Worth Fighting For

She woke up in an unfamiliar room, her body aching, her memories fragmented. The moment she looked in the mirror, she realized—this wasn’t her face. Once, this body belonged to the precious daughter of the Shen family—an heiress admired by all, engaged to Mo Ziqian, heir of the illustrious Mo family. But the moment her family crumbled into bankruptcy—something he had secretly planned—the engagement was coldly broken off. "You're no longer worthy to stand by my side," Mo Ziqian had said, turning his back without a trace of guilt. As if that betrayal wasn’t enough, the original girl was framed, humiliated, and violated—her pain turned into a scandalous video that spread like wildfire. With no dignity left, she chose to end it all. Just when she stood on the edge of death, Mo Zixuan, the younger brother of her ex-fiancé, reached out his hand. "Trust me. I’ll marry you, I’ll protect you." Desperate and drowning, she clung to that lifeline—only to discover she’d stepped into an even darker abyss. His love was a lie, too. "Even you…" she whispered, tears merging with the sea that swallowed her. But fate had other plans. A new soul awoke in the body—vengeful, cold, and calculating. She wasn’t here to mourn. She was here to make them all pay. "You ruined her. Now, I'll ruin you." But something is wrong. As she begins to seek revenge, memories surface that don’t belong to the original girl. Memories of places she’s never been. Names she’s never heard. Emotions that feel too real to ignore. “Whose life am I really living…? Who am I?” Is she truly just an outsider inhabiting a stranger’s body—or is something far deeper at play? What happens when vengeance awakens something older, darker, and more dangerous? She doesn’t just want justice anymore. She wants answers. And she will burn the world to get them.

BREAKING THROUGH HIS WALLS

Breaking Through His Walls –Synopsis Lena Marks never expected her life to be turned upside down by a man who seemingly had it all: wealth, power, and the kind of control over his emotions that made him nearly impossible to read. But when fate brings her face-to-face with Ethan O'Martin—brooding billionaire CEO and master of emotional distance—she’s thrust into a world where love is nothing more than a facade and vulnerability is a weakness. Their encounter begins in the most unexpected of places: the sterile, cold halls of a hospital. Lena, an ambitious psychology student with a deep understanding of the human psyche, couldn’t have predicted that her brother’s emergency would lead her into the orbit of Ethan, a man who hides his secrets behind carefully constructed walls. But the chemistry between them is undeniable, even if it’s one-sided—or so she thinks. What starts as a simple, seemingly insignificant contract—marry me to protect my image—soon turns into a battle of wills and emotions. Ethan’s icy exterior is impossible to ignore, but as Lena spends more time with him, she begins to see the cracks in his armor. Yet, her heart knows better than to fall for a man who can’t love her back. But as they navigate their fake marriage, a strange and undeniable bond grows between them, leaving Lena torn between her desire for independence and the intoxicating pull of a man who may never let her truly inside. As the fake marriage deepens, Lena finds herself caught between Ethan and two other men who challenge her perception of love and loyalty. A charming and insightful lecturer, who sees beneath her reserved exterior, becomes an unexpected source of support. And then there's a powerful business partner of Ethan’s, who knows the truth about their arrangement and offers Lena the kind of freedom she’s always craved. But Ethan’s indifference to her growing attraction to other men is nothing but a carefully controlled act. When jealousy starts to seep into his every interaction with Lena, the game changes—he might be more affected than he lets on. But Ethan’s past is a dark shadow that looms over everything they build. His first love—someone who left an indelible scar—returns to complicate things, forcing Ethan to confront the demons he’s buried deep within. And as Lena’s heart beats louder with every passing day, she wonders if she’s just another fleeting moment in Ethan’s emotionally fragmented world. Christian, Ethan’s loyal friend and emotional anchor, tries to guide both of them through the chaos, but the walls between Lena and Ethan only seem to grow higher. With each passing day, they inch closer to a breaking point. Will the truth of Ethan’s feelings finally emerge from the dark corners of his heart, or will his past destroy any chance they have at happiness? Lena’s journey is as much about self-discovery as it is about love. With her own walls built over years of emotional baggage, she must decide whether to risk everything on a man who can’t seem to let anyone in. As their relationship teeters on the edge of passion and heartbreak, both must decide if they are willing to break through their walls—before it’s too late. Breaking Through His Walls is a breathtaking exploration of love’s complexity, the walls we build to protect ourselves, and the vulnerability we must embrace to truly heal. Will Lena and Ethan’s relationship survive the tests of trust, jealousy, and painful pasts? Or will they be forced to walk away from a love they never saw coming? ---

Embers Of The Night

As Mia drove through the bustling city streets, her heart began to race—not from the traffic, but from the chilling knowledge that a bomb had been planted in her car.

She gripped the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles turning white as she fought to maintain control. With every red light, her dread deepened. She knew that the moment she stopped the car, the bomb would detonate. The thought of leaving her Lysander behind filled her with a profound sense of sorrow. They had so many plans, dreams of a future together that now felt impossibly distant. With trembling hands, she picked up her phone and dialed Lysander’s number. “Mi Amore?” Lysander’s voice came through, laced with concern. “What’s wrong?” Mia smiled sadly, he could always tell when something was bothering her and yet she was going to leave him. “Lysander , I need you to listen to me,” she said, her voice quivering. “ You’re a very great person. I never thought I would find this type of love. I only thought love like this was just a fairytale. But you….you….” Mia paused taking in a deep breath. “Anna? What’s happening? Is something wrong? You’re scaring me.” Tears rolled down her cheeks as she turned her head towards the backseat where the bomb sat. How could she tell this to Lysander? She was going to die and leave him. She was going to leave him alone with the thoughts and dreams they shared. Silence hung heavy on the line, and Anna could almost hear the rapid beating of her heart. “I just found out…… I… I don’t have much time,” she choked out, tears streaming down her cheeks. “I’m so sorry, love. I won’t be able to see you again.” “Don’t say that! We’ll figure this out! Just tell me what’s happening? ” he urged, desperation creeping into his tone. “No, please, just listen. It’s too late now. I love you so much, and I want you to remember that. You’ve made my life so beautiful. I wish I could hold you one last time.” Her voice broke as she fought to keep her composure. “Anna, don’t—” “I have to go, Lysander . Just know that I’m always with you.” With that, she hung up, her heart shattering into a million pieces. She looked at the cliff ahead of her and stepped on the gas, the car racing towards the cliff. ************* In the heart of a bustling college town, twenty-year-old Anna Mia Harper is juggling classes, bills, and a growing sense of despair as an orphan navigating life on her own.

