Wiggly Tongue

When Lu Huang woke up as Lidia—the villainess of a cringe-worthy romance novel—she was determined not to let the story play out like the dumpster fire it was written to be. Nope. Dying at the hands of the Alpha King after being falsely accused, publicly humiliated, and manipulated into madness? Yeah, that’s not on her to-do list. Armed with a sharp tongue that could flay egos, the street smarts of a broke college grad, and the petty audacity of someone with nothing left to lose, Lidia decides she was ripping up the script. Holier-than-thou saintesses? Screw ’em. Self-righteous alphas? They can eat dirt. If this world insists on casting her as the villain, she’s going to own it—on her terms. One chaotic scheme at a time, Lidia’s ready to rewrite her fate—and if she has to break a few rules (and maybe some noses) to do it, so be it. Villainesses don’t play nice, and Lidia is just getting started.

"Hate was the only thing between us—until it wasn’t." -ISLA- Revenge is my birthright. Ever since the fire that claimed my brother and shattered my family, I’ve rebuilt the Moreau empire from the ashes. But every brick I’ve laid, every deal I’ve struck, has come with one goal in mind: uncovering the truth behind that night. Ciaran Valente is the man I’ve hated since I learned how to hate. Infuriating, cruel, and too clever for his own good, he thrives in darkness, just like I do. But when the ghosts of my past tie his family to my brother’s death, my hatred becomes the least dangerous thing between us. Because Ciaran doesn’t just step into my world—he consumes it. He sees through my armor, breaks down my defenses, and dares to turn my pain into something far more dangerous than vengeance: desire. But love doesn’t exist for people like us. Only power. Only lies. And when the masks come off, one truth will destroy us both. -CIARAN- Isla Moreau is my personal form of torment. Sharp-tongued, calculating, and as untouchable as ice. I’ve craved breaking her for years—not just to prove I could, but because there’s nothing more tempting than watching a queen fall. But Isla isn’t a game. She’s fire wrapped in steel, and she hides secrets even darker than my own. When the past collides with the present, revealing the cracks in our perfect façades, I discover something I didn’t think I was capable of: obsession. She consumes me—mind, body, and soul. But while I want to own her, she wants vengeance. While I crave her surrender, she wants the truth. And in the end, we’re not just enemies. We’re fated to ruin each other.

He took a step forward closing the distance between them and his eyes narrowed when she took a step back, but that didn't stop him from cornering her. "Did you think you can escape from me?" He continued to question and she didn't miss the mockery behind his words. "I…I" she felt her words tied to her tongue because of the man's daunting aura.

—WSA 2025 Entry— In a world where two dominant factions—Curse Weavers and Slayers—have waged a cold war for centuries, the fragile balance of power is on the verge of shattering. The land of Liri, known for its unbreakable 900 Arts of Defense, stands as the last fortress against the ever-growing threat of Ikaron, the war-hardened island that has perfected the 900 Arts of Offense. The two nations, once bound by a sacred pact established by a legendary Grandmaster, now find themselves on the brink of war, their ancient principles and ideologies clashing in ways that could reshape history. At the heart of this chaos is Zchec Kereos, a prodigious Slayer of Liri, who has mastered the elusive Art of Shadow Jujutsu.

Haunted by enigmatic dreams of a woman with a tiger—an omen of fate or an unknown enemy?—Zchec is forced to question everything he once believed.Beside him stands Limo, the carefree yet deadly practitioner of Density Manipulation, and Azzurra, the shieldmaster whose defense is as impenetrable as her sharp tongue. Together, they are drawn into an impending Warfare Meeting, where the fate of their homeland will be decided. But as they prepare for war, shocking betrayals shake the very foundation of their beliefs. Rit, the once-revered Großartig Primera of Liri, has vanished, and whispers suggest he has defected to the enemy. Meanwhile, the newly crowned Niveou Superieur of Ikaron, Kazumi, has mastered the mythical 900th Art of Offense, a technique believed to be unstoppable. As tensions rise, a new force emerges from the depths—the Hydroppers, an advanced underwater civilization hidden beneath the ocean for centuries. Stronger, wealthier, and more evolved than any known faction, Hydroppers have learned to fight not only in the depths but also on land, making them an unpredictable wildcard in the impending war. With their vast resources and superior technology, they threaten to tip the scales of power forever. As Orion, a rogue warrior and Kazumi share moments of whispered confessions and uncertain loyalties, the lines between friend and foe blur.War is coming. Old treaties will break. Ancient arts will be tested. And in the end, the one who masters the balance between curse and blade, shadow and light will decide the fate of this world. Welcome to Jujutsu Saiko—the world of Curse Weavers and Slayers, where power is an art, and death is a masterpiece.
