Aiko is an extremely poor girl. She has less than nothing.
She lives in the Empire of Shintokanai, in a world where men rule.
She is forced to work day and night for her Uncle and Sisters. Until one day, she gets kicked out.
Without power, money or status, Aiko's fleeting moment of joy withers into despair and gloom as she realizes she is doomed to die, hungry and cold on the streets.
She will luckily be saved by Eriko, the head maid of the Emperor's palace.
Aiko will be forced to become a maid. What other choices does she have? Starve or serve. She has just started and she already hates her job.
But what happens, when she catches the Emperor's cold and brutal eye? The Emperor is known for his cruel ways. Deaths are common in the palace, and they stain every corner. He is a horrible man. He adores spilling blood.
Life in the palace is not easy. It is like a never ending maze. Whatever path you will take, can elevate you, or destroy you completely and thoroughly.
Finding a honest person in the mess is hard. What will Aiko find in the Emperor's soul?

Ashes Between Us (18+)
"You don't get to walk away from me again, Hana." His breath was hot against her neck. Her pulse stuttered-fear, anger, desire-it all felt the same when it came to him. "You think I wanted to hurt you?" His voice was low, too steady for the storm in his eyes. "You didn't just hurt me, Sehun," she whispered. "You destroyed everything that made me human." ___---___---___---___---___---___ He ruined her life once. Now he's the only one who can save it.

Your Highness
"I hate you" She hissed with trembling lips, her body drenched by the rain. The coldness stole the lively colour of her lips and replaced it with a shade of dark purple, but even in this state she was stunning. He stepped closer, the distance between them narrowed to near nothing. Seeing her dressed in the long white robe with long hair gracefully falling was different from when he thought she was a mere male guard. He remained silent, simply looking at the girl who didn't fail to show her hatred through the dark beautiful eyes. If looks could kill, he wouldn't be able to reincarnate. "Hating me for killing them or because I didn't follow your demand?" He was close, to the point she felt his warmth despite the drizzling rain. "Or because I didn't died?"

"Starlight in Seoul" ✨🌀
Three months. That's all the Japanese elite council thought they'd spend in Korea - learning the language, wearing hanbok, and eating street food. But the moment Sanemi Shinazugawa's wind collided with Giyuko's starlight, everything changed. She was the Korean girl with a rare cosmic gift... and a tragic past soaked in blood and betrayal. They didn't meet right away - just fleeting hints, whispered stories, a shadow in the crowd - until destiny threw them together under the palace lights. Now, between stolen glances, jealous fights, and hidden kisses, the group faces poisoned roses, street brawls, kidnappings, and the mafia who murdered Giyuko's family. In the end, love might save them... or become the very thing that destroys them. Enemies-to-lovers. Found family. Powers in secret. K-drama romance meets anime action. Because in Seoul, every heartbeat is a battlefield. 💖🔥Complete
