Suamiku tak memiliki gaji. "Duh saya senang banget kalau udah akhir tahun gini," Ucap Bu Narti saat kami sedang berkumpul menunggu jam pelajaran anak selesai. "Emang kenapa Bu?" Bu Yomi menimpali ucapan Bu Narti. "Ya senang lah, akhir tahun kan suamiku dapat bonus, gaji ke 13, lumayan, terus bulan depannya gajinya naik kan." "Oh gitu, kalau di pabrik suami saya gak ada tuh namanya bonus akhir tahun, tapi gak apa-apalah yang penting punya kerjaan." "Makanya suruh kerja di pabrik yang bonafide kayak suami saya, jangan kerja dipabrik kecil gitu, tahun depan juga kayaknya pabriknya bangkrut hahaha." Ucap Bu Narti dengan tawa terbahak-bahak, padahal menurutku tidak ada yang lucu dari ucapannya itu. Aku hanya diam tidak ikut berbicara apapun. "Ehhh tapi ada yang lebih kasian loh dari Bu Yomi," Bu Narti kembali berbicara. "Siapa?" "Tuh Bu Sofi, suaminya kan cuma pengangguran gak punya gaji hahaha," Bu Narti kembali tertawa.

Hansel Hill, 121 years old, a female werewolf, is forced to go to high school to look after her brother, Alexus Hill (aka Alex). Alex is in his earliest stage in life, 13 years old and first high school, so he needs to have a guide with him in interacting with humans. Hansel hates the idea of going to high school again because she has gone through it three times already, and all of her high school lives are nothing near fun. But, she learns that going to high school again is not all about babysitting her brother. Something happened in their old neighborhood that makes Hansel's existence a threat to their wolf family. Hansel's wolf family believes that she can't handle human interactions anymore and that they need Hansel to be sent to the wilderness. Hansel hates such ideas more than going to high school, so she will prove them wrong by going to high school again maintaining an average simple life of a nerd. On her stay, she will unexpectedly find her mate in the person of Arche Jones, a popular guy who will oddly find her disguise amusing. But as far as Hansel knows, Arche is a human. Can a human mate be possible? Can her planned average simple life be possible? Let's read and see.

His heart was about to burst off its ribcage from the amount of continuous consternation he suffered since the drive to the hospital after he receives the catastrophic news about his wife. Ace Taylor the renowned businessman, world-famous pharmaceutical tycoon, and eminent top textile industrialist of the United States dashed through the entrance of Breach Candy hospital. His eyes searching for the reception flurried as drops of sweat settle down on his forehead even on the biting cold night of mid-December. He slaps the desk on tenterhooks unable to form the right words to gain the attention of the middle-aged lady sitting at the entrance. She raises her head to embrace the attention and her eyes were on stalks to receive the striking Aphrodite who only could be anyone's dream watching on big screens and business magazines standing right in front of her. "My wife...Scarlet Taylor..." "Yes sir..yes sir" the receptionist scurried on her speech and looked through her monitor. "Burns case, room number 13, straight from left Dr. Shahnaaz Hussain is treating her. You can speak..." Ace raced in that direction leaving the receptionist hanging on her words. "Scarlet?" His eyes left red with unshed tears as he shook his wife awake. Scarlet opened her eyes and stared at the man standing in front of her dolorous. "Who are you?"

"Ang Lihim ng Pusong Ipinagbabawal" Akira Quezon, mas kilalang Kira, ay isang dalagang may matamis na ngiti at pusong tapat. Sa kabila ng kanyang kabataan, isang lihim na pag-ibig ang matagal na niyang kinikimkim — isang damdaming itinakda ng tadhana ngunit ipinagbabawal ng lipunan. Ang kanyang puso ay patuloy na tumitibok para kay Axel, ang kanyang gwapong at misteryosong Ninong, na sa kabila ng kanyang 40 taon ay nananatiling makisig at mapanukso. Ngunit sa bawat titig at lihim na ngiti ay nagkukubli ang isang masalimuot na nakaraan. Si Axel ay isang lalaking tila binabalot ng anino ng kanyang sariling mga sikreto. Sa pagitan ng kanilang mga tahimik na sulyap at hindi maipaliwanag na paglalapit, bumabalot ang tanong — hanggang saan kayang ipaglaban ang isang pagmamahal na labag sa lahat ng nakasanayan? Habang unti-unting nahuhubaran ang mga lihim, matutuklasan ni Kira na ang lalaking kanyang iniibig ay may mga sugat ng kahapon na pilit niyang tinatago. Sa pagitan ng katotohanan at pagnanasa, kailangan nilang harapin ang kanilang mga kinatatakutan. Magtatagumpay ba ang pagmamahal nila, o tuluyan silang malulunod sa mga anino ng nakaraan?

