The Billionaire's Courier Contract

By @john1208

Ignacio Vargas rules the underworld’s apex financial empire, the Vespera Syndicate.

With only three months left, he delivers spicy noodles to Lestari Ouyang, an heiress cornered by her snobby relatives and a looming hostile takeover. Lestari has a secret: a rare genetic form of synesthesia that allows her to see the true financial gravity of any person. While her family sees a grease-stained delivery boy, Lestari is blinded by Ignacio’s supernova-like aura of pure wealth. Desperate, she hires him as her fake fiancé to deter her greedy suitors. As her elitist family and arrogant corporate rivals line up to humiliate the 'trash courier,' Ignacio gleefully plays the part of the shameless gold-digger. But as real feelings bloom and the hostile takeover threatens Lestari's life, Ignacio prepares to shed his courier jacket. What happens when the elite of Marantha realize the impoverished delivery boy they’ve been spitting on is the very apex predator they worship?

Four Stars for the Phantom Heir

By @john1208

Zorion Kest is an urban legend. As the phantom founder of the Oculon Syndicate, he controls the city's economy from the shadows. But to fulfill his late mentor's bizarre dying wish, he must survive one year as a lowly courier for the gig-app Velocity-X while maintaining a perfect 5.0 rating.

His Sightless Shore

By @john1208

Lenya has spent her life in the Sunken Ring, a brutal arena where she was conditioned never to show weakness, never to cry. After a daring escape, she awakens on a storm-wracked islet, inside an ancient lighthouse that hums with forgotten power. Its sole occupant is Stellan, a towering, gentle man blinded by a corrosive blight, who perceives the world through the vibrant auras of living things.

She discovers her tears - the one thing she was trained to suppress - are the only substance that can soothe the blight eating away at Stellan's eyes. As they slowly lower their guards, Lenya begins to heal his sight, while Stellan’s quiet strength offers her a peace she's never known. But Stellan is not just a hermit; he is the last warden of a prison for a primordial entity, the very same entity the Sunken Ring's masters seek to resurrect. Can Lenya learn to cry for a man she's falling for, knowing that restoring his sight might be the final key to unlocking the apocalypse?

Depth-Charged Heart

By @john1208

I was just trying to survive a mutant trench-hound attack when my blood started boiling. Thanks to my uncle spiking my oxygen rig with a black-market heat-toxin, I crashed my submersible into a luxury dreadnought and did the unthinkable: I used the terrifying Abyssal Commander Vannor to stabilize my core temperature, then fled into the deep. Now, I'm hiding in plain sight as a lowly filtration intern at his own naval base, spending my days napping in the warm water pipes while he violently interrogates every syndicate in Pelagosa to find the woman who left behind only a coral-scented compression scarf. The man is obsessed, ripping apart the city's criminal underbelly just to find me. It's the perfect cover - until a scavenger cartel manages to decrypt the dreadnought's damaged black box footage. With a double agent breathing down my neck and my uncle's shocking true motives coming to light, my lazy days are officially over. How long until the Commander realizes his most useless intern is the fugitive he's hunting?

When Daska can no longer bear to watch her proud rival suffer over his forbidden feelings, will her shocking confession tear their harmony apart, or unleash the power they need to survive?

By @john1208

Senzhi wakes up mid-transmigration being pelted with overripe cabbages, publicly disowned by her highborn family for carrying a fatherless child. Her first thought? Good riddance. Her second?

By @john1208

Teozcal is a terrifying sun-warrior with a heart of gold. Convinced his fierce rival Itzelia drove his sister to suicide, he vows cold, calculated ruin. His revenge begins with a strange delivery: a preserved gloom-beast heart - intended as a death threat, but hilariously misinterpreted by Itzelia as a romantic proposal.

Realizing his trusted mentor manipulated him, the once-cheerful Teozcal plunges into desperate, tear-soaked angst.

The Queen Who Bloomed in Winter

By @john1208

I am Queen Zoryana of Kaskov, the Iron Bloom, ruler of a court of vipers. My reign is fragile, and my council demands I produce an heir or a sign of divine favor to silence the whispers of rebellion. Marriage is a cage I refuse to enter, so I choose the latter. Legend speaks of the Lumina Petal, a mythical flower that blooms only for a true sovereign, and my royal greenhouse is my last hope. I strike a deal with Stellan, its infuriatingly optimistic head gardener: cultivate the Lumina Petal for me, and he can name any reward. He asks for nothing but my trust. While I navigate assassination attempts and political schemes, Stellan tends to my forgotten greenhouse, somehow coaxing life from barren soil. He sees past the crown to the woman beneath, offering unwavering faith when all others offer flattery and plots. But as impossible buds begin to form on the ancient vine, I realize the whispers about the Lumina Petal were incomplete. It doesn't just legitimize a ruler - it consumes them.

