She never thought she'd end up in a place like this.
Not after everything she'd already survived. Not after childbirth. Not after the shame of poverty and the nights she cried herself to sleep with a baby in her arms and an empty fridge.
ISung -mi was a girl with nothing left to lose - except the one thing that mattered most: her daughter.
So when the card came - - she said yes.
Not to win.
Not to kill.
But to make sure that little girl would grow up in a world where her mother tried.
What she didn't expect was meeting an older gentle man called Seong Gi-hun - kind, broken, foolish, and brave.
And She didn't expect to meet In-ho, the masked man in the shadows, whose silence spoke louder than the screams.
in the Games, everyone dies.
And love, even the quiet kind, always demands a price.

Married to the devil CEO: his obsession her vengeance
*Lu Jingyan's life crumbled before her eyes.* From a prestigious family to nothing overnight-her father collapsed from a heart attack and slipped into a coma. Her mother, heartless and selfish, abandoned them without looking back. Left alone to care for her fragile younger brother, bullied and broken, Jingyan had no choice but to drop out of college and take on countless part-time jobs just to keep them afloat. The weight of hospital bills, loneliness, and despair nearly crushed her. Until *Leng Xuanmo* walked into her life. Cold, mysterious, and dangerously composed, he was the kind of man people feared to even whisper about. The truth? He wasn't just a businessman-he was the silent ruler of *Blood Shadow Hall*, a mafia organization known for its ruthless grip on the underworld. "Why don't you be my wife?" he asked her one night. Jingyan blinked. "Why should I be your wife?" "If you become my wife," he said, voice like steel, "you'll understand." He promised her the world-power, protection, and a path back to the top. She told him she had nothing left to give. But he simply looked at her and said, "You'll give me more than you know." For her father, her brother, and her revenge... Lu Jingyan took his hand. "Fine. I'll be your wife." And with a single signature, she stepped into a new life-one of power, danger, and a love she never saw coming.

married in silence
Jisoo had always believed in love-the kind that made your heart race, the kind that made the world feel lighter when you were with someone. She never imagined that love could be ripped from her hands so abruptly, leaving only emptiness in its place. Suho, the man she thought she would spend her life with, had become a chapter that ended too soon, and yet, life had a crueler twist in store. Across the city, Taehyung was fuming behind the polished doors of his family estate. A man of discipline, control, and icy perfection, he had never tolerated unpredictability-least of all heartbreak. But when the woman he had planned to marry left him at the very last moment, his life, which had always been neatly ordered, fell into chaos. And now, by the insistence of his parents, he was to marry... a stranger. Their worlds collided in a contract neither wanted. Jisoo, heartbroken and betrayed by circumstance, faced the unimaginable: leaving the only love she had ever known, stepping into the arms of a man who made no effort to hide his disdain. Taehyung, stern, serious, and unyielding, saw only annoyance in her presence-a living reminder of a life he hadn't chosen. Forced together by duty, surrounded by expectations, and burdened with resentment, they entered a marriage built on obligation, not affection. Yet, fate has a way of twisting the simplest truths. In stolen glances, accidental touches, and moments of vulnerability, the icy walls around Taehyung's heart would begin to crack-and Jisoo, the girl he claimed to despise, would be the one to see the man behind the cold mask. This was a story of hate that simmered too close to love, of a bond forged in resentment that would test every limit of the heart, and of two people who had no choice but to discover that sometimes, love comes when you least expect it... and often, in the most unwilling hearts.Lengkap

Becoming The Third
Prologue The darkness of the past loomed over her like a shadow, a constant reminder of the pain and suffering she had endured. Her mother's tears, her father's abuse, the toxic cycle of violence that had defined her childhood - it was a legacy she had vowed to break, but one that continued to haunt her. As she stood in the silence of her room, the memories came flooding back. The sound of her mother's sobs, the smell of her father's anger, the feeling of being trapped in a world that seemed determined to consume her. She had thought that she had escaped, that she had found a way to break free from the chains of her past. But the truth was, she was still trapped. Trapped in a cycle of abuse, trapped in a relationship that was slowly draining the life from her. She looked at herself in the mirror, and saw a reflection that was both familiar and foreign. The bruises on her lip, the fear in her eyes - it was a sight she had grown accustomed to, but one that still filled her with a deep sadness. She knew that she deserved better, that she was worth more than the pain and suffering she had endured. But the question was, would she ever be able to find the strength to walk away, to leave the past behind and forge a new future? The answer, she knew, lay in the unknown. It was a journey she would have to take, one step at a time, one breath at a time. And as she stood there, frozen in the silence of her room, she knew that she would have to find the courage to take that first step, no matter how daunting it seemed.Lengkap
