In front of a crowd, the classic "broken engagement" trope unfolded. Gu Feng smiled faintly and took out a golden abacus. "That certain someone, I don’t mind you breaking off the engagement. However, you’ll have to pay me compensation." "At three years and one month old, I secretly fed you a piece of jerky. The meat itself wasn’t worth much, but the seasoning on it was expensive—100 spirit stones." "At three years and two months old, I gave you a wooden knife. This blade was carved over ten years by a master craftsman—1,000 spirit stones." "..." "On top of that, you also owe me compensation for emotional damages over the past 15 years and the next 10,000 years, totaling..."

Ava Summers is the perfect daughter: CEO material, straight-A student, and the only Summers twin with a functioning frontal lobe. She’s survived nineteen years of sharing air and eyebrow genes with Eva — a walking fire hazard who once tried to toast marshmallows on scented candles and nearly set the estate ablaze. So when their parents arranged a marriage to Zeke Ford — the kingdom’s favorite golden boy and serial flirt — Ava reluctantly took one for the family. That is, until Eva pulled a fast one: she spiked Ava’s margarita, slid a shady contract under her nose, and next thing you know… Ava’s waking up married to the wrong twin. Enter Zach Ford — the kingdom’s coldest man alive, walking gloom cloud, and accidental husband. He hasn’t cracked a smile since his mysterious fiancée, Orihime, died under suspicious circumstances. The Ford family thought Eva’s chaotic sunshine might fix him. Too bad they accidentally married him to Ava: a neurotic perfectionist who schedules emotional breakdowns like business meetings. Now Ava has to: Pretend she's totally in love with her emotionally constipated husband. Survive polite society, royal gossip, and unwanted foot rub offers from Shen Wang — her rich, clingy, disturbingly hot suitor who thinks “No” is short for “Not yet.” Figure out if Orihime is actually dead… or just hiding better than Zach hides his feelings. It was supposed to be a PR move. Instead, it’s a rom-com with fake love, real secrets, one stolen car, and at least two murder mysteries. With This Ring, I Loathe You—Yes, I Do: A chaotic enemies-to-lovers rollercoaster with tax fraud, unresolved trauma, and a love story that may or may not be court-admissible—because honestly, I am still in shambles on how to finish this novel without breaking me own phone screen or my heart. Let's see HAHAHA

However, he was fortunate to encounter two women—one fat and the other skinny. They offered to help him escape the forest and become stronger, but in exchange, he had to engage in dual cultivation with one of them. Yang Hao decided to accept their offer.

May isang babae na pangarap na makapagtapos ng pag-aaral sa kolehiyo para matulungan pa ang kanyang kapatid. Siya si Mirabella Trinidad at isang Business Economics student. Matalino at masipag na babae si Mirabella kaya marami rin siyang manliligaw mula noong high school hanggang sa magkolehiyo subalit wala man lang siya natipuhan sa mga ito at prayoridad niya muna ang kanyang pag-aaral. Nagbago lamang ang lahat simula nang nagkakilala at naging kaibigan ang kanyang Math professor na si Jaxton Villareal. Ang binata mismo ang nagpakita ng interes sa kanya hanggang sa unti-unti nang nahuhulog ang loob ni Mirabella rito. Ayaw ng dalaga na magkaroon ng isyu, masira ang kanyang reputasyon at mawala sa kanya ang scholarships kaya't napagdesisyon niyang lumayo at umiwas na sa binata ng walang paalam. Lumipat ng panibagong eskwelehan si Mirabella at dito naman niya nakilala ang masungit na volleyball player na si Gian Rivera ng nasabing unibersidad. Paglipas ng mga buwan, nagkita muli sina Mirabella at Jaxton na hindi nila inaasahan. Dito mas naging masugid sa panliligaw ang binata sa kanyang dating estudyante at sa huli sinagot siya nito. Ngunit, hindi nagtagal ang kanilang relasyon nang kumalat ang isyu tungkol sa kanilang dalawa. Masakit man para kay Mirabella, nakipaghiwalay pa rin siya kay Jaxton alang-alang sa kanyang reputasyon at scholarships. Hindi sumuko sa kanya ang binata at patuloy pa rin ito na umasa subalit tumigil si Jaxton nang sabihin ni Mirabella na sa tuwing nakikita niya ito, naalala ng dalaga ang mga hindi nangyari sa kanya noon. Tumigil ang mundo ni Jaxton na dahilan para umalis siya sa kanyang propesyon at lisanin ang lugar na kasabay ng pagsimula niya ng panibagong buhay.

