Isaiah 40:8

"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?

Allisya Mireya Samudra, liked Luis Edduardo Duttlof, the CEO who is 10 years older than her since their first meeting when they were 8 years old. However, according to Luis, Reya's feelings were only for a moment, because the child was still a teenager who was trying to find his identity. Every day, Reya always gets rejection from Luis, but all these rejections make her even more excited and make Luis sick of seeing her. Until finally, Luis realized the changes that were happening to Reya, and he was very sorry after knowing about Reya's real life. A woman who lives a life full of pretense, and also a woman whose life is like the Calendula flower, the flower he gives when that woman asks for it. A flower that turns out to save a lot of destruction and sadness to survive without anyone wanting it in this world. When Luis tries to make things right, things are no longer the same. And he can no longer apologize to the woman he always hurts directly every day.

Xavier Blackwood is the man every girl at my college dreams about at night, myself included, but I'd never let anyone know that. Standing at 6'8 with steel grey eyes, he's a walking dream, but he's also a world-renowned jerk.

Oh yes, Xavier bloody Blackwood saved my life...but the thing I saw, the CREATURE that ripped those men to shreds wasn't the Xavier everyone knows. He wasn't human... He was a wolf, a demon, a creature from myths, and it was the most amazing thing I've ever seen until he attacked me too and knocked me out. Humans that learn about the existence of werewolves have to die. ...There are NO exceptions. The Werewolf Xavier saved me, but now I am condemned to death To make things worse, both Xavier and Axel claim I am their mate ...this can't be good.

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.

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.

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.

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?
