Forward | Rewind to Tomorrow [Michael Jackson]
"It causes your immune system to turn against you," I explained gently. The color terrifyingly drained from his face as he stared at his knuckles. "I have a spot," he whispered, his voice scraping like glass. "Right here." He let out a strangled noise as the stadium footage buffered. "Riley!" he shrieked, covering his burning face while peering through his fingers at his future self. "Those pants leave absolutely nothing to the imagination!" He went so unnaturally still I thought his heart had stopped beating. His charcoal-stained fingers curled into tight fists. "Fifty," he whispered, scanning the fatal summary on the glowing screen. "I am... I am gone at fifty." What if the only way to save your future was to completely abandon your past? In 1982, Michael Jackson is suffocating. Trapped behind his family's compound gates and drowning under industry pressure, the rising star just wants a life of peace and normalcy. The universe answers-violently ripping him from his timeline and dropping him onto the bedroom rug of Riley, a freelance graphic designer in the year 2025. Stranded forty-three years in the future, Michael must face a world that already knows his tragic history. But Riley fiercely refuses to let that history repeat. She offers him the anonymous, ordinary life he always craved, rebuilding his shattered confidence brick by brick and teaching him the radical concept of self-love. More importantly, she arms him with the ultimate weapon: the brutal truth. She gives him the exact names of the snakes hiding in his 1982 backyard, the upcoming betrayals, and the devastating tragedies he is destined to face. When the universe inevitably pulls him back, Michael is no longer the timid pop star terrified of his shadow. He is a king preparing to claim his throne, knowing exactly how to rewrite music history and what it takes to survive. But armed with the future, changing his fate might cost him the one person who taught him how to live.
THE WIFE SHE FORGOT
Five years ago, Ginny and Jayna shared a love that seemed unbreakable. Married and blessed with a beautiful daughter, Pam "Pmmy" Stevens-Natnicha, they had built a life filled with laughter, warmth, and dreams for the future. But tragedy struck in an instant. A car crash took Jayna away from them-or so Ginny thought. Left alone to raise Pmmy, Ginny carried the weight of grief and heartbreak, believing she had lost the love of her life forever. Five years later, fate brings them face to face-but everything has changed. Jayna survived the crash, yet she remembers nothing of Ginny, their marriage, or the daughter she never knew she had. Worse, she's engaged to someone else, living a life crafted by lies and manipulation. Now, Ginny must confront the impossible: Can love survive when memories are gone? Can a heart that has forgotten still recognize the one it was meant to love? The Wife She Forgot is a heart-wrenching WLW story of loss, rediscovery, and the enduring power of love-even when everything else fades away.
RULES AND TROUBLE
Ginny Natnicha, a disciplined and polished transfer professor from abroad, believes that life - and teaching - should follow rules. Everything in order, neat, and predictable. Jayna Stevens, on the other hand, is the exact opposite: stubborn, mischievous, and known campus-wide as a troublemaker. Late for class, always arguing, and somehow managing to get herself into chaotic situations, she's the nightmare of every professor... except Ginny. When Ginny is assigned to teach Jayna's class, sparks fly - and not in the romantic way she expects. But as Jayna challenges every rule, pushes every boundary, and slowly reveals the hidden struggles behind her defiant smile, Ginny begins to see the girl beneath the troublemaker. What starts as a battle of wills soon turns into playful banter, late-night study sessions, and stolen moments that neither can ignore. Between rules, chaos, and campus gossip, Ginny and Jayna may just discover that love doesn't follow the rules - it writes its own. Romance, laughter, and a little bit of mischief collide in this slow-burn, heartwarming WLW story.

WHEN THE HEARTS LEARNS TO STAY
Jayna Stevens has lived her entire life with a heart that may stop without warning. Born with a serious heart condition, she grows up surrounded by hospitals, fear, and the constant reminder that her time may be limited. To protect the people she loves from future pain, Jayna learns to keep her distance-choosing solitude over attachment, silence over hope. Only two people have ever truly remained by her side: her strong and devoted older sister, Jane, and her childhood best friend, Nur. They are her safe world, the only ones she allows close enough to see her vulnerability. Everything changes when Jayna meets Ginny Natnicha. Ginny is warm, hopeful, and full of life-someone who believes in living fully despite uncertainty. Where Jayna sees endings, Ginny sees possibilities. Where Jayna holds back, Ginny offers patience and kindness without asking for anything in return. As their connection deepens, Jayna finds herself torn between two choices: push Ginny away to spare her inevitable heartbreak, or risk love knowing it may not last forever. With every heartbeat carrying both fear and longing, Jayna must decide whether protecting others is worth sacrificing her own chance at happiness. This story is a WLW slow-burn romance about love in borrowed time, the courage to stay despite fear, and the question of whether a fragile heart deserves a love just as powerful as it is fleeting.
Turns Out Curse Immunity Is Awesome!
Nagashima Yuki finally transmigrated. More precisely, she reincarnated, straight into the deadly world of Jujutsu Kaisen. The moment she realized where she was, Yuki was thrilled. "Yes! I even got an awesome cursed technique! Time to join the protagonist squad!" All she had to do now was wait for recruitment. After all, wasn't a certain irresponsible white-haired teacher supposed to show up and bring talented kids to Jujutsu High? So she waited. And waited. And waited. "Why hasn't that white-haired teacher come to pick me up yet?! Hurry up and take me to Jujutsu High already!" But instead of an invitation... She attracted the attention of curse users. Now she's being hunted. Constantly. "Where are you, Gojo Satoru?! If Tokyo Jujutsu High won't take me, what about Kyoto?! Somebody recruit me already, please!!" When her life finally becomes impossible to maintain thanks to endless attacks, Yuki reaches a devastating conclusion: "This JJK production crew is way too dangerous! I quit the protagonist team!" And just before she walks into the darkness to fight it on her own terms, she glances back one last time at the school she once dreamed of joining. With tears in her eyes, she shouts toward the sky- "Gojo Satoru! Do you even know what you've lost?!" *** Gojo Satoru was born the strongest. In his entire life, only two things ever slipped through his fingers because he wasn't strong enough. One was the man who nearly killed him - Toji Fushiguro. The other was the mysterious person who appeared after his revival and took Toji away. Sorcerers inherit techniques. That person could dismantle them. Sorcerers attack with cursed energy. That person was immune. Sorcerers stand for justice. That person simply turned around, and walked into the darkness. Her name was Nagashima Yuki. And in the eyes of the jujutsu world, she was someone who stood completely opposite to sorcerers.Complete
