Gi-hun X Sae-byeok

The Moon Goddess made a mistake. At least, that’s what Lycan king Asher tells himself the moment he lays eyes on her—his mate. Dirty. Chained. Barely a wolf. A girl with haunted green eyes and a silence that screams louder than any cry. He's king of the moon realm, part Lycan, part vampire, forged from power and fury. She? She’s a broken, powerless, damaged, anomaly with a scent that tempts his darkness and a bloodline that shouldn’t exist. To him, she’s not a blessing. She’s a threat. A flaw. A test he never asked for. But fate doesn’t care. Dragged into his world of cruel politics, ancient wars, and monsters dressed as royals, she’s meant to stand beside him as Queen. Yet all she can do is survive—and somehow, still defy him with every breath. His Lycan wants to protect her. His vampire wants to devour her. He wants to reject her. And somewhere between blood and betrayal, hate and heat, they start to burn. This isn't a love story. This is a war between fated souls that tries to resist the pull—where dominance tangles with desire, and salvation might just come in the form of a girl who was never meant to survive.

"Ayah, Ibu, aku setuju kuliah di luar negeri." Ketika mendengar putri mereka akhirnya setuju, orang tua yang berada jauh di sana pun merasa lega. "Fellis, akhirnya kamu ngerti. Ayah dan Ibu senang sekali. Kamu buat persiapan ya. Kami akan segera mengatur semuanya untukmu. Sebulan lagi, keluarga kita akan berkumpul kembali." Berbeda dengan orang tuanya yang berbahagia, nada bicara Fellis justru terdengar sangat datar. "Ya, aku tahu." Setelah berbasa-basi sesaat, panggilan diakhiri. Di luar jendela gelap gulita. Fellis tidak menyalakan lampu. Matanya merah, tetapi tidak ada emosi yang terpancar.

Hari peringatan pernikahan kami yang ke-10, suamiku, Franky melangkah masuk sambil merangkul pacar barunya yang ke-100. Lalu dengan tangannya sendiri melepas kalung simbol cinta kami dan memakaikannya ke leher gadis itu. Di tengah tawa para tamu, gadis itu dengan malu-malu menarik gaun yang kupakai dan berkata, “Kak, Pak Franky bilang dia ingin aku memakai gaun ini sekarang.” Gaun itu adalah hasil modifikasi dari gaun pengantinku sepuluh tahun lalu. Aku sengaja mengenakannya hari ini dan dengan bodohnya berpikir Franky akan mengingatnya. Namun, pada hari peringatan pernikahan kami, dia malah menyuruh istrinya melepaskan gaun di depan semua orang untuk pacarnya. Di tengah semua tatapan meremehkan itu, akhirnya aku memberinya senyuman tulus pertama yang kuberikan selama sepuluh tahun ini. “Franky, kita cerai saja.”

Einen Monat vor unserer Hochzeit verkündete mein Verlobter, dass er mit seiner ersten großen Liebe ein Kind zeugen wolle. Ich war dagegen, doch er brachte es Tag für Tag zur Sprache. Zwei Wochen vor der Hochzeit erhielt ich einen Schwangerschaftstest. Erst da erfuhr ich, dass seine erste Liebe bereits seit fast einem Monat schwanger war. Er hatte nie vorgehabt, meine Zustimmung einzuholen. In diesem Moment lösten sich unsere jahrelangen Gefühle in Luft auf. Also sagte ich die Hochzeit ab, vernichtete alle Erinnerungen an ihre gemeinsame Zeit und begab mich am geplanten Hochzeitstag in ein abgeschottetes Forschungslabor. Von da an hatte ich nichts mehr mit ihm zu tun!

t was in the stark interrogation room where Caesar laid eyes on Lola's face for the very first time. Lola, accused of betraying her own country, was in a dire situation. She was draped in nothing but a flimsy, damp garment and weighed down by the clanking chains that bound her to the floor. Clad in his regal black military uniform, Caesar sat as the judge of her trial. Years later, when news of their lavish wedding emerged, the world assumed it was the genesis of their love story. "They said when Caesar, once a general, first saw Lola, shivering in agony and desperation, his heart swelled with empathy. He tenderly removed his black gloves and reached out to her with love." In reality, Caesar never removed his gloves throughout the trial. He sat outside the iron railing, observing Lola with a frigid countenance. But it wasn't until yesterday that Caesar finally held Lola in his arms.

