“I swear, I’ll kill you if you don’t back the hell up.” “I much rather you kiss me.” ... Twenty-two-year-old Nora Macie is a master of invisibility. As the maid’s daughter in the suffocating Collins mansion, silence isn't just a virtue, it’s survival. With her college tuition funded by the family who owns her mother’s future, Nora’s plan is simple: graduate, stay quiet, and disappear. That plan shatters when a private, scandalous video is accidentally sent to the one person who can destroy her: Asher Collins. Asher is the ruthless heir to a billion-dollar empire and Nora’s untouchable stepbrother. He holds her fate in his hands, but instead of exposing her, he becomes dangerously obsessed. When he discovers Nora’s hidden crush on the "golden boy" James Porter, Asher makes a proposal she can’t refuse. He will remake her—transforming the invisible girl into a woman who commands every room she enters. The metamorphosis is explosive. Suddenly, Nora is the center of a gravity she didn’t ask for. James Porter finally notices her, and Damien Priest, Asher’s lethal rival, begins circling with predatory interest. Her quiet world unravels as she is thrust into a high-stakes game of desire and power. Asher remains the architect of her transformation, pulling the strings with calculated precision. But as Nora evolves into the unforgettable creature he designed, the lines between mentor and monster begin to blur. He was supposed to be teaching her how to catch another man’s eye, yet he can’t stop watching her himself. In a world of glittering wealth and dark secrets, Nora is no longer hiding. But being noticed comes with a price, and Asher is finding it impossible to remember that she was never meant to be his.

Valeria Herrera, la hija querida de una familia poderosa. Desafió a toda su familia para casarse con Sebastián Jiménez, un soltero que ya cargaba con dos hijos y una empresa en ruinas. Durante seis años de matrimonio, amó a los niños como una madre biológica e impulsó la carrera de Sebastián. Los niños crecieron obedientes y cariñosos, y la empresa de Sebastián terminó cotizando en bolsa. Pero justo cuando celebraban su ascenso social, apareció de repente la madre biológica de los niños. Sebastián, siempre tan calculador, perdió completamente la cabeza rogándole que se quedara, humillando públicamente a Valeria. Esa noche desapareció con sus hijos para reunirse con su antiguo amor. Después, Sebastián llegó con los papeles de divorcio: —Gracias por tus años de esfuerzo, pero lo que los niños necesitan es a su madre biológica. La madre biológica añadió: —Gracias por cuidar a mis hijos, pero una madrastra nunca podrá compararse con la madre de verdad. El mérito de criar no cuenta tanto como el de dar la vida. ¡Pues entonces Valeria ya no quería ser madrastra! Pero los niños no aceptaron a su madre biológica ni a su padre. Incluso declararon: —¡Valeria es nuestra única mamá! Si se divorcian, nos iremos con ella aunque tenga que casarse de nuevo!

Quando meu companheiro Alfa, Logan, percebeu que eu não havia submetido uma única solicitação de despesas em três dias, ele entrou em contato comigo por conta própria, pela primeira vez. — Baby, eu já aprovei a próxima fase do tratamento da sua loba. Está vendo? Se você se comportar, não há nada que eu não te dê. Seu tom de voz era afetuoso, como se ele realmente fosse um bom Alfa, preocupado com a sua companheira. Mas o que ele não sabia era que, quando ele disse "bebê", eu já havia terminado de redigir o acordo para romper nosso vínculo de companheiros. Antes de partir, a única coisa que eu consegui levar comigo foi uma velha camiseta, que eu costumava usar quando ele me marcou. Ninguém acreditaria que a adorada Luna da Alcateia Lua Negra, em apenas três anos desde a cerimônia, não conseguisse juntar cinco vestidos decentes que fossem realmente seus. Toda despesa de casa que eu fazia precisava ser aprovada com o selo da Luna, o símbolo do meu próprio poder. — Sienna, cuidar das contas é cansativo demais. Isso vai te desgastar. — Deixe a Chloe cuidar desse trabalho tedioso. Tudo que você precisa fazer é ficar bonita e ser a minha Luna perfeita. E assim, o selo da Luna que deveria ser meu, acabou se tornando algo que eu precisava implorar para a Chloe, a secretária do Alfa, que supostamente estava "lidando com o trabalho tedioso por mim". Três dias atrás, minha loba estava prestes a colapsar. Eu chorei e implorei pelos duzentos mil necessários para a cirurgia de intervenção. Mas Chloe deliberadamente reteve o selo, atrasando a aprovação sob a alegação de procedimento inadequado. Por fim, minha loba, já fraturada, ficou completamente silenciosa nas profundezas da minha alma. E ali eu soube: não havia mais nada entre mim e aquele Alfa.

