Samantha never expected to find magic in her hometown, let alone in a dimly lit bar on a rainy Tuesday night. Yet here she was, perched on a barstool at the Black Swan, her world about to tilt on its axis. The air thrummed with an otherworldly energy she couldn't quite place. Ethereal dancers moved like smoke across the floor, their bodies fluid and mesmerizing. As Samantha nursed her drink, she felt the weight of curious stares prickling her skin. That's when she saw him. Marcus. A name she didn't know yet, but one that would soon be etched into her very soul. Their eyes locked across the crowded room, and Samantha's breath caught in her throat. He moved with predatory grace, all lean muscle and barely restrained power. Their first interaction was as intoxicating as it was bewildering. One moment, he was her gallant protector, rescuing her from an overly aggressive drunk. The next, his eyes hardened to chips of ice as he snarled, "Stupid girl," before melting into the shadows. Samantha's mind reeled, but her body hummed with an excitement she couldn't explain. Little did she know, this encounter was merely the first step into a world beyond her wildest fantasies – a realm where vampires ruled the night and pain blurred exquisitely with pleasure. As she delved deeper into this hidden society, Samantha found herself drawn to the intoxicating blend of power, submission, and supernatural allure. The crack of a whip, the whisper of leather, the exquisite sting of fangs – each sensation pushed her boundaries and ignited desires she never knew existed. But with every ecstatic high came the sobering reality of danger. Vampire politics were as deadly as they were intricate, and Samantha soon realized she was a pawn in a game where the stakes were life, death, and eternal servitude. As she left the Black Swan that night, Samantha couldn't shake the feeling that she stood on the precipice of something life-changing. She had no idea how right she was, or how deeply she would fall into a passionate, dangerous dance with forces beyond her imagination. The real question was: in this world where pleasure and peril intertwined so intimately, would she emerge empowered... or lose herself completely?

Jeanne n'avait que 18 ans lorsque sa belle-mère et sa demi-sœur l'ont encadrée et lui ont fait tout perdre. Elle a été jetée hors de la maison par son père pour avoir essayé de résister. 7 ans plus tard, Jeanne est revenue pour se venger avec un fils mystérieux à ses côtés : George. Les gens se moquaient d'elle pour être une mère célibataire et appelaient son fils un enfant sans père. «Qui appelez-vous un enfant sans père? Tu ne m'aimerais pas quand je suis en colère,» George a menacé. «Garde le profil bas, George! Ne gâche pas le plaisir ! Je n'en ai pas assez,» dit Jeanne alors qu'elle voulait profiter de sa vengeance, laissant le garçon sans voix. Jeanne a plus tard rencontré le tristement célèbre Quatrième Maître Swan lors d'un bal de charité. L'homme au beau visage et au tempérament froid l'a appelée dans un coin et lui a dit : «Je t'aime.» Tout le monde était choqué, y compris Jeanne. «Je suis une mère célibataire et j'ai un enfant. Es-tu sûr que tu m'aimes?» Elle a dit. "J'aime en fait ... ton enfant!" Tout le monde a été choqué lorsque le Quatrième Maître Swan a épousé Jeanne, mais seul son rusé savait qu'il avait obtenu non pas un, mais deux acteurs importants dans ce jeu d'échecs qu'il jouait.

Eve Thompson wachte im Bett des begehrtesten Junggesellen von S City auf und hatte seinen Arm um ihre Taille gelegt, aber sie hatte nur die Worte ihrer Mutter im Kopf. "Pass auf, dass niemand herausfindet, dass du dich als deine Schwester verkleidet hast", sagte sie ihr und betrachtete das falsche Muttermal, das mit Make-up auf das Gesicht ihrer verbliebenen Tochter gezeichnet war. "Du musst Mr. Charlie dazu bringen, dich zu heiraten, alles, was wir haben, hängt davon ab!", sagte sie. Es war eine Schande, denn der Mann neben ihm ähnelte sehr dem Mann, den sie vor vielen Jahren verloren hatte. Anthony Charlies Gunst bei den Frauen war bekanntermaßen schwer zu erlangen, aber im Vollrausch kroch er mit der Frau neben ihr unter die Laken, angelockt von der Erinnerung an jemanden, den er vor langer Zeit verloren hatte und dem diese Frau ähnelte. Aber sie hatte kein Muttermal. Das konnte sie nicht sein. War ihre Begegnung zufällig? Was würde ihre verborgene Vergangenheit enthüllen? Begleiten Sie Eve Thompson auf ihrer aufregenden Reise des Werbens und der politischen Spionage, während sie in die Fußstapfen ihrer Zwillingsschwester tritt und versucht, ihre Familie zu retten, indem sie das Herz des mysteriösen Junggesellen Anthony Charlie gewinnt!

