Ehven Sora Clark was born with a face the world refused to accept. Disfigured, torn, and "dislocated," she grew up hidden in shadows, carrying the weight of cruel words-monster, curse, disgrace. To her parents, she was nothing but a burden. To society, a reminder of imperfection. Only her grandmother's love kept her alive, reminding her that she was still human, still worthy of breathing.
When news of a rare face donation program reaches her, Ehven dares to hope for the first time. A chance to be normal. A chance to finally be seen. But accepting a new face also means accepting a new identity-and with it, secrets she never imagined.
The face she inherits once belonged to someone unknown... someone whose life, mysteries, and scars are now etched into her own skin. As Ehven struggles to navigate her family's rejection, society's cruelty, and the burden of carrying another person's face, she discovers that the truth behind her donor may be far darker than she ever expected.
Is a new face enough to change her destiny-or will it only uncover deeper wounds? "For school project purpose only."

The North Sea Beast
"I'll tell you something about myself- I never mince words. Nature is a beast, Henry. We were not created to live in peace within it. Be grateful for those who let you down; pain is the only truth that endures." The sea wind howls a bitter truth across the North Sea coast: betrayal, not love, is the world's only constant. This is not a tale of heroes and villains, but a brutal exploration of the human soul-a mirror reflecting the savage beauty and terrifying depths we all possess. The guilt-ridden, the desperate, and the cunning are all players in a high-stakes legacy that demands a price from every generation. Beneath the veneer of civilized society, a clandestine order pulls the strings, their influence woven into the very fabric of existence. Secrets fester within an ancient bloodline, grasping like tendrils into the present day. Honour clashes with avarice. Integrity squares off against ruthless force. Cunning faces brutality. Who will rise, and who will be consumed by the abyss? Rumors whisper of a slumbering entity, a primal force stirring beneath the surface. Will it awaken and claim its due, or will it remain dormant, a threat forever lurking in the shadows? Prepare to be swept away in an epic saga where the fate of many hangs by a thread, and the true nature of the beast is far more complex than it seems. --- Content Warning: Features an unapologetically cynical and eccentric voice, including scenes of violence, offensive language, and moral ambiguity.

Love In The Shadow (18+ | Litmatch Lovestory)
Prologue - When Hearts Break Betrayal doesn't scream. It whispers. It seeps in like poison, invisible at first, until one day you wake up and realize you've been dying quietly inside. That was me. A wife. A mother. A woman discarded for someone else's smile on a glowing screen. He was supposed to be my forever. Instead, he became my wound. Eight months later, I'm still learning how to breathe without bleeding. Two children look at me with eyes too wise for their years. Han, seventeen, carrying silence like armor. Bella, six, asking me why Ami cries at night when the world is asleep. I tell her it's just allergies. She doesn't believe me. Some nights, I wonder if I still exist beyond the roles I'm forced to carry-mother, provider, survivor. Is there still a woman left inside me? Or did she die the night she saw the truth blinking on his phone? And then, in the middle of that loneliness, I met him. Not in the real world, but behind a username. Mr× A stranger with shadows darker than mine. A man broken by betrayal, scarred by addiction, living with an illness that became his shame. We should have never crossed paths. But broken souls recognize each other. And sometimes, even in the darkest places, love finds a way to whisper back. This isn't a fairy tale. This is a story of two wounded hearts, meeting in the rain of their ruins, daring to dream of sunlight again.
