Castling Strategic Lover

"I don’t remember who I was before stepping onto that pirate ship... And maybe I never want to remember." Raised among torn sails and the salty scent of the sea, I found in a pirate crew the only family I ever knew. Years passed, and my hardened heart believed that adventures and battles were all I needed... until he appeared. A mysterious nobleman, with eyes that seemed to hold all the secrets I had forgotten. His scent was different — it didn’t smell of rum and sweat, but of memories I insisted on burying. “Where have you been all this time?” he asked, as if he knew me better than I knew myself. Torn between the instinctive call of my omega body and the need to keep my secrets buried, I have to decide: face a past I’ve always run from... or keep sailing without looking back.

Qin Guan, an elite attorney basking in professional glory, crafts the perfect facade of a devoted husband and doting father. Yet behind the mahogany doors of his law firm, he succumbs to a dangerous liaison with his young assistant. What begins as a clandestine tryst spirals into catastrophe when a passion-fueled game leaves his lover lifeless, her last breath strangled by the silk scarf he'd once gifted her.  As he erases every trace of the crime, Qin discovers that true disappearance is an illusion. Cryptic blackmail notes materialize in locked briefcases. Surveillance footage from the murder night resurfaces with impossible edits. The ghost of his victim seems to whisper through his daughter's nursery monitor, reciting fragments of laws he himself weaponized in court.  Now trapped in a labyrinth of his own lies, Qin must confront the rotting skeletons he'd buried decades ago—the orphanage fire ruled an accident, the rival attorney's mysterious plunge, the wife who perhaps never believed his charade. Someone is meticulously reconstructing his sins, thread by thread, turning his legal genius against him. But in this game of shadows, the most terrifying question remains: Is the puppeteer orchestrating his downfall a vengeful stranger... or the reflection staring back from his gilded office mirror?

Synopsis – Respawn as Lovers She’s a gaming sensation. He’s just a coder with an attitude. Together, they built a game about love. But neither of them expected to be trapped inside it. Rhea—known to millions as Codie, the bold, quick-witted gamer with a sharp tongue and sharper skills—is creating her dream project: a romance-survival game designed for couples, where love isn’t optional—it’s the only way to win. But Rhea can’t do it alone. Enter Blaze_King—real name Kapish—a sarcastic, unknown game developer who stumbles upon her livestream and casually applies to help. He doesn’t care about romance, or Codie’s fame. He just wants to code… and maybe challenge the one person who talks more trash than he does. They argue. They compete. They annoy each other to death. And somehow, they make the perfect dysfunctional dev team. But one night, while testing a couple mission in the game, a glitch changes everything. Rhea and Kapish wake up not in their chairs, but inside the world they built—trapped in the pixelated universe of their own making. Now, to escape, they’ll have to play by their own rules: complete tasks meant for lovers, raise their emotional bond, and survive challenges where feelings matter more than weapons. But how do two people who can’t stand each other fake love long enough to win? And what happens when the line between pretending and feeling starts to blur? Enemies. Teammates. Maybe something more. Welcome to Respawn as Lovers—where falling in love isn’t just part of the story. It’s the only way out.

Ludwig is a broken man with no way of being fixed, thus, he suffered a contamination that could turn him into a beast if left contained. His only way to fix this is to become an experimental subject and to reveal his fate to the world.

Based on the tale told before us, Medusa was a beautiful maiden who was seduced by Poseidon in a temple of Athena. Such a sacrilege attracted the goddess' wrath, and she punished Medusa by turning her hair to snakes. Then, the Greek hero Perseus beheaded Medusa, and he used her head, which retained its ability to turn onlookers to stone, as a weapon until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield. However, the truth was far more complex. Poseidon had attempted to seduce Medusa and failed; he then forced himself upon her. Her lover at the time, the powerful goddess Athena, saw that Medusa had fallen to the seduction of men, and in her wrath, she cursed Medusa by turning her hair to snakes. Athena then kicked Medusa out, far from her temple and home. Medusa met Perseus, but he did not kill her. Instead, he was given an artifact by Medusa that would help him on his journey, and Medusa chose to disappear from the earth. She lived in seclusion, far from the human world, wrapping her snakes in a turban if she needed to venture into the human realm, and lived alone for centuries. While the other gods and goddesses walked among humans, Medusa's tale was told as a villainess, an evil woman.

However, Medusa's fears started to build - would Aleysia run away if she knew the truth about Medusa? Would she stay, or would she disappear? Everything descended into chaos when Poseidon and Athena found Medusa. One is finally realizing that she was mistaken about Medusa centuries ago, and the other one still want to pursue her, can't forget about Medusa. Will Medusa finally find happiness, or is she doomed by her curse?

"Why are you wearing cow head mask? Lilith asks you this question the third time." Amon groaned, tipping his head up. It made the snout of his mask point at the sky, making Lilith giggle as she found the view funny. "It's weird. Lilith thinks you're ugly that's why you're hiding your face." Hearing this, Amon couldn't help but look at her through his mask. If only he wasn't wearing it, Lilith would see how he arched a brow at her statement as he didn't like what she said. "You said it's rude for people to be ignored. Aren't you being rude for making such a remark?" "Oh!" Lilith gasped, making her cuter as she immediately touched her mouth with both of her hands in an attempt to shut herself up. The little girl spoke again, her voice heard even though she talked softly. "Lilith didn't mean to... Lilith is sorry. But Lilith was honest. Doesn't that make Lilith a good girl?" *** Amon, the Grim Reaper, appeared in the mortal realm to fulfill his job in collecting the souls of the dead.

"They buried me with roses. Red, like the betrayal in their hearts" The sky was grey, the morning they laid me to rest. Not stormy, not gentle, just blank, like the eyes of the people who came to weep. They cried. My mother's veil soaked in fake tears. My father face tight, as though forcing himself to mourn. And Albert, my dear Albert. Stood tall beside my cousin, her hands around his arm. I watched them from the oak tree, unseen. My fingers trembling, body cold, heart burning. The coffin was shut, but I knew what was inside. My face, my hair, . My pale hands folded neatly like I had died with grace. But I haven't. I bleed on cold ground, screamed, I fell. And no one tried to save me . That morning I had woken up in someone else's body. A maid's body. Thin wrists, bruised ankles, calloused palms. The scent of ash and soap clung to me. I looked into the mirror and saw her face , not mine. Her lips, her eyes, her sadness. Her name was Margaret. They didn't notice. Not my mother, not the maids I grew up with, not even Albert. I moved through the halls like a ghost, cleaning floors I used to walk in silk. Serving wine to the very people who buried me. And no one knew. But I know. Someone killed me, and someone let me die. They think the dead can't speak. That once the dirt is thrown and the prayers are said, we're gone. They're wrong. I'm still here, watching, and I'll remember everything.
