Naive Reverie

The city’s underworld lives in fear of Vesper — a ruthless assassin who strikes only at midnight, leaving behind a single blade engraved with the letter ‘V’ embedded in the victim’s heart. Feared for their strength and precision, Vesper is believed to be a man — a shadow no one dares to cross. For Valerio Moretti, Vesper’s name is more than just a whispered legend. Years ago, the elusive killer claimed his grandfather’s life, leaving a scar Valerio has never forgotten. Now, as rumors of Vesper’s return spread, Valerio knows one thing — the assassin is closing in. Meanwhile, Leona Vale, a bubbly newcomer with an infectious smile, couldn’t be more out of place in Valerio’s violent world. Soft-hearted, a little clumsy, and hopelessly naive, Leona is the least likely person to survive the chaos of the criminal underworld — yet somehow, she does. Known more for spilling drinks than holding her ground, she’s quickly dismissed as a harmless bystander. But as bodies begin to fall and threats draw closer, Valerio faces a race against time to unmask the assassin stalking his empire — before Vesper strikes again. In a world ruled by shadows and blood, some threats hide in plain sight — and the deadliest ones leave no trace at all.

"I died a fool, but I won’t live as one." Betrayed by the people she trusted the most, Isabella De Luca—heiress to the De Luca Mafia Family—was framed for treason and executed. But fate wasn’t done with her. Waking up three years earlier, she returns as the perfect predator. This time, she won’t be the naive princess who fell into their trap. No—she will be the one setting the stage. With cold vengeance in her veins and a mind sharper than ever, Isabella plays a dangerous game. She lets her enemies believe she is still their pawn, all while preparing for their downfall. But when she crosses paths with Rafael Moretti—the untouchable Mafia King who once looked at her like she was a mere nuisance—things change. In her past life, they were from rival families, yet there was always a dangerous tension between them. This time, she needs him as an ally. But Rafael is a man who plays by his own rules. As the lines between power, passion, and obsession blur, Isabella must decide—will she risk her heart again, or will vengeance consume her completely?

Evelyn Rosendale, the beloved Empress, devoted her heart and soul to the empire and to the man she loved—Emperor Kaelion Ashford. But her reward? Betrayal. Framed for treason, stripped of her title, and sentenced to death, she could only watch as the woman who orchestrated her downfall stood by Kaelion’s side. With her final breath, she swore if given a second chance, she would never be the fool who loved him. Fate grants her wish. Reborn years before her downfall, Evelyn is no longer the naive empress who trusted blindly. This time, she will rewrite her destiny. No longer will she beg for love she will make them all pay. But as she begins to change the course of history, Kaelion starts to see her in a different light. The cold, indifferent woman she becomes is unlike the wife he once knew. And when he finally realizes what he lost, it might already be too late. Will she escape the emperor’s grasp and take her revenge, or will she once again fall into his web of deception?

The new book, "The Arrogant and Cute Princess: Your Highness is so Cunning" has been published -- back then, she was innocent and naive, doing everything she could, hoping that he would notice her. Later on, in her anger and embarrassment, she snapped: "Chen Yiran, take your hands off me. Do you think I’m still that ignorant young girl?" With a devilish smile, he leaned in to seal her lips with his and whispered: "Hmm... you've long since become an innocent woman."

Kisha Aldens is a normal office worker with average earnings, not until she suddenly sees a system countdown in front of her. Her mind suddenly received a prompt warning about the apocalypse and urged her to integrate with the system to assist her with her survival. "Have I overworked myself again?" She thought while pinching the bridge of her nose. She blinked a few more times but the system interface is still there. Little did she know that this system would be her last lifeline in the upcoming apocalypse where human morals would be the lowest, trust is only a word and betrayal could happen in the blink of an eye. A naive person like her had to learn her lesson the hard way on how to survive and navigate in the zombie-infested world. And the worst part, she had to die 99 times to harden her heart and learn how to read the human heart. How will her 100th time be different from the previous lives, will she survive this time? And will survival be her only problem in the heart of the Apocalypse? No, there was a deeper scheme in play which she has to uncover moving forward.

Once known as the naive and kind-hearted Ava Montague, she was betrayed, framed, and left to die by the very people she trusted most—her fiancé, best friend, and stepmother. But death did not claim her. Instead, a mysterious organization saved her and gave her a new identity: "The Vixen." With a new face, a new name, and a burning desire for revenge, she returns as Celeste Vauxhall, a woman who plays by no rules but her own. She is no longer the weak, innocent girl she once was—she is now a master manipulator, using charm, intelligence, and deception to dismantle those who wronged her. But revenge is a double-edged sword. As she gets closer to her targets, she finds herself entangled in a dangerous game of power, love, and deception. And when a mysterious billionaire with secrets of his own enters her life, the lines between vengeance and passion blur. Will she succeed in her mission, or will she lose herself in the very darkness she sought to control?

Title: The General’s Forbidden Obsession Overview: In the heart of a war-torn Japan, where power is held by ruthless generals and noble bloodlines teeter on the edge of ruin, one sheltered aristocratic son makes a single, devastating mistake—he steps beyond the walls of his family’s protection. Naïve, docile, and unaware of the world’s dangers, he longs for a taste of freedom, a single night beneath the city’s lantern-lit sky. But beauty like his is a curse, drawing hungry eyes and grasping hands. When a brothel lures him in with promises of wonder, he stumbles into the clutches of men who see him as nothing more than a delicate prize to be claimed. Watching from the shadows is the nation’s most feared general—cold, ruthless, and entirely captivated. At first, he only observes, drawn in by the boy’s ethereal beauty and oblivious innocence. But when another man dares to touch what he has silently claimed, his restraint shatters. With a single command, the general takes him. Not out of mercy, but out of possessive desire. He tells himself it’s only for a night, that he’ll let the boy go. But obsession, once ignited, is a fire that does not burn out. As the aristocratic son’s family desperately searches for him, the general refuses to release his new obsession. And the boy, so naive to the world’s cruelty, doesn’t yet understand—he has just been caged by the most dangerous man in the empire. Will love bloom from possession, or will he remain nothing more than a treasured captive?

Betrayed. Starved. Left to die alone in a world that chewed up the weak and spat them out. Gu Qingran trusted the wrong people, loved the wrong man, and paid the ultimate price. But fate? Fate gave her a second chance. Reborn 30 days before the apocalypse, she refuses to be the naive fool she once was. This time, there are no attachments, no kindness—only power.

While the world slept, she stockpiled. While they wasted time..she built an empire. When the world burned, she rose from the ashes—untouchable, unstoppable and unchallenged. Let the apocalypse come. Let them beg for mercy. Because in this life, Gu Qingran is no one’s prey. She is the storm. Character Art done by Punzygracy> [40 chapters updates 1st April]
