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]) - - - 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 FL that may seem (to some) like they are being groomed due to 'true age' difference. > A 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.

A guy who has been in love with his childhood friend for 12 years while pursuing his dream of becoming a streamer meets the person who would become his number one fan-and maybe something more...

Serena received evidence that proved her brother-in-law, Asher, killed her step sister, Lariette, a year ago. When she received the evidence, Asher invited her to drink at a bar. However, they accidentally kissed when Serena was bullied by a woman who wanted to match her with Asher. When they kissed, Serena suddenly had the ability to see a piece of Lariette's memory. At first, Serena still couldn't believe that this miracle really happened to her just because she kissed her brother-in-law. Did Lariette give this special ability to her stepsister indirectly so that she could reveal the truth behind her death? At the same time, Asher was also demanded by his parents to marry a rich woman and have a child. Asher really objected to his parents' request, especially since his wife had just died a year ago. However, since kissing Serena, he had a crazy idea. He wanted to make Serena his wife so that his parents wouldn't bother him anymore. At first, Serena didn't want to accept the crazy offer. Moreover, marrying a murderer would make her life restless. However, as time went by, after thinking about it, marrying Asher actually brought her luck so she could see Lariette's memory just by kissing him. Finally Serena agreed to marry Asher, but it was not that easy to achieve her wish. The condition given by Asher was that they were not allowed to kiss each other or have sex even though her parents demanded that they have a child soon. This made Serena even crazier. How could she tempt Asher who was very cold and mysterious, to want to kiss her?

"You are the Yan family's heir. From now on, you are a boy, not a girl." From the moment Yan Xiuran could walk, those words defined her existence. As the eldest child of the Yan family, she was never allowed to be weak, never allowed to make mistakes, and most of all—never allowed to be herself. For twenty years, she lived as the perfect son—ruthless, brilliant, unstoppable. Until the day she was no longer needed. Her sickly half-brother recovered. Overnight, she was framed for crimes she didn’t commit. Branded a traitor. Disowned and exiled. "You were never my child. You're a bastard." Stripped of everything, Yan Xiuran vanished. Five years later, she is no longer the forsaken heir but Li Xiyan, a nameless medical student with no past. But fate has other plans. Assigned to care for the fragile daughter of Shen Yuze—her family’s greatest rival—Xiyan is dragged back into the world she swore to abandon. Shen Rui clings to her. And her cold, calculating father? He refuses to let her go. "Stay by my daughter’s side, and I will give you everything your family took from you." Her family abandoned her. Now, her enemy treasures her.

It all started with a glass of Tequila that Aira thought was orange juice, making her drunk and unknowingly spending a hot night with a handsome young man named Renji Ishikawa. As a result of that night, Aira's life changed drastically, especially when she had to marry Renji Ishikawa, who turned out to be a teenager in his teens. But if she refuses to marry him, Aira is threatened with a lawsuit on charges of sexual harassment against a high school student. ………… How sad it was, how heartbreaking, and feeling like the biggest fool for being in the middle of the wedding of her ex-lover and her best friend. "Your drink, Miss," offered a polite waiter, approaching with a tray full of various colours and flavours. She picked a glass of orange drink with a fresh cherry on the rim. Her moon-like eyes stayed fixed on the groom while she drank the beverage until it was empty. Nothing strange happened to the sweet girl for a minute, but suddenly, dizziness struck, and she stumbled as her body swayed. Her delicate hand searched the wall for support, afraid of falling, feeling like she was experiencing an earthquake, and seeing everything around her shake. Feeling too weak to walk, she chose to squat near a large pot close to the ballroom's entrance. People around her watched silently, unwilling to help; some even gossiped about her. She was distressed and needed help, not performing for an audience, yet many still criticized her. Wild imaginings suddenly crossed her mind, wishing for a handsome prince on a white horse to rescue her, like scenes from her childhood anime favourites. But things like that only happened in fairy tales, where the prince would permanently save the princess from the villain's hands. That was how the stories were written. For her, there would never be a prince in her life story. But who would have thought that God would grant such an extraordinary miracle? Among the hundreds of high-class guests, one person approached and tried to offer help after observing her in silence. A handsome young man in a black suit stood right behind her. "Miss, are you alright?" he asked, concerned. "Who are you?" she asked, her voice still shaky from crying. The man stood frozen for a moment as though startled by the sight of this stranger but then smiled and extended his hand. "Don't cry here. Let me help you up." She shook her head, her cheeks red, not from embarrassment but from the effects of the drink. "My head is spinning, and I can't walk." The young man raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Alright then." He slipped his arms between her legs and under her body, lifting her, and she was heavy, just as he expected. From afar, the girls began to watch with shocked faces, filled with envy, anger, and jealousy, seeing the young man from the Ishikawa family carrying a girl, rumoured to be Aira Hoshino, the ex-girlfriend of Kairo Kenzaki and the best friend of Mika Kurogane, who were the couple getting married tonight. She rested her head on his shoulder comfortably, inhaling the refreshing scent of mint. Only this handsome young man, like a Greek god, came to her aid, asking about her condition, and now, carrying her out of the party without saying a word. "Where is your home?" he asked as he laid Aira, the girl he just met, into the car and fastened her seatbelt. "I don't want to go home," she whimpered. "Why?" he asked as he sat in the driver's seat. "Do you want to comfort me while my heart is broken?" she said, draping her arms around his neck. A grin spread across his handsome face. "How?" he asked, pretending not to know. "Stay with me until morning," Aira teased with a playful smile. In the next moment, Aira's lips were captured in his. Slowly, Aira's eyes closed tightly, leading her into a peaceful dream, soaring high into the sky, feeling as if it were real, not just a dream. …

