By @Admin
Everyone thought Scarlett was just a pitiful orphan, married into the powerful Ethan family as a 'good-luck bride' and treated like a paper-signing maid. They were wrong.

Playing House
By @john1208
Five years of radio silence shatter when guarded visual artist Maya Okafor, whose murals can transform any space into an emotional landscape that feels like walking into a memory, finds herself entangled in a fake marriage with her former best friend. Her visa hangs by a thread, and his family's beloved Nigerian-Caribbean fusion restaurant in Little Jamaica faces closure. The rules are clear: one year, separate rooms, and absolutely no feelings allowed. But living above his bustling restaurant in contemporary Toronto, sharing a kitchen, a couch, and a past they never truly buried, proves to be the ultimate test. Maya, who craves stability but is terrified of needing anyone, must navigate the glossy downtown art scene and the intimate confines of their shared apartment, battling her sarcastic deflections and the resurgence of emotions she swore she’d locked away forever. Pretending becomes the hardest part, threatening to expose not just a fake marriage, but a very real, very dangerous second chance.

Vengeance and the Penniless Puppet
By @john1208
Kirit Shen's ordinary morning immediately goes wrong when a burnt espresso and a pounding hangover remind her of last night's mistake: a drunken sign-up on a sketchy underground dating app. Needing a disposable husband to bypass a hostile syndicate blockade and exact cold, calculated revenge on the elites who ruined her, Kirit attends the blind date. She meets Jago Fenn, a disheveled man nursing a free glass of tap water. Her pride demanding control, she pays the bill, assuming he is entirely broke. Thus begins a bizarre partnership. Jago eagerly plays the doting husband, moving Kirit into a sprawling cliffside mansion he casually dismisses as an 'unbooked Airbnb.' Told through alternating third-person perspectives, the story is utterly devoid of romance; it is a cutthroat chess match. Kirit ruthlessly plots her enemies' downfall, while Jago - secretly a bored billionaire - hilariously scrambles to hide his vast wealth while anonymously bankrolling her vendetta. But when Jago’s 'buddy' calls on speakerphone to confirm the delivery of a sports car and addresses him as 'Boss,' the facade shatters. Kirit realizes she misunderstood the rules all along: the app wasn't a matchmaking service, but a shadow-economy assassination roulette. Who is the real target?

The Garment Bag Bride
By @john1208
I never planned on waking up zipped inside a breathable, temperature-controlled garment bag at thirty thousand feet. I also didn't plan on Tycho Renz - the tyrannical, sleep-deprived CEO of the city's most vicious fashion house - unzipping me and demanding I sign a marriage contract to repel his horde of litigious, gold-digging ex-fiancées. As a lowly pattern drafter, I should have run. As a quietly ruthless opportunist, I signed. The rules were simple: act like his adoring wife, secretly redesign his failing winter line to save the company, and never mistake his desperate need to sleep next to me for affection. Tycho is a chronic insomniac who only drops off when I'm in his bed. But the joke is on him. I recently uncovered encrypted sketches left by my own erased memory, proving I deliberately shipped myself to him in that bag to corner him into this marriage. My scheme was flawless - until my abusive, parasitic relatives finally tracked me down, and my cold, calculating boss decided to breach our contract by going absolutely feral to protect me. Just how unhinged is my fake husband willing to get?

Sweatpants and Secret Billionaires
By @john1208
I just wanted to nap. But after striking a desperate deal with my nagging mother - one blind date in exchange for six months of absolute peace - I dragged myself to the meeting spot in my favorite stained sweatpants, fully expecting the guy to run for the hills. Instead, Corso, a remarkably handsome but supposedly broke freelance techie, didn't even blink. I proposed a strictly fake, tax-benefit marriage of convenience to solve both our family problems. I thought I was a genius who had hacked the system. I was wrong. I completely misunderstood the rules: the marriage was legally binding, and my 'broke' husband was playing for keeps. Now, I'm exhausted. I'm secretly Korsaka City's top retrieval operative, forced to fight off rival syndicates while pretending to be a normal civilian housewife. Meanwhile, Corso keeps spoiling me, treating me to stays in a hyper-luxurious mega-mansion that he swears is just an 'Airbnb he got a promo code for.' I almost believed his poor-guy act, until his ultra-rich, terrifyingly snobby mother kicked down the door of our crappy cover apartment, screaming about her billionaire heir living in a dumpster. Just who exactly did I marry?

Wrecking the Boss
By @john1208
Tazia Varon is a woman of logic. So when she accidentally crushes the custom hypercar of Mateo Zantino - the city’s most unhinged mafia boss and her long-time neighborhood rival - she calmly stands in the smoking wreckage and strikes a deal: a temporary marriage to settle the multi-million dollar debt and protect her younger brother. Tazia treats the heavily fortified Zantino compound like a poorly managed hotel, routinely hacking the fifty-million-dollar security grid and slipping past fifty armed guards just to sneak out for pistachio gelato. Instead of punishing her, Mateo is utterly captivated. The ruthless kingpin finds his wife's deadpan disrespect intoxicating, happily burning down rival gang safehouses just to ensure she can eat her ice cream in peace. But there is a hidden clause in their contract neither discussed: Mateo’s treacherous right-hand man is orchestrating a coup set to trigger in exactly thirty days. If Tazia doesn't willingly claim her place as the true Donna before the unmentioned time limit expires, the entire syndicate will turn on them. Can a hyper-calculating civilian and an overly devoted mobster survive a hostile takeover?

The Smuggler's Ledger
By @john1208
The vertical canyon-city of Ostrom is unforgiving. If you lack ration stamps, you starve; if you lack a two-parent household, the state seizes your orphaned kin. Zorina Vesh is a cold, calculating rail-runner, surviving by dodging the Vulkari Guard across the city's treacherous funicular lines. Her concrete goals? Keep her nephew Miren out of the state foundries and find the man who framed her brother for treason. But during a high-speed rooftop chase, Zorina crashes into the office of Kovan Tarsil - the meticulous, unromantic state accountant whose audits have been ruining her smuggling routes. Facing execution or the labor camps, they strike a desperate bargain: a fake marriage. He avoids the bachelor's military draft; she secures Miren's freedom. Told in alternating third-person perspectives, their shared apartment becomes a quiet sanctuary where they silently trade the best cuts of scarce food over stacks of ledgers. But when Kovan risks his pristine career to buy Zorina a rare brass music box she lingered over, their slow-burning respect ignites. As Kovan's audit into missing rations and Zorina's hunt for her brother's killer suddenly merge into one terrifying conspiracy, can their fragile new family survive the explosive fallout?
