Self Love Books

When Lia transfers to Crescent High, all she wants is to finish her final year peacefully. She keeps her head down, avoids drama, and doodles her feelings in a sketchpad no one ever sees. But things change the moment she’s assigned to work on the school’s cultural festival with none other than Kai Yoon — the most admired (and intimidating) boy on campus. He barely talks, never smiles, and somehow always catches her staring. To Lia’s surprise, Kai isn’t as cold as he seems. He notices when she's sad. He protects her from a rumor. He even finds her sketchpad one day… and doesn’t laugh. As they spend more time together, whispers begin: “Why is Kai always with the new girl?” “Is he… smiling?” Meanwhile, Jace, Kai’s best friend, begins to act strangely. Rina, with her big heart and bigger mouth, pushes Lia toward love—but love comes with risks.

Itsuki finds out his own dead body but not his job application!

I was born with a silver coffin. A legacy forged not in gold, but in contracts, lawsuits, and corporate blood. My name is Lu Siyan, heir to the empire of the demon-king known as Father. An empire built on broken backs, smiling fangs, and boardroom executions. And today—today is the day it all begins to fall. Not with victory. Not with power. But with something far more terrifying. Failure. Glorious, theatrical, headline-worthy failure. The kind that unravels dynasties, bankrupts legacies, and makes shareholders weep into golden tissues. My vengeance is not a sword—it’s a balance sheet hemorrhaging red ink. They thought I was weak. A drama-addled heir, born to inherit, not dismantle. They were wrong. I will lose with such magnificence, even the economy will collapse in awe. And when my father sees the empire he built rot from the inside, devoured by the chaos he raised? He’ll understand. This is not rebellion. This is performance art in flames. Call it insanity. Call it legacy. I call it Act One.

A girl spending her time in the pages of her lost beloved books.

It’s already here—and it’s wearing his face. Dark powers. Twisted timelines. One universe must fall. This is the echo of the rift. And this is the rise of the second self. ---

When university student Theo Ramirez has a chance run-in with Officer Mara Delaney, a solitary and sharp-witted policewoman with a past she keeps tightly guarded, neither expects the encounter to spark an unlikely, age-gap friendship that reshapes both their lives. Set against the backdrop of a tense campus protest, institutional scrutiny, and public misinterpretation, Parallel Lines explores the fragile space between trust and assumption, intimacy and visibility. As Theo navigates accusations, alienation, and the weight of being “too close” to someone like Mara, the two form a bond that defies categorization—one forged not by romance, but by mutual recognition in a world that prefers simpler narratives. When whispers swell into hearings and headlines, both must decide how much they’re willing to risk to remain part of each other’s lives. Spanning years, careers, and quiet acts of devotion, Parallel Lines is a story about the quiet heroism of platonic love, the resilience of chosen connection, and what it means to stand beside someone—especially when the world tells you not to.