Pada sore hari surat pemberitahuan kondisi kritisku dikeluarkan, Willy membuka sampanye merayakan di laboratorium. Di postingan sosial media, tampak punggungnya dan Angel yang disinari cahaya matahari senja, jas lab mereka diwarnai keemasan. Caption yang menyertai hanya satu kalimat, [Sepuluh tahun, akhirnya berhasil.] Semua orang bilang Pak Willy sangat setia, bekerja siang malam selama sepuluh tahun demi menyelamatkanku. Saat perawat dengan mata berkaca-kaca menyerahkan ponselnya padaku, aku sedang menatap garis naik turun di monitor. Mereka tidak tahu, sebenarnya obat itu sudah berhasil kembangkan setahun yang lalu. Dan aku adalah satu-satunya kandidat yang tidak berhak mendapat obat itu.

Rumors swirled that Emily Rockefeller had been Murray Gibson's cherished "canary" for three years. At nineteen, she became Murray's, groomed to be both obedient and tender. It was said that Murray only saw her as a stand-in, a substitute for his childhood crush, Stacey Zechariah. Rumors persisted that when Stacey returned, Emily's charm faded, and Murray heartlessly kicked her out of his car right on the street. However, rumors are just that. Later on, a gossip magazine captured a rare moment of vulnerability from the usually arrogant Gibson heir. He was found drowning his sorrows in a bar late at night, tearfully asking every passerby, "Why doesn't she want me?"

Tara und Mike haben sich nicht ausgesucht. Eine arrangierte Ehe verbindet sie und zwingt sie in ein Zusammenleben, das so brennend wie explosiv ist. Sie, kühn, hartnäckig, will diesen Mann mit dem feurigen Blick zähmen, diesen kalten, jähzornigen Ehemann, der seine Verletzungen hinter einer Mauer aus Eis verbirgt. Er, geplagt von seinen Ängsten, zerfressen von Eifersucht, kämpft gegen die Unruhe an, die diese aufsässige Frau in ihm weckt.

Mike will sich vor ihr schützen, aber am Ende brennt er vor Verlangen nach ihr. In diesem Krieg, in dem sich Liebe und Hass umschlingen, findet der wahre Kampf woanders statt: zu lernen, Vertrauen zu schenken, zu respektieren, zu heilen. Aber wenn zwei verletzte Seelen aufeinanderprallen, kann man wirklich auf Frieden hoffen … oder nur die Asche einer unmöglichen Liebe ernten? Die Herausforderungen einer Prinzessin

Lima tahun setelah kematianku, ibuku menerima telepon dari polisi yang mengatakan bahwa ada kabar tentang diriku. Ibu bergegas pulang ke kampung halamannya bersama adik laki-lakiku. Setibanya di sana, dia langsung mendobrak pintu rumah nenek. "Mana Stella? Jago juga anak sialan itu bersembunyi. Cepat ambil kornea matanya buat adiknya." "Stella sudah meninggal," ucap Nenek terbata-bata sambil menangis. Ibu malah mencibir, "Bohong, polisi sudah meneleponku dan mengatakan kalau sudah ada kabar tentang dia." "Dasar nenek tua sialan! Kalau kamu nggak menyerahkannya sekarang, keluar sana dari rumah ini." Melihat sikap ibu, nenek menangis dan mengeluarkan fotoku dengan gemetar. "Stella, kamu nyesel tolongin adikmu?"

The once-revered socialite, Adora Matthews, was abducted for three years. After escaping death and making her way back, she thought the nightmare was finally over, only to plunge into yet another abyss. Her once-doting parents now treated her like a plague. Her fiercely protective older brother loathed her to the core. The adopted sister she once cared for mocked her with cutting remarks. Even her childhood sweetheart, who once sworn eternal love, was now engaged to that very sister, wishing for her death. All because of the rumors that she had contracted a vile disease, given birth to an old man’s child, and disgraced the Matthews family. With no other choice, she severed all ties and walked away, secretly carrying a fortune worth millions. Without hesitation, she entered a flash marriage with Louis Walker. Everyone knew Louis Walker was a surgical prodigy—young, brilliant, and from a prestigious family. Yet, no one dared to approach him, let alone propose marriage. His temperament was unpredictable, his moods volatile—genius and madness teetering on the edge. But after marrying the disgraced heiress of the Matthews family, Louis transformed into the ultimate doting husband, flaunting his love in public and clinging to her in private. As the Matthews family faced imminent bankruptcy with no way out, they turned to their son-in-law as a last resort. "For the sake of the family, help us find the mastermind who ruined us..." Louis, holding his wife in his arms, kissed her delicate fingers and smirked. "My dear Adora has such beautiful hands. Tell me, how did these flawless hands of hers manage to ruin you?" The Matthews family stood frozen in shock. "Adora... it was you?!"