Beneath his gentle protection..but who is truly guarding whom? Tyler Lockwood’s life is a mess. Once a successful man, he loses his job, his stability, and almost his sanity until he lands a gig as a security guard at one of New York’s most prestigious high-tech companies. The catch? His boss is Mr. Han a cold, powerful, irritatingly hot Korean billionaire whose presence alone can set anyone’s pulse racing. Tyler never planned to get tangled in Han’s world.

Restraint crumbles. Yet, their world isn’t meant to collide. Their company forbids relationships between employees. Their lives exist in separate spheres. And yet… neither can resist. A choice must be made… hearts will break, secrets will spill, and bodies will collide—only then can everything fall into place.

Ten years of marriage. Known since childhood. Yet, he felt he had never known her. What he saw was a loving and gentle wife. But what he heard about her from others had always been different. One said she married him for his money. One said she seduced a Prince behind his back. One said she spiked her sister and sent her to a man’s bed. One said she tortured the servants behind his back. One said… He had heard many such things but never believed anyone. Until one day, he saw how she scolded his brother, slapped his sister-in-law in the face, and pushed his nephew into the pool. He couldn’t take it anymore and asked for a divorce but she rejected to his face. Then he heard the news that she obtained the shares of their company and was about to overturn his brother’s position. “How did she turn into a scheming wife?” he asked, not really expecting any answers. But he got a chance. He woke up to the day he got married. He thought it was his chance to get rid of the woman from his life. He would save his brother and his family from his ‘wife’. He will get a divorce from her. But… Why couldn’t he get rid of this wife at all? Had she been so scheming all her life? Clearly not. In this life, he started seeing her life the way he had not seen before. From her perspective, she had shed tears without him knowing. He realized that he had been a bad husband all along. Suddenly his life changed from trying to divorce her to changing her ‘fate’. Who would win in this battle? Her fate of becoming a scheming woman? Or his determination and … love? #WSA2025 #Mindreading

"Can you shift?" His voice was notably softer. I was grateful for it. As best as I could, I shook my head. The lingering dizziness rang through my head again. With another step forward, I let out my millionth whimper of the day. Goddess, I was like a boring yet concerning recording. From my personal experience, anytime someone with more power than you steps towards you, you should run. You should run far, far away as fast as you can. Chances were, they're going to hurt you. They're going to beat the shit out of you and that's honestly the best you should hope for. He stopped his movements, seeming to give me the time I so desperately need. He sighs. I'm probably annoying him. There was less than five feet between us now. He took another cautious step. I bit my cheek as best I could. "It's okay, little one." He took the final step towards me before crouching down. Even crouched down, I still felt so tiny in his presence; especially while I was in my wolf form. He reached his hand out towards me agonizingly slowly. I begged my fears to go away, putting my head down. Maybe if I can't see him, I won't be too scared. I could feel his hand hovering over me, a static-like feeling I'd never felt before letting me know. Finally, his hand touched my back. The static exploded into tingles. I jumped a little at first, the unknown worrying me. But. . . It feels so good. I'd never experienced this before but I never want it to stop. I relax under his touch. He picked up my small form and held me close, the tingles expanding. There was pain as he picked me up but the tingles were distracting me a good amount. "What's happened to you, little one?"