The Gloam King's Hollow Bride

Veleshka woke up in a freezing, opulent bed, coughing up black blood. She had transmigrated into the doomed human bride of the terrifying Gloam King, Olekshar, precisely at the moment of her supposed demise.

By @john1208

But after a magical mishap, she wakes up on a freezing tundra altar in a flimsy silk dress, having swapped bodies with a runaway tribute. She is now the "fated human mate" offered to the Qol-Gar - a reclusive pack of giant, feral northern wolves infamous for shredding interlopers.

She weaponizes her giant, furry space-heaters to carry her books, fetch her tea, and obliterate rival Alphas trying to kidnap her. But how long can she keep up the act before the pack realizes she's the most cold-blooded monster on the mountain?

The Accidental Martyr of Shibao

By @john1208

It started with a delivery I never asked for. A man on a bicycle handed me a heavy, red silk-wrapped box declaring me a 'Local Hero.' My grand heroic act? I was napping under a broken tractor, rolled over in my sleep, and accidentally kicked a wrench that knocked a visiting provincial director out of the path of a falling timber. The reward for my 'valor' was an immediate appointment as Head of the New Progress Initiative. It’s a literal trap: if my initiative fails, I'm shipped off to a disciplinary camp; if it succeeds, I'll be burdened with endless administrative labor. I just want to reach my twentieth birthday in six months and legally retire to my hammock! My only line of defense is Liang Bo, my relentlessly cheerful husband who thinks my chronic, sarcastic apathy is a sign of deep philosophical wisdom. He insists on doing twice the labor to pamper me, while Qiao Meilin, the ambitious educated youth next door, ruins her health trying to steal my 'glorious' position. As Liang Bo accidentally over-achieves on my behalf and the deadlines loom, can I escape this bureaucratic prison before I'm accidentally promoted to the capital?

Unwilling to let her fragile younger sister, Danica, suffer the ensuing media circus, the world-weary and endlessly sarcastic Otylia drags her to the freezing, isolated slopes of Mount Vintara.

But as Otylia checks off Jurek's seemingly innocent tasks, the atmospheric peace shatters.

They barely escape the mountain's wrath, fleeing back to the safety of the city. But when Leszek suddenly appears at Otylia’s apartment door amidst a torrential downpour, she realizes the nightmare followed them home.

The Orchid Algorithm

By @john1208

The Black-Crane Vows

By @john1208

The story opens at the deathbed of Vordhal’s Chief Assessor, whose final, malicious act is denying both Dagna and Corvan their long-awaited promotions. To survive the devastating Gray-Blight rationing without their expected wages, Dagna, a ruthlessly calculating record-keeper, proposes a strictly practical marriage to her bitterest rival: Corvan, a meticulous, entirely unromantic accountant.

Meanwhile, Dagna investigates a string of missing tenement residents, while Corvan secretly audits a massive deficit in the city's coal reserves. The chilling twist?

Neon Rain and Brazen Confessions

By @john1208

The rain was still slick on the windshield when my car plummeted over the bridge. I died as Commander Senira, carrying the crushing guilt of refusing to visit my silent childhood friend, Vashir, on his hospital deathbed. But when I opened my eyes, I wasn't dead. It was an ordinary Tuesday morning, I was pouring a cup of synth-caf, and staring into the mirror at the face of Liyana - the spoiled heiress engaged to Oshur, the very scumbag who orchestrated our downfalls. My morning immediately went wrong as I realized Oshur's coup was happening tonight. I have no time for subtle investigations. My new strategy? Crash the Grand Assembly, grab a microphone, and shamelessly declare my undying, obsessive love for Vashir in front of the entire city. My aggressive affection leaves the usually cold Vashir completely flustered, providing the perfect cover to stick by his side and systematically destroy Oshur's network. Though the atmosphere crackles with a slow-burn romantic tension, my true goal isn't courtship - it's preventing a city-wide massacre. But as my loyal best friend hides a deadly secret and Vashir starts recognizing my soul beneath this stolen face, will my brazen masquerade be enough to save him?