--- A HUNT FOR THE DEVIL Some shows are meant to entertain. This one was meant to break you. A group of young, ambitious actors is invited to participate in a high-stakes reality show set in an ancient, isolated palace. With no script, no crew, and no explanation of what they're truly filming, the group is left to navigate an unfamiliar, eerie world where nothing is quite as it seems. The grandeur of the palace is breathtaking, but its oppressive silence and shadowed corridors quickly unsettle them. The air itself seems to hum with unspoken warnings. Their director, Erik, remains cryptic and distant, offering them one chilling piece of advice: Never let anyone into your room. As tension builds, the actors realize the palace isn't just a set—it’s a dangerous maze of secrets. And with every passing hour, they begin to feel as though they’re being watched... hunted. But what exactly is the game they’ve been forced into, and who—or what—wants them to play? In a place where the line between reality and fiction blurs, the cast is about to learn that the stakes are higher than they ever imagined. And some roles can’t be escaped, no matter how hard you try. ---

In "Do You Feel Alone?", Marvin Ditch is a ghost in a city of five million. No friends, no family, no life. Until a strange message shatters his isolation: "We are The Last Tribe. Choose the peace of the void." Desperate for connection, Marvin dives into a dark world where loneliness becomes a weapon and the need to be seen could cost him everything. What would you do if someone offered you a purpose — but at an unthinkable price?

Imagine you're in a relationship...(Just imagine since it's not real, is it?) where both feelings are strong but sometimes it's really confusing and then one night, the person you care about says "I want you… not just to hold your hand, but to get lost in everything that you are. I need you… not because I’m weak, but because without you, even being strong feels empty." and they really mean it with aaaalll their heart. And, if you were the one listening to these words, how would you feel? Would you think it's "true love" or would you worry they're too much emotionally dependent on you? What would you say back? They say words carry power but some carry weight. And we often express our feelings like... "I like you." It's Simple, soft, and safe. "I want you." It's Intense, urgent, hungry. "I need you." It's Desperate, vulnerable, dangerous. What we say reveals more than what we feel, it reveals how we love, and sometimes, how we break. It's also about the fine line between affection and obsession, between longing and control. It's about the people who say they want you, need you, love you and the truths buried beneath their words. Because sometimes, the most beautiful things whispered to your heart... come with the sharpest edges. This is about a college girl who's living a double life, one minute she's stressing over exams, the next she's hacking into high-security networks with a secret organization. She’s just trying to get by, until she gets caught up in a massive conspiracy tied to a powerful criminal organization and a guy with a past that's way darker than he lets on. It’s a story about secrets, survival, and figuring out the difference between what you want and what you actually need. There’s action, found family, emotional twists, romance, a "bit" of comedy, obsession, dramatic, possessiveness and a whole lot of heart. If you like stories with messy feelings, strong leads, and dangerous missions, romance with action and comedy, this one's for you.

What if history were a game, and the only way to survive… was to win it? Ryan Zhao was born with a golden spoon, slightly spoiled, brilliant, but allergic to making physical effort. But when he was abducted by a mysterious figure, Zero, claiming himself to be the god of games, alongside another hundred and ten more from all over the world, and thrown into the game of dice, he finds himself stripped of the privilege of wealth and forced to play along, using his wits from 21st century, his charming looks, and his incredible luck. As for the first game he was forced to play, it was Snakes and Ladders, except with a twist. Each square corresponds to a city, and each city corresponds to a historical event, where the players have to change in order to move forward. The winners will have their wish granted, anything they desire: wealth, authority, revenge, superpowers, and even immortality, while the losers will lose their lives. Amidst this, a regressor participates in the game, someone who is willing to go to any lengths in order to change his future and everyone else's.

Once upon a gacha time during the 2020s, there was a game with a low player-base called 'Zenith Girls', an idle tactical gacha game most fitting for males to play. From the game name itself, it's because there were only female characters, except for its mc, an unplayable male character, as if being the only man in the whole world of the game. But players, be it the f2ps, p2ws, whales or the krakens; they still enjoy the game because of these four reasons: First, the anime-style was quite nostalgic, with dynamic blends that makes the characters feel more high quality and lively. Second, is the right amount of indecency that makes players lick their phones when no one is watching. Third, is its super unique playstyle that totally separates it from the typical idle rpg. And lastly, is that the game is blessed with a lovable story. It was suppose to be a diamond-of-a game, but strangely it never received the right attention. Khelzan was one of the players in this low player-base game. He works two part-time jobs the whole day while playing the game at the same time, sleeping for just 5 hours (he actually was surviving and looked healthy enough) just so he could maintain his top 20 status in his server. Top 20 seemed far, but there is one strange thing in the server he is in: even at the infancy day of the newborn server it is already filled with the battle of "who gets to buy more packs" and "who can counter who" and "guild-leader wannabes", as if wasting time and money for an irrelevant online game status that for most, deemed as useless. However, for Khelzan, it was his everything. Well it became his everything after he already spent half of his 'secret money' just at the first day. Now he has nothing to lose, except his status in this game. He is living as he wants to. However, one item changed it all. #This is my first time, wish me luck! #Cover is actually AI generated from chatgpt lols
