Evelyn married Duke Kael Dorne before he left for war. Their marriage was cold from the start—built on duty, not love.

O dote é dois milhões de dólares, nem um centavo a menos. Jiang Yu já tem dezoito anos e já pode se casar. Envie o dinheiro para o meu cartão, e este assunto está resolvido!" Jiang Yu olhou para sua mãe, que falava sem parar na mesa de negociações. Ela assistiu enquanto sua mãe ditava o preço enquanto vendia Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu não podia acreditar. Dezoito anos atrás, eles levaram o bebê errado para casa do hospital, e Jiang Yu, a verdadeira filha de uma família rica, acabou em um orfanato até um ano atrás. Jiang Ran, a filha falsa da família Jiang, cresceu com privilégios desde que era pequena. Com recursos superiores desde jovem, ela foi mais destacada do que Jiang Yu em todos os aspectos e se tornou o orgulho da família Jiang. Jiang Yu, que passou a maior parte do seu tempo vagando pelo mundo exterior, não era nada além de uma caipira que fazia sua mãe virar motivo de piada no círculo social. No entanto, Jiang Yu não tinha ideia do quanto sua mãe a odiava. No dia em que completou dezoito anos, sua mãe a 'vendeu' por um preço nomeado. Jiang Yu disse, "Se você quer casar sua filha com outra pessoa, deveria ser Jiang Ran. Eu sou sua verdadeira filha. Você é que trouxe Jiang Ran para casa por engano!" Sua mãe respondeu, "Cala a boca. Eu gostaria de não ter te dado à luz. Você só trouxe vergonha para mim!" Jiang Ran disse, "Irmã mais velha, tudo o que a Mamãe faz é para o seu próprio bem. Não culpe a Mamãe." Sua mãe disse, "Estou convencida de que ela não passa de uma cobradora de dívidas que veio até mim para cobrar suas dívidas! Ou você me dá dois milhões de dólares, ou se casa obedientemente!" Jiang Yu foi embora de casa em desespero. Por uma combinação estranha de fatores, ela se encontrou acidentalmente casando com um Sr. CEO. A partir de então, o homem de trinta anos mimou sua esposa de dezoito anos até os céus. A garotinha disse, "Senhor, alguém intimidou sua esposa!" O homem, "Que incompetente cego é tão ousado que se atreve a intimidar você?"

Por sete anos, ninguém ousou menosprezá-la. Sua reputação foi manchada. Teve um aborto e se divorciou antes. O ex-marido canalha também era seu sobrinho. Por outro lado, não se casaria com ninguém além dela. Não se importava com rumores e palavras bárbaras, e por isso não hesitou em ir contra todo o clã. ... Inicialmente, pensava que a coisa mais trágica na vida era amar a pessoa errada. Mais tarde, percebeu que não era. Descobriu que a coisa mais trágica era que finalmente encontrou o amor verdadeiro, mas naquele momento, estava coberta de feridas. Ela era fria como gelo e ele era apaixonado como fogo. Ela persistiu por sete anos, e ele também. No final, ainda perdeu para aquela chama persistente e concordou em se casar com ele. No entanto, na noite anterior em que iam ao Cartório Civil para obter sua certidão de casamento, acordou e voltou dez anos atrás. Naquele ano, estava no auge da juventude.

Sie wurde von ihrem Ehemann und seiner Geliebten gezwungen, ins Meer zu springen und Selbstmord zu begehen, nur um gerettet und sieben Jahre lang von dem Onkel des Mistkerls gepflegt zu werden. Er war ihr Unterstützer geworden und beschützte sie akribisch. Sieben Jahre lang wagte es niemand, auf sie herabzusehen. Ihr Ruf war beschädigt. Sie hatte eine Fehlgeburt und war geschieden. Der miese Ex-Ehemann war auch sein Neffe. Andererseits würde er niemanden außer ihr heiraten. Er kümmerte sich nicht um Gerüchte und barbarische Worte, und dafür zögerte er nicht, sich gegen den gesamten Clan zu stellen. ... Anfangs dachte sie, das Tragischste im Leben sei es, sich in den falschen Menschen zu verlieben. Später erkannte sie, dass es das nicht war. Es stellte sich heraus, dass das Tragischste war, dass man endlich die wahre Liebe fand, aber zu diesem Zeitpunkt von Wunden bedeckt war. Sie war kalt wie Eis und er war leidenschaftlich wie Feuer. Sie hatte sieben Jahre durchgehalten, und er auch. Am Ende verlor sie doch gegen diese beharrliche Flamme und willigte ein, ihn zu heiraten. Doch in der Nacht bevor sie zum Standesamt gehen wollten, um ihre Heiratsurkunde zu bekommen, wachte sie auf und kehrte zehn Jahre zurück. In jenem Jahr war sie in der Blüte ihrer Jugend. Sie war noch immer so schön wie eh und je, und ihre Jugend war nicht verschwendet. In jenem Jahr war er gutaussehend und vielversprechend. Sie betrachtete sich im Spiegel und weinte still. "Onkel, diesmal werde ich dir das Beste geben."

