Competitions At Work

Three centuries ago, Lucien Vale made a mistake that cost him his soul. Once a charming, reckless vampire noble, Lucien broke the heart of a powerful woman who cursed him with an insatiable hunger — a punishment that left him condemned to wander the earth, feeding without satisfaction, desire burning through his veins like wildfire. His betrayal brought exile, shame, and centuries of emptiness. His only companion? His also-cursed best friend — the only one who stood by him when the vampire kingdoms cast him out. Together, they’ve survived in the shadows of the human world, hiding their identities, burying their power, and pretending to be something less than what they truly are. Lucien had made peace with his misery. That is… until Aria walked into his life. She is everything he shouldn't want. Everything he can't resist. A struggling bartender with dreams buried under reality, Aria never imagined one night, one alley, and one dangerously beautiful man would change her life forever. When Lucien saves her from an unseen threat—and then pins her to a wall with a kiss that shatters her—she's thrown into a world she never knew existed. A world of blood, power, desire... and monsters. But Lucien isn't like the others. He’s a predator, yes. But also a man tormented by his past, desperate for redemption, and inexplicably drawn to her blood, her voice, her light. Their connection is more than lust. It’s ancient. Fated. She ignites something inside him he thought long dead—a love fierce enough to break the curse. Yet love is never easy in the vampire world. Old enemies rise. Secrets unravel. And the curse? It's not done with him yet. As Aria falls deeper into Lucien’s dark, addictive embrace, she must decide if she’s strong enough to love a monster—and if that love is powerful enough to rewrite fate itself. > Sinful. Addictive. Devastatingly romantic. At His Mercy is a dark, erotic vampire romance about second chances, ancient curses, blood-bound passion, and the kind of love that consumes you… and saves you. He was cursed to hunger forever. Until he hungered for her.

Han Areum was born from a rare Omega, one strong enough to survive alone. But the moment Areum came into the world, his Alpha father abandoned them without a word—no bond, no responsibility, nothing. His Omega dad raised him with gentleness and strength, teaching him to survive in a world where Omegas were too often used and discarded by powerful Alphas. > “You must never let them smell you, Areum,” his father once said. “They’ll see you as prey. Promise me… you’ll stay hidden.” After his father's death, Areum was left completely alone. Since childhood, he’s used suppressants daily to hide his secondary gender. He grew up believing: Alphas are selfish. Alphas take, use, and leave. Love with an Alpha is dangerous. That’s why he never allows anyone close—especially not his cold, commanding boss Yoon Taekho. But the problem is… Taekho isn’t like other Alphas. And that scares Areum more than anything.

The lord raised an eyebrow and said, "When I say one, you cannot answer with two." "Yes." So, she thought, answering with three should be fine, and it's not troublesome at all. "I want you to go east, you must not go west." "Yes." She nodded more submissively. If not east or west, then going north or south wouldn't be bad, not a big problem. "I forbid you to seek other men." "Yes!" She nodded even more affirmatively. She never sought out men; they usually came to her... [PS: The original title of this novel is "Bursting Laughter Concubine: Lord, I Will Wait for You to Divorce Your Wife."]

In a dystopian future where humans are bred and raised as livestock for the extraction of magical energy (“mana”), the story unfolds at Human Ranch Branch 131—a facility run by a small staff but hiding a much darker reality within its walls. The protagonist, Suheon, is both caretaker and master, overseeing the “training” and “taming” of female livestock to maximize their obedience and pleasure-based mana yield. The story culminates in the complete submission of Seohee, marking the final step in her transformation from a proud human to a willing and eager pet. The three women, now fully tamed, find a strange sense of belonging and even joy in their shared fate, their lives revolving around the routines of the ranch and the whims of their master.

Inspired by (an actual book) A Murder Most Unladylike series. It was raining... Murder happened. The victim was alive when we saw her on the P.E field. We asked a few questions. She didn't know who killed her, she didn't see. She was stabbed from the back. There was nobody. She saw blonde hair. There are many people with blond hair. Maya, my best friend, but she was with me.... Michelle Rosestreet. Ms. Anderson and more.... She made it alive at the hospital. But couldn't remember a thing, including us asking questions. That's good. Nobody would know we were solving who the murderer was. It was summer school and only a week has passed by when the murder happened. We had less than four months to solve this biggest and first ever case. Welcome to Emily Rosewood and Maya Summers' mystery.

Su Mo transmigrated to the world of urban cultivation novels with a system. As a passerby, he was not interested in the plot and didn’t want to get involved with the protagonists or the heroines. What he didn’t know was that he himself was also a protagonist and the big villainess bound to a destiny villain system came to his door. [Ding! Destiny Protagonist Detected: Su Mo] [Please Make a Choice!] [Whether to: 1) Kill! or 2) Subdue!] Yang Qingxi looked at the system prompt in front of her and decisively clicked on… *** Note: The beginning of the story is very similar to the plots of many novels out there in the same genre. Here I emphasize! They are not the same! As the story progresses, you will understand. This story is set in a parallel world. The names of many characters will be Chinese, but the story has very little Chinese culture elements. I am not a Chinese so don’t have expectations regarding it. ＼(º □ º l|l)/ Everything in my story is based on my imagination and has nothing to do with any person, place, or religion. All similarities are coincidences. (¬‿¬) Happy Reading!!! (＾▽＾)/

One-line summary: The female lead has a beautiful appearance and seemingly warm personality, but is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her. This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read: 1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly. It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them. (This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!) 2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2. The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him. 3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality. Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced). Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time. Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts. 4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend). 5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!

It was morning. I saw nothing — only a man who looked nothing like a human. I woke up quite early, at least my alarm never went off. I leaned closer to see if he was real. But the truth is he was fake! I am a bitch! A blind one. I agree. Though, I was never physically blind, but my emotions were above blind. What would I have done? That is what makes me unique from other people. A blind bitch! At thirty six, I had a lot to fear and at the same time, I had weaknesses. I might die, who knows? But I was obsessed by a man who looked real but was fake.
