When I woke up that morning and happened to glance at the mirror, a scream tore from my throat before I could stop it. Because on the face I had always taken such pride in, there was now a jagged, horrifying scar. As terror gripped me, a cool, detached female voice cut through the air beside me. "What are you shrieking about so early in the morning? Scared by your own ugly face?" I looked up in shock and realized the voice belonged to my girlfriend, Alicia. Only—she wasn't the same girl from yesterday. Gone was the youthful innocence I remembered. In its place, every movement, every glance radiated the allure of a mature woman. The words slipped out before I could hold them back. "Babe… you're gorgeous…" But Alicia's brows knit together, her gaze colder than ice. "Kurt, drop the act!" Act? I was at a loss. Why would she accuse me of pretending? "Don't call me the way you used to five years ago. It's disgusting." Five years ago? But… I'm still twenty-three… am I not?

Marianna Kingwicke lived for love, and died because of it. Betrayed by those she trusted most, her life ended in pain, her justice unserved. But death wasn’t the end. Given a second chance, she awakens in a world that’s colder, crueler, and far more dangerous. This time, she won’t make the same mistake: love no one, trust even less, and destroy the ones who destroyed her. But fate has other plans. Trapped in an arranged marriage to Vincenzo Lombardo—the second heir of a ruthless mafia empire—Marianna is forced into the lion’s den. Her instincts scream that he’s part of the threat. Her heart? It’s slowly forgetting the rules. Because Vincenzo isn’t what she expected. Under his cold exterior lies a man shackled by his own demons and drawn to the woman who threatens everything he’s built. Haunted by their pasts and hunted by enemies in the shadows, Marianna and Vincenzo must decide—will they fight each other or the forces determined to destroy them both? In a world of blood ties and broken vows, revenge has a price. And love? It might be the most dangerous game of all.

When your CEO is colder than a tax audit, allergic to emotions, and famous for firing people mid-sentence, the last thing you expect is to catch him ugly-crying over a K-drama in the office at 2 a.m. But that’s exactly what happens to me — Hailey Park, his overworked (and underpaid) assistant — when I accidentally walk in on Ethan Jang, Seoul’s most feared corporate shark, sobbing into a tissue, whispering, “Don’t die, Eun-bi…” Now he’s bribing, threatening, and borderline begging me to keep his little secret. Except keeping it isn’t so easy when: He starts quoting romantic K-drama lines during board meetings. Our “pretend dating” scheme (to avoid a scandal) somehow turns into him practicing confession scenes with me. And worst of all… I might actually be falling for the man who once told HR I “breathed too loud near his espresso machine.” He’s all logic, I’m all chaos. He’s corporate stoicism, I’m K-drama-level dramatic. And together, we’re rewriting the script — one accidental heart flutter at a time.

Hilda Michaela has been in love with her crush Edwilson Autore ever since she was a child. When an unexpected nightstand between the two led to a pregnancy, their families arranged for them to marry. Even though Wilson was against their union, Hilda devoted her life to him, hoping that he would love her back. Years passed, yet Wilson was the same. He became even colder when Hilda mysteriously lost the pregnancy exactly after a month of their marriage. This infuriates him even the more and only viewed their union as a trap. One day, he thrust divorce papers into her face when she least expected. "I've been thinking about this for a while, let's go our separate ways" he bellowed. Years later, when their paths cross, yearning reflected in his eyes as he pleaded, "Hilda.. Can you take me in again?" Hilda let out a loud empty laugh before she gazed at him with zero emotions and sneered, " I would love to take you in darling but the last I checked, i didn't own a daycare."

When Ava Walker agreed to a marriage she barely understood, it wasn’t love she sought — it was escape. A quiet woman with a past she never speaks of, Ava only wanted to start over. But fate had other plans. Ethan Newton, heir to the Newton Group, was supposed to marry the woman his grandfather handpicked — a polished socialite, perfect for the family name. One mistaken signature, one unexpected bride, and his life took a turn he never saw coming. By the time Ethan realized he had married the wrong woman, it was too late. Divorce wasn’t an option.