Dodging the Monsoon

By @john1208

Chailai is currently dodging flying stools, shattered glass, and a very angry river-mercenary. It is just another Tuesday in the floating city of Wiangthara, where she plays a cheerful, empty-headed silk-weaver to mask her true work as an underground spy. But when General Natthawut - the man an ancient family prophecy explicitly warned would slaughter her entire bloodline - steps into the tavern mid-brawl, Chailai does the only logical thing: she literally sprints out a window in the opposite direction. Desperate to lose him in the alleyways, she throws on a culturally taboo, hideously ugly brass funeral mask. Unfortunately, as she trips over her own feet, the heavy mask flies off her face and perfectly deflects a poisoned assassin’s dart meant for the General’s throat. Now, the most dangerous man in the realm thinks his guardian angel hates his guts. No matter how fast Chailai runs from banquets and markets, Natthawut is always there, his bittersweet, unspoken devotion growing with every clumsy escape. When he finally traps her against a wall to demand why she despises him, Chailai realizes her secret investigation into a shadowy syndicate and the ancient curse she is fleeing are the exact same conspiracy. Can she rewrite her destiny before it catches her?

Reborn as the Extinct Dragon's Mate

By @john1208

Voroka lies choking on her own blood on her deathbed, her mate bond violently severed by Kravath - the Alpha who foolishly believed she sold their pack’s defensive runes to their enemies. In her final, agonizing moments, a desperate royal prisoner breaks into her cell and performs a forbidden soul-swap to escape an impending execution. The prisoner dies in Voroka's broken body, but Voroka wakes up in the prisoner's flawless, deeply despised form.

Here, Voroka discovers her new host body is a legendary royal hybrid of wolf and extinct dragon. She must survive alongside Zulkor, a terrifying, supposedly extinct dragon shifter who loathes her host's bloodline. But Voroka’s world-weary sarcasm and lethal new powers ignite an undeniable fated bond between them. As Voroka rises from the ashes, a remorseful Kravath arrives begging the Sect for military aid, eerily drawn to the veiled hybrid warrior who fights exactly like his murdered mate. What will Kravath do when the mask finally shatters, and he is forced to kneel before the very woman he discarded - and her monstrous new king?

Simmering Regrets and Ticking Clocks

By @john1208

It started as a perfectly ordinary, miserable morning. I burned my toast, complained to my cat about the endless Kravikan rain, stepped off the curb to buy some milk, and got instantly flattened by a runaway steam-carriage. The next thing I know, I'm waking up five years in the past. Back then, I was a selfish brat who accidentally crushed my childhood friend Varek's legs in a reckless subterranean treasure hunt, only to abandon him out of guilt and run off with Jolvan - the shiny, manipulative scumbag who eventually ruined my life. Not this time. I am older, infinitely more tired, and completely out of patience for Jolvan's theatrics. Instead of joining his faction, I marched straight to Varek's dusty workshop, tied on an apron, and started making a hearty spiced stew. My plan is simple: aggressively care for the stoic tinkerer, keep his belly full, and systematically destroy Jolvan's reputation on the side. The only hitch? The magical backlash of the carriage crash left a glowing timer on my wrist. I have exactly 365 days before my soul expires. I just wanted to set Varek up for a happy, comfortable life before I fade away - so why is this famously cold inventor suddenly getting so flustered, and what happens when he figures out my secret?

Anchor of Ash and Fangs

By @john1208

When Nivara arrives under a false name to treat a wounded pack member, her bare hands accidentally touch Tavrok, the massive, hulking Alpha. Instantly, her touch neutralizes his feral bloodlust, binding them in a biological survival tether. Tavrok becomes suffocatingly overprotective, treating the abrasive nurse like a fragile glass doll and going utterly berserk whenever her reckless temper leads her into the dangerous bogs. But a dark threat looms: the Mourn-Blight, an eerie magical sickness that rots only humans who enter the pack lands. With her stolen identity unraveling and her lungs slowly filling with cursed ash, can Nivara break the pack's curse before the Blight claims her life?

