His Imperfect Legacy
By @john1208
Clara Hayes is a woman pushed to the brink. Her son, Leo, battles a rare heart condition, and the mounting medical debt threatens to swallow her whole, dragging her into an abyss of despair. Desperate, she finds herself in the formidable, silent office of Julian Vance, a man whose name echoes with unfathomable power and an icy, reclusive reputation. He's the only one who can provide the experimental treatment Leo desperately needs, but his price isn't financial. Julian, a man haunted by a fractured family legacy, needs a convincing 'family' to secure a vital inheritance - a son and a mother who can embody the warmth and normalcy his world brutally lacks. Clara, with her cheerful resilience masking a deep well of grief from her own past, is the inconveniently perfect candidate. The cool silk of his expensive suit, the predatory gleam in his dark eyes, it all screams danger, a silent warning against entanglement. Yet, the desperate beat of her own heart, thrumming for her son's survival, compels her forward. Failure means losing Leo to his illness, and perhaps her very soul to a man who seems to possess none.

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.

The Slothful Duchess's Secret Harvest
By @john1208
Zofina Vodya, a brilliant but chronically lazy agronomist, wanted nothing more than a quiet life. When she wakes up in the body of a powerless duchess, cast aside by her husband for a barren patch of land on the Empire's blighted frontier, her dream of peaceful retirement seems impossible. Faced with starvation and rebellion, Zofina reluctantly uses her modern knowledge of crop rotation, soil science, and irrigation to turn her desolate fiefdom, the Vodyan Marches, into an unexpected breadbasket. Her stunning success attracts the attention of Kaspian Volkov, the country's wealthiest and most ruthless merchant, who sees in her not a wife, but an asset of unimaginable value. As their reluctant partnership blossoms into a slow-burning romance, Zofina finds herself drawn deeper into the politics of a dying empire. But the engineered famine she fights has a purpose, and its creator isn't a monster, but a desperate man with a terrible choice. Can a woman who only wants to be left alone find the will to save a world she never asked to be a part of?