Jeanne baru berusia 18 tahun ketika ibu tiri dan saudara tiri perempuannya menjebaknya dan menyebabkan ia kehilangan segalanya. Dia diusir dari rumah oleh ayahnya karena mencoba melawan. 7 tahun kemudian, Jeanne kembali untuk membalaskan dendam dengan seorang anak misterius di sisinya—George. Orang-orang mengejeknya karena menjadi ibu tunggal dan menyebut anaknya anak tanpa ayah. "Siapa yang kau sebut anak tanpa ayah? Kau tidak akan menyukaiku saat aku marah," ancam George. "Tenang saja, George! Jangan merusak kesenangan! Aku belum puas," kata Jeanne karena dia ingin menikmati balas dendamnya, membuat anak laki-laki itu terdiam. Jeanne kemudian bertemu Master Keempat Swan yang terkenal di pesta amal. Pria dengan penampilan tampan dan sikap dingin itu memanggilnya ke sudut dan berkata, “Aku suka kamu.” Semua orang terkejut, termasuk Jeanne. “Aku seorang ibu tunggal dan aku punya anak. Apakah kamu yakin kamu menyukai saya?” katanya. "Sebenarnya... aku menyukai anakmu!" Semua orang terkejut ketika Master Keempat Swan menikahi Jeanne tetapi hanya dia yang licik mengetahui bahwa dia telah mendapatkan tidak hanya satu, tetapi dua pemain penting untuk permainan catur yang sedang dia mainkan.

Eve Thompson found herself waking up in the bed of S City's most eligible bachelor with his arm around her waist, but she only had her mother's words in her mind. "Make sure nobody finds out you're disguised as your sister," she told her, looking at the fake birthmark drawn with makeup on her remaining daughter's face. "You have to get Mr. Charlie to marry you, everything we have depends on it!" said she. It was a shame, for the man beside him closely resembled the man she'd lost many years ago. Anthony Charlie's favor with women was notoriously hard to gain, but in a drunken stupor, he crawled under the sheets with the woman beside her, enticed by the memory of someone he'd lost long ago that this woman resembled. However, she never had a birthmark. It could never be her. Was their encounter coincidental? What would their hidden past reveal!? Join Eve Thompson on her exciting journey of courtship and political espionage as she steps into the shoes of her twin sister's now-abandoned life and tries to save her family by winning the heart of the mysterious bachelor, Anthony Charlie!

Alticia, a 120-year-old high elf with the grace of a swan (that keeps tripping over its own feet), has one dream: to become a legendary bard who inspires the world with her songs. There’s just one small problem. Her singing is so catastrophically bad that even goblins cover their ears, birds fall from the sky, and the village elder pretends to be hard of hearing. Armed with a handmade staff, an unwavering (and completely misplaced) confidence, and a repertoire of songs that can make plants wither, Alticia sets off to save her village from a goblin invasion. Her plan? Sing them into submission. Join Alticia on a hilariously disastrous journey through a medieval fantasy world where she battles monsters, gets lost in the woods, and somehow—somehow—keeps surviving her own mistakes. Because when you can’t fight, run, or think straight, you just have to sing your way through life. Off-key, of course. Can Alticia turn her "unique" talents into something great, or will her journey be a symphony of chaos?

Charlie is a nobody. In the small, forgettable town of Maplewood, Charlie barely exists. His days are spent in a haze of lethargy, slumped on a basement couch that smells faintly of regret. His body, soft and bloated, seems to mirror the weight of his apathy—a monument to years of bad decisions and the crushing inertia of laziness. His parents look at him with disappointment, his classmates avoid him like a bad smell, and the girls, even the kind ones, can barely disguise their pity. He’s bullied, mocked, and ignored, but Charlie doesn’t care. Not really. Or so he tells himself. Until one day, a moment so small and humiliating it shouldn’t matter tears open the carefully constructed wall of indifference he’s built around himself. For the first time in years, Charlie feels something stir deep inside—a spark of something raw, terrifying, and undeniable. Then, one night, everything changes. A system appears, a voice in his mind that speaks of transformation, power, and redemption. It offers him a choice: to stay as he is and sink deeper into the void of his existence, or to rise—literally—and reshape himself, body and soul. The system promises him a path, but it won’t be easy. To shed the weight of his old self, Charlie must first face the physical and emotional burdens he’s carried for so long. The path is brutal, filled with trials that test his mind, body, and spirit. But as Charlie begins to claw his way out of the pit of mediocrity, he discovers a world beyond Maplewood—a world of incredible challenges, impossible bodies, and a system that rewards transformation. The ultimate prize? A body forged by effort, determination, and resilience—a body of iron, plasma, and even the golden brilliance of the sun. But each step comes with its own cost, and the system’s promises may hide more than they reveal. Can Charlie rise above the weight of his past, or will the weight of the world crush him once and for all?
