Jade knows pain intimately - the kind that lingers in your bones and tries to silence your soul. After discovering her fiancé's final betrayal, she's left picking up the pieces of a life she barely recognizes. But buried beneath the wreckage are fragments of someone she used to be - someone she's ready to meet again.
With tequila-stained nights, soul-deep journaling, sacred routines, and friends who remind her she's still magic - Jade begins the slow, powerful work of becoming. She doesn't just survive the heartbreak. She alchemizes it.
This is not just a story about love lost.
It's about a woman who chooses to rise anyway.
To listen to her higher self.
To believe there's still something beautiful ahead.

OBSESSION. too personal
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.Complete
The Soul Collector's Oath
At twenty-three, Althea feels like the world has turned its back on her. Orphaned young and raised by her ailing grandmother, she carries the weight of rejection after rejection, each failed job application a reminder of her dwindling hope. All she wants is one chance - one reason to believe her persistence matters. But when an accident shatters her first day of work, Althea awakens in a realm beyond death. There, she is confronted by the God of Death himself, who reveals that her cries for help have been heard - not by fate, but by him. Faced with the horrifying truth of her own mangled body, Althea is given a choice: Accept judgment like every other soul, risking eternal punishment... Or swear an oath as a Soul Collector, a Grim Reaper tasked with guiding the dead to their final fate. Haunted, terrified, yet desperate to protect her grandmother and cling to life, Althea accepts the offer. Reborn into a double existence - one as an ordinary woman, the other as a reaper bound to death - she must navigate the weight of her new responsibility. But being chosen is not a blessing. Dark spirits lurk at the edges of her vision. The line between the living and the dead grows thin. And the oath she has taken binds her to secrets that could consume her soul. In a world where every choice tips the scale between life and death, Althea must learn that survival is no longer about finding a job - it's about keeping her humanity while serving the God of Death himself.

[1] Apocalypse: Third Rebirth
What would you do when four men come into your life and completely turn it upside down?... All I wanted to do was hide away on my ranch with no one to bother me, but apparently, they had different plans. Luckily for them, this was not my first zombie apocalypse. If they learn to listen, we might just get out of this with our lives. If not, maybe I would finally be able to rest in peace. Li Dai Lu was born and raised Canadian in her first life. This meant that she was taught how to share, how to put others first and to keep the peace as much as she could. However, that all backfired in a spectacular way. Reborn in a new time and place, Li Dai Lu did her best to protect all those that she could from the zombies that were wiping out the human race. Unfortunately for her, those she rescued were not as grateful as they should have been. Killed by the very people she saved, she held her breath and waited for the calm, peacefulness of death. But the Fates were not too accommodating and our heroine woke up in her third life, a year before the zombie apocalypse. This time she would live life on her own terms, and to those that disagreed... well, she would have a few words for them. With four men at her side, she will shed the cloak of civility and become who she was truly meant to be. WARNING!!! This will turn into a Reverse Harem. Mature Content and Vulgar Language on board, and Rage Bait at the start.Complete
