Ten years.
Ten years of loyalty, silence, and loving him from the corner of his office.
You were his secretary. The efficient, invisible one who showed up early, stayed late, and never asked for more than what he was willing to give-which was nothing outside of work. Choi Seungcheol: your cold, overbearing boss, Seoul's most successful (and insufferable) CEO, and the man who never once looked at you the way you looked at him.
Until the day you quit.
What started as a resignation turns into unraveling truths, unwanted confessions, and a single request from the man who never begged:
Give me one month.
Now you're caught in a second chance you never asked for-with the man you spent a decade trying to forget. He wants to fix things. To be better.
But what if you're too tired to be hurt again?
And what if this time, it's his heart on the line?
Perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers, angsty slow burns, and workplace romance with real emotional bite, Ten Years, One Chance is a story about missed moments, reluctant love, and what happens when the boss finally breaks.

In the final moment before her destruction, Wanda Maximoff " the Scarlet Witch " is pulled into a void beyond time or form. Lost in the abyss of her guilt, a mysterious light touches her... and brings her back. Not to her world, but to another. One where magic is different. Where redemption might take shape: the world of Harry Potter.
When a luminous figure " a doe " shows her the memories of a boy abandoned and mistreated by his relatives, Wanda understands her new purpose: to protect Lily Potter's son. Though she doesn't know why she was chosen, she accepts the deal. In exchange for a chance at redemption, she will care for little Harry.
But Wanda is no ordinary witch. And this world is not ready for her. From the very first moment on Privet Drive, the Dursleys will feel that something has changed.
With power, resolve, and growing compassion, Wanda will face a new destiny. Because this time... no one will touch the boy without facing her.
After all, who better to protect the Boy Who Lived... than the Scarlet Witch herself?
Author's Disclaimer:
This story is loosely inspired by the initial premise of Strange Potter, a work I greatly admire and that served as a creative spark for developing this project. Although the plot, character development, and events are entirely original and distinct, I believe it's only fair to acknowledge that initial influence.
Likewise, this is a non-profit fanfic that blends elements from the Marvel and Harry Potter universes, whose rights belong to their respective creators and owners (Marvel/Disney and J.K. Rowling). This work is made with respect and with the intention of paying tribute to these worlds that so many of us have enjoyed.
