What if there was a world where cultivating power was as normal as breathing? Where children learned sword forms before they could even read — and schools taught lethal arts like they were just another subject. Sounds normal, right? Well… only if those schools were anything close to normal. Kaizen Moriya was born into this world with nothing but a dirt spoon and a family too poor to afford mistakes. And then, that opened its doors for him. A Gate full of opportunities for him. Now, Kaizen wields something that the world has no name for. A destiny that even the heavens fear to watch. He will be crowned in obsidian and shall be revered by everyone as....

I possessed a minor character who marries the prince. I’m not thrilled about it. The prince is a s*umbag who flirts with the heroine despite being engaged and eventually gets defeated by the original male lead. In the epilogue, all he does is apologize to his fiancée and marry her, with barely a line to his name. Well, his personality is twisted, but at least he’s handsome. And since he’s the third prince, he doesn’t have to shoulder the burden of ruling the kingdom. That’s decent husband material, I suppose. Go ahead, make a fool of yourself. You’re going to marry me anyway. I’ll just sit back and enjoy watching your embarrassing history unfold. “Dory Redfield. Don’t expect me to ask you to dance at this ball. Maybe not at the next one either. Or the one after that.” “Yes, Your Highness. As you wish.” “Even though we’re engaged… wait, what?” “It’s just a joke proposal our parents once tossed around, isn’t it? You don’t need to take it seriously, Your Highness. I’m really fine with it.” “…Is that so? Yes, that’s… fine, right?” Why are you panicking, prince? You started spouting nonsense first. Where’s your conscience? But then, this guy really has the audacity to ask something outrageous. “…Do you, perhaps, have another man?” The guy who flirted with the original heroine is saying this now? Calm down. He’ll regret this later. All I need to do is remain a devoted fiancée until then. “What are you talking about? A woman like me… plain, not beautiful, with a gloomy personality, what man would even—” “What? Who dared to say that about you?” …You did, in the original story. This guy is acting weird. But he’s not the only problem. “My dear little sister Dory, that dress you’re wearing today is dreadful. No wonder there are rumors His Highness has abandoned you.” “Well, it can’t be helped. His Highness is too good for me anyway.” “…Hold on. Too good? Who said that? Wait, were you really dumped?” The original villainess, who also happens to be my older sister, Natalia, is suddenly interested in my love life. Why are all the original tr*shy characters growling at each other over me now?!

Crave silence, attention, love, revenge? She’ll give you what you ask for… but the cost is always what you never considered. Each episode in Tales of Midnight is a self-contained descent into the eerie, the ironic, and the unseen—where karmic laws override natural ones, and even wishes cast shadows. Featuring twisted fables of lost identities, time devoured, shadows betrayed, and memories rewritten, this series will haunt readers long after the last chime rings.

Time betrayed her. Faerie bound her. Only a crown of lies can set her free.

He’s cold. He’s cruel. And now… he’s her husband. When Lily's mother falls gravely ill, she makes the ultimate sacrifice: marrying a man she’s never met. Arthur Stark — the ruthless billionaire with a heart carved from ice and a past drenched in blood. He's feared in boardrooms and whispered about in the shadows of the mafia underworld.

Her mind races with thoughts she never meant to think. He says he doesn’t want her. But monsters lie.

A text from an unknown number. “Marry me. Seven days. 500 million won.” Yoon Se-ra should’ve deleted it. Instead, she answered — and within hours, she was sitting across from Han Jae-yul, Korea’s most untouchable billionaire. His terms were clear: No intimacy. No questions. Seven days of marriage. Then walk away rich… or not at all. Two women took the same offer before her. Both are dead. No one knows why. Now, inside his private villa where the halls are too quiet and the shadows feel too alive, Se-ra begins to wonder: Is this just a contract marriage? Or has she walked straight into something far worse?

