Glitch in the Prenup: Firing My Ex on Live Broadcast
By @john1208
I was so exhausted by my husband Jorik's delusions of grandeur that I finally snapped. In a shady underground data-broker's parlor, I struck a deal: I legally swapped my biometric identity as 'Mazra, meek housewife' with a rogue android who wanted to experience suburban ennui. Now I’m back to being myself - the trillionaire heiress of the Qen Syndicate. I also finally have time to resume my favorite hobbies: operating as the underground cyber-doctor who saves politicians, the undefeated corporate lawyer who ruins monopolies, and the anonymous composer writing the pop anthems Jorik listens to while crying at the gym. Unsurprisingly, without my secret background funding keeping it afloat, Jorik’s tech firm is instantly facing bankruptcy. Desperate, he decides to officially divorce his android 'wife' and woo the elusive Heiress Qen for a massive investment. It’s almost too easy. I’m going to buy his company, fire him on live television, and finally get some sleep. But why is Bastos Vex, my infuriatingly handsome corporate rival, suddenly trying to sabotage my perfectly petty revenge tour by proposing a merger?

Smokescreen Vows
By @john1208
Panya's beloved great-aunt uses her dying breath to demand one final, impossible favor: Panya must marry the basement tenant. With the Kravak Republic's new edict deporting all unmarried youth to the brutal Sarnian Steppes for forced labor, a marriage certificate is their only shield. Told through Panya's close third-person perspective, she plays the bubbly, empty-headed newlywed flawlessly, a cheerful facade masking her sharp mind and secret life as a resistance courier. Her new husband, Ignat, plays the exhausted, disgraced scholar. Neither expects the sheer, high-octane chaos of living in Block 44. Their nosy neighbors are heavily armed informants, turning every domestic chore into a battlefield. Through dodging midnight raids, sabotaging local spies, and booby-trapping their own hallway, their fake arrangement shifts into fierce mutual respect and undeniable warmth. Panya realizes she never wants this marriage to end. But when her frantic search for a missing rebel manifesto collides with the forbidden cipher that ruined Ignat's academic career, they discover a terrifying truth: their separate missions are the exact same conspiracy. Will their hard-won love survive the crossfire, or will the state's deadliest secret tear them apart?

The Doctor's Deadly Mercy
By @john1208
Tathari Vim only ever wanted to heal the broken. When her ambitious husband Juroth bursts into her dying mentor's hospital ward to demand a divorce, Tathari signs the papers with a gentle, forgiving smile, genuinely wishing him luck in the upcoming Jidara Crucible tournament. Juroth believes he has shed a useless housewife to court a wealthy brawler. He doesn't know the compassionate doctor is secretly the 'Apex Sovereign,' the legendary martial grandmaster whose sponsorship he desperately needs to survive. Nor does he realize she owns the Aegis Depository, the shadow bank holding his massive tournament loans. At a high-society gala, Tathari begins her quiet revenge by casually solving a quantum-fractal math problem that had stumped global geniuses, instantly shattering Juroth's new alliances. But the Crucible's grand prize is a soul-harvesting trap, and Tathari must enter the fray to save the fighters from their own greed. Complicating matters is Zendai Vora, a brooding warlord and her sworn martial rival. As Zendai falls for the sweet civilian doctor patching up his wounds, what will happen when he realizes his gentle new love and his terrifying arch-nemesis are the exact same woman?