ROOM 808 It was just a regular night and an ordinary room, but for Rosa, it felt like a bad dream. She didn’t see the man who was with her that night, and she didn’t even know his name. All she could remember was his warm touch and the minty taste of his lips. Her stepsister and sister had set her up, trapping her in that room to ruin her life. Because of that night, she gave birth to a son, and she decided to hide him from everyone. Five years later, when Rosa and her son return to the Philippines, the truth about that night slowly begins to come out. Will Rosa get the justice she deserves? Or will she never learn the truth about her son's father?

Avery Mane was the girl everyone stepped on until the night she almost died. When she wakes from a coma, an invisible System appears… and it’s offering her a new life, one task at a time. Beauty. Confidence. Money. Luck. Power. Now the office that mocked her wants her. Her cold billionaire boss can’t look away. His rival wants to claim her. Her ex comes crawling back. Even her bodyguard is starting to break the rules. Avery isn’t begging to be chosen anymore. This time, she’s choosing and she’s taking everything

A few weeks before our wedding, Rodney Luther's stepmother, Jessica Flaine, posts a photo on her social media. In the photo, she's wearing the wedding dress I picked out, holding a bouquet of red roses, and shyly leaning toward Rodney, asking for a kiss. The caption reads—"Dreams fulfilled." I don't call Rodney in tears or throw a fit like I used to. I simply like the post and leave a comment. "Screenshot sent to Rodney's father." Not long after, Jessica deletes the post, and Rodney's phone call follows immediately. "Ivana, you're being so petty! The rest of my days belong to you. It's only today that I'm fulfilling a small dream of Jessica's. Hurry up and explain things to my dad! "Come on, be good. I've got a gift for you." A scoff escapes me. "Rodney, do you hear me clearly? Go explain it to your father yourself!"

He is the unchallenged Alpha of the Shadow pack. He crushes my hand, lets his true love drive me to the brink, and forces me to lick wolfsbane from my wounds in the punishment chamber, turning me into the pack's laughingstock. I am the Lunar pack's pawn in a political bonding. After enduring three years of humiliation and clutching enemy intelligence, I overturn his throne during the Moon Ceremony, making him watch helplessly as his beloved betrays him and his pack descends into chaos. Later, he backs down. He abdicates as Alpha and gets down on his knees at the pack's border every day, his voice hoarse from shouting, "I was wrong." I hold a blood-stained dagger, my gaze icy as I say, "Your regret is deadlier than wolfsbane and worth even less than my life." Our bonding is a calculated trap, and revenge is the move I am determined to play. Winning him back no longer matters. This time, I am not turning back. I want nothing but his endless remorse and the chance to break my chains and begin a new life.

My husband, Gideon Huber, is a self-righteous hypocrite. He used my money to fund an impoverished student's education fees, forced me to donate my kidney to a homeless man, and even gave my newborn to a human trafficker. Now that I'm reborn, I finally found out why Gideon had done all those things to me in my past life. Apparently, he was bound to the virtue system in my past life. This time, the system has chosen me as its host. Well then, Gideon, please enjoy the feats of "justice" I shall perform on you!

After the Ig publication S.H.I.T Journal goes viral, I search its website out of curiosity. The satirical journal bills itself as a home for all things academic garbage. The moment I open the site, the top trending article catches my attention. It reads, "A Research on How to Deceive a Gullible Foster Mother With Face Blindness and Trick Her into Raising Me as Her Biological Daughter for Twelve Years". "Keywords: deception, face blindness, self-delusion, false family bonds" I freeze and click into the full article with trembling fingers. The more I read, the more terrified I become. "1.1 Definition of face blindness and how to swap daughters to deceive the foster mother" "2.1 Practical uses and drawbacks of the foster mother" "3.1 How to profit by exploiting the foster mother through her face blindness" The content sends a chill through my entire body. The comment section is already in chaos. "Does this mean the author is actually the daughter of the mistress, and her father swapped her to be raised by his wife for twelve years?" "That's not all. Didn't you read 2.1? The wife had her own daughter, and the husband deliberately handed her over to traffickers!" "What the hell… In 3.1, it even says that because the wife has face blindness and can't tell people apart, the author makes deals with single fathers of classmates and sends the wife to…" At that point, my phone slips from my hand and crashes to the ground. The screen shatters instantly. I have severe face blindness, and I have a daughter who was kidnapped and only found again after three years.

My husband lies to me about working late on Christmas Day. I know he wants to give me a surprise—I saw a jewelry set worth millions of dollars in his pocket. However, all I receive is the news of him pretending to be Santa Claus as he delivers a gift to his female secretary. She flaunts it on social media. "You're the most precious Christmas gift I've gotten." My husband changes the background photo on his social media to a photo of them together. I smile and like the post. Later, the secretary comes to me and smugly says she's pregnant. Meanwhile, I pull out a diagnosis report verifying that my husband is sterile. "Checkmate!" She visibly panics.
