Crownless King by not_leeziijia

He never stood atop the Olympic podium. He never lifted the World Championship trophy. But he ruled the world of badminton with unmatched grace, courage, and resilience. This is the story of Lee Chong Wei, Malaysia's greatest shuttler - a man who turned heartbreak into heroism and defeat into dignity. From his humble beginnings in Bukit Mertajam to holding the World No. 1 ranking for nearly a decade, Lee's journey transcends medals. Battling fierce rivals, national expectations, and personal struggles, he became a symbol of relentless perseverance. Crownless King is more than a sports biography. It's a tribute to a champion who proved that greatness isn't always measured by gold - but by how many times you rise after falling.

Perfect Catch by a_silly_writer

He was the country's rising cricket star-loved, celebrated, untouchable. I was just another face in the crowd, one fan among thousands who screamed his name. But in a single glance, under the blinding stadium lights, something shifted. He caught my eyes-and I caught his heart. Between roaring crowds and silent nights, between fame and fear, he chose me. But what happens when the world discovers that the nation's golden boy has fallen for an ordinary girl? Because in cricket, every catch counts. And this time... I might just be his 𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝘾𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝. --- They call me the nation's golden boy. Every run I score, every match I win, is celebrated like a festival. Millions cheer for me- but at the end of the day, I'm just another boy standing alone in the middle of a crowded stadium. And then I saw her. One face, hidden in thousands. One pair of eyes that didn't look at me like I was a hero, but like I was simply... me. She was never supposed to matter. She was just a fan. But the truth? The moment our eyes met, I knew the game had already changed. Because this time, I wasn't playing for the crowd. 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙝𝙚𝙧.

Jio's heart races every time she passes by. Raisa barely knows he exists. Pero paano kung ang torpeng gaya ni Jio ay matutong lumaban hindi lang para mapansin - kundi para i-level up ang sarili niya? At paano kung ang isang katulad ni Raisa ay matutong huminto, makinig... at mahalin nang hindi kailangang kontrolin ang lahat?

Heir of Nothing by authored_in_disguise

✦ 𝑯𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝑵𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 Book Two of The Cost of Outrunning Fate ∘₊✧──────✧₊∘ Not all thrones are made of gold. Some are built from grit and ghosts. ∘₊✧──────✧₊∘ Vivaan Thaakur was never the one they looked at. He learned early how to stay quiet, how to earn worth through discipline and marks, how to survive without being asked what he needed. Beside him stood Aaryan-admired, assured, already belonging. Not cruel. Just chosen first. Vivaan learned how to exist in that shadow without resentment. And every time Vivaan reached the top, Niya Sharma was already there. She didn't compete. She didn't try. She simply was-brilliant, composed, carrying duty like destiny. To the world, she was perfection. To Vivaan, she was the wall he could never cross. Until one day, she saw him. Rivalry softened into reverence. Ambition into surrender. Vivaan didn't love Niya loudly. He loved her the way prayer loves silence-without demand, without claim. She became his goddess. He became devotion itself, content with distance, surviving on moments, choosing her peace over his presence. But faith can fracture. And one mistake-the only thing he was never meant to do-destroyed the temple he built for her. Now she hates him. And he still kneels.

He Was A Skaterboy | COMPLETE by farahanwrites

If there is someone who you would call Little Miss Perfect, it would be Kiara Moussa. The Pakistani girl with the fair skin, dark hair and eyes who has been voted 'The Sweetheart' two years in a row for the yearbook. With her Bambi like eyes, cheeky laughter, and perpetually sunny disposition, it is easy to believe that she leads a charmed life. She puts on a show of living life as a musical prodigy so effortlessly that no one sees the work she puts in every spare moment that she has or how far she is pushed to achieve perfection. Emre Ersoy had always admired Kiara from afar. Yes, even though he would never admit it out loud, he knew he was crushing on her hard when he picked up the guitar and she smiled her brilliant smile at him. He was 11 and she was 10. He'd wanted to be around her more than he ever let on but they'd both moved into different friend groups and had different interests.
