Shinra Nervous Smile

"Leo's innocence was shattered the day he witnessed a horror he could never forget which he wished so badly his innocent eyes didn’t witness . His elder brother, once a guiding light, plunged a knife into their father's chest, and walked away with a chilling smile. Leo, still a child, was frozen in terror, his playful nature replaced with a haunting dread. He hid in the shadows, his camera still rolling, capturing the sinister act. As the brother vanished, Leo crept out from under the table, his legs trembling like leaves. He approached his father, whose eyes pleaded for silence. "Dad, what happened? Should I call for help? You're bleeding...you look so sick." His father's voice was barely audible, but the urgency was clear. "Leo, listen carefully. The safe...it's yours now. Only your fingerprint can open it. Never let anyone near it. The truth you seek, it's all inside. When your grandfather comes, go with him, take the safe, and leave with him. Protect it with your life." With those final words, his father's eyes glazed over, and he slumped back in his chair, leaving Leo alone with the weight of a dark secret." a slow peace novel love burning within umm hope you would love it coz am inlove with it already love you future readers

When a mountain comes to life, awakening its consciousness, it takes on another form—a Mountain Spirit. And that’s me reborn with extraordinary Divine powers. Want to know what these divine powers are? Well, one of them allows me to accelerate herb growth—up to one hundred times faster! Impressive, right? But wait, there’s more! I also possess a ‘golden finger’—which is ‘Space-Time’ system that lets me fish for lost techniques, weapons, pill formulas, and other treasures from the rivers of time and space. With these at my disposal, I’m sure to become stronger, at least stronger than the beautiful sect master who claims my mountain as her personal retreat and constantly drag me into her matters. It’s not an easy life, but no need to worry! I’m not just any spirit—I’m a human spirit born from a mountain, which means I have an extraordinary talent for cultivation. To top it off, my system was generous enough to grant me a divine cultivation technique right from the start. There’s just one tiny problem: it’s a dual cultivation technique, and I need a partner to cultivate it. So, I had no choice but to convince the sect master’s stunning disciple to help me out. I mean, it’s not like I’m after her gorgeous long legs, her curvaceous thighs, or her… well, you get the point. I’m just a humble cultivator trying to grow stronger by any means necessary. If only she’d run into some trouble, so I could swoop in and save the day. That would make things a lot easier for me… but alas, life is never that simple. Still, I’ll find a way. With my Space-Time system, my mountain’s power, and a little charm, I’ll outgrow this mountain and surpass everyone—even the sect master. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll enjoy the beauties along the way. *** No NTR, No Yuri, No Yaoi *** LinkTree- https://linktr.ee/Around_The_Moon Discord- https://discord.gg/zTgR9VFduX

A revenge story of a bullied boy who transmigrated to become an OP girl from a mafia family. The boy returns to his old class and faces his ex-bullies as 'Jenn', a perfect girl that everyone loves. “All I wanted was to finally live a normal life. Rather than brooding over what happened before, I did my best to move forward without looking back. The very person that drove me to jump off that bridge on that day sat right behind me in class and I had to see him again every single day, but I still did what I could to stay positive. I didn’t want to have anything to do with these guys ever again. My body was still lying in the hospital bed in a coma with one leg missing. All because of these motherfuckers. But I still managed to have a laugh or two a day, actually more than that as each day passed by. I made more friends than I’ve ever had. I was trying out new things that I could never do before. The past was horrible but the present and the future looked bright. I could not forget or forgive what happened before, but I did not let myself be swallowed up by past suffering. But on this day, everything became clear. Every single one of them deserved to die.”

He stood there silently, looking down at the wounds on his chest, but when he turned to stare at her, he had a smile on his face. She smiled in return when she saw the brilliant smile on his face, the same smile that had drawn her to him like a moth to the fire, even when her instincts screamed 'danger'. "It's finally come to an end," she thought. But her eyes widened immediately when she saw his body. Tears burst forth like a small stream as she ran to him. "No! Win!" She couldn't stop crying when she saw how he seemed to be on death's doorstep. "I'll take you to the hospital right now!" He shook his head when he heard her say those words. "No hospital. Right now, you are my hospital. I want to take in this beautiful sight that is you, nothing else should come first now, got it?" She nodded her head frantically like it'd bring him out of death's doorway. "Why?" She asked with a heavy heart. "I asked someone that question before, and I was left heartbroken some more seconds after that person gave me a reply," He said with a smile. He raised his hand to feel her face and a small smile of satisfaction appeared on his face. "I'm quite happy, my dear plum blossom, and sad at the same time. I'm happy because I didn't lose you this time, and sad because you might be all alone... because of my selfishness. This time, I changed my fate... " His hands dropped, and his eyes lost their luster immediately, but the smile never receded, they remained on his face. The smile on her face vanished without a trace immediately. "No, Win! Don't do this to me, don't do this to me, Win!" ...................................... His name was Winston, but everyone called him Win as an abb. He looked cool and gentle and easygoing, but only Melody knew that it was just a front. She would fight hard to uncover his deepest secrets, even at the cost of fallen in love, with him.

Longing. It was a feeling he knew all too well. He longed for many things, knowing full well he might not be able to attain any of them.

