Alexander Blackwood had it all—wealth, power, and influence—but the one thing he couldn’t seem to have was a child. For two years, he believed the medical reports that blamed him for the struggle. Meanwhile, his wife, Diana, harboured a devastating secret—she was infertile. And the reports? Falsified, thanks to Dr Joshua, her secret lover. Then came Rose, Diana’s younger sister—beautiful, confident, and utterly irresistible. What started as fleeting temptation spiralled into something forbidden, and soon, Rose was carrying Alex’s child. But Alex wasn’t supposed to be able to conceive… was he? A second opinion shattered the deception—he wasn’t the problem. Digging deeper, he uncovered the real reports. Diana had lied. And now, she was desperate. When bribing Joshua to terminate the pregnancy failed, she turned to something darker—abduction. She had Rose taken, determined to erase the evidence of her betrayal. But Diana underestimated Alex. With the help of Captain Patrick, the search for Rose intensified. Meanwhile, the kidnappers, plagued with guilt, set Rose free. Once safe, Rose exposed everything. The authorities closed in, and Diana was finally caught. But she refused to fall alone. In a desperate move, she exposed Joshua’s crimes, dragging him down with her. Justice was swift. Diana and Joshua faced the consequences of their deception. And as for Alex and Rose? They were free to embrace their future, their love, and the child that was never meant to be.

Imprisoned for thousands of years, Asuren Nightgloom, from out of the blue, had been set free. Sleeping for almost a hundred years, Thea Gailbreeze, at long last, had been awakened. Both had the same mission. Save the Fairy Realm. They messed up before and ended up in that grave situation. Now that they got out of their confinement, they vowed to finish their disrupted mission. Will they be stronger together and save the Fairy Realm? Or will they burden one another and mess up one more time?

In a world filled with monsters, demons, cryptids, ghosts, and all sorts of creatures that wish to harm the innocent denizens of Earth, there exists a secret organization known as Sanctum to protect humanity. Once you join Sanctum, you become a Hunter—a skilled individual capable of hunting and defeating the evil entities that seek to disrupt the lives of others. Then there’s Luna, a woman with nowhere to call home and no one to take her in. Always brushed aside and rejected by the world, her life changes forever when she meets Sunny—a troublemaker and delinquent with a knack for finding potential in unexpected places. Together, Sunny and Luna travel the world, meeting new people, growing their team, and striving to become 5-star Hunters. Their ultimate goal? To claim the title of "World's Greatest!"

The main characters on Hot and Cold meet at a moment they least expected, intially they met one another with cold frosty gazes, but could that change? Aeshi (애시) her name means poetic love, but has her heart grown too callus and cold to show it? and Aerin (애린) his name means beloved jade, will the façade he forged from pressure break?

"In the nothingness, a place that both exists and does not exist, a being sits." This void, this paradoxical space, appears to be both real and unreal, a realm where existence and non-existence intertwine, blurring the line between what is and what isn't.

Donovan and Zoephie's relationship is like the four seasons: winter, where life is never within reach, and as they search for it, their loneliness and struggle prolong like Fall. Together, will they reach Spring while racing through Summer?

[Mature Content; No rape] "Get away from her, Norwig." His eyes were bloodshot, an icy air swirling around him.  "How dare you touch what's mine. She's my mate and you better don't look at her, unless you want to lose your eyes." Shawn threatened. He could feel Emily's shocked gaze on him, but he could hardly care.  "Mate?" Kilan asked. His eyes glanced from Shawn to Emily who was just staring at the ground. "I didn't know she was yours Anderson. And please stay calm. As you can see, she's safe." Shawn could only scoff. "What? am I supposed to thank you? Emily, let's go." Emily, with a shocked look, got dragged away by Shawn. She looked back and gave the vampire a kind smile but Shawn noticed this, so he scooped Emily into his arms, and placed her on his shoulder! "SHAWN! LET ME DOWN! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO DO THIS!" But Shawn never said a word. He took long strides, taking the both of them to an unknown place. "Shawn! We're at an event where everyone can see us! Please let me down." She pleaded but it fell on deaf ears. "Keep quiet. Don't make me handle you roughly." Shawn had a dead serious tone, but this only made Emily angry. "YOU WOULDN'T DARE! You have no right! Not after what you did and said." Suddenly, Emily was placed on her feet and slammed against a wall. Her heart rate picked up, fear enveloping her body as she thought she had finally made him flip. They were at a far part of the estate. Shawn's piercing eyes roved her face, watching her every reaction. Anger, shock, sadness and fear flashed across her eyes.  "Are you sure about that gorgeous? Do I have to remind you that you're my mate? You're mine Emily. No one— and I mean no one— can touch or kiss your skin." Emily was about to protest this but his lips slammed against hers roughly, cutting off her air supply for a moment. She inhaled sharply, her body immediately turning into jelly at the electrifying lip lock. -----------+ Thousands of years ago, a dreadful war befell the earth. A war between two different sides.
