Threads of Gilded Deceit
By @Nurse Student Dave
In the cutthroat high society of the Neo-Victorian Empire, Lady Evelyn Vance is a master of survival. Bankrupt and desperate to shield her sickly younger sister from debtor's prison, she uses her secret, forbidden ability: 'Soul-Weaving,' the power to read and subtly manipulate the emotional threads of those she touches. To secure her family's future, she targets the untouchable, cold-hearted Duke Alistair Sterling, intending to weave a faux-romance that will force his hand in marriage. But Alistair is a man guarded by steel and dark secrets of his own. When Evelyn's touch reveals not coldness, but a terrifying, burning obsession that mirrors her own desperate lies, the game of seduction becomes a lethal dance. As political conspiracies threaten to tear the empire apart, Evelyn must navigate a treacherous web of her own making, where every stolen kiss pulls her closer to a truth that could destroy them both.

Contractually Your
By @Alys
Pagod na si Alana Reyes sa walang katapusang blind dates at 'arranged marriage' proposals ng kanyang pamilya. Gusto lang niya ng freedom, ng tunay na pag-ibig sa kanyang sariling termino. Pero paano kung ang tanging paraan para makatakas ay ang pumasok sa isa pang kasunduan? That's where Liam Mendoza comes in - a charming, equally exasperated heir from a rival clan. They strike a deal: a fake marriage, complete with public displays of affection at family gatherings, para lang tigilan sila. Sa labas, sila ang picture-perfect couple, naglalambingan, nagtatawanan. Pero sa loob ng shared mansion, magkahiwalay ang kwarto, at strikto ang patakaran: No feelings. Period. Habang unti-unting nakikilala ang isa't isa sa bawat sulyap, bawat pilosopong usapan, at bawat 'fake' na yakap, mahuhulog ba sila sa isa't isa? Or will their meticulously crafted contract be the very thing that keeps their hearts apart, even when destiny tries to pull them closer? The line between make-believe and forever is about to blur, and Lana must decide if freedom is worth more than a love she never expected to find within a lie.
