The Prime-Time Potion Scandal
By @john1208
Tevari just wanted to grow her rare medicinal flora in peace, but qualifying for the prestigious Sovereign's Cup requires a partner. Enter Rhovand: her arrogant, insufferable brewing rival. Their strategic, strictly professional engagement is going perfectly until Lisseth - Rhovand’s ex-girlfriend who tearfully claims she 'left for his own good' - crashes their televised banquet with a delicate, blood-spotted handkerchief. Lisseth’s strategy is simple: interrupt every public date with a miraculously timed, fatal symptom to steal Rhovand back. What she doesn’t realize is that Tevari and Rhovand are treating her fake illness like a peer-reviewed study. With Rhovand ruthlessly recording Lisseth's contradictory medical claims on a phonograph crystal and a double-agent socialite feeding them her daily schedules, they prepare a flawless trap. But there’s a catch: the tournament's engagement pact has a hidden 14-day expiration timer that threatens to wipe their memories if they don't officially seal the bond. Can Tevari overcome her crippling shyness long enough to embrace a real romance, or will Lisseth's televised teardown run out of time?

He Divorced Me for My Body Double
By @john1208
"Wake up, Oressa. Your vacation is over." I open my eyes inside a glass coffin in the Vymar family crypt, five years after faking my own death. I was a lazy genius who orchestrated the perfect identity swap with my ambitious maid, Lita, just so I could live a boring, effortless life. I even married Torin Gault, happily playing his unremarkable, docile wife while Lita paraded around as the untouchable Vymar heiress. But Torin’s greed ruined my perfect naps. He brought the pregnant "heiress" home, handed me divorce papers, and threw me out in the rain, thinking he had secured the ultimate billionaire wife. He didn't know my ruthless grandfather had just discovered the swap, disowned the fake, and dragged my real body back to the underworld. Now, I have to put on the blood-diamonds and actually exert effort. The real tragedy? Torin realizing he threw away the true diamond for a destitute fraud, while he watches me sip champagne with Kito Renz, the younger superstar idol who has spent five years obsessed with finding me. Will Torin survive when he realizes he married the maid and discarded the master?
