In "Restoration of Hearts," passionate preservationist Eliana Winters and pragmatic developer Julian Reeves collide over the fate of the majestic Westfield Hotel. She sees a cultural treasure; he sees a business opportunity. Forced to collaborate, their heated arguments gradually transform into reluctant respect as they uncover the building's secrets—including a hidden chamber containing a century-old love story that eerily mirrors their own journey. As they navigate corporate sabotage, family betrayals, and unexpected historical connections between their ancestors, Eliana and Julian discover that the most challenging renovations aren't just in grand old buildings, but in hearts brave enough to tear down walls. Their integrated approach to preservation and development attracts international attention, but threatens powerful interests determined to separate them. Spanning fifty chapters of tension, passion, and architectural beauty, this sweeping romance explores how two opposing visions can create something more beautiful than either could imagine alone—if they're willing to embrace the delicate balance between preserving the past and building the future.

Philip never expected his new life to be so… complicated. When a tragic accident in the modern metropolis of Bortinto abruptly ends his struggle for survival, he wakes up as the scandal-ridden heir of a ducal house in a world where magic and science coexist. Any fantasies of an easy, heroic life vanish the moment he realizes that the estate that he is tasked with managing is drowning in debt, and his reputation has been shredded by rumors involving his predecessor’s broken engagement to the socialite Lady Rosetta—the granddaughter of a prince. Even as he scrambles to rebuild his estate’s fortunes—grappling with contaminated land, mounting debts, and shrewed industrialists—he unearths troubling secrets about the original Philip’s heartbreak and suicide. A dark, hidden force seems intent on wiping him out for an unknown reason. As conspiracies emerge linking Lady Rosetta’s departure to these shadowy machinations, Philip struggles to separate ally from adversary, not knowing why this power in high places is so bent on destroying him. Meanwhile, the realm teeters on the brink of monumental change. Technological and social revolutions collide with century-old magical traditions, and war drums thunder on the distant borders. Armed with his modern knowledge of finance—now fused with the kingdom’s burgeoning industrial innovations—Philip attempts to ride the trends and transform his estate into a beacon of prosperity and secure his heirship to the ducal title. Yet each small triumph only attracts more enemies. Tasked by the System with cultivating a supernatural entity while uncovering the real reason behind Lady Rosetta’s canceled engagement and the original Philip’s tragic end, he must also shield those he grows to care about from the looming threats. Will he harness the synergy of magic, technology, and commerce to steer his estate toward greatness, or will malevolent forces quash his second chance at life? Will his second chance at life end the same tragic way as his first?

Arthur, a Legendary Player in the game "Second Word", died after a long pursuit by the gods. When he woke up, Arthur found that he had returned to ten years ago, and had even become the weakest monster in the game "Second World", a skeleton! Fortunately, with his unique talent, namely evolution, Arthur can continue to develop. Starting from a skeleton soldier, a skeleton warrior in heavy armor, to the King of Undead Currently, "Second World" has not been opened, with his evolutionary ability, Arthur will continue to grow stronger .... waiting for the players to arrive. Note: The MC in this novel is an anti-hero and a bit of a villain, the story is mostly about the development of the mc and the undead/skeleton world and there is also NO romance or harem in this novel. The mc will focus on expanding and developing his power in the world. This will be an interesting novel in my opinion because there are many wars with the Human Kingdom in the middle of the chapter that I might make. And this novel will be slow paced, there will be some time before the player finally enters the game. Before that I will focus on the story of the mc developing his powers If you have any criticism and suggestions, please tell me, I want this novel to develop and get better Happy reading ;)

Among the polished silver and immaculate halls, she’s determined to play her part as the perfect lady's maid: quiet, diligent, and invisible. But nothing at Wyndham is as simple as it seems.
