The Rose & The Lion

"In a world where betrayal is currency and love is a battlefield, how far would you go to protect your heart?" Lia Romano thought she had escaped the chains of her past. Once the cherished wife of Dante Moretti-Il Leone, the most ruthless billionaire in Milan-she walked away with nothing but her dignity and a secret too precious to share. Her divorce was a scandal whispered in every corner of high society, but no one knew the truth: that Lia was framed for a crime she didn't commit. Now, three years later, Lia has rebuilt her life as a celebrated marketing strategist, fiercely guarded by her seven overprotective brothers, all CEOs ruling Italy's most powerful industries. But when her new job forces her to work under Dante, old wounds resurface, and so does the undeniable spark between them. Dante's world is thrown into chaos when he discovers her secret-Matteo, the son he never knew he had. As Dante fights to reclaim the family he lost, he must also face a web of conspiracies threatening to destroy everything. From Vittoria Conti, the venomous socialite who dreams of becoming Mrs. Moretti, to Alessandra Ricci, the jealous colleague hell-bent on Lia's downfall, enemies lurk at every corner. With scheming villains, jealous rivals, and shocking betrayals, Lia and Dante's love story is anything but simple. Torn between her past and her future, Lia must decide: Can she forgive the man who broke her heart, or will the shadows of his world consume them both? Amid fiery boardroom battles, luxurious galas, and emotional confrontations, La Rosa e il Leone is a tale of redemption, family loyalty, and a love that refuses to fade—even when the odds are stacked against it. "He called her his rose, but roses have thorns—and this time, she wouldn't let him bleed her dry." Will Dante prove himself worthy of Lia's love? Or will the scheming forces around them tear them apart forever?

THE FALLEN DIVINITY: The Era of the Devangsh

~From ancient times, humans were safeguarded by the Devas—beings of divine power and righteousness. But even the Devas were not immune to the allure of desire, and when their ambitions turned corrupt, their immortality bore a terrible curse. ~In a world where humanity has become the greatest adversary of divinity and virtue, ancient threats long thought to be myths still linger in the shadows. To counter this darkness, a new generation of Devas must rise. ~These are the Devangsh, fragments of the divine who walk among humans, their true identities concealed in plain sight. But even within them, shadows fester, threatening to awaken ancient rivalries and devastating calamities. ~At Aditya High School, five seemingly ordinary students—Manash, Arunika, Vani, Suraj, and Bikram—struggle to balance their teenage lives while hiding the truth of their divine heritage. Just as they begin to unravel the mysteries of their destinies, a transfer student named Akshay arrives, exuding a presence that is both terrifying and familiar. His arrival marks the beginning of chaos, as calamities follow in his wake. ~Who is Akshay? ~Is he an ally, bound by an ancient oath to protect the Devangsh?

Secrets buried for centuries resurface, and the past begins to unravel. ~As loyalty is tested and the stakes grow apocalyptic, Manash and his comrades must uncover the truth about Akshay, the origin of the Devangsh, and a destiny they never sought but cannot escape.