There are places not meant for humans. Places that live in whispers, flicker in dreams, and open only when the world sleeps. They say Velmoire appears after midnight, cloaked in mist, beyond the edge of time itself. A city ruled by moonlight and blood, where mortals are forbidden, and vampires dance in silence. At the heart of this secret realm stands a palace carved from obsidian and shadows — Velmoire Palace. It is not a palace of kings or queens. It is a palace of rules. Of desire. Of secrets too old to be spoken aloud. And at its throne stands a man with eyes like winter, and a heart long buried beneath centuries — Kael Virell, the richest and most feared vampire in Velmoire. The man who has never once smiled for a human. The man who once swore he’d never feel again. Until she stepped into his world. Not with grace. Not with magic. But with chaos. And sarcasm. And a curse in her blood she didn’t even know she carried. Her name was Lyria Moen — and she was never meant to be there. She was not a queen. Not a warrior. Just… a girl with tired shoes and a spine that refused to bend. And yet, the moment she crossed through that elevator, the Palace Beyond Midnight changed. The mirrors whispered. The walls pulsed. The air thickened. Because sometimes, the most dangerous love stories don’t begin with fate. They begin with mistakes. And in Velmoire, Mistakes are not forgiven.

She vowed her life to God. But fate demanded she marry a stranger... under her dead sister's name. When Eva Caldwell, a quiet nun, is forced to take her twin sister's place at the altar after Ellen dies suddenly in her sleep, she steps into a world she’s never known—one of luxury, lies, and cold ambition. Her husband, Jeremi Moretti, a ruthless billionaire with political goals, believes he's married the wild and fiery Ellen... not her gentle, soft-spoken twin. Now Eva must navigate high society, hide her true identity, and battle feelings she should never have—for a man she can’t help but love. But Jeremi is no fool. The woman in his bed isn’t the one he remembers. And as secrets from Ellen’s past begin to surface, one mistake could shatter everything. How long can love survive when it’s built on a lie?

"Do you wish to know what will happen if I drink from your thighs?" Salviana drew in a sharp breath before she whispered, "I might die?"

They all believed she was dead—including herself. Until she opened her eyes in a body that looked exactly like hers, in another era of life. A body that had endured the same betrayal. The same face. The same name. The same pain. In her quest to seek justice for the girl whose body she occupied, she encountered Golden City's most powerful tycoon—Lucien Draven Vale—revered as a business god. Without ever meeting, they signed a marriage contract through his assistant. He needed a wife. She needed power. A one-year marriage with no obligations—husband or wife—they were to live as strangers under the same roof. Her goal was clear: get justice, then disappear. He only needed a wife in name; more so fulfilling family nagging But somewhere along the line, she was forced to choose between the man who would turn the world upside down for her… and her desire to leave and protect herself. Was this fate’s second chance… or a trap with a prettier disguise? This isn’t your typical damsel-in-distress, waiting for her knight in shining armor. She is fire herself—a woman who never needed saving, only needed her husband power, to do whatever she wants. This is my WSA 2025 entry.

In a world divided by elemental bloodlines, magic is inherited, feared — and weaponized. Eira Virell, an exiled fireborn from the ruined Southern clans, carries a curse in her blood and a dangerous Mark across her skin — proof of a lineage blamed for a kingdom’s greatest tragedy. Hunted since childhood, she’s learned to survive in silence, suppressing her powers and shielding the secret that could doom her entire race. Prince Kael Vorenth, heir to the frost-ridden Northern Throne, is a Warden — elite hunter of rogue mages and enforcer of the crown’s brutal laws. Bound by duty, grief, and a sworn hatred for fireborns, Kael lives only for justice. But when an assassination attempt threatens his reign, he crosses paths with a mysterious woman whose presence melts through his discipline like flame through snow. What begins as a confrontation ignites into obsession. Drawn together by fate, prophecy, and a forbidden soulbond they do not understand, Eira and Kael find themselves entangled in a slow-burning, dangerous romance — one that could bring peace between their people… or trigger a war to end all realms. As kingdoms fall and ancient powers awaken, secrets unravel: Eira’s bloodline holds the key to an imprisoned god, and Kael’s soul is tied to her survival. Their love becomes a weapon — one that must either be tempered or unleashed. But love forged in fire is not easily controlled. And some flames were born to consume the world.
