The Rabbit's Liver
Naomi Ayase thought the hardest part was losing her mother. She was wrong. Now trapped in the opulent Amamiya estate, the girl finds herself under the "protective" care of her stepfather-Ryuji Amamiya, a powerful yakuza boss who treats her like precious, fragile cargo. What began as temporary guardianship has stretched into a year of isolation, private tutors, and increasingly suffocating concern for her "safety." As Naomi finally begins to emerge from her grief, she realizes the truth: Ryuji has no intention of letting her go. Ever. His gentle words and paternal touches carry an undercurrent she can't quite name, and his promises of protection feel more like threats with each passing day. Desperate to escape to college in America, Naomi begins plotting her freedom. But she's underestimated her opponent. Ryuji didn't become the head of a centuries-old criminal organization by letting what he covets slip away-and he's decided that includes his late wife's daughter. ➽──────────────❥ You can expect: Yakuza doing Actual Yakuza Things (TM), Yakuza members trying to uncles/brothers/dads, ruthless rich kids, hurt/comfort and unlikely friendships. ➽──────────────❥ Title is from the Korean folktale by the same name.

Before she can catch her breath, she's thrust into the eccentric world of the Watanabe family and forced to befriend her new sister.

You would've been shocked except you'd been caught off guard so many times today that you started to feel immune to it. The lack of shock made it easier to feel the warmth that flooded into you when he voiced his idea. "That sounds great. Should I...change?", you meekly asked, certain he understood what you were referring to. The purple-haired man shrugged as he asked, "What's the point? I already saw it. It's only a big deal if we make it into one." You smiled at his philosophy. "Lead the way, Toshi", you tried out the nickname you came up with while Hitoshi was away. The man raised an eyebrow at you but you spotted a forming smile before he turned and unlocked the apartment.Complete
Crimson Petals In The Storm
In the dying days of the Kingdom of Hoshinawa, gentle Princess Aiko lives a life of silk and silence - untouched by war, unaware of how swiftly her world will burn. When her family home is ambushed and everything she knows is lost, fate delivers her into the arms of a lone samurai - a man of few words, haunted eyes, and a blade that has tasted too much blood. He was meant to be her enemy. She was never meant to survive. Bound by honor, torn by destiny, their paths intertwine in a tale of war, loyalty, and forbidden love - where every falling cherry blossom hides a secret, and every heartbeat risks betrayal. As kingdoms crumble and storms rise, can love bloom amid the ashes... or will duty destroy them both? ⸻ Copyright © Cuteface007 2025. All rights reserved.