The Warmth of the Sun in the Winter

"They told me the stars could guide me home, but they never said the journey would leave me so utterly lost." Do you still remember your highschool deskmate? The boy with the brightest smile, that girl with the world's most beautiful silhouette? In three years of high school, the shadows of two people intertwine with the chalk, black and white both distinct, drifting around within the memories. The Su Yuanzhou in her memories was an underachiever in high school. He skips class to shoot pool, cheats on his exams and gets into fights. Yet, when she went back to the past she would always surprise herself for seeing a lot of his side, maybe if she did this before he probably wouldn't die. To be able to meet each other on this planet is some kind of fate, and to be able to illuminate our fleeting lives, how fortunate we are. ... Ren Yuxin was trailing behind Su Yuanzhou like a guilty puppy, her face plastered with an exaggerated pout. "Come here," Su Yuanzhou said, stopping in his tracks and turning to look at her. His tone was calm, but the slight twitch in his jaw betrayed his frustration. "Why?" Ren Yuxin asked, her voice overly cautious, taking a step back instead of forward. "Just come here." His patience was running thin. Ren Yuxin crossed her arms and tilted her head dramatically. "No! You’re going to hit me!" Su Yuanzhou froze, staring at her in disbelief. A few students nearby stifled their laughter, pretending not to watch the exchange. "I’m not going to hit you," he said, exasperated. "Do I look like that kind of person?" "Yes." Ren Yuxin nodded solemnly, her eyes wide with mock innocence. Su Yuanzhou sighed, rubbing his temples. How does she manage to drive me insane every single time? His patience—already minimal—was hanging by a thread. "Ren Yuxin," he said, his tone low and dangerous. "Come here. Now." "No way!" she retorted, taking another step back. "I know you’re mad because I—" She paused, looking guilty. "Because you what?" Su Yuanzhou prompted, narrowing his eyes. "... Because I accidentally sent that embarrassing video of you singing in the shower to our group chat," she admitted in a small voice, her eyes darting away. Su Yuanzhou’s face darkened instantly. He felt every shred of his dignity crumbling. "Accidentally?" he repeated, his voice rising. "It really was an accident!" Ren Yuxin protested, raising her hands defensively. "I didn’t mean to press send!" "Accident or not, you’re dead," Su Yuanzhou said, stepping toward her with purpose. "See! You are going to hit me!" she squealed, turning on her heels and running off. "Get back here!" he yelled, chasing after her.

Villain Recruitment: I'm Just A Psychic

Meet Jayden, your average middle schooler—if by "average" you mean someone who hears voices in his head, has uncontrolled psychic abilities, and is constantly on the run from people he can't see. Life was going fine, you know, just the typical teen drama—until Jayden learned he wasn’t as normal as he thought. One minute, he's having class learning long division, trying to make it through the school day, and the next, he’s got invisible men hunting him down for reasons he doesn’t understand. Sure, that’s a Tuesday for some, but for Jayden, it’s just the beginning of a very weird, and very dangerous, journey. Apparently, these men aren’t fans of Jayden's newfound powers. And in the midst of all this, Anna—his so-called friend—has some questionable motives of her own, leading to a betrayal that throws Jayden into a storm of chaos he didn’t ask for. Enter the mysterious man—let’s call him the guy with a plan. This man swoops in like some kind of mysterious mentor figure who sees potential in Jayden (don’t worry, he’s not here to make him a superhero—far from it). No, this guy sees a lot of raw, untapped psychic chaos and decides to take Jayden under his wing. It’s all very sinister and very confusing, but Jayden doesn’t have time to process it because he's suddenly plucked out of his life, thrown onto a private jet, and given an offer: join the fight, or become a pawn in a game he doesn't understand. And just when Jayden thinks he’s reached rock bottom, he’s introduced to Nadya—one part pilot, one part “I’ll break you if you don’t get your act together” drill sergeant. She’s assigned to “train” Jayden, but don’t get too excited—she’s not exactly on the whole “let’s make him a hero” bandwagon. No, she’s got her own issues, and they’re all written in sharp, Russian-accented sarcasm. The good news? She’s tough. The bad news? Jayden’s about to get thrown into a warzone. Because what’s the best way to “train” someone with uncontrollable psychic powers? Send them into an international conflict, obviously. So, what’s a guy like Jayden supposed to do when he’s got powers, a bunch of shady people telling him what to do, and absolutely no clue who to trust? He can either lean into the darkness and become a villain, or... well, become a hero. Maybe. It’s not looking great for him, though. But here’s the kicker—he didn’t ask for this. In fact, Jayden would much rather go back to his old life of trying to avoid attention, and definitely not end up in some high-stakes international conspiracy. But since life doesn’t care about your plans, Jayden’s about to dive into something far bigger than himself. And it’s going to be explosive—literally. Will Jayden succumb to the chaos? Will he learn how to control his powers? Or will he burn it all down and go down in a blaze of psychic glory? You'll have to stick around to find out. Spoiler: There’s a lot of unpredictable in his future. And honestly? That’s just how he likes it.