Imagine: A stone-cold Russian billionaire heir—Viktor Mikhailov (picture: brooding, black turtlenecks, eyes like a winter storm)—gets his entire life nuked when a secret baby appears on his doorstep during a thunderstorm. The twist? - The mom’s a manipulative party-girl who drugged him to get pregnant (trauma). - Baby Misha is half-Korean, all cheeks, and already inherits his "I will end you" glare. - Viktor’s family? Literal villains. Think: evil stepmoms, icy patriarch, and a mansion full of backstabbers. Now he’s juggling: - Harvard poetry classes (his one soft spot), - Diaper explosions (Yuri, his himbo bodyguard/BFF, helps… sorta), - Mafia-level family drama (they want the baby gone). Vibes: - "John Wick but with baby wipes." - "Succession meets Masha and the bear." - Angst so thick you could drown in it… until Misha babbles and Viktor’s cold heart melts. Why you’ll cry: - Viktor whispering “I don’t deserve you" while sobbing into Misha’s curls. - Misha throwing mashed potatoes (Ah, I think it was yogurt? shii, I don't remember) at Anastasia’s $50k fur coat. - The jellyfish hair clips. Always the jellyfish clips. TL;DR: A man who’d never held a baby becomes DAD OF THE YEAR while fighting his psycho family, falling in love with his kid, and low-key redeeming his soul. Feat. Russian lullabies, baby fencing lessons, and emotional damage.

In the quiet town of Aokashi, in the fictional country of Hinokuni, spring returns as always—but for Akira Hayasaka, everything feels painfully the same. A top student, admired for his brilliance and composure, Akira is secretly drowning in expectations and isolation. That begins to change when he’s seated next to Airi Tachibana, a quiet book-loving girl who doesn’t smile just to please or look at him with admiration. She doesn't try to talk to him, impress him, or pretend to be anything. She just… exists. Calmly. Honestly. A chance encounter while saving a stray kitten brings them closer, and Akira discovers a hidden side of her—an anonymous online writer whose words feel too personal, too familiar. Unspoken thoughts. Quiet truths. Things he’s never had the courage to say aloud. As petals fall and seasons change, Akira and Airi slowly begin to understand each other—not through loud declarations or dramatic gestures, but through silence, presence, and the small steps that lead to something more.

She was cold in chat. But when they met, her silence spoke louder than words. Nayla is the kind of girl who leaves your message unread, not because she doesn’t care, but because she doesn’t know how to care in a way that fits inside a blue bubble. Raka, a warm and extroverted guy, falls for Nayla’s quiet presence. But as their connection grows, so does his confusion. How do you hold on to someone who disappears every time the screen lights up? This is not a story of grand declarations. It’s about pauses, glances, and the kind of love that lingers in silence. Cold on Screen, Warm in Real Life is a slow-burn urban romance about learning to speak each other’s language even when one is made of noise and the other of quiet.

Moon Young Jae’s homophobic family considered him a disgrace and held his freedom in their clutch. Even with being obedient, he was not free from their abuse. Young Jae was almost blinded and crippled by his father when he stood up for himself for the first time. Left to bleed and die, luckily, he did have a family who wanted to save him. It was twin cousins, who were disowned long before him, who saved him. Sad and hopeless, Young Jae became curious when he met his cousins’ friend, who understood him better than anyone, even without words. Curiosity got the best of him, and he ended by handing his heart, love and soul over a plater as a price. Slowly, Young Jae fell in love with everything about and around Min Jun and eventually fell for the man. Calculative Wang Min Jun entered Young Jae’s life accidentally. He challenged Young Jae's belief with a warm smile and flipped Young Jae’s world upside down. Min Jun read Young Jae like an open book. He planned to get over the little crush he had on his seniors' cousin brother but failed miserably. Min Jun did not like the often-visited ‘frown’ between those beautiful eyebrows and even the always singing of ‘sigh’ through those sinful lips. Min Jun made it his mission to change it only to fall for everything about Young Jae. Wang Min Jun carried his share of baggage, but he was well-prepared to meet the demons from the past head-on. But Young Jae became a mess whenever his past demons decided to pay a visit. He realised he did not have to face anything alone as he has a wonderful boyfriend who cherishes everything about him. Both faced their past demons and trauma together. When a person betrayed by a family fell in love with a person who holds his family above everything, sparks flew, and hearts soared in happiness. Will their story has a harmonious bell, or would it be a sea of misery? Teaser: Files were shattered all over Min Jun’s bed, and his laptop was placed on the bedside table. It chimed once in a while, indicating a new email for him to check. The work was piling more and more as he was diligently finishing it. Young Jae walked into his boyfriend’s bedroom to witness his handsome lover working hard. "Jun Jun! Are you busy?" Even though Young Jae did not want to disturb his lover, he knew he needed some help to impress his boss. "Never for you, love. Tell you what you need?" Min Jun did not lift his head from the file he was going through, but the warmth in his voice reached Young Jae's heart without fail. "Do you have a minute to help me in reviewing my monthly internship report? I have to present to our boss tomorrow morning." Young Jae pouted as he asked. Min Ju looked at his adorable tokki and smiled mischievously. "You are brave, asking your superior to help you sneakily. I can't do it for free. I need a huge bribe to help you. What are you planning to offer?" "Be serious. You have too much work to do." Young Jae chided his shameless boyfriend, who never failed to seize every opportunity to make him moan and groan as he takes him to the pleasurable heaven. "Exactly. I have too much work to do. If I am taking my time to help you, I need something in return. Something so tempting that I don’t mind cramping lots of things later." Min Jun smiled like a devil he was as he grabbed Young Jae towards him. The little rabbit who fell into the cunning wolf's lap did not even get a chance to protest as he was devoured breathlessly. Young Jae forgot why he entered the wolf's lair altogether. Min Jun pushed the files away to make space for his little rabbit to lay down comfortably. Young Jae’s report was long forgotten as a treacherous hand started to caress him again under the shirt as a sinful sound filled the room.