Al otro día Alan un poco tímido le dice a Neriah que si tenía alguna oportunidad con su amiga pero Neriah le dice que no sabrá decirle porque a Lya no le interesaba nadie aún, en el transcurso de la clase se llevaron muy bien haciendo bromas sin sentido (porque los dos tenían un sentido del humor muy malo) entre los recreos cortos entre clases . A la hora de salida Alan invita a salir a Lya y está aceptada, cuando termina la cita Lya le cuenta a Neriah que la paso bien con Alan pero que no despertó nada en ella. Al otro día Neriah ve a Alan antes de entrar a clases y el le cuenta que la pasó bien con su amiga pero que no pasó nada más. Así transcurren 2 meses y Alan y Neriah se hacen más cercanos, haciendo bromas del tipo como se escribe capitan en matemáticas? kπtan y otros chistes, además de molestar con que Alan le parecía gay a Neriah y Alan le preguntaba que estaba leyendo Neriah en ese momento (a Neriah le encanta leer sobre todo dark romance, sobre mafia y muchas novelas chinas de trans emigración) y la empieza a molestar diciéndole sun cha

The Gilded Cage's Keeper

By @john1208

Katarina 'Kat' Volkovich is the best private security specialist in the neon-drenched metropolis of Volgograd-Prime, a shadow forged by grief and hardened by the loss of her former partner. Her new assignment is everything she detests: protecting Aleksei Kostrov, the hedonistic heir to the Kostrov Syndicate, a man whose recklessness is as legendary as his family's corporate empire. Bound by a promise made to his dying father - a man she once respected - Kat is trapped in a 24/7 protection detail with a client she'd rather see take a bullet. Aleksei sees Kat as just another warden in his gilded cage, a cold, sarcastic obstacle to his freedom. But as the attempts on his life escalate from crude attacks to masterfully orchestrated traps, he begins to see the lethal professional beneath her world-weary exterior. Forced into close quarters, their animosity ignites a dangerous spark, blurring the lines between duty and desire. But Kat's past self left more than just a promise; she left a trail of encrypted clues, a hidden agenda that suggests Aleksei's protection is about more than just survival. Can Kat protect him from his enemies without succumbing to a plan her own ghost set in motion?

Lord of Ash and Oddities

By @john1208

Lord Kazimierz Radek is the most feared man in the smog-shrouded city of Kovelle. A ruthless industrial magnate and master of Shadow Weaving, he is known for his cold efficiency and the whispering rumors of a curse that haunts his bloodline. When his family's greatest rivals, the Votocheks, default on a generations-old debt, he demands payment in the form of their most valuable asset: their daughter, Veronika, a brilliant archivist renowned for her eidetic memory. Kazimierz expects a weeping damsel; he gets a woman who immediately starts reorganizing his library and color-coding his assassination contracts. Veronika, for her part, is pragmatic. Her new life is a problem to be solved. The lord is cold, his automaton butler is far too cheerful, and the manor seems to be actively trying to trip her. But when she stumbles upon Kazimierz in a state of utter panic, not from a looming threat, but from a single pigeon on his windowsill, she glimpses the traumatized boy beneath the monstrous facade. Can her logical approach to life possibly find a solution for a man whose heart is governed by an illogical fear?

Cold Haven

By @john1208

I was running on exactly three hours of sleep, an IV drip of caffeine, and crushing depression when my estranged father died. His final act? Handing me the deed to a remote cabin in the Vulkari Peaks. Desperate to escape my soul-crushing job as a logistics dispatcher for a soulless megacorp, I packed up my teenage brother, Bram, and fled to the snow. Enter Calder Hest. The quiet, broad-shouldered innkeeper next door chopped wood, made terrible jokes, and brewed excellent coffee. For the first time in years, my chest stopped aching. I thought I'd finally found a fleeting slice of peace. I was dead wrong. The cabin wasn't a gift to help me heal; it was a beacon designed by my father's enemies to lure us to a killbox with no witnesses. Suddenly, my relaxing vacation turns into a high-octane bloodbath in the snow, and Calder reveals a lethal set of black-ops skills that definitely aren't on an innkeeper's resume. We barely survive, and I flee back to the city to hide. But when a knock echoes through my apartment door in the pouring rain, and Calder is standing there bleeding, I have to ask: did the danger follow me, or did my heart?