남편의 컴퓨터를 닦아주다 나는 실수로 파일 하나를 열게 되었다. 안에는 입에 담을 수 없을 정도의 수위를 가진 영상이 만 개 남짓하게 들어 있었다. 주인공은 바로 남편과 여태 결혼하지 않은 친구 윤아였다. 내가 아이를 낳고 얼마 지나지 않아 남편은 몸을 상해 더는 잠자리를 가질 수 없게 되었다며 플라토닉 연애를 하자고 했고 그렇게 40년간 내게 손도 대지 않았다. 반평생 그를 위해 아이를 낳고 키우면서 살아온 내게 돌아온 건 완벽하게 포장된 거짓말뿐이었다.

The day that I divorced my third husband, the system told me that I had completely failed my mission. I had married three times in this world and they were all targets that were supposed to fall for me. But every single one of them chose to divorce me because of Wendy Somerfield. The system pitied me for doing my best for the past 30 years, so it asked me to target my son. It said that if my son could confidently choose me, between me and Wendy, then I could live. However, it was no exception that the son I gave birth to after 40 weeks of pregnancy chose Wendy, just like my three ex-husbands. They all even pinned the cause of Wendy's illness on me. My first husband, who was my childhood sweetheart, pretended to be softhearted, but he was actually ruthless. He actually tried to convince me to donate one of my kidneys to Wendy. My second husband, who I met on a blind date, used a scalpel to personally cut open my body. My third husband, who I fell in love with at first sight, even threatened me with my son. While spitting out blood from my mouth, I agreed to their requests with a smile. However, when they saw me being pushed out of the operating room, those people who turned their backs on me went crazy.

Sometimes love finds us in the most unexpected places—through the most unexpected person. At 40, Daniel’s life is a careful balance between raising his three children and running the family business. After losing his wife, he built a cold, impenetrable shell around himself—one he has no intention of breaking. Deanna, on the other hand, is full of dreams. With just one year left before earning her degree in Arts, she’s focused on one thing: making it to the opera stage. But when her best friend Harry begs for her help, her life takes an unforeseen turn. An outdated family rule threatens to keep Harry from marrying his pregnant girlfriend. The only solution? His older brother, Daniel, must marry first. To help him, Deanna and Daniel agree to a fake relationship—a temporary arrangement that should have been simple. But the pull between them is undeniable. She brings warmth into his cold world, while he offers her a love she never expected after a painful breakup. Together, they begin to build something real—something worth fighting for. Yet, not everyone wants to see them happy. Between outside forces determined to tear them apart and their own fears whispering doubts, their love faces an uphill battle. And with a 15-year age gap standing between them, one question remains: Can they defy the odds, or will reason win over the heart?

난 알몸으로 냉동고에 갇힌 지 40일째였다. 그리고 모자이크 없이 찍힌 사진들이 온라인에서 미친 듯이 퍼져 나갔다. 쏟아지는 온갖 루머 속에서 어머니는 그 사진을 무심히 공유하며 내 동생에게 다정하게 말했다. “연예계는 이렇게 더러운 곳이야. 넌 그냥 네 언니 유산이나 잘 물려받으면 돼.” “넌 언니랑 달라, 내 소중한 딸은 깨끗하게 살아야지.” 내가 그 더러운 곳에 발을 들인 이유가 어머니의 암 치료비를 벌기 위해서였다는 사실을 어머니는 이미 다 잊은 모양이었다.
