Diana, the little girl from an abandoned village, ran away when she was about to be sold into slavery, but not before saying goodbye to the fairies. In return, the fairies give her their blessing. This is her story from childhood to adulthood, full of joy and sorrow.

"Leave my house, this instant!" The old woman screamed and pushed her out. Diana was shocked. Yes! Everyone hated her for looking ugly and if there's one person that dote on her, then it's this woman. Her grandma. She was told to never show up in her hometown and only get to see the woman when she visited, once in a while, but work brought her here and she was excited to drop by and enjoy her grandma's warmth. But that's the response? She felt devastated. It felt like everyone was against her now. Her parents and twin sister treated her like the stain in the family and her only source of confidence to show that someone still cares, just chased her away. She was shunned by the society for her look, yet it never broke her. She has replies to every insult you could ever pass on her. She was strong and tried to be on her own. If you let her be, then you will never know how stubborn she was, but that exact day, things change. ….. Her life was wanted. Her real birth mother resides in that same town and was enduring a marriage to a dangerous man, just to keep the man from learning that Diana lives. That her baby didn't die. He wanted to erase the link that connected his woman to another man. He's obsessed with Diana's mom and wanted her for himself alone.  Diana's real father was still in a coma because of this man and Diana just delivered herself to him. She was still feeling hatred towards everyone as she left her grandma's place, not knowing that she was followed there and the woman had been abducted immediately when she left. She decided to stop giving a damn about everyone. …. Then she saw him. It wasn't really him, but looked like him. The twin brother of the man that she had started to like. He told her the previous day that he would be leaving the country to search for his brother, but Diana had no idea that she's now looking at the brother that he went to search for. She thought he lied to her. She thought he said that to make her disappear from his line of sight like most people do. He was also a very dangerous man, and Diana's next action piqued his interest. She was furious and decided to let out her frustration on someone, not having any idea how she just saved herself, because she was still being followed. The guy, who was the head of an assassination organization ended up detecting that someone was following her. Seeing how Diana mistook him as his brother, he decided to look into it, because his brother wasn't the type to get close to women.  Diana, who was knocked out to calm her, woke up to hear the story of how her grandma was rescued half dead by the people from the organization. Her real life story was told to her on that same day and she got a proposal to become an assassin. Not only would she stay safe from the man that would do everything to kill her, she could come back strong, get her revenge and save her mother from him.   She could be happy with her family again and be with Ethan, her love.  join the server link: https://discord.gg/Q7tY3F8

The screech of brakes tore through the rainy night as Zoe Xu, twenty-nine, drew her last breath in a fatal car crash. The final image seared into her mind was Hugh Pei holding another woman, Lila Wei, in his arms—a sight that, combined with the news of her family's bankruptcy, became the cruelest epitaph for her short life. The marriage that began as a business alliance had ended with her tragic death, paving the way for him and his "one true love." But at the moment of her death, fate hit the reset button. Zoe awakens in her bedroom, three months into her marriage with Hugh. The crystal chandelier still sparkles, but the woman in the mirror has not yet been worn down by his emotional neglect. A glimmer of foolish hope for their marriage still lingers in her eyes. This time, the proud heiress of A-City is done being subservient. She is determined to tear down the "perfect couple" charade. She watches his cold detachment with indifference and, this time, is the first to serve the divorce papers. The love and hate of her past life have burned to ashes; all she wants is to reclaim what her family lost and live for herself. But then, things begin to go off the rails. Hugh, who once treated their home like a hotel, starts coming home on time. The man who never spared a thought for her feelings now brings her hot coffee when she works late. His strange behavior sends ripples across the calm surface of Zoe's heart. Is this the butterfly effect of her rebirth, or is he plotting something new? A chance encounter at "Encounter Café" brings an even bigger surprise. Lila Wei, the girl Hugh cherished, is there, bustling between tables in an apron, her smile as bright as the rumors say. But looking into her eyes, Zoe sees an innocence that startles her. Perhaps this "one true love" never knew she was a weapon destined to shatter another woman's life. As Hugh and Lila meet and fall in love again, just as they did in the past, Zoe stands at a crossroads, questioning for the first time: is revenge the only answer? From quiet endurance to sharp brilliance, Zoe reclaims her family's honor in the world of business while navigating an emotional tug-of-war that reveals the truth of the heart. Hugh's belated affection, Lila's innocent gaze, and the growing pains of her own rediscovery weave a complex web. She finally understands that rebirth isn't about repeating hatred, but about the chance to choose: to drown in the pain of the past, or to walk towards a future that is truly her own. This is a story of female awakening—a battle fought when the illusion of marriage is stripped away and the halo of a "perfect rival" shatters. It’s a story where two evolving souls collide and spark amidst the city's neon lights. You'll find an emotional chess game of sweetness and angst, the satisfying thrill of a comeback against all odds, and the courage of a woman rebuilding herself from the ruins. This urban romance—a blend of second chances, powerful protagonists, and real-world questions—will pull you in. After all, life offers no true do-overs, but we always have the power to rewrite our ending.

What if a pacifist needed to work for mobsters ? Yoh Song-ho dreams about dancing in the Opera of Paris but living in North Korea doesn't help. After travelling illegaly to France, he must pay the trup by assassinating people for his boss. Here where it stinks ; his target is a political influence, and he sweared to kill Song-ho's mother if anything were to happen to him. And if he doesn't do the work, our aspiring prima ballerina will be the one assassinated.

They said she died peacefully. That's what they always say, don't they? When someone slips away in a hospital bed - when the machines stop beeping, and the room goes quiet except for the sigh of grief no one dares to release. Peaceful. Like death is ever kind. I was five. Too young to understand why my mother wasn't waking up. Too small to make sense of the nurses whispering in the hallway or the way they looked at me, like I was already a problem they didn't know how to solve. Her name was Rebecca. She was twenty-five. And her blood betrayed her. They said it was cancer. Aggressive. Silent. A thief in the bloodstream. By the time they caught it, it had already taken everything. I was all she had. And when she left, I had no one. No father. No family. Just a name I couldn't pronounce, and a world I didn't belong to. The system chewed me up und spat me out. Foster homes. Group homes. Back and forth like a package No one ordered. Smiles that didn't last. Promises that broke before they were even spoken. Every time someone tried to "fix" me, I'd break first, make sure they knew I was no one's charity case. No one's second chance. Eventually they stopped trying. I got older. Quieter. I stopped waiting to be rescued and started fighting instead. Literally. Underground rings don't ask for backstories. Just fists. Blood. And that, at least, I could give them. Then one night, seventeen years into this messy life, someone knocked on my door. A stranger. Two of them, actually. His name was Marcello Mariano, a man I'd only ever heard of in headlines. CEO. Businessman. Untouchable. I knew his face from magazines. I knew his name from rumors. But I didn't know why he'd come for me. Or what kind of danger was following him. All I knew was that everything I thought I knew about my life... Was a lie. And now the weight I never asked for is trying to pull me under. But I won't drown. Not again.
