Beneath the frigid landscapes of Sweden lies a web of lies, corruption, and deadly secrets waiting to be unraveled. At its heart is Lisbeth Salander—a fiercely brilliant hacker with a mind like a blade and a past that refuses to release its grip. Scarred but unbroken, she’s an enigma: a defender of justice for others but a loner battling her own demons. When disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist is offered the chance to salvage his career, he accepts an unusual assignment: uncover the mystery behind the decades-old disappearance of Harriet Vanger, the beloved niece of a wealthy but dysfunctional industrialist family. The Vangers, cloaked in wealth and power, harbor dark, sinister truths. As Mikael digs deeper into their history, he finds himself drawn into a chilling maze of family betrayals, unspeakable crimes, and a legacy of violence that stretches far beyond what he could have imagined. Forced into an uneasy partnership with Lisbeth, Mikael discovers that she is not just an ally but a force of nature—a woman capable of uncovering truths no one else dares to see. Together, they peel back layers of deceit, facing a torrent of threats, lies, and mortal danger. But as they close in on the truth, Lisbeth’s own shadowy past rises to the surface, threatening to consume her and derail their investigation. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a masterful tale of vengeance, justice, and redemption. It is a gripping exploration of the boundaries of trust, the price of truth, and the indomitable strength of those who refuse to be silenced. Unflinching, riveting, and deeply human, this is a story that will haunt you long after the final page.

It wasn't until her cousin from her second uncle's family changed drastically after nearly drowning that Jiang Mianmian realized she was in a reborn female protagonist novel of that era, and her family of three was destined to meet a tragic end as reprehensible relatives. However, Jiang Mianmian, who knew the plot well, was fully capable of avoiding the tragic deaths of her parents and was not afraid of the seemingly strong but actually hollow protagonist. Her only worry was the powerful ally backing the protagonist. Then she discovered that the protagonist’s powerful ally was none other than the beautiful young man her father had rescued from the icy river last month! So Jiang Mianmian was completely reassured. With this life-saving favor, the young man would definitely not side with the protagonist against her family in the future. Moreover, Dashan took the initiative and said, "Little Lamb, I’d like to court you with the intent of getting a marriage license, is that okay?" As someone obsessed with good looks, Jiang Mianmian struggled and then reluctantly refused, “No, I plan to have a son-in-law who will marry into the family.” The powerful ally didn’t hesitate, “Then I’ll be the son-in-law who marries into the family, and the children will take the Jiang surname!” Jiang Mianmian: “Let’s go, get the marriage license!” (Updated and posted at 10:10 AM on the 16th of this month)

In the wake of the Great War of 3044, the world of Ethera is fractured, its nations divided by ancient grievances and rising political tension. Kiyoshi, once known as the feared Demon of Calamity, vanished during the war after unleashing untold destruction. Presumed dead, Kiyoshi awakens centuries later, a shadow of his former self. With no memories of his past, he wanders aimlessly, his immense mana causing the very forest around him to warp and thicken with magical energy. He is eventually found by Ceng-tae, a villager from a nearby town, who brings Kiyoshi into a quiet, rural community. There, Kiyoshi tries to piece together fragments of his lost past while forming new bonds with those around him—Celosia, a shy but powerful spirit-user burdened by her father’s plans for an arranged marriage; and Rajieru, a mischievous and unpredictable warrior with a penchant for breaking the rules. However, Kiyoshi’s peaceful life is interrupted by troubling signs from the outside world. The delicate balance between nations is unravelling, strange magical occurrences are on the rise, and whispers of forgotten demons and ancient powers grow louder. Celosia’s arranged marriage is part of the village’s desperate plan to secure their future, but the tension it creates threatens to tear them apart. Kiyoshi and his companions head to Kuoh Academy, a prestigious school of magic where they can hone their powers and uncover the truth about Ethera’s looming conflict. But as Kiyoshi starts to experience disturbing flashes of his past—visions of chaos, war, and a power beyond imagination—he realizes that his return might not bring peace but the resurgence of an ancient, hidden evil. As Kiyoshi and his friends delve deeper into the academy’s mysteries, they begin to unravel a startling truth: history has been rewritten, and the demons—once thought to be the enemies of the world—may not be the true villains after all. With his past slowly catching up to him, Kiyoshi must face the darkness within himself and decide whether he will be the world’s saviour or its doom.

Tattoo of Fate In a world where dragons are extinct and the kingdom above reigns with unchecked power, Kaida, a young orphan from the forsaken undercity, carries a secret that could change everything. Marked at birth with a glowing, mystical tattoo, she is the last living vessel of the Dragon God, the ancient and forgotten deity of the now-extinct dragons. For years, she has concealed her extraordinary power, knowing that if the Surface Kingdoms ever discovered it, she would become a weapon to be controlled—or worse, destroyed. Kaida’s life takes a tragic turn when her forbidden love, Elara, a noblewoman from the Surface, discovers the tattoo and the immense power Kaida harbors.

For as long as the world can remember, nature was breathtakingly beautiful. ____ In the interstellar era, their long voyage led them to the pinnacle of evolution. Even in the vast sea of the stars, they remained at the top of the food chain. However, this also led to them losing their only home. Their beautiful blue planet, the birthplace of life, has long been destroyed. On the remaining habitable planets, spiritual plants have become scarce, and all animals have died, leaving them with nothing but mutant aliens. Even the soil, the water, and the air were polluted. The green scenery and the clear sky are like mirages, living only in their dreams. But what if nature rebelled?

Thya D’Arcy is no ordinary noble. Cursed with the ability to see how and when people will die with just a glance into their eyes, she’s spent her life shrouded in guilt, fear, and isolation. When she foresees the slow, inevitable death of her best friend, Avyanna—crown princess and heir to the Maximillian throne—Thya is paralyzed by the knowledge. Bound by her curse and unable to change fate, she keeps the truth to herself, even as Avyanna’s condition worsens. A year later, Avyanna is dead. And Daisuke, her fiery, vengeful younger brother, ascends to the throne as Crown Prince. He knows Thya was hiding something. He suspects her silence cost his sister her life. His once-mocking disdain turns to ruthless hatred as he plots his revenge. Meanwhile, Thya retreats from the world, burdened by the torment of her gift and consumed by self-loathing. But peace isn’t an option when the Imperial Crown Princess Trials are announced.

Her own death by Daisuke’s hand, a dagger buried deep in her chest. Trapped in a game she can’t escape, Thya is thrust into the Imperial Palace—her life now a ticking clock.

Because when emotions run as hot as theirs, hatred and love are closer than anyone dares admit. And for Thya and Daisuke, that line might just be fatal.
