Fate's Entwined Thread

Jan Asano never imagined that moving to the city for university would turn his life upside down. Focused on his studies and determined to avoid distractions, Jan kept to himself—until a chance encounter with Ren Taka, the campus' most popular student, changes everything. Despite their contrasting backgrounds, Ren is captivated by Jan’s quiet intellect and mysterious aura. Ren, who hides his passion for art behind a facade of carefree charm, finds a deep sense of peace in Jan's company. On the other hand, Jan, cautious of Ren’s wealth and status, gradually uncovers the vulnerability Ren tries so hard to conceal. As their bond strengthens, Ren falls deeply in love with Jan, but with this love comes increasing pressure from Ren's family. His parents expect him to inherit the family business, leaving no room for Ren to pursue his own dreams or a relationship with Jan—especially since Jan is both poor and a man. Meanwhile, Jan struggles with feelings of inadequacy, unsure if he belongs in Ren’s world. Their love is further tested when Kai, Ren’s possessive childhood friend, begins to feel threatened by their growing connection. Out of jealousy, Kai plots to drive them apart, orchestrating misunderstandings and manipulating Ren’s family to pressure him into giving up Jan. Caught between love, family obligations, and societal expectations, Ren must make an impossible choice—whether to follow his heart or sacrifice his happiness to fulfill his family’s wishes. In a dramatic climax, Ren faces an ultimatum: choose Jan and be disowned, or stay with his family and lose the one person who truly understands him. With themes of self-discovery, class divide, family expectations, and the challenges of being gay in an unaccepting society, this novel explores the complexities of love and identity in the face of overwhelming obstacles. Ultimately, it is a story of two boys from different worlds fighting to find happiness on their own terms. **Will Ren choose Jan over the life his family has planned for him? And can their love survive the pressures that threaten to tear them apart.

New Life: Second Chance, COMPLETED (magical realism)> This is the story of Kyle Smith, murdered (leaving behind two kids) and reincarnated to the past. Slice of Life story, action/romance, Labeled magical realism due to the reincarnation concept. 2. Courage to Love, COMPLETED (contemporary romance) > A spin-off of NL:SC. A story of Lianne Yang, the daughter of Kyle from his first life. This 3rd novel, is a sequel to NL:SC. Each book is stand-alone, but I do recommend you reading NL:SC first. Mainly because it makes the experience richer. However, even if you don't, you won't be lost in what happens. WARNING: Reading this novel first, before NL:SC means you will read lots of spoilers for NL:SC, especially on the pairings.
