There's nothing more important than love, Mila always told herself. Even when her boyfriend cheated on her and accused her of stealing, leading to her being fired, Mila still held onto her belief. For a 24-year-old young woman to survive in a big city where she knew nobody but her cheating boyfriend, Mila had to look for work elsewhere not just anywhere, but The Montclair Club. For one night, she served as a salesperson for the launch of a new wine. As the saying goes, (In vino veritas) Truth in wine. Mila's truth was letting her hair down and having fun just for one night. The innocent woman had her own taste of a 'one wild night.' The result? A positive pregnancy test. Mila became pregnant by the hot-tempered, international playboy and heir of the Montclair Conglomerate, from a family of old money. Zyran Ciro Montclair is known to have a special hatred for the words family and poor. He only believes that the poor are leeches and liars. At the moment, the luxury of pride wasn't something Mila could afford. Jobless, pregnant, and left alone in the big city, Mila decided to go after her baby's daddy. Even if he might reject her, she had to try. And somehow, in her pursuit, she ended up on the early morning news: 'Noblesse Oblige: Montclair Heir to Marry an Unknown Poor Country Girl. It's giving Rich Prince and The Pauper. A 21st-century Fairytale.' What could possibly go wrong? you may ask. Stepping into the rarefied and unhinged world of the Montclairs, Mila realized that their realm wasn't the same as her world of black and white. Her perception of life was turned upside down, and she couldn't help but wonder. What could be so poisonous yet so good as power and money? Will Mila's love endure when faced with Zyran's 12 rules for their marriage, including the humiliating demand of: Rule No 6: “Submission is key: When I say kneel, you'll drop to all fours. Don't question it, just obey.” Will she allow herself to be consumed by the corruption that comes with wealth, or will she spread her innocence and show Zyran a world where people don't have to be used? Can their love survive the poisonous influences of power and money? . . . . . . Instagram account: Pluma_W143 Facebook page: Plumadidi Tiktok: @Plumadidi Cover belongs to me. Art by Kelveendraws

Nire always dreamed of Seoul—its bright lights, its music, its fashion. Growing up in a wealthy Bengali family, he saw it as the ultimate escape, the place where he could be free. But when he arrives on a scholarship, the city is nothing like he imagined. It’s a place where he feels invisible, his brown skin and foreign roots a constant reminder that he’s not quite what the world expects. Working at Yours and Mine Café, a trendy spot filled with the city’s elite, Nire wears a mask—not just to follow the café’s dress code, but because hiding who he is feels like the only way to survive.

In a world where perfection is currency and beauty is skin deep, can two people from different worlds ever find a place where they both belong? Or will their love be just another fleeting fantasy, lost to the shadows of Seoul’s unspoken rules?

The world was at the brink of extinction. Only the awakened could escape to the other world. But... ... I wasn't one.

Jenny Anderson has always been the forgotten daughter, lost in the shadow of her father's wealth and the cruelty of her stepmother and stepsister. While her father built his business empire, Jenny endured years of neglect and maltreatment, becoming the family's scapegoat for their own failures and frustrations. Her quiet resilience was her only shield, but everything changes when her father's empire faces financial ruin, and the only way out is an unthinkable arrangement: marrying her off to Richard Logard, a billionaire shrouded in darkness and fear. Richard Logard is no ordinary billionaire. Known in the business world as ruthless and unfeeling, rumors swirl that he’s a devil in human form—a man whose fortune is as mysterious as his past. He’s feared by many, respected by few, and loved by none. When Jenny is thrust into his world, she expects nothing but cold indifference or worse. After all, what else could come from marrying the Devil himself? But Jenny soon discovers that Richard is not what he seems. Behind his fierce gaze and imposing presence, she finds a man who is fiercely protective, attentive, and—surprisingly—gentle. He treats her like a priceless treasure, lavishing her with affection and shielding her from the very people who once mistreated her. For the first time, Jenny feels seen, valued, and cared for. However, as she starts to fall for the man everyone calls a demon, her new life of luxury and love makes her stepmother and stepsister seethe with jealousy. Yet, beneath the surface of their seemingly perfect marriage lies a web of secrets. Richard’s dark past and the real reason behind their arranged marriage begin to unravel, revealing a connection between their families that runs deeper—and darker—than Jenny ever imagined. When Jenny discovers Richard’s affair, she’s torn between the man she’s grown to love and the dangerous truths that threaten to tear them apart. As Richard’s enemies close in and his true nature begins to surface, Jenny must navigate a treacherous path filled with deceit, betrayal, and revelations that will change her world forever. Can she trust the man who has captured her heart, or is she merely a pawn in his deadly game? Jenny finds herself at a crossroads. She must decide: fight for the love she’s found or flee from a man who might be far more dangerous than the devil everyone believes him to be.
