    ( 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐲 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 #𝟏) "Some storms don't come to destroy... they come to reveal who we truly are." He loved her once - like she was the only light in his dark, shattered world. Now, he can't even bear the sound of her name. Farzeen, the woman who once lived in Mudassir's heart, has become a stranger to him. A cruel twist of fate wiped away every memory of the love they shared - leaving behind only bitterness, hatred... and an unspoken ache buried deep beneath his broken soul. But love isn't always gentle. Sometimes, it tests you. Sometimes, it breaks you before it makes you whole again. Bound by a marriage neither of them chose, Farzeen fights to bring back the man who once cherished her - even as the world turns its back on her after a tragedy that stole everything she was. Will she find the strength to rebuild what fate has broken? Or are some loves meant to live only in memories - forgotten and unforgiven? Because the hardest journey isn't finding love... It's finding your way back to it.

    A realm on the brink of war. A bond that threatens to consume them both. Cora's life takes a dangerous turn when she's thrust into a world of secrets and magic. Mistaken for a fae, her blood is thought to hold the power to restore balance to a crumbling realm. The first thing she learns when she's captured: never trust a dragon. Ash has always known what it means to be feared. He comes from the Third Kingdom, the only realm where dragons remain awake inside their bonded. Considered little better than beasts, the people of the Third live in isolation, training to control the instincts and will of the creature that lives inside them. Alone in the Outlands, he never expected to find a fae. Especially not one like her. When her cry shatters the forest, he understands the instinct that drives him to her side. What he does not anticipate is how fiercely he will have to fight the beast that already sees her as its own. With witches whispering of prophecy and a dark king determined to bring about a new era of ruin, they must choose: fight the fate that binds them or risk becoming the very force that brings the realm to ruin. Because the longer they travel together, the harder it becomes to tell where Ash ends and the dragon begins.

    This is not pretty poetry. These are truths I was never taught to speak. Here lie the words I swallowed, the pain I buried, and the questions they told me not to ask. For the unheard. For the unseen. For the ones who feel too much in a world that tells them to feel less. I write for you. I write for me.

Nine years have passed since Min Danyi escaped Sejeong Academy and dismantled The Verdict, the deadly voting game that ruled her life. She thought she was finally free from the hellish nightmare, until the night reality shattered. Danyi finds herself trapped in a dystopian gameverse known as P A R Λ D I G M - a broken, world that shouldn't exist. Danyi is not alone. Kang Minseo and the surviving Elites are trapped inside the same system, along with dozens of strangers who have built temporary refuge in a fractured district called Sector 26.

Not the mastermind but not innocent either. Danyi must uncover who built PARADIGM, what Sunghoon truly wants, and who among the players will slit a throat for the final key.

    ✨ TEASER - Lee Yn walked into HYBE as a simple legal intern- quiet steps, soft eyes, no expectations. She didn't know two worlds were waiting for her. James saw her first. CORTIS's rising legend. 22, fearless on stage but gentle everywhere else. He fell for her the way dawn falls on a sleeping city- slow, soft, and inevitable. To him, she wasn't just a girl. She was home he never knew he needed. But fate had a cruel symmetry. Taehyung noticed her too. BTS's icon. 32, magnetic, unpredictable. He was never supposed to fall- not for someone so young, not for someone his dongsaeng loved, not for someone who smiled like she could melt his walls. Yet he did. Quietly. Dangerously. Completely. The love triangle didn't begin with confessions. It began with glances. With James watching her laugh- and Taehyung watching James. With Taehyung helping her reach a file- and James feeling his chest tighten. With three hearts beating in the same room, never in the same rhythm. Taehyung's love was obsession wrapped in silence. James's love was devotion wrapped in sunlight. And Yn? She was the gravity neither man could break free from. The world saw two idols. She saw two truths: One loved her like he'd burn the world for her. The other loved her like he'd hold her world together. Only one would win her heart. But until the final moment- no one would know who she would choose. Not even her.

    Two boys once tied together by the purest form of friendship, bonded by innocence, laughter, and childish promises whispered under the safety of their small world. But destiny had darker plans. A single misunderstanding between their families shattered everything. Years later, the friendship that once glowed like sunlight has turned into a cold, burning hatred. Now they stand on opposite sides of the mafia underworld-bound by their past, divided by their present, and destroyed by everything they never dared to say. Yet fate is cruel. Because even after years of rivalry, betrayal, and bloodshed... their hearts beat a strange, undeniable rhythm whenever they face each other- a rhythm born from love they refuse to accept and hate they cannot let go of. Caught between the war they inherited and the love they never understood, they must choose: Will destiny give them another chance to rewrite their story... or will their hearts be ruined by the hatred that keeps pulling them apart?

    "He loved her not to be loved back, but to remind her what love was meant to be." °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Aradhya Khanna stopped believing in forever the day her mother walked away. She grew up watching her father hide heartbreak behind gentle smiles, and somewhere along the way, love turned into something she didn't trust anymore. Now a successful interior designer with walls higher than her dreams, she lives her life by one rule-never expect too much from anyone. So when her father asks her to marry Rudransh Malhotra, his best friend's son and her childhood protector, she agrees... not for love, but for him. Rudransh has loved her quietly for years-through her anger, her silence, and the distance she built between them, she's always been the reason behind his patience, and now... his pain. In a marriage that begins out of duty, will love find its way through the cracks of old wounds? Or will Aradhya's fear of losing love again destroy the one person who always chose her-selflessly? Because sometimes, the most selfless love is the one that waits... and heals.

    Sequel di "Quel filo invisibile" Prima o poi arriverà quel giorno in cui incontrerai l'amore. E non sarà semplice, perché l'amore vero porta con sé gioia e dolore, sorrisi e lacrime, momenti che ti stravolgono e ti cambiano per sempre. Il destino a volte ci lega a persone che non ci aspettiamo, a incontri che sembrano casuali eppure sono scritti nel filo invisibile della vita. E scoprirai che il vero amore non è necessariamente quello che dura per sempre, ma quello che ti fa provare emozioni così profonde da segnarti l'anima, quello che ti fa sentire vivo in modi che non credevi possibili. Ci sono amori che sopravvivono al tempo, alle scelte, alla distanza. Perché il vero amore non finisce quando due persone si separano, ma resta, silenzioso. Amare, a volte, significa farlo anche quando non si è più insieme.

    He'd left her a note and a cold cup of coffee. That's how Mara's world ended, quietly, normally, and tragically. Grief came in small details: his jacket still by the door, the mug with her lipstick print, the phone that lit up with his name she could not make herself answer. Every small thing, hurts. But the city doesn't stop for broken hearts. The rain still falls, the bread still bakes, strangers still smile. And as Mara staggers under sorrow, she finds herself stretched between the agony of memory and the fragile hope of tomorrow. This is not a story of perfect love. This is a story of losing big, of surviving by a thread, and of making beauty from the fissures that are left behind. A story where kindness comes in the form of warm croissants, a stranger's guitar, and a laugh that surprises her in the darkness. And when Mara eventually masters folding the note and tucking it away, she finds out something she never anticipated: heartbreak isn't forever. Not when life continues to move on. Not when healing arrives in tiny, stubborn bits. Not when hope, despite everything, still wants to be discovered. Until It Doesn't Hurt is a gritty, emotional romance about endings that shatter us, beginnings that rebuild us, and the quiet miracle of falling in love again.
