How To Be A Cold Hearted Man

She was a broke final-year law student, one eviction away from losing everything. He was the university’s coldest, most untouchable professor—rich, brilliant, and hiding a secret. When Amara Okeke gets expelled over unpaid fees and her sister falls critically ill, she's out of options—until a mysterious encounter leads to an unthinkable offer. Marry him. One year. No love. No touch. Just a contract. Dr. Damian Stone doesn’t do love. But his late father’s will demands marriage or he loses everything he's built. What begins as a lifeline quickly becomes a dangerous entanglement of secrets, jealousy, and burning chemistry neither of them expected. As the line between duty and desire begins to blur, Amara and Damian must choose: stick to the rules—or risk it all for a love that was never meant to be. In a world of cold contracts and hidden pasts, can two broken hearts find warmth in each other?

“Don’t fall in love with me. You won’t survive it.” When Alicia's father trades her to clear a massive debt, she finds herself trapped in the high-rise world of Anthony Blake, a young billionaire, ruthless CEO, and the coldest man she’s ever met. He needs a fiancée—for one year only. No love. No intimacy. Just a contract that will benefit them both. But living under the same roof with a man like Anthony is dangerous. Not because he’s cruel, but because he sees too much. And he makes her feel things she was never supposed to feel. She was supposed to be a pawn. But he never expected her to become his weakness. A fake engagement. A broken girl. A man who swore never to love. What happens when the lines blur… and one night changes everything?

Reina Suzuki was an overworked office worker—until she died and woke up as Lavinia Devereux, the infamous villainess princess of the Elarion Empire. She knows how this story ends: she’ll drink poison and die. A painless, easy death. So why bother changing fate? Villainy, revenge, redemption—sounds like way too much work. She decides to do absolutely nothing and let the story play out. But her terrifying father, Emperor Cassius Devereux, won’t ignore her like he’s supposed to. He watches her, questions her, and—worst of all—starts acting like he actually cares. Lavinia just wanted a quiet villainess retirement… So why does everything keep changing?

She woke up in silk sheets, in a body that wasn’t hers, wearing a name that once graced tabloids—not tech forums. But Olivia Carter has never been the girl people expect. And neither is Damien Quinn. In a world of power, secrets, and whispered agendas, two dangerously intelligent souls collide. He hides behind cold eyes and empire walls. She hides everything else. What begins with caution simmers into obsession. And in the city that built them, someone’s about to burn it all down—for love, or revenge.

In the world of Elka, every awakened mage is granted a Grimoire — a living magical book that records their spells, achievements, and evolution paths. Spells aren’t static. They grow. They branch. They transform. For most mages, spell evolution is a game of instinct and talent — cast more, train harder, get lucky. But Arin Ember isn’t like most mages. He’s not even from this world. Transmigrated from a dying, magicless planet where survival depended on science, Arin sees magic not as mystery, but as code. And he’s obsessed with one spell: Fireball. The weakest, most basic spell in existence — and the only one he’ll ever use. While others chase power through variety, Arin dives into obsessive specialization. He dissects Fireball like a physicist. He refines it like a chemist. And in his blank, silent Grimoire, he begins rebuilding it from the ground up — not just evolving it, but rewriting its magical genome. Because in Elka, every spell is built on a hidden structure: mana-sequence code, a chain of runes and elemental instructions like living DNA. It governs everything — from power output to elemental behavior to spell adaptability. And Arin? He’s the first person insane enough to treat it like genetic engineering. Through experimentation, failure, and relentless theory-crafting, he transforms his Fireball into: A self-replicating flame with controlled mitosis A plasma-based projectile that adapts to air density A sentient spark that learns mid-combat And a superheated core spell capable of atomizing magic barriers They call him talentless. They call him obsessed. But soon, may call him something else: The Father of Spell Genetics. The One-Spell Monster. The Fireball Architect.

Princess Rosemary is a wilted flower in her father’s court. Born into a society that puts power on a pedestal, her frail body and faltering angelic powers earn only scorn from the nobles and icy contempt from her father. Suffocated by whispers and rejection, Rose’s gentle spirit breaks, driving her to do the unimaginable. But as she does so, memories of her brother's kindness renew her will to live. Yet, it might already be too late as she's dragged under the raging river. As all hope seems lost, a pair of cold eyes peer back at her. Would their owner bring the salvation she so desperately craves, or a continuation of the emotional torment she has endured since she was a child?

If I asked you, what does it mean to be a hero, how would you respond? Is it fighting to avenge people you've lost? Rescuing others when no one else can lend a hand? Sacrificing your body for people who don't even know your name? Is a hero anyone who is strong, flashy, prestigious, or loves beating up bad guys? The country is in utter chaos as heroes and villains fight for survival. Everyone in between has lost someone. And everyone has their own ideals for what it means to be a hero. The story continues with Rhett, a nobody with no powers except one that lets him experience death over and over again. Can he save the ones he loves? Can he be the hero he wanted to be?

Despite being seen as a weapon, Seram yearns to be something soft - for Silke.

The handsome man parted his thin lips slightly and asked, “Wanna have a one-night stand?” Shen QingShu didn’t hesitate at all. “Let’s do it! Twice!” The next morning, Shen QingShu woke up aching all over. Only then did he discover he’d transmigrated into a book. The handsome guy beside him who’d gone two rounds with him was the protagonist gong, Han Cheng, the second son of the Han Group.

Who is it?” Shen QingShu: … Darling, this reaction isn’t quite right. “I don’t accept this,” Han Cheng said, furious. “One day as husband and wife means a hundred days of grace. Can you even calculate how much grace we have?” Shen QingShu: … No, wait, what are you talking about? It’s not like I’m your wife. I’m just a tool man, and it’s time for me to go offline! However, Shen QingShu found that not only did the protagonist gong refuse to let him go offline, he was going to make him his bride! Shen QingShu: I’m crying. By Lin Ang Si
