OBSESSION. too personal by _Jane_D_O_E

This could have been a gentle story for quiet autumn evenings. But it shattered against Morphine - a chapter that will not let you stay indifferent. And now, you'll understand why. This is not a story about perfect love. It's about healing through pain, about love that blooms after trauma, and about the fragile line between salvation and obsession. She is a woman rebuilding herself from the ashes. Not strong - simply real. A mother. A fighter. A writer whose words cut deeper than truth itself. She doesn't want to be someone's muse - she only wants to be understood. He is the man the world worships... and fears. A legend. A symbol of an era. But behind the fame, there's a man haunted by his own darkness. Together, they are fire and gasoline - two broken souls learning how to love without losing themselves. Their story isn't a fairytale. It's an age-gap dark romance about redemption, grief, and the courage to love again. With touch. With words. With silence between the lines.

Winter in His Heart || Solo Leveling AU by CaribbeanQxeen

In the bustling city of Seoul, Yoon Hana, a 25-year-old woman with a warm smile and a quiet resilience, has always believed life is best lived simply. After years of working odd jobs to support her younger sister through school, she finally lands a stable position as a live-in nanny for a young boy named Sung Suho, the bright but lonely son of an enigmatic tech CEO. Her employer? Sung Jinwoo, 30 years old, CEO of one of Korea's fastest-growing AI companies-and a man wrapped in layers of silence and sorrow. Three years ago, Jinwoo lost his wife, Cha Hae-In, to a tragic car accident. Since then, he's buried himself in work, shielding his grief behind cold professionalism and long hours. He's a brilliant father but a distant one-present in body, but miles away in spirit. Suho, five years old and precocious beyond his years, has learned to smile through the ache, but his heart longs for warmth. When Hana enters their lives, she brings more than just structure and bedtime stories. She brings laughter back into Suho's world... and, unknowingly, begins to thaw the frozen corners of Jinwoo's heart. But falling in love with a man still mourning his wife is never simple. As Hana navigates the fine lines between professionalism and emotion, she finds herself caught between guilt, longing, and the ache of something unspoken. And Jinwoo must face the question he's long avoided: can he open his heart again without betraying the memory of the woman he once loved?
