itan struggles to regain the control he once carried so effortlessly. Everyone watches him differently now. Carefully. Especially Ao'nung te Tsika'u Tonowari'itan. Proud. Arrogant. Impossible to ignore. Their rivalry only worsens when the Metkayina Clan grants sanctuary to outsiders from the feared Mangkwan Clan. Among them is Rēeva. Scarred. Quiet. Unreadable. Both Neteyam and Ao'nung find themselves drawn toward her despite her cold indifference toward them both. But while the two warriors compete for attention they are never going to receive, Rēeva seems far more interested in speaking with Rotxo instead. Which would matter less if Rotxo did not look genuinely unsettled every time she came near him. Because unlike everyone else, Rotxo knows the truth about the Mangkwan outsiders. And some people do not escape their pasts peacefully. Especially not on Pandora. Disclaimer: This is a fan-made story inspired by the world of Avatar.

    I drowned, woke up in another world, got killed again by an arch-necromancer, and resurrected as half-zombie. I'm technically alive only because I'm magically bound to him. Now I'm stuck in a dark academy where bullying can be fatal, skeletons aren't in closets, but on payroll, students keep disappearing, and survival is very much optional. On the bright side, I've discovered a unique talent: the undead tend to fall in love with me. On the less bright side, an ancient lich wants to drag me into his world. Honestly, dying twice was the easy part. What to expect: - Humorous dark fantasy in an academy setting - Dark academia with Wednesday-like vibes - The heroine gradually discovers her hidden abilities - Slow-burn, subtle romance - complicated, awkward, and very intentional - A fake engagement / marriage of convenience (bad decisions made for good reasons) - Morally grey characters - Friendship, betrayal, jealousy, mystery and secrets

    "Fame is the prettiest poison - and love is the deadliest of them all." At Haneul University of Arts, talent is worshipped, and perfection is law. The corridors echo with ambition, whispers of scandals, and the ghosts of broken dreams. Beneath the façade of beauty and brilliance, idols-in-training hide their sins behind smiles and shattered glass hearts. Kang Taehyun-controlled, brilliant, and detached-is a prodigy who never falters. Every move, every word, every breath is calculated perfection. But behind his polished image lies a quiet hunger for something real... something untainted. Enter Choi Beomgyu-reckless, magnetic, and dangerously unpredictable. The golden boy who doesn't follow rules, only breaks them. When he transfers to Haneul and becomes Taehyun's performance partner, sparks ignite-too bright, too fast, too forbidden. What begins as rivalry turns into obsession. Between late-night rehearsals, whispered confessions, and music that bleeds vulnerability, they begin to unravel each other's carefully built façades. But in a world where every secret is currency and every emotion a weakness, love isn't salvation-it's self-destruction. As Yeonjun and Soobin's quiet tension simmers beneath unspoken words, and San and Wooyoung's passion flares like wildfire, the walls of Haneul begin to crack. Behind every smile lies a secret. Behind every dream, a sacrifice. Because in the end- to love is to fall... and not everyone survives the fall.

Until one assignment comes wrong. There should have been two names. There is only one. Becky Armstrong. A stranger who shouldn't matter. A connection that shouldn't exist. A thread that became gold.

    She was never meant to be a bride. She was a bargain. When her ruthless father trades her hand in marriage as consideration in a dangerous contract, she makes a choice no daughter should ever have to make - marry a cold, arrogant man she has never loved... or watch her younger sister be destroyed. So she walks down the aisle not as a bride, but as a shield. Behind the doors of her husband's empire, she becomes something unexpected. Not a broken girl. Not a victim. But the poised, auburn-haired COO of his company - intelligent, composed, and fiercely independent. An epitome of beauty forged by pain. She refuses to let her past define her. She stands tall. She protects her sister until her long-absent elder brother finally returns and takes the girl away for therapy, unaware of the hell they survived. Her husband? A cold jerk. Calculated. Feared. Untouchable. He tells himself he despises her. Despises the forced marriage. Despises the way she looks at him without fear. But hatred becomes dangerous when admiration begins to slip through the cracks. When his right hand man uncovers the dark truth of her past, everything changes. The "pawn" he thought he married was never weak. She was sacrificed. And the more he learns, the more he realizes something unsettling: Her father didn't just give her away. He used her as payment. Suspicion turns to curiosity. Curiosity turns to protection. Protection turns into something far more dangerous. Now he must decide - will he remain the cold man he has always been... or fight for the woman he was never supposed to love? Because for better or worse, this isn't a temporary arrangement. They will be living together for the rest of their lives. And love, when it grows in darkness, is the most powerful force of all.

And somewhere between flickering candles and glances that last too long... love begins to bloom - right in the middle of the shadows. This isn't just a love story. It's a curse in disguise. And once it begins, nothing stays untouched. > "Don't look at me like that." "Why?

It'll give you shivers in your spine too. Thank you for stepping into Shadow Bloom - where love grows in silence, and not all flowers bloom under the sun. Now hush. Let it begin.
