Close Enough Hannah

DANDELIONs

In a world where everyone around her shines, **Lily Williams** has always been the invisible one. The middle child in a family of extraordinary talents—her father, a renowned artist; her mother, a celebrated actress; and her sisters, a prodigy pianist and a rising supermodel—Lily feels like a dandelion in a garden of roses: ordinary, overlooked, and easily forgotten. But beneath her unassuming exterior lies a sharp mind and a quiet strength, honed by years of blending into the background and observing the secrets others try to hide. **Eden Blackwood** is the man who has it all. Born into a family of bankers, he broke away to build his own tech empire, determined to prove he’s more than just a “rich boy.” Handsome, successful, and perpetually in the spotlight, Eden is the epitome of charm—but his playboy persona hides a deeper truth. For six years, he’s been in a secret relationship with Lily’s sister, Clara, a decision made to protect her career but one that has left him questioning what he truly wants. When a scandalous misunderstanding forces Eden and Lily into a marriage neither of them wants, their lives are turned upside down. Lily, tired of being overlooked, begins to step out of the shadows, unaware that her newfound confidence will set off a chain of events that will change everything. Eden, torn between his loyalty to Clara and his growing curiosity about Lily, finds himself drawn to the woman he once dismissed as ordinary. But as secrets unravel and jealousies ignite, the fragile bond between Eden and Lily is tested. Clara, desperate to reclaim what she believes is hers, orchestrates a media storm that threatens to destroy them all. Amidst the chaos, Lily must decide whether to fight for the love she never expected or walk away from the man who once saw her as invisible. *Dandelions* is a story of second chances, self-discovery, and the transformative power of love. It’s about finding beauty in the ordinary, strength in vulnerability, and the courage to bloom where you’re planted—even when the world tries to overlook you. **Tone & Style:** - **Emotional**: Deeply character-driven, with a focus on internal struggles and growth. - **Dramatic**: High-stakes conflicts, misunderstandings, and betrayals. - **Romantic**: A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance with plenty of tension

Captivating the Princess's Heart: Die or Be Mine

Staring at the gun pointed at her head, Hannah felt as if she were watching all of her childhood memories. Cold sweat kept dripping down from the smooth skin of her back, making her quiver slightly. "Don't!" she yelled, tears pooling at the corner of her eyes due to being startled almost out of her wits. "S-spare me! Please spare my life!" she begged. Her beautiful eyes, which are struggling so hard as to not let a single tear of hers drop, are looking straight into Ivan's dark ones, looking as if she were pleading for her life. Looking back at her tearful eyes, a mischievous grin appeared on Ivan's lips. His handsome face has a devilish look to it, looking both extremely evil and elegant at the same time. "Why should I? Give me a good reason, and I might be willing to let you live," he asked without moving his gun away from her head. Hearing his words, Hannah's will to survive made her lie within a second. "I-I like you!" she stuttered. Hearing Hannah confess her feelings for him, the small smirk on Ivan's face slowly faded bit by bit. Ivan has indeed told her to think of a good reason for him not to kill her, but not once has he thought that the fair maiden in front of him would suddenly say those words. Withdrawing the gun that was pointed at the girl's head, Ivan placed it on the back part of his waist before he grabbed Hannah's soft cheek with his calloused hands. "You like me?" he asked, gaining a multitude of nods from the girl who was currently looking at the space behind him, avoiding his dark eyes. Unbeknownst to Hannah, a smirk much less mischievous compared to his earlier ones has once again appeared on Ivan's face, and with a wicked glint in his eyes, Ivan spoke.

MOONBOUND: Love, War and Destiny

The night was thick with mist, the full moon casting an eerie glow over the dense forest. Shadows stretched and twisted between the towering trees, whispering secrets carried by the wind. Somewhere in the distance, a wolf howled—a deep, mournful sound that sent a shiver down Lena’s spine. She shouldn’t have been here. The warnings were clear. No humans were to step beyond the boundary of the village after dark. Yet here she was, standing at the edge of the unknown, her pulse hammering in her ears. A snap of a twig behind her made her whirl around, heart pounding. But before she could react, a figure emerged from the darkness—a man, tall and imposing, his silver eyes gleaming like molten steel in the moonlight. “You shouldn’t be here,” he murmured, his voice a dangerous mix of warning and curiosity. Lena took a step back, her breath catching. There was something unnatural about him, something untamed. She could feel it in the way the air around him crackled with energy, in the way his gaze pinned her like a predator studying its prey. “I—” she started, but the words died on her lips when he took a step closer. His presence was overwhelming, his scent a mix of earth and something wilder, something that made her stomach twist in ways she didn’t understand. Then, as if the universe itself had decided to intervene, the clouds shifted, allowing the full moon’s light to fully illuminate him. And in that moment, Lena saw the truth. He wasn’t just a man. He was something else entirely. Something that shouldn’t exist.

It was Satoya Kamiyama’s 17th birthday, and he was happily celebrating with his close friends during what seemed like a peaceful vacation.

As Satoya watched the destruction unfold—his friends filled with fear—he felt an unexplainable drive. This wasn’t just a normal disaster; it was a supernatural catastrophe, with strange beasts rampaging through everything. But amidst the chaos, something stirred within Satoya. Humanity had survived countless disasters before, but could this be the one where survival alone wasn’t enough? In that moment, it clicked: his instincts led him toward an impossible goal—was it possible for there to be a solace where everyone could simply thrive? It wasn't as easy as he thought, with even bigger historical threats reoccurring in modern times. Can Satoya and his close friends defeat them all or does he need the help of allies? “I’m confident enough to know Satoya’s journey will prevail, but in truth, what can I say?” - The scribe of the ancient crucibles This novel features short chapters (occasional longer ones). The beginning of the novel (first 50~ chapters) is rough, but I will in fact fix the pacing and details once I’m done with the novel. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you enjoy this novel. This is the updated synopsis, the original synopsis was severely outdated and no longer reflected the story’s direction. I’d like to deeply apologize for any confusion. Note - some later chapters would get quite gruesome.
