Kai Valdez was once the golden boy of Silicon Valley, a tech visionary whose groundbreaking innovations were set to change the world. But when his company crumbled under the weight of scandal and betrayal, so did his spirit. With his reputation in shambles and nowhere left to turn, Kai leaves it all behind, disappearing to the far-off shores of Dove Isle-a quiet island where the past is just a distant whisper.

On this peaceful speck of land, Kai finds refuge in the most unexpected place: a small, unassuming diner. Swapping his sleek suits for a chef's apron, he starts anew as the cook, serving up hearty meals and comforting smiles to the tight-knit community. The locals, a colorful mix of dreamers and survivors, have no idea of his former life, and Kai is more than happy to keep it that way.

As he navigates the slow rhythm of island life, Kai becomes entwined in the stories of those around him: the fierce artist who's afraid to love again, the wise fisherman with a broken heart, and the young waitress struggling to make ends meet. Each person he meets helps him see that while he may have lost his way, he hasn't lost his chance to make a difference.

But when a familiar face from his past arrives on Dove Isle, Kai must decide whether to confront the world he left behind or continue hiding in the shadows. With his newfound family, Kai learns that sometimes the greatest success isn't measured in wealth or fame but in finding peace and purpose in the simplest of places.

In the end, all it takes is one quiet island to teach him that life's true second chances don't always come with a spotlight.

Who is the real daughter: Miss lin takes no nonsense after her rebirth by prettykarinaa
148 parts Ongoing
Lin Yin was an unfortunate girl who lived in the slums for eighteen years because of mistaken identities at birth. Even though she was brought back to live with her real parents, there was no place for her amongst them. She was constantly bullied and scolded for no reason; her own biological parents would leave her in the dirt just because Su Fei shed a tear. Swindled, and betrayed the very person she fell in love with, she was finally going to escape her dark life when she realized that it was all a setup - that she was just a clown. She dragged her poisoned body as she tried to escape, but she was killed regardless at the loud crack of a gunshot. Her departed spirit watched as her biological parents coldly said, "She has never been our daughter. Burn her, throw her into the dirt - you can do whatever you like." As the guest left, a man stood sighing with sympathy. "Take her to a funeral home. Let's hope that in her next life, she can live for herself and not suffer so much grief." How laughable it was that she had lived for so long, but a stranger turned out to be the one who gave her a proper funeral! Soon, Lin Yin lost consciousness, and woke up to find that she had gone back in time, to the first year after she returned to the Su family! This time, she decided to live for herself without compromise! Still, just as she thought she would have to do this alone, she never imagined that she would be reunited with three brothers, although they never showed up in her last life! They were Mu Heng, the magnate, Mu Qing, the prodigious doctor, and Mu Ran, the heartthrob and movie star! In her last life, she gave her heart to the wrong people and suffered a tragic end, but in this life, her brothers were pampering her to death! Mu Heng: She's my sister! I'll protect her! Mu Qing: Who dares bully my sister! Mu Ran: She's my sister! I'll spoil her! Lu Ming: She's my wife! I'll watch over her! Mu Heng, Mu Qing, and Mu Ran: Get out! PS: For offline purposes
My Ex - Crush by thefadedwhite
102 parts Ongoing
"I wish I had never met you!" Deepika's voice echoed across the classroom, each word a dagger to my heart. "Excellent! At least we finally agree on something!" I fired back, even as a tear betrayed the storm of emotions within me. With those final, stinging words, Deepika stormed out, leaving a heavy silence in her wake. The classroom felt like a graveyard, and I stood there, rooted to the spot, desperately wishing I could chase after her and demand the truth. Maybe letting her go was the right choice. Perhaps this is meant to be my unfinished love story, a tale of what-ifs and almosts... ✨ No Deepika. This can't be his bike. Not Arjun's. But I couldn't deny what I saw-the familiar brown Royal Enfield, now twisted and crushed. My heart hammered as I circled around, hoping, praying it wasn't true, until my gaze landed on the number plate: TN56 0809. Arjun's bike. Deepika! Stop imagining things! Arjun would be fine! I felt the world shift, the noise around me blurring into a single, deafening hum. Ambulance and police sirens echoed, and a stranger's voice broke through: "Two boys. Spot dead. College students." I clutched my chest, gasping for air as reality slammed into me. "Arjun..." I whispered, barely holding myself together. Tears stung my face as I sank beside the wreck. "No, Please, No!" My voice cracked as the weight of regret settled in, suffocating me. ✨ Ex-Crush: More than just a crush, but a little less than love. ✨ Arjun and Deepika were hopelessly in love-only they never realized it. Will they find their way to each other, or will their love story remain forever unfinished? ✨ Join Arjun and Deepika on a journey back to those dreamy college days-days where every moment felt eternal, love was unspoken yet ever present, where friendship bloomed like wildflowers, offering a sanctuary from the harsh winds of reality. Come, wander with them through the corridors of college days, where the echoes of laughter still linger.
