Dominant Omega celebrity Althea Vale wakes up with severe amnesia, only to be confronted by her stunning, ice cold Alpha CEO wife, Haven Hartwell. Haven claims their two year marriage was a cold, calculated "corporate contract" necessitated by Althea's own tyrannical past. Terrified of the monster she used to be, Althea sets out to investigate, armed with a chaotic pinboard, a loyal Golden Retriever, and her confusingly potent pheromones. She quickly discovers two truths: Haven is intensely, secretly devoted to her and the CEO's corporate shield is built on far more profound secrets than just a broken heart. Now, Althea must use her sassy, amnesiac charm to shatter Haven’s emotional control and uncover the truth of their shared past, before her powerful wife's concealed life and the true identity of the woman Althea used to be ruin them both.

“The Crawling Veil” “Those who seek answers know not what truths they will unveil. Curiosity is history’s greatest strength… yet man’s ultimate downfall.” Boston, 1930. Harrison P. Love is a private investigator running from his past. Broke, weary, and haunted by a sixth sense he barely understands, he takes cases others won’t touch. But when a frantic woman begs him to find her missing adopted daughter in the cursed town of Arkham, Harrison faces a choice: starve, or return to the place that nearly destroyed him. Arkham is no ordinary town. Its fog-shrouded streets reek of salt and secrets. The townsfolk whisper of a black pharaoh who stalks dreams, of children vanishing without a trace, and of strange geometries that bend the mind. As Harrison searches for the girl, his sixth sense begins to awaken in terrifying ways—visions of impossible landscapes, voices that don’t belong, and memories he can’t trust. Each clue draws him deeper into a labyrinth of cults, madness, and cosmic forces older than the stars. At the heart of it all waits Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos—a god with a thousand faces and one singular purpose: to unmake Harrison’s mind and use his body as a vessel to walk the earth. To find the girl, Harrison must confront his own trauma, the truth behind his strange blue eyes, and the horrifying reason Arkham has been calling him back all along. But in a world where truth itself corrupts, some answers are better left unknown.

Prologue – Rui I am the one who pins Kael Valdemar to the inside of my eyelids every night. Not the Kael they all see (cold, perfect, untouchable), but the one who exists only when he thinks no one is watching: the way he rubs the back of his neck when he’s tired, the tiny exhale he lets out before he smiles at something small, the exact second his shoulders drop when the door closes and the crown finally slips. I have memorized the shape of his mouth saying words he never says to anyone else. I have tasted the air he leaves behind in empty hallways. I have pressed my lips to every photograph until the paper tore. People think obsession is loud. Mine is quiet. It is the soft click of a camera shutter at 3:17 a.m. It is the way I learned to breathe in the exact rhythm of his sleep cycle so my heart doesn’t disturb him through the wall. It is the single white rose I leave on his pillow and remove before he wakes, just to know my scent was the first thing his dreams touched. I am not here to rule him. I am here to be the place where all that terrifying strength finally rests. One day soon he will lean down to check if the fragile transfer Omega is okay (because he always checks), and I will rise on tiptoes, slide my fingers into his hair, and kiss him like I have rehearsed in the dark a thousand times. He will taste vanilla and something darker underneath. He will freeze. He will realize too late that the softest mouth in the world just claimed the only throat he was ever meant to bare. I am Rui. And I have been kissing Kael Valdemar long before he ever learned my name. Content Warning: 18+

In a fractured world devoured by strange, haunting creatures, Tharos awakens from a prison not made of stone or steel, but of shadow—a darkness so deep, time itself seems to have forgotten him. He does not know how long he slept, nor who he truly was before the silence claimed him. But as he steps once more into a land choked by ruin and memory, he is thrust into a journey far greater than survival. Along the way, Tharos must navigate the crumbling remains of what once was, and the twisted echoes of what might still be. He will confront the fragments of his soul, the truth behind his identity, the weight of his past, and the shivering uncertainty of his future. Most of all, he must face the darkness—not the one that surrounds him, but the one that lives within. This is not merely a tale of monsters and forgotten lands—this is a descent into the self, into the quiet terror of memory, silence, and the shadows that shape us when all light is gone.

Shocking! The rough husband is the hidden master in the time-travel novel. She is the sacrificial victim for the male lead's pursuit of true love, the pitiful person who transforms grief and indignation into motivation, the obsessive person who constantly wants to slap the male lead's face with money, the lemon essence contrasting the female lead’s gentleness and generosity. Xu Qinghuan: Emma, is this talking about me? Xu Qinghuan transmigrated into a book, into a time-travel novel written by her best friend, where her father died early, her mother remarried, and she was raised in her second uncle's home since childhood. Her cousin and fiancé are entangled? "Break off the engagement, whoever wants the central air conditioner can take it!" Her biological mother manipulates her with work? Isn't it just going to the countryside? The Great Northeast's black land is fertile, where every year you can lie on the heated kang and eat for half the year. Which corporate slave wouldn’t love it? Most importantly, there is a big shot she wants to cling to. Jiang Xingye is someone that even the male lead admires, the future global richest man, the hidden master in the book. After going to the countryside, Xu Qinghuan goes straight to Jiang Xingye. Her original plan was to be a little follower for the big shot and never thought of developing an inappropriate relationship with him. When the man gruffly raises his eyebrows and coaxingly tells her to hold on a little longer, she only wants to ask: What about being wealthy and detached? What about having a strong career ambition and no time for romance? What about being a 007 workaholic who doesn’t even return home?
