After turning 20 years old something weird started happening to lee tae-ho at 12 AM everyday

Three centuries ago, Lucien Vale made a mistake that cost him his soul. Once a charming, reckless vampire noble, Lucien broke the heart of a powerful woman who cursed him with an insatiable hunger — a punishment that left him condemned to wander the earth, feeding without satisfaction, desire burning through his veins like wildfire. His betrayal brought exile, shame, and centuries of emptiness. His only companion? His also-cursed best friend — the only one who stood by him when the vampire kingdoms cast him out. Together, they’ve survived in the shadows of the human world, hiding their identities, burying their power, and pretending to be something less than what they truly are. Lucien had made peace with his misery. That is… until Aria walked into his life. She is everything he shouldn't want. Everything he can't resist. A struggling bartender with dreams buried under reality, Aria never imagined one night, one alley, and one dangerously beautiful man would change her life forever. When Lucien saves her from an unseen threat—and then pins her to a wall with a kiss that shatters her—she's thrown into a world she never knew existed. A world of blood, power, desire... and monsters. But Lucien isn't like the others. He’s a predator, yes. But also a man tormented by his past, desperate for redemption, and inexplicably drawn to her blood, her voice, her light. Their connection is more than lust. It’s ancient. Fated. She ignites something inside him he thought long dead—a love fierce enough to break the curse. Yet love is never easy in the vampire world. Old enemies rise. Secrets unravel. And the curse? It's not done with him yet. As Aria falls deeper into Lucien’s dark, addictive embrace, she must decide if she’s strong enough to love a monster—and if that love is powerful enough to rewrite fate itself. > Sinful. Addictive. Devastatingly romantic. At His Mercy is a dark, erotic vampire romance about second chances, ancient curses, blood-bound passion, and the kind of love that consumes you… and saves you. He was cursed to hunger forever. Until he hungered for her.

“What if you woke up in your 17-year-old body... but with memories from a future you never wanted?” In a world where time flows only forward, he was the exception. A tired, broken man from a crumbling future suddenly awakens in his teenage body — 17 years old again, standing at the crossroads of every regret he ever made. But this isn't a second chance for love or fame — it's a mission to fix what shattered the world... and himself. But the past is stubborn. And the boy he once was? Arrogant, impulsive, and dangerously naïve. Now, with two minds clashing in one body — the reckless dreamer and the cynical survivor — he must navigate a world teetering on the edge of chaos. Enemies he hasn’t met yet already hate him. Friends he lost long ago still smile beside him. And the countdown to disaster has already begun. > Two versions of the same soul. One final chance to rewrite fate.

In the Federal Empire, any woman who had reached twenty years of age must get married, or be randomly assigned a husband by the System. Thus, on her wedding day, the eve of her 20th birthday, Valerie Sullivan waited anxiously for her betrothed, Isaac Holt, to show up—only to find out that he was not coming after all! Trapped in this desperate situation, she grabbed the first handsome stranger she bumped into and got him to be her stand-in groom. It did not hurt that this mysterious Jonny was just her type—young and innocent-looking, with furry ears and a large fluffy tail. So, what if he seemed a little lost and confused? The wedding went on as planned, and Valerie was saved from public humiliation but only for the moment. After all, her marriage to Isaac was supposed to solidify the business partnership between the Sullivans and the Holts. In addition, her sister, Madeline, did not seem too happy that things turned out well for Valerie. Worst of all, Valerie found out that Jonny was an important, influential figure—Jonathan Gunn—the first commander of the Empire and uncle to the current monarch! Who had Valerie actually married—the sensitive, adorable Jonny, or the formidable, impassive Jonathan? Would this last-second pairing end in true love or divorce?

"You got it wrong. What you needed wasn’t money. They do it to you. Yeah, that was basically it. What you really needed was... support. Care. Love. You need to grow up. And understand that money means everything — and nothing. Because the things you chase? They can vanish in the blink of an eye. You should know that by now." ---- Nova was only fourteen when the world first called her special. A song, a screen, and a million views later — she was the girl with the voice, the face, the future. But nobody warned her about the price of becoming someone. As fame wrapped its glittering hands around her life, Nova let go of the people who mattered most — her family, her friends… and Caleb, the only one who ever saw the real her. With each red carpet and fake smile, her soul faded, and the dream she once chased turned into a prison she built with her own hands. By twenty-two, she had it all. By twenty-three, she lost everything. Now at twenty-six, Nova is done pretending. This is not a story about a pop star. It’s a story about growing up too fast, losing yourself too easily, and finding your way back — when no one’s watching. A raw, emotional, and unfiltered tale of identity, healing, and the slow, painful beauty of rediscovery. ---

It was morning. I saw nothing — only a man who looked nothing like a human. I woke up quite early, at least my alarm never went off. I leaned closer to see if he was real. But the truth is he was fake! I am a bitch! A blind one. I agree. Though, I was never physically blind, but my emotions were above blind. What would I have done? That is what makes me unique from other people. A blind bitch! At thirty six, I had a lot to fear and at the same time, I had weaknesses. I might die, who knows? But I was obsessed by a man who looked real but was fake.