Bound to the Ash-Reaper

By @john1208

Bahar’s ordinary morning routine of sharpening blades and dodging barracks inspection goes horribly wrong when a vivid, blood-drenched nightmare strikes: Kadir, the Bastion’s most lethal and silent warrior, is destined to butcher her and her entire squad during the upcoming Ascension Rite. Desperate, fiercely loyal to her friends, and intensely hot-tempered, Bahar decides to legally disqualify herself from his combat roster by faking a sudden engagement to a wealthy civilian merchant. But her clumsy evasion backfires spectacularly. The Bastion’s ancient Rune-Core detects the immense magical friction between them and interprets it as a 'Perfect Resonance.' Instead of being discharged, Bahar is soul-tethered to Kadir, meaning they now share pain, power, and an inescapable magnetic proximity. Forced to fight side-by-side in the infested ash-wastes, Bahar waits for Kadir to reveal his murderous nature. But when a cave-in traps them in the dark, she witnesses a shockingly gentle side to the supposed monster. As the system rewards their violent synergy with the coveted Vanguard’s Crown, they realize the prize is actually a lethal snare. Can they break the tether before the fortress feeds them to the abyss?

Where the Violets Weep

By @john1208

Bastien Valois is a painter with more debt than inspiration. His last hope is a dirt-cheap inheritance: a decaying manor in the rain-slicked town of Brumeport. But the house comes with a tenant - a voice in his head named Léonie, the ghost of a girl who died within its walls. She can't see the world, but she can see his memories, and he can only hear her voice, a constant, bittersweet presence. Together, they piece together the fragmented memories of her 'accidental' death. As Bastien paints her recollections, a chilling truth emerges from the canvas: Léonie wasn't alone when she died. To save his younger sister from the malevolent presence that still clings to the manor, Bastien must finish the final portrait. But what happens when the face that emerges from the paint isn't the gentle girl he's come to love, but the monster who put her there?

Wake Me Up When We're Rich

By @john1208

Nineteen-year-old Delancy Vance has one life goal: to officially retire by age twenty. Told in alternating perspectives between Delancy and her reborn sister, Pru, the comedy begins with a spectacular public humiliation at the 1981 Velvet Cove Spring Festival. Pru loudly exposes Delancy's laziness, declaring she will marry the town's wealthiest heir and leave her slacker sister in the dust. Unfazed, Delancy shamelessly yawns and immediately marries Vaughn, a broke mechanic who happens to own an incredibly comfortable velvet hammock. Delancy's plan is simple: avoid all labor, eat snacks, and nap. Ironically, Vaughn finds her utter refusal to work adorable and grinds tirelessly to fund her lethargic lifestyle. Whenever Delancy whines about minor inconveniences - wishing for a cordless fan or a smaller music box - Vaughn tinkers away, accidentally inventing the decade's biggest electronic hits. While Pru exhausts herself climbing the social ladder, Delancy becomes a pampered millionaire without lifting a finger. But her peaceful early retirement hits a snag when she realizes her beloved, doting guardian, Aunt Hestia, isn't serving her 'sleepy tea' out of love, but to secretly poison her and steal the Vance family land. Can Delancy thwart a criminal mastermind without getting out of bed?

My Last Will Is A Parrot

By @john1208

I, Tymon Nowak, am an exceptionally unremarkable man with one extraordinary talent: I can teach any bird any phrase. This skill lands me a bizarrely high-paying job with Zofia Orlecka, the notoriously glacial CEO of Chimera Innovations. Her final wish, delivered with the warmth of a server rack, is for me to train her giant, surly macaw, Byt, to perfectly mimic her voice and deliver her last will and testament. It's a race against her supposed terminal diagnosis. The problem is, Zofia isn’t just my grumpy, intimidating boss; she’s my sunshine. I find myself trying to coax smiles from a woman who communicates in quarterly reports, all while her bird learns to fire people with terrifying accuracy. But as I get closer to Zofia and her surprisingly soft inner circle, I start to suspect her 'fatal illness' might be the biggest misunderstanding in corporate history. Can a shy bird-trainer convince a billionaire she isn’t dying before her parrot accidentally launches a hostile takeover?

By @john1208

I’m Ren Ishikawa, the guy they call ‘The Unbreakable Idol’ of Neo-Kyoto’s action scene. My fists are fast, my temper is faster, and my secret is bigger than any blockbuster: I’m gay. When a scandal threatens to expose me and ruin everything, my agency proposes a solution: a fake, two-year marriage to the industry’s rising star, the coolly ambitious Meiko Sato.

What happens when the contract I thought was my shield turns out to be a cage, and the woman I’m supposed to be deceiving is the only one who sees the real me?