Excited by the prospect, Anna Mia arrives under the eerie glow of the moon, ready to face whatever the night may bring. But when she encounters a mysterious man lounging atop a tombstone—one who bears a striking resemblance to a deceased local legend—her heart races.

The Ogre Strength Fairy and the Eldest 'Son'

~Updates Daily~ (usually near 8PM ET / 1AM GMT) Single love interest Yuri! No lengthy misunderstandings over this fact~ --- After failing to ascend to the heights of Divinity despite all her preparations, an ancient cultivator finds herself not embracing the emptiness of the void - but the interior warmth of a womb. Her memories intact despite her spirit being a merest fraction of her height - and her trusted Astralism unchanged - she carefully starts over from an infant. How to navigate her family: [really easy with only two parents and an estate full of servants!] How to portray herself: [everyone likes 'sweet' kids and trusts (underestimates) 'weak' girls!] How 'quickly' to reveal the power she gathers: [this region is a 'backwater', let's just take it slow~] How her marriage was arranged before birth: [my parents adore me so at an appropriate time I'll just have it cance- oh?] Dealing with an 'amusing' deceit: ['he' looks worried still, but 'he' doesn't have to worry from me!] Confronting the 'boy' in private: [whatever their iffy plan is, I just obtained a husband-wife~] Even in a new life, | Elua er Goltbred | can't and doesn't *want* to change who she really is. A scheming cultivator. A possessive lover. Neither of those things had been a real hindrance to the Peak of Demi-God. Balancing the two in this life - without driving away the young 'boy' she decided would be hers - centers as much around helping | Qatrand er Yecine | find herself... as it is hoping to ease the fiance into how messed up the 'younger' girl honestly is. It's a good thing that the reborn cultivator can improvise with her ridiculous control of an Illusion Astralism - because plans fail and unexpected things happen when you're not *really* a genius. Like her Physique in this life allowing the lightest 'grip' to crack stone... | Qat | (the nickname picked almost instantly!) despite being a little stunted by her family environment early on, finds her future wife to be 'cute' on their first meeting. ... she really shouldn't have let on. It made her | El | kind of vain. Oh, and muscles. | Elua | : I just like looking at them, okay!? Is it so weird? People can have hobbies... - - - > Types of Cultivation // Spiritual (Soul), Physical (Body), Essence (Qi) > Aspect Trinity // Astralism, Physique, Element 'Ranks' Initial - Early, Mid, Late Lower Realms // Enchanter, Primalist, Breacher Upper Realms // Defier, Demi-god, Divinity - Echelons (First -> Seventh[Peak]) - - - Other Tags: #GL #Slice of Life #Comedy #TheStrongActingWeak #ChildhoodSweethearts (It counts!) Cover Art: AI Text Prompt Generation + title (etc.) added with an image editor. I also tend to do other 'fixes' in post! Potential trigger warnings: > A reincarnator MC that gets a little 'thirsty' a little 'young' but tries to 'keep her own pants on' until the proper age. > A toxic family environment willing to force an unloved child into the role of a crossdresser. A child that grew more than okay with it. > 'Pretty Good Dad' intentionally 'picked on' by his 'sweet daughter' for being a relatively 'minor obstacle'. Seriously, you were warned, average fathers with teenagers. Do not engage your trauma.

Dear Diary, Why Am I Still A Virgin?

Dear Diary, Today marks my 27th birthday—also known as the 27th annual celebration of me being single, untouched, and extremely virgin. No kisses, no cuddles, no late-night “Netflix and actual chill.” Just me, my pillow husband, and a WiFi connection that knows too much. When—WHEN—will I finally experience the fabled touch of a man? Not the spiritual kind, not the “he bumped into me at the coffee machine” kind—I mean full-on rated-R touch. I’ve spent years doing, ahem, research on adult sites like a scholarly nun with a naughty dissertation. When do I get to apply what I’ve learned? I have techniques, Diary. Unused. Untested. Like an IKEA manual with no furniture. Now, speaking of temptation—today, the office AC broke, and the universe delivered a gift. Troy. Shirtless. In all his Calvin Klein ad glory. It’s not even the first time I’ve witnessed his Greek statue body—those six-pack abs, the V-line that points directly to the sins I want to commit—but today was different. Today, I accidentally touched him. And by “accidentally,” I mean I asked Jasmine to allegedly push me in his direction. And by “push,” I mean she launched me like a virgin missile straight into those washboard abs. Did I get smacked in the head? Yes. Was it worth it? Also yes. I’d do it again. Twice. With feeling. So now I’m spiraling. What if—WHAT IF—Troy is the chosen one? The destined deflowerer? My handsome deliverer from the land of celibacy? OMG, Diary, what if my purity ends not with shame, but with glorious ab-rubbing bliss? Stay tuned. Things are heating up—and it’s not just the broken AC. Still painfully pure, Me.