A smile. It's an expression that I think is the most beautiful thing one could witness. A genuine smile is filled with so much beauty behind it, which is why I think it's so beautiful. But I lost my smile, long ago, because of my past. But I wasn't alone, there was someone like me, and it's Veronica. I don't know how, or when, but she also lost her smile because of a past experience that took away her smile for good. Getting closer to her, I realized that she returned my smile... my smile that I had lost for so long. She lifted the walls that surrounded me, just by being herself. And now, I want to do the same for her, I want to bring back her smile, I want to break through the wall that separates me from her, I want her to open up to, I want her to see me as her friend like how I see her as a friend, and most of all, I really, really, really... want to see her smile. No matter how long it takes me, I'll wait, just to bring back her smile, like how she brought back mine.

After two years, he finally found her and snatched the child from her hands, "If you want to be with the child, sign this marriage agreement." She scoffed, "Is threatening me all you know how to do?" The man was somewhat crazed, "Yes, aside from this, I don't know how else to keep you!" Two years ago, because she resembled the woman he loved most, he used every means to get close to her. She responded indifferently, but he became even more obsessed and relentless. However, he never anticipated the day she would run away, and he swore, no matter where in the world, he would find her.

Zara, raised in exile by her mother, uncovers a life-altering secret upon her mother’s death: she is a “Watcher,” a legendary guardian chosen to protect the kingdom from an ancient darkness. Watchers have always been male, and Zara’s birth as the first female Watcher led to her family’s exile. But there’s more—Zara is the first Watcher born without magic and the prophecy speaks of her as the Watcher of two flames(salvation or destruction), making her an even greater anomaly. Now, with her mother gone and the kingdom in peril, Zara must return to reclaim her destiny. Accompanied by her mysterious horse, Hei Hei, who harbors ancient powers of her own, Zara infiltrates the palace in search of answers. What she finds is far worse than she imagined. The current Watcher, a distant relative, and the manipulative queen have turned to black magic, plunging the kingdom into chaos. As darkness spreads, illness, fear, and death consume the land. Zara realizes her mission isn’t just to reclaim her role as Watcher—it’s to dismantle the evil gripping the throne. But her path is fraught with danger, and without magic, her fight seems impossible. Meanwhile, the newly crowned king, grieving his father’s death and burdened by the kingdom’s collapse, faces another challenge—custom dictates he must choose a queen soon to maintain stability. Unbeknownst to him, the woman destined for him is already by his side. As he begins to fall for Zara, she finds herself torn. Her destiny demands she sacrifice everything for the kingdom, but can she deny her growing feelings for the prince? With the fate of the realm hanging in the balance, Zara must decide: will she embrace her role as Watcher, or risk it all for love?

"[A refined good-for-nothing thug in a suit vs the evil but sweet-looking financial magnate. A sweet romance novel where both leads pursue each other.] Su Xianyi was nineteen when she fell in love with Lu Shiyuan. She mustered her courage to say, “Dr. Lu, thank you for saving me. Can you give me your contact number? I’d like to thank you properly.” The man casually flicked away the excessive ash on his cigarette and smiled at her, blatantly flirting. “Do you like me?” Su Xianyi ran away. When they met again, her elders introduced him saying, “You can call him ‘Uncle’.” Su Xianyi felt nervous and guilty in his presence. She carefully hid away her thoughts, but then… The man donned a black suit, white shirt, and was slowly tugging his tie loose. When mesmerizing black eyes framed by golden rimmed glasses, he asked gently in his hoarse voice, “Would you like to come to my place?” Later on, Su Xianyi became famous because her reputation was tarnished for robbing another’s fortune, bullying, and being lawless. Yet, she had a clean and innocent face, making her look harmless, when she was actually a typical evil financial magnate capable of winning arguments and clobbering phonies. Her family clarified, “Our child is most obedient and sensible.” The public apologized, “… Forgive us for being blind!” Someone suggested that they should release a piece of breaking news to subdue undesirable gossip. And then… [Su Xianyi and Lu Shiyuan are already married] became a trending search."

“Smile!” “Why are you making that face? Can't you smile?” “You’re so young, enjoy your life!” Smile... SMILE!... SMILE!!! Why do they always give me advice? Men want to show they're superior by giving me orders. Talking is easy; anyone can talk and say beautiful words. But no one truly knows how others feel; no one is an expert on others' emotions. So why do they give me advice? Do they think they know me? Do they have the illusion that they understand me? If they knew just a tiny bit of what I feel, they would shut up! Or maybe I'm just exaggerating my feelings. To others, it might seem normal, or my suffering might appear bearable. I hate it when they make my suffering look so easy. If only they knew—if they knew, would they keep telling me to smile? If they were in my shoes, could they keep their smiles? If only they could see what I see! Maybe I am cursed or something like that. What would you call someone who lives with devils? Literally! People aren't the devils this time; it’s those creatures clinging to them, breathing with them, as close as possible. How can someone keep their sanity with such a view? Why haven't I thought about suicide? I don't know. I've thought about it many times, but I still feel something. Even if I am exhausted, there's something inside me waiting for light, for hope, even if it seems absurd. Who would believe me? But maybe, just maybe, this small ember inside me isn't lying.
